weight gain
actually i know if i control, should be within 12kg de, before i am pregnant i was on diet and managed to lose about 6kg in 2 months. But i can't put myself on diet now mah just to maintain healthy weight gain, haha tough decision.. i see my food intake now and compare to 3 months ago, sure put on weight super easily now.. maybe got to cut down a bit on carbo and sweet stuff since i quite like sweet stuff this time...

I'm also scared of weight gain. My mom n my aunty ballooned after the 2nd or 3rd child! This is my #1. I don't know how much weight I have gained since the last time I went to see the Dr was at 6 weeks. I was already 68kg then. Borderline overweight lor at 1.65m. YIKES!
Maybe we can go exercise together when the time comes? I'm the kind who don't have enough will power to diet. But I do enjoy exercising

forgot to say, if you are craving for sashimi, just go for it.. my gynae told me it's absolutely fine to eat that.. and i ate a lot during my last pregnancy actually.. no problem at all.. i know some might say raw meat better avoid but i think really there's no prob, just like japanese eats sashimi, indians eats curry, koreans eats kimchi and French eats cheese, there's no way for them to avoid such food also mah..

Actually, all along I'm quite greedy. But at least after lunch, if I have a gd one, I can wait till dinner. Now there's no such thing as wait. Jialat! Hope this doesn't mean t#2 will be as impatient as his gorgor!
petrina
Same! I will feel nauseous when hungry. If don't eat, will feel worse & worse! After eating, nausea goes away.
May, Felicia
Thanks for mentioning Macs cheeseburger hor! last night sent Hubs out to buy the doublecheeseburger. This morning, craving again!

sashimi
I will never forget the time when I was 5 mths preggie with #1, sitting in a small, local sushi shop next to the osaka fish mkt, eating the freshest & most ridiculously cheap sushi ever! When the shop ran out of a certain fish, they just popped next door to get a few more from the mkt. Can't beat that for freshness! Argh... super miss!

joeey: me! i muz drink pu er every day.. i use half a tea bag meaning i get the correct thickness then after that i'll keep adding hot water. so as i drink it gets diluted.. but i need a cup a day.
petrina
Oh you poor thing. I hate the aftertaste of puking. No matter how we brush, rinse, gargle, don't seem to have any effect to wash away the yucky taste.
joeey
Yeah lor. Those were the days! Went to Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima & Kakunodate with ILs for the last trip before being tied down. Am so glad I went & so glad I ate the sashimi. Planned to bring my boy to Hokkaido before his 2nd bday but the quake happened. Boohoo!
I can't stomach the sushi & sashimi in Singapore, coz they're just so no standard compared to Japan lor
I drink up to 2 cups of tea a day. Sometimes it's Coke, chocolate, Milo etc. Think I exceed the 200mg caffeine per day limit *oops* But I did so for my #1, nothing happened. So I just drink lor hahaha
petrina
Alamak! I aws buy the double cheeseburger lor. the rest are like.. cannot even fill the corner of the tummy haha

What did u had for dinner? Maybe if u take soft food, vomitting might not be so straining to ur throat. I hope u do recover fr ur cough soon!
Felicia
Hubby will nvr allow me to eat lor. He's d protective kind of hubby n i think he is going to be d protective kind of father. Plus, I'll feel so guilty if somethg happened after consuming it. I've read that sashimi itself is safe but d handling n serving might cause some contamination.

Nope, I didn't even take belly pics for #1 haha
petrina
Er.. 6 weeks preggie means actually only skip 4 weeks of folate. The first 2 weeks still got no baby. Don't worry so much lah. There are so many women who don't even know they're preggie till 3mths, also nothing wrong. I didn't take folic acid till 6 weeks also haha, coz I also didn't know I was preggie

Don't worry! I started eating at 6 weeks too. I don't think it'll be an issue bcos some food that u had consumed has folate too. Plus, my mama told me she didn't eat any supplement when she was expecting. There's d 5 of us n we're all healthy. She n my father couldn't afford to go to d doc's. With one of her pregnancy she only started to see d doc in d 6th mth. With another pregnancy she only started in d 8th mth n got a gd scolding by d nurses n doc.

Likewise I didnt know I'm pregnant till 6 weeks and started to eat folic acid then. So it's alright....not to worry.
I noticed that most of you feel nauseous if hungry, but I'm weird cos i only feel nauseous after my meal. Why is that so??

Issit? My gynae says folic acid only for first tri leh *scartch head* That's what books say also.
Aiyoh pls don't eat double dose lah. If it gets flushed out in urine, at least it won't do any harm. What if it's gets stored in fat & in your baby's liver etc then how?
Anyway I think required dosage is something like 400mcg but the pill we have is 5000mcg. More than enough liao haha

folic acid
most of us start eating around 5th week onwards cuz before that dunno we are preggy, so Petrina i think you are perfectly fine, but just rem to eat daily lor till delivery..
Sel is right lor our mummies never eat supplements last time, but the big diff is, nowadays babies are way smarter lor, new born got hair and can open eyes immediately, some can lift up head and turn around even.. last time we blur blur gong gong eat and sleep only.. LOL..
i got a colleague, the wife only realized she's preggy when she's 5 months plus, started to see doc at 6 months only.. of course means started folic acid only after that.. then the new born was sent to ICU for a full day on the first day since he is not crying much like most other new borns.. I am not saying it is because his mummy started supplements late, but all my colleagues went for his full month celebration said the boy is very small (he didn't gain much weight after 1st month), and does not look smart and active like most babies we met.. so i think folic acid is really important as it helps the brain development i think..

We need to engage baby very much straight after birth. We need to talk and keep them close, that is what I learned when I undergo my Dip in early childhood teaching and Masters of Education, specializing in early childhood.
I believe in after birth teaching to brighten the kids in 5 areas of development, esp in the area of cognitive. Most 1st month baby look gong gong one, for most of their time, they spend sleeping. but from month 2 and fro, get them to get engage you more. They will pick up.
Patience and ways to teach kids are impt

Folic acid
This is more for spinal development. Without it, the spine may not fuse properly. So no need to take until birth. My first one i started only after 5 weeks or 6, so it's not a problem. For this one, i think i started while trying, so maybe i started 2 or 3 weeks earlier.
For intelligence, take fish oil, but don't start now. I remember it is much later in the pregnancy.
Double dosage
Yeah, cannot take double dosage. Our liver cannot take it, and some may cause problem.
Gender
I had a feeling that i might have a boy for #1, but then the scans weren't conclusive, so i was hoping for a girl. Was a little disappointed when confirmed to be boy. In the end, after i gave birth and went to geomancer, he asked me why i kept thinking my son was a girl, based on his birth characters. So now, even though i hope to have a girl, so that can have both genders, i try not to think to much in case i project wrong energy to a baby whose gender is already determined at conception. My husband would prefer a boy as he has a brother and think boys are easier to look after.
Regarding old wives tales, my stomach was really pointed and it was a boy. Nowadays, with scanning, we can tell the gender before our tummies get that big for people to guess.
Re burgers
I only take macs fillet o fish without tartar sauce. Easiest to buy in the morning coz other stalls that are opened in my area only sell fried beehoon and other fried stuff which is a big nono for me at the moment.
Anna: i think feeling after a meal comes as the gastric juices are produced to digest the food, but our stomachs over produce them to the extent that we feel nauseaus.

if i rem correctly, lunar age doesn't go by birthday but go by year.. so for me say 1979 Nov right, i conceive in Sep which is before my birthday but this year i still turn 32, so Lunar age will be 32+1 = 33
And conceive month the same, look at chinese lunar calendar can liao, for most of us should be Lunar month Aug..

Jul,
month and age are all based on lunar calendar.
Age is lunar age ( calendar + 1 yr). So if you are born 30 this year, then yr age based is 31., regardless of BBday or not.
for month, for example, one's LMD sep11'11, then i should look at Aug.
Then if age 31, Aug, should be Gal !
