Any crackers or biscuits. So far i have tried Jacobs high iron vegetable crackers and Crabtree Evelyn cranberry cookies. I broke them into tiny pieces and put in small container, then pop 1 piece into mouth everytime feel queasy.
Twinkle24,
the eggs in cookies and cakes, etc are considered cooked after the baking process. I think we just need to avoid raw eggs in certain dishes like caesar salad (depends on whether restaurant uses premade dressing which will be pasteurised or makes its own with raw eggs) or sukiyaki where you dip cooked beef slices into a raw egg mixture.

Piggiedearz, I think pregnancy is teaching us to slow down our pace in life. Yesterday after vomiting for whole day. I was sitting at home with iPad on hand lying on bed. Touch wood, all ok. Evening time went for hor fun. Take less than half and felt not so good. Hubby ask me to stop. Say if hungry eat later again . And whole evening I never vomit . I lie on bed through the night.
But bad point, I feel lazy

E-tan, my appetite at 5 week+ is also very good. I only found out I was pregnant after eating Chinese medicine for two weeks to make menses come. The tcm urge me to o back and test.
My appetite was always good before menses, that's why never in my mind that I think I am pregnant.

E-tan, after knowing I am pregnant , my appetite got from bad to worse . Now I am at the stage where hungry also dun dare to eat.
I think I belong to the minority who have problem of excessive salivation during early stage of pregnany. Same for my #1.
I keep having the yucky taste and smell. Even my hubby complaining, ask me to vomit properly and to open the to open the windows for ventilation . Yucks , when will I be better ????

Just wondering, anyone taking bee pollen? My MIL bought bee pollen for me, not sure if it's safe to eat? There seems to be conflicting views on the Internet.

Pandager, i ever ask doctor before if we overdose folic acid how? He say safe. Body will just absorb what is needed and pass the rest so no need worry. I am now on 10 mg daily though required is only 5 mg.
Shirlynn, i also got yucky taste in my mouth! Really yucky! Sometimes no choice, i suck sweets and felt better for a while.

E-tan, dun think chicken is good for blood lei. Try to talk to your Gynea . I always had low blood count also. My Gynea ask me to take beef. My hubby stop taking beef a few years back . But he will accompany me a few times each week for my steak. He will go for fish / chicken . That is for my first pregnancy . I think I will wait till 2nd tri before going for my steak, now everything goes in also feel wasted. Moreover each time only can take 1/3 to 1/2 portion.

For myself during the first pregnancy , the Chinese tcm from marine parade ask me to double boil the chicken and drink the essence itself. It may looks a bit oily. My mil also prepare for me off and on.
Had a bit of nausea over the weekend but no vomiting. I realised that the nausea felt worse when I lay down to rest and it occurred to me that maybe it's mild heartburn I'm feeling that causes the sense of nausea. Ate one antacid and felt a lot better. Worth a try if any of you ladies feel uncomfortably bloated and slightly nauseous because of that.
Also went to the library today and borrowed 2 magazines - Fit Pregnancy. Very informative as it focuses on the health aspects of pregnancy and the newborn days. I recommend it!

Yanyan,
I haven't told #1 about my pregnancy yet. He's 32 months old and extremely attached to me. We used to ask him jokingly if he would like a baby to play with and he would always angrily reply 'no'. I'm not planning to tell him much until the pregnancy is more advanced, like maybe when the bump appears, because I think it's too hard for them to understand that there's a baby inside Mummy's tummy when they can't see anything. I also think that maybe he can't retain the concept for so many months, if I tell him when I'm 5mths pregnant there's still some time for him to get used to the idea.
Mums with 2 or more, any recommendations for preparing older siblings for the new arrival?

Foxinthesnow, my boy coming 5 yrs old this July always say he do not want any siblings. But recently after my sil gave birth to twin gals. He start to accept. He will say he want a "didi" who can play with him.
Recently I always feel so sick , he ask me what happened? I tell him I was like this when he was in my stomach. I tell him there is a baby inside now. I also show him the pregnancy stages from baby centre. He tell me he also seen something similar in school.
Ending, he asked me, "mummy, when will you be better?". I was thinking and thinking.... "till you are out of my stomach"

Amanpp, I was like this when I have my #1, it's my morning process to go to work. I am not sure if it's bcos of movements which aggravate the morning sickness. Sitting at one place after a meal will reduce .
If you feeling bad, maybe you can tell your gynea . My gynea give me one week rest this week bcos of excessive vomiting.

shirlynn: ya, i also suspect certain movements aggrravate the morning sickness badly.. like in the morning, i was sitting down in the train lor not even standing up, but the nausea is equally bad if i need to stand up throughout the journey.. i can even feel i m a bit shaking, cold sweat(maybe weak) and jelly legs lor.. i thot i will faint in anytime.. but still, i manage to tahan till i reached my station..
i m seeing him this thur, will highlight this issue to him..

hi shirlynn.. yup after i know im pregnant, my pace slowed down a lot (though not i want de la haha) and i smtimes feel bored n useless too. but i guess we just have to adapt to it and try to make ourselves feel better.
hi amanpp.. sad to hear u ur bad wkend.. yup i think mornngs are generally worse compared to other times of the day. plus u have to squeeze bus/train with so many people, definately not a good experience esp when u're hving ms. i think the duphaston is making us feel worse. it caused restlessness in me. im seeing doc tmr to change it , hope another type will make me feel better..
hi etan.. we have the same gynae!

hi amanpp.. me too actually. sad n guilty to say this. actually last wk been quite depressed, cry a few times a day too. even thot of giving up. but many frens keep encouraging me and giving me advise. so i try to hang on. my family and hb has been sweet n supportive too.
i've gd n bad days. on days tt i skip duphaston, i feel quite gd. i can cope w the nausea by taking the primperan though very drowsy. and i try to eat whenever i feel the hunger pangs come on, this reduced the nausea quite a bit. my fren also recommended me to suck on sweets after meals. i bought the fisherman's fren lemon n lime flavour sweet and it helped my nausea a lot but i juz realised it has artificial sweeteners which may not be gd so im gg to ask the doc tmr too. see wad he says. hopefully small doses still ok then i can continue to take. i went to buy a few other kinds of sweets without artificial sweeteners, slowly trying them out see which is as gd as the 1 i have now. u can try some sweets to see if they help?

Amanpp, slow down your walking pace in the meantime, it helps also. I often take deep breathes whenever I feel unwell.
Me too, only the positive make me happy, after that nothing seems to go well
Piggiedearz , me too. Either feel cold for no reason or sometime my body so hot , my hubby ask if I am having fever.

Good morning all mommies,
I am new to this forum, just tested positive last Friday. The clear blue digital kit shows 2-3 weeks pregnant. When I called to make appt with gynae, the assistant told me I only need to go for doc appt on 26th April... That's like abt mth later... Is it normal?? Or am I being too anxious??
