Evilicious (evilicious) : whats wrong with u??

joanne: welcome

catherine: we r all ladies
happy.gif
many ppl here help me through my bad times
 
my first post of the week... been feeling down lately due to the pregnancy symptoms.. i think my baby is all out to make my life miserable..

Ladies, how do u keep the upbeat attitude? and people keep saying "if u want tahan this, wait till u give birth. that's when nightmare comes".. sigh...
 
chubbyfingers,
only we know exactly how our body is feeling...eventually only we can help to psy ourselves.. let's cheer each other up... i think most of us another month to go before 1st trimester...let's jiayou together!! we can do it!

each baby is different. my #1 wasn't easy to take care when she was young.. now looking back, we appreciate each of those moments =)
 
KongKong: tody my 1st Chk up.. Den scanning cannot detect baby
sad.gif
so I use scope, so scary! Lucky bb is fine, got heartbeat. And very tiny 4.5mm only! Haha.. Dr did ask whether I wanna do Oscar Scan anot, u girls think necessary? I'm 23 this year..
 
chubbyfingers (chubbyfingers) : think we both r same gang de, we always have a negative thinking (even though no MS yet), but i just feel im suffering due to tiredness, giddyness n no taste in all food

hmmm, nightmare when we give birth is only not enough zz...


haizzz, perhaps im greedy, i wish for a perfect journey without nightmares ba
 
chubbyfingers/kidomum, I also very scare to go through the first 2-3 months after child birth. Coz I had a bad experience with my difficult #1. Cried all day and keep puking milk. Hardly any sleep for me and my family. Scary loh. I hope #2 will be an easy baby. Really nightmare to me. First trimester MS with emo feeling is not good, but if think of the taking care of baby first few months I think MS is nothing liao. hahaha... I also agree it depends very much on your baby. Some baby easy, some not.
 
Evilicious (evilicious) : i rem u say can see bb the 1st round right? onli no heart beat... u have been so nice, sure god will bless u...
happy.gif


u heard the heartbeat? hw many weeks r u le?

i think regardless of age, hmmm,,, any scan or blood test, i will do de
 
Evilicious: At my gynae visit last Friday, I was too gassy for a ultrasound through the tummy, so the doc inserted a scope into my vagina to scan. The images were very clear, could see the yolk sac, the outline, and the blinking heart. Wasn't uncomfortable for me. Don't worry!
 
Chubbyfingers: Don't listen to the negative people... They are miserable, and misery loves company. When you are positive, you'll come to realize MS is easier to go through. For example, if you feel nauseous and tired, know that it is because your body is doing this for your child. This is something very noble, not everyone has the chance or ability to bring life to this world. It's not your baby's fault. MS is your body's way of taking care of your baby, making sure its healthy

Why not watch some light comedy? Cheerful mom = cheerful baby!
 
Jiayou everyone! Lets do our best to be happy! Hopefully all the MS symptoms and such will be better once over first tri
 
chubbyfingers (chubbyfingers) : me too, thought of doing so, aiya just puke in train ba

@Joyce: Same, jus now used scope and saw the yolk sac and heartbeat

chubby/kongkong

I have to agree that it is very real esp at this stage. Hormones play a big part to it. So you tend to find yourself more emotional than before. The other reason I believe is tiredness. When you are not getting enough sleep (and for some not eating well) you lack the patience in things and people around you. Lastly, you feel uncertain sub-conciously of what the future holds esp if you are a first-time parent. I find myself more worked-up during my first pregnancy. But this time round I am managing better maybe because I have been through it twice and has a better idea of what's coming and you are more forgiving towards a lot of things after having had a child before. I have to say that a child really makes you a better person in that you tend to be more relaxed about a lot of stuff. I'm sure the other 2nd time mummies here will agree with me. Advice is to try and get lots of rest whenever you can and not worry about everything. Somehow things will fall into place =) Don't bottle up and try to talk to your hubby, mother, best buddy etc.

Let's enjoy/share our downs & ups together

kikismom (kikismom) : im a 2nd time mummy, but perhaps im 1 with negative thinking. i have lots of rest on my off days, but just feel tired too

mayb u r right, the hormones play a part. all i can do now is wait wait wait

thanks for being here for mi
 
Evilicious (evilicious) : oscar scan is via scan or blood test? it hurts?

im so scare wen they poke stuff into our vagina
 
kikismom, thanks for the encouragement. i think u r right on the money.. lack of sleep and many other factors make me feel more emotional right now.. in fact i feel irritated with my MIL (although i cant show it) when she keeps asking me to eat.. few more weeks and hope i will be out of this emo-hell...
 
I think hormones plays a part. I also find myself more sensitive and crazy now. Although I am pregnant now but I have not disclosed to my team yet (only afew close ones in the compnay), I still find it annoying when people gets concern about my "family planning". Today I almost snapped at a colleague at lunch, cos she went babbling about "when are you going to have a baby" "Should have it while you are still below 35" etc etc... That's so annoying! And she is not even an "auntie" or anything, she is just 25yo, why care so much about other people?

Maybe its my character, I hardly question people about "family planning" and maybe when I first graduated, a guy colleague (who is 10 years my senior) taught me that this is a very sensitive topic so I hardly ask people this question, let alone a colleague who is not even close and during lunch...

Anyway, just being emo and feel that I need to rant it out!
 
@kongKong for what I knw, it should be only scanning and also blood test ^^ think I'll opt out the Oscar scan.. Family said not necessary :S
 
Ohoh: Im facing the same scenario as u! I also feel very pissed when people start asking me why I still dont want to start a family/when want to give birth etc! Exactly what has it got to do with them? Are they going to help me with babysitting? Else why keep askin and asking? Sames as you, I dont like to probe others on this topic, who says its a mission to give birth after marriage? Cant a couple enjoy some couple time first before starting a family? Who set the rules that we must procreate the moment wedding is over!?

Just cant get it why some people are so "concern" about other's lives!
 
ohoh: dont b unhappy, ur colleague myb nvr think n blurt it out,,,

perhaps u feel piss off by her shooting, cool down ok?

we r all here for u

I guess I am just being "emo" now. I was perfectly fine yesterday, I have some friends (ex-colleagues) visiting from Japan yesterday and I have known them for more than 8 years, so didn't feel so irritated when one of them asked me during lunch about this topic. In fact, I stopped everyone from eating and saying that I have an annoucement to make and told them that I am pregnant. I guess its really dependent how close you are with the person and its definitely not just a "lunch topic" with anyone!
 
I got back from my TCM. she can't do tui an cos my ankle is red n swollen now. And the rest like acupuncture, oral medicine are not suitable. Can only let it heal by itself.

Then when I reached home, I got spotting. Quickly called clinic, told to rest n go back tomo.

What a day! So please all hang on, all mummies n mummies to be.... Surely u can't be worse than me with a tender ankle n spotting. >_<
 
Take care Pommes.
I can imagine how it feels like, everytime when I go toilet, I am so scare of looking at my panty, in case I see blood...
 
Ohoh and Snowing: When people ask me, I don't find it offensive. I just treat it as another life topic and discuss with people. Like when my uncles and aunties ask during new year, I always tell them I hope to have healthy children, hopefully soon. Then they got nothing to say also already mah. They will understand not everybody one-shot-one-kill right...

The 25 yo, she is probably exploring what life means to herself, and thinking ahead to when she will have children of her own...

I remember at a wedding dinner few months back, this guy I just met at the dinner ask me, so when are you going to have children? At that time Goi and I preparing to start trying soon, so I just tell him we intend to start a family very soon. Turns out he got 3 month old baby, and he was giving me a lot of baby tips, in-laws tips. Quite OK la.

If the person who is asking is very irritating, just bo hew him/her la! Otherwise, treat as chit chat lorh...
 
Pommes: Got at least wrap your ankle up in medication for it to heal? Take care.. great that you get to stay at home and rest also
happy.gif
 
Pommes and Ohoh: As long as not bright red and not too much, should be OK. Brownish discharge could be prolonged implantation bleeding according to my gynae. All the best!
 
Chubbyfingers: Aw.. try taking your mind off the pregnancy. Can get overwhelming with all the fuss.. the gynae visits, the planning that goes on all day in our heads.. Nobody knows how much we can tahan, if we can we can, we can't we can't. Don't bother justifying to the old folks.

Sometimes just switching off the internet helps too just so you don't see anything thats related to baby. My first was like that too.. feeling constantly down because I have never been through it and nobody understood. It does get better I promise as your body undergo some important changes to adjust. Some chocolate will help to keep energy and euphoria levels up.


Meanwhile I am just back from my gynae- Dr Loke Kah Leong, baby is 8 weeks 1 day, edd is 15.12.2012, hospital is TMC, this is my third child
happy.gif
Any can help me with the update or teach me how to update the chart? Cheers.
 
wah kikismom thanks for the kind words, I try my best :D

Angelic Me, if the DHA causes fishy burps, try refrigerating them, taking them before meals, and try a higher quality product with a higher concentration so you don't have to eat so many for the desired dosage. Joyce used to have the same problem but now no more

Hello ! Am new here. In my 9 weeks + and this is my #2.

Hope to learn and share experiences together in this pregnancy journey with you girls.
happy.gif
 
Wow today everyone so emo? That's including me too. My last day is next wed n I managed to borrow or Co's corporate card ( those that can go Singapore attractions for free ) for this weekend. Told my hubby to schedule his work so that we can enjoy the card's benefit but the still put himself on full shift for this weekend n I was super pissed!!!! Guess its also cos of my hormones. Remember when I had #1 n during our first gynae visit, one of the first few things which my gynae told hubby is that to take note of my mood swing. It's not something which we can control n switch off. So they have to be more understanding n bearable with us,

As someone said maybe cos this isy #2, I can better control my temper even though on somedays , I just feel super irritated or down. But at least now I have my #1 to cheer me up. Pregnancy n motherhood has and is always a learning process for us. Even up to now, I m still learning . And of cos thru this journey , we will meet a lot of insensitive n thoughtless ppl. Just ignore them. They r not worth for us to get upset abt. I remembered when I had #1, I was super irritated when my frens (those not so close) or hubby's colleague just walk up n touch my bb bump. But now thinking back, it's quite funny actually. Alot of ppl say u will get bb dust by touch a pregnant woman's tummy. So i take it as doing a good deed n helping them bah.
 
Haha. I wonder who are the people who will start touching me when tummy starts to show. Actually I don't mind people touching but I think out of politeness, the person should at least ask for permission :p

Joyce_lim, I just rather avoid the topic be it people asking me or I ask people. Sometimes people might have unknown problems, it could be it's not that they don't want a baby but have trouble conceiving or sorts, so it can be very annoying or sensitive when people asks. Especially when the question comes from someone whom you are not close to at all. I have a friend who finally conceived recently via IVF and I can imagine how annoying and sensitive when people kept asking about her about "family plans".
