Hi Good Morning..
It is really nice to see an active chat here. I was on mummysg and the thread is not as active as this here.
Let me introduce myself.
1) My EDD is 7th Jan 2013
2) I am into my 7wks+ of pregnancy.
3) I am staying at Punggol Vista (saw alot of punggol mummies here)
4) I was vomitting last wk after every meal. No major discomfort juz vomitting after every meal and i will be fine. Each time i vomit, i know my baby is growing. However, i stopped vomitting for 3days. No sign of MS and discomfort now.. so am very worried.
5) went for gynae scan last wk (wk6) and managed to hear my baby's heart beat. My baby is very small only 4.44mm @ 6wks. Its a bit worrying but gynae say as long as he/she continue to grow will be fine. What is the size of baby at wk6?
Hope to join in your conversations.
Thanks!

<font color="aa00aa">Missy/Btmy, welcome to the thread!
Missy, we did talk abt MS previously. You will have to find out what causes you to want to puke. Like could it be cos too oily? Or u had too much. For gals who have MS, the advice is to eat little but frequent meals (yah it's almost like eating all the time), instead of the usual portion we have. Some gals here recommend ginger tea & ginger slices. For me, I just tahan a bit and it will usually go away.
btmy, agree with fatbobo. Don't worry ya... the ultrasound scan is usually just an estimate of the size. I remember during my first preg that my EDD based on LMP was earlier than the EDD estimated based on scans. i.e. the scan saw a smaller than expected of the week I was supposed to be. </font>

Good morning ladies !!! TGIF! Yeah!
Question: saw it somewhere that someone was asking whether can go dentist now? I have been doing teeth whitening for the past 1 mth, not too sure if I can continue putting the gel with retainer in my mouth for a few hrs, any advise?

<font color="aa00aa">canopy, it is better not to, cos the active ingredients are peroxide? But u can call the dentist to ask. The reason being that our gums get sensitive during the pregnancy and they bleed/get sore easily...

missy,
cramp only? any discharge? previously we are discussing that cramp & norm tummy ache muscles are actually same. so hard to tell is cramp or norm pain... as long as no discharge still not so worrying. of cos best to check w dr if u r worried.
for me is I feel cramp but in fact is constipation (which = norm pain). I rmb someone else is the opposite, i.e. diarrhea

<font color="aa00aa">missy, for me. I did get cramps on and off. But they are not serious and go away quite easily. sometimes I get it confused with my tummy ache... ;p
Cramps can be an indication of the uterus growing to house the new baby... but it can also be contractions. We can't tell, so it's btr to ask the gynae.
Personal experience, early this week my cramps came with spotting, so I chiong down to the gynae from work. if yours come on for an entire day but ok the next few days, do tell ur gynae about it during the next visit.
but if cramps come tog with pink/red spotting/bleeding, do see ur gynae immediately.</font>

<font color="aa00aa">josky, the diarrhea is me lah... we were discussing abt the muscle group mah... ;p
i also felt very weak yesterday. it's like all of a sudden, I was shivering on my work desk.
Re: Fainting spells - I read somewhere that this is normal as our blood vessels dilate to send more blood to the uterus to help the growing baby. So if u are getting up from bed or chair, do it slowly. I notice that if I get up too quickly, i will feel like blacking out and the next moment when I steady myself, I can hear my heart pounding at my ears...</font>

<font color="#49729C">re: cramps / pulling feeling
it's due to the womb expanding.. it's natural that we will feel some cramps....or like pulling sensation. but of cos, if the cramp is too intense (n like some said..comes with spotting)..i wld be a better idea to at least give your ob-gynae a call to ask if u shld go dwn.
re: rebond / perm / color
previously some mummies i know got clearance frm their ob-gynae... but, you prolly need to let the stylist know that you're expecting, and do not treat till the root part. but this oso means u hfta return aft a short while to redo. </font>

</font><font color="aa00aa">allyfan, yup. so far still ok... hopefully it stays that way. feeling nauseated every morning and so very frequently. but compared to u gals who puke, I think I gotta count my lucky stars!!!
re: rebond/perm/color
Eh I remember that as long as the liquid dun touch the scalp is actually ok. cos when touch scalp, it will be absorbed into our body. then it may cross into the placenta. But placenta is not formed until week 8 to 10?
ally ur whitening products is referring to skin products uh? or u referring to bleech?
josky, they say pregnant woman's brain will shrink de leh. haha... anyway I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U, i love the "what to expect" iphone app!</font>

Mummies who is suffering from MS & cramps, hope you all are feeling better. I'm still the same, no appetite to eat, I feel sick whenever I see food. Worst of all, I am having constipation! Can't wait for my Gynae appt next week. Gynae told me the more sick I am the better, cos proofs that foetus is growing well *faint*

Tres, I am 34 and like u too. cant imagine being a mummy below 30. Got married two years back, and despite the whole world chasing us for babies, we took our own sweet time and do the things we must do before family set up.
Hair coloring:
my gyanae oso tod me no hair treatment stuff, so I had it colored back to natural color 1 month prior TCC.
As I am in Shanghai, I read those Chinese Pregnancy books that tell you No whitening products to be used on the face/body. Gosh, I cant't live without my whitening serum and masks.
Moreover, I am sure our melanin will shoot up, if dun continue or start whitening now, our face may kenna Ugly dark spots in months or weeks to come. Anyone agree w me?
Tigress: no hearing of closed group in FB. Maybe u wanna start?

ally for skincare, my gynae says as long as it is apply n skin, not retinol and AHA it should be fine!
mummies must still maintain your looks and dress up, dun forget you still have 1 'big baby' to impress wor!

<font color="aa00aa">allyfan, you remind me to go ask my facial place about the products man. using dermelogica now and wanna see what I can and cannot use. ;p ur friends are sooooo cute de lor. i was thinking of snipping off my hair (short short) after a wedding...
celia, during my first pregnancy I never left home without slapping on sun-screen. So scared of the spots so applied SPF40 every morning. Instead of whitening stuff, do the preventive instead - put sunscreen?
l3x, was reading some online stuff and they do recommend that we go to clean our teeth at dentist! But I think most dentist rather not do in case of the "bleedy gums" and kena complain aft that... ;p
canny, it's normal not to have MS/ pukey feeling de. I was like that during my first preggy! The feeling was fabulous so enjoy it la and dun worry about the norm (cos trust me u dun wan to join the norm!). </font>

<font color="aa00aa">Tres, thanks for the clarification. Retinol is usually found in medications... AHA is a peeling agent. I know there is a range in Dermelogica which has some type of peeling agent (didn't use cos it caused me to get breakouts)... so the rest of my products should be fine</font>

snowhopes, I am using SPF50 everyday for the past 15 years haha. so maybe will reduce the amount of whitening products but cannot totally remove from my beauty regime...
Btw, wanna ask any MTBs here start using Stretch mark cream or oil already? I intend to start using the clarins duo (so highly raved by all my experienced preggie gfs) after I end my 1st trimester. I just got a small bottle of Bio-oil and start applying on my boobs and lower back. Not my tummy though. I am 6 weeks + and kiasu... haha..

My Gynae is very funny, I asked him about stretch mark cream. He asked me "Do you know why are they so many different brands of stretchmark cream in the market? That is because none of them works!" He told me using olive oil is good enough, whether you have stretch mark or not, it's all in the genes. But he did mention before that cocoa butter may cause irritation to the skin, so better don't use.
I didn't use any stretchmark cream for my #1, only baby lotion and baby oil, and I didn't have any stretch marks. Hopefully, I don't get it for #2.

Re: Cramps
jo: yup only cramps. no discharge yet. i don't have constipate or diahorrea now.
snowhopes: my cramps also come and goes. like period cramps haha. sometimes left, sometimes right some times center.
Re: rebonding / hair colouring
i think it's not advisable to do any chemical treatment to the hair right now. best to wait till 9 months later. for the sake of bb. i'm also tempted to get my gel nails done! haha
Re: facial
can go facial? i'm suppose to go for my facial appt next month.

yup, clarins oil. must use together w their stretch mark cream, my gfs swore. Its funny many drs will tell us stretch marks creams dun work or just use normal moisturiser will suffice. I have friends who use cheapies and claim don't work, eg palmers etc. I think I better not take chancee and invest in a 'proven' product/s.
Tigress, so lucky for you to use just baby oil n cream products to escape stretch marks..

<font color="aa00aa">Josky, for my first preg. I only used the Clarins oil (no cream) and I did not have any marks. Whether it prevent marks or not is hard to say but I use it cos when we get bigger, the skin gets tight and itchy, the oil gives the relief!
So far I only recommend the oil to my friends and all so far ok.

Jo, actually I am not sure, but accordingly to what my preggies friends said - must use both to get max effect. Can be really expensive though....
