Bubbly, what I took when I couldn't take plain water was Ribena, but I'm scared of diabetes too so I made it very very diluted. To the extent that it tasted more sour than sweet. Maybe you can try that. At least it takes away the bland taste of water and won't be too sweet.
Anyways my appetite comes and goes. I'm having curry fish head for dinner now!!

Bubbly, i have got headache these few days too.. i rarely get headache, i think its hormone related. i also dislike the taste of water! sigh! prefer drinks like milo, horlicks, ribena, ..
My appetite still comes and goes too, but seems like better... :X
Finally the wk for my first appt has come..i can't wait, hopefully will be a happy day for me after that

Hi all! I've been feeling bloated and nauseated all day long. The uneasy feeling puts me in a grumpy mood all the time. I also can't really drink water. Have been sucking on sweets the past few hours. Seems to help.
I bought all my CNY clothes already... All from ASOS maternity. I'm also starting to wear my maternity clothes! It looks baggy but still can wear cos the bloatedness is giving me a big tummy... I think I look 4 mths pregnant.

Haha princessgx, I also bought from asos maternity... They're having sale now so prices are good! Waiting for shipment to arrive by the 25th. Hope the size fits! I can't really wear my pants / skirts now..tummy will feel uncomfortable so I try to go for loose dresses or empire cut too. And yes the bloatedness makes my tummy look big at times too!

It's ok! Some ppl don't have MS also have beautiful bb
some ppl will have nausea then stop n then come back for a few days
eat while you can!
bubbly: don't worry~ it's not true that everyone must feel nauseous in 1st trimester... i don't really have MS too, only felt nauseous for a few days around week 5 - it came suddenly and it went off suddenly~ my sis-in-law didn't have MS at all for both her pregnancies.
anna: do take care! rest well for now~
diorly: i read that ham can eat so long as it is cooked~

anna: take care and have more bed rest while you can!
bubbly: i only vomitted very badly for a day in my 5th week and never vomitted anymore subsequently. i didnt get much nausea too. my pregnancy fatigue, which was very bad in my 5th to early 6th week, somewhat disappeared somewhere along my 6th week and i felt worried too although i still have bloatedness. but my mind was set to ease when i visited gynae on Sat and heard baby's heartbeats.
so don't worry too much! sometimes it's just the body adjusting i guess?
i'm starting on my 7th week now and feeling quite normal except for bloatedness after meals. sometimes i have loss of appetite too, like i wanted to eat a certain thing but when its in front of me and i take a bite, my tastebuds / tummy just dont agree and i can't stomach that food. its strange and i seem to have lost control over what i want to eat or not. haha.

if we have seen the bb heartbeat, does it mean it is more or less stable?
I read somewhere tat peak of MS is btw wk 6-8 then will gradually subside, but some mums have it thru 2nd tri. Some mums no MS at all. My nausea is gone. Cross fingers it doesn't come back!
Regarding maternity wear, I've seen nice ones on qoo10 but duno quality ok or not. For my 1st preg, I bgt normal clothings with loose cutting, stretchable empire cut dresses, tube top dresses. Wore normal but bigger sized leggings but below tummy coz felt uncomfy with waistband around my tummy. My SIL used jeans waistband extension until her tummy too big for it.

Amanda: it's normal to have cravings then dun feel like eating it when it's in front of u! Tats wat happened during #1 time. My hb end up finish all my cravings. This round I dun have cravings or appetite even tho stomach growling. Luckily it's better now n I can eat more but still have to watch my portion otherwise will feel bloated.
Joyful: can see heartbeat means stable for now. But I'm worried at every visit whether still got heartbeat or not. Coz I've heard of cases heartbeat gone at wk 20. Very sad. It's 37-40wks of worry till bb safely in our hands.

Ellen: you wouldn't want to know. I freaked out after reading it.
Shall save you from the scare.
Amanda: Thanks for sharing! Yup, do hope and pray that all is fine and that the body is adjusting!
On Maternity Wear, I bought some from qoo10 but the quality is a bit disappointing so I think it is better to buy from maternity shops. I know that Spring maternity has discounts going at 20% to 70%.

usaginoko/Amanda: when i saw gynae at 8 weeks, she said strong heartbeat = 98% ~ anyway strong heartbeat means bb is doing well~
Bubbly/Amanda: i think we really need to read online materials with discernment.... :/
on maternity wear, i really have headache on how to choose pants... no experience at all and dunno what is going to be more comfortable/suitable~

Haha Ellen I know what you mean about the pants. That's why I haven't bought any as yet! Maybe you go and try some at the physical maternity shops then at least you will have a sense. I'm wearing drawstring pants / yoga pants which are more loose during weekends now, if not then leggings and a top. Haha.
Usaginoko: thanks for the reassurance ! I was feeling quite bad for wasting food or stuffing my Hb w food I decided that I didn't like after all.

wlilian: Im doing my OSCAR on 21/1 too. 9am at TMC. Frankly speaking, I cannot really remember what they did exactly for my #1. Haha. All I know is that they would do a scan and a blood test. For my #1, my husband had to do a blood test too, but Im not too sure whats that for though. So, I did a search on the internet. This is what i got from BabyCenter.
Nuchal translucency is a collection of fluid under the skin at the back of a baby's neck. It can be measured using ultrasound when your baby is between 11 and 13 weeks and 6 days old. All babies have some fluid, but many babies with Down's syndrome have an increased amount.
The NT scan can't tell for certain whether your baby is affected. However, it can help you decide whether or not to have a diagnostic test.
The blood test measures:
•free beta- hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin)
•PAPP-A (pregnancy associated plasma protein A)
A woman who is carrying a baby with Down's syndrome will have abnormal levels of these two substances in her blood.
I hope this helps!
