Hi all, hope all have been well.
Had a two weeks bed rest, admitted for drip like skymummy and vomitting still persist. I went back to work yesterday and was struggling. Vomitting came back again and I felt so tired and restless. Just cannot sit in front of the monitor. End up took half a day leave back to rest.
Regarding maternity leave, i just went to view my overall entitlement. Have what I was entitled but no meternity leave. Wonder why this yr was not reflected. I'm also on contract basis and best is my edd and contract end on the same month.
Skymummy, you are not alone. I drank Ribena everyday and whole day too. Must have ice in it. Quite bad right. I told myself I should try to avoid cold drinks but cant do it.
Anyone is in the Aug mummies FB page ? Can someone help to add me in ? My email is [email protected] Thanks !

Hi I am taking less water than normal now due to nausea and vomiting. Will it affect bb? Should I be concerned? In what situation we need to be on drip?
Amanda: nope...i never tell her to get the position but baby position seems like it leh...cos the sonographer is complainting that baby not cooperative...she try and try to get different pictures of baby..so i also dont dare to request too much...
I went to Radlink @ paragon...hoepfully my next scan can shows it all

Hello Mummies,
For all who are on bed rest like me, just endure! I have been on bed rest for 1.5 mths now. Finally during yday's check gynae says everything is great. I didn't need any injection and can cut down on the number times I take my duphaston gradually. So hubby and I are very happy. Gynae also gave approval to go out during CNY!
Just take this time to rest as much as you can. I watched dramas, movies online.
My advise is to minimize movements and if u have to walk, walk slowly because the more movements we make, it disturbs the uterus. My friend who is a nurse also advised, if possible, sit on a chair to bathe don't stand.
I hope bedrest will be lifted for all of you soon! Hang in there!,

Simplygreen,my gynea told me to drink whatever I like. So mainly my drinks now are ribena, glucose and Milo. Just stay hydrated. I was put on drip as my lips were all pale and dry from the throwing up. Whatever I intake will just Come out. Colour of your tongue can show as well. Hope u r better soon.
Amanda and bubbly29: Thanks! Haaaa just sticked to here.

Hi ladies,
Have not been commenting but did follow most posts almost every day
I am 9 weeks plus as of today.
Had our company's potluck lunch today so I had fried laksa, fried rice, roasted chicken, pasta, fruits and cakes but all in small bites. No appetite to eat the chicken wing and pasta so I passed it to my colleague who doesn't mind
So far, I had only told our parents, 2 close friends and 3 closer colleagues. Intend to tell my immediate boss later but he is always busy. Still thinking how to go about telling him in a fast yet discrete way...

melilone: for me, my gynae has a package which includes most things except oscar + some other more expensive tests. so for those, they are all optional and he will check w us if we want to do it. maybe you check with your gynae if he/she has a package?
ttcing: haha tell him, boss, i have one good news and one bad news.. good news: i'm pregnant. bad news: i will be away for 4 months end of the year! anyway i didnt have that problem cos i was on 7days HL beginning of the year so when i went back to submit mc i just "updated" my boss on my situation lor. my boss and many colleagues are mothers themselves so when they hear 7 days HL they also linked to pregnancy already..
For lunch i had rice w curry fish, fried salad prawns and stir fried long beans, and a big bunch of grapes!

Amanda: Thanks for your suggestion
I will try that and see how. My boss is still not here yet though....hmmm....
Btw, not sure if any of you MTBs here experience this situation like me:
According to my LMP, I should be 10 weeks but gynae scanned me and said that I am only 9w2d as of today. His u/scan machine also does not indicate any EDD on it. So does it mean that my baby is growing slower than it should be? Gynae said all was fine though, as of last Thursday at 8w4d.

diorly: yes, and i think im going to get very fat from all that eating! my husband says that he can no longer supplement his meals w my leftovers cos nowadays i hardly have leftovers at all! but it depends lah. most days i can eat quite a lot. but some days i get the bland taste in my mouth and cannot eat at all. cos everything tastes equally yucky and bland.
Let them know one by one tats wat i intend to do cos have not 12 weeks so still trying to keep my mouth shut, haha but some of them have guessed it, thanks to one stupid photo, make my tummy look so big..... *argh*
So i guess most gyne will be alright with that ya? then how abt the the one in paragon will it be weird just to see them for one or two scan?

I cutdown on ribena drink. As one of the mummy say it causes loose stool. My tummy have been "stirring". Now back to the yucky plain drink. What else can I do.
Diorly. I also have the phlegm problem. ESP after late afternoon. It will stick with me till nite time.
Anyone had breathing difficulty. Don know why lately I can't lie down to slp. Find it hard to breathe. End up I sit u till I doze off.
I thot only last trimester when bb is big den will have such problem.

Zhaqqie, tell ur reporting officer direct first then ur boss ? Am lucky that both my director and reporting officer are quite understanding.
Amanda, should be normal ? I have it too. Breathless and panting. Am waiting for me to enter 2nd trimester before I go to my tcm to see what can be done.

Hihi! Seems like few of us start to get our appetite back!
I had strong cravings for Mee Siam (Toast box's version) tdy. So took LRT then MRT to the nearest mall just to satisfy my craving
Now I feel very tired. Craving for tdy satisfied but I still feel like eating more Mee Siam!
I've been having headache lately. Maybe I'm dehydrated plus I can't sleep well at night. Keep going to toilet....

sinplyme - im not doing oscar and the blood test
we opted out for number one and also same for number two. reason being we wouldnt consider abortion either way and also its not 100% full proof also. Ive got friends who have scanned and found out baby is abnormal, but during delivery baby turned out normal! so they were worried for several months during their pregnancy... its v worrying one!
im still nauseating though. Bens and Jerry's choc ice cream is good at keeping my nausea at bay though. duno why. ribena is ok for me so far. and im just snacking through my meals. sometimes i will throw, sometimes not. haiz. i wish there'll be no more nausea!!!!! im 11 weeks 1 day today!
breathless n panting could b heartburn tat was caused by the xtra acid that we r producin. that wat my gynea explain durin my last visit.
i keep cravin for kfc... but the tot of the oil make me lose appetite! so til now, hv not eaten!! lol
my gal broke my heart yesterday. suddenly ask me, "Mommy, why ur tummy so big?"..... stab in the heart..... sigh.....

Poky, after I see your post I start to crave for Popeyes! I find it less oily than kfc. And the strange thing is I used to love eating drumsticks n thigh area coz more tender. Now I only like the chewy breast meat.
Have u told your girl got sibling on the way?
My girl so young, tell her she also duno. I'm quite worried how she will cope with childcare & sibling's arrival at same time.
My mum says my tummy looks like just given birth haven't slim down. Flabby! Sianz. Have to find doll dress for CNY to hide it!

skymummy, i also have to sleep inclined since beginning of pregnancy.. it seems to aid digestion better and i dun feel nauseous before sleeping. side effect is sore neck like these few days cos i fell asleep watching tv too..
usaginoko and poky, yar i got craving for kfc too.. the new dunno wat set, got one drumstick and one fish burger in a box one.. after watching the repeated advertisements on tv recently. And my boy is opposite of ur gals.. heheh.. he is older and he understands, except he doesn't understand why it takes SO long to for our sweetie pies to bake inside tummy and can't play with him any sooner, so he ask me a different question "why bb not out yet?" i realised i put on 10 kg since 5 yrs ago when i had my boy and never lost it.. this round will have like 15-20 kg to lose.. sigh
i just got some maternity wear from spring cos really dun feel like squeezing into normal pants anymore, have to keep zipping up and down when i sit or stand. spring is giving this really sweet patterned cloth bag too.. hehe. Tops i really dun feel like getting from maternity wear shops cos not so trendy.. so i think i'll go places like cotton on, top shop, dorothy perkins..
wlilian, this round mine also not cooperative. its a very quiet passive bb.. i think didn't move at all throughout my first scan.. even when sonographer press like mad, also like that. my colleague said hers also. im not quite used to seeing this as my previous ones were pretty bubbly and active inside. But i guess every bb is different.. and as long as healthy can already!

for those who have stomach discomfort/acid reflux, you can sleep on your left side - is known to be better due to how the stomach is shaped and positioned etc.

hahaha.. looks like kfc will get good biz these few wks from us.
diorly, my cravings are so random i cannot figure what i want to eat exactly until i get really hungry. i tend to eat more healthy which is good, e.g. soupy hot stuff. i totally avoid fried stuff and chips, which was my daily staple prior to pregnancy. i sure do hope we are becoming healthier!
