Hi ladies,
Long time never post here cos' I've been feeling terrible from MS. I'm only 7wks+ but I feel like it's been sooo long. MS started from about 5wk+. This is my #3, and for every subsequent pregnancy, my MS gets worse. For #1, only feel nauseous, won't vomit. For #2, will vomit but once in a while. For #3, vomit almost everyday! It was so bad that I lost 2kg in 1 week -- ended up having to get medication (Maxalon) from my gynae. With the medication it's better. At least I can eat and keep some food down, so I managed to put back 1kg.
During my 1st gynae visit, I only managed to see gestational and yolk sac, cannot see bb. So gynae said to come back in one week's time -- by then, must see bb, if not no good. Thankfully after 1 week, managed to see bb and bb's heartbeat too! Phew!
Have scheduled my oscar and DS blood test has during my 12th week. And yes, folic acid is alot cheaper at Unity pharmacy. For my #1, I didn't know so I always got my supplies from my gynae, whih is around $3.50 for 30 tablets. For my #2, I learnt about unity's pricing so since then, I've gotten my folic acid from unity. Actually, it's ok to continue taking folic acid even past your 1st trimester. So if you have excess, you can continue taking it until your supply finishes. No worries about "over dosage" -- I checked with my gynae on this already.
