Can someone share the exact feeling of MS? I know this sounds a bit silly, haha, but I seriously do not know if I a really experiencing it :)
I do get nauseous especially when I have this sourish feeling in my gastric. Takes place usually in the evening for me. So far no actual merlion yet.

different mamas get diff ms feelings. for me, i also never merlion but got something stuck at the back of my throat in the afternoon...but i found out that after eating, it goes away...
 
Thanks fifteenmay for ur response ;)Must be a really trying time for u w the terrible 2 kid. My nephew is also ard that age, and sometimes he will cry and cry for no particular reason, very sticky to my SIL and will cry non stop until he gets his mum. Pray that ur little one will become more angelic as she senses the little sister/brother joining the family :)

Hi! Same here, I'm also in my 6th week, and for the past week I also have been having gastric pains quite frequently esp when I'm sleeping at night. Not too sure if its ok. At first I relate to the spicy food that I took during the day, since the pains didn't get too serious I didn't think much of it.

Previously someone also mentioned about being breathless easily. I was just making a 10 mins phonecall and I find myself having difficulty catching my breath and it felt so xinku

welcome! is it gastric pains or a slight tugging? if its tugging feeling, then it may be your muscle or uterus stretching out. if it is gastric pains, try to eat small frequent meals to avoid gastric.
 
Hello and congrats to new mummies to be!! Happy to see more joining the aug grp!

my ms is getting quite bad since last week. I am constantly feeling reallyyy hungry yet feel like puking at the same time. :/

Cant wait for my first gynae appt tml :)

I just called my CL who did for me the last round to book her first. Her rate is $2.4k. I used her again cos she is very gd with baby and cook very well. She got 19yrs experience. And she is very clean. On top of the confinement food she cooked. Every night she will double boiled tonic soup for me also.. I realized not many CL do that. And I going do 6wk confinement this round.

If anyone want CL, can let me know. I can ask her to check if her "CL sisters" are avail anot.

Hi all, congrats and welcome all new mummies!

My MS started from 6 wks (this week) and it's killing me! The moment I wake up I start feeling The queasiness and have to eat sth to feel better but today even after eating it didn't Help and when in Office I had major headache coupled with The nausea, it was terrible! Subsided in The afternoon when I could finally smile. finished work dabao dinner now still feeling OK. (Fingers crossed it don't come back for The night!)

1St pregnancy, am very excited and happy but The ms is killing every happy feeling I have omg. Can't wait for The ms symptoms to subside and get to 3mths! Going Taiwan from 1-6jan, hoping the ms won't be jialat If not can't enjoy myself! Stomach bloating also damn jialat my stomach look like 4/5 mths see liao very sad. :(

Anyway, jiayou everyone! :)
 
Just sharing....

My first pregnancy and going through all the MS. But very bad, I dont have good support from workplace.
My boss is a single lady (going to get married soon but work comes first type). She does not understand what is family first and what pregnant ladies are going through.... she thought that MS will only come after 3months so she's not that happy i took sick leave :'(

Cheer up, yingz. It may be demoralizing but must think of the positive side :)
Happy mummy = happy baby
Don't think about the unhappy things anymore. If you are really unwell, u hv to take sick leave so that u hv time to rest. I think this is more impt.

hi all,

i'm a new mtb...juz tested positive recently..am in a super confused stage now as i don't know what i should be expecting!
i guess my first priority is to find a gynae now? i have super low trashold for pain...if i want still want a natural birth (definitely with epi), anyone can recommend me a good gynae?

or can you gals share which gynae you are with now and why you choose him/her?
Click to expand...
Congrats new mummy! My gynae is Dr Lawrence Ang for my #1 and will going back to see him also for my this 2nd. I go to him when I pregnant with my #1 just because his clinic is in walking distance from my house. After that I just knew he was voted as top 1 Gynae in Singapore by Asianparent mag. His fee was cheaper but yet he is skillful. I had C-section and didn't feel any pain during and after delivery. His stitching skill is good. But be prepare to wait for 1 hour or above even you have made appointment because he have too many patients.

I heard some say banana is not good for pregnant woman. But don't know it is true or not..
 
My mil say the del monte bananas are very cooling for baby. But I don't believe it lah...I still eats them. But cutting down as its starchy and I don't wana gain too much weight at this point. Bananas are rich in vit b. Helps in MS.

Yes these bananas are too cooling. If u r body cannot take it then not so good for bb.
 
Can take those bananas that is sold in markets.

I think for work wise, boss play an impt role. If the boss is non understanding & do not stand by his staff, stop wasting time working for such bosses cos you will never get promoted or get good salary at the end of the day. Leave when opportunity comes.

For mommies who are working for shitty bosses, my strongest advice is to hang on & deliver your child, and get all the benefits you deserve. Then get a new job & leave the shitty boss/place. If your looking co is good but boss is shitty, trsf out!

Hello congrats!
I'm a new mummy too... 6 weeks plus and cannot get hungry~~~ when I get hungry I want to vomit... Haiz...
 
I get hungry easily too. I snack on fruits or nuts during non-meal times. Try to avoid junk food.

I think you can check out the hospital websites. The package details should be available there. You can sign up for the maternity ward tour too. Most likely should be choosing Mt A.
 
Hello!! I'm new to this forum.. Expecting my 2nd bb in August.. :) Just to share that i delivered at KK prev, total hospital bill was $1.3k.. I think its quite cheap considering I took epidural & stayed at A1 ward, the service was excellent so I should be going there again this time.. :)

wow, that's cheap! mine came close to $10k for emergency c-sect, 3N single ward @ mt A. but most prob going back mt A since my gynae only delivers at TMC & mt A.
