Hi ladies,

Anyone not eating well and still gaining weight? I seem to have problem with weight gain.. Cos I gain a lot during 1st trimester.. So after heading into 2nd trimester my weight didn't go up or down.. It's always plus minus 500g to 1kg..

But u feel so fat! I wonder if it's the water weight that is causing the water gain... I one day only eat 1 or 2 meals. I don't snack.. Just seeing my butt n thigh gets bigger.. Hate seeing myself in the mirror now other than looking at the baby bump makes me happy only.. :(

If you don't gain enough weight, some Gynae will ask u to try and gain weight. I have this gf who was asked to gain at least 7kg before she hit 3rd trimester coz she's not gaining enough and baby seems small...

Maybe you r like my friend ba. She was hospitalized for dehydration due to excessive vomiting. She can vomit up to 10 over times a day. So hers is really no choice but die die have to somehow gain weight.

i can understand....i had morning sickness during my first trimester but still gained 4kg! because the only way to stop feeling nauseous all the time was to keep eating!
My morning sickness has stopped, though...

Wah... Vomit until go hospital is very serious.. Cos I am short so I cannot gain too much.. My weight was at border line when I was pregnant.. So now gain Liao become over weight.. But my doc didn't say much.. Only ask me don't gain weight too fast during 2nd trimester..

So I'm controlling as well.. But I think now I no need control my diet.. Cos I not eating well.. But weight keep going up.. My doc also ask me why like tat.. I also question marks...lol

Ya! I throw up alrdy awhile later I feel hungry then eat.. Eat alrdy I can feel super slpy.. Then end up slping.. So I guess even when I eat little but metabolism rate slow down also will gain weight... :(

Tot faster faster have children before I am too old... It's very tiring chasing after a walking toddler... Even with a helper around... Plus I have 2 dogs so it's like 3 children running around the house...

I went both maldives n boracay. Boracay definitely doesnt lose out :) both r amazing but in maldives u can spot shooting stars at night. The sky is as amazing as the sea!

Nice. But it's the transit and I heard have to take don't know what boat etc to boracay. Haha that's why we chose Maldives over boracay.

Next time will try boracay! Sounds very good.

Yes it was a disaster going to boracay but I think recently there is direct flight. That time I went it was really disastrous but the experience there itself redeemed everything after that.

My stupid travel agent actually booked connecting flight too tight n I missed my connecting flight. I had to purchase on the spot another flight to another airport n take coach to the jetty in the middle of the night!

Stupid travel agent refuse to compensate but insurer did. Itz so minimal it doesnt help the trauma I went through lor.
The angry thing is I specifically highlight to agent that the timing is too tight n ask her confirm itz walking distance yo connect flight. She said ya 10min. But itz not lor. Must take bus to another terminal!

Is it unnecessary to take folic acid (5mg) at this stage already? The clinic assistant told me i can stop taking folic acid as the mulitvit pill has folate already but i went home and saw the content is only 0.25mg.. is this sufficient?

Extra folic not required by the body will pass out of the system... Currently I am on 5mg though...

Sometimes taking too much of vitamins will cause constipation, because it will be too "heaty". Esp when we do not consume enough fruits and vegetables. Constipation will lead to piles too during pregnancy. I had constipation and piles during my 2nd pregnancy. It feels very bad esp constipation. Therefore, taking one type of vitamins shd be sufficient. Most importantly is to try to have a balance and healthy meal. It tops all vitamins. As long as the mummy is happy and worry free the baby will be healthy and fine. Dun worry too much =)

Sorry to hear about ur loss.. Must take good care of yourself and do a proper confinement and be well again soon..

I understand the feeling of loss.. I had been thru twice.. It's difficult to accept the fact that one moment doc could tell u bb is well and fine and suddenly we loss it...it took me awhile to overcome the phobia..even for my current preggy I get panick attacks everyday.. must take care.. *hugs*
