did you try drinking some juice? i am taking small cups of orange juice daily especially in the late afternoon when nausea gets worse.. sometimes even a few sips at night before i sleep helps me greatly.

Ya he is super nice n caring! U blend e juices yourself? I drink half a glass of anmum milk with some oats before i go to zzz..

no lah! i bought the peel fresh OJ. lazy to juice it myself. :p

hubby and i both like dr yam very much! he really saved us a lot of money when i went into preterm labour with my #2. was warded at Mt A under his care and was going to pop anytime soon. he came over to visit and recommended that i discharge from Mt A asap and go NUH as a class C patient instead, because NICU fees at Mt A would have cost me minimum $1000 per day.

my girl stayed in the NUH NICU for 6 weeks, means minimum $42,000 if we had stayed on in Mt A. ended up, we cleared all medical fees at NUH using medisave and only paid cash of less than $20. that's why we think this gynae is worth returning to.. he could have told us to stay on and earn additional delivery + visitation fees from us but he did not. if not for him, i think hubby and i would still be paying for the $42,000.
 
Wah!!!! Really alot diff leh! So nice of him loh.. hard to come by such good gynae. My cousin in law rec me to him cos she works in pharmaceutical line n john yam was her client. Was seeing peter chew previously before i got preg. Vry ex n waiting time too long.

Star mommy, how is his waiting time to see doc?
 
momocrv, usually on the dot. if my appointment is at 12.30pm, i usually get to see him at 12.30pm on the dot. the most wait another 5 to 10 mins.
 
Hi.. Any ladies consuming chia seed at the stage?? I used to eat before preggy.. It's a super food.. Went online n check it says is safe n just eat with moderate n drink lots of water..
 
Yesss @lady_chris, me! I put a bunch of them into my daily glass of soya bean. Now I'm wondering if coconut water is ok to drink. Heard from a few well-meaning aunties that we should avoid it in the first trimester. Googled a bit to check validity but couldn't find a good answer.

Btw, I took a pregnancy test again just to double confirm that I'm still pregnant cos I don't have any symptoms at all! Feel v lucky abt it but slightly worried at the same time (anyone feelin' me?) haha. But thank god those two lines popped up again!
 
starrymommy said:
ikuko_28, with my #1, i experienced this weird rash all over my face around 4 weeks pregnant. tiny red bumps in patches all over. really very unsightly. and that happened during the CNY also. imagine i had to do visitations during that time. really looked horrible. lasted for about a week. hope yours will subside soon. just apply gentle eczema cream over the spots/rash.
Click to expand...
Yah...really quite unsightly...skin suddenly feel very coarse and red. Haiz..wonder where's that supposed mummy's pregnancy glow. But today, the itch suddenly went off..hope it's for good.
 
B0mbie said:
Hi ikuko_28, talking about beer... I drink quite a fair bit before I'm tested positive but have since stopped. It's tough to give up all my fav beverages but I guess it's the power of mother's love. I never knew I could do it until now

You will soon also realize that you can do a lot more when you become a mum..haha, like going through labor pain, eating the stuff you hate but cause it's good for the baby, multi tasking, skipped all dramas just because tv is bad for kids etc etc.

Hi littleladybug, thanks for the reply.. Than I can consume in a peace of mind.. Eh i think u shld avoid coconut water for now. Only drink it till last trimester.. Too "cold" for ur body now..

Actually I am like u too.. Will test every two days to see if the two lines is still there.. :p coz I have yet to scan and wanna ensure I am still preggy.. :D but I use pregnancy strip instead of kit.. Too ex to test this way.. Actually I just got my blood test result today.. Bb hormone is doing good but not mine so trying to see any food to boost my hormone level.. So hopefully chia Seed will do some good to me.. Btw how many weeks are you?? Edd date,? :)
 
I think you are just lucky not to have any m/s.. I have colleague who is the same as u.. Guess ur body is really strong!! That good..!!
 
Hahahaha yup I use the strips too. So cheap buy from qoo10! I'm abt 7 weeks, due 17 may :)

My friends keep saying that if you have a hard 1st trim, things will be smooth towards the end. So how liddat.

I totally feel u girls! I'm also testing every 2 days to make sure there are 2 lines. Using strips as well, so cheap and I have about 20 more at home, why not? I don't have much symptoms too and that gets me paranoid.

I was previously considering john yam.. But his has no package right.. Work out to be quite ex for me..

I'm also pretty much like you.. Just more fatigue.. Today saw the doc and bb seems growing well.. So just count ourselves lucky..
 
I'm also having mild cramps on and off. Read online it's becos uterus stretching to make room for growing beanie. Taking it as a good sign!
 
booy, dr john yam has package for week 14 (if my pregger brains remember correctly) onward is $880. works out to be quite reasonable. delivery fee is $1800 onwards.

I was a POAS (pee on a stick) addict! tested daily till i got the positive line and tested some more to make sure line darkened. :) even though 3rd pregnancy but i feel like a first-timer all over again. :p

i can't take chia seed. tried once and body went into shock. had heart palpitations, cold sweat, tremors and body was super weak and i couldn't move for like 15 minutes. realized that eating this drastically reduced my blood sugar level. don't know why it affected me so badly. don't dare to take liao. some of my colleagues are taking it with no negative side effects though.

Wah... yes. Chia seed reduce high blood pressure... maybe u are allergic to it....
 
Hi Starrymommy, Wah didn't know the side effect is Sooo serious... Ya true.. Super food is not meant for everyone... Thanks for sharing.. :)
 
lady_chris, i think it's just me. no one else i know who takes chia seeds experienced this!

anyway, what's for dinner? i am craving fried chicken wings. wanna fry some later. :p
 
Hi Mom to be, I am currently 4-5 weeks pregnant. Tested earlier this week through blood test, and went to a normal GP and did the blood test and confirmed that I'm pregnant.

I'm truly glad and happy to see fellow mummies to be here with me.

I have not seen a gynae yet but an appointment has been made to see a gynae around 6-7 weeks timing.

However, other than sore breasts and nipples along with mild cramps every now and then, I do not experience any other symptons.

I read that experiencing nausea is part and parcel and it is a good indication of a good pregnancy, but I am not experiencing it yet.

Should I be of concern?

Mummies I'm back :)

My bleeding continued over the week, it got lesser, finally stopped completely today. Despite profuse bleeding, i saw my little one's heartbeat at A&E. It's a terrible experience but i'm glad it's over.

Happy to see new mummies on board :)
 
lilgirly, congrats and welcome! nausea may come "find" you in the coming weeks, who knows, it may even strike tomorrow! :) don't worry and enjoy your 1st trimester and rest as much as you can for now.

sleepawhile, glad to know that! hopefully beanie will be guai guai and no more bleeding. rest loads, yah?

Hi all, I've created a new account as I had difficulty logging in with my previous account(lilgirly) which was linked with my facebook.

Anyway, thanks for the assurance. By the way, meanwhile, any food i should/should not eat? This is my first pregnancy, therefore, lots of question marks.
