My gynae prescribed me nausea med which induces drowsiness. It helped me sleep through the night.
Otherwise I will be waking up to vomit or can't even sleep due to indigestion or heartburn.

Spelling might be wrong but it's something like votazine. I need to check again at night. There's no side effect for me, except for being too sleepy the next day. =) hope you can find a solution to your insomnia.

I'm in week 13 and is also having the same discomfort n pulling pain in tummy too, ard belly button area as well, especially in the night. As my hub will be away for his business trip n i'll be left alone, i can't stop worrying so made a trip to see my gynae. He explained that most of the cases are due to stretching n gassy and We did a scan to confirm the little one is fine.

He further remind us that if there's sharp pain or pain like menses cramp or pain that continue for an hr with/without spotting, We will have to go bk n check.

as of last night, I'm still having the same pulling/discomfort, will continue to monitor.

to have a peace of mind, you may want to give clinic a call to check with ur gynae too.

Thanks mummy sunshine!
Ya! I feel the discomfort at night especially. I guess it's the lying position that stretches the belly.
Good to know that it's normal.
Do remember to rub on body oil/moisturizer!

Grass jelly? Better don't drink, it is the most cooling beverage. Try to avoid water melon and pineapple too. You try to take more veg or drink soup since you don't like fish and meat. If not, try to take salmon and cod. They don't have fishy smell and are high in omega which is good for our baby brain development :)

oh dear grass jelly is cooling too?? I just had a can for lunch..... :(

She is from TMC. Check tmc website for antenatal class and there are 2 trainers and they train at amk hub and oasis hotel. They recommend that you attend the classes from 20th week.
 
Wow... been really busy with work recently...

Will be at Smart Kids Asia at Singapore Expo today....

They teach you about breastfeeding, how to care for the baby and lots more. The course outline is on the website. I have signed up but not yet attended class.

I attended the KKH one and they teach massage, how hubby should massage you, how to bathe baby (on a baby doll), how to breastfeed, how to push and how to breathe while pushing, food & nutrition for pregnancy. overall 1st time mummies shd go. :) hubby goes along too to enrich their knowledge on how tough it is for us ladies.
 
I will most likely sign up with TMC childbirth class. There are 2 options- either a 6 lesson course or a one day crash course. I'm thinking crash course will be sufficient. Anybody thinks otherwise can share?

Hi maybe_baby, are you taking iron pills? If so, it will lead to constipation.

I had constipation last week at week 11, I drink Yakult. In fact there's one day I drank 3 bottles. It helped. At the end of the week, I started having diarrhoea after the second bottle then I stopped. :D

What crash course is? What are they going to teach?how much?
How can i sign up?thanks
 
5 weekly lessons of 2hr each + 1 doctor's talk = about $300

I understand that there's an option of a one day course which compresses the 5 weekly lessons. Not sure about the fees but it's slightly cheaper.

Can refer to TMC parent craft website.

I'm thinking of taking the compressed course due to convenience.

Hi mummies

I m now around 16wks.had done OSCAR scan,wonder what else of scan i will go through later? Heard abt harmony and detail scans,wonder when these 2scans are needed to be done?thanks
 
hi RnRnr!
I had my Harmony scan n test done on my 12th week. As per gynae, harmony was done due to my age (35). If results come back good for Oscar you shouldn't be needing Harmony test but do confirm with your gynae k! Detail scan will be done on our 20th week. Remember to drink a little more water prior to the scans!
 
For 1st time mummies, it's good to take the course...

Usually u can choose 5 days x 2hrs or the 1 day course which is usually 8hrs (9-5pm).... So depends on yr schedule....

I had my course at NUH with #1 and it really taught me a lot of basic skill like bathing, feeding, breastfeeding, what to do during labour, etc...

Would advise that hubby comes along with u too....
 
Hi, anyone experiencing rashes on the butt area? Is it safe to use the cream for nappy rashes??

I am having the same problem as you. And I will get headache for the whole day if lack of sleep. I went to consult GP instead and she gave me flu medicine which she said it is the safest. But still, I din take any. I am using some essential oils to help me sleep and for my headache too. It works for me. Maybe you can consider trying :)

Hi eu eu,
Where can I get the essential oil?
 
Mummies,

If I'm already taking supplements given by the gynae, do I still need to take pregnancy formula milk? I am given the formula milk by my mil and I read from the packaging that that the nutrients are somewhat the same folic acid, calcium, dha... Is that such thing as an overdose?

I had a bad headache today and even after napping for 2 hrs it didn't help...

Hubby made me warm lime drink and it goes away after 30 mins!

He just squeeze a lime into a glass of warm water...
