(2015/10) Oct 2015 Mummies

I am at 8W4D. Now MS picking up and hair is also dropping like mad. So scary even though I know it is temporary. Can't bear to sweep floor every day...
 


I'm having small whitehead pimples on my forehead. During my first pregnancy, it was more visible around this time and my hubby thought it's gonna be a boy and it was! :p

I drank carbonated drinks on n off too but I try not to drink it cold. It helps a lot as it will make me burp. I crave a lot for sweet drinks so in the end, i drink fruit juice like honeydew or Apple carrot juice.

eh actually not all mummies will hv MS...some dun hv MS, some MS only till 1st trimester..i hv 2 friends who MS from start till delivery...instead of putting on weight, she lost 10kg instead....

I guess it boils down to the hormones inside our bodies.....

I read that we get MS because pregnancy hormones, such as progesterone, slow down the rate of indigestion, so that more food can reach the baby. This often leads to indigestion, which is why we might throw up, as food is not digested as easily or quickly. So in a way, if we have MS, it means that there is a lot of pregnancy hormones in our bodies.

Of course better not to have severe MS, which can lead to severe dehydration. I wish mine will end soon :/
 
Last nite onwards I started getting light brown vaginal discharge when I wipe after pee. What does this mean ? My ob is out of station now and I worried what to do

are u able to call your gynae? I would suggest doing that cos i don't think we are in a position to really advise you on this. professional advice is best and best to be on the safe side and contact gynae.
 
I can't stop myself from eating potato chips! Just to get rid of the weird taste in my mouth. But I have to limit myself to 5 pcs of Pringles per day. I like peanuts too, but I read that it's not so good for pregnancy. I recently discovered green peas snacks! Its healthier! :D

Dear Mummies to be,

I have been burping for the entire night until now.. Thought after burping for so long, the gas should have been all passed out. But until now, it is still happening. It's really making me really uncomfortable. Any remedies to help?

Hi Keelaine,
I have the same problem too ... Been burping every few secs for the past 3 days. Lost appetite and feel very bloated even though I hardly eat. I tried Coke, but it didn't help much with the burping.
Today I had chicken porridge with ginger slices in it. My burping reduced a lot and felt so much better. I think it's the ginger that is helping. You might want to try that.

Yes they will make u drink a super sweet syrup.

I had GD for my #1, the food controlling part was tough! Have to self test blood sugar for a week and do food recording for my gynae and email him for checking. Every time after meal must go for a walk to "burn" off the sugar.

It went off after birth.

Hi Lavitaz,

Thankfully my burping has stopped and my stomach also don't feel bloated.. I wanted to boil ginger at home and drink but one of my older colleague said cannot drink too much, will cause jaundice.. Not sure if this is true..
 
I'm currently 10 weeks 5 days and get morning sickness in the mid afternoon onwards. Currently still have it and though now I shouldn't look like I'm preggie however I do because my stomach is constantly very bloated.
Just went to my Gynae at mount alvernia. Saw my baby moving his/her limbs for the first time. I've been getting breakouts on my face as well lately. Been using my clarisonic religiously but seems to keep popping out these pimples. Any good cleanser that's safe for pregnancy that any of you can recommend?
 
I'm exactly 10 wks today. Oso getting a lot of breakouts. As usual still sleeping, eating and drinking a lot.

Lately I feels more nauseous then usual (I don't vomit). I hope this is a good sigh that bb is growing. Cross fingers that I wun spot or bled after my ustrogstan stopped for 2 days already. Till then next visit will be on the 24 march. Still have about 1.5 wks more to go. By then I'm 11w3d. Will enquire my gynea about the oscar test.
 
I'm into my 11 weeks... nauseous doesn't seem to be subsiding but skin has become very dry, especially my forehead area... any recommendation for facial moisturiser for very dry skin? Will be having Oscar in end March. .. hope everything's fine as last scan was end Feb. ..
 
I'm reaching 8 weeks soon.. Ytd dinner I was surprise that I can eat so much.. I had chicken soup, a piece of chicken. My MIL made ngoh hiang and I ate 2 rolls of it and other dishes. I haven't been feeling nausea since ytd dinner until now. Don't know whether I'm worrying too much.

Don't worry too much. Some days MS goes away, just try and eat whatever you can then.

I realized every time I have a Proluton jab, my nausea becomes worse. There are days when it is really good, I don't really have nausea. Only consolation is I am still keeping my food down, just that I do not have any interest in food. I'm just eating to prevent hunger.

What's Oscar test ? My gynea dint mention about this .
 
Hi ladies..When are your second appointments scheduled? I had my first appointment at wk 8 and gynae made booking for harmony test in about one month after my first appointment but no second appointment date was given to me. Not sure if I'm expected to see gynae only after harmony results come out, which by then I might be week 14-15 already...

Thanks littlebiscuit.. My gynae clinic assistant only asked me to go collect the box and pay few days before the test (that's at week 12) then go down to TMC directly for the test.. So i assume I'm not given a slot to see the gynae before that..
 
hello mtb,

May I ask if ur gynae gives u options to choose between Oscar test n harmony test? Mine asked me to consider Oscar test during my 1st appt at wk7, then ask I wanted to go for harmony test during my 2nd appt though she booked Oscar test for me. Now, I really don't know which test to go bcoz of my age.....

If you are below 30, you should get a 90% accuracy with Oscar and NT combined. Oscar alone only has 80% accuracy.

For harmony, it has between 95% to 99% accuracy. Also better if you are older or if you are carrying multiples. But bear in mind harmony test is almost 3x more expensive than Oscar. About $1.3-1.5k depending.

If no matter what you are going to carry the child, then it doesn't matter which test I guess.

My gynae gave me a choice but told me for my case maybe harmony is better since I am above 35 and am having twins.
