Minimize cold drinks, herbal teas, drinks with caffine in first trimester.

.Yes I tink u should tell her and also tell her don't tell others...
we also havnt tell both side parents.. intend to tell after the next scan in sept.
mercury will have risk in baby's brain development.
is threadfin (午鱼) fine?
I told my mum. But not mil yet. Sat I going for scan. So might be telling her next week. Ya. Hub will tell her not to go tell others.
So which kind of food have mercury?
Not too sure about threadfin...maybe you can check online.. should have more information.
Tuna, yellow tail fish, sword fish, shark, mackeral..these are the common ones that i know that have high mercury content. Online have more comprehensive list.
For me..i love unagi..eel..but i am unsure about its contents..so i just skip it for first trimester.
Usually fishes and shellfish contain mercury, some have low, some have high.. Can eat those fishes with Low Mercury and to avoid those with high Mercury..
Eg: shark, tuna, swordfish, king mackerel (these have high Mercury and that I known of)
I think salmon, thread fin and cod fish are safe coz young kids usually eat them
Hello everyone, I tested positive yesterday and my first scan is with Dr Benjamin Tham is on 28 Aug. This is my 2nd one. Able to add me to the secret fb group? [email protected]
OK. I eat cod fish quite alot. When out eating usually hub will order cod fish.
Congrats. How many weeks are you at?
Hello! First time mum-to-be here. Just found this thread, BB expected in April if all goes well, estimated 6+weeks preg now. First gynae appt with Dr Benjamin Tham as well on 27 Aug, on the recommendation of friends. Looks like he is really popular! Anyone already gone for an appt with him?

For now you can just take folic acid in early pregnancy..you can buy off shelf from guardian and unity. When you go for gynae checkup he may prescribe you futher supplements e.g. iron tables, omega 3 dha and calcium vit D tablets.
hi pls accept my friend request on fb and I'll add you
For constipation, prune juice is really good! Otherwise can ask gynae to prescribe some stool softener? That will help too.
As for fish, babies n young toddlers eat cod fish, salmon & ngor he fish so these 3 r confirmed safe for preggy ladies!
Those that love banana or need banana.. Just buy the kids banana.. U r safe. Don't eat the del monte ones cuz those are very cooling.
Kitty88, same here I haven't told mil yet! I want to wait until next scan end of August before I let her know. My fear is let her happy for nothing.

I'm taking blackmores cuz it's easy to buy. Also can watch out for Watson or guardian sale.

Hi All,
Yes, please do not ever take liang tea during the first trimester. I unexpectedly took it during my first pregnancy in Dec 2011, and ended up with a miscarriage at week 8, as baby's growth was behind by 2 weeks, and heartbeat was also low.
I took the liang cha around week 5 or 6, I think.

For constipation, you can add black vinegar into the soup that you are drinking. This is recommended by my mom's friend, and it works for me.
When will be ur next scan again?
Ya. My intention is to let her know when my scan can see everything.
I going for scan tml.
How's the scan? Mine is 2 weeks later..
I going tomorrow.
Me.. Not just morning sickness, its more of a "anytime" sickness...
Generally it seems to be triggered by unaccustomed smells. Feel like the sense of smell is extra strong. hahahaYes. Today got nauseous feeling and stomach feel bloated.
I don't have morning sickness (fingers crossed), but I cannot go on hunger, once hungry I need to eat, else I get giddy....
same for me, once hungry will get giddy, and... always hungry haha
Oh then u better keep some snacks in your bag in case. Must take care! I'm feeling hungry every now and then. My hub said I'm fat liao
Let ur gynae know tomorrow. It should be old blood..but she should quickly check ur progesterone level and give u meds if required to stablize pregnancy.
U have any cramp?
I also feel fat n bloated liao...belly look like 3 months preggy even though is only 5 weeks now!Oh then u better keep some snacks in your bag in case. Must take care! I'm feeling hungry every now and then. My hub said I'm fat liao
Same here! Especially I have 'old' fats from first pregnancy
My shorts are kind of tight now
Ya. I will let her know tomorrow. But kinda worry.
Slight cramp. With bloated and naesuos
Yes. Me too. Look like 3 months rather then 6 weeks.
Better tell your Gynae 2ml..
Yes, I will tell my gynae tml.
Mi too my tummy is so bloated and big that I cannot fit into some bottoms.
Did u carry any heavy things recently? If there's any abnormal discharge better consult ur gynae.
Me! Those few days kept raining, I was feeling so cold in office n train stations. I thought so too that preggers shld always feel hot. Maybe not for all ppl, just wear more and don't catch a cold
Before I had the brown mucus I sneeze alot. Then that's all. No more mucus. Don't think I carry anything heavy. I try to avoid taking too heavy things now.

Dun worry too much. Just tell your gynae Tmr. I had brown or pink discharge throughout my 1st pregnancy and it happened when I puked cos I used a lot of force. I puked throughout my 9 mths.
My boy is healthily born. Sometimes it's just our body. Dr tham wasn't able to pinpoint exactly why too. But I was given a jab n hormones pills. So dun worry too much first k.
Thanks. After seeing what you say. I'm at ease now.
