Hazel, I don't know whether I have MS or not coz I have v bad gastric problems...so will vomit everytime i eat...but I suspect it's more of my gastric....and I will aso vomit after a car ride...
I have been weighing myself..have not gained anything yet..........getting a bit worried, so my hubby and MIL kept asking me to eat more, but I jus can't eat after my usual portion. Nevertheless, my appetite is definitely better.
My poor appetite and vomitting kicked in during week 6-7 till wk 14...now lesser vomitting liao

gan, usually, we will clear family day leave first if we need to take leave for watever reasons. no one will ask for what. b'coz family day leave cannot be encash if resign 
same for child care leave. just take. no one will ask if it is really to take care for child.
if i am not wrong, company also reinburses up to $3k hospitalisation cost for delivery. i heard last time, can claim full!

Vi4n,
Cos I have not tested BFP. So I was hoping to have some syptoms so that I feel more assured.

okok.. Cos my bloated feeling is only at times that I feel. Then I also dun really have increased discharge today. But just now I say I'm hungry right, then I went to buy fishball to eat. After eating, now I feel bloated and of the nausea feeling.. Jialat.. Lately I keep having this prob. Feel hungry then after eating something, feel bloated and want to vomit..

Gan,
Icic... Erm.. Envy envy.. If my boss didnt show her unhappiness, maybe I will take a few more days leave. But my boss is kind enough to give me less workload and less stress..
Anyway, I went back on 21 then work till 23rd then 24 is office xmas party and the half day. So actually I only work 3 days last week.

Tickles, i have never been away from work for such long time. For the last 2 years, i never take more than 2 days off in a row as I was taking care of my old cat who has kidney problem, so I didn't travel except for those 2D1N holiday lah.
So for that 3 weeks, when I suddenly have so much time, besides eating, sleeping,watching tv chatting at forum, i was very bored.
