married soon,
It must be really stressful for you at this point of time to be preparing for your big day and to face the dilemmas and fears brought by the pregnancy.
what slimming pills were u taking? you may wish to bring to your gynae the packaging of the slimming pills that shows the contents of the pills. Search on internet too for information on the risk that the contents will posed on the child AND I agree with BabyS that u shld stop taking the pills asap.
What's your FH's views on the pregnancy? Supportive of keeping the child? U will definitely need a lot of support from your loved ones. I certainly hope you will decide to keep the child. I conceived my child 3 mths into my marriage. Our child has brought so much joy into the family & parenthood is priceless....

Married soon,
I was with Dr Loke too.
With him, you have to do your own research and ask him when in doubt. I referred to a week by week pregnancy guidebook and it really helped in allaying all my anxieties and to know wat is happening to my body during pregnancy. Have you started your folic acid and calcium? If not, got to start immediately.
Yup! one will feel tired easily during the first trimester. Try not to worry too much but enjoy the process. For now, you have got your wedding to be busy with.
You can quickly go and try your gown again and if it needs any alteration, think they shld be able to do it asap.

Hi Jonana,
thanks for your guidance. Yes, i m taking folic tablet but none for calcium. ROM jus a wk away, on mother's day! His parents do not know abt the pregnancy yet. My baby be due on the 1st Jan 2008.
Dr Loke did not give me wk by wk pregnancy guide. Anywhere to purchase it? Or wad is the title, maybe can ask my sis to see if she has it? Got to really save up for the baby tt is coming.. We don't really have much extra to spare.
Yes,i got too tired.. almost sleeping at any other time. Woke up at 11plus tis morning, slept at 4-7pm again..
Knowing tt, i m those very work-driven person... someone who love to work and word.. but now, totally no strength to want to work. U mentioned only first trimester right? Hopefully can quickly get over with it..
Not over with wedding shots, wedding dinner... got to start planning before i m getting too fat....

Marry Soon,
Wow! due on 1 Jan 08! Hopefully the little one will arrive at midnite sharp to be the first baby of 2008. Then you may get some extra incentives $$$ by sponsors.
Symptoms of pregnancy wise, it varies with individuals. I didn't have much problem, no morning sickness, no nothing. Cld even travel in Japan for 2 weeks during my 2nd mth (against dr's advice though)....
The guidebook was a gift from a friend. Can't remember the exact title cos I loan the bk to a fren. It's a week by week guidebook by a Doctor. It's mentioned in the foreword abt her having twin girls. I wld also recommend The Complete Book of Breastfeeding: Revised Edition by Eiger, Marvin S. Very comprehensive. Both r available at Borders.
It's also good to join the Dec 07 mum-to-be. Can share on the symptoms, etc and learn from each other.

Hi Jonana,
Thanks for the reply. My office was under renovation, now in new office. With the carpet smell, giving me bad headache. The pple in office still do not know i m pregnant, but the smell of it.. many went bk reporting sick. Moreover, i m pregnant, very worried on this pregnancy. And can't afford to take any MC as well.
Suddenly filled with anxiety and lost over myself.. feeling unusual ...
Sorry but where to join Dec 07 Mum-to-be?

Married soon,
From the main forum, go to 'Year 2007 and later mum' and select Dec 2007 MTB. Alternatively, you can go to the following link. http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/578191/751265.html?1178542369
You sound really anxious. Do talk to your FH and share your worries. I am aware that many women are worried abt losing their job if the cpy knows abt their pregnancy, esp. with all the financial commitments. It's really tough but guess we really got to prioritise. You got to really take good care of your health and the baby....

Hi Jo,
yes, totally lost.. my boss jus spoke to me saying either i keep the child or keep the job.. she expects me to tender if i am keeping the child.. She told me to face the reality tt i am really unable to keep the child if i have this job..
with this child, prob got to fork out extra 1k every month of which we are totally unable to do so..
but tot of killing a life really terrifed me. I m still unable to accept the reality of ending a life!!

Your boss is really mean...
man or lady??? Married soon, may I know wat's the nature of your job?
My personal conviction is that every life is precious and God-given. I certainly hope that you can keep the child. But I guess it's easier said than done. If you quit, it may not be as easy to find a new job with the pregnancy. Do not make rash decision. Talk to you FH and parents. Don't carry all the emotional burden on your own. With your mean boss, if you decide to leave the job, complain to MOM. Don't let him/her off so easily....
Other mummies, any advice????

Hi Jo,
yes.. i m sharing the same sentiments with you. I m doing HR and she is the manager of HR Team as well.. cannot imgaine..
the government is so-proactive in getting pple to give birth yet on the other hand..she is asking me to go..not possible to look for another job at this pt.. means, she is leaving me with no choice....
Yes, waiting for my hubby to come bk to discuss on this issue. On top of that, if the child comes along.. it will be additional 1k each month which i m definately unable to do so.... too hard on this issue...And on top of that, i was on medication as well while this child came along... so not sure if the child will b normal not.. more money to roll in.. *stress*
But on the other hand as what u said, child is a God-given.. v v unfair for me to take away the life that God has given.. i m really stuck...my hubby surely can't discuss on God's issue...
Sob.....Too many for, for aborting... only one on keeping the child...

hi married soon
you may complain to MOM, but make self prepare that yr boss really dont want you immediately. at least she is on the blacklist at MOM record.
or look for another job like part time work first, after you have gave birth, you go and look for new job, you're still young, can get one easily. i'm sure that you can make thru this period.
cheer

Hi Babysean,
thanks for the advise. Will pop by MOM tmr. Tmr is my final fitting for my ROM and also ROM appt at the office. Afterthat will head down to see gynae if i want to keep the child..
But seriously, i m unable to lose this job with such salary. with new renovation and flat coming, totally unable to be without a job. No doubt, i can always get another job.. but for now, i need the job.

Married soon,
Just browsed thru the Dec 07 MTB thread. Looks like you've got a lot of advice from the MTB and the thread is a lot more active.
You were head-hunted? guess they probably offered attractive salary and yup! It's going to be difficult to get another job with such salary. With your calibre, why not try and look for another job before quitting? try civil service? they wld probably be more pro-family. Salary may not be as good but there's still an income. And for raising a child, don't need $1000 when they are young lah... on average, i spend abt $500 a month on my girl.
For your renovation, try and see if you can do the necessary stuff first. Your FH back yet? Got his views yet?

Married soon,
glad u had the assurance from your gynae and I'm so so happy that you have decided to keep the baby. I can remember the first time i heard my child's heartbeat too. It was so exciting and the moment is just so precious. There're more sweet moments to come. But be mindful though that the first two months after child is born can be quite trying and tiring. Nevertheless, parenting is really fun.
Just said a prayer for you that God will open the door for job opportunity. One lesson I've learnt is: God will provide. Just to share my experience, when my baby was due soon, my husband's boss gave him a pay rise knowing tt he needs to support his family. I also got a good bonus to pay for the hospitalisation and child's new stuff.
God is good, all the time.

hi married soon
i'm also glad to see that u've made up ur decision to keep the bb!!
indeed, this little one is God-given! and surely, God will provide u with all the necessary to over this challenge!
most imptly, have faith!
my case was even worse than u, my bb came 7months before my actual wedding date and we even had difficulties in breaking the news to my MIL.
though she couldnt accept the fact initially and even refuse to attend our wedding, but God really see thru and now, she's a happy Grandma to our son!
I guess ur tardiness is only for the time being as your body changes to meet your little one inside u.
maybe try to take more water and vit B-complex cos it helps to curb the moni sickness!

Hi young belle

Previously I left my bb in Simei Blk 165, but withdrew as he was sick and cannot attend the infant care, the fee is $550.
