Just wondering, when do u gals inform the rest of the world about your pregnancy? Especially to colleagues whom I'm not close to but they are team mates....
Dilemma
My team in a turmoil now due to retrenchment n job movements etc... only my boss and a super close colleague know... The rest of the team are largely unaware, I think.
10 weeks now... tummy cannot hide for very long I guess... sigh ... I'm still wearing my usual office attires though getting tighter liao! put on 1kg

If your probation is confirmed, company don't have to right to retrench you at this stage. Unless whole company closed down. Usually for people who are pan tang, they informed after 1st trimester. It really depends on individual but I would suggest after 3 months cause I have heard 3 cases where they don't believe and ended up miscarriage. Sometimes it is the baby who is pan tang. Whether to believe it or not, for baby sake, by all means also gonna try to protect them just in case something bad happen, we would blame we didn't do this and that

Actually to me it's not scary it was very sad when I dreamt abt them. In fact when I woke up from the dream, I was really crying..

*hugs hugs**..I understand what you are going through, dreaming of them, that sadness is beyond our control and we definitely don't wish such incident to happen. Only those who have gone through miscarriage would understand the pain. But at least now you have one gal? Am I right? By the way, how many kids do you have?

i only let my reporting officer and closely working colleague know cos has been applying leaves due to ivf process and now, regular check-up. but i guess the rest know cos they will sure talk behind one. as for friends / relatives, none know after 1 tri.

so blessed with 2nd child... spread your baby dust to me!

 

[Lambi]

@remembeRainbow I've pmed you

 

[snow19]

I can't remember which mummy bought the caters online huh? Can show me the link hehe

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

I don't know. He wants to see me before my scheduled appointment which is on the 12 may. I don't want to see him lah. What could he possibly say that would make me feel better. It's not like the result is bad anyway. No mood to eat. Having salad with a bit of tuna and no dressing. I am scared for sure. Borderline means it can go both ways. Might as well start on a healthier diet now. Cutting back on rice and bread. And ooh... Giving up on milo which is my favourite.

I couldn't give up on milo but keep to one a day. By the way, saw that tuna is not recommended due to its mercury content. Better to eat cooked vegetables still compared to salad.

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

wah u power hehe ..yea! the insurance I in the end didn't get any at all apart from the compulsory one gov hv..best is cash on hand ..I figured out even if one gets the insurance not all the time can claim and we pay 100over200 a mth go figure...no wonder insurance companies earning lots even our own gov hv their own 'ntuc income'

Hi ladies, self intro myself a bit. I'm turning 30 this yr, hub is turning 31. We have been trying for baby for almost a year but no news so went to private gynae to do check up. Hub is diagnosed with low morphology of 1%. Doc gave him proxeed plus, he cut down smoking a lot to 1 stick/day or even no ciggy at all and 3 mths later he went re-test, no improvement at all Then 2mth ago we started visiting Tcm at clementi, dunno got improvement or not. I went for ultrasound scan at gynae, so far so gd and i've regular menses of 26-29days. Every month when my bbt drop, my menses sure come then i'll feel super depress and had caused my r/s with my hub to be on rock but now we are fine. We decided to go to polyclinic to get referral to KKH because felt very depress each time menses come

I got confused with ivf. Understand that doc will collect eggs and fertilise the sperm with egg on dish then place back to my body. But hor.. If i ovulate on day15, do they collect on day15 or when the egg is big enough? Few days after they collected then they place back to my body? Usually after 12 days i ovulated, on the 13th day my menses will come.

This is an emotional roller coaster ride. Contrary to finding my hubby to be fully supportive at the start of the journey, I found my hubby rather down, and perhaps, even more pessimistic than me. I didn't realise that his ego was greatly affected and he blamed himself for infertility issue. I realised that women had to be the lead in fertility journey, read up a lot, and then the hubby just follow along and pay.

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

sheesh.... sometimes MIL's words are just insensitive to max.

after my ectopic, my MIL asks me , everytime i take cold drinks, 'still dare to take cold drinks ah'

irritating to max

Actually, it's best to have an agreement with hubby, not to reveal anything to both sides of parents, till there is good news and when things are settled down. Keep things generic to IVF and food restrictions. There is nothing that parents can do, and sometimes, they don't know how to respond, except to care by blaming and use their good old days knowledge to show "concern".

my IVF dr said milo is ok to take ?

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

Dear ladies, I have been rather exhausted with phlegm surrounding throat and having a constant need to spit for the past 1 week. Regardless of what I drink in the morning, Hot Milo or Apple Juice, the phelgm will start and don't end until many hours later. Wondering if anyone has similar problem or remedy to suggest? Did anyone manage to ask their Dr if off the shelves cough mixture, like "Woods" or "Ivy Leaf" or "Sea Coconut Cough Mixture" can take?

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

I supposed its caffeine level is very low, compared to coffee. So, in moderation should be fine, I assume Thanks for sharing your Dr's view.

not sure if 批琶膏 ok ?

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

Dear ladies, I am wondering how do you keep your spirits up, while going through nauseating cycle every day? I feel very exhausted by 5pm each day and sometimes quite lousy for not accomplished much. Running to the loo for diarrhoea, feeling nauseous all the time, and phelgmy take up my entire morning till noon. I have varied my breakfast and eating, simply bread and a drink. Feeling zonked...

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

Haha, I also need to start my day with a hot drink, if not body engine cannot start.

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

Thought about it, worried about its honey content, saw on some forum that honey need to be pasteurised, and if not, not totally safe for preggies.

 

[Best Fertility Friend]

Dear ladies, did anyone use Yu Yee Oil to apply, to cope with nauseating feeling? I have been keeping away from herbs but thought maybe can use. Has anyone tried?

my way of keeping spirits high is sleep... grab as much rest as i can at night..
and watch youtube videos! i find it very heartwarming to watch "the return of the superman- triplets".. korean dad wif triplets..

Haha, I watched that too. The kids are like "Xiao Da Ren", very adorable. I hadn't. Was trying to avoid medicine as far as possible, through diet changes.

Just back from praying. Feeling hot and been sweating non stop. Got myself a avocado milkshake and vegetarian bee hoon.
@forumbb, just the usual praying with joss sticks and papers lo. Today, is Zhu Sheng Niang Niang's birthday, seeking for a peace of mind for my bb's health since it has been awhile after the previous scan.

How are you today? TGIF, any plans?

sorry dont mind asking what u mean pray pray?

 

[Chubby1314]

I have been having phelgm for quite a while as well. You might want to consider to purchase those Yuzu Citron Tea (in bottle), mix with hot water and drink it in the morning..Try to reduce sweet stuff as well. Sometimes, I will try to vomit those phelgm out as well especially in the night time.

Been watching US and Korea dramas over the past few days.. Been watching vampire and detective kinda stories most of the time... hahaha, just wanna feel excited and thrilled.. em.. best not to follow. haha.. Will try to watch cartoons or shows with comedy storylines.

 

[Chubby1314]

Oh ya... coming sunday is Mother's Day.. wishing everyone of you here.. Happy Mother's Day!.. Just in case, I missed it during the weekends.....
