sunnysun dun worry, sure can see 1... when i jst test positive the next day i go see gynae liao. as i miss my period 1 mth liao ma, but due to ovulation very late lah.... scare me cos my gynae scan nth, but he say maybe still very early. but he did another urine test to reconfirm pregnancy lah... it only 2 week later den i saw bb n heartbeat such a relieved. dun worry...

 

[vnc]

sunnysun:
Hmmm... what kind of scan did you do leh? Is it from "top" or "bottom"? Doc said if from top, can't see anything one. From bottom, then can see.

 

[sunnysun]

cheryl

Thanks for comforting me

vnc

they insert this thing inside my down there..

hmm..wat u mean scan fr top ?

i a bit puzzled

 

[kynan_baby]

hi sunnyson..

dun worry.. everything will be okie..

 

[vnc]

sunnysun,
Oh... hmmm... then same same. Actually I also not sure how the doc scan from "top". But that's what my doc told the nurse. Hee...

Actually, I know how you feel. That day when I got the high fever, I was also very worried. No matter how much people told me to dun worry, I still worry.

 

[mummygirl]

hi vnc & sunnysun, that's quite cheap for the consultations.. I'm going to private hospital so i assume it' will be expensive?

I'm also waiting to go home now. haha. everyday wait for 6pm

 

[ah_cat]

sunnysun,
So how u find Dr Tan, the man with a mole? Keke...

 

[veryhappy]

mummygirl,
think some medicine like panadol is same. dunno about chinese medicine or jamu. but avoid rubbing oil to the stomach b'cos it could be ingested by the fetus. if done oredi nevermind lah, just don't do it again.

dinoltan,
been in your fren's position before. she can have doubts, firstly she might be measuring earlier than she thought, probably last month she actually has longer period cycles or she has a late bloomer. she can stick with the same gynae and ask her for repeat scan next week. or she could get a second opinion. i have done all. but since i knew my calculations very well, no heartbeat at 7 weeks exactly is not really a good sign. however i would love to be proven wrong. we will all pray for your friend's bean!

cheryl,mummygirl,
me oso having diarrhea all the time. then again, i am mildly lactose intolerant but i asked my GP yesterday he said diarrhea can also be a pregnant symptom.

 

[babe_dude]

Hi hi..wah... so many posts liao.. gosh.. got to do some catch up first...

My consultation ... easily 150+ per visit.. coz consultation is 75 and scan is 50.. if inclusive med, easily up to 200+!! Really broke ah..

baby_dude: eh my boobs also leh. increased liao - was just telling my hub that if it increased already in week 5, what will happen by the time it's 5th month? kekekeee.

 

[mummygirl]

hello Melissa, you mentioned that we should not rub oil to our stomach. What about our forehead then? Because my headache getting worse, need to rub some oil to make it better.

By the way, last AF means start of the last period?

 

[vnc]

Morning ladies!!~

sunnysun:
My EDD is 2nd, not 3rd.

Hmmm... hubby always seems like more rational than us. Usually us MTBs are more paranoid. Hee...

to all who visited Gynae:
Care to share what advice your Gynae gave?

My Gynae told me :
-not to run
-not to eat coconut (not even curry)/pineapple
-eat what I like to eat (except for the above)

...

 

[sunnysun]

[hermione2326]

babe_dude, the more ms the better bb growing...so is a good console...

 

[veryhappy]

Angeline,
Hi welcome and congrats. wow #3? i think i'm giving up after #2 liao! My ms quite teruk and I'm working full-time with 10mth old at home, really tires me out. Did you plan to have #3 or did it just happen?

mummy,
Yes mummy, i'm taking my vitamin, the drinkable kind, b'cos if i try to swallow pills i will vomit ha!

kmum,
not true for my case, it started at week 5 and getting worse and worse.. i heard it will hit a plateau reaching week 8-9 b'cos HCG level is highest then, then it will decline, so hopefully the symptoms will taper off too.

i have a errmm embarassing question. now that you girls are pregnant, do you still "ahem ahem" or are you wearing chastitiy belt already? has any gynae advised against this? on my first pregnancy, my gynae explicitly told my hubby to stay away from me for the first 3 months. i don't know if she's going to advise the same.

 

[hermione2326]

thanks melissa.....i always planned to have #3....hubby doesnt want...and so i also started to have no #3 when it happen.....u wun wan a #3?....

ur first was a gal or boy?...dod u have such bad ms?....

i have bad ms for the first 2 preg....but this rd nothing...and i started to freakout.....cos i dun knw if the bb is ok.....

i do still ahem....i think if no bleeding..no contractions or what..should be alrite....if gynae says no...then better heed....

 

[hermione2326]

babe_dude....u have a sense of what u carrying?...i have strong sense for my first two...this i have nothing....wonder what wrong....

u preferred what gender....

y not guess gender....then preferred gender and one more is actual gender?....hee...

 

[vnc]

Hi Kmum,
Hmm....Not necessary from 7th week. Coz I got it when I was 5+weeks only. I thought the sour plum could stop the nausea feeling, but no use at all.

There is one Vitamin B that the doctor prescribed to me; it was meant to prevent nausea/vomitting. Other than that my doctor also prescribed a yellow pills that would stop the nausea/vomitting. But his advise is try not to take that unless really really cannot take it.

 

[vnc]

Melissa:
Umm... we still "ahem". Doctor didn't advise not to. And I read from many websites that it's okay unless doctor advise not to.

This is what I got from the net :
"Can sex harm my baby?
No, not directly. Your baby is fully protected by the amniotic sac (a thin-walled bag that holds the fetus and surrounding fluid) and the strong muscles of the uterus. There's also a thick mucus plug that seals the cervix and helps guard against infection. The penis does not come into contact with the fetus during sex."

 

[cherylkjh]

my ms start at 5 week, very strong ms but no vomit... at now 8 week + it has subside abit...
nvr ahem.. hb say 1st 3 mth bb not stable,

 

[hermione2326]

vnc, u could try mentos strong mint....i used to have motion sickness....it helps great...

 

[vnc]

Hi Angeline Lee,
Thanks for the advise.

 

[abcdisney]

yea mint help.

Yes we still hv intimacy.

My dr say that at this point no nd multi vit yet ley.. say even if he gv everything gona vomit out. So i only on folic acid. Anyway i will be starting on fish oil and flaxseed oil from GNC soon. In my first preg i dun even take any vitamins or any oil etc... even folic i din take everyday. hahaha...

I think my MS for this bb is better than when i hv my #1. Think only la.. not sure yet cos now still early to say. I will be hving my 3rd gynae visit on 6 aug.

Angeline: i oso with Dr Ang. U stay where? All yr previous ones with him?
