HI hi all, m writing from China now... supposed to be having my hols but not enjoying v much coz no appeitite and forever v nausea... I have a bit of spotting leh.. but i tk shld be ok lah.. hope so.. fingers crossed. I tk it is coz i have been carrying my daughter around for quite a bit.
I wonder how mums out there who r having 3rd preg cope with 2 kids and another one in tummy. Here I am... struggling with 1 kid and not much energy to play with her and run around with her plus all the "preggy sickness" no mood to sometimes smile at her and she feels it... coz she gets grouchy when i m grouchy.. trying v hard to put up a happy expression. She is rather sticky to me... coz been breastfeeding her and still m, so most of the times she wans me... sigh.. so very very very very tired.
Can't wait to get back Spore and see my gyane for peace of mind... kindof worried abt my spotting.. though i tk it is not a lot, i think.

thanks for all the concern!
i saw gynae yesterday and can see bb's heartbeat. roughly abt 6 weeks 6 days.
the EDD can change from calculated cos i think they will measure the size of the bb.
serene,
best to check with you gynae whether safe to travel. also, if you feel alright, i guess it shd be ok. it wd be quite sian to travel when u have MS etc.
re carrying of kid
i still carry my boy almost everyday. he is abt 12kg. but i do try to make him walk.
little_bear
do u experiene any pain with the spotting? i ahd some spotting for first one. try not to walk ard or carry your kid too much.
jeanyard
i may take leave in dec but haven decide yet...but a bit hard to buy clothes when still so early...the clothes will not look nice leh
re crabs

chloe
Dr Han really very nice. he was quite funny. he alwasy ask whether i got MS. i told him a lot since seeing him...he said good good. the more the better. i already lost weight from all the MS but he said good. he's really a very nice person. makes me feel at ease.

hi all, saw my bb's heartbeat at the gynae's yesterday. very happy. bb is now 8 weeks old. Edd 3 july....
hi glitter, maybe can go see around 7/8 weeks. I went see at 5/6 weeks. still can't see heartbeat, only saw the sac. But then again, see early can confirm the pregnancy with doc, and he can start you off with folic acid and vitamins. think it's really up to you.

hi all,
some updates on myself too.
I had some spotting on wed night. so went to see gynae again on thurs morning.
gynae did a scan thru abominal...cannot find heartbeat. but when he do v-scan. can see. he said bb is still very small now. probably around 6 wks only. From the size of the sac it says 6 wks 2 days. Edd should be 15 July.
Glad to see bb heartbeat at least.
But the thing is, my symptoms seem to be decreasing. The bitterness taste in my mouth also not much already and my smell sense also like not so hypersensitive now. Wonder if its normal?

Besides, the fish oil, folid acid, calcium pills we consume. Our diet too can help our foetus and ourselves. Here are some recipes to improve norish blood & its circulation. To all mums who felt cold...
Pork liver Sp w Spinach

600g spinach
150g pork liver

4 cups of water

2. Boil some water in a pot. Put in the ginger slices and pork liver. Cook briefly.
3. Add spinach and bring to boil. Season w salt and Serve.
Spinach is rich in folic acid. Besides participating in the protein metabolism, folic acid also maintains the normal cell division. Pork liver is extremely abundant in iron. Eating pork liver helps regenerate more haemoglobin. Tat's Y it prevents iron-deficient anaemia while promoting synthesis of blood cells in the foetus and replenishing the iron level in the expectant mother.

Hi all,
I just visited the gynae today and was shock to know I am having fraternal(non-identical) twins. Both hubby and I do not have family history of twins. Do anyone of you here who have twins like me, do not have family history on both side yet having a twins?
I am now only at week 5 and the gynae can only find 2 sac without baby heartbeat. I am visiting the gynae again next week. Hopefully by then both sac will have heartbeat...
My EDD date is around mid of July. Nice to meet other mummies here and hope to gain more knowledge and advice from everybody. This is my first time being a mummy and really excited. Moreover I am only prepared for 1 baby yet now is "buy 1 get 1 free".

Hi all,
found out on tue im pregnant... EDD likely on 27 Jul..
Yet to see my gynae but am spotting now.. very light brown & today is the 3rd day of spotting.. Am getting hormone pills fr my gynae. How long does u gal's spotting last? Am a bit worried..
Understand that spotting is likely due to egg implantation if there's no pain or heavy flow.
Even if i c my gynae now there's nothing she can see from the scan..

so qiao!!! haha. are u the older or younger twin? i m the older one
hi peppermint
spotting can be due to implantation like what u said. no particular reason but like what cynn said, if not strong cramping, shd be ok. my first pregnancy also got spotting. no BD, no exercise, no strenous activities.
take care!

Hi all,
it is advisable not to take too much pig liver as it contain Vitamin A (preformed vitamin A from animal tissue),that in high doses may cause birth defects. Vitamin A beta-carotene found in vegetables, carrot are fine.
Article extracted from the Net
--------------------------------
Most women do not have to worry about excess vitamin intake during pregnancy. Women who ingest Vitamin A (retinol or retinyl esters), up to 10,000 IUs per day, should have no concerns regarding increased teratogenic (causing birth defects) risk to their baby-to-be. In addition, beta-carotene as a source of vitamin A has not been shown to be teratogenic any dose.
There may be a population of women who should be alerted to the consequences of ingesting too much of the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D and E. Women are often given prenatal vitamins indiscriminately, without a full dietary assessment. Most prenatal supplements provide about 8,000 IUs. Vitamin A supplements should not exceed 10,000 IU (as retinol or retinyl esters, not beta-carotene) and when foods with a high concentration of vitamin A, for example liver, are ingested frequently, they can contribute to the overall total amount of retinol consumed daily.
The incidence of "Retinoid embryopathy," a syndrome of anomalies involving the face, ear, heart, central nervous system and thymus, is very rare, but has been associated with excessive intake of retinol. The 10,000 IU recommendation is well below any level in which birth defects have been observed.
In summary, if a woman is taking a multivitamin, prenatal vitamin or Vitamin A supplements containing less than 10,000 IU (as retinol or retinyl), or beta-carotene at any dose, there is no evidence of an increase in the risk of malformations in her baby. If she is ingesting any foods high in Vitamin A, she should investigate the amount of vitamin A contained in those food and limit her total daily intake to 10,000 IUs or less.
