cheryl, yes. For my #1, I have the frequent urination prob too, even gotta wake up in the middle of the night to wee....My gynae explained that it could be due to some pressure on the bladder.
donkeymami,
I probably into my 5th or 6th weeks now. As I am also a very light sleeper, every slight noise (e.g. if my son's little beansprout pillow moves), I can wake up already.
fabbie,
Yeah, I also fart alot now coz of the gas in stomach. Sometimes can be so embarrassing....

mummies,
which gynae are you all seeing? JTS, I heard from my gynae's assistant that if this is your first preg or if you have previous miscarriage or abortion before, then better see gynae soonest possible. Else, if this is your #2 onwards, can arrange to see gynae in week 7/8 also nevermind.

Hi everyone, I just joined this forum, so nice to have other MTBs to share things with!
According to the online due date calculator, my EDD is 1 or 2 Aug 2009. This means I'm at the 6wk mark. Will probably go see the gynae next week. This is baby #1, so am pretty excited!
Symptoms so far: SUPER appetite! Unlike other women who experience nausea and cannot eat, I only experience nausea if I DON'T eat. Sometimes I have to eat every 2hrs, and sometimes in the middle of the night.
I also have problems sleeping as well as I used to. Does anyone know why?

Hi all MTBs,
Just tested +ve 2 days ago and am about 4.5wks preg! Dunno how to calculate EDD coz cant really remember the actual date of my 1st menses. Can the gynae advise? I estimated its either 7th or 8th Aug. =)
I hve more or less decided on Dr Joycelyn Wong from TMC but sadly, she will be away till 3rd Jan, which is too late so ended up going for alternative gynae tmr.
Today I noticed spotting...izzit normal? Though have heard that its hormone change or somethng but m still worried. Hope all is fine...
My symptoms include
1. feeling hungry easily but yet cant eat much
2. will wake up in the middle of nite and cant zzz well, then feeling very tired at work
3. menstrual cramps feeling
4. sore breasts
Hope to share information with all of you during our pregnancy journey! =)

EDD: 6 Aug 09
Gynae: Mary Rauff (but 1st appt is 14 Jan)
Hosp: NUH
# of child: 2
Gender.of Current: M
Location: Bukit Batok
No. of Weeks: 5
Donkeymami, you also bukit batok? Where do you live? Wanna meet up? heh heh...
I'm a SAHM, anyone else also?
General cramps are normal cos it's just a sign that the uterus is growing.
Galgl688, my last preg, I also could feel nausea a week before my period was due so dun worry. It's normal.
Last preg, I was miserable with MS till 3rd trimester, frequent fainting spells and couldn't eat anything but crackers and ovaltine for two whole months. Hospitalised twice also! I pray that this one will be better. So far so good, I only have increased appetite and nothing else. I only have some difficulty falling asleep cos I've been very excited about my preg and all! Silly me...
As for the previous bad experience, I can't say my opinion is the authority cos a lot of pple have all praises for him. It is a mismatch of style I think. He was super efficient and effective but I prefer a the more consultative and the not so "gan chiong" type. So I asked around and heard from my friend that Mary Rauff is the kind that I like. So I'm willing to spend the money and wait so long for the 1st appt...

fabbie, ur description is so farnie!!!!!!
hey, i read that usually MTM will experience constipation, i am the opposite leh, i feel like going to remove my bowels more often leh, and its not just a feeling of.. i really do go...
its not diarrhoea or really hard stools.. just soft stools, colour is not a concern..
think i should bring this up to my gynae?
Cos i read that in 3rd trimester, prostaglandin (hormone) is relased to prepare the cervix and dilate it, this causing mummies to poo more....
should i be concerned?

wow, am very happy to see this thread so active....
sunnyduck, violetta, doris, all new mummies here,
welcome! yeah, am hooked to this forum eversince I found out about this.
fabbie,
you're so funny to describe the walk-fart thingy but that's exactly what I experience at times too.
Cheryl,
Yes, especially when it was the first experience and #1, I bought quite a lot actually and some of the privicard is lifetime membership. Yeah, we can go shopping together if you are ok.
BabyS,
Continue to monitor your symptoms. Actually, I'm like you, I used to move my bowels only once a day. Since I tested +ve, I had to move my bowels at least twice a day now.
MTB,
Just an advice that you should start taking folic acid.

hi all... my symptoms are similar to most: sluggishness, bloatedness, tendency to let out air from behind, waking up at night to pee. So far no morning sickness... at first, feel hungry easily, but nw appetite gone down. Jacyln, my mom's gynae was DR Rauff too... she's still seeing her for her annual body checks. always comlains to me abt the long waits. heh, i guess that's one reason i did not consider going to her. but i suppose the long waits are testimony of how gd and popular the doc is. =)

babys, i also taking same FA like u...i took one tablet a day..i thk it's sufficient.
Hi, I read in a book that 5mg of folic acid is sufficient for mothers. Any excess will be flushed out of the system anyway, and we also get folic acid from our foods as long as there's variety in your diet.
I have been feeling a little crampy since yesterday. I know it's expected but it makes me a bit nervous anyway... gotta wait till gynae visit next week to check properly!

So confused about the mcg and mg...will ask the gynae later if i should continue taking my current folic acids or to take from doc.
Sunnyduck, i feel a little crampy too recently and yesterday see spotting....thats y i switched my appt date from tue to today. My mum said its normal but MIL said not normal....made me so worried now....
Btw, has anyone tell their friends or colleagues about your pregnancy during the 1st tri?

I didnt intend to tell my colleagues till i can at least see the heartbeat (not pan tang), but thanks to my boss, everyone knows liao.. not that she purposely, but she said out loud when i informed her "why u all take turns one!!" then my colleagues outside her office heard liao.. haha.. but they never ask me.
I told some of my closer colleagues, cos sometimes i used to do b4, i cant do liao and need their help, so i told them... (and some of my close online friends, cos they are mummies too, so can get some advice from them)
oh and my mum found out also, cos she log into my web page on accident and she saw the post that i set private for some friends.. but she promise not to tell anyone and will act surprised when i tell them.. hahaha...
My ILs dont know yet...
but so sad leh, i think i really look fatter liao cos one of my colleaqgues just now (who didnt hear my boss's declaration) asked pointed to her tummy, looking at me and asked if i was pregnant.. I was just wearing a loose shirt and not even maternity wear, and i asked her "huh.... i starting to look fat liao ah.." ahhaah...

BabyS, I think I also look fatter! Although I was not skinny to begin with (got slight belly but definitely not overweight) I think my belly looks v obvious now! And my boobs have definitely also grown (this one hubby quite pleased about 
).
How can my tummy already have grown so fast? Unless it's my super appetite lor, which I'm attempting to control.
I have only told my mother so far, but I think I need to tell others soon. I am actually supposed to go to BKK over X'mas to see a friend who's living there. Bought air ticket and everything already. Now I'm not sure if I should still go, and if I don't then I definitely have to explain to her why...

I only told 2 close colleagues as I may need help to carry some heavy stuffs...or in case i dont feel too gd and at least there are ppl who know.
Now is I dunno how to tell my boss coz I felt guilty as I am only with the company for 1/2 yr. Not sure if she would mind...
My ILs and parents know already coz they can then advise me on what are the dos and don'ts....
I intend to tell my close frens after my check up later....only when after 1st tri then will officially announce....
BabyS, thanks for the info, feel much better now...talk to u gals tonite! M going off now! =)

My LMP is 18 Oct but i ovulated abt 1 week late i think. Tested postive on CD34. Gynae said i'm abt 5.5weeks.
I also not sure if she's really excited or wanna show off. She likes to tell her relatives how many grandchildren she has compared to them and all boys. I already have a boy and she said she hope my 2nd one also boy!
