vivi,

welcome. shd be ard 5th to 8th wk? i also not sure liao...

 


Welcome Vivi...



I am in my 6th week, this morning's scan can detect BB's heartbeat already.

 
crystal

i agree its sort of like engorgement feeling isnt it. i also thought it was kind of early @ this stage. so weird huh? yes, massaging it helped a little for me. its on & off though. when you visit the gynae u shld ask. i am not due for visit anytime at e moment

 
vivi

frankly i cant rem when we can hear baby's heartbeat. but some mommies have gone for scan and can hear it already [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi mummies,



Just wanna check how many of us take Duphaston? Is it safe? I took for 2 days and i felt completely miserable - more nauseous, tired, dizzy.



I don't have spotting so I am wondering if can stop taking. I heard it's more for mummies doing IVF. True?

 
Hi applepie,



I was given Duphaston today. told to take the full course. Pharmacist warned me of possible nausea and dizziness already. Also give Vit B6 to prevent nausea.



I guess Duphaston is to stablise early pregnancy cause I also not spotting and such...

 
applepie - i was given Duphaston too and has been taking 2x a day as i have cramps on and off. this is to stablise the pregnancy.

 
i see... i was given on the basis i had a MC before this. really don't feel like taking it.



Mummies, what kind of tonic is good in 1st trimester?

 
Applepie/Ecym - Did your gynaes explain why you needed to take Duphaston? I don't think it's necessary to take Duphaston if you're not spotting etc. In our mothers' time, they didn't take all these drugs and still produced lots of healthy babies. Do it naturally as far as you can - especially if the meds are making you feel sick! Don't we have enough problems as it is? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Just my 2cts.



Vivi: Most pple can hear a heartbeat by Week 7 (i.e. five weeks from conception). But sometimes you can even pick one up as early as Week 6.



Crystal: Yeah that's normal - sore breasts! In fact, some people say that was the first symptom they noticed.



Hope everyone is doing well. Hugs for the mummies with MS - it will pass soon, so just gotta hold on for a few more weeks.

 
dear all, for my 1st, i encounter spotting too, but wasnt given any other medicine except folic acid & mutlit vitamins.. & seem like now alot of mtb here are taking Duphaston so really wonder is it necessary or is it a trend now..

 
I also find it weird that the gyane actually give me 2 weeks worth of Duphaston. Keke maybe I shouldnt take them if they made me feel worse. I'm flying off next week dun want that medi to dampen my trip...

 
Applepie,

is birdnest & chicken essence good? are they supposed to be BU3? i heard most soups are good [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Tabbykat

Generally the birdnest and chicken essence are okay.

However 1st trimester better dun anyhow take herbal soup.

 
Shirley,



I encounter spotting during my 1st trimester, was given Utrogestan 100mg, advice by my gynae to take it for 2 weeks, 2 pills for twice a day. Not cheap.

 
I just took one duphaston to "confirm" my side effects. Really spoilt my evening - nauseas n tired and no moood. Will see gynae this thurs and ask him if i can stop. ECYM, where r u going for trip?



I heard birdnest is best eaten in 2nd n 3rd trimester. Anything in 1st trimester is a "waste". Dunno how true...

 
Hi Ecym,



Wow..so many days did not log in .. and now there are so many preggies.



Thank you Ecym for collating the table.



For me, should be child no.1 as i have M/C last yr. Correct?

 
Hi Mommies!!

tested positive 2 weeks back and saw/had 1st ultrasound scan on Monday with Dr Paul Tseng @ TLC.

I am now 6weeks2days [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] could see flickering on ultrasound screen but couldn't pick up hb yet. 1st time preggie for me...its been ok so far... no MS... was more tired last week then this week.. is it strange? almost feel like normal - pre preggie ;) any one feeling like me? My EDD is 10 July 2010 @ TMC ;)

 
Hi Cindy,



Same as you. I do not have much MS except tiredness and slight headache.



I think diff ppl react differently..

 
Hi Applepie

If food is taken during the 1st trimester it will be to the benefit of the mum. for baby as well only starting 2nd trimester .

 
Hi Cindy, Congrats!



Agree with Megane, diff ppl react differently. Also 1st preggie and 2nd preggie also can be different.

My 1st preggie- so much appetite , 2nd preggie no appetite at all, only want to eat mostly vegetable and fruits ( I am more of a meat eater actually) during the first trimester. Until my Gynae warn me my Iron level is low, ask me if I am vegeterian?! I force myself to eat more meat later on.

 
Hi Megane.

I think the 2nd nurse did that. But I still bruise. I think I'm a person who bruise easily. But the bruise this time round is not as bad as the first jab.



Hi Shirley.

My body is not producing enough hormone(progesterone) for the baby ... progesterone will provide the womb with nutrition so when the baby got attached to the womb, they can get the nutrition from there. Gynae also say progesterone will help to relax the womb so that you will experience no cramping. So I have to take pills and injection to increase the hormone which my body can't produce enough.



Hey Crystal.

Maybe your little one is jealous. Scared when Baby come, you will pay more attention to the baby than her. Maybe try to give her more assurance then she might be less clingy.



For me, I have painful nipples. Breast not so much. When bathing and brush across the nipples.. will feel a sting like that. Guess it's normal.



Hi Ladies.

I just had my 3rd blood test result out yesterday. Hope this is the last blood test I had to take. Quite painful to draw blood.



The result shows a slight drop in my progesterone level from 168 to 138 but my beta hcg level had increase from 561 to 1360 which is good cause baby is growing well. Nurse told me gynae say everything is normal.



This Saturday to go in for a scan. She ask me to empty my bladder before going for the scan. But I thought doing ultrasound needs a full bladder?



I am down with flu. Urghhhh!!! I hope it won't affect baby much. Just seen a doctor and given some medication which he claim to be safe for pregnancy. Hope it go away soon.

 
dear all,



thsanks for your explanation... me 2nd time mummy but the gap too long (7 yrs)... had forgotten bout most of the things... my appetite super big now .. haiz had put on alot of weight...

 
apple-pie - i going to sarawak for a few days.



all - i decided not to take the Duphaston. Just take the folic acid tablets and fish oils... Trying to be rebellious. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



These few days appetite really sucks. Crave for sweet stuff like fruits instead...

 
Hi ecym,



i think it best to check with the gynae before stopping any medicine.. there might be any reason for them to give you the medicine too... it a life we are talking about.. so better play safe..

 
Shirley - dun worry. I'm not stopping the medicine. I have not started my medicine (just given to me yesterday) and I felt okay. No spotting and such. Will bring the medi along.

 
hi ecym,



my details:



Edd:7 July

Dr : Dr LN Sim

Hospital : TMC

Child #2



thanks



about duphaston, my gynae decided not to give me as i'm experiencing pretty bad morning sickness now so she said no need... but i took it when i had my 1st child cos i got m/c before... so i presume its ok not to take it if there's no spotting

 
Hi,



I would like to join this thread.

Currently about 6weeks plus. 3rd child.

Having very bad 'evening sickness" now. Very much more worse than my previous 2 pregnancies.

waking up almost every night at 12am -2am to puke. anyone had the same problem?[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
mine 1st is a boy.. now still dun know yet.. hoping for a girl.. hahaah but both girl or boy is still ok for me... going for scan tomorrow to confirm the EDD.. hopefully everything fine...

 
Shirley,



Hai ya! Forgot I join the you'll only know the gender when about 4 month. Mine is EDD Feb.



I am sure everything will be fine for you.



With such big age gap (6-7) years, I am concern if my two kids can play or interact well next time.

 
Hi Ann,

you are lucky you only got a bruise! I go a big patch of rashes, the size of my palm on the area where i had the 3 injections. The rash appeared 1 week after my injections. Going to ask Dr Fong why tmr. Going for my 2nd scan tmr....1st scan didn't see anything.



Wish me luck! I'm so nervous....

 
welcome celine, sugar...



Thanks sugar for your info.



Hi Celine - that sounds really bad, have you mention that to your gynae maybe they will give you some medi to calm those puking.

 
seems like a lot of mummies has know their EDD. im egaer to know mine too. I will have my scan tmr! very excited [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] wonder if i can see the heartbeat tmr??

 
Hi all,



Can i join this thread??



Jus tested positive this morning. Think I'm only at 4 weeks +.. on wk 5 now I guess... This is my first time.. totally lost... Am I suppose to go see a GP to reconfirm first or I can go directly to see a gynae.. shld I be seeing a gynae asap or wait till 8 wks?? am lost.

 
congrats noknok, celine, sugar!



nok nok - since u already tested positive with a pregnancy kit then u should most prob confirm that you are pregnant[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] It is indeed too early to scan anything at 4weeks+ but you should now book an appointment to see a gynae which normally the appointment date will come in 1-2 weeks time n by then should be able to scan something and make sure ur pregnancy moving smoothly.

 
hi ecym,



my gynae gave me some tablets for the puking, but dun seems to work for me. I got feeling MS is going to be progressing from bad to worse. For my 1st child, its not too bad. But my 2nd one MS start from 7th week until 16 week. This 3rd one seems to be even faster. Week 5 already MS.

 
Hi Celine, sound very xinku for u now.. moreover u puke in the middle of the night and ur sleepness will be disturbed. try to drink more warm water and have more small meals rather then 3 full meals.If puking persist like this every night then better hightlight to ur gynae again n see if he can prescribe other medicine to make u feel better a not.

 
Hey littlemay.



That's bad. Rashes and palm size somemore. Better ask Dr Fong what's wrong.



I am going to clinic tomorrow too for my progesterone injection. But probably lunch time.



My first scan is this Saturday. Can't wait for it to see if I can see BB. Hey.. what type of scanning Dr Fong is using? How come nurse ask me to empty my bladder before going for scanning. I thought ultrasound is best done with full bladder?

 
Hi Mommies, been not very active recently. Because feeling very not good everyday. How I wish we can faster skip to 2nd trimester!!!!

 
Hi mummies,



so many new names joining our list!



Noknok, congrats! Don't need to see a GP. As Astro_gal mentioned, best to call up gynae of your choice to make an appointment to see him/her.



Appetite:

Mine has been see-sawing. One day I can totally go without lunch and have a light dinner. And at 1am I will be so hungry, I will pester my husband to make instant noodles for me :D



Cant stand the smell of cooked rice now. But scoffing down wholemeal bread with cold margarine, and downing lots of orange juice & soymilk. Weird tastebuds, eh? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
orh.. okie.. thanks.. now to go search for gynae.. haha..



I realised that I had been craving for spicy soups.. but no matter how much chilli padi I put into my soup, it's not spicy enough.. something is really wrong with my taste bud..

 


hello noknok...



I also have craving for strong favour food.... spicy and sweet stuff for me!
