Hello mothers!!
Wow the thread is moving at an amazing rate! I spent at least 10 mins reading through all the post!!Haha..How have everybody been?!!
Dear Eon and Milo, yep..thats the company for you..Where do you think they make so much money from right? There was not a single ounce of empathy from the HR department when I spoke to them abt the pregnancy..Nonchalantly, they say, YOU MUST RESIGN..Good riddance I'll say..I just miss shopping overseas..Things are so cheap..especially baby stuff..regret not stocking up..Oh well.. Eoneon, no sunny side up!! Eggs must be well cooked and harden..So gotten succumb to other cravings..No Sunnies!!Haha..
Dear Ling, like you I wake up in the middle of the night to pee and it takes me quite a while to get back to sleep..Yah,it was never like this before i got preggie..I usually sleep like a pig and very very rarely wake up in the middle of the night.. I think we are normal..Almost 80% of the moms here also experience this..so we are safe..haha..
Dear Feimei,yeah sure you can get a scan on your first visit already..Just that what you see will vary depending on the week you are prganant at..If its at your 7th week my love, you shld be able to hear bb's heartbeat already!!!That shld be oh so wonderful!! Im going back to listen to my bbs heartbeat on my 7th week too!! Oh yeah, with regard to the folic acid, I agree with Nate you gotta start it asap..Its important to help in the formation of bbs bones...If you can get hold of the tablets yet, start on the powdered milk Dumex mamil, I bought from NTUC..They have folic acid and other nutrients..
Dear PSH and Eoneon, i found this online on the sleeping position..
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/sleepingpositions.html
What are the best sleep positions?
The best sleep position during pregnancy is "SOS" (sleep on side). Even better is to sleep on your left side. Sleeping on your left side will increase the amount of blood and nutrients that reach the placenta and your baby. Keep your legs and knees bent and a pillow between your legs.
If you find that you are having problems with back pain, use the "SOS" position and try placing a pillow under your abdomen as well.
If you are experiencing heartburn during the night, you may want to try propping your upper body with pillows.
In late pregnancy you may experience shortness of breath; try lying on your side or propped up with pillows.
Dear lena, thanks for the info on the hormone pills..I can heave a sigh of relief already!! I also feel very emotional and tempermental recently lah..got my hubby fuming..But I cant seem to control it sometimes so I told my husband to be patient with me whenever I do get a lil bit more overbearing [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Im trying to stay happy and not worry abt our fianacial woes but it does hit me every now and then..Oh well, worrying only give you something to do but doesnt solve the problem..So i just gotta keep my head up and trust God and my hubby.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I think its a surge in hormones tats cause havoc on our emotional wellbeing, dont worry too much, everything will be ok!
Dear Cynthia, I sleep very little these days too..and feel quite energetic sometimes..I wake up rather early which is so unusual before pregnancy.haha..But I do feel tired intermittenly..So I guess thats pretty normal too?
Dear Cynthia, oh man..cold milk not good ah??Oops I been drinking cold soya milk almost everyday!Haha..Okok..if thats the case I better watch in cold milk intake...Thanks for highlighting!
Dear Natem, I think its never too late to see the gynae as long as you feel fine..My sis in law didnt even know she was pregnant until her 3th month..so for her first trimester, she basically went abt doing her normal things..baby girl came out well and healthy still [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] As long as ou feel fine I think its safe to see the gynae later.even better cos you'll get to see more from the scan!
Ok dearies,catch you ladies a lil later..gotta run!! eh eh..no running...I'll walk..haha..
