LilKmum, my hubby hands on with our son.. he was the one who changed the first diaper actually haha... and we're pretty much hands on with taking care of our son at nite during confinemt last time.. except when he had colic, PIL took over for few hrs at nite to let us sleep.

hopefully now more exp, we can exude the zen feeling so #2 will be a calmer bb!

stephfennie · Mar 19, 2012

LilKmum:
Same, my only motivation is to look forward to tomorrow's checkup after work to see my lil bean

Mine morning i'll felt nausea also, everytime after eating i'll felt nausea liao.. only once won't felt so bad.. So now i'm like so scared of eating, but not eating made me nausea too. so idk what to do either .. sigh!!!

sharon_k · Mar 19, 2012

May: im with you! im drinking ribena, fruit juice... as long as we get enough water and not dehydrate is fine.

Sksf: u're at wk 7? peak period of ms is around wks 6- 8. But there are still some suay ones like me will continue to have ms till end of tri 1.

Pibymummy: hope you are feeling better.

Lets jia you mummies! we are at our mid-way of tri 1.

skinneybeenie · Mar 19, 2012

i checked with my gynae is it normal my sickness seems to just be low appetitie and feel icky n nausea without it amounting to anything.. he jus said dif people dif. as long as bb growing well in scan he is not concerned... i just eat for the sake of eating nowadays... the only food i like is the one my hubby makes!

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Sksf: So do you drink cold drinks most of the time huh.. I scare so I try my best not to drink if I can..

As for puking I can choose to let it out or try to hold them in.. Cos if I wan I can puke out as n when if I feel somethg stuck to make myself feel better.. Cos fm young I hv motion sicknes.. I can endure not to throw out till I see a bin /toilet bowl for quite awhile.. But I try to hold it in as I dun wan to get dehydrated as I know I am already not drink enough water..

skinneybeenie · Mar 19, 2012

May, can try soups? They replenish some salts supply that u lose from puking?

stephfennie · Mar 19, 2012

sharonk:
7w6d. turning 8week tomorrow. My MS only started when i'm 7week onwards.. I'm like damn relax when i'm week6 .. only occasionaly nausea.. but it got worse & serious kind when it turned week7 onwards ;( tomorrow week8 alr.. Urghh..

May:Nope, i drink once a while only, maybe like at night when i take medication then i take it .. or morning take milk then take cold ones .. if not at office normally i'll take hot Longan red dates or ginger tea .. Try to take ginger tea or longan red dates hot one.. not bad actually , those packet one can get it from Fairprice .. heh

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Skinney: So nice.. Yr hubby makes food for you.. Must be yummy tts y u only like them..

Sharon: I dun dare to keep drinking sweet stuffs leh.. I scare high sugar in blood.. Maybe cos last yr when I TTC I went to my previous gynae and she gave me Metformin(a kind of medication for diabetic type 2) even thou I am not diabetic and told me even if preggy I oso need to cont to eat.. So kinda scare tt I will kena diabetic in pregnancy and somethg will happen to my little one..

sharon_k · Mar 19, 2012

May: i see i see. it nvr came across my mind on diabetic. have to watch my diet from now. hehe.

sksf: u brew longan red dates urself every morning?

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Sksf: I dun drink tea.. Maybe I go NTUC look for longan red dates or some other drinks.. I did try to drink the Ribena with less sweet ones.. Taste yucky to me.. End up go back to the normal pack type.. Haiz..

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Skinney: Ya.. Soup is nice.. I rem when I had my MS ard wk6.. I ordered the salted Veg duck soup.. I actually finished it..

Sharon: Cos my frends keep telling me dun take too sweet.. must control sweet intake.. And I actually had a frend had it in her 1st one.. Lucky she got no craving.. Cos she hv to control diet n intake amt.. Dan hv to test her sugar in blood before n after meals.. She hv to see a food nutritionist too.. Abt 1-2 yrs after delivery.. Went check up high sugar in blood came back.. Gona monitor n test blood everyday again.. So now roughly she knws wat she can eat n wat she cant..

sharon_k · Mar 19, 2012

May: wah salted veg duck soup sound nice.
i see. then i have to watch my diet too. been taking sweets whole day trying to curb MS.

Sian ar. no mood to work. I need a bed now. wanna sleep. .

stephfennie · Mar 19, 2012

Sharonk:
No lah, the longan red dates is those instant package kind. haha.

May: Ya, maybe you can try to look for it @ NTUC. haha. I drink hot drinks to smoothe myself down. but as for food. i can't find one that is able to comfort me ;( Shag..

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Sksf: At least you are able to find somethg tt can smooth you dwn.. I cant even think of 1 drink or food tt I crave of to smooth me dwn.. Hope it will be all over.. Cos MS been getting stronger n stronger as the days pass since wk 6.. Really hope it will not follow me over to 2nd trim.. So I can enjoy food again..

strawberry128 · Mar 19, 2012

Sksk & lilkmum, I'm suffering more from 'night sickness' too. Although I feel nauseous throughout the day but at least I can still eat my breakfast n lunch. It's much worse from evening onwards. I'd have so much gastric juices to throw up and could hardly eat. But I'd feel so hungry n I'd have to eat for the sake of eating. Then after I'd puke again. Yucks! I can't wait for this to be over too.

ming8110 · Mar 19, 2012

May: Make your own longan tea. Just add some dried longan and red dates. Pretty tasty and less sweet than the pre-packaged ones

My nausea feels better when I drink really hot water. So I try and take small sips of that ever so often.

My nausea worsens at night too - I start feeling quite poorly from like 5 p.m. onwards and will steadily feel worse.

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Ming: Thanks.. Will try to get some n make myself.. Need to boil them? Or just put in hot water can lao?

strawberry128 · Mar 19, 2012

Sksf, I also like the instant red dates longan drink, especially the 'Super' brand one from supermarket. I drink that almost everyday.
May, sometimes I also try to drink Ribena, the less sweet one but also don't like it.
My favourite meal now is McDonald's fish burger without tartar sauce, cold Sprite soft drink & French fries. Very unhealthy but that's my craving when I can eat.

sharon_k · Mar 19, 2012

skinneybean: really ur HB doing ur confinement? wah he must b a great cook.

at least someone gave up seat for u. Can rest thru out the journey leh.

I hardly met such a nice person. Even i preggy with #1, i hardly get a seat. Most of them act blur and sleep!!!!

sharon_k · Mar 19, 2012

wah our oct baby have a trend! most of us experience night sickness. Haha they must have communicated over at their level. . heheee

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Strawberry: you are not alone.. Initial stage I always eat Mos Fish or Mac Chicken burger.. Cos the Mayo makes my appetite better.. With either grape soda or sprite.. So now is like when ever my hubby ask me wat I wana eat.. When I say duno.. He will ask me Mos or Mac.. Haha.. Yum yum.. You makes me hungry..

stephfennie · Mar 19, 2012

strawberry128:
Hahaha. yeah, i drank that almost everyday too.. but can't drink too much cause will heaty leh .. i getting heaty le .. complexion heaty till start popping pimples

May:I don't really have any food that can smoothe me down either actually.. just that hot water can helps abit .. but as for food... never -.-

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Sharon: Ya lo.. They must have gang up to bully their mummies.. Just like last Friday.. Almost all hit by the MS in office..

keiko_katko · Mar 19, 2012

I have a bad weekend. Bad headache comes on Sat evening and it went on the whole of Sunday. Can't even focus/think well. And I feeling very sleepy throughout the day. Saw most of your symptom, I was like that 2 weeks ago. Evening nausea and total no appetite for dinner. Seem likes my symptom is slightly advance.
The headache that I have was very different from my previous tension headache. The pain comes from the tip of the crown.

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Keiko: Wow.. Bad wkend for u.. Did you take MC to rest today?

sharon_k · Mar 19, 2012

Keiko, my symptoms started early. In fact as early before i tested, i started to feel giddy n etcs which i had nvr exp for my #1.

Individual preg is different. Did gynae give u giddy / headache pills?

keiko_katko · Mar 19, 2012

May No, I din get any MC. Coz even on MC, I will need to clear my work when I return to work. The headache has subsided this morning. But sleepiness is with me. Yawn....
For past two wkend, the symptom will attack me strongly. Luckily, it wkend. not a working day.

keiko_katko · Mar 19, 2012

Sharon No, cos it was the first time I got this headache attack. But, I will check with my gynae when i go for my checkup end this wk. Finally, I could see my bb after 3+ weeks.

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

Keiko: My sym started with tender breast and feeling super cold most of the time.. Till now I am still feeling cold.. But not as bad as before lao.. Nausea, giddy, vomiting at times, sleepless at nite started ard wk5-6 n getting strong as days pass till now.. On n off will hv a gd day with MS attack mild or a bad day tt it is super strong..

So nice to be able to see bb with a wait for 3 wks.. I still hv 3 more wks of waiting.. So makes it total of 6wks no see my bb lao.. Duno y gynae no ask me to go back for checkup in between..

keiko_katko · Mar 19, 2012

May I oso have sore breast and feeling cold most of the time. I'm still feeling cold and its getting worse.
We are also the sleepless night gang.

snu · Mar 19, 2012

my issue no resolution yet.

qns:
MTB,

stephfennie · Mar 19, 2012

SnU:
You can go shops like mothercare/kiddy palace etc. those shops that sells baby stuffs actually did sells baby poster etc

constancet · Mar 19, 2012

Little D
Looking at your list.
Seems like I am the oldest mummy around...

((
37...

constancet · Mar 19, 2012

Regarding MIL / mum helping out on confinement.
I have my own misgivings. Cos if it's my mil or mum helping out, I think i wont be able to rest easily lor. Will feel paiseh to rest for too long and wanna take over baby. But if it's paid help, then different issue bah. I had CL for my first 4. Haven't discussed with HB whether to just depend on maid and ourselves for No 5 or to go for CL again...
But one thing abt family members helping out is, can really save on the expensive CL fees.

ms_lala · Mar 19, 2012

Hey mummies!! I have finally completed my 1st trimester. Hopefully rest of the months will b smooth sailing* keeping my fingers cross* Now nursing a back sprain.

All mummies out there... Hang in there!! Jia you!!

snu · Mar 19, 2012

went to suntec,
marina,
tpy,
all dun have,
thats y come here to ask.

stephfennie · Mar 19, 2012

SnU:
Mothercare? Kiddy Palace? I went to these places have leh :/ Ehh , like that i not very sure le. haha

Ms_Lala:Grats babe! How i envy you~ Wished i'll be able to pass my 1st tri quickly too~

keiko_katko · Mar 19, 2012

Lala: Congrat!!! I'm heading to my 2nd tri end this week too

Constance: agree on your thought about Mum/MIL helping on confinement. I was already intend to do the night shift while my mother do the morning shift. Probably, will ask my hubby to take one wk leave to help out on the first wk of confinement while i can rest for the week. And really, the cost saving is alot. But will still need to pay mum/mil who helping in the confinement as a token of apprecation.

airex · Mar 19, 2012

Strawberry & May - same here!!! Mos and Mac are my best pals now.. Burgers and fries seem to be more appetizing. Mayonaise too. I love the chilli at mos and sweet and sour sauce at mac

keiko_katko · Mar 19, 2012

Actually, i think, my nausea has reduced, but come with new sym like headache and backache. So, really dun feel much different when 2nd tri comes.
Lastly, I realised that I am less focus and can't think that quickly and tend to get very forgetful nowaday. Hope this would recover after giving birth.

snu · Mar 19, 2012

ya,
at least the branches i went to dun have lo
sad.... cos tot can decorate.
marina sq, both mothercare and kiddy are side by side

but bought other things la
hahahah.

mayday80 · Mar 19, 2012

LaLa: So envy you!!! Rest well and recover soon.. 

Constance: I agreed.. If got family to help can save alot on the CL.. But any issue cant scold or complain them.. Look on the bright side.. U r 37 n this is yr no. 5!!!! Think of the age when u have yr no. 1 dan wnt be tt old lao.. You are a mummy which we look up to here..

SnU How did the nego went last wk? Gd:

constancet · Mar 19, 2012

Keiko
Yeah pros and cons lor..
You have any idea how much is CL now?
My last one was during cny.... Super ex.
Dunno abt the current normal rate now.

Caitlin

SnU
Try bookshops. Some have baby posters.
