Yes this afternoon went for first gynae check up.. quite a fatherly doc and he speak fast.. scan show that I have fibroid... but he ask me not to worry and will monitor..

 

[wannaBBs]

hi all, let me know if u didnt receieved the invite to the fb grp.

 

[triplejoy]

Eileen, my previous pregnancy I had fibroids too but my gynae oso asked me not to worry. I guess they will monitor and usually will shrink in size as pregnancy progress.

Amazing miracle, still no fb invites wor...

 

[hopesheep]

Hi sisters,

Do you encounter constipation? Mine is 3 days once even though I drink milk and take apple/orange.

 

[triplejoy]

Thanks mummies for sharing the gynae charges. Looks like most are charging above $100 and its the norm. Phew! It's so much more costly then when i had my firstborn!

Oh so glad to heard this.. I was so worry when doc told me this.. although doc ask not to worry but still will keep thking abt it..

 

[sunshine_smile]

Hi sisters,

Do you encounter constipation? Mine is 3 days once even though I drink milk and take apple/orange.

Yes constipation is really jialat!! Mine is also every 3days now... very sian.. taking lots of fruits n water alrdy.

 

[MistyCloud]

take chia seeds with you water, it's high in fiber.

i've been taking that before conceiving too so just continue on.

 

[triplejoy]

Benefits of Chia seeds here... http://www.livestrong.com/article/486314-can-pregnant-women-eat-chia-seeds/

I have been taking Active Fiber... so far so gd cos last time very bad constipation.

 

[sunshine_smile]

Thanks! Seem like chia seed has vit A in it... i tout vit A not advisable for preggy ah?

 

[triplejoy]

Sunshine... think its best to call your gynae and check if its safe to consume the chia seeds. Just to be on the safe side ya!

 

[MistyCloud]

Opps, really ah? I better stop then.

But Vit A is still needed in pregnancy, not in the form of retinol though.

 

[MistyCloud]

Before I visit my gyne on 28 April, should I just take folic acid supplement and stop the multivit? What did you gals do?

 

[Constantine]

suggest u wait till at least 6wk+ to c gynae? cos if too early cant see will get more worried.
tts what happen to me.
keep urself busy in the meantime.

Totally agree with sunshine, dont go too early, like me, worries until nw, it been close to 2 weeks and i have to worry till 21 Apr to see my gynae...

 

[sunshine_smile]

I tink some said multivit gt folic acid rite? M only taking folic acid.

 

[Constantine]

hi all, let me know if u didnt receieved the invite to the fb grp.

[hopesheep]

I am only nearing 7 weeks but my stomach look like 12 weeks... sure cant hide from colleagues.

 

[MistyCloud]

I'm going to buy folic acid supplement later then. will look for a 800mg one.

Misty cloud, you can start taking folic even trying to conceive. No harm to start early.

 

[MistyCloud]

Hihi, I did but it was in my multivit. 800mcg. Now with so many concerns as to what I can eat and not, I better stop and just concentrate on folic acid before I visit the gynae on 28 April.

BTW, does anyone know if Dr Heng Tung Lan i good with births with complications? Hubby and I are considering her and maybe checking out another gynae,

So far I heard folic will be sufficient till gynae suggest others.

[triplejoy]

i had a normal pregnancy n delivery, can't comment on complication cases. you might want to check the other threads in smh... think there are a no. of threads on gynae reviews.

that's cheap... i got mine from GNC, 16.95 for 100 tabs.

Hi Miracle, i have not received the FB add yet...can add me again, thk u so much!!!

 

[MistyCloud]

I bought folic acid at 18+ a bottle at guardian just now. Its 800mcg. The cheaper guardian brand one is 5mg. So I thought just take recommended dosage even if it's more ex for less dosage.

 

[triplejoy]

Hi Amazing Miracle, I just checked my fb and the groups but still no invite to join the group. Anyway someone else can add us? FB is much easier to chat... Haha

 

[sunshine_smile]

5mg is gd enuf if im not wrong...

 

[michiyochin]

5mg is gd enuf if im not wrong...

I read that 5mg is in fact 5000mcg considering that 1mg is 1000 mcg.

 

[WalnutLover]

I read that 5mg is in fact 5000mcg considering that 1mg is 1000 mcg.

I don't understand why the huge difference in price. The person at unity says it's because the one by housebrand is made in malaysia. I took the cheaper alternative as excess, I heard, is normally passed out through urine. And folic acid = folic acid = folic acid. No one has justifed to me the price for the blacksmores. Think I am cheap lol. In a nutshell..

 

[triplejoy]

This is from Guardian. Same as the one my gynae used to dispense and very cheap. $2.75 for 50 tablets.

 

[ahmeilover]

Hi walnut, how's dr Regina?? Tot of seeing her... A lot of gynae appt all fully booked.... I am first timer... Dunno anything... Super tired.. Leg soft like jelly...
