Chit Chat for MTB in 1st trimester

[chrish]

hey ladies..

started this thread for chatting anything under the sun for anyone in 1st trimester..

This is my 1st time being preggy and im nervous..sometimes, i still do not believe that it's a positive on the hpt!

It's like sometimes i don't really feel anything then MS comes and goes..craving for salty and spicy/sourish food..

 

[xiaodaisy]

congrats !! enjoy ur pregnancy =)

Thanks Xiao Daisy! How many children you have? What would you recommend a MTB in 1st trimester to do/not to do?

 

[xiaodaisy]

i'm expecting my #3 baby now .. =)

during 1st trim , most impt is to rest well and be extra careful as its not stable yet ..

r u coping with morning sickness? is everything fine for u ?

 

[chrish]

wow! 3rd bb! Peifu peifu!

I've been trying to rest as much as i could..do you feel annoyed over small things when in 1st trimester? Im feeling like a 'mama-to-be-zilla' these days..barking over small things :embarrassed:

MS is ok for me i don't really feel too much just queasy feeling and a tad bloated sometimes..but i found that i like to eat salty/sourish/spicy foodstuffs more than sweet stuffs..

I find that I get irritated or pissed off for no reason too...
No major MS at all... Just a little bloated...

After I started taking folic acid, I have terrible constipation (have not released myself for 5 days now) :embarrassed:.. Anyone with similar problem?
I ate yogurt and drink prune juice every night but it is not working!

Another bizarre thing, my hunger pang will just come out of nowhere and I need to find food IMMEDIATELY otherwise I will get agitated. So far, the hunger will strike at the same time (9am, 12pm, 6pm)... So I must make sure that I have food on hand when it strikes...

Anyone has similar experience?

Zaclin29,

try drinking more water and adding more fibre rich food in your diet maybe helps? YEs! I have hunger pangs too! Odd hours and have to eat means have to eat..can't wait..will get annoyed abt anything and anyone! haha..the wonders of being preggy..My timing different but somewhat every 2-3 hrs! Try to munch on some biscuits, dried fruits, fruits or water/milk..it works for me..so far ok..manageable how many weeks are you? Scan already?

I feel that I've been drinking really alot of plain water... this excluding milk and prune juice....
So far, I dont snack in between meals and I find that eating biscuits or fruits doesnt help... haha... i must eat a full meal...
It's like telling me "Hello! It's lunch now.. Why are u giving me biscuits only?!"... haha

Im abt 6wks now.. Going for my scan on 9Jan....

How abt u?

Oh i see..if it's still constipated, consult doc and see what he/she advice..i've read that it's very common in 1st and last trimester..Some docs prescribe 'luctus' or something like that to let poo easy. Haha..no choice..things to do for our bbs..no choice lor..if really hungry can't starve mah ahaha..

These days experienced dizziness, i wonder if it's my diet which is lacking iron...

Cos i don't eat pig liver, what other food is rich in iron?
