Hiya ladies, just wondering how u ladies deal with morning sickness?? Sometimes it gets so strong that I can't stand to stomach everything :( but when it's just slight nausea, it gets better once I eat something light... It's kinda screwed up, no? :err:

Hi Moonjellie! For me, my MS is rather manageable..but when it comes, i'll try not to think abt it..then take something like warm milk or some small pieces of bread, or even some oranges (i feel the smell of oranges-citrus make it better) or a sour plum...i'll have these ready on hand when it comes..so far ok...i didn't puke...

I think the impt thing is not to have empty stomach cos it's acidic and causes reflux..eat something...how many weeks are you now :)

moonjellie, not to scare you..some ladies i've read abt have MS all the way thru their pregnancy! But mostly MS will peak in week 10 or 11, then taper off in trimester 2 .. but it's all individual lah..cos different ppl different bodies..

I am 8 week now exactly :) Have you decided/found any gyne yet not? When's your 1st scan?

Zaclin, i've already done a pte blog since a few years back while i was ttcing...but what you've suggested is interesting as well, as it's a great way to document and record your pregnancy journey on paper :)

Hi chrish, I hope not! But I do notice if I eat small meals regularly I can keep the nausea at bay. I had my week 5 scan last week & saw a little gestation sac :) will be going for my week 7 scan to chk for heartbeat next week! I have a gynae whom I've been goin to for years so I'm sticking with her. 8 weeks.... Wow, you're just 1 more mth away to your second trimester! I can't wait to get there myself too! :D

Dun worry mrsliaw, you might be one of those symptom free lucky ladies! Or maybe it will all hit you in the next few weeks! How's your 1st scan? :)

Hard to say its good or bad... I'm eating so many small meals a day I'm getting sick of food and I have a feeling I'll turn into a big round ball before the end of 9 months! T.T worse still, my hubby refuse to let me exercise at all for fear of accident....
Oh! your gynae didn't tell you when he would need to scan you again? That's curious... I thot the doctors would always state when they will next see you again. Dun be nervous! Your "dangerous" period is almost over! :D

Dear all mom-to-be,

Anybody experience cramp? like sharp cramp that last only a while? Back pain?

I am in the 5th week, no MS yet but having cramp at the tummy and back area. Is this normal?

Hi june2012, I was also having quite a bit of cramping at 4-5 weeks. But it comes & goes. I asked my gynae abt it and she said its normal to have a bit of cramping. As long as there's no bleeding, u shd be ok. Have you gone or a scan yet? :)

I thought and my pregnancy application (according to my past 2 edd) shown that I suppose to be in week 12 but when I went for my gynae checkup, U/S show that am already week 13. Really don't understand. So now I week 12 or 13?

System is different than in SIngapore (im located overseas) but just got message that i'll be seeing the midwife on 30th Jan...but no scans...they don't recommend scans here too often :(

I don't think we have a clue...why not ask your gynae to be sure...

understand that the scan is an estimation of +/- 7 days.
sometimes its kind of confusing, isn't it..
