[nickvan]

hi mummies and daddies,

just found out that my wifey is pregnant with our 2nd child, edd early to mid oct. Seen by dr paul tseng. As compared to our 1st baby gal, my wife is having morning sickness, bad taste for food. Our 1st gal, all was well, not much change in her... anyone can help me suggest anything that i can get to ease my wife's hardship? thanks a million.

Longing for a nice and relaxing holiday but concerned about the travel risks?

There will be a 2 day 1 night retreat for mummies at our center. We will have practicing nurse/midwife from the top hospital in Singapore to brief mummies on antenatal knowledge during this retreat. Mummies can come together for some sharing, relaxation and peer support. Meals will be specially prepared for all pregnant mummies and it will be a good time to come relax, rejuvenate and enjoy your 'me-time' before your little bundle of joy arrives. Feel free to contact me if you need more information! :biggrin:

Hi mommies.. im hving terrible headaches! Thank god for no nausea but the headache is affecting my lifestyle..
Any remedies???

 

[Naangfaa]

Wahhh...I must go get e bands soon too! Ms really sucks!!

Congrats nickvan and welcome! We did discuss abt morning sickness..for me sugar free organic sweets and some chilli..the rest water w lemon I think, those old skool sour sweets and many more actually!^_^

for headaches, my occupational therapist did teach me to massage e sides of ur thumb (where e middle bone is). If it's migraine, she said usually U can feel a knot at e back of ur neck..juz massage tt area to ease the knot and ull feel better.

It worked for me and e latest I have discovered is to cover ur right nostril and take deep breaths using ur left nostrils only for 5 mins..it crazily worked too! but err I have no scientific explanation for it..hehe..but we practice tt in yoga too..so I guess it must be related somehw!heheheh!

i have headaches too, and stuffy nose at night..i cannot sleep well.
i was thinking of buying a cold compress to remedy my headache..read that it will work..will try and let you girls know!

 

[joyfulmum]

I think drinking plenty of water helps abit.. maybe cos we pee more often thats y we kinda dehydrate? And for me,the headache lasts the whole day but on certain days disappear! And i realise when i clear my bowels,my tummy hurt so much as though ive constipated for a long time! Do u gals hv such symptom too?

i made an appt this sat to visit my gynae this sat for the first time, got so many questions to ask him!

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I've been tested positive last Sunday and I am now in 5 weeks. I had some pregnancy symptoms : feeling nausea for once , Stomach bloated, diarrhea, feeling hungry at all time, tired and also cramps @ lower abdomen (for on-and-off for few days) and it really worries me. I've tested 3 times when my menses was late for 3 days - 1 time negative, 2nd time using Predictor (have faint lines at test zone) and finally get a good one ClearBlue digital to test for more reflective positive results.

Went to see GP yesterday and informed her that i've been tested positive. I was surprised by her reaction - telling me that i'm sorry your company don't cover for the ultrasound. I told her that I can pay the scanning charges my own! She just ignored me and didnt even confirm my pregnancy! I just wasted my trip to see her. I swear i would not go there again. I didnt give up and tried to book gynae nearby my house @ Tampines and managed to consult gynae. Did the scanning but can't see anything and didnt find any usual things nearby my both uterus (i'm just worried of etopic pregnancy)! . Doc asked me whether i'm on folic acid and should continue taking it. He gave me some pills to stabilise/hold the womb. Charges are considered reasonable with blood test done as well. Got to go back on Thurs to do blood test to check again. Dr will only see me on next week

Hi dear, I drink ginger tea together rid of the excessive winds. It works on me. Also try not to let yourself hungry for too long. Snack a bit else your stomach will again feel discomfort with winds.
