and as i remember i didn't have any morning sickness etc.. only food cravings! i craved for watermelon and green mango with the first and 2nd pregnancy but now orange fruit and sad to say I had stretchmarks with 2nd and first pregnancy eventhough i used strecthmark lotions and olive oil everyday, i gues is case to case basis... :001_302:

My first pregnancy too.. =) I have booked the first gynae appointment somewhere in 2nd week of Feb, as recommended by the nurses. However, my GP has given me folic acid to be taken daily, which is supposed to be good.
So, I think you should see one soon to get that too! =)

the cramping feeling is normal...it is something like menses cramp, but a slight mild cramp only. if it gets too much, do see a doctor. watch out for spotting or any bleeding too.
if not, mild cramps are normal because the womb is making space for a new life inside.
can start to apply strech mark cream already from now. it helps to start early.
most of us usually detect pregnancy at ard 6 weeks. can visit gynae asap to get more info and confirm although the heartbeat can only be seen at 8 weeks.
also, if some of you have not seen a gyane and are thinking of waiting a few more weeks, do go GNC and buy folic acid to take. It is impt to take Folic acid during first few months.
Its friday and weekend! happy weekend girls!
rest well and have fun!
by the way, i guess you gals may know too.. but i just say for kiasu... hehehe..
cannot eat half boiled eggs, raw food, and try not to do heavy housework.

That's great Felicity! Hahaha... i think my husband same case as yours... he seems to be in disbelief for a while. Keeps asking me if the pregnancy is confirmed. I think it only dawned on him the last week that we are REALLY having a baby & he went all round spreading the happy news
Hahaha... i think my husband same case as yours... he seems to be in disbelief for a while. Keeps asking me if the pregnancy is confirmed. I think it only dawned on him the last week that we are REALLY having a baby & he went all round spreading the happy news Your gynae didnt tell you? don't worry...shld be ok..now you know already, so don't eat anymore half boiled eggs.
cause there's always bacteria present in raw or half-cooked food and for half-boiled eggs, there is risk of bacteria infection.
but no worries, actually the baby only starts to take in what we eat at 5 months... but we still must be careful of diet from now on to prevent any infection etc etc.. no alcohol, and refrain from taking mayonaise too (its made from raw egg yolks).
no coffee and tea as well.
raw eggs have this samollena bacteria in them thats why its not advised.
even babies less than a year old can only take cooked egg yolks but not whites..
but don't worry..eat already so don't think too much..

Hi all, which gynae you all are seeing?
My previous gynae had left KK and set up her own practice, which her clinic location is inconvenient for me.
Btw, I am craving for coffee very much, and I cannot quit off the drink, how ah? For my last pregnancy, I was craving for milk tea and I drank almost everyday. :embarrassed:

I seeing Adrain fr ACJ. Quite frenly and experienced. I dun take tea daily bt I do indulge in milk tea or lemon tea when I have craving. I feel a few times a wk shd be ok ba. I crave for sashimi also so I do eat once a wk.
Ya, my hubby is the one doing the booking. Haha..
It's near my area and it opens in the evening, so, it's timing and location are the main factor.
He's Dr Wong Mun Tat from Thomson Women's Clinic (Bukit Batok Branch). Heard from my friend he is quite good.
Where did you intend to book yours?

Hi all,
Made my first appointment to see Dr Wee Horng Yen in KK on 11 Feb, I should be around 6 weeks then. My friend recommended him saying he is patient and caring doctor and will not rush thru the consultation.

Hi Erlina and Sufeit,

1. Dr. Ang Huai Yan
2. Dr. L C Foong
3. Dr. Fong Chuan Wee
4. Dr Douglas Ong
5. Dr Gordon Tan
Sigh.... what a difficult decision here.

A few factors for you to consider:-
1) Location and timing of clinic
2) Which hospital do your gynae delivers
3) Charges or any pre-natal packages offered
4) Personality of gynae, e.g those assuring type or man of few words (some gynae 'chop chop' type consultation but still equally good)
Good luck in your search!
