I didn't sleep well through pregnancy: legs kept twitching (super irritating!) Frequent toilet visits too.
One way of relief is doing Pilates stretches before sleep, it helps prevents the cramping.

Morning sickness is a good sign that baby is growing well.

All the best! :)

Nowadays no more frequent toilet trips. Guess its because I'm in my 2nd tri. Saw from websites that toilet trips will reduce in second tri. But i experience tight tummy (very tight and uncomfortable feeling) whenever i drink too much water. And my boy is not kicking yet. :(

i tend to be v thirsty during pregnancy,but i only drink sips n mouthfuls every time juz to drench e thirst..drink slow n bit by bit wil help body absorb water better,no matter u r preg anot.. i only drink 1 full cup with meal or after meal but wil 1 go toilet v soon..

dun worry abt e kicking,at times baby kick u cant feel it yet,cuz its stil mild..when i was preg wif my son,i only start feeling his kick at abt 6mths,but now i feel my gal kickin strongly at 5mths le..

I find myself very thirsty too, maybe becos of vitamins pills which I have taken.

I still sleep normally at 11pm, and wake up at 8am.

But nowadays I can feel that sometimes I am leaking urine or discharge out.:001_302:

I tend to feel thirsty too, at night. Normally i drink one mouthful before going to bed, as toilet trips has minimised.
I was coughing all the way yesterday night. Guess its the durian i ate yesterday. I was actually feeling abit sick before eating. But hubby wants me to have a big sized baby, so i ate 3 seeds. The durian is very ex! One durian costs $36. Faintz. I don't know the mkt price. Guess we are 'tocked'. Haha.

When i sneeze, I will leak urine too, if my bladder is full or half full.

I oso have e leakage problem but nth much to do but visit toilet more often or use a panty liner.. Dun eat so much of e same food at 1shot.. The sugar lvl maybe too overwhelming for ur gastric n baby..
For me, I eat abit of everything,so nutritions is balanced, from food I like to dun like, helps build up my baby appetite n immune system frm now.. Studies said u 1 ur kid to eat their veggies in future, u gotta start eating them when u r preg..
Another thing is food allergy,I dun1 my kid to have this n that allergy.. Haha seems my kiasu way of appetite works for my son, he doesn't have any allergy so far, juz like me..he was burned quite a big baby too, 3.5kg full term baby..:001_302:

How do you prevent allergys? Do you eat seafood when you're pregnant with your son? In that case, I will try to eat fish, prawns, lobster. Haha!

I juz dun eat raw food n tuna much.. Cuz they said tuna have v high mercury in it which is nt gd for preg women n baby..fishes is gd food for pregnancy but mercury lvl nd to be careful oso.. Tats my reason y I eat abit of everything too.. Cod fish n salmon r e best.. But raw salmon like sashimi need to care,cuz some might nt be as fresh or ur tummy may not like it during pregnancy

I don't eat large fishes e.g. tuna too, only a few times eat from those sandwich kind.
But i heard that preg women should avoid cod fish too. Cod fish is my fav dish, but i have to skip that. Cooked salmon is fine.

My obgyn warned against all raw meat and uncoiled eggs (including mayonnaise because of raw egg yolk). Even uncooked vegetables (salad) outside home needs to be avoided. Reason is they may be contaminated and harm baby.

Large fishes such as shark, whale and tuna has high mercury concentration, so must avoid too.

I'm a vegetarian and ate soy regularly through pregnancy. But my boy has soy allergy. So be careful about eating allergenic food, especially when breastfeeding baby.

Ya tats what my gynae told me too but I dun rem e exact words haha.. I heard having too much soy products when pregnant may cause ur baby to have more chance to have jaundice,but nowadays jaundice is quite common oso.. Allergy is something we stil duno how to prevent,some babies r allergic to cow's milk oso.. Tuna I usually is ate few bites accidentally but won't purposely go eat.we duno hw much mercury is too much for e baby so better dun risk..
