Haiz I'm facing the same prob, very bad cough and lotsa phlegm... Was hospitalised on sun night due to high fever and now I'm still coughing...

Well, I resorted to personal remedies such as herbal tea from this neighbourhood medical halls, cough syrup prescribed by doc which I was originally reluctant to drink cuz was afraid might affect baby and drinking warm water. I was drinking cold water becuz water in room temp jus makes me feel like puking...

My morning sickness is still bad and I just vomited in the morning, think the coughing is making it worse. Read from the Internet that our immune system gets suppressed so the baby(foreign object) doesn't get rejected by our body, that's why pregnant ladies are more prone to illnesses, just be sure to take ur vitamins and calcium pills... Get plenty of rest and drink lotsa water to hydrate yourself ya? Take care

Hi, not advisable to stop ur Calcium and prenatal vitamins. If you really must stop, pls drink plenty of milk and eat ur veges too... Even so, it may not be enough for the baby. Prenatal vits and calcium actually provides u with the nutrients u need which u do not normally receive enough from a normal diet. Calcium is important becuz if baby do not receive enough of it, they will start to suck out calcium from ur bones, resulting in osteoporosis in the future.

Actually, if u r drinking enough water, do continue to eat the vitamins and calcium pills. I been taking them and honestly, they make me giddy and 'heaty' too, so maybe drink more water to hydrate yourself and counter the side effects. Actually, I don't think is advisable to take those chinese powder, you nvr know what they put inside.

Take care, im sick too, just down with diarrhoea due to food poisoning and I do not want to take the medicine prescribed by the doc cuz was afraid it might do baby more harm, I just let my body's natural system heal by itself even though it takes much more time...

I'm 16 weeks, Haiz I think it's food poisoning, went to O&G at KK hosp tOday, and the doc wasn't able to identify the prob, jus issued me medicine which I don't wana take... Been having diarrhea for more than 10 times since yesterday... Haiz and the stomachache is killing me... Any gd docs to recommend?

 

[smilem]

How about your own gynae?

I'm 16 weeks, sigh I think it's food poisoning, went to O&G at KK hospital tOday, and the doc wasn't able to identify the prob, just issued me medicine which I dont't want to take... Been having diarrhea for more than 10 times since yesterday... sigh and the stomachache is killing me... Any good docs to recommend?

 

[autumnfall]

Hmm... But I think gynae is helpless in terms of illnesses during pregnancy. They may know how to look out for your baby's needs and development, but may be incapable of determining your illnesses or diagnose your prob/illness during a pregnancy. Anyways, went to KK hosp today and was given antibiotics, will the continue the course and see how things go from there...

i feel my headache is ok, so i resume back my calcium tablet.. but after taking 1 tablet at nite. my head pain start again..

 

[autumnfall]

Aiyo, if u must stop calcium pills, must drink more milk k, my gynae says at least 3 glasses without the pills. These vitamins and pills also gave me nosebleed and dry skin/lips... Haiz tahan Abit, drink more water k... Take care

 

[smilem]

[autumnfall]

Ok LAH as long as u drink milk, low fat ones also can, must drink leh.. Take care k!
