Hi autumnfall, I just went for my scan today and heard my baby heartbeat. I have constant abdominal cramp too. But gynae assure that if the cramp is by the side of the abdominal, it's fine. He claims that if it's abdominal cramp and u got spotting, then seek gynae immediately. I totally understand how u feel, always feel safer and happier after seeing the gynae and hearing him say your baby is healthy and normal. :)

By the way, I'm also having fluctuation in my energy level, one day I can be very active while the other day I can be totally shack. I guess it's normal since the baby grow from a peanut to a grape size from week 6-9. ^^

I also lost some weight since pregnancy, but gynae says its normal. Rem to drink more water or juices to replenish your water loss from diarrhea. ^^

Hi ibisco, I'm also very sensitive to smell. I hate the smell of frying garlic and ginger. It's torture cause every time I walk pass the food court or coffeeshop, I feel like puking. I'm also complaining about my husband breath. I'm only fond of pleasant smell like flower scent.

By the way, can I check with you ladies if it's ok to use aromatherapy? Those that u burn the essential oil in a clay pot. I read sonewhere that some sense like lemongrass might cause miscarriage. But Im not too sure if this is scientifically proven, so anyone have any idea?

Hi Euniz, welcome. Are you looking for male or female gynae? My gynae is Dr K.C. Yeo at Thomson medical Center. Most of my relatives and my sibling have him as the gynae. His very experienced. You might want to consider. Some ladies here have posted their gynae infor in their thread. ^^

Hi Tomatoning, regarding aromatheraphy, i also wanted to try and yes, some scents are thought to relax ur muscles so its not so good for early pregnancy. My take is better not try if there's a slight chance of danger?... We just gotta pinch our noses hehe ;)

Hello!

Pigletbao, Littlebluecinders, autumn fall : my scan went well today. Saw the bb's heartbeat!! It's amazing :) n saw the amniotic sac n the yolk sac too. :)

Autumn fall, I am 6wks n edd 2nd may. My gynae is LC Foong n his clinic is at Gleneagles. Thomson is too far for me so I chose somewhere more central instead...

Littlebluecinders, hehe if your info is true, my hubby would be very happy :) he's wishing for a boy first :)

Btw I think Duphaston is meant to stabilize the fetus... So if you can try to continue. I m prescribed Duphaston for another 3 more weeks so far.....

Hi dear, think u should finish the Duphaston tho spotting has stopped. Think it's supposed to tide through most of the first trimester when the placenta is still in production...
My gynae stopped it for me at 9 weeks when I finished the prev course prescribed n he saw that baby was progressing well. :) just gotta bear with the nausea for now...as long as bb grows well, it'll be worth it! :)

Welcome all the new mummies who have joined us!! Congrats!

Hi all, is it necessary to finish up the duphaston pills? The nurse at the clinic told me to do so but spotting has long stopped.. so wondering if can stop taking or not... i suspect it contributes to the nauseousness

Littlebluecinders, yes yes I have probs slping at night these few days, maybe becuz I been taking long afternoon naps... How ar? Afternoon never slp I very tired leh... And my cramps get unbearable at night, I wake up and had diarrhoea last two nights, Haiz.. Then sleep till halfway I hungry can't slp lol...

I slept at 2 plus, woke up at 7.... Previously I have no probs slping... I can take long naps and still slp like a pig at night. I realised all the nauseous, cramping, diarrhoea and insomnia started after my prenatal and calcium pills. I will b week 9 tmrw, hope it gets better...

Hihi, I'm also insomnia despite the fact that I'm very tired. Can i check with u gals if u got a slight yellowish discharge with a little smell? Btw, did u gals had a yellow and green test strip urine teat every time u visit the gynae? Is that suppose to be the vaginal infection test strip? I just had my scan yesterday and the gynae say the baby is healthy. But I forgot to ask about the yellow discharge, getting forgetful. ^^

Tomatoning, yes I have some slight yellow discharge (sometimes its white, sometimes it's milky) and they have an odor. I urine on the strips too, not sure if they are test strips for infection. But I did have urinal infection test few weeks back and they came back negative. At that point of time, I had slight white/transparent discharge which smell too...

Hello! First time mummy here!

Hello everyone!
So glad to have stumbled upon this as I have no mummy friends or even nummy friends to be.

I am at the start of my 8th week and EDD is 23 April 2013. I will be having my second check up at KKH this Wednesday! Will I be able to hear the baby's heartbeat? :)
