EDD April Mummies

[Dilys]

hi everyone,

im new here, edd also april 2012.

currently is 8 weeks. feel nausea and giddy sometimes, mouth taste bland .
i can't over stuffed myself with food or else will hv digestive difficulty.

my gynae oni prescribed multivit ( ganilia), folic acid and im also on utrogestan hormone pill.

any advice from other mommies?

Hi Janette,

Welcome ! Don't overstuff yourself with food ... you don't have to keep eating. Just eat when you feel like it. Have some milo .. biscuits. So what do you crave for now ? Don't worry .. it's normal to feel giddy .. mouth taste bland.. take some fruits ... maybe you will feel better. Have lots of rest now.

As for me .. During my 8 wks i m eating Bee Hoon for all my meals. Now in my 9 wk .. I am attempting to try out a few new food..(haha those food that I used liked). Oh I am only taking folic acid and Dupheston.

Jiayou!!!

Hi Dilys, I'm 9 weeks so still in first trimester. I've got e lilypie ticker but dunno how to paste on the thread... Yah, I'm not doing any exercise except some walking. Feels the body achy and soft soft no energy like that. Cried in the afternoon while talking to a friend coz I'm feeling so sick... But after crying felt so much better. I like the plain cornflakes cereal. Only managed to stomach half glass of milk, a few mouthfuls of duck rice and 3 Oreo cookies today... Skipping Duphaston n multivit today leh.... They r making me more sick ley.....

Hope u r having a good dinner right now!

Hi Anxious31,

Oh we are in the same ..9 wk. Oh my god ... don't cry. It's not good to cry too much when you are pregnant. I've got a friend, when she is preggie she was so sick, she cried everyday then she lost her baby in the end. Little one .. they are very sensitive.. crying too much makes them feel that you don't love bb. Being preggie is like that ... Endure it ...this is just the beginning of the challenge... more to come.. Be Positive.. Yes I feel very very terrible in my 5 wk... you must have a strong determination.. Remember don't cry .. it will make you feel worst.

Good that u like plain cereal .. at least something you can turn to when hungry. Don't ever skip what your gynae give you ... Dupheston & multvit very important for little one. For the sake of bb, you should eat.

Are you working ?? If you are very free like me... read some pregnancy books, watch some funny shows or look at some cute baby photos .. that will motiviate you. haha.. I am too full now for dinner.. also didn't eat really aot today .. but keep munching little bits.. Still no good feast for me yet! Very limited type of food intake. Ever since I started to try Roasted Duck Meat (Without the rice) .. this morning I went to buy Roasted Duck Meat again.. Imagine..

4am: I am already eating my 1st meal .. Bee Hoon Soup.
10am +: Had my Roasted Ducked wrap with 2 slices of White Bread. 1 barley drink.
1pm+: small amt of Stired Fried Mixed Mushroom
: small amt of grapes.
4pm+: 1 small bowl of grapes.

Now I am still so full.. I am getting my hubby to get me some "Yee Mee" from the Zhi Char Store. My 1st attempt in trying that also... See how it goes later !

hi dilys ,

[janette wong]

Hi Janette, r u a first time mummy also? I'm also having digestion difficulties and it's very bad for me.

hi anxious mom,

dun be anxious ya. yes, 1st time experience such discomfort. heard drink ginger tea may help. i did tried, but d tea too sweet for me.

Hey janette,

u haven't did any ultrasound yet?? Don't worry .. everything will be fine .. Jia you ! Don't drink too much ginger tea.. drink moderately. Consume too much ginger for preggie may stimulate uterine contractions. Jia you !!!

 

[Anxious31]

dont be anxious ya. yes, 1st time experience such discomfort. heard drink ginger tea may help. i did tried, but d tea too sweet for me.

Hi, thanks for ur encouragement. I haven't tried ginger tea yet. Maybe will try a little. Scared too heaty. Feeling better today... Not as sick as yesterday... Why e dr ask u not to scan until after 3 mths? Thought scanning gives assurance that baby is growing healthily?

im sorry pardon my typo error. i meant, i had did scanning from vaginal as it was still early back then. my next check up will be on 29sep. coz 1 year ago, i was also preggie, but aft the NT test and CVS, confirm its down, so i had to terminate it.

tis time round, my gynae was just saying wait til 11weeks plus, thn run the NT scan again. hope and pray all ok!! cross my fingers..
oh ya btw, i also found a cyst in right ovary which my gynae claimed could be due to hormone production. but it grows quite fast. hv u all hear anything bout cyst+pregnancy? is it harmful??

Hey janette,

Don't worry! Ovarian cysts are "corpus luteum" cysts, which is the spot from where you ovulated, It's completely normal and harmless. As long as bb is fine then shouldn't be any prob. Don't worry .. be positive ... some people will go for a surgery @ their 2nd terimester to remove it. But there's no pain & bb is fine, you can just leave it. Some will go off their own. Relax !!

Jiayou!

Hi Anxious31,

I know our body changes are really no joke.. But be strong k.. I cried coz I had mood swing too.. Suddenly felt very depressed in one of the afternoon.. Hubby just comforted me and cheer me up with some funny movies..
I had very bad heartburn at week 6 too.. I regret eating and I felt so bad that I'd rather not eat anything at all.. But slowly I found a eating pattern that tame my stomach acid... I eat very small and frequent meal.. I eat what I feel like eating, munch very very slowly and stop once I feel full... Sit up straight after meal and drink fluid after 1 hour...

My diet becomes:
7:30am 3-4 mouthful of bread
8:30am A cup of Hot milo
9:30am Few more bites of Bread
10:30am Fruits
11:30am Biscuits
12:30pm Half a bowl of noodle soup
2:30pm Fruit Juice / Milo
4:30pm Nuts or Fruits
6:30pm Dinner (Few mouthful of rice, veg, meat, etc)
8:00pm Fruit

hahah I basically ate the whole day but my stomach acid got better after 1 week... Now I can slowly eat more every meal and less frequent... So Take some time to find your best diet... Don't be upset ya... Oh I also got a medicine from my Gynae for back up.. In case my heartburn become unbearable, I will take that.. So far, I have yet to opened the bottle...

Now my diet:
7:30am Half a bun
9:00am A pack of low fat milk & Half a Bun
11:00am one Bun
12:30pm Lunch (noodles / fast food / anything i feel like eating)
4:00pm Fruit / yoghurt / any snacks
6:30pm Dinner
8:30pm Fruit
