Anyone expecting in April 2011?
- Thread starter mariac
- Start date
Banane 76 - thanks for the bracelet suggestion. If they work, then I gotta try them! I can't eat too much at a time either. My doctor told me to eat sth every 2 hours or so, before I start getting the acidic hungry feeling and it's kind of exhausting!
SydneyGal - I think it'll be great if you can go back to your home country for birth if just to put your mind at ease. Are you seeing any doctor here?

Hey Sydneygal,
I think it would be great to have an option of different places you can have your baby, ie. birthing centre versus hospital. Here you have less choice...but like you said, it really depends on the flexibility of your hubby's job. I was working with the first as I am now and it makes it difficult so we decided to have the baby here.
Mariac, try the bracelets, they do work...I just can't use them as much with my job as I can't wear them while I massage.

Thank mariac and banane76.
No I don't have a ob here although I'm wondering if I should see someone for my 12 week? My ob back home said if we plan to keep the baby no matter then we don't need to have 12 wk scan but I'm nervous to announce I'm pregnant without confirming all is ok first in case something happened between my 7 week scan and 12 weeks.... IMO ly 8w1d at moment but not sure what to do.....

SydneyGal,
I can understand your hesitation about getting a 12 week scan. I too think that scanning should be limited. I had one at 10 weeks and my next one is scheduled at 14 weeks. I am also planning to make the official announcement after the 14th week scan. It is more reassuring that way somehow. But after that, my next scan will be between week 20-22 so there will be a longer break. The other option, if you really want to avoid the 12 week scan is to go to a midwife (you can try Annerley) and have them check the heartbeat with a doppler. I am considering this too, though I must admit it is very tempting to do the scan. I love seeing the baby, the heartbeat and the movements...but at any rate, those are some options. Hope this helps!

Btw, are any of you feeling gassy/gas cramps and heartburn? It is the most frustrating part for me! My OB asked me to drink ginger water every morning but it still comes back later in the day and makes me so uncomfortable when I go to bed at night. i think i should exercise more regularly but not much energy yet! :treadmill
I get gassy pain and I find making some ginger tea with fresh ginger root and honey helps me. It also helps with the nausea. I had that in a thermos next to the bed so I had it all the time. I don't have the energy yet either for exercise...I find playing with my 8 month old gives me enough of a workout for now, but would like to get back into yoga and fitness when the energy levels get back to normal.
Sydneygal, if you want a scan at 12 weeks, go for it or get the fetal heart monitor check with Annerley so no scan, but you can hear the heartbeat? We are getting the Oskar test done, so we'll be getting the scan done at around 13-14 weeks, and then the next one is 20 weeks.
