Thanks guys for the support 
Good example of morning sickness not only in the morning...I just had lunch...four cheese pasta...I had a hard time to finish my plate and I still feel :barf:
Babymo, for the fruit, I never heard about not beeing allowed to eat " fridged /cold fruits". Rinse your fruits before eating them. Otherwise, I don't see why you should not eat them.
Good story about your colleague's perfume ! :haha:
pinkballerina, I understand what you're talking about for the Welcome on Caine road:rofl: better avoid this kind of places ! Do you live close by ? I live on stauton street !
I understand you didn't tell that many people ?! My husband and I couldn't keep this news secret...almost everybody around us know :yeah2
If you;re looking for some books, I found a good one at Dymoks : "Pregnancy Bible", a lot of good information about your body, your baby, the evolution of pregancy, the delivery etc. It answered a lot of questions.

zany, I live on Robinson Road so not far from where you are.
I just went and saw an acupuncturist and she's also put me on chinese herbs to help treat my cramping, and other physical ailments (both preg and non preg related). She said I shouldn't be eating "cold" foods and therefore I should be eating fruit and veg cooked rather than raw. I'm fine with a vege stirfry but I'm not sure I can boil up fruit...yuck! I have to see her once a week until I'm 12 weeks and hopefully the treatments should support my body enough to help prevent miscarriage.
At this point, I'm willing to try anything that will help give me the best chance. I feel so stressed today because my cramps have been quite noticeable. Anyone else having the same issues? :frown:

Hi Pink Ballerina - if it makes you feel better, just letting you know I have had some mild cramps too. I find it happens especially when I am tired, but seem to go away if I rest up (have a nap etc). I was having a whinge to my husband, who kindly reminded me that I had that with my first child too - how quickly we forget! I beleive it is just your uterus getting ready and developing for the growing baby. Have you seen your Ob yet? If so, they should have given you their number. If you are really worried, you should call them just for reassurance. Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the gals tomorrow! xox
PS - I was recommended by my first Ob not to have baths as you don't want to overheat. You may be aware that when women want to bring on labour they have a bath as I think it is renown to break your waters, so not sure if it is true or not, or an old wives tale, but something I have decided to steer clear of just in case.

Hi Ladies!
I just started the morning sickness symptoms at around 8 weeks, before that I was just tired all the time (still am!). Every little smell bothers me, and though I have not actually vomited, I feel like the toilet is my new best friend. I've found ginger ale helps, and also making sure there is something in my stomach all the time. An empty stomach makes it worse, and even when the last thing I feel like doing is eating, I make myself eat some crackers. I've heard at 12 weeks you feel a sudden burst of energy--- I am so looking forward to that! I joke that this baby is sucking the life out of me!
AussieMum- it's called the X Y test, and it can show the sex of the baby at 8 weeks. My cousin told me about it, not sure if they offer it here in HK. I actually was in Shanghai last week and went to a clinic with a really bad cold and they offered me the test. The results just came in yesterday, but I am a bit skeptical... I have an appt with my Dr here tomorrow afternoon (after our lunch) so I will ask her about it then...
Zany- Looks like we are in the same boat!
See you tomorrow, and for those who can't make it, looking forward to meeting you all another time!

Thanks so much for the words of reassurance girls. It has made me feel much better. I think I'll call my Doc in the morn if they are still persisting.
See you tomorrow! xx
