Due July 2009

Welcome WMB0709!! I had an appointment at Queen Mary yesterday and I thought I was the only gwailo there and then I spotted another gwailo!!

She used the heart beat detection device and couldn't find a heartbeat. I, of course, panicked. Then she did a scan and we saw the little one flipping around. I was relieved.

Feeling a bit better today. Lets see what the afternoon brings! Have a great day.
 
Welcome to the club WMB0709~ this group of gals really has been helpful and great, I also joined this week and feeling relieved knowing I'm not alone out there.

Dear MisB- Hope you're feeling better now. I think we are just off by a couple days, and I totally feel you. Sometimes I can't eat anything for the whole day, only some milk and water to keep me up. Lost about 4~5lbs so far, so I am conscerned about how the baby's growing since I'm not seeing visible growth on my tummy, don't know if this is normal. I'll be getting the OSCAR exam on Monday, so we're praying that everything will be okay.
Glad to hear your check up went well. Hang in there ladies!

Have a great weekend!

hi babymo

very happy to hear the scan went well - i was down with very bad cold at about 8 weeks and had to go on antibiotics as it was some kind of strain called microplasma.

i didn't know what i can and cannot take since i didn't get sick during my first pregnancy but my OB says paracetamol is fine - and thats about it! best cure (for me at least - take it easy, lots of rest & fluid, keep washing your hands and if you can get Sterimar (sea water nasal spray - Watsons/Mannings would have them) and keep flushing out the runny/stuffed nose. I took Berocca (from Watsons/Mannings) and it helped as it has loads of vitamins.

Be thankful you don't have a toddler to run after and deal with!!!
speedy recovery! xox
 
Hi Babymo, headaches are a common side effect of pregnancy. Although I have only had the occasional mild one, I know plenty of people that do get them when pregnant. Regarding what you can take, I would avoid everything, with the exception of paracetamol (however sometimes they do say to even avoid this in the first three months). Best to call the Ob or their clinic to ask what you can or can't take.
I am tending to get bad morning sickness on weekends (really weird). Definately nothing against my husband, but tends to be on Saturday and Sunday, and he has been great, basically being the full time parent when he is home with Emma. But Mon -Fri, I tend to have more energy, which works well as I can chase around after my Emma - maybe I am wearing myself out during the week and need weekend to recover. Hoping to avoid her sickness that she currently has (a mild cold), but so far so good.
Hope everyone is well - besides morning sickness, sounds like everyone is progessing well! Merry Chrissy everyone and happy new year
PS - went to Isola today (NICE!). Am looking forward to it at our next gathering. xoxox
 
thanks for the advice girls!

my doc did say take no tablets or pills if possible unless i am severely dying! and obviously i am not!

i am drinking a lot of warm water.. seems to be a bit better! planning to go home after work and have a nap!
