Due November 2014

Thank you Rani for the advice! I went to Dr Catherine Cheung today as I was having slight cramps and was worried when my friend said that she lost her baby because of that. She said it is common and prescribed me some folic acid and Algae DHA oil tablets, and asked me to return when I am in my 7th week for an ultrasound.

I am wondering if it is safe to travel in the first trimester? I asked the nurse and she said it is not advisable and I may miscarriage. However I read that many people continued with their travel plans with no ill effects. I booked my ticket to return to Singapore on 8th March before I knew I am pregnant and am scheduled for an internal ultrasound on the 7th. Do you think it is advisable to have the ultrasound date and travel date so close together?? I am not sure how invasive internal ultrasound is.

I am really keen to join you ladies for dinner tomorrow but I don't think I can make it. Update if there is a second meet-up coming up!
 
Hi chareis,
As far as I know you can absolutely continue your work/ life as normal ( obviously removing certain foods/ alcohol etc).
I travelled throughout with last pregnancy and had no problems. I don't think travel will in anyway cause a mid carriage but of course they can happen at any time to anyone :-(
The advice they give us rest if you need to and be active f your body requires- listen to your body basically. My fried who is pregnant with twins has also travelled throughout her pregnancy so I wouldn't cancel your trip :-)
Internal ultrasound is not pleasant but also doesn't harm you or the baby either. (Sorry to be crude but they say its fine to have sex an that thing is a lot smaller!)
Hope tht helps. I'm no expert obviously- just repeating what I believe/ have been told :-)
Good luck
 
Omg i just did a massive reply and it didn't go through and now lost! Ahhhh

Thank you loobylou for the assurance! My friend's sister who is flying with SQ flew throughout the first 3 months and her baby is close to 2 yr old now :). I guess I just have to relax and not get overly stressed over small matters
 
Hi ladies,

Massive congratulations. This is my first pregnancy and would love to meet up with some ladies in the same situation. I’m not new to Hong Kong (been here for 5 years), but definitely new to the system and pregnancy. I’m currently struggling with morning sickness and teenage like acne, both of which started at the 7 week mark.

I’m due mid October and I’m thinking of going half private and half public. I live in Central so would give birth at QMH.

Charieis, my Ob-gyn said it’s fine for me to fly. Your flight is relatively short, so you should be fine, but at the end of the day it's a personal decision. I’m currently 9 weeks and flying to Australia on Friday and then back to Hong Kong a week later. That said, I have a wedding to attend as Maid of Honour and I refuse to miss it, so will do whatever it takes to endure the trip.
 
Just a reminder ladies, dinner is at 7:30pm at the Common Room. See you tonight. Table booked in my name
 
Thanks Rani. Unfortunately I'm feeling pretty ordinary this evening, so it's probably a good idea I stay home. I wouldn't want to throw up at your ladies dinner :) Hopefully this phase passes soon. Look forward to meeting soon.
 
No worries rest up and see you at the next one.
