Due Oct-Dec 08??

Hi Everyone,
I've been waiting to post to make sure I was past the 12 week mark, as I had two miscarriages in early pregnancy last year. I'm only 9 1/2 weeks, but can't wait any longer - its nice to know that others are going through similar emotions, troubles, etc, especially with a first pregnancy. Looking forward to hearing more from everyone!
 
Hi Nino

Hi Nino (and everyone else).....I know what you mean about wanting to tell people ...but having to wait just to be safe.

I've only told a few people (not even my mom and dad know), but it's nice to share it this way (on geobaby) - it feels safe.

Hi ladies
I just read ninos post and am exactly in the same situation as her!!!! Ive been lurking this post for the last 2 weeks or so but been too scared to post since i suffered a miscarriage late last year. Im also 9 1/2 weeks along and eager to join you ladies in this journey! I have a gorgeous 2 year old daughter so this is my third pregnancy, and hopefully will be my second child!

I havent told anybody about the pregnancy yet. We are just being a bit cautious since we have miscarried in the past.

We are due on October 28th and we are booked at the Matilda.
 
At first I didn't want to tell people - it took us over a YEAR to conceive... I had begun looking into fertility doctors and everything - but we ended up falling pregnant naturally! It just took us a while... but I was SO SCARED of miscarrying... my mother had a miscarriage when I was about 13, and I think it really affected me... it made me feel like it's "more likely" to happen with me - but I guess it's not really...

I've told THE WHOLE WORLD already though ;) lol - I just couldn't keep it a secret... hehe... well, I've told everyone except my boss anyway!!

Sooo... who's up for lunch? When and where? Is Central a good place for you all? Want to try for next week some time? Or maybe the week after? I think that any day is good for me...
 
Hi everyone, have been reading through all the posts and would love to join up for the lunch date!

We are expecting our first baby Oct 19th.

I've only been in Hong Kong for 3 months so getting used to a new city and working through the mine field of maternity/hospital systems has been a learning curve! Everyone seems to have great advice on this site!
 
I wish I felt comfortable enough to tell people - I've only told my mom and sister back in Canada. It would definitely help explain to those around me why I can't even stand the smell of certain foods and the mood swings I've been experiencing. We'll try to wait for the 12 week mark, but I can't believe no one has guessed yet!
I would be up for meeting everyone - or whoever can make it - for lunch or coffee sometime. I'm currently not working so have a pretty open schedule. Looking forward to meeting everyone! Have a good weekend!
 
Hi All,

Sorry I've been feeling a bit under the weather these past couple of days. It's awful. Poor baby hasn't been able to sleep with my constant coughing!!!

Re lunch, I think it'll be best for me to wait til next week - to let myself fully recover and also cos I'm anticipating a hectic week at work (with new club opening!!). Next Wed/Thur would be better for me. But if it's not suitable for others, then no worries!
 
Kharel - I've just had a thought, I thought Tsan Yuk only registers new mums on Wednesdays and Saturdays?!? That's what they told me when I called to make an appointment... And you had to be over 10 weeks preg. Maybe you might like to double check your appt date?
 
Hi everyone,

Wow, there are certainly a lot of posts here and I just spent my whole morning at work reading everything :P and getting to know you all.

I found out I was pregnant a month ago but at that time, the doctor didn't want to confirm anything since it was just a yolk on the scan. Today, he finally confirmed that there was a baby inside (duh!) as we can see him/her move. It's all very exciting even if it is my second time round. My due date is 5 Nov.

I remember wanting to buy maternity clothes, and this time, as my baby will be born in a totally different season to my other baby, I am going to allow myself to buy some more! haha

My baby girl will be 1 yr old next Monday, so my babies will be around 17months apart. I cannot imagine what a nightmare that might be since my baby girl is a real cheeky monkey and wants to play 24/7.

I had her at Queen Elizabeth hospital last year and they were excellent there. My baby was also prematuire by 7 weeks, so she stayed in ICU for 15 days before coming homw to us. This time round, I am debating whether to go public or private as it was really difficult last time with the limited visting hours at public hospitals. I really needed my husband there when I couldn't see my baby (as she was in ICU and I was tied to a drip). Will see...

I also work full time but for myself so am more flexible with time. I really hope to meet you all soon!
