hello!!!!!!!!!

Dear Tan,

thanks for your messages!

I have a feeling that it won't take long to get pregnant, if genetics is on our side (we both come from very large families, with every case scenario - twins, pregnancies over 40...). But guess we should keep on trying and see what happens! Who knows, maybe the baby is already on the way...

I'm 30, and starting to hear the clock ticking... especially as I'd like to have two or three...

Is this your first pregnancy?
 
Yes, this is my first pregnancy, am 34 now and we were trying for six months (it was longer time than that though as we were parted by trips etc). Will report back after the next appointment, tell us what happens with the job or other things ...! xxx
 
Its wonderful to be able to talk with other women who are pregnant about our complaints and issues. I am happy to help, Undecided, just keep us posted on your decisions and pregnancy news. You've got our support. Also Tan keep us posted on your health condition. You have to have faith in your body and you have been doing the right thing by listening to your body. I have had a few friends that have had difficult pregnancies and have been on bed rest but now they have wonderful beautiful babies.
Do you gals know of a lot of people who have had misscarriages? I feel like almost everyone I have talked do has had one first and then went on to having very healthy babies. It seems to be pretty common these days along with c-sections. I guess that's another decision to have one day.
I am coming upon 7 weeks now and I have feel worse. The first month I did not know but I had slept better in my life. Now I am very tired to the point of napping, I can barely get any food down. I have to force myself to eat. I am incredibly naseau everyday, from when I wake up in the morning until I go to bed. Not much has helped me but curling up in a ball. SO good times! Fun times, Haha! I am tempted to try these new preggie lollypops.
How is everyone else feeling these days?
I have my first appointment with Dr.Sally Ferguson this friday so lets see what she says. Should I expect my first ultrasound this trip?
Take care ladies!

Dears,

it's really great to be able to share! Decision time is delayed, as my husband is travelling... but I think I'll start the job first and see how that goes.

Ashlee, yes I do know many people that had miscarriages. It might be an interesting coincidence, but it seems to be proportional to the time they have given themselves off the pill... I also know a couple mums that had repetitive miscarriages when trying the second baby, while the first pregnancy was fine.

As for feeling sick, a close friend of mine lost 5 kg the first three months. She could not hold anything. Then one day, it disappeared. She's 7 months now and looks really pretty (did not gain much back, but has a really round belly).

As for me, no news here, still not pregnant, still undecided...

Good luck with your appointment!
 
morning sickness

I read other threads and there is loooots of people complaining about severe morning sicknes... guess it is close to impossible to avoid that!
 
its interesting you saying about miscarriages. A close friend of mine got pregnant and told everyone immediately, but then when she went for the scan there was nothing there. Now im obsessed with the fact that the same will happen to me.
My pregnancy wasnt planned - ive only been with my boyfriend 5 months and only been in Hong Kong 11 months - and ive never felt further from home! (Im from england). Im so glad ive found this website so i can talk to other people who are going through the same things as me.
 
hi

This week had a scan and heartbeat, very exciting. About six and a half weeks from conception. Am more tired than usual in the afternoon and if I have can I have a quick nap. Also have some nausea but its more that my appetite is diminished. Other than that have been feeling normal. xxx Hope you are all well too:agree:
 
Dear Tan, Marie, Mrs. Chan, Sisi, undecided and anyone else:

Maybe in September we can all get together and start our own little pregnant mommies group. What do you ladies think about that? Do you gals belong to other mom's groups as of yet? It would be great to talk about doctor's visits, midwives, body changes, you name it.
Hope everyone is doing okay! My first appointment is the Friday, very excited! What else happens with your first prenantal visit?
Talk Soon...Ashlee
 
Dear Ashleerae
I definately want to be in your mummy gang! At the moment my only friends in Hong Kong are ones i met in Lan Kwai Fong or Wan Chai, and now that i cant drink or stay up all night dancing i have kind of lost touch. Also, there is only so much baby talk people can take when they are not actually pregnant themselves.
It will be great to be able to talk about doctors and scans and baby names etc etc without feeling guilty!
 
AshleeRae - cool lets get together in September and have a lunch. Am not with any other mothers groups (hmmm are there organizations here?). Mistake in my last post, now 7 weeks on from last period, not from conception had a scan at almost six weeks and nothing ? quite amazing difference in a week.

Feel like I have been to the doctor so many times not sure what they would do if it were a first appointment. Definitely a blood test. Possibly urine test, weight measurement.
I think my book says you might be able expect discussion about what shots you have for immunization. If you don?t remember than they would check your blood test.
In the blood test, if you are too early for a scan, than they could check you hcg levels. Possibly your iron levels (common in my home country, not sure about HK).
You could talk about what you want from your doctor, what type of birth process they advocate, where they like to deliver etc. Haven?t done that fully yet, be interested to know if you like your doctor.
Marie, look forward to making a March group here, we can have a support network - all the people I know too are still having a great time drinking and carousing! much care xxx
