Oct Expectant Buddies

[AlexGuitel]

Hello Bets, I'm in mid levels too but not pregnant (I know that YOU know mamas but I feel oblige to say it to the new ones ;-), I had baby #1 9 months ago. If you'd like to grab a coffee (I can haha!) it's doable, my mail is [email protected] (also for you mamas as soon as you feel better)
Take care

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this group, first time preggy, and I don't have a lot of english-speaking friends in HK. I'm due mid-Oct, so still in the midst of nausea and fatigue. Are any of you working while pregnant? How do you cope? Arrrgh!

Hi Watermelon,

Welcome! hope you can come to this thread often.

I'm not working so cannot give you tips on that. Our due date is almost the same, i'm still feeling tired but not much nausea.

Hi mamas,

hello

hi ladies,

i'm a local and live in kowloon tong. this is my 1st pregancy. i'm now 7-1/2 wks and my due date is 10/30... may be a halloween baby...:formulafe :haha: anyway, love to chat with you ladies. i do work so can't join you for tea on weekdays.

i don't feel too tired except sore nipples, a lot of gas, bloating and sick to my stomach once in a while. i consider myself lucky as i don't have any morning sickness or nuisance. :burnout:

talk to you more later!

Hi Snoopy,

Welcome! Isn't it we're so lucky not to have morning sickness? the sypmtoms that i feel most is just tiredness and sore breast sometimes. Do you have a confinement nanny here in Hk? I came from Sg and they have it, you can get for one month to cook chinese food and take care of the baby. I think you don't have it here as most of the in-laws take care of their daughter-in-law.

Hi lathakarthik,

How many weeks are you now? I'm seeing Dr. Woo in Central. And you? have you found one? i read your thread that you are looking for one last time.

Mamas - I totally agreed that we are very lucky of not having morning sickness?:agree: About confinement nanny, it?s starting to get very popular these 2 years. Actually my sister just had a baby and she recommended her confinement nanny to me. These nannies are so hot right now (esp the good ones) so you have to book them as early as possible. I have already confirmed her around end oct. I think they are good in a sense that they know what to cook for you after you gave birth and to teach your other regular nanny (those that do housework) on how to really take good care of the baby. Sort of a good training.:burnout:

Watermelon ? I?m also working so I know how tough it can be.:barf: My job requires me to travel quite often and a few times a year on long hauls too (as my customer?s headquarter is located in NYC) so I guess we just have to take it easy most of the time and try not to get too tired (though I know it?s not easy). It?s good that mine is 5 days work so at least I have 2 days rest. Does you job require you to travel too?

Hi Rani,
Thanks for gathering all the info. We seem to have a pretty big group on this thread already! The more the merrier!
I'm definitely suffering from morning sickness. I find it helps to eat small amounts more often. Green apples have helped me a lot.
I'm working as a teacher, so can meet up with you guys after about 4pm any afternoon.

Hi Snoopy,

I've sent you a PM.

Hi XOX,

Good to "see" you again here. we'll meet up after all the sickness and tiredness that we have. How many weeks are you now? Oh, i just checked Rani's info, we are almost the same week.
