Oct Expectant Buddies

Congratulations mum_babes, it must all seem so much more real now. I can't wait to find out.

Alex, I understand where you are coming from. I guess I have just had years of bad experiences with conventional Drs and alternative ways sorted me out in no time. But you are right, you do have to becareful when pregnant : )
 
Hello there,

congrats for baby boys,

hubby and i dont really want to know the gender, cross finger he/she will be healthy baby.

how do you know if the baby kicks, i only felt like a bubble in tummy or that was the kick.

I tried to listen to babys heartbeat but i cant tell... i look at my neck and palpitates out of control..it look wierd..

MamaS try getting a air purifier from Fortress, "Boinair" it helps due to pollution

Take care then

Daisy
 
Hi mums_babes, congrats on having a boy too!!!

Hi Daisy, i'll check out fortress, is Boinair a humidifier or just an air purifier?
 
Hello mamaS,

Sorry its BIONAIRE, its only an air purifier ..it comes with the filter when u buy.....thou, the place for you to get the filter is in Tsuen Mun.

we have been using it for 2 years i change it once. its good. in our room, we use the air purifier and aircon at night. and we use the dehumidifer in day time. we are going to get another one when the baby is born.
 
Hello xox,

Were you the one who had flu(?) few months back? I'm down with coughing with phlegm, but doctor doesn't give me any medication. What did you do?

Any advice ladies? thanks.
 
Hi Mamas,
I went to the doctor and there wasn't much he could do.
I had a high fever that lasted for about three days. I was allowed to take 500mg of Paracetamol (Panadol) every four hours. I only took 2 per day. Apparently this has no adverse effect on the baby.
In addition, I took Cepacol Throat lozenges to reduce the dry cough and sore throat. I also had lots of cups of boiling water.
He suggested using a vaporiser to make my breathing a lot easier.
I think it's best to stick to these old basic remedies when you're pregnant. The best cure is time and rest!
 
Thanks xox,

Where to get this Cepacol Throat lozenges?

Yup, i'm using a humidifier to help in my breathing, it works.

Daisy,
I've bought bionaire, thanks for your recommendation, but i got the humidifier, not the air purifier, as it is what i needed for my sore throat, had allergy with aircon.

Alex, once the windows are closed the humidity is no longer the same, i've bought a humidifier, and right away my clog nose is gone (though replaced by runny nose ;-)
 
Mamas,
I had a very runny nose and sinus after that. The pharmacist and my obgyn said that I could take Piriton for that. I only took one tablet, but it was very effective.
Cepacol was available from my doctor. I found some at Watson's a few weeks ago too.
