Starting things off

LFK - so sorry to hear your news. hope you are managing as well as can be expected.

Regarding "back-up bookings" - I'm due October 22 and on the "deferred waiting list" at Matilda (applied late at 8 weeks with my first OB). I saw another doctor recently and because they sent in my information a few weeks ago, was told I have a booking at Adventist. I definitely prefer my first OB (who only delivers at Matilda), but am thinking it would be foolish to pass up an offer to book at Adventist (though I understand there is no 100% guarantee of getting in even with a confirmed booking). What to do?
 
Due Dec 11

Hi All

Found out i'm pregnant about 2 weeks ago (am about 5/6 weeks in), so this is all very new. Apparently i'm due around Mid Dec. Am seeing OB GYN next week, feeling excited and anxious at the same time. Would be good to connect with other 'Mums to Be'. Perhaps we can all meet up sometime, when the first trimester is done.

All the best for now.
 
Hey all

So i had a scan last week (7 weeks), saw the heart beating, which was amazing. I have requested Matilda for the delivery. Apparently they accept applications at 9 weeks at the earliest, so my Ob-Gyn will send them my app at that time. To be fair, i'm not overly fussed if i have to go somewhere else, so will just wait and see.

So have any of you actually met up yet? Maybe we should put a date in the diary for sometime in May? I'm happy to organise something.

Let me know if you are interested.
 
Hi ladies - I just discovered this forum. I'm due Oct 21st and today is the first day of week 17 for me.

Anyone else also into the 2nd trimester and still facing serious morning sickness? I was told it would be over by week 16 at the latest, but i am still vomiting like X times a day (yesterday was like 8-9 times)..... when does this naseau stop? It's so difficult going to work and having to stick my head in the toilet bowl half of hte day. Was wondering if it's subsided yet for the rest of you?

Thanks!
 
Due Dec. 30.

Just had a 6 week scan and saw the "blueberry's" heart beating! Exciting times!

Would love to meet up with people from the same due date club. Let me know the details!

Mine stopped a little before the 3 month mark. One day just realised I wasn't feeling nauseaous and could barely believe it. My tips for stuff that made me feel a little better:
1. Dry crackers/Sesame biscuits
2. Lemonade
3. Drinking a little water/eating crackers just before I woke up - that helps the puke not be so acidic.
4. Keeping my tummy full - rice was the easiest to keep down.

Nausea sucks...but in most cases, it does pass and then the second trimester is so much better. Good luck!
 
Hi Cali2hk,

I'm due Oct 6, my morning sickness took until about week 16/17 to subside and it was gradual. I'm at 18 weeks now and still feel nauseous alot but not throwing up anymore. I really feel for you, it's so awful and i hope it stops soon, nothing worked for me except trying to grin and bare it and also having time off work if you can help it - in HK you can have a lot of sick leave for pregancy so take advantage of it!

Big hugs
 
Hi everyone,

I've only just found this forum too. I'm due Oct 10th so am 17 weeks now and starting to feel something like bubbles which I think is the little one moving around but not too sure.

Would be great to meet up with some other mums-to-be due around the same time. Not sure if you have met up already but hopefully we can arrange something again soon. :)
 
Hi all.

Everyone keeps saying they're keen to meet up so let's get it organised. When can everyone do?!!

Let's say Saturday 21st or 28th somewhere in Central for a coffee - maybe Oolahh or something like that with plenty of tables and room.

Let us know ladies!!

Anneke - I started feeling kicking last week (around 17 weeks) for me it felt properly like a nudge rather than bubbles, but now i feel the bubbles too as well as plenty of nudging! Such a special feeling right?! It'll be kicking for sure, soon you'll wonder how you ever missed it! I'm not at the stage yet where it's annoying everytime it happens i crack a smile. It's so special.

Cheers
