It's happy to know that your due date is close to mine. I just had the checking last Friday (4 Jul) and was so happy. I could see the fingers and toes of my baby, and my doc said it is developed nicely. However, he won't be able to tell me if it is a boy or girl yet. Hopefully on next checking (a month later).
I haven't been to the gov's hospital yet, becoz of SARS and my laziness. I know I should go soon, so that I can join their free courses. You said your checking was like to be raped? I think I understand, coz I had the same feeling when visiting another private doc before. The one I used now is so nice and gental, even he is a man. Anyway, take care!
曲曲: Thank you very much! They are very useful, but I think I will leave them for those in need.
Heard that nowday doctor won't tell whether baby is boy/girl cause he don't wanna take the responsibility if baby really comes out differently. Don't know if it's true!! Anyway, my hubby & I agreed to rather have a surprise till give birth!
Yeah, I had the same experience on my 1st scan mid of last mth (12wk). My baby even scratch head in my tummy!! Very funny and the feeling of looking at him/her was so wonderful. However, too bad that govn't hospital not allow me to have a copy of the scan-picture.
My baby is now 14+ weeks. Do you still throw out alot? I still throw out nearly once a day, but it's already much better then before. My doc. said I shall get better and eat alot after 18 weeks. Really looks forward to that!
By the way, which gov. hospital you are having your check? I might go to the Prince of Wales, as I live at the North Side. Any comment? Thx!
Hi Coconut,
Woww, that's terrible! So far I've throw out twice since pregnant and the feeling were very bad already. Cannot imagine the feeling of throw out everyday!! Guess I'm quite lucky in this!! BTW, how much weight have you gain/loss so far??
Oh, about my 1st check-up, the exp. was so bad that now when my hubby touch me, I'll get chicken-skin immediately! Yuckkkkkk!
Hi rogavi818,
Sounds like u are eager to know your baby's sexuality!! Well, it's good to know to get things prepared though! So, have you decided where to deliver your BB??
Right, you are really a lucky mama. rogavi818 and I do throw out alot. Up to now, I loss around 4 pounds which is surprising coz I already try to eat more...
Don't think to much about your 1st exp. That was a exceptional case, and you need the support from your husband.
Have you started putting on those "Jel" on you tummy? I am so lazy and therefore my husband do it for me every night. You should start now if not yet...
Welcome ziggy! It seem that those 姑娘 in 廣華 are very nice! They even ask you if you want to know to carry a boy or girl...
I didn't ask my private doc to write me a cert. for the gov't hospital. I think I will call directly and see what I need to bring. :-P
rogavi818: Yes, I am sure you will get better soon. Even I throw out everyday, my feeling is already alot better then before. Just that I have to keep eating every 2 hours during the day.
If you are going to Kwang Wah, the following item you have to bring
-your husband and your ID copy
-letter to prove your are prenancy
-remember your last period first day, the nurse will ask you.
I feel better to eat the "dry" food, eg. sandwiches, bread, cake and biscuit; and also feel happier to eat the fresh fruits. But remember, do not eat banana, mango, lai chee and pineapple. And I you plan for natural birth, don't eat too much papaya.
ziggy:
Thank you very much for the detailed information. I haven't decided where to go yet. Possibly the Price of Wales, as I live in Fanling. But thanks anyway!
Sorry for "disappeared" for such a long time! Too busy at work! By the way, welcome Ziggy!!
Coconut, I'm also the same lehhhh, like to each every 2 to 3 hrs especially before mid-nite, and love sandwiches, shrimp dumplings and fruits very much. However, I heard that mango can cure vomitt, cannot eat mehhh?? Aiyyya I also eat Papaya every week!! Thought can help. . . .breast feed BB later on! Not the case mehhh???
My friend's mother told us not to eat papaya because it will 收子宮. Therefore if you are going to give natural birth, don't eat too much la! For mango, it is kind of "wet hot", and since you cannot eat any "cold" food. It is also not recommanded. But of coz, a bit of each should be no problem.
