thanks all for sharing information and experience, it helps lots especialy first timers. for me luckily i didnt have any extreme symptoms , no vomit, no morning sickness, only sometimes i didnt like the smel of some foods, dizzines also only sometimes lasts few seconds, but i slept a lot during 1st trimester , felt exhausted all the time like no energy .
2nd trimester also no major symptoms except once u start on iron tablets u get constipation problem which can be bad, so i try to eat more fruits n salad.
n recently i started using stretch mark cream ,at times when stomach skin feels stretched it feel itchy , cream makes the skin soft n no itchy.
since i wud be delivering in sgh , i am joining antenatal classes there starting next week, lets c how it goes,
when i registered for the class they gave me a book guide for healthy pregnancy , in tht i came across 4 methods of pain relief not sure which one to choose which have least side effects.
1. injection of pain reliving drug like pethidine
2. inhalation entonox thru a mask
3. epidural
4 transscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
this is drug free method , small device attached to ur back to reduce pain
ps share ur experience if any1 has used any of this methods
during confinement period , i have not decided wht to do i have no clue regarding confinement nannies , how much they charge , where to find , can the hospitals arrange ? do they stay at home or come for few hours?
is it better to get a ful time maid or confinement nanny?
