Hello mummies, congratulations to all!
I just found out that I'm nearly 5 weeks pregnant but have not done a scan yet nor have I decided on an obstetrician. Would love to join the group for your gathering, I can't this thursday so hopefully I can the next time. Will keep visiting this thread and hopefully get to meet you all soon.

Morning Girls! Welcome and congrats Angeilin!
How are you all today? I hope you are having a good morning so far.
I've had a bit of a stressful night. I woke up at 2.30am with quite bad period-like cramping. I also had a really gassy stomach, so it was so uncomfortable and it really stressed me out. I managed to get back to sleep and it seems to have subsided this morn. My boobs also felt less tender today, so that worried me too. Everything worries me at the moment. Haha!
My first scan is next Thursday but my hubby is wanting me to try to change it to Monday as he might not be able to come on Thurs and also because I'm stressing so much. I think it might be better to wait till Thurs though as I'll be nearly 6.5 weeks and may be able to see a heartbeat. If we go on Monday and can't see a heartbeat and then I have to wait another two weeks I'll go insane. What do you ladies think?

hi pink ballerina
i am in the exact same position as U!
i keep wanting to go to a scan .. asap. to check if everything is ok! ..... but then i keep thinking if go at week 5 or 6, its too early and wont see anythign at all!
but for the "stress" i think best to go early. ie monday or thurs.. - monday if yr hubbie cant go with u on the thurs!
at least u feel " less stressful after that" and u can ask the docs as much questions as u want!
then i suggest u go again in week 9! thats what i am planning to do! and then can see more and the heart beat etc! and then again at week 12.. and then mabye less after that!!
i also want to see heart beat but i also want to just go to doc to make sure everything is ok etc! so maybe u just go once and dont hope of seeing too much! but at least be at ease everything is ok! then going again in 2 weeks ish time?
i booked mine for next friday. i will also be 6.5 weeks!

Babymo the waiting is sooo tedious isn't it!!
After thinking about it this morning I think I'll wait until Thursday because hopefully there will be more chance of seeing a little heartbeat. My husband is going to try and move his meeting so he can come but if even if he can't I guess at least I'll (hopefully) have some peace of mind in the meantime. I'm pretty sure the next scan will be 2 weeks after that (at 8 weeks).
I wish next Thursday would hurry up and get here!!!!!!!

Hi, just me again. I have a question...
Does anyone know if you can eat packaged ham or turkey breast? I am craving a meat sandwich but am paranoid about what you can put on it. I used to use BBQ chicken a lot but I've heard thats out. I had tuna yesterday but I've heard you can't have that more than once or twice a week or something.
It's such a minefield! Any suggestions for me?

Why is BBQ chicken out (and where do you get that in HK), I thought that was fine as long as it is freshly cooked, and cooked through. I thought all deli meats are out so I have stayed away from ham or turkey breast. Am also interested to know if this is ok or not as am stuggling to find things to put in my sandwich too.
hi girls
hi hi
i was reading.. that we should avoid these foods:
- soft cheese such as goat, brie, cambembert and blue cheese
- unpasteruized milk/juices
- raw or under cooked meats, including hot dogs, and deli meats
- raw eggs, or food containt raw eggs, including mousse and tiramisu ( dohhhh!!)
- raw shell fish
-pate

Hi Girls,
As far as I know, BBQ chicken is fine as long as you eat it hot but I used to put cold BBQ chicken on my sandwiches and I think that can be when it's dangerous. Just FYI, you can buy BBQ chickens from Great Food Hall at Pacific Place (Admiralty), Olivers in the Princes Building in Central. There is also another shop in Mid-Levels where I live called "Chicken on the Run". They sell BBQ chickens imported from Australia. I go there a bit because my hubby is addicted to Burger Rings and Twisties and thats the only place I've found to buy them. They sell Freddo Frogs as well! Great when you have any "Aussie Food" cravings.
I'm going to ask my OB about the ham and turkey when I see him next week. I was thinking that if it's packaged and therefore not sitting out with other meats, it might be OK. Will keep you posted.

Thanks everyone for the update on the food - always good to know. No morning sickness for me yet, but beginning to need a day nap here and there. Last time I was pregnant, the morning sickness kicked in around 8 weeks and lasted around 3. I wasn't physically sick, but felt pretty aweful. I kept a box of biscuits or some cut fruit & veg (celery/ carrot etc) with me and found if I didn't have something to eat at least every hour, I was going to be sick. I am hoping it is not any worse than this this time around!
Hi babymo,
Morning sickness were very little and not everyday since week 5. I was pretty lucky, it wasn't bothering me at all. But since friday (week 7), it is becoming BIG and really enoying...
When I wake up I'm fine, it comes right during/after breakfast. I have a hard time to eat in the morning, I just have a kiwi + a banana + 1 yogurt, that's all I can eat.
Later, around 10:30/11:00, then it's really strong...Since yesturday I tried to eat some crackers at that time, and it helps a little.
At around 1pm, it's finished. I can have a normal lunch, with no problem. I even carve for junk food ! I'm dreaming of burger, pizza, fries,...things I rarely eat !!!!! yes I know it's very strange !
Some other food starts to bother me, and smells also ! As i said earlier, the smell of my shampoo make me
Bad for me, my hair cut makes me have my hair close to my nose

All I've had so far is a little bit of nausea on and and off. Last Friday it got quite bad but I wasn't at the vomit stage. Since then I've had waves of it but nothing too serious. I just got back from the shops and I think travelling in the taxi made me a bit queasy.
zany, I'm also finding some smells are a bit off putting. I'm refraining from going to the Wellcome supermarket on Caine Road (anyone been there?). They cook meat in there and I couldn't even stand the smell when I wasn't preggers, so probably safe to avoid it for now.
I just bought myself some pregnancy magazines! I was a bit worried that I might jinx myself but thought what the heck! I bumped into a friend while browsing in the magazine section but luckily she didn't take note of what I was looking at. Haha.
