Hi Kylie

Congrats. I am 6 weeks pregnant and have already conducted my first doctor's visit. This is my first so i am quite excited too. Getting cooler in Aussie so take good care of yourself. As for me, I'm in HK so the weather is humid and hot.
 
Hi,
Im also from Hong Kong, currently 10 weeks, expected due date 20th Jan 2007. First time being pregnant, already had 2 ultrasounds, was amazing to see BB.
 
hi

Hi All,
I found I was pergnant in the weekend, would be around five and half weeks now. My first so I have been reading and researching and its quite overwhelming. But have been getting brown spotting as well so am absolutely concerned. Wonder if I should change my doctor as its all about waiting and seeeing...It would be keep nice it's nice to have a group that would be due around March as well if all goes well xxx
 
Hello newly pregnant women! I too am 6 weeks pregnant today. I have not told any friends or family yet. My husband and I decided to wait until after my first apointment next week. I was told to wait 6 to 8 wks before the first visit. I pushed my way in at the 7 week point. I live in Hong Kong, would any of you ladies recommend any doctors for the prenatal visits.
Tan, I would call your doctor about any concerns you may have. Its always nice to be reassured that everything is okay. Let me know what happened.
It will be great to talk with you girls over the next several months about our pregnancy. So far, how is everyone feeling and doing?
Keep in touch!

Still trying

Hey new moms,

my hubby and I are trying to get pregnant, but ...
... I got offered a really nice six-month job that I cannot refuse.

I'll be starting in August and now I'm totally undecided whether to continue trying or to wait 1-2-6 months... I'm not sure how hard it is to keep working, especially as this is a very demanding job and lots of visits and events around HK (not just sitting down in an office).

I'd like to know how you're feeling... nausea and all... and any advice is welcome!

Thanks
 
Dear Undecided,

If your husband is understadning and supportive of your new job venture then maybe that should be your focus. This is just a thought, but you could start trying towards the end of your job. Also, you may want to consider the level of stress you may be dealing with. You want your body and your potential pregancy to be very healthy.
As for my physical state, I do wake up nausau everyday and it is on and off throughout the day. I get very tired in the middle of the day but I get up and move around or go to the gym. It might be better that you don't ave a sit down job and will have the freedom to move around. But no drinkiing with clients, that's the tough part! I sleep really hard at night and usually ready for the day. Which is a plus. Also consider that you may not get pregant right away or you just might feel greeat being pregnant.
I don't know if I helped but you may want to also consider enjoying these next few months of work while letting nature takes it course.
Good Luck! I know you will make the right decision.
 
thanks!

Dear AshleeRae,

thanks a lot for your message! Sometimes I worry too much - I was afraid of being overwhelmed with many new things (arrival in HK, new job and then pregnancy!).
My husband is really supportive and he agrees with me that this job will more than a great experience, but also be a good way to meet people in HK.

I think you're right, maybe waiting a couple more months and than start trying again towards the end of my job... and see what happens!

Thanks again!
 
How nice to get messages, thanks for the reply xxx. Haven't told anyone yet and will not for a few more months. Spotting stopped after the day or so, and definitely saw my doctor, also have another appointment next week. We're on tenterhooks until we see something on the ultrasound (hmmmm)and I haven't had many symptoms, feel good, excpet perhaps a bit more tired.
To Undecided - Sorry, this is just from my experience and may not be relevant at all. If you are over-thirty I think it may be better to try to have a family sooner rather than later. Am wishing I did now! You may possibly feel less stress and it would be lovely to enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible. I am very career focused, but sometimes you just have to get pregnant and see what happens. There is always something important happening at work. But the older you get, well, the more tired you're gonna be in the long run getting back to work :wink:
Love to know what others think though and about their symptoms. Also I have to make a work trip soon and while the doctor thinks thats fine, do other people here travel for work in their first trimester?
 
Just trying to edit my last post but ran out of time - sorry Undecided, was trying to say that as you are already trying to have a baby than perhaps pregnancy can come first as like Ashlee says, you never know how long it takes to become pregnant. Good luck with the choice, will work out whatever happens x
Ashlee - pm you my doctor and opninion about him :)
 
Dear Tan,

thanks for your messages!

I have a feeling that it won't take long to get pregnant, if genetics is on our side (we both come from very large families, with every case scenario - twins, pregnancies over 40...). But guess we should keep on trying and see what happens! Who knows, maybe the baby is already on the way...

I'm 30, and starting to hear the clock ticking... especially as I'd like to have two or three...

Is this your first pregnancy?
 
Yes, this is my first pregnancy, am 34 now and we were trying for six months (it was longer time than that though as we were parted by trips etc). Will report back after the next appointment, tell us what happens with the job or other things ...! xxx
 
Its wonderful to be able to talk with other women who are pregnant about our complaints and issues. I am happy to help, Undecided, just keep us posted on your decisions and pregnancy news. You've got our support. Also Tan keep us posted on your health condition. You have to have faith in your body and you have been doing the right thing by listening to your body. I have had a few friends that have had difficult pregnancies and have been on bed rest but now they have wonderful beautiful babies.
Do you gals know of a lot of people who have had misscarriages? I feel like almost everyone I have talked do has had one first and then went on to having very healthy babies. It seems to be pretty common these days along with c-sections. I guess that's another decision to have one day.
I am coming upon 7 weeks now and I have feel worse. The first month I did not know but I had slept better in my life. Now I am very tired to the point of napping, I can barely get any food down. I have to force myself to eat. I am incredibly naseau everyday, from when I wake up in the morning until I go to bed. Not much has helped me but curling up in a ball. SO good times! Fun times, Haha! I am tempted to try these new preggie lollypops.
How is everyone else feeling these days?
I have my first appointment with Dr.Sally Ferguson this friday so lets see what she says. Should I expect my first ultrasound this trip?
Take care ladies!
xo Ashlee
 
Dears,

it's really great to be able to share! Decision time is delayed, as my husband is travelling... but I think I'll start the job first and see how that goes.

Ashlee, yes I do know many people that had miscarriages. It might be an interesting coincidence, but it seems to be proportional to the time they have given themselves off the pill... I also know a couple mums that had repetitive miscarriages when trying the second baby, while the first pregnancy was fine.

As for feeling sick, a close friend of mine lost 5 kg the first three months. She could not hold anything. Then one day, it disappeared. She's 7 months now and looks really pretty (did not gain much back, but has a really round belly).

As for me, no news here, still not pregnant, still undecided...

Good luck with your appointment!
 
morning sickness

I read other threads and there is loooots of people complaining about severe morning sicknes... guess it is close to impossible to avoid that!
 
its interesting you saying about miscarriages. A close friend of mine got pregnant and told everyone immediately, but then when she went for the scan there was nothing there. Now im obsessed with the fact that the same will happen to me.
My pregnancy wasnt planned - ive only been with my boyfriend 5 months and only been in Hong Kong 11 months - and ive never felt further from home! (Im from england). Im so glad ive found this website so i can talk to other people who are going through the same things as me.
 
hi

This week had a scan and heartbeat, very exciting. About six and a half weeks from conception. Am more tired than usual in the afternoon and if I have can I have a quick nap. Also have some nausea but its more that my appetite is diminished. Other than that have been feeling normal. xxx Hope you are all well too:agree:
 
Dear Tan, Marie, Mrs. Chan, Sisi, undecided and anyone else:

Maybe in September we can all get together and start our own little pregnant mommies group. What do you ladies think about that? Do you gals belong to other mom's groups as of yet? It would be great to talk about doctor's visits, midwives, body changes, you name it.
Hope everyone is doing okay! My first appointment is the Friday, very excited! What else happens with your first prenantal visit?
Talk Soon...Ashlee
 
Dear Ashleerae
I definately want to be in your mummy gang! At the moment my only friends in Hong Kong are ones i met in Lan Kwai Fong or Wan Chai, and now that i cant drink or stay up all night dancing i have kind of lost touch. Also, there is only so much baby talk people can take when they are not actually pregnant themselves.
It will be great to be able to talk about doctors and scans and baby names etc etc without feeling guilty!
 
AshleeRae - cool lets get together in September and have a lunch. Am not with any other mothers groups (hmmm are there organizations here?). Mistake in my last post, now 7 weeks on from last period, not from conception had a scan at almost six weeks and nothing ? quite amazing difference in a week.

Feel like I have been to the doctor so many times not sure what they would do if it were a first appointment. Definitely a blood test. Possibly urine test, weight measurement.
I think my book says you might be able expect discussion about what shots you have for immunization. If you don?t remember than they would check your blood test.
In the blood test, if you are too early for a scan, than they could check you hcg levels. Possibly your iron levels (common in my home country, not sure about HK).
You could talk about what you want from your doctor, what type of birth process they advocate, where they like to deliver etc. Haven?t done that fully yet, be interested to know if you like your doctor.
Marie, look forward to making a March group here, we can have a support network - all the people I know too are still having a great time drinking and carousing! much care xxx
