Hi daddysangel n deepika..

Am taking Dumbarton 2 a day and ecospirin at lunch time.duphaston s progesterone supplement and ecospirin is for enhancing the blood flow.it 'll not harmful.I think they will stop once we complete our 16th week.

After u finish ur nt scan.they 'll prescribe fol123 mainly for dha, calcium and iron tablets.

Will stop folivite.fol123 is causing nausea for me.hope it vanishes soon.

 

Dear helpme,

Did u ask ur Dr? I think it is advisable to travel in ur fifth month.I think u 'll complete 4 month in early Feb.better talk to Dr and book the tickets.

 

Hello all,

I just want to ask you a question these precautions during pregnancy.. How much you ladies are following.. I am getting loads and loads of Free advices feeling sick of it.. My DH has bad mouth (Otta vaai) ... can't keep any secrets with him.. he went and told to some one in apartment.. news spread like forest fire..

Some of the free advices (Mainly from housewife)

1. I never step out of my house till my 8th month.. (--> Me go for walking inside my apt.. common area daily )

2. Dont travel in 4 Wheeler tooo Till 5 months
(--> 1. Me work from home, monthly once i have to report to office.. postponed that trip to complete my 3 months..
2. going to hotel to stop my craving 2 weeks once.. that too not very long distance.. with in 20km..in car
3. Or go to some temple on spl days..)

3. Are you cooking?? How you are able to do it !!!!!!! Appoint a cook.. or ask your mom to come and help you..
(--> Me My mom was there for 2 weeks .. and last week she has gone to home..for house shifting work.. and now i am alone.. cooking and my youger brother helps during weekends)

4. Don't bend.. dont walk.. dont stand too much....................blah blah...

5. For new year.. we have some indoor games (Carom) and some outdoor games.. and then some event we have in apartment.. (I get free advice.. not to participate in carom tooo.. )

6 Bought some flower plants to keep in my house on new year day.. so yday went and bought..yday..(Note : my DH only carried in car.. those plants..).. - Free advice - you can keep these things after delivery.. why r u doing now.. - I feel very happy to see.. if one flower blossomed also in my small garden..in the early morning

6. Some sad stories..some relatives got abortion doing this that...........(During that time.. i want keep my ears closed and behave as Deaf..) .. Dont they have any success stories to tell and encourage.. instead of that this bull**** stories.. which make us scared..

My god.. i feel like patient after hearing these free advices.. with out this advices..i feel i am perfectly normal whatever i am doing..

I know some of the advices are good for me.. but i cant sit at home like patient..

 

hi chitra,
it happens thats why i have not yet shared with anyone outside of my home.
i am working from home so nobody gets chance to see me ....i only informed my manager for working from home.

do u know people will give their comments on twins also so i have decided not to disclose it to others only say i have good news don't need to give details. trying to hide

 

Yes.. i agree with you swati.. informing abt twins again people will create more scenes.. but its difficult to keep the joy as secret.. since its the first baby.........

 

hi chitra,

all the advice they gave to you as above, are all loads of BS. Do not worry much about it. How can we be without cooking, walking, bending to take stuff, going in a car etc? How can we stay at home for 8 months?? Just listen to all these and nod your head and throw it out of your ears..

 

hi hermione,

no, I haven't asked the doc yet. Will ask him next time I visit. Also, i will need to travel between states too..One where my ILs live, one where my parents live, one where my sister's family lives. So got to use public transportation like train,flight,bus,auto etc. so kind of worried about all this..my DH is not very happy to send me off to India because of all this. But my parents n sis are all excited that I would be coming.. so kind of caught in the middle now.. not knowing what to do.

 

In my case its completely opp...I am getting NO advices at all, either from my Mom or MIL..Probably earlier i used to rebuff them whenever they siggested anything, so maybe they are avoiding any gyan to me.

Yde Had my 1st gynaec visit...we informed my BIL,SIL,ILs abt twins..and comment was typically yeah...'isnt this what happens by treatment??"

Anyways..have decidec to ignore it for now...

My gynaec hardly spoke much , just told me to avoid travel till Feb..Gave my blood samples yde for routine blood tests.

I have strangely lost 2 Kgs weight since last month...everyone is telling me I am looking stressed.!
Swati, give me some tips in how to manage maximum rest at home with ILs in control..I am dreading my DH moving to Blore next week and me spending 30-40 days with them
