Do we need to worry about what we eat during pregnancy

Do I need to worry if I ate something that should not be eaten during the entire course of pregnancy. Eg of things I only realized later that I shouldn’t be eating because I didn’t know I was pregnant or I didn’t know is risky include ginseng, sharks fin, peach gum, alcohol. But despite all the advice on Internet that says this or that cannot be eaten, I have not seen any pictures or solid evidence of bad outcomes in any articles or forums (I tried searching all over) . Most are just preemptive advice or inconclusive. But after so many women and years, there is not much real evidence. Do we worry for nothing? My detailed scan is coming up. I just hope that no issues will show up.

Actually, the above are just recommended to avoid. Some preggos do take them in moderation as well. I read somewhere where they mentioned that preggo mummy in Japan drink alcohol during pregnancy cause it has health benefits. Not sure if you’re Chinese but there’s a saying 不知者无罪😂 I went for double eyelid surgery (incision under GA), spammed so many half boiled eggs and pineapple juice (for recovery) without knowing I’m pregnant 😂 (Thank god my baby came out full term and healthy 🤞🏻) I would say, everything in moderation. Don’t worry and stress too much. 😉☺️

Feeling uncomfortable

Only 12 weeks but can’t tell the difference between being fatter and a growing baby. But it’s getting quite uncomfortable especially during the midday. I feel that my skin and fats are now being trapped higher below my chest instead of being at the waist/hips 😅and it is making sitting / working quite uncomfortable. Any method of relief or shared experience?

do more stretches and move around more often. week 12 is still quite early, it’ll get harder and feel more physically arduous as your pregnancy progresses. good to practise more stretching now

Loss of symptoms?

In week 8-9 now, and felt that symptoms have alleviated over the last 2-3 days. Prior to this, symptoms of slight nausea, bloat and fatigue started around 6-7 weeks. At this time, the symptoms are supposed to get stronger and peak. I understand that symptoms come and go. But 1) how long does it go for it be to too long. When do we seek medical attention. 2) is it usual if the symptoms go (as early as first tri) and never come back. For context my last check up was at 7 weeks And all stats are normal including heartbeat. I also had an earlier missed miscarriage before this. Ps I’m concerned about loss of symptoms for days as opposed to having no symptoms from the start. There seems to be no clear answers in old posts #firsttimemom Thanks all!

just to share that I had no symptoms except for odd taste in mouth throughout my pregnancies... such symptoms cannot really be used as exact indication whether pregnancy is healthy or otherwise

Anyone also with low energy levels

I used to be quite productive. Eg working on several things in 1 day, making sure every day is fruitful but now I’m hardly doing half a thing well. All the funny tummy feelings and queasiness and tiredness and lack of energy.. first tri now..when will my energy come back?!

I was like that on 1st tri. But thru this process of feeling nausea, tired, etc. I told myself do one thing at a time and do it slowly. Do whats important and least important will be later. If you can get helping hand will be great otherwise do it slowly. Dont push yourself so hard to do something productive. It is just hormones in the body that tires you out. So do what you can only. Having said that if I feel energized and not tired I do as much as I can for that day. Hope this helps.

Frequency of pooping in early pregnancy?

How often do you poop? What did you take to ease constipation? Is diarrhea a concern?

When I pregnant with the first it is very easy to pass motion normally. However, for second pregnancy between 7 weeks to 11 weeks I can't pass motion. During that hospitalization I requested for lactulose on top of other medication prescribe to me during my days in the hospital. But I was not admitted due to constipation, it was because of other medical reason. If you feel that your stool is watery and every few mins of visiting restroom could be stomach flu virus. You should be visiting the nearest clinic to get proper medication otherwise it will trigger your pregnancy.

Fading sore breasts at 5-6w

Is it normal for tender breasts to fade at 6 weeks? (Started near 5 weeks and since then has been becoming less tender!) Not sure if l’m a fast adapter or something more worrying.

you’re over worried! haha it’s normal cos hormones are regulating

Symptoms at 5-6w

4w5d: Tested positive on hpt at end of 4 weeks. Had very painful / tender breast at that time which led me to test. 5w: However within 3 days, tenderness faded. Boobs still abit sensitive but on a scale of 10, probably about 1. At 5.5 weeks, scan showed normal results. 6w: Expecting more symptoms to kick in, but other than constipation and a mild tiredness time to time, and slight queasy feeling 2 days ago, not feeling anything much. Never puked or gagged. To the extent that I don’t feel pregnant on most days. Although I want to be assured, one scan doesn’t say a lot. Does above count as no symptoms or fading symptoms? Anyone has the same experience, slight tender boobs, abating/no symptoms till wk 5-6 but okay?

My last pregnancy ended up in a miscarriage where there were a lack of pregnancy symptoms and now at week 7, I worry everyday if I wake up not feeling nauseated! ☹️
