Hi I'm new here. 5 weeks preggy. I lie in bed all dare. I'm too afraid to move
moving can bring blood to womb ... if you are not experiencing any cramps...you should move

hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and stumbled upon this thread while googling for some preggy info. I am currently in my 28 going on 29 weeks of my pregnancy. And it also took me 2+yrs to conceive via IVF. I can really understand those unfriendly comments of ppl who can conceive easily... So it's really heartwarming to find this thread! Anyone whose EDD also end jan 2015?
hello there... that would be me and @Archie7 ...
hello ecym and Archie7, so how are you gals feeling now? my bump was being commented still small even though my last appt gynae said my baby is growing well. And I'm still having reddish or brown discharge occasionally when I have bowel movement... my gynae put me on 1 mth utrogestan for this.... but 1 thing comforting is my boy is very active. so at least I know he is well in there! anyone of u has this prob? I have been spotting occasionally during bowel movement since 6 weeks preggy...this is d most traumatising thing to me since I have my bfp.....

Hi @misaemama nice to meet you! I'm actually feeling great except for the times when baby moves about too much and distracts me, and when I have the occasional discomfort, aches and pain that prevent me from sleeping soundly. I'm having a boy too, and very active too! Same for me, I noticed my bump is still quite small compared to other mummies I see on the street (maybe they're due earlier?), but gynae already said my baby will be normal but not big, due to my petite size, so as long as he's growing within normal range, I should have nothing to worry about. What I find the hardest is the motivation to do my exercises, like the kegel exercises etc.
I'm sorry to hear you have occasional spotting, I don't have that so I can't comment much about it, but stay positive, yeah? You've come this far… I'm sure your gynae already told you what warning signs to look out for which should prompt you to go to hospital immediately? Btw, which hospital are you with?
Maybe your placental is kinda low in position that is why you have on off spotting? So long gynae said bb is growing well... just follow what he/she says... We are in our final lap.... jia you jia you
thanks Archie7! my boy also kicks hard and jerks me off sleep at night sometimes. haha.. but it's fun and I like the bonding btw us. I'm with kkh since I did my cyst removal surgery and moved on to ivf. what about u? I have colleagues who are with TMC and I find that being in a govt hosp and private rate is not cheap....
I'm with Raffles. I like it for its nice environment and it's near enough to my office. Although KKH is nearer, within easy walking distance, I was scared I had to wait hours for each gynae appointment. I kind of regret going private becoz for every gynae visit and scan, I have to pay more than $200, and I have no insurance for that. Worse is when I fall sick and visit the GP, the GP will push me to the gynae to play safe, then the gynae will charge more than $300 for an "emergency" consultation. May as well cut a hole in my wallet and let the cash fall out, haha! Now just praying hard I will be able to have a normal, natural delivery, to save on the charges for caesarean and NICU. NICU is a huge money drainer in private hospitals.
Dear all, want to check, any of you are still on crinone insert after BFP? I am on my 7w now and I found that the clumpy discharge of the crinone getting a lot today (sorry for tmi), was wonder should I ask my doc to stop the crinone?
Thanks babe. Ok all is well i hopeAfter the end of first tri, you can stop all the support. How's everything?
The medication prescribed should last you for the duration that was discussed during your consultation. Why don't you give the doctor a call if you are unsure?Thanks babe. Ok all is well i hope
Just that i am supposed to be on progesterone support. But I had no appt with doctor since wk 7 and my next appt is wk 15. So have no idea when i am supposed to stop it.
He prescribed until wk 12, and actually i am supposed to see him in wk 13 for check up but my appt got postponed by KKH... I don't think can call him, even want to see him without appt is very hard.The medication prescribed should last you for the duration that was discussed during your consultation. Why don't you give the doctor a call if you are unsure?
Thanks StacyHF. Maybe I try stopping now. Am already coming to 13 wks and seriously the pills do make u a bit sick.I stopped at 12 weeks doc said it was ok. Hate the pills, it made me sick.
Hi dolly gal u wld have given birth already right? Congrats? How is princess doing?Hi_mei, I stopped my progesterone support till wk12-13 as my gynae said placenta shd have taken the job over.
How's everything?
Thats great! Do take care of urself too! Confinement period is important to give u strength for the long road ahead with ur blessed daughterMy princess is 16 days old now. In fact today is her actual edd. Yes when I m under tsb medication, my gal is always 1 weeks ahead growth according to the chart. But as long she is healthy n not too big, much gynaw has no concern over it.
Thank you dolly_gal again. So they are also ivf mummies with Dr Tham?
Twinklelight, my doc nvr say anything. Jus prescribed more dosage n say cos I did ivf. But I feel like i need some assurance. Then it is nurse who said I need to do genstational diabetics test in the next visit. Is it a common practice? How come it is not the doc to tell me n what to prepare or expect of in the next visit?
hi anyone with Benjamin Tham from TMC? is he good and attentive to ivf conceived? is his c stitches skilful? I am thinking of changing gynae in my 20 week now.
I am now moving to my 3rd tri.. Getting really nervous . Preparing some stuff for my baby arrival Liao.. Time really flies.. From the day of injections to 3rd tri.. Still in disbelief that I am finally pregnant.
Jiayou! Exciting times coming soon!! Finally u get to hold ur bundle of joy!!I am now moving to my 3rd tri.. Getting really nervous . Preparing some stuff for my baby arrival Liao.. Time really flies.. From the day of injections to 3rd tri.. Still in disbelief that I am finally pregnant.

Hello, there are many factors that a gynae may look at to determine if a mummy needs to go for GD test, tho i have not heard that ivf is a must. Dr Tham ordered a GD test cuz my bb weighs slightly bigger than avg then and i am older. I passed the test so no further tests needed.Hi mummies, I asked the nurse why i need gestation diabetes test and she told me it's cos ivf is high risk pregnancy so must test. So not sure if u all went for this test..
Can I kw if this test is also required by Dr Benjamin Tham and how much he charge for one duphaston pill and one utrogestan?

Omg can we skip this GD test?
I would agree with @Archie7, the test is to help u. It is probably better to go thru the test and if u suay suay really have GD, at least steps can be taken to control, and u can ensure that ur baby is safe and healthy. Is there a reason why u don't want to do it? I guess u could also monitor urself by getting the glucose test strips from the pharmacy but that wld be quite unnecessary. Better to do with doctor...The GD test is standard for all preggers. I did mine at the start of the 3rd tri. Why do you want to avoid it? It's good for you and bb as GD is very dangerous. If *touch wood* you have it, it's good to detect it early so that you can control your diet to ensure a safe pregnancy and delivery. If you don't have it, the test will confirm it and you can have peace of mind to eat well for bb to develop and grow properly.

Understand... Jiayou... U have already come so farThanks all. I will jus follow to do the test as it benefits. I jus worry I fail n to control diet is not easy..
Hi all, I'm new to this thread. Tested positive yesterday. Did IVF at KKH under Dr Tan HH.
Do you continue with the gyane who did the IVF or change gyane after tested positive?
