oh, coz we're not going to abort anyway. Plus, we don't want to worry abt whether bb has DS or not. The tests have given so many parents-to-be unnecessary worries. Even when there's really no prob at all. I'm already quite old already, all the stats are stacked against me, so i'll likely get a bad result anyway so why put myself thru that. Handling MS is bad enough.
Some pp rationalise it that u can be better prepared if u know earlier. But i think u'll have plenty of time to be prepared and find out more later. Might was well have a happy & worry free preg.

not all ds kids can't take care of themselves. Some are perfectly well taking care of themselves but the parents must put in a lot of effort to teach.
Well, we can't worry too much anyway. Even for normal kids, we might leave very early before them. So what will happen then?

Jul: Next appt 18 Feb, taking the oscar test. Finally saw gynae 1st time today and detected beanie's racing heartbeat. No mutiples, I was thinkg quite nice if twins haha. but just a thought, I hardly think i can handle 3 children haha...
pinkmama: dun think so much la. hv to take hospitalisation leave also no choice. Sometimes bosses need to be more understanding. I hvnt told my boss yet that I am preggie. Think he wun be very happy, haha. Since I just had my #1 in Nov 2007. And he dare say at the performance evaluation meeting with other bosses, that he doesnt think I deserve a certain good grading (ie similar to my peers) cos I was away for 4 months on maternity leave and plus this time was off peak lor. I was mad when I heard abt this. 2007 was a peak year for my company lor. I worked my ass out for him even when I was pregnant, sometimes even US timing lor. All the way till just 2 weeks before my delivery when the project finally ended. And he dare say this. I mean, at the end, all the bosses still give me that good rating, but the harm is done. I no longer respect him that much. If he had told me he minded, I wouldnt be so mad. So that's y I dun think I owe it to the Company.

I also hope that I wun be on mc all the time. So bad for my perf rating leh. But what to do? Guess career gotta suffer for the sake of my babylet lor. Anyway I think my big boss doesn't like me. Dun think he gave me a gd rating for last yr. So I feel I also dun owe anything to the organisation liao. Babylet comes first.

my #1 always says 'didi, meimei' when i ask her which one she wants - so i take it that #2 will be 'didi' and #3 will be 'meimei' for her!
i hardly have any appetite too - most of the time, i eat a few mouth then i dun want to eat anymore. y'day was one of the rare occasions that i could just finish everything at one go! had reunion dinner with my family last night as we will be flying off on sunday for a short trip. noti me still eat the yusheng! hehe... but only ate 1 piece of sashimi!
pris, will pray for you! think positive! *hugs*
speaking of pple with ds, there's a boy who stays near me with ds but he is really independent. he's probably a teenager (i estimate his age) and he can buy his own food from the food court, feed himself and travel around on his own.
i think most of your antenatal packages are very reasonable leh - mine is $1,200 and $1,200 for natural delivery. :|
jul, i have plenty of outbreak too! every other day, a few new ones pop by! i can only 'ren' and try my hardest not to touch my face to avoid making it worse! went for a facial 2 days back coz i couldn't stand it anymore.

fat bobo, jul04, weishy: Haha... Honestly, looking around at some of my SAHM friends, I keep asking myself why I can't be like that. But I know it's just not me. Not that I don't want to spend more time with my baby or doing things I like, but I kinda like the stuff I am doing and have quite a bit of flexibility at work despite the long hours. And another thing, I am not willing to give up on my financial independence (no offence to any SAHM, but this is what I think). Sigh, so I always hv this guilt that I am not spending enough time with my baby. He's 14 months now and a load of joy. He hurries to welcome us home every night when he hears the door open and always look so happy when we are home. Cheers me up all the time, esp after certain bad days at work. Here's my bb Matthias...

haha, i was like that before i got married and have a kid. Used to think i'll be a career woman who'll balance work and family. But, alas, not meant to be. Now i'm happy staying at home with my boy. ALtho sometimes can feel alittle frustrated but always look forward to fetching him from school.

mashy: Ya I remember my ex boss always tells me my mentality will change once I have kids (I was married then, but din stop me!) But after hvg #1 and trying to balance work/life for this 14 months, I think I did managed to struck some balance but I have to agree it's tough. But then, for some reason, I still feel I can do it. But now with #2 on the way, i really don't know if I can handle 2 kids and balance a job. But sigh, I am just so reluctant to bow down and say I can't handle. My hubby thinks the nice way to say it is that I am perserving, but the bad way is that I am stubborn... So he just leaves the decision up to me...
Looks like there are a lot of horses here. Haha... My 2 other very very good friends since young are also having moo moo babies. I can imagine our gatherings in a year with these moo moos crawling around. haha...
Michele: Ya my prev gynae also charge me $1,200. I called again this time, he raised his cost to $1,600. But no choice, since I won't be following him throughout the pregnancy (since I am not in Singapore) though I will get him to deliver for me. So it's more pricey cos he prob have to cover his risk.

Good morning all,
I just went for my 2nd apptm last night. And this time round, the nurse did take my weight and doc took my blood pressure. Next visit would have the blood tested. I only put on 0.7kg since i last weigh, which is during week 6 ( GP had weigh me ). I had been eating so much but yet put on less than a kg. Amazing. My mum was saying my baby has taken it all from me, and advise me to eat more now.
I could see baby growing. Last visit at Week 6, its oni 0.71cm. Yday it had grown to 4.71cm!!! And we can see it turning, plus the limbs can be seen clearly. So happy and find all the uneasy n MS worthwhile.
Dr also let us know abt the DS tests and all. We decide either not to do any test or just to take the blood test, which would be 70% accurate and cost abt $90+. My next visit would be 16Feb, by then I would be 15weeks. Now I cant wait for the next visit to see my baby again
