suying,

for BT, no need fasting for preggie...otherwise we will faint before we take our blood lol....grab something to eat before the BT....



iko,

really very interesting, mine still 3wks away....long waiting!!!!



janice,

we can only know the gender by 20wks...if boy, u can 'catch' the 'bird' earlier, ard 16wks bahhh!!!

 
Just curious ladies, if your gynae is a male and I heard they will check our boobs. Is it uncomfortable? I am not sure whether shd I go for female or male gynae. Any advise is good for me? Thanks in advance.

 
Jan-ice> still too early to tell the gender.. I think the follow up appt for now is 1 mth once.. Where r u now? I'm moving to HK in feb but I'll still be coming back for prenatal visits n delivery.. Oopz!



Suying> Tdy zhun zhun week 11 lo.. The scan took abt 20mins only.. The nurse nvr say whether can take food but I din take la.. Cuz usually we r supposed to fast b4 blood test right?

 
suying, muffin > ok, thanks.. Ya, he told us the NT Scan and blood test optional. We are supposed to tell him our decision in 2 weeks time.



Jan-ice > I would prefer female in this case. I did a v-scan once and the gynae was a male, very uncomfortable feeling.



sunshine > how about eating porridge? or if really no appetite, drink the rice water aka the porridge water? at least bb gets some food.. slowly ba.. don't force.. hmm.. thats what i did when i feel so bloated and indigested. Find rice hard to swallow and the taste of noodle turns me off.



perhaps soya drink helps too.. my doc used to asked me to take soya drink when i feel bloated.

 
thanks xinyue

then i saw hubby eating kfc..i took his mesh potato to eat...n i can finish all...think i shld chg to soft food...as wht u say maybe porridge...the indigestion really killing me

 
feimei.. lolz... thkqs. so scare to take BT on next tue. somemore head iko say 3tubes. omg.... woli i faint b4 the needles poke mi ;(



janice... nv heard gyne will check boobs?? check for wat huh!!



iko... wow... moving to hongkong but still coming back here. i really envy u. wow... zhun zhun ya... we still gt a long way to go. so yr ETD is early Jul??



yes sunshine... last nite i jus drink soya bean milk only. cos no appetite at all ;( even today lunch i will be taking porridge. dunno hw much i can intake. my taste buds is bitter nw.

 
Hi everyone, I'm also going for my OSCAR scan this coming 16 Dec.. I'm scared. Seriously what else do they do beside blood test?

 
sunshine > np.. not sure if we can take barley or not, else barley also helps in bloated-ness.





btw, u all eat sour plums to help with the bitter taste buds?

 
ya suying...gyne will check ur boobs, my 1st pregg during 1st visit the male gyne will check my boobs...only the nurse in with the gyne...they sent my hubby out to wait for me...so funny, therefore i chg gyne

 
yes xinyue...i eat sour plum when i feel mouth bitter or nausea...i really help



tmr my 2nd visit...hopefully everything go smooth...starting to get paranoid again...cos feel my tummy so flat when laying on bed and the boobs like not so sore as b4 (but needle poking feel still gg on).

 
suying,

very fast one...jus turn ur head to one side, dun see....less than 5mins, nurse will tell u done lol...the pain is like ants bite, a short while n ok ler...dun stress urself....



xinyue,

ang mo barley can take but avoid chinese barley...but take in moderate not too much.

 
checking of boobs

this is my 3rd pregnancy and so far my gynae has never checked my boobs leh.

just curious, why they need to check boobs?

what are they looking out for?

 
sunshine > ok thanks. why must check the boobs?

don't worry, all will be fine.



feimei > ok, thanks.

 
starry and xinyue...ya i also wonder why gyne check our boobs...is it they wnt to check any lump or??? cos mine tht gyne press on them he even check the nipples too...feel so funny therefore chg gyne...my new gyne nv check on my boobs during 1st visit leh

hi all mummies

not sure if you all feel the same or not but ever since i am pregnant i dun feel like doing anything except for sleeping...just no mood and feel sian...am i normal? coz usually during xmas time i am very happy coz i like xmas but now seem like so boring..feel v sian



my nurse say do blood test can eat food before that..i asked and she say can.



check boobs? erm...no leh ...first time no check boobs leh...



cant wait for weekend to come again so can sleep...last nite i finally sucumb to my first instant noodles...the korean one...very yumz but feel guilty...

 
oh one mroe thing..i've asked but nobody answered...or could be lost in the sea of threads...keke



have you all started to apply stretch mark creams already?

 
feimei: I started panting fr 5 weeks, like just ran 2.4km lidat. Now I know it's due to low haemoglobin level, cos we are producing blood for bb so the amt of red blood cells is distributed out, so each ml of blood has lower haemoglobin level. Try to increase your intake of iron-rich food eg. green leafy veg, red meat such as beef and liver. I took some of those and it helped to a certain extent.



suying & feimei: I also craving for chips lately, but try to limit my intake cos those fats are no good for us. Cos if next time postnatal cannot regain back our miao-tiao shape shape it would be so depressing...

 
Jan-ice, I keep track of the days when we had intercourse. For most ppl, the LMP won't be the day u conceive.



I heard TMC has packages for OSCAR test. Anyone care to share the charges and what is included? Those who had done OSCAR test, do we need to fast the night b4?



Took leave today. Feeling sick and dizzy. Had been puking since yesterday.

 
ST: Same here. I only feel like eating and sleeping since I conceived. Always so tired. Dun even have the mood to dress up nowadays, feel like getting so fat and uncomfy.



I haven't started applying stretch mark cream, dunno when we should start too.

 
feimei, try to catch some sleep in the ladies. that is what i am planning to do when i go back to work next work.



ST, i also like that. whole day in bed just surfing n watching cable. i also love xmas period esp the shopping and i have not been feeling the mood. thus wanna go shopping centre to feel it but no energy le



ST, i have not started applying. will only apply after 1st tri. better to be safe. but i know some who hv started applying

 
Brainysmurfs: OSCAR test dun require fasting. Usually tests that need fasting are things like diabetic glucose test to test for amt of sugar in blood.

 
oh so i am normal lah...haha dunno why change of mood lah...i try my best to soak in the festive mood but still cant lah..hope all of us get better after 1st tri...



i have frens who started to use stretch marks cream liao...mayb aft first tri then will start too...



haiz cant wait to go home too...

 
Hi pillow4, i am also doing those light household chores just that when i was mopping the floor this morning, it occurred to me that the smell from the floor cleaner might not be too good for the baby...haha maybe should get my hubby to do

 
Morning MTBs!



Last night, at about 0100hr, I had such bad cramp that my hubby rushed me to KK 24hr clinic.. Was worried about my beanie.. Surprise to see no patient in the clinic.. good I am the only patient.. waited a while for the doc to come and immediately, doc did an u/s on my abs. According to my LMP, beanie is at 9W1D.. but was advised that I m 2 days away to 10W le.. confused..

nvm.. still cramping, and the doc did a u/s to show me the twinkling beanie.. den after that, showed me the heartbeat chart.. bom bomm.. bom bomm.. and played it out loud.. wahh.. suddenly tummy not painful liao... i wanna jump in joy! forgot to ask the beats per min..

left the clinic with painkillers and tummy cramp.. o.0"

my DH was driving him smiling.. he 4got all about my cramp zz..

pillow,



I use to like spicy food but I refrain from spicy food now. The reason being is that I get heart burn when I take spicy food. Very uncomfortable feeling in my throat. If you take spicy food, and you dun have problems like indigestion, constipation or heart burn, then should be ok lo..
