Ladies... I have to say byebye to this thread liao... AF reported this evening while I was at my girls' ballet class. So looks like this should be the end of my TTC journey bah. Next year 40yo liao... if I continue on, my next child might be just a few years older than my first grandchild... hahahahaha.... cannot lah!
You all have a wonderful pregnancy journey... enjoy each step... esp the 2nd trimester when most of you should start to feel better... thank you for putting up with this very imaginative old lady... unfortunately, my imagination is more fertile than my reproductive system... haha.
Enjoy being a Jan mummy... I shall remember to pop by when you all start popping...
those with december edds who are trying for jan babies... dong ok?! every night psycho baby to wait a little longer... heehee.
4season: the symptoms will go on and off one... no problem... it's just liddat... so you have better days than others... just rejoice on days when you don't feel so lousy, and look forward to good days when you are having a lousy one... and remember, it will soon pass, and before you can even blink, you will have a baby in your arms.
and then you blink a few more times, the baby will be 12 years old. hahahahahaha.
b3ll: hope all goes well with you! *fingers crossed*
tres: test positive means positive liao... no need gyn confirm one...
unless it is the very remote chance that its a "chemical" pregnancy... but those are quite rare. congratulations!!!
ally: awww, thanks... but there are other experienced mommies here too!
I'm sure they can help you too. In fact, some of my info might be outdated!!!
OSCAR: I think I never did the OSCAR testing... not for any of my three. I was quite young with my first, then after my first, my doc knows that I don't want to do any testing because I won't abort anyway, so he also never refer me for testing... so I also dunno whether it's compulsory or what... all I know is, I have never done it. I made my stand clear to my doc, and he is a Christian too, so he understood my position, so he never asked me to go for counselling or anything again.
even when my #3 showed red flags at the detailed scan.
I think it was on this thread that we were talking about children with special needs... I pray that all your children will be perfectly healthy and normal and wonderful... but I will just share with you that my 3 children actually all are special needs children. They go to mainstream schools, but my eldest is on the autism spectrum with aspergers and dyslexia, my second has dyslexia and my third has sensory processing disorder. these are all hidden disabilities that you don't see from the get go... so i pray that you never need advice in this area, but should you, I'm just a PM away.
That's why I said, moms of special needs kids just have to step up, and rise to the occasion and deal and manage and adjust expectations... it's not tragic... my kids bring me much joy... and they are a joy to their teachers as well... I'm so proud of them.
OK, very long liao... all the best everyone!
I knw the waiting time is very frustrating and really killing u but no choice, just hv to wait patiently n stay positive ok!!! Preferably to test at least one day after ur missed period. Watson got sell cassette type with urine stopper, can't rem the brand but I personally feel this is gd n abt $8. Cheaper than clear blue.U can give it a try
