Yah, my biggest worry is when suey suey something happens and i need the cord blood, but didn't store.. Haiz, so many things to think about siar.
My gynae also in KKH. THH asked me see back my gynae at week 8 then my gynae scheduled week 12 after first appt, on the same day I have oscar scan. Done my blood test last week.
By the way, will IVF affect Oscar results?

Well, it depends v much on how u look at it. Like my SIL when I asked if she stored, she told me she did not as she feels that everything is fated & if it happens then leave it to the one up there. But for me I feel differently. I don't want any regrets on the "if only" situation to arise. So yeah, u just gota weigh the pros & cons yourself & your comfort level whether to store or not.

I felt mine at about 23rd week. Was worried initially why most people can feel it much earlier but my gynae said it would usually be more obvious in week 22 or 23. My placenta position was anterior (front of the womb) so I thought it might have cushioned the initial movements which were less "forceful".

I finished up what he prescribed in week 12 or 13. It's supposed to stabilise the pregnancy and usually not needed after first trimester. Better to check with him Dr Tan. Can call up clinic D n ask the nurse to check for u.

U will see ur doctor to review the NT scan result (Oscar scan). So appointment is still abt 4 weeks apart in 2nd trimester.

With KKH. My last gynae appt was at week 8. Just did my OSCAR a few days ago, the dr who reviewed the result with me wasn't my gynae but another one at ADC (antenatal diagnostic centre). My next gynae appt is at week 16.
IVF won't affect OSCAR results. My results turned out to be very low risk.
The Oscars results is immediate after scan?
Can I ask what's your age? I didn't do any test (except detailed scan) for my last 2 pregnancies so not sure what to expect or if IVF or age will affect a great deal. Hope everything will be ok. Your EDD also in Nov?

Duphaston is to be continued until at least 12 weeks of pregnancy - there's a piece of paper attached to the 1st scan form when we are tested positive for pregnancy indicating so (for those who are with KKH). Rationale's that around 12 weeks the placenta will take over the progesterone production from the follicles (corpus luteum), so the pregnancy is usually stable after that. Individual gynaes may still advise continuing until later part of pregnancy, so yes do check with your gynae.
In my case I stopped taking at 8 weeks after seeing my gynae and she advised that it's fine for me to stop. Mainly due to the nausea I was having, and I still had big multiple corpus luteum seen during the scan done during consultation.

I'm 34 this year. The OSCAR results is released immediately after the scan, just that have to wait for the doctor to review the results (as the one doing the scan is a sonographer). My EDD's 9/11 (originally 14/11), got adjusted after the OSCAR scan as it's more detailed and accurate compared to the first scan.
Thanks for the details! Looking forward to mine next week!

Do enjoy the moment. You'll get to see baby very clearly - the sonographer who did my scan showed me all the parts of baby from head to feet, including brain, spine and heartbeat, and gave me some of the scan photos (not all, cos there's a lot of photos taken for the individual parts for the calculation purpose. Just those showing bb in full and head shot). And don't expect to know gender yet - too early!
Do empty your bladder for the scan. The counter staff will tell you when you arrive at the clinic.
I saw my friend's Oscar scan from another hospital, it was so clear. Wonder if the ADC one is also as clear! Did the sonographer tell you that the measurements are alright?
Hope for healthy baby, gender is secondary (in fact not intending to find out till I give birth).

Never seen scans from another hospital, to me the scans at ADC are clear. The sonographer only mentioned about CRL (crown-rump length), didn't mention the others and didn't say whether the measurements are okay. She said the dr will go through the results with me after the scan. But I did some read up before the scan, so I roughly know the measurements are okay by looking at the measurements shown during the scan. The doctor gave me a copy of the OSCAR result during the review, and the measurements are stated in the report.

Yup, i did some research on this too... If the child has a genetic condition, usually the doctor won't wanna risk. But i see alot of environmentally triggered diseases nowadays too, and that it's more of a peace of mind that i do it... When i did it for my first child, i feel obliged to do for my 2nd child too... LOL... It's like storing their raw stuffs since day 1. I did placenta encapsulation too! Although i never eat them.........,. :O

Hmm? I remember meeting THH after doing the Oscar & the 20th week scan on the same day respectively.
I believe it could be the works of the counter nurse who did the scheduling of appointments. In the event if you want to meet THH nearer, you can request. No need to wait 8 weeks apart. That's like far too long.
8 weeks feel so long... But actually scan time can see baby so maybe helps to put more at ease..
Depend whether ur Oscar date n his review date fall on the same date. For me I asked the nurse to arrange on the same day. As for DR Tan appt 2nd tri is every 4wks once. 3rd tri, he will change to every 2wks.

Actually other than the waiting time, good to see him more often (feel good factor) especially when the govt gives us S$900 for the pre-delivery expenses

Were you referring to this https://www.moh.gov.sg/content/moh_...bsidies/Marriage_and_Parenthood_Schemes.html? If that was what you meant, that is medisave, i.e., our money, not govt money, so no, govt never give any money for this case.

I'm also paying Pte rate but seeing handsome at clinic D. They didn't switch me though it was mentioned that they will transfer me to tps after 1st tri. Anyhow we didn't probe further as tps is fixed on Tuesday only while clinic D is like they schedule u in any day which we are fine with it. And surprisingly the waiting time is relatively short. And so far we manged to see him on the day we have scans at ADC. So maybe it's all abt coinciding with his schedule.
Btw, when is a good time to start drinking coconut water??

Hello, mummy,
I could be wrong, i think govt did not give you $$900 for pre-delivery expense, i think they merely allow you to use your up to $900 from your very own medisave account to pay for pre-delivery expense.
The difference is very significant ya. Cheers
Thanks bunny! I was thinking they dun provide, I need to buy those front button pj
