Hi all Mums to be!
Just became a member. am really excited as it is my 1st pregnancy, EDD keep getting earlier after each scan. Was on 28th Oct but now change to 24th Oct. At 11 weeks now. Baby is now 5cm
i was on multi vitamins only, initially on DHA but doc told me to start only on 2nd trimester. but some pple start eating already so what is what, who is right? for Folate, my gynae told since i am taking multi vitamins which has folate, no need folate pills. although i am approaching 12 weeks, i just started taking folate pills as well as i heard there is no over dosage for folate. just to be more kiasu...
i just completed my oscar scan. results only to come after a week later. baby must lie on its back then can do the measurements. haha... at first scan, baby was sleeping facing us so the sonographer cannot get the measurements and have to ask me to go walk about n come back 20 mins later. when we are back, this time baby turned and she can do all the measurements. but i find it really expensive leh.. $300 over dollars. but the scan took only 10 mins. the lab oso drew 4 tubes of blood from me. faints. i very long time nv give so much blood away...
i noticed this year of horse is really a baby boom year as i heard many people around me that got pregnant =).
i have also heard a few stories from my friends/colleagues' whoever that has a miscarriage and i think sometimes this kind of thing also depends on luck and health. bcos sometimes u bleed, or u feel pain, nothing's wrong while other stories i heard say baby no more... so it is really very worrying.
just last week i had abit of spotting. my colleague told me her sister got spotting and ended up having a miscarriage. after i heard this i rush to visit a gynae to check. baby's fine.
then yesterday at 6am, i woke up to pee, and i see a 'puddle' of clear watery discharge on my panties, i freaked out. called my husband up and went to gynae. did the ultrasound. baby's fine.
all these 'happenings' really freak me out and i keep paying money to go to gynae to check.. SIGH. so far, every visit to gynae is about $150-$200. plus the Oscar+FA scan package with TMC and blood test, this 2 month expenditures already hit 1k odd. Government give that 6K very fast will cover all of these..
