Usually fathers will need to take the blood test at KKH, SGH and NUH or you can say gov hospitals..if your next few pregnancies will be at the following hospitals..fathers need not do it again for they have the record..To test for Thalassaemia
Thalassaemia is an inherited blood disorder which is caused by an abnormal gene. A person with thalassaemia is unable to produce normal, functioning haemoglobin in the blood.
Haemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. When the body is not able to produce normal, functioning haemoglobin, the affected person suffers from anaemia.
Thalassaemia is passed on from parent to child and can affect both males and females. In Singapore, about 3% of the population are carriers of the thalassaemia gene.
At least your hubby is negative then your kids will just be thalessemia minor from you so still not that badI am a thalassemia minor and it was discovered when i was very young. My gynae still took the blood test again anyway. When it was confirmed that it's positive, he then sent my hubby for the blood test too. Luckily my hubby was tested negative. But both my kids inherited my thalssemia. I hope my #3 won't..
My gynae clinic asked my hubby to take during 1st pregnancy and since this is 2nd and they have his record so no need to redo test but I tot it is a norm to do this test be it private or publicUsually fathers will need to take the blood test at KKH, SGH and NUH or you can say gov hospitals..if your next few pregnancies will be at the following hospitals..fathers need not do it again for they have the record..

How come there is no privacy at all!
This is not the usual practice at my gynae's. Whether it's pap smear, VE or just a routine scan, my gynae would call a nurse in(if i don't have a companion), draw the curtains before performing any tasks on me. When he is done, he would pass me tissue paper and cover me up with the blanket before leaving me to dress up behind the curtains. But i realised that the situation can be different in hospitals. It's almost normal to have my legs wide open while many nurses walked in and out to check on my dilation during delivery. But so far i have not encountered any other male nurses other than my own male gynae. I would feel uncomfy too if i were you..

Lucky my gynae did it else as a newbie mom to be no one know what test must do or not to doFrom what I know..not all privates have this practice..majority from my Feb Group Mummies didn't know about this till we brought it up..then they enquire from their gynaes..
Even for my #1..I took private..my gynae didn't mention this either..
It was but I hope things get better.

It will be better! Each and every visit to the gynae's is always an exciting one for us. To be able to see baby squirming and kicking and hear the heartbeat thumping away. Everything is worthwhile!
Hi mummies... Anyone started using stretch mark creams? I'm currently week13 and read that it's best to start in second trimester. Any brands to recommend?
huh? why apply on buttock and legs ? they will expand mehI already start applying last week. I am week 13 too. EDD 18 Jan
Around tummy, buttocks and legs haha
I already got stretch mark prior my pregnancy haha
My sis said she apply tummy only then ended up tummy no stretch mark but got stretch mark on the legs and side of the tummy, waist there towards the end of her pregnany and she is super skinny kind only put on 13kg.
Since need to apply, just apply all over. hahaha

Butt wun expand meh? hm, I seen my sis and my colleague butt got bigger.
it is our pelvic that expand not really butt leh the amount of meat still sameButt wun expand meh? hm, I seen my sis and my colleague butt got bigger.
I started applying maybe 2-3 weeks ago. But not v regular lah. When I remember every other day or every 3-4 days then I apply on my tummy, boobs and thighs. LOL.
Currently Clarins Stretch Mark Control Cream. Did consider Bio Oil or Clarins Body Toning Oil, but I'm a lil adverse to the idea of applying oil on my body. Does Bio Oil absorb quickly?
it is our pelvic that expand not really butt leh the amount of meat still same
i am using clarins, but i bought palmer cocoa butter as well (buy the unscented ones)
apply at tummy, breast, thighs and butt area.

I think the idea with oil is that don't start with a lot. haha I always drip a few drops then massage and massage if it gets a bit dry then I drip a few more. Need a while to absorb but no sticky feeling. I think coz I don't smear a lot! haha
I see, the pelvic... My sis also complain she can't fit into her own pants. she was hoping the hip already will shrink back haha
Wah.. Apply boobes~ My hub help me apply my lower body. haha will tell him need to apply boobs too!!
Tummy not worry cos we have our skin and the baby has another layer of amnio fluid as protectant mAh ... Breast nothing lehI see... ya also worried about the oil on the boobs haha. My hub also worried about the oil over my tummy at first, but we just went ahead with it last week. Previously was just legs and butt area
Hi Anyone seeing gynae at SGH? or Dr Y.C. Goh from Thomson Plaza?
Any Review or comment?
Im in my 13weeks, have done my Oscar test. Will you ladies go for further test(harmony) after the Oscar test?
it is our pelvic that expand not really butt leh the amount of meat still same
Harmony also test for trisomy 13 and 18, not just 21 (DS). It also include testing for turner's disease.harmony is only on DS and gender ...and optional...if your oscar is ok .. why u want to do harmony ... of course if finance is not a issue you can by all means do it ... just a tube of blood no risk
it is up to you ... i dun like oily body ... so i only apply tummy area cos that is the area that stretch the mostSo no need to apply on butt? Just apply on tummy
that 's funny how coem when clinic called me to tell me the result they only specified DS and not others 3 testing ...Harmony also test for trisomy 13 and 18, not just 21 (DS). It also include testing for turner's disease.
If u have aldy done oscar and risk for all 3 trisomy tests are not high, no need to repeat harmony test though it has a much higher accuracy compared to oscar. (99% vs 92%).
I use vlarins toning oil. Very nice and skin absorb quickly n no oily feel after that. But it cost a lot more compared to bio oil.it is up to you ... i dun like oily body ... so i only apply tummy area cos that is the area that stretch the most
btw you ladies book your confinement lady already ? i haben leh... still looking around
Palmers Cocoa Butter scent is quite strong leh.... I don't recall seeing unscented ones.
i am using Floxia Stretch mark restructuring cream...bought from gynae ... dunno is cheap or exp or available from outside.. ok ... nice scents ... the oiliness get absorb into body fast ...but still i dun like to apply cream... the only time i apply cream is when i get sunburn and during pregnancyI use vlarins toning oil. Very nice and skin absorb quickly n no oily feel after that. But it cost a lot more compared to bio oil.
i abit scare of agency leh...used another one GPLS for 1st one... the confinement lady not that good lehI haven't. My friend said can go to this agency PEM. They provide systematic confinement food planning for each week. Like first week is clear blood, 2nd week tonic. She likes it
See link for more info on harmony test.that 's funny how coem when clinic called me to tell me the result they only specified DS and not others 3 testing ...
