Hi sepbb,

Hi clairechua,Even with vaginal scan also gotta find right... Haha. Not so fast!!
Hi sepbb,That's nice! Ya maybe still early LO can't see anything. I actually thinking this Friday go see. But I think can't see much so next Friday at 5th week hopefully can see haha
Hey ladies, those tests that u all mentioned. Isn't it arranged by the gynae? I din know we have to make seperate arrangement...
Ya u gals got what's app group? Hehe fb later then I join can? Btw how come u gals Wana avoid doing Oscar? I'm curious.. Recently for me I'm having quite breathless n hard to sleep at night. Even if I dose of 1hr at night I wake up can't sleep Liao
The gynae will advice u. Its an optional test tho for mummies to know whether baby has down syndrome.
I heard the test is inaccurate. Thats y I think I wouldn't choose to do it. Due to my research Dr Ananda is doing a more detailed scan @11, 14 & 21 weeks and heard he can tell whether baby have DS via baby's face features, etc.
So after discuss with hubby decided to opt for Dr Ananda.
Hello, i am going to do the 14 week genetic scan with Dr Ananda in mid Feb, can i ask have you already done any of these 3 scan that you mention? If yes, can you please kindly share with me your experience.
If i find the 14 week genetic scan good, then i will most likely let Dr Ananda do the 21 week detail scan too. (That will be another $600. Ouch Ouch). Otherwise i will do the 21 week detail scan with KKH, which i believe should be cheaper, even if i am a private patient.
Cheers
Sepbb, have you made appointment with the gynae already? I have not booked mine yet but I see you all so fast action, I also gan cheong lol..
Can anyone add me to the FB group? My email is [email protected] thanks!
Sepbb, I called my gynae clinic to make appointment already. Because I have read some comments here about going in earlier due to previous MC, so I also hurriedly called to ask lol (I had MC last year Sept).. They schedule me to go on 28 Jan. I would be 6 wks then. Praying for the best!
Jas_wang, jia you! My 2nd pregnancy also ended with MC.. Praying for the best and a sticky baby this round

Hi Charlene Ann,I was at 6 weeks when I went for my scan and had to do a vaginal ultrasound too! Managed to hear heartbeat and baby was at 3.9mm. All the best bbun, hope your Lil beanie will make his/her grand appearance for mummy and daddy then!

Hello, yup, i will be seeing Dr Ananda for the genetic scan in mid Feb. Next week will be going to KKH to do panorama test first. My plan is to have the panorama result with me when i go see Dr Ananda.
If you have time, can you please kindly share more about your genetic scan experience, how long? Is his machine really so high tech, what did you get to see. You mention that after the scan, Dr Anandas will actually tell the patient whether the chance of DS is low or high?
Cheers
Yup, I will skip OSCAR cos I dun wanna waste money on inaccurate test. So I will book appt with Dr Ananda for genetic scan.
Most likely early March
Hello,
I am not sure are you aware of this or not, OSCAR test contain both a blood test + a ultrasound test. Where else the genetic scan does is purely a ultrasound test.
cheers
Yes I'm aware of that. But there are so many false positive happening. So I would rather not do the OSCAR.
I will see how my genetic scan goes. I will prefer to take HARMONY test if baby is found at risk as it is more accurate than OSCAR
That great that you are aware and have decided on a path forward.
In my view, the problem with Oscar is that it take into account the age of the mummy when it compute the risk %. a well maintain 40 year old Singapore mummy health condition may differ very significantly from a 40 year old mummy living in the rural part of Somalia. How nice if some smarty doctor can come out with a improved version of Oscar that do not take into account mummy age. If die die must take into account mummy age, it should only use mummy that live in Singapore only. This might leads to improve accuracy percentage.
Harmony easily cost 2-3 time more then Oscar, so it jolly well be more accurate ya. hee hee.
Jia you.
Hi aaa111, may i know how much is the genetic testing with Dr Ananda? I just signed for the FTS at KKH (which is the OScar test) unwillingly.
When I point out that there has been feedback of false positive, the nurse keep saying that it is a preliminary test and widely popular so how can it be inaccurate. She furthermore pointed out that only those we got bad results will post their feedback. I still had my doubts as I know they plot the results in accordance to maternal age.
Anyway as I was a subsidize patient and it was $200 plus, I signed up. Now im planning contingency plan just in case the results is bad....haha
Thanks

I think nurse say only at week 14 onwards then can scan coz by then the organs have all developed. My edd i think is in Aug.
Hi! If you will be doing the panorama test it will be 99% accurate right then y u still wanna see Dr Ananada?
The scan I took for my #1 is abt 45mins to 1hr? I would say not his machine but his exp that is good. He will show and explain to you which part of baby he is scanning and let u hear the heartbeat, he will take measurements of the nasal, neck and spine of baby as well to rule out the possibility of DS for your age. End of the scan, you will receive a report which will indicate the % of risk for DS + disc of your baby image and heartbeat audio. Plus i get to know the gender at week 14 coz boy more obvious.
I feel assured after the scan to know the possibility is low so I decide to go back to him for my #2. He is also a very jovial doctor will joke with you during the scan to make u at ease =)
