I am at 19 weeks now but still can't feel baby movement. Anyone feel their baby movement already? Btw did anyone purchase doppler to use at home?

Are you referring to the anomaly scan at 20 weeks?
This is a more detailed scanning where the sonographer will check for the gender, spinal cord, growth of bb such as length & size of bone, head circumference, location of placenta, as well as bb organs development e.g. hole in heart, excess fluid in brain, kidneys & stuff., etc.
You can skip the OSCAR test , and I think detailed scan at 20wk is a must.

I see! I did iGene test on my 3 months. I thought that will determine the Down syndrome all that. Still got the anomaly test.

Hello, can share about your igene test? My friend recommended it but seems like igene is not so commonly available yet.

You can read from the link above.
I did mine at Thomson clinic when I was around 3 months. The gynae will draw 2tubes of blood from you. And aside from the Down syndrome test, you will get to know the baby's gender too!
iGene test is 99% accurate compare to Oscar test which is only 90%. The price is a huge difference thou. I did the iGene test around $2K. Oscar test is about $300-$400.

I did bought a doppler to use at home. Pretty good and able to detect baby heartbeat quite fast. And also can hear my placenta too. I'm now 22 weeks and I only start to feel daily movement of my baby from week 20.

Hi mummies,
I did the CSV test: http://americanpregnancy.org/prenatal-testing/chorionic-villus-sampling/ due to my age and this can be done much earlier....from 11.5 weeks and only 5 gynaes in Singapore do that. The cost is approximately S$2200+. My gynae told me is 100% accurate and you will know the baby gender when the result is out. It's not painful except for the anesthetic jab and they draw from the placenta and less risky compare to drawing from water bag.

Hi mummies, congrats to all. Though my EDD will be on 1st Jan but my 2 previous pregnancies was delivered at 36 and 34 weeks and hence most likely I will have a Dec baby.
Hope to join this group and learn from all mummies : )

i had diarrhea during 1st trimester n i think it's cos im lactose intolerant & pregnancy just make it worst. once i avoided lactose im fine. if it's just once or twice,it should be fine. but if it's continuous alot times, it'll be good to see a gp. you can hydrate yourself with pocari sweat
Glad u r okay now.i had diarrhea during 1st trimester n i think it's cos im lactose intolerant & pregnancy just make it worst. once i avoided lactose im fine. if it's just once or twice,it should be fine. but if it's continuous alot times, it'll be good to see a gp. you can hydrate yourself with pocari sweat

Hi mummies to be
How much weight have you gained so far? I've almost gained 7kg. Am feeling v depressed looking at my weight gain on my upper arms and thighs. Don't know how to lose them ever.. I know this sounds bimbotic, but really sad. I'm only at 21 weeks!!!!
Are any of you going for a preggy photoshoot? Any recommendations and pricing range?

Member

Btw so far how have u been coping with ur work?
I believed all of us has informed bosses on our pregnancy.
For my case, my boss is abit harsh on her tone but today is totally over the limit.
She felt pek cek and was venting on me.
And after our conversation ended, she let go "tsk".
Haiz

I get affected and teared.
Feel like giving up but ML will be gone.
Ahead of the days wun be smooth for me cos she expect me to complete all the tasks b4 i go on ML. No covering and i am only one doing the tasks.

im very blessed to have an understanding boss. i can nap in office when im free & just nice now is non peak period for my work so i can rest whenever i want to. he understands too if i take mc often
Due in December too? Hang in there! Not worth it to go without salary during your maternity period. Unless your job is really too tough and you feel it's better for your pregnancy if you take a break. Or if you're rich enough... then f*ck it, throw letter. Hahaha!
I'm lucky to have a very understanding team and boss but my work is quite stressful so sometimes I also dread going to work in the morning. And I'm starting to feel sleepy all the time. Really hard to concentrate!
I feel you, me too struggling with work.
My previous manager was very supportive during my 1st pregnancy.
I am still in same company but this time my colleagues & new manager are not very supportive and even try to pick on me taking mc when gg for gynae check-up, as I am not sick so I should apply annual leave instead of mc. Sigh....I have to challenge them to check with HR and unless HR reject my gynae mc else...
Only 4 more mths to go, So Hang-in there @rainbowbb!
Thanks all mummie for encouragment words!
Yea! due in Dec!
Yes. I know i hv to hang it there.
Have been counting down daily to the Day! Becos i tot my boss is understanding cuz i went thru IVF but things changed but i really have to heck alot of things to enjoy this pregnancy. Hopefully i wun be so affected again.
O ya, it seems early but i am experiencing swollen feet 2weeks back.
Received a sample for snoothing tired legs from Clarins while i purchased the stretch mark from them. Anyone has experienced that?

Maybe try wearing compression socks. It might help a little. At night, try to elevate your legs as well! It can help.
I'm not too sure about Clarins. Haven't buy anything for stretch marks though.
I would like to recommend Auntie Susie for her confinement nanny service. She is experienced, responsible, hygienic, and caring nanny.
She cooks well and the food is really delicious. The vege that she cooks has nice green color and my confinement food has wide variety. She is responsible and will wake up to feed the baby. She works well with my family members too. My girl was having flu, she helped me to look after my girl and the baby. I was so fortunate to have her. She is highly recommended. You may contact me for more information or you can contact her at +6012 6489 568

Hi mummies, i am currently 22nd weeks. This two days i keep having my tummy contracts and tighten feeling. Went to the gynae just now, the check everything is fine. But he prescribed some med for me to take and wrote a letter to ask me and my hus to go hospital to do some test and double check. thou he scan and said baby is very active and healthy. But still have to go hospital to double check now . sigh
thou he scan and said baby is very active and healthy. But still have to go hospital to double check now . sighJust went to kkh for some scans and check. The doc says everything's normal. Baby is good! Thank god. .
For mummies who are expecting a 2nd kid, have you upgraded your #1 to a toddler/proper bed and is he or she already sleeping on his or her own?
Any tips to share? My #1 still wants to co-sleep with us and I really hope he will sleep in his own room (with the survellience of a baby monitor) by the time the baby is here. He's about 3 years old... or is he still too young to sleep on his own?

My no. 1 is still sleeping in her cot in same bedroom as us. Planning to transit her to proper bed in her bedroom this weekend. Hope I succeed...*fingers cross*
How old is your no. 1?
Good luck! Let me know how it goes. My #1 is 3 years old. He hated his cot and has been co-sleeping with us on our bed since he was 20 months. Before that, he slept fine in his cot (which was in our bedroom) but once he turned 20 months, he insisted on sleeping on our bed with us. We just bought him a single mattress sized car bed and he was quite excited about it. But he will only nap there in the day time if we lay next to him... at night he insists on sleeping with us on our bed. I'm worried that he won't sleep on his own by Dec... because we will be putting the cot in our room... can't be 4 of us squeeze in the master bedroom right? Hahaha. Plus he is quite big for his age and my tummy is getting bigger... I'm having lesser and lesser space to sleep on my bed.
