    how do you do this? tired mummy here

    Hi, my agency told me helpers can come in as fast as 2 to 3 weeks now. Maybe you can explore this option. I have a young toddler and my maid has been a great help. As a working mummy, having help makes a difference.

    Oscar vs Panorama

    Hi, My gynae explained that NIPT is a screening test while Amnio is a diagnostic test. NIPT has a high level of accuracy so only if the results come back high risk then mummy can decide whether to do amnio to confirm the diagnosis. If NIPT results are good then usually no need to take the risk...

    Total cost of pregnancy

    You can go subsidised first. Go polyclinic get referral letter. Just note that you can't choose doctor. It's much cheaper. I heard they dun do scans every visit though.

    Harmony NIPT outcome

    Did you try checking health hub for the results? I've done some tests at KKH before (but not NIPT) and so far all the results are uploaded on healthhub. Login with your singpass and try.

    40, pregnant and worried

    Don't worry about the age. Had my first kid at 40yo and have a few other friends who delivered at 40yo or older. You have had 2 healthy pregnancies, this one likely will go well too. Of cos with age, risk is higher so just do your NIPT and keep to regular gynae visits. Happy mummy, happy baby. :)

    Positive covid pcr and 3 months pregnant :(

    Yes, you're right. Gynae all follow govt guidelines and encourage booster. My gynae asked me to take but due to my recent recovery, I'm actually good for another 9months before I need to take booster.
