Hi MistyCloud, hope the friend request I just accepted is yours - can't tell. Do add me to the group if it is and if not, try again? The email I gave is the one I registered on FB with......

Hi all, I'm back after being MIA for a long time. Can add me to the FB group? My email is [email protected].

I'm only at my 9th week and my clothes are definitely tight. I'm just wondering what is the downside of the OSCAR test? It seems like a relatively safe test, the only downside I can see is that if it puts you at high risk then you have to agonize over whether to go for diagnostic tests which...

Wow, never heard of Melissa shoes. Are they really comfy? When I was last pregnant the trend was to wear fit flops.

Fishy23, try not to worry too much. Your OB is right, because our ovulation may not be at exactly the 14th day of the cycle, which is the assumption when we calculate how many weeks pregnant based on last menstrual period. ie when we say 6 weeks pregnant its actually 4 weeks from ovulation...

Hi everyone! I've been posting in the Jan 2015 mummies board because my EDD based on LMP is 1 Jan but considering I have med conditions that make it dangerous to continue the pregnancy post EDD, chances are I will end up with a Dec baby, so thought I'll check in here :) I already have a 3 year...

I had brown discharge late last week too and immediately called my Dr's clinic to ask to be squeezed in the day itself. Nothing is more reassuring that seeing the baby's heartbeat again and being told all signs appear normal. My cell group members all prayed for me as well! Btw, read some...

Wow, I didn't come in for 2 days and having difficulty catching up already. I went in to see my gynae a bit early yesterday (supposed to be appt today but I had tummyache from gastric flu and got worried). It was 6 weeks exactly but adjusted for actual ovulation should have been about 5w5d and...

Thank you Ruth! Welcome deediana! chapa, I am having horrible morning sickness. Of course, I have trouble telling them apart from the gastric flu but I'm sure at least part of it is attributed to pregnancy. Also the extreme fatigue and heartburn. I don't remember it being so bad with #1, at...

Hi all, its been more than a week since I got my positive test and only dared to come here now. Glad to see so many members already in the group. The internet calculator says my EDD is 1 Jan so I guess I can well end up having a December baby, but 2015 baby will be good - Jubilee baby with...

Glad I insisted on kicking my girl out of my bedroom when she was 6 months old (my mum said I was cruel). But she still insists on me carrying her all the time, I'm so tired! Do you guys reckon the kids know another child is coming along and is vying for attention?

Mrs Lee, sorry I missed your earlier question! If your hub is not a carrier then no need for any additional tests. Its only if both are carriers that the baby has a chance of being a thal major (not just carrier). On all the food concerns, everything in moderation is fine. I avoided hashima...

Penny, yar, one each will be nice but actually girls are nicer to parents so 2 girls will be good too. So interesting all these discussions about the different tests. Because of my thalassaemia I always go straight to the obgyn and demand CVS, after that all they need is to supplement with a...

Hi everyone, I made just one post eons ago then went silent. The link to the google doc was so long ago that I can't seem to locate it anymore so here are my details: My EDD: 23 March 2013 Gynac: Dr Chia Yee Tien Hospital: Mt Elizabeth Hometown: City Currently: 9 weeks Oh, and I...

Hi ladies, I think I will be joining you here. I'm roughly 5 weeks in (can't remember my LPM date!), will update the spreadsheet after I see my obgyn and the scan confirms the EDD. Its my no 2 so I'm more relaxed unlike no one where I wanted to see the obgyn immediately once I got a positive...
