Are you getting MumCare? The premium for IVF pregnancy is super high!

Hi, any IVF mum who has purchased maternity insurance? Apart from the compulsory neonatal insurance?

They will do a scan to check for heartbeat first and then check the cervix to see if they can find the cause of bleeding, then determine if you need a jab. Sounds like you are still early on and I'm not sure if you will need a vaginal scan. You can insist for a jab at O&G, but if you already had...

Yep, Dr Tan HH said it's good to have morning sickness. He was happy to what I had bloating too. So yeah, that's a huge consolation!

The placenta takes over production of progesterone some time in week 12. So for IVF pregnancy, we should take the prescribed progesterone pills until then. If there is no need for the jab, then I suppose the pills would suffice. Good luck and take care.

Hi, Sorry, I mean oatmeal and milo, not cereal and milo. Stay strong!

I got lucky in the sense that the bleeding was for a short while and turned brown quickly. I did have a couple of occasions in the first trimester where I had brown spotting. It's just very worrying with any such discharge. Even now, I will rush to toilet to check if there is any 'feel' down...

It must have been really scary and worrying! Are you inserting any pessaries? For some reason, I bled too after inserting pessary (for fungal infection); when I mentioned that to Dr Tan HH, he said he doesn't like to give his patients pessaries because of the heightened sensitivity of the...

The crinone discharge can be a white clot. As it is an accumulation of the excess. Did you have a positive HCG test? If you didn't have a positive HCG test, it is unlikely the embryo. The expulsion of the embryo comes with strong contractions too. The embryo, if expelled from body at early...

Try red dragonfruit. Earlier when I was feeling a bit constipated, my TCM told me to take red dragonfruit. The confinement agency I hired was what my sis in law used twice. There's hits and misses. So I suppose just need to manage expectations.

Yeah, quite lucky the food goes down even though I have no appetite. Oddly, I feel better after eating. My gynae says everything I eat should have less oil, less salt, less sugar and my husband takes him very seriously. So all these marinated and preserved is out for me. Luckily I love soup and...

I was quoted around $3.75K and I had booked when I was in early 1st trimester! high prices cos I'm definitely hitting the CNY dates. If your dates do not overlap with CNY, I think the rate from agency is around 3k?

I think it is specifically chinese cabbage that is cooling. My TCM said not to take kimchi cos it's cooling and spicy. I guess if you are fine after taking it, it's okay!

I'm still vomiting too. reaching week 17. But the intensity of throwing up is less intense. I've gained like 2.5kg already, even with a bad appetite :eek:

That's good for you! My appetite seems to have disappeared but I am still able to take in food. Just don't enjoy it. As such, I am looking to eat sour food (which means spicy food I suppose) but my husband doesn't want me to take spicy food. Is kimchi fine? I heard cabbages are very cooling, so...

Try the red dragonfruit... my TCM recommended and it works for me..

Initially my gynae said it might be my clothes as the rash is localised. I forgot to tell him it's spreading. But I get the rash regardless of the type of clothes I'm wearing....so think it is likely hormonal... Hope you are moisturizing the area...

How's your energy level? Back to normal?

Just wondering, for those who had bad appetite in first trimester, has your appetite returned? My appetite in 2nd trimester is worse than 1st trimester. Though I have been gaining weight as I force myself to eat my meals per normal... I thought the symptoms will ease up in 2nd trimester but I'm...

Mine is around abdomen initially but starting spreading to the breasts. Do you use the tonic oil and control cream on other body parts? If yes and there's no rashes on other body parts, then it's unlikely they are causing the rash? I use the oil on other body parts too and only selected areas of...
