(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Millie,
u shld try City plaza. I just came back from there after my gynae check up. The top are nice.. let me take pix of the tops i got there.
I dun think is ex lah.. i only pay $26 for that..

Mel,
i did the normal urine test and also detected sugar in my urine. The nurse very gd still bother to take my blood for a simple test but she said if i eat something in the morning than most likely is due to that. She will informed my gynae next rd, cos gynae left after that.

U got to watch ur diet, check with gynae on wat ur cannot eat.
 


hi all
juz wondering if u gals feel a hard bulge juz above your pelvic bone? asked my doc during a recent check up and he said that that's the uterus showing! which means the "belly" that i have right now is actually fats?? so scary!!

but doc says that weight gain still reasonable so no concern but adviced me not to drink milk. just take multi-vits enough to supplement calcium intake.

also tried to see bb gender since his/her legs open big big but very strange cos one minute looks like got something between the legs and doc say maybe boy then when scan again, the "thing" dissappeared, and doc maybe girl. in the end doc said dun go shopping yet till next visit in 4 weeks...seems like an eternity to wait..
 
Hi!

Would like to know if taking urine sample test is common, complusory for every gynae visits?
Have visited my gynae 3x, bt he did not ask me to.

So wondering isit complusory for other gynaes?
Thanks!

Jazz,

Not sure about others, but I know my wife will go for urine sample test every time he visit the gyane.

OSCAR is a more detail scan compare to NT scan, which check for DS. You might want to look at previous post for more info.

Hi all MTB,

How is everyone feeling now? Hope that everything is fine for all of you. Don't really have mood to work nowadays since CNY is coming soon.
 
Hi Jazzyjas

OSCAR Scan is detailed scan to check for down sydrome & the thickness for bb's neck. Me now waiting for results loh... better not to receive any phone calls la.. at least that shows everything is fine..

Hi JazzyJas,
I have been to my gynae for about 5 times now and I'm asked to do urine strip test on every visit. I understand it's to ensure that our blood glucose is normal.
 
hi zita27,

Jazz,
Mine NT scan is almost immediate. After the NT scan, I get the results and see my gynae so that he can explain clearer to me.
 
Jazz,

The tickness of the neck can be know immediately, for my case they also take blood sample, then do a statistic calculation based on the NT scan, blood test result and mother's age to work out the risk. This will take a few days.
 
Jazzyjas

Ya loh, the result not immediate one ley... Also kind of anxious about it.. The doc only told me everything seems fine but have to wait &amp; see the blood test ley..

Dear

When are you going to sign up huh.. Keep me inform ok? I also wanna go.. better do it before hb go overseas..

Liverpool

Thanks for the info.

happy.gif
 
Liverpool
many thanks for the info. for the NT scan, is it done at the gynae's clinic, on the same ultrasound machine that they use for the normal scan?
 
Hi,

i did my NT scan during 11 wks. Its done at my gynac's clinic using ultrasound scan. and results is almost immediate.
 
Hi all interested in prenatal courses,
I heard from a friend who gave birth at TMC earlier this year that it's best to go for the prenatal classes as late as you can (of course, can book earlier lah, but choose courses at later dates). So that it's nearer to the giving birth date and you'll have higher chances of remembering the lesson details then. I'll be checking out the prenatal classes on my next gynae appointment which is on 16/1 (Mon) =)

During this appointment, I'll be doing OSCARS too. Can't wait to see BB soon! Sometimes I just wish that I can have a transparent window on the tummy, then can see BB's development everyday.

Hi Japepearl,
Thanks for adding me into the list =)

Hi all,
I signed up for the 1st Mum's Congress leh... anyone else going?
 
hi ashleywcy
i would love to but unfortunately, i'm too late? i read that it was too late for registration? i've yet to make that call to see if still can do a walk-in.
 
hi gebbera
there are some maternity shops in paragon, spring maternity in suntec mall, and i think specialist shopping centre? u can rent or buy fr that shop.
 
Hi Missmoon,

Thanks for replying...
happy.gif
I'm vexed over where to get maternity wear... Have been to Mothercare but the clothings seems too big for me... I'm quite small size and thus am having difficulties getting smaller size maternity wear....

I shall make a visit to the places that you have recommended above.
happy.gif
 
hi gebbera
u're most welcome. i know of a friend who managed to buy a pair of jeans fr paragon's 9mois to fit her small frame, and the cutting is really nice. can try that shop
