(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Hi Tracy,

I didnt know about Triple test at that point of time. I'm in my mid twenties... The nurse arrange the OSCARS scan for me in TMC.. They did not explain triple test to me either...

Yes, the OSCARS scan was very expensive, costed me $289. It includes the blood test too...
 


missmoon, well, coz gynae said cant really tell & hb asked him if like tis "sd be a gal" correct? He said most prob bt shall wait till the next apptm 2 cfm.
Umm, the nurse said take ard 3~4 days for the test result 2 be back. Usually wun call if ok. Bt hb requested her 2 call him when know the results.

japepearl, thanks!

Hi Mel,
My gynae tol me the same thg tat its not complusory to take the triple test coz I am under 30. Plus, NT scan shown low risk. Since taking the blood test on the same day, so took the triple test too.
 
Hi Sandy
Ya, my tummy showing already, I have to wear maternity pants liow, Cannot button up when I wear those normal pants. My blouses also cannot wear liow. I have to wear those stretchable or maternity blouses. When I walk on the streets, people who walk past me will stare at my tummy.So embarrassing.

YB,
I read from somewhere that BB developement in week 17~20 will be very fast.. looks like quite true for your case hor.. think we should keep each other update of our tummy grow liao.. u got measure the circumference of your tummy? keke
 
Hi YB,

Me too!! My tummy size was a big different a week before and after!!! When I was 14 weeks, none of my frens could tell. But a week later, I could see a "kangaroo pouch"!!!

I'm now at week 17 and my colleagues said I'm big!!! And I cant wear any of my pants now. Tops still ok :)
 
I can't wear jean since wk 9 onward liao... only pant still can tahan till ard wk 13 like tat but provided i shifted the waist button lor... since wk 13 i'm wearing maternity pant and elastic skirt already...
 
wow.. I have been wearing elastic skirt from the start. I have bloating problem, so it got even worst when i am preggy. The tummy will feel tight & uneasy especially after food.
 
I think from next week onwards I had to wear my maternity clothes for these few months, normal clothes could no longer fit. Let's see if pple will give seats to us when we take public transport. ;P

My baby starts to kick me about 15 weeks. How about all of you?
 
Yar yar... most of my tops can't fit too, unless is very loose one... still hv not decide when to wear maternity... don't really like to wear them now leh...

Laura,
I also can feel bb kick ard 14-15wks times, now i'm 16+wks, last nite has a horrible dream that my bb hand is pushing my tummy until my tummy like a elastic pop up high and i've to hold on it to prevent it to pop up further, so terrified ...
 
shining,
Your dream so interesting.. can u see whter its bb boy or gal doing tt in your dream?

Me now already on maternity wear and some loose big size T-shirts liao.. also wearing the nursing bras sometimes cos old bras most cannot fit liao.. still wearing old panties but getting real tight these few weeks.. since sat going back for checkup will take time to shop and get myself some maternity underwear and more nursing bras..
 
Hi Laura, shining,
I have not yet feel the baby kicks. How is the feeling like? Do you see your tummy moving when they kick?
 
hey regarding dreams, i believe its true. my mum dreamt abt me hving bb girl during my 1st tri

Jazzyjas,

Thanks for your info..i dun think i will be taking the triple test..

By the way, anyone has unwanted SPRING MATERNITY receipt? I am still short of SGD 50 to 60 for priviledge card...


For those interested in parentcraft class MT A,
i have called up and checked.there are still about 10 vacancies...
 
Hi Jolene,
Gynea already told me the gender on my last visit on mon, he said 99.999% is girl...
Hi Jasline,
you can feel when it shifted position and the tummy will be out of shape, so funny.. but I love the feeling...
 
Gals,
Now that most of u r in the 2nd tri, do u still feel tired & sleepy in the afternoons? I am qte sleepy now.. mite juz sleep on my office table anytime..
 
Hi sandylove,
Yeah..seems like my baby doing OT over the night. Next morning when I woke up, my tummy bigger & harder. Pants that I can wear the day before can now no longer fit. I'm now coming to 17weeks.
 
Hi there,
Anyone there got any news about the maternity hospital stay claim from medisave being increase by $100 for those give birth after April 2006 ???
 
Hi Joline,
Ya, I think it's very true. I didn't keep track of my waist line..cos now no more waist already lah..so sad, clothes that I bought during 1st trimester can now no longer fit.
 
Hi Shining,
Where did u get the news? Is it accurate?? It'll be great if we can claim more from medisave..no need to fock out too much hard cash.
 
Hi YB,
I'm trying to verify this news too.. It's from my relative who will be due in feb, so she said abit 'luki' for her cannot enjoy the benefit... But I couldn't find this piece of news leh...
 
shining, is this the increase by $100 in Medisave deduction for A wards? It's not specific to delivery charges but A / B1 wards in general. This was in the papers a few weeks ago.

kite: my next appt is 2 March for the 20th week scan.
 
Hi YB,
I didn't ask her at the pt of time where is the source of news, i tot i must hv missed the news as i seldom read paper. she is not working in stat borad ...
 
Hi Shining,
I didn't catch the news too. Does any MTBs have the news?? Appreciate if can share with everyone here. It's definitely great news if we can deduct more from CPF for class A/B ward.
 
I heard from the TV a few days ago, that if there are any birth benefits, it will be announced next week, don't know true or not. I am waiting for the news also.Then can live in class A ward. Any MTBs have any updated news?
 
Jasline,
I can't describe clearly what you feel when your baby is kicking/moving. You will sure feel it when something in your tummy just feel different, then you realised you baby just moved! Only when your baby gets bigger, when he/she kicks you, you can literally your tummy transform to a funny shape, that could be his/her arm/leg. So amazing!
 
Hi japepearl

Today went with my wifey for check up, doctor say the Oscar test show that my wifey okie... what a relieve..... he also told us from his scan that 60-70% will be a boy boy lar.... but I cannot see anything leh from the screen... only his trained eyes can see.... to me all dark dark one... heee
 
shining, why wouldn't it apply to delivery hospital stay? For those with TMC and has signed up FBI/SBI, there's $100 off total hospital bill for 1-bedded.
 
Lok:
hv u decided how many bed u gg for? me might be gg for the 1 bedded. Next appt, i hv to let yvonne chan's assistant know as they will book for me.
 
Morning ppl

How is everyone feeling today?
For me, I'm so sleepy... cant really sleep throughout the night though... tends to wake up..
sad.gif
 
jazzyjas, dun feel so tired in the afternoons anymore, although i must say i would get more tired easily lah. but still having a bit of sleepless nights.
 
Morning mummies,

I had been awake since 4am today. Partly due to a sharp pain at my abdomen, partly due to my boy awake for his milk intake..... and not going back to sleep till it's time to wake up for work.

Re: Sharp pain at lower abdomen, anybody had experienced it? It's quite persistant and till now, I am experiencing it. I wonder what is wrong. Next visit to Gynae is only this Sat.

MTDT,

I have the same issue as you. Break-outs!!! It's real terrible. I had never looked so ugly before in my life. My hubby isn't looking at me straight in my face also. It's very upsetting.

Hong,

I managed to draw myself out of the GAP bulk purchase and saving on the shipping charges. Cos, my friend from another thread will be going to USA and she is getting the clothes back for me on my behalf. All I have to do is to order and have the item delivered to her at her hotel, attn to her. So touched for her offer.....
 
Jurong Gal,

Don't scratch your breast nor tummy. Right now, those areas are very prone to scratches and in the end, scars..... What I did last time is to rub my tummy, and breast area, I took a wet cloth and apply on it... relieves a little but at least, not so uncomfortable anymore....
 
Angeline,
that is a gd saving way. My hubby's got a frd who always travel to US but very pai seh to get him to help cos a guy later find me troublesome. hahaha..

RT,
is Dr Ang confirmed then more likely is. I already know the sex of my baby and we can see the gential too.
 
Angeline,

My tummy is not that bad, just some occasional itching. But breasts really very very itchy, buay tahan. u mean there will be permanent scars ? so scary...
 
morning fruitee, am fine. Juz tat woke up at nite 2 or 3x still. Gynae said mite be due 2 me nervous or worried. I dunno leh..

missmoon, ya loh, thot 2nd tri supposed 2 feel more energetic. Today 1st time wear a maternity pants 2 work, felt weird.

juronggal, me oso, on n off. For tummy, i am using johnson's & johnson's 24-hr mosituriser. As for breast, i apply powder.

angeline, i have pains in the abs. Its more of a "pinching, throbbing pain" tat come n go. Gynae said its the expansion of the uterus.. then pelvic area, said cd be i strained in the day.
 
jazzyjas, should get better in time lah, so try not to worry too much. maybe it'll be middle of 2nd tri that we really glow and be filled wif energy. kekeke
 
regarding triple test, someone mentioned that it's only 30% accurate? the detailed scan will be 90% accurate? i checked wif gynae during checkup yesterday, he said so far, it's been very positive leh, that it's almost spot on. my detailed scan is scheduled for next visit which will be the 20th week. can only tell gender then, cannot wait

morning everyone...

for me, i also hv itchy boos...
tummy not really.
happy.gif


constant pain - think better check if it is UTI.
for pain tat comes and go - it is prob expansion of the uterus. but for constant uncomfy feeling, might be UTI.

breakout - argh!!! dun remind me!!
sad.gif


hahha..
