Hi Japepearl,
Tks for the updated list again. Sorry for not informing you earlier that i'll be delivering at Glenagles.
As for the test for down syndrome, my gynae says I can consider doing it in my 12th week. Hsband and I are still considering.
Anyone has any idea on when we can start those pre-natal yoga classes? I think first trimester is still a no-no right?
By the way, in my last visit, i asked the gynae about skincare products. She just warned me against using those from beauty salons as some of them have their own concoctions and u never know what goes into it. Also products with Vit A should be avoided.
FYI gals!

For those going to antenatal class kindly avoid Mt E hor. It is lousy and expansive. Give TMC a try, pay extra also worth it. Mrs Wong is very gd and she is very detailed. I think 1st mum can attend the class at week 28. They dun recommend u to attend early scare that u forgot all of them.
may,
yoga class? Sorry cant help, never been to one.
Li may,
welcome and congrats of ur 3rd child. I also think i will deliver early this time, 2nd one shld be earlier. Urs 3rd.. dun have to mention.
japepearl,
thanks to do the update!
MTBs,
Dr Ang did mention abt OSCAR but i dun think i will do this test. I may just go for NT, detailed scan and blood test. Will even opt out triple test as well.
zita, Japepearl,
thanks.. yah so relieve to know we are clear! After i walk out of the clinic i feel so energetic leh.. hahhaa..

Hi Jaslin,
Premier package is a better choice, cause 1-stop clinic n Dr Tan will be doing the scan. Price diff not much...waiting time much shorter n service better.
I dont tink will sign up their package offer lah. Dont tink worth it leh!
But will convert to private suite(Premier) on my next visit.

Hi Decimalpoint,
I went for the thyroid test because I have hyperthyroidism and need to monitor cos it'll affect fetus.
Hi Jasline,
Pls hang on. Am sure it'll be over very soon!!
Hi Li May,
Welcome!!
Hi May,
I think anything use also have to use sparingly lor...I'm still using my steriod crean cos I have eczema. Gynae says it's okay cos how much can we apply anyway. He say won't affect fetus. Anyway, i'm still using my same skincare/body, makeup & nail polish. Only thing I dun do is to dye my hair.
Hi Zita27,
Congrats on the good news. Dun have to worry too much or you'll become too paranoid. I haven't thought of buying doppler. Tomorrow is my B'day, hopefully have energy to enjoy.

Mel,
Yes!! I wanted to look at the maternity bottoms that have elastic band cos I thought those can be worn even if no/very little stomach. I feel very embarrassed when the salesgirl come and ask if she can help cos I have no stomach yet. So my tries at maternity shopping is limited to that only. So far I wear old clothes to work, still can fit.

Hi all,
I'm also due in jul. Can i join in?
Also wanted to ans some queries-:
Tracy - if i'm not wrong the OSCAR test is available at all hospitals. It just tests for risk of down syndrome but is more accurate than the NT scanning which measures the thickness of the neck. (sorry Liverpool11, it's not the spine ;p) It involves a scan as well as a blood test. Also the result is known earlier than during the detailed scan. It's also expensive so i guess unless you are in the high risk category i.e. above 30 then you might want to go for it for peace of mind. else the NT scanning is usu quite accurate.
Mel/Decimal Point - if our normal bottoms cant be worn then can try the maternity pants. the elastic does help and i think it's better than 'squeezing' ourselves.
no need pai sei la. after all, being pregnant does give us license to put on weight (within reason of course)
okie, happy weekend to all...

Welcome Li Lian and p_p02. Do join us more.
Mel & Decimal,
I did ask anyone interested to buy from US website. No one reply me leh.
If still can fit into old clothes then no hurry to get maternity clothes. I find maternity clothes are so ex and not really nice.
There is one shop at Amara Hotel, just a small shop. I think the clothes are quite nice, give it a look. I think she having some sale now.
I spotted one dress from imaternity will be ordering via web when i passed the 1st trimester.

hong,
Not sure if the size fits lah, you know sometimes different brands have differnt measurements, that's why I dare not order online. But I agree the designs look very attractive! Also worried that this time won't work out, that's why I have not dare to buy anything too.
Girls regarding the tests, is it possible that they are called by different names by different gynaes? Cos the descriptions sounds similar.
Anyone has any idea if the tests will pick up physical deformities?

May - No worries, updated! That means J&J baby lotion is OK, lor. Hmm, I think its too early to take pre-natal yoga classes.
hong - Good to hear that your appt went well!
zita - That sounds good - private suite(Premier). Glad to hear that your appt went well too! A doppler? Scared that I get too into it and listen to the HB every minute.
Tracey - As mentioned by pp02, I also think that its avail. at every hospital but may be under different names only. Is it a must or not - I guess it depends on the couple and as per the advice of the OBGYN.
LiewLL & pp02 - Hi there and welcome!
YB - You have eczema? I have psoriasis and I have stopped using the cream. I am now using Johnson & Johnson baby lotion..pretty OK.

japepearl,
I still take tea sometime.
Most of the time i take cold drink when i am outside like in coffee shop.
If i am shopping then will drop by supermarket to get mineral water.
Decimal,
Wat size do u wear now? I am L to XL now but looking at the measure chart i shld be able to fit in M size (US). If cannot then auction away lor.
Their dress on offer is only US$16.99 if I wanted to get similar dress here will easily cost me S$80 - S$100.
The test may sound similar but the price varies quite alot. I think there is reason so.. U can ask ur gynae abt it when u visit him/her again.

Hi Mel,
I'm buying normal clothings but 1 size bigger..they look better & cheaper than maternity clothes too.
Hi Japepearl,
I've consulted my gynae & he said it's fine to use steroid cream if we use sparingly. I only have on & off eczema on my hands when they're too dry. So I dun use it too often. Most of the time, I'll keep them moisturise with hand creams to minimise usage of steroid creams. I'm allergic to J&J lotion.
Thanks for your b'day song!!
I don't drink tea, coffee, soft drinks & milo (cos of choco)

Hi Japepearl,
I have stopped coffee, tea and cold drinks altogether. Now experencing cold turkey..can be quite a pain esp in the afternoon when I'm trying to stay awake. Do you guys feel exceptionally tired and sleepy nowadays?
YB, u mean we cant take Milo? I take milo pretty often!! I wonder what can i drink now except plain water....I dun dare to take fruit juice also....think I'm super paranoid until my gynae keeps telling me that I dun have to see her so often!

Hi all, and welcome to the newer MTBs,
I'm really behind time, maybe becoz I'm a work-at-home mom and have taken the liberty to rest for this period. Still crazily throwing up with lotsa heartburn. Can't even go out to do Christmas shopping ........For maternity, I've bought a few from this shop called Perfect mum, i think it has a shop at raffles place. it is the normal range price but the cutting is quite small, not those large ones with a tie at the back (for blouse).
May, I feel as if I've taken sleeping pills and feel totally knock out at certain times.Milo is fine, the choco level is not so high to coz problems for us.
Jadepearl, my hospital will be Mt E.thanks so much!

Hi Mel,
I just treat it like updating our fashion every few mths lor...normally we'll also buy new clothes every other mth also right?? It's only when we reach later stage then no choice have to stick to maternity clothes...babydoll dress is a good choice, cos can last longer & doesn't restrict ur tummy..I also intend to get mostly babydoll dresses & a few gipsy skirts...
Hi May,
I was told not to take Milo cos of the choco..I'm now taking mostly plain water, milk & juices...How often do u c ur gynae?? So far, I've only seen my gynae twice.

YB - OIC, if your OBGYN gave the green light, then it should not be a prob.
May - Wow! You can tahan meh? I crave for tea sometimes till it drives me crazy. Yes, I do feel tired in the late afternoon. Talking about that, I doze off while watching TV at 6pm.

Hi Japepearl,
It's best to avoid coffee & tea because of the caffine. Milo is because of the choco. Choco is also a source of stimuli.
I do feel tired but I have trouble sleeping at night. Keep tossing & turning..n become very light sleeper..come morning, I'll be extra tired. It's an endless circle!!
For myself, I have good days & bad days. On good d days I'll feel as though my MS is gone. On bad days, u'll c me bending over the toilet bowl. Hopefully my MS will go away soon. So scared that my MS will last the whole 9 mths!!

Good morning to everyone,
Although my wife don't have the morning sickness, she seems to develop night sickness now. For the past few days, she seems to vomit all her dinner out. Kinda worried. Now praying hard that today onwards would be a exception.
As for those having MS, hang in there, 2nd trimester is just round the corner. Hopefully the MS would be gone by then.

YB - Roger on that! Its coz of the stimuli. Keeping my fingers crossed too coz I too do not want my MS to stay for 9 mths. How's your b'day? Any surprise party? Tell us all about it. Have an awesome b'day.
liverpool11 - Maybe your wife can eat smaller meals and try drinking ginger tea. Just boil the shaved ginger with water and sugar. My DH will do this tea for me when my MS gets to the vomit stage.
Tracy - Yup, everything should be in moderation. Wow! Your MIL took coffee every day when PG? Amazing! I do experience tummy aches and aches near the abdomen too. Talking about gas, ginger helps to dispel it. However, I have heard that it does not work for some PG ladies. Maybe you can try and see lor.

HI everybody,
I am a little lost.
Tested positive about 2 weeks ago. Doctor took blood & the test says that I am pregnant. But my cycle has always been irregular, but my doc say I should be about 6 weeks plus now. Should see the sac by now but he has not been able to see the sac. Anyone experience the same? Seems that it is not common & he does not rule out etopic. Sigh. I am really confused and sad. help. Am I being too gan cheong? But seems that everyone @ week 6 can hear heart beat already.

Angelsky,
What did the gynae advise?
Decimal, if u are S/Xs then pretty hard to buy from US but still can try for 1 or 2 pc.
Mel,
on... i wanted to get more pple as well.
try www.imaternity.com
japepearl,
coffee - i do heard abt the caffine but most gynae advised is the most 1 cup a day is ok.
Tea - i took tea if i really have craving but also 1 cup a day. Will green tea be better?
milo/coco drink - gynae never told me that.. so i still take it if i am hungry at nite.
TRacy,
I am quite big size so i dun think i can fit into Mphosis clothes.
may,
why not fruit? shld be safe beside the pineapple. Infact i still take pineapple if i eat rojak. The only food i cant bring myself to eat is bitter groud and "sheng yu".
Fruit juice - i still take them but self made by my mother. She normally add orange, apple and carrot for me.
BTW, i think i am quite lucky. My MS is quite gone now. hee hee.

Hi,
I did 2 scans. One when he says I should be 6 weeks and another about 6 week plus but both show nothing. So now got to go for another one next week. He says usually should be able to see already. Though he cant dismiss that my cycle is quite irregular. However, He also say that having cramping is no good, but I dont have cramping, but sudden spasm on either sides once in a while. Some brown staining once every few days. But he says these are no good signs, but he scan my tube & he says nothing there as well & its a good sign but he cant dismiss that it may still be etopic. Then he also say sometimes either sides pain also no good because the blood is flowing due to the etopic preg as result of internal bleeding. Then he added however that my hormones level is still low about 750 so it is a good sign that it is really early preggie state.
But when he pressed my stomach or when he did internal check at my v area, there was no pain or bleeding so he say should be okie. BUt then how come @ 6 weeks plus, still cannot even see a thing.
Depressed.

Hi...
Jadepearl -you asked about tests to check for deformities? if i'm not wrong, in 11th week is the NT scanning to check for risk of down symdrome then in 20th week is the detailed scan and this one can see if baby's normal. usually it's quite zun one...
decimalpoint - i usually steal a mouthful of coffee/soft drink from hubby and that's it. my gynae said can take either coffee, tea but 1 cup per day. i kiasu don't want baby be hyperactive or whatever so don't take at all. anyway i'm not an addict to begin with so not much prob there. in my previous preg, was veri careful milo oso don't take cos of the cocoa content but now just drink lor. as most MTB said, everything in moderation is the key. now i chocolate oso eat. esp dark choc
kin - i oso bot 2 pants and 1 top from perfect mum. agree the cutting is small but it fits well. only thing is price not very nice...
hong - if i'm not wrong, green tea got more caffeine than normal tea. i just drink lipton's herbal infusion - caffeine free ma so peace of mind
angelskye- don't worry too much. as you said you are not very regular right? i also started out this preg like that. I tested positive but according to my calculation i not supposed to get preg one...anyway tested twice so went see gynae. saw the sac but nothing inside. according to period cycle, i should be 7weeks already...anyway gynae said wait 2 wks then check again. this time, saw sac and foetus growing as well as heartbeat. ultrascan said bb is 7weeks so guess calculation was wrong and i was just 5wks when i went the 1st time. i was really dazed when i saw sac but no bb inside and was out of sorts for a few days...so don't worry. think positive and see how the next visit goes...our period cycle not 100% accurate all the time ma...

Hi,
Thanks for all your encouragement, I nearly broke down coz the first time I went to see him he say why cant see the sac, by right should see. Then he went on and on about etopic, plus actually the day I went to see him first time I was gg to Beijing that night so he was very concern but he did the blood test & everything was fine (ie. the hormone level correspond with early preggie state & nothing that indicates any abnormalities) so I went ahead. Had to tahan for 7 days to see him again yesterday, so went & this time still cant see & he said should be close to 7 weeks so why still dont have, then he brought up etopic again. Sign....this time I was really stunned. Its like one sad news after another.
So its gg to be another waiting game till Thursday. I am also hoping that I may be really early m aybe 5 weeks or coming to 6 instead of 7 weeks as he calculated. WIll let you gals know.
Thanks for the encouragement.

angelsky - Hi there and welcome! As you mentioned about your irregular period, this may be the reason why the calculation is not accurate. Hang in there! Since your OBGYN has mentioned that its is an early PG sign (750), I guess the only thing is to wait. Maybe by the next appt, you can see your little one. Think positive and pray also.
hong - Thanks for the info. Wah, you so lucky ~MS is almost gone.
pp02 - Thanks for the info. You mentioned that you were PG before, right? So, is this your No.2? I also eat chocolate now and then too.

Hi Tracy & Japepearl,
Thanks for the b'day wishes!! My hubby secretly booked a room in Shangri-La Sentosa & invited all my friends to celebrate my b'day. It was a wonderful surprise!!
However, received a bad news yesterday. My gynae's nurse called me yesterday to inform me that my thyroid antibodies has increased. Instructed me to take a higher dosage. She also said my gynae wanted me to consult an endocrinologist. I am so so worried!! I thought normally gynae is able to monitor patient's thyroid? How come he has to refer me to a specialist?? Unless my condition is so serious??!!
I'm so afraid that my baby will be affected!!sigh...

Hi Hong,
There are some fruits that u should refrain from eating. I.e. Pineapple, watermelon, banana & coconut. You should also stop eating rojak cos it contains prawn paste.
I'm more particular about food but will be very bo chap about wat I apply..hee..hee..

Hi Japepearl,
Actually it's my No3
so guess i more bo chup than most others...hee!
YB - about not eating fruits, i've heard watermelon is cos it's cooling, banana is only the del monte kind (big, long, green).pineapple is cos pple believe it would cause miscarriage. but coconut should refrain from eating till 32 weeks then eat young coconut. apparently it'll help us have smooth and short labour. also supposed to clean bb and bb won't come out from us covered in blood. well, i suppose it's what you believe in and better safe than sorry. that said, everything in moderation would be the best

hi angelsky,
I read your post and can sort of understand your worries. During my first visit cannot see anything except fibroids, so must do blood test to confirm pregnant, that time also cannot rule out ectopic. so like you i go home with my heart hanging halfway.
about week 5 then i see the sac, but then again that was only a sac. blighted ovum also cannot rule out. so again i go home hoping the same thing won't happen twice. ( i miscarried last yr, blighted ovum)
i finally saw someting and heard heartbeat at about week 7.
so like you say, you have irregular cycles, maybe the calculation of the weeks may not be acuurate, it may still be too early to see anything.
hope u feel better.

hi p_p02,
i mean physical deformities, like fingers, limbs that kind. have you any idea if the test will pick those up?

Hi Angelsky,
Just to pop by to say hi and also ease ur mind a bit
For ur 7 weeks, is it based on LMP?
if ur menses are irregular and ovulation is late, the number of weeks cannot be 7. U can only be in week 7 if ur cycle has always been regular and u ovulate and conceive exactly at 14 days after 1st day of menses. If u ovulate one week later and u conceive, u are only in week 6. if u ovulate and conceive even later, u may be in week 5 only.
So not to worry too much! Calculation based on LMP most of the time may be not accurate.

Hi Angelsky,
This present pregnancy that I have, gynae was surprised because my ovulation(never late, was late for 20 plus days!) HOw he knew becoz when i tested positive for pregancy, i was almost 3 wks late. When I went to see him for the first time, bb suppose to be 8wks old, according to our calculation. But, the scan reveals only a 5wk plus sac. So, try to be positive ok.... I saw bb's heartbeat not at 6wks but at 7 plus wks. If you really feel really worried, you can seek 2nd opinion. If not, just rest, keep your mind rested and wait. I know it is easier said then done, but we are all mothers here, so we all hope for the best for you too!
ppo2 - you r right. Perfect mum is little over budget.heard they are fr japan.
Hong - my gynae asked me not to take pineapple and jackfruit. also, the prawn paste in rojak may not be good for us. I avoided rojak for all 9 mths in the past even though crave for it. Replaced with durian, ha ha.
YB - maybe the doc needs the advise of another specialist to be on the safe side. don't worry too much, bad for baby. Rest well.

Hi everyone,
Really grateful and thankful for all the encouragement
Its really nice to have someone to share this with. I have not managed to tell anyone bside my hubby about it as I did not want my family nor my friends to be happy that we have expecting a baby and then be told that the baby is no more. It was really good that I was able to get it all off my chest.
He calcuated based on my LMP which was the 23 oct. I tested positive (very faint line + low HCG level of 750) on the 8 Dec. But from my previous cycle in aug was on the 16th, so actually the cycle was about 38 days. He say should be about 6 weeks plus on the 8 Dec. So now by right should be about 7 weeks. I am really hoping very hard that I am really very early so thats why cannot see lo. But got to wait till thursday again but its frustrating coz this will be my 4th scan. sigh.
So by right if can see the sac that means he will be able to see how many weeks right? Dont have to wait till got heart beat right?

Hi p_p02,
Yes, tat's right. ur analyse of the fruits are exactly wat I heard.
Hi Kin,
I'm very worried cos I know thyroid will affect the mental development of fetus during the 1st trimester. Uncontrolled hyperthyroid will cause deformnities in fetus. I'm so worried that my baby will be born with mental disabilities....

Hi Hong,
Ya, I do take lots of fruits..and for fruit juice, I try to take those without ice. ANyway, hubby and I always have the habit of eating fruits early in the monring so so far, I'm ok with my bowel movement.
YB,
I see my gynae every three weeks and so far I've seen her 4 times. I think I'm quite crazy.
My gyane said I'm one of those lucky ones who dun experience MS..until now I have not puked. Other than burping and tummy aches, I am doing fine. However, I just read yesterday that women who experienced MS more has a higher chance of carrying the baby to term! this is according to some studies. So its good to have MS afterall ....
Btw, anyone started taking bird's nest? Is first trimester the best time to take it? My sister says drinkig red date juice is good cos baby will have rosy cheeks. Hee...
