eeyore,
The dress is so so lovely! I envy you, i got flabby arms, so no courage to wear this dress. I'm having a wedding dinner this Sat, now raking my brains what to wear...
 
hi jurong gal
gynae started me on calcium, fish oil and iron pills since wk 12. i was prescribed ProLacta for Mothers (fish oil) n Negobion (iron). cannot remember the calcium one already.
 
laura, I'm not very thin either... js tat not very flabby sstill can wear...

surprised to see so many mummies here like pink...
 
kite, no worries, i understood your explanation.

Angeline/Hong, YLZ is near Geylang Lor 38 (near the turtle soup place and opposite Kong Hwa School). But I heard his charges are generally ex. Hubby and I usually go to Long Tian Xiang who does it at his condo in Bullion Park (Lentor area). Think he charges something like $68 or $88. He told us to give him a call when the bb is born and he will prepare the list based on the eight characters. Hubby can then get the list and we can register the name when discharged (no need for 2 trips).

MTBs, I also found out gender of bb during a normal scan. In my case, gynae could see the penis and umbilical chord side by side. From the side view, she could see the scrotum (asked my hubby to confirm). The scan she gave me is not very clear but it was quite obvious on screen, so can't upload.
 
hong:
wow like tat use computer generate names one ah, then might as well choose our own using chinese dictionary? hmmm .....

Joline:

eeyore:

happy.gif
me too! my gynac told me during 14 wks that my bb's gentials is pointing down so it wil be a girl n yes during detailed scan, its gal. then she also say if pointing up is a boy for general info.
hmm the pink dress is nice. dunno y ppl say mummies to be tend to like pink n sweet thing n dress herself, the bb wil be a girl...n yes i bot a pink dress n pink cardigarn leh n my bb is a girl. hehe

Mummies:

jurong gal:
hmm better ask ur gynac to prescribe any supplements for u. for me, my gynac give me iron, calcium n Neurogain (fish oil) to take daily
happy.gif


Lok:
lol the more i explain e more i blur. u know wat, my LMP is on 13 Sep, then ovulation shld be ard 28 Sep, then i think we did it on 8 Oct (conception) which is non fertile days, like wat i was wondering how did i get pregnant? lol unless i remember e conception date wrongly
happy.gif


LTX in ur opinion better?

i find Dr. yvonne chan quite professional. she did tell me that if the bb's gential growth is pointing up is boy. mine can see during early stage that my bb girl one is pointing down, so it accurate.

kao_cheers.gif


This 19week old baby I am carrying now is my second baby..

My hubby and I got married last year Jan and found that I am pregnant in Feb.. We were extremely happy.. I was hopeful and really wish to have a baby girl at that time.. my hubby was neutral..

Everything went fine until my detailed scan scheduled on 24th May.. The radiologist told me that my baby is a boy.. I was abit disappointed with that.. After that, the radiologist hand to us a report and jus told us that the doctor will explain the report to us.. Being a nurse, I opened the report and peek and noticed that the heart, brain and Gastrointestinal portion was left empty.. while the other areas like limbs, growth was indicated as normal..

I hand the report to my doctor and she immediately send me for a fetal anomaly scan by a consultant specialise in fetal abnormalities. As the doc did the scan, he revealed to us that my baby has a cyst in the brain, two major holes in the heart and the intestines are outside the body.. All these hit us hard. I broke down immediately. The disappointment of the gender is no longer on my mind..

The next moment for us is decision of what to do next. Doctor suggest us to go for an amniocentesis test to find out the actual cause of the defects, but I rejected it on the spot, thinking that I wan to keep the baby so no point doin it. The doc then explain to us it will be good for us to do it so that even if we wan to keep the baby, they will know how to manage the baby's problem when born.

my hubby and I only have one direction in mind.. that is to keep the baby as long as we can.. We know its goin to be difficult.. thinking of the finance, the care, the baby's pain aspects.. we still wan to keep the baby..the next day morning, I ask my hubby to accompany me for the amniocentesis test..

The wait for the result was agonizing..The doc told us there are only 3 possible results..1. Down syndrome where baby can survive.. 2. Edward Syndrome.. 3. Patau syndrome where in both cases babies never get to survive, he will die in the womb or shortly after birth..

Many of our family members, relatives and friends strongly urged us to abort our baby even though we made it clear we were keeping him. They felt that we were being brash without considering the consequences of keeping the baby, such as the huge financial, physical and mental burden. The pressure was intense. We guess it did not matter to them that every parent who goes through an abortion will be haunted by the guilt of killing their own child. We were extremely disappointed we didn't get the support we hoped for.

We named our boy Joshua,, which means God saves.. During this period, we prayed every single day that a miracle will happen.. or at least give us a down syndrome baby.. Dun let our baby die..

About two weeks later, the nurse from the fetal anomaly called me on my hp and told me the result is out early. Our baby had edward syndrome.. which means he will not survive at all.. he will leave us very soon.. but we dunno when..

After this, we only focus on talking to our baby while he is in my womb, my hubby will read bible story and sing to him every night. Joshua sometimes will still kick me strongly.. He last kick me on my birthday on 5th July when the doc did a doppler check, he kicked off the doppler probe and even the doc says WOW! what a strong kick!

After that, there is no more kick, we went to see doc a few times but doc say he still has a heartbeat..

On 3rd Aug, we went for a normal check up and doc says.. no more heartbeat and nature has taken its course.. our baby has left..

On 5th Aug, Joshua was borned with an induced labour..

Thats the end of my story.. This is a very painful yet beautiful experience for us..

My hubby and I went thru a chromosome test but doc say both of us are normal.. the first baby has problem should be jus mere unlucky..

To us, we learned alot from it.. Now that we r having our second child, gender to us is not an issue to us anymore.. whats improtant is our baby has a heartbeat or not.. and whether everything is fine or not..

I hope this story does not scare anyone.. I jus hope all of us will treasure what we have even more dearly into our heart :)
 
Hmm Kite>> my chinese age this year is 25. Month of conceive according to chinese calender shld be september.
Hee
Joan>> how is your baby Joshua now??
 
Morning to all,

Angeline
i have checked for you lunar age 25 concieved mth Oct , result is a BOY...its accurate for you too huh..

Joan
After reading i feel like tearing..i can imagine that type of fear of waiting to know the outcome of scan..Ya we should treasure the baby regardless of sex..its god's gift...all i pray for is baby to be healthy...

Btw, Spring maternity is located @ Suntec City, Causeway pt & i think Century Sq.

All MTBs,
IS anyone experiencing itchy stomach, yesterday i discovered some mini rashes on my stomach its so itchy...

Anyone experiencing nose bleed? Its quite common for pregnancy right?
For the past 2 weeks, my mucus consists of blood..maybe its too heaty eating the supplements & milk powder..


Does anyone know we can buy the Pro-Lacta fish oil from a normal GP ? Or we can only get from gynae?
 
Joan,
So sorry for ur first BB.. i believe he doesn't wan to see u and hubby suffering that's why he chosed to leave this world.. and this round come back as 2nd healthy baby to see papa mama again..
 
morning everyone!

hi mel, i got mine from the gynae's for around that price also. how many times daily are you taking those supplements? i too have itchy stomach and sometimes unknowingly scratch them. not really like rashes but more like little red dots but it's not the area where red dots are that's itchy. also dunno why like that.
 
joan
sorry about the loss. things always happen for a reason and you are absolutely right in that gender is not important. what's more important is the health and wellbeing of the baby. i conceived only after a very long time of ttc and for me, while i have a preference in baby's gender, i will be forever grateful for a healthy and strong baby come this july
happy.gif
thanks for sharing.
 
Jurong gal,
my gynae prescribed me multivitamin and calcium.. I bought the Neurogain PB Plus from Unity Pharmacy (recommended by June mummy, pebbles) and show to my gynae and she encourage me taking the fish oil which the same brand also can be purchased from her clinic.

Other than that gynae gave extra vitamin B6 to boost up my appetite cos I did not put on but lost weight since the 1st trim until now.. she pretty worry.. haha.. so now I try to eat more like an elephant hopefully can put on at least 2 kgs in my next checkup.
 
missmoon,
i am taking one capsule in the morn only..cos i think its quite heaty..so the nurse advise to take one instead of two..
how about you?
 
Mel!!!

I'm upset!! Tell me which age and which month will I conceive a gal leh. After this is born, I have to start work again.... sob sob sob.....

Ha ha, you real naughty.... the genital looked like Hamburger? Aiyo, actually when my Gynae first scanned that area, I really saw hamburger, but he insist it's testicle there lei. Haiz.....

Kite,

My side, it's very normal to have first child as boy.... But honestly, I only have 2 brothers.... and 3 sisters.... So which means, my hubby's genes is stronger? Yet there's another theory told to me yesterday... Guys whom are meat eater have high possibility to conceive boys.... My hubby is one, and he loves oysters, and he takes tonic wine every alternate days. Which means.... I'm doomed to be mummy of boys? I can faint.....

Eeyore,

The dress is absolutely lovely.... with some crystal accessories.... oh, so sweet.... pretty mummy.

Jurong Gal,

You also wanna look for babysitter? I shall ask my MIL's relative whom live in the same block ok? Cos the baby she is taking care of currently will graduate this coming October. Cos, she's going to preschool already. I let you know.

You always go to the market there for food? Honestly saying, me and my hubby always run elsewhere. We really do not know what to eat now already.

Joline,

I will get my hubby go scan it for me. Hopefully all will see clearly. Aiyo, my boy is going to be exposed!!! Ha ha ha....
 
mel, i'm on fish oil twice a day, calcium once a day, and iron 3 times a day

<font color="ff0000">Happy Valentine Day To all Mummies and MTBs</font>

Hong,
Fast?? Me 20 weeks on 25th Feb ma! So the gynae scheduled me on 28th Feb for the details scan .
 
MTDT,
Congrats for having a boi... Ooh can shop for your bb stuffs liao
happy.gif


Gers,
Happy Valentines' Day
I am a June MTB but my EDD is on 29th &amp; there might be a chance of becoming a July mum as well..
 
Joline,
Yah especially if u are breastfeeding ur child. Will be gd for the infant.

I am also looking for the Neurogain. Unity has?
I think gynae clinic will be much more ex.
I was thinking to get the 5 bottles that Pebble mention.

NOIF,
i think i chose to scan at my 21st month.

Oki,
U know the gender of ur baby?
.
 
hong,
I see..
Yes, yes.. I bought mine from Unity @ Jurong Point.. I also got the feeling that gynae clinic will be more ex cos last time I showed the fish oil to her she asked me how much I bought from Unity, keke.. next time I will check with the assistant how much they sell there..
I think get from Pebble also good cos that's the best price.. but I feel safer to get it from reliable source at least if anything happen like the product has been stopped then I'll know immediately..
 
Happy VDAY to all mummies!!
happy.gif


Pills - for me, i am taking ProLacta for Mothers - twice a day (fish oil), calcium - once a day and Obinmin - once a day (multivits).
Based on my blood test, i dun need iron pills.
happy.gif

everyday now eat so many pills, makes me feel like a sick person!
sad.gif


Okipoki - how's ur scan?? i cannot rem bb weight now. but TMC's detailed scan reports hv a graph to shows bb on the25, 50 or 95 percentile etc. so my bb current size seems to be on the 50%-95% range

ProLacta - is more expensive as it's from AU. according to my gynae, it is the original version. Neurogain - is from Malaysia (she says it's the priated version! haha)

Mei - ur ProLacta only $40! tat's cheap!
can buy for us from ur gynae! hee hee
 
Huh cheap ah?? i still thought its expensive..ok great..can of course can help u all buy..

How much you paid for the fish oil??
