MTDT, is Neurogain from Malaysia? I vaguely remember the brochure from Gynae mention Japan. Must go back and check the box.
kite, LTX is the only geomancer I have been to, so can't compare. "YLZ" brand is well-known in the industry but he's very ex. The ring theory is, I would say, very subjective. My friend tried but the results are never conclusive. Put it this week, there is always a 50% chance whichever theory proposes, it will be correct (either boy or gal mah!)
Joan, sorry to hear abt your loss. Be strong and believe that God provides!
Working MTBs, does your company cover your medical expenses relating to antenatal checkups? My company covers, so instead of going out to pharmacies/cosmetic counters to buy the fish oil/stretchmark creams, I just get it from gynae and managed to claim it back as these are categorized as medicine in the receipt..

Regarding Neurogain - this was wat my previous gynae told me.
Neurogain fish oil is extracted from the Tuna in Japan cos Japan have large supply of the fish. The fats extracted from behind the fish eyes.
It is scientifically formulated in Japan and pack in Malaysia. More like cost cutting to me. If the whole making and packing process were to be done in Japan or US. i dun think we will be able to get it at this price.
However, the medical value of the fish oil to our body and the baby is still the same.
Do note that not all fish oil are suitable to pregnant lady due the EPA and DHA ratio.
For Neurogain or any fish oil suitable for preggie the EPA is lower and DHA is higher. (u can go and check other fish oil, the EPA is very high)
High EPA levels may lead to: increased blood loss at the time of delivery , depressed AA status and affected growth.
Jazz, is not Cod liver oil.

MTDT - Congrats on having a prince!
Sandy - Updated!
The detailed scan is from 20w onwards, it seems.
May - Maybe with the detailed scan, your obgyn will be able to get a more accurate EDD.
No worries as long as bb is fine!
kite - Yup, our EDD is real close!
Lots of moms have told me that I may even get a June child...lol. So sorry to hear about your leg cramps! Feel better soon!
NOIF - Good luck with the scan on the 28th.
eeyore - The pink dress is gorgeous!
jurong girl - My obgyn did not give me anything except for forlic acid. He said eating the 5 groups of food each day is sufficient.
Joan - Thanks so much for sharing your story with us! I am so sorry for your loss! You are so right - a baby is God's gift to us to remind us how much he loves us.

Angeline:

mel/angeline:

kite, ya, now i consciously try not to scratch. tough boy. i now try to moisturise the entire area wif the stretch mark prevention oil. as for the supplements...i take calcium once a day, fish oil twice a day only. it's the iron pills that i have to take 3 times a day cos my antenatal screening test came back wif low haemoglobin. thanks, am trying to drink lots of water too
now my mom prepares more cod fish during meal time cos the omega oil from it is a good source? i read somewhere that preggie women should avoid salmon and tuna cos of high mercury content?

Hi MTBs,
Anyone what's the difference between the normal ultra sound scan and the detailed scan? Does the gynae use the same 'machine' that he/she uses duringe each visit.
Howz everyone feeling? Hope u had a good time on Valentine's day. My hubby and I could already feel that the baby is celebrating V-day with us and next year's V-day, we will need a baby chair if we dine at restuarants...Heee....
ANyone planning to go for Yoga class? I read in another thread that it helps in delivery....

Morning MTBs,
jape,
Have u started getting clothes for ur baby?
When is ur detailed scan?
U have a romantic dinner.
May,
depends. If ur gynae wanted to do the detailed scan for u and the machine is able to do so he could do it but i guess many will sub this task to other cos they have too many patients to attend to.
V-day celebration - we never let our daughter celebrate with us yet cos we want our privacy sometime.
kites,
I just took any fish that i think is bearable to me. Fish like cod fish, salmon and tuna is gd.
missmoon,
iron and calcium is quite heaty. U have constipation problem after taking so many pills?

MT - Re my scan everythings are okay. Baby was abt 314g & according to gynae was on the average weight. Haha, guess the calendar is really inaccurate for you huh !!
May - Both my detailed scan & ultrasosund scan are using the same machine. Just that detailed scan will zoom into areas like heart, lung, kidney, lips, hands, legs etc.

kite, only once a day for all 3 supplements in the morning, though I try to space out the calcium & multi-vit. If u want to take more than once, better to check with Yvonne. My company doesn't have a ceiling per claim. Just that 1st $200 is for my own account, subsequently up to $6000 is 80% reimbursement and beyond that is 100%. Though I always find it strange that they cover everything except normal delivery charges (partially for C-section). Every little bit helps, so should start claiming. Of cos, if your hubby's medical covers the spouse, u probably want to see whether it is more cost effective to claim under hubby or your company.
Missmoon,
Regarding to constipation, you can also try not to eat alot of bread and rice, as long as the food belongs to the category of Carbo, try to avoid, as they are the main cause of constipation for pregnant women. I seldom touch those and I'm quite regular.... once a day or occassionally, once every 2 days. Prune juice is high in fibre thus helps relieve constipation. If you don't really like Prune Juice, can try eat lots of fruits and vege. But avoid fruit juice, as it's high in sugar. Fattening.... Hope it helps.
Hong,
How did you celebrate your valentines? Me and my hubby went out shopping.... end up, all the stuffs we bought belongs to our boy. Pampers, Mince meat, veges..... toothbrush. Haiz.... it still revolves around him. Dinner settled at hawker centre, both of us sharing a plate of char kway teow.... and something cute happened.... we both scooped up some noodles each and end up chewing on the same strand of noodle.... he was quickly chewing his way towards me but I quickly bite off the link... so embarrassing... cos we are sharing table with another couple....
Joan,
My heart goes all the way out to you. It must had been a devastating period for both you and your hubby..... Enjoy your present baby.... let Joshua go.... He will watch over both of you always.
Kite!
Ha ha, the next baby will be my third baby plan liao..... ok, we plan together ok? You have MSN? I PM you my address..... Chat there.... so nice....
Yes, my hubby is a big fan of fish... and he eats lots of it. Hmm...... no wonder liao.
Hi Jadepearl,
I'm having a boy..... Can update for me, thanks!

hi angeline, thanks much for the tips. i didn't know that carbo is main cause of constipation.
MTDT, generally, prenatal classes more expensive. i will go to my usual yoga studio at telok ayer cos they also teach prenatal yoga. their charges are around $30 for 8 classes (with 2 months validity)

mtdt, lok, it's Yogaspirit. check out www.yogaspirit.com.sg. each lesson lasts 1 hr 15 mins.
there are other places like Gaia Yoga centre and True Yoga that offers if i'm not mistaken. but these are big yoga studios. i always prefer the smaller studios

jazzyjas, it comes and goes. i wish it were more regular, can go everyday, then maybe won't feel so cham

mtdt, ya, just realised that. see lah, me sotong lah. it's yogaheart!! www.yogaheart.com.sg. pai seh, really.

Joan - All the best to you too!!! In 5 mths plus time, all of us will be carrying our little bb in our arms.
may - The detailed scan machine is different from the normal u/s scan machine in my case. That's why I have to go to the OSCAR room.
Here's some info about the detailed scan. In US, they call it the level II scan and it is an examination designed to look for anatomic abnormalities of the fetus. It is generally performed between 18 and 22 weeks menstrual age. There are six basic reasons for doing this:
1. To detect problems which may be incompatible with life outside the uterus.
2. To detect problems which may require the presence of specialized personnel in the delivery room.
3. In the event of an abnormality, to help parents-to-be prepare (e.g., contact support groups, etc).
4. If an abnormality is found, to allow parents the option of intervention, a follow-up ultrasound and/or genetic testing.
5. The maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) blood test or "Triple Test" (TT) was abnormal.
6. To provide reassurance to the prospective parents that their fetus is all right.
Hope this helps a little!
Yup, by next V-day onwards, BB makes three!
hong - No lah...haven't bought any clothes for my little BB. My detailed scan is next Mon. So, maybe after knowing the gender, then we shall start shopping.
Parents should also have some quiet times for themselves...
My mom often remind me... so, does your mom takes care of your DD during V-day? Thosai ~ yummy yum-yum. These days I crave for roti telor!
okipoki - Glad to hear that your scan went well!
Angeline - So romantic!
Congrats on having a prince!!!
Mel - Good luck with the appt!
missmoon - Thanks for the website! Going to check it out and see.
jazzyjas - Me also dunno gender yet. Hopefully, come Monday, we shall know too.
So, when is your coming appt?

Seem like most of the obgyn give u iron, fish oil, calcium. My gyn from my 1st pregnancy till this current one gave folic acid and obimin only. Ask him y did not give me calcium he told me "obimin" contained all and sufficient liao! Anyway, i'm okay with it cos taking obimin i will still get costipation at times. IF he give me more calcium or iron sure will get worse! haha!
Kites,
Took lot of Tuna during my 1st pregnancy. Think it's safe la.

NOIF - lol,except for mine. He only gives me folic acid. Wah, constipation is terrible. That's why I try my best to prevent it. Sometimes, not matter how hard I try, still get constipated.
hong - Okie dokie!
Hopefully my little BB will co-operate and open big-big for us to see.
