Angeline,
OK, then I will try to limit my carbo intake during confinement.
for your advice! When is your detailed scan? I will
and
that you get your precious princess!
Sandy,
Me too have not been feeling any baby movements yet. I am 17 and a half weeks. How about you? I read that it may take up to 20 weeks or more before first-time mummys experience it.

kite, oh i see. i hardly take sardine leh. ok, good to know that's bb's movement all over the place
as for stretching...ya lor, first time i felt it i thought it was quite scary. haha, now i diligently apply oil over the area. oh, congrats on having a bb gal!! hope diarrhea is gone now!
kite,
It's good to invest on a sling, it's easy to sling baby everywhere you go, esp if you are travelling on your own. I still sling my son before I was pregnant, so he was at least 30 months ;P If you worried you don't use them, you can borrow from friend or buy 2nd-hand ones... I have extra if you want to try them out when your baby is born.

kite, i only have his hp number 90675008 (Long Tian Xiang). He stays in Bullion Park, Unit #14-01 in Lentor Area (near Yishun).
Sometimes, I think it's better to find a gynae that is at convenient location. But it's really up to u. During my 1st trimester, have to visit Yvonne almost weekly due to my spotting problem, sometimes last minute, so my hubby cant make it. Have to find my own way there....

NOIF - It seems that our tummy will get bigger and bigger from week 24 onwards.
jazzyjas - Do take care of yourself, ok? Sit awhile when you feel giddy and lightheaded. Yup, as missmoon mentioned, its different from one MTB to the next. Furthermore, it also depends on the tummy. It seems that the really flat tummies will feel it quicker.
Glad to hear that your tests results are all OK!
Congrats in getting your bb's offical kick!
Sandy - Your obgyn is from Bishan too? I often go to Junction 8 to "kai-kai".
Angeline - *hugs* Hang in there! Wait for the detailed scan to re-confirm.
may - So sorry to hear about the pain! *hugs* Hope that it has gone away now. If not, maybe you can call your obgyn and see what's happening. Getting some re-assurance is the best.
kite - Hah...so, maybe I will be getting a princess! We shall see ok coz I am going for my detailed scan on Monday.

Don't feel guilty..I am sure your obgyn will only give you "safe" medicine to take.

Hi all,
Today I went for my first 3D scan... I could feel baby kicking while my hb and I were waiting to see gynae but he zzz after that. Gynae tried to wake him up by shaking my tummy with the probe but baby only shifted his hand around his face. Here's a pic of my baby to share... he's sleeping on the placenta.

Hi ladies,
May I join you in this forum? My EDD is 1 Aug 06 but think would deliver a little earlier than that, plan to be induced just like what I did with my first-born.
Btw, Joan, I'm so amazed by that 3D scan image. How much do you have to pay for it? I'm currently goin to TPS at KKH, any idea if we could get a 3D scan at KKH?

Thanks mummies! It was really amazing and amusing looking at the scan. He look so real.. haha.. Cant help imagine him lying inside my tummy like that.. haha
This is the 1st time our gynae was doing a 4D scan (which is a 3D scan with baby movements seen) for us.
My hubby and I feel that our baby looks 90% like daddy cos he is so skinny.. hee.. Doc says now baby will definitely look skinny cos fat tissue is not grown yet..
Okipoki:
Our gynae provides 2 types of packages.
We signed a package with unlimited 4D scan for $1800.
The other package which our gynae provide is $1500 with only 1 free 4D scan, other scans r done with normal ultrasound.
Additional 4D scan will be $250 each.
The package can be sign from 14 weeks onwards..
YB:
I think that is the umbilical cord too.. did not notice it in the clinic.. only saw it after we reach home and see the pic again..
Dunno u realize or not, his left hand is above his head.. that i also only notice it later..hee.. my hubby say he saw it while doc was doin the scan..
missmoon:
4D scan and detailed scan are different.. A detailed scan will be focus on checking of any abnormalities in all physical part of baby.. especially heart, brain, limbs, perineal area, etc..using the same ultrasound you go for every appt..
I am not sure whether a detailed scan can be done with 4D scan or not

Kite,
Found you in MSN liao. So sorry about Friday night. I'm supposed to log in but my hubby told me that he is rushing his report to be submitted early Sat morning. Work overwrites leisure time, so I have to give in. So sad......
Sunshine,
Thanks. I will also cross my finger. My Gynae will reconfirm with me when the detail scan will be cos he suddenly have to fly to Britain for some conference. Haiz.....
Jadepearl,
He he.... yeah, will have to wait for the detail scan to reconfirm.
Joan,
The 3D scan is so amazing. Almost could see everything. Print out is in this colour, how about the screen you saw there? Hmm.... 3D scan is only scanning from the skin right? Not by inserting tube in right? Cos I'd seen documentaries of preggies going for scanning with tubes inserted into the stomach, and they could see the live image of the baby inside. What is that scan?
Hi Nurbates,
Welcome welcome.....

Hi Joan, thanks for sharing ur bb's 4D scan.
Its so different from those we saw wif the usual ultrasound. Btw, ur pkg is $1800 wif unlimited 3D or 4D scan? So does this mean tat whenever u go c ur gynae, he wd print the 4D scan out & gv u? I have not sign any pkg wif my gynae yet. Not all gynae does 4D scan rite?
Japepearl, I try to do thgs slowly n take it easy.... Ya.. i am having itch on tummy n boobs too. Applying the johnson's & johnson's moisturiser faithfully every nite. I am wearing maternity pants, the tops so far still qte ok, so din buy maternity tops yet.
Kite, hope u r getting better.
missmoon, how r u?

angeline,
look like still have hope for u. hahaha..
Joan,
the 4D scan is so clear! I rbr my collick even show me a 4D scan clip of his baby moving. Amazing how technology can do now.
Tuna - i still take. I think is save cos the amt is little not alot. Else can take cooked salmon, the DHA value is higher than sardine. I think sardine is more on calcium cos we eat the bones. Ikan bilis is also high in calcium.
Japepearl, my detailed scan was pushed back to 21 March instead of 16 march cos gynae on reservice.

Hi Joan,
The 4D scan is amazing.. Ur boy v cute know how to use hand to cover his face. Next time see whether u can take the 4D pic with his hands waving at you to say hello or not.. it will be very interesting..
Hi Sandy,
U can opt for those click-on earrings instead of put-through one..

jazzyjas, going back to rest sounds like a good idea
oh, actually when i did a full blood test at very early stage of pregnancy, found out that my antibodies quite high so gynae referred me to endocrinologist. so i've been under review with this doc. have to do blood test every month to check all these.

Hi joan,
Yes, I saw ur boy's hand on top of the head. It's all very clear. Seemed like he getting very comfortable sleepin on his side.
Hi missmoon,
Do you have hypothyroidism?? MY FT4 was normal but T3 is high. So I'm taking anti-thyroid medication. I'm hyperthyroid. My gynae told me that I can't BF my baby cos the medication will be passed to her thru the milk.
Is your hypothyroid mild? Mine is currently under control.
Hi Sandy,
During my customary wedding, even though I have earring holes, my makeup artist still insist on me putting on his clip-on earrings cos it looks nicer with the gown. Do check with your makeup artist if he/she provide u with the click-on accessories so that u can decide wherther or not to get ur earring holes done.
Hi all MTBs,
Do u experience discharge from your breasts? Last night, I discovered that there're some transparent discharge from my breasts when I press/massage them with the stretchmark cream.

hi YB
actually my thyroid is ok, just the antibodies too high. apparently it will affect the thyroid hormones, thus the regular check. my T3 is ok, it's the FT4 that was too low on the average radar, so i guess i haven't reached the stage of really having hypothyroidism. think it's hypothyroidism cos this medication i'm taking is supposed to increase metabollic rate. cham lah, really cannot BF baby?!

Hi missmoon,
Normally, abonormalities will be shown on FT4. My case is a bit differenct cos it's my T3 that's giving me problem. When ur FT4 is low, ur antibodies will increase. Similarly, when FT4 is high, antibodies will reduce. They're all related.
Yes, the medication that u're taking now is to increase ur FT4, so that subsequently ur antibodies will reduce to normal. We have to monitor the thyroid by taking blood test every other mth.
When we BF our baby, the medication will be passed to the baby thru the milk. It will affect the baby's own thyroid hormones when he/she absorbed the effects of the medication. The baby may become either hypo/hyper.
Yes. Thyroid disease will affect the development of the baby. Cos thyroid hormones is needed for the mental development of baby. Too much or too little will cos some serious problems. That's y we have to be meticulous in taking the medication.
