Hi Ladies
I am new to this forum. Been reading this forum for the past few days and saw that there are alot of nice people here
I was actually looking for some kind of support.. I just got pregnant (about 5wks). My feelings are very complicated now.. as I had an unfortunate 1st preganancy last year..
I had to terminate my preg last year (Sept) when I was at 5th month. At the detailed scan, my baby was discovered to have foetal anomalies (spina bifida and hydocephalus). Cried like mad and even until now, i still get choked with emotions and tears when I think about what happened.
Now, after quite some months, I thought I am ready to try again.. and now that I am really preg, I am filled with alot of conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I am happy about having a baby.. but there's always the thought that lightning can strike twice.. So my emotions are up and down.. happy but worried... excited but sad..
I didn't know about this forum last year.. if I know, I guess I don't have to suffer so much in silence.. I mean, it can be very difficult to talk about it to people who are close to you..
Whatever the case, I am hoping to get some recommendation of gynae from the experienced mothers here. My previous gynae was ok.. but I just thought maybe I shouldn't go back to him.. I don't know.. maybe supersitions.. I didn't feel very comforted by him when the news was told to me that my baby has problem. So I thought maybe this time round I should see someone else. He is a doctor at TMC..
Perhaps someone more sympathetic.. and not too expensive ok

icylemon, how about your mum's place? you can also go back for dinner
Autum, am sorry to hear your story.
Glad you summon the courage to try again. Hope you will have a smooth delivery this time round. Take good care!
Autum, am sorry to hear your story.
milderina,
my mil always cook a lot for my hb, haha she likes to watch us eat. I miss my mum's soup, becos i am cantonese, and mum always make very nice soup.
icy lemon & bluegrapes,
i should be 9 weeks, next next monday I will go back to sg gynae and scan.. then I will know.. heehee so excited. but of course I worried abt keep changing gynae.. like worried I would miss out some tests or checks up.. have to discuss with my gynae and maybe get her to give me a list of things that I should be doing. I only plan to come back in nov. still wanna tour taiwan first.
autum,
hugs, i understand ur feelings.. same same my last pregnancy end with a m/c. there is another 2 mtb in the feb 2007 threads which also had the same experience, but we are back to try again. I always try to believe what my friend say.. the success of the 2nd one is over 90%.
I also feel up and down.. so exited and worried and scare abt the next appt.. I try to be positive becos it will affect bb too but I am sticking to my old gynae becos she had been over kind and sympathic to me, she divert me to a side first before giving my hubby's the medical report of the m/c. But her fee is slightly higher. perhaps u can check the support group under m/c as well.. they will have some nice recommendation.

err...m/c = miscarraige i think
*TOUCH WOOD*
*TOUCH WOOD*
Thanks for the encouragements.
I guess in my case, there is a sense of guilt as I didn't have a m/c. I mean, I actually had a termination. The feeling was terrible, because at 5th month, I had to actually "deliver" the baby because that's the best way to terminate. They induced me using a vaginal pressary.. and I kind of like went into "labour".
The whole feeling was very surreal.. because I was pacing up and down in the delivery room and waiting out the contractions (at that time I didn't know it's contractions)... until my water burst and I "delivered" naturally.. of course, I didn't take any painkillers because at 5th month my baby was very tiny..
It's weird to think how I actually went through the "classic" delivery process but I have no baby..
Now I really hope that the same thing don't happen again.. I guess all we can do is pray very hard.

Autum, your experience truly very saddening. I feel very weak while reading your past story. Am impressed that you can summon the courage to give yourself and baby a chance.
Dun worry, I am sure you won't have to go through this again. And at least, the gynae you seeing would be more careful based on your past experience. All the best!

Autum, sorry to hear that...do join in the chat here...we can all share infos etc.
Actually Autum...your story reminded me of another 2 cases that happened to 2 of the mtbs...one is one week before due date...that was a really really heart wrenching one...
Let's all pray for smooth and safe pregnancy and take good care of ourselves and our babies...

Thanks icylemon!
So happy to see so many caring people in this forum.
As I said, I should have come here earlier.
I am not sure about my EDD as I haven't see a gynae yet. I went to a GP to test my urine and got a positive. By my own estimation, I could EDD in late Feb or early March.
As I mentioned, I am not sure which gynae I should see.. that's why I am asking if maybe you gals have some good ones to recommend. Actually at the end of the day, if your preg is smooth sailing.. there's not much difference between who to choose right..

icylemon, I also go to the one at 4 horse road.
Icylemon,
My detailed scan is supposed to be the 20weeks scan (although I did mine on the 21 week). It's the scan where they measure everything about your baby.. they look at heart, lungs, liver, kidney etc.. and measure the length too.. fingers, toes.. everything.
During my scan, they saw a protusion at the lower spine (near backside). This is like a hole. What happened is that the spine didn't close properly when the baby is forming. Because of that, my baby brain is also swollen. The spine is supposed to drain the fluid from the brain. Since the spine got problem, fluid builds up in the brain cavity. This then pressured the brain and distorts the brain and head.
As brain is the most impt part of the human, this means a high chance of brain damage, and physical handicap.
I didn't do any other test before this scan (triple test or oscar).. cause anyway, I was told by doctor, that this kind of fetal anomalies can only be picked up in the detailed scan (20wks)..
I know it sounds scary.. that's why I guess I will be worrying all the way till my 5th month.
Please take folic acid. I didn't know there was such a thing called folic acid until this happened to me. By the time I know I was preg last time, I was already 2 months.. and the baby spine would have been formed in the first 3 weeks!!
