hi gals, hv been mia from tis thread for a while.
Din sleep well yesterday nite, mayb having Oscars scan @9am at TMC. 1st, i was late. Then instead of gg to my gynae's clinic on 3rd flr, i went straight to 4th flr where the scanning is done. But was told need to get a form from clinic b4 gg to4th flr. *sigh*
so after getting a form from clinic, went back to 4th flr again. Was told to drink water for the scan. While in the room, sonographer mentioned tt bb was very active & then rite after she said tt, bb din move!!! BB must be petty as from then on, difficult to measure the neck. So was told to hv my blood test 1st b4 continue with the scan.
After blood test, went back for 2nd scan & this time, BB's position still no gd. 10mins later, BB seems to be tired of us looking at him/her, so he/she turned downwards!!! *argh* So sonographer asked if i had my b'fast & i said "no". So had b'fast at delifrance & pee b4 gg back for 3rd scan.
Went back for 3rd scan at 11am & both myself & sonographer kept quiet initially (afraid of saying wrong things... haha). While showing me the monitor, BB was stretching himself/herself & this is the gd time to get the measurement *BINGO*. Finally, after spending 2hrs+, we got the measurement!!! Will need to wait for the blood test results & clinic to call me tmr morning.
According to a nurse, it's common for BBs not to cooperate so dun worry too much if anyone here hving the Oscars/NT test later.... BTW, the sonographer managed to scan the bb's gender & it's most likely a girl....

Hi Starlite,
I have been away from office since tuesday, that's why no posting from me. On tues, baby measures 5.6cm at 12 weeks 6 days (although gynae said I should only be 12weeks lah - same reason as last time). Then he surprised me with a blood test!! I 'scolded' my gynae for not giving me adequate prep as I am very very scared of blood test. As I am right handed, he tried to draw blood from left hand but vein was too small, so after a while the blood flow stopped, then got to take blood from right hand!! So ended up got poked twice!! Now still got bruises on my hand. He took the neck measurement again and it is very low, and can see the nasal bone already, so quite relieved. My next visit is 29 Aug, again got blood test...but at least this time I am mentally prepared lah. When is your next visit?

Feliza - I hv no idea yet - bt I m sure all these fairs are round the clock one.
Koh - usually I kneel dwn, I dun squat le so tat my whole body is down. anyway if u squat dwn for 2 long, I find it very tiring leh........ esp when tummy is pressing against the legs.
Koh, dun worry, my coll also placenta is low, so she can't walk fast. Then she may get early bed rest like 1 - 2mths prior to her delivery.
Congrats to Koh/ Rae on having a bb gal. Hmm - 15wks can detect gender??????? *cross-finger* I can c it 2 nx Sat.
Cherryale - hw cme will hv 2 blood tests?

hi doggy
NT scan is used to check the possibility of baby having Down Syndrome. 2 things to look out for during the scan 1) the thickness of the fluid behind the baby's neck, the thinner the better, too thick has higher risk 2) nose bridge, if can see then DS risk is lower, babies with DS tend to have flat nose
However, one thing to note that NT scan is not confirmative, it only measures the POSSIBILITY. There are babies who are tested with higher DS risk during NT scan and turn out to be ok.
Usually, NT scan is done from 12-14 weeks of pregnancy.

Koh, pls try to rest more.. don't scrub toilet - leave it to your husband!!!
doggy, usually for 2nd tri, the visits are monthly but coming to 3rd tri, it will be more frequent.. I think mine was 2 wks until final month then weekly to check for signs of labour.

Starlite/Ah ger,
the second blood test is the second tri screening, think it costs 150 and is called the triple test?? Starlite, my package including delivery is $1200, will pay half first then another half later. Gynae said next visit, may be able to see the sex of baby..I am hoping for baby gal
Doggy, I will only see gynae once every 3 weeks from next visit onwards.

cherryale, why do u need to do 2 blood tests consecutively?
Ah ger, what u having for lunch later? My fren meeting me for lunch but no idea where to go leh. It's so boring here at Tg Pagar hor?
doggy, my visit is also 1mth interval. The bb's neck measurement can predict if bb got down's syndrome.
Catz, how's your ms? Better?
koh, it's true that if your placenta is too low, you got to go for c-section. But there's cases that some placenta will move up later. So dun worry too much now. What u need is bed rest....

Koh,
Take lots of rest please. If your boss asks you to go back, just take some leave lah. The baby is more impt than anything else.
With my #1, my placenta was scanned low at the 20 wk scan. Was a bit worried. But the midwife said that it would most probably move up. And she was right. If placenta is not too low, no need to go for C-sect lah. If placenta is sort of covering the cervix, then definitely must go for C-sect. Don't worry too much. It will probably move up.
Wah, you and rae can see gender already? So fast! Congrats on your princesses. I'm sure you'll enjoy them very much. Girls are so nice to take care of.

cherryale,
do you use a bolster? Bolsters can help you to sleep better on your side. But sometimes it's hard if you're not used to it lah. Like my hb. I always try to make him sleep with the bolster on his side, but he just cannot. Eventually, when you get bigger, I think you'll have to sleep on your side. I also use two pillows when sleeping on my side, so that my neck is not bent at a funny angle. But it really depends on your comfort lah.

Hi PVL,
I dun use bolster but I have 3 pillows and tons of stuff toys on my bed. When you use two pillows, its for your head is it? For the bolster, its to hug in front or put behind to support the back?
Hi Giggler,
actually I dun know what is the first blood test for although gynae did mention the purpose but guess at that time I just didnt pay attention cos I was too scared and whining away.

I hug the bolster. If I sleep on my side, then the bottom leg is extended and the top leg is curled on top of the bolster. But sometimes, I feel more comy with both legs curled round the bolster. Pillows for the head.

Hee.Hi koh..
Ya..its true..higher chance for premature n aslo may need C-sect..provided the placenta did not go up..the condition is placenta previa..the placenta blocks part of the cervix so have to C-sect. If bleeding is persistent..the placenta may pull away from the womb, n hence premature labour..its a serious condition..not trying to scare you..but u must be informed.
SO hope that for u the placenta will go up..then should be ok. But u need bed rest..
My girlfriend also currently having this condition..she had jab n 1 week mc..then mc finish she straight away go back to work, go jalan-jalan..then this week bleeding again..gynae scold..gave her a jab n 3 weeks mc this time.
Try not to go to work if possible..u should be resting at least a few days.

Hi all,
Can I join? I am expecting my first baby EDD 7 February 2007. Very excited!
So far, I have been feeling OK. I do wish I don't feel so gassy, burpy and nauseous all day and night though.
I have had two ultrasounds and two blood tests so far.
I had a dating ultrasound at around 6 weeks, because I wasn't so sure when my last period was, so my doctor sent me to determine the gestational age of the baby and estimate the EDD through ultrasound. At this ultrasound, hubby and I could see just the little sac with the heart beating.
I also had a blood test at this ultrasound to confirm my HCG levels, blood type, glucose level etc.
I had my 12 week/first trimester ultrasound two weeks ago. It was determined that I was at 13 weeks 1 day, baby measured 6.9cm (so tiny!) and the baby's heartbeat was measured at 155bpm. Hubby was busy concentrating on counting ten fingers and ten toes.
We saw all bebe's arms, limbs, fingers, toes, and even the spine, and the brain!
We also did the NT scan at this ultrasound, and coupled with another round of blood tests, it was determined that I am at very low risk for a baby with down syndrome, trisomy 13, 18, and 21.
Crossing fingers that the baby will continue developing healthy.
The bebe was really active during this ultrasound, turn left, turn right, and could even be see 'bouncing' around. It just refused to stay still. It took almost an hour before the doctor could get a proper NT scan and crown to rump measurements.
Hubby jokingly said bebe may have disciplinary problems in future. Also we are guessing bebe may be a girl because it was cheekily crossing and uncrossing legs during the ultrasound a la Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.
---
For those who might be experiencing placenta previa, I understand that in most cases, the placenta will slowly move upwards as you progress in pregnancy. So don't worry so much for now.
Hope everyone is feeling good today! TGIF!

Welcome pbuttercup! I enjoyed reading yr detailed description of yr baby.
My previous appt at 10 weeks plus..we could see the baby..was lying down on his or her back n the heart was beating..n I asked the gynae in child-like innocence. 'Wats the baby doing doc? And my gynae replied in most daddy like manner..'Well, baby is sleeping'..Then suddenly the baby stirred, moved the body up and down again and continue sleeping. Then all 3 of us, exclaimed together, 'There the baby moved!'
We found it quite amusing.
I excited to see baby again next week. I should be around 14-15 weeks.
