Hi Mommies..
I went for checkup last nite. My 16th week. At first baby was in a sitting position, looks like he is meditating..
I wanted to confirm the gender cause at my previous scan at week 12, we already saw the birdie, but because too early, doc say about 80%.
Then last nite, because baby was sitting, there was no way to see. My doc very nice. He asked me go take a walk or come back later. So my hubby and I went for dinner, then went back to the clinic. Meanwhile, I talk to my baby and tell him to be guai guai and let doc see. When we went back, doc immediately can see the backside and confirm boy boy. My hubby and I are quite happy, and I also saw baby waving.
re: Tricia
Hmm, sounds like your gynae is not nice. If i were you, i wouldn't go back to her. To me, the most impt thing about a gynae is she must make you feel comfortable and happy. I mean, most of the doctors in Singapore are skilful and qualified, so we don't really have to worry about that. Thus, to me, a good gynae will be some one who can advise you, or make you feel assured. Of course, they can't guarantee you anything.. but they shouldn't make insentive and stupid remarks. As for ultrascan pics.. there is really no excuse for not printing.. If I were you, I would have scolded her or insisted that she scan again to have a fresh set of print out. When I went for my scans last nite, I got 2 sets of prints, one at the normal time, and one after my dinner.. and doc gave me total of 5 prints.. of face, of back, of body etc.. So, don't let the gyane be mean to you ok.
Re: Blurbelle (nightmares)
Hi, I also always have strange dreams, but not nightmares. I remember one when a very big giant fish was chasing me! My hubby said it's because i don't like to eat fish.
I really hope your nightmares will go away soon. It must be tough for you. Do think of beautiful thoughts and try to talk to your baby. You never know, it might help. My friends, who have babies before, say that preg women always have dreams cause our babies are dreaming. Dunno how true is it... but do think of happy and beautiful thoughts. If you can't sleep, then read a book.. dun force yourself to sleep or you may feel more miserable.
Re: Neurogain
My gynae also recommends Neurogain. But it's a supplement, not a necessity. My last checkup at 12weeks, i was asked by the nurse to buy, but I didn't. Then last nite, i asked my doc whether it's necessary to take. He said it's of course up to me, but he said studies have proven that the DHA and dunno what else in Neurogain, can help to improve baby's brain and intelligence. I asked him is it too late to start taking, he said no.. he said can take through out preg, and even after that when we breastfeed baby. After hearing that, I decided to buy (cause I dun like fish). Neurogain has fish oil in it. For those interested, I bought mine at $30 for 30pills.. so $1 per pill per day.
