lovedogs,
my gynae n some gynae felt tat triple test is sufficient unless d mummy is under d high risk group, then other tests may b ordered. my frd had her 1st bb n now 2nd bb under dr chan, only did triple test. triple test is to test d level of 3 hormones (1 is HCG, cant remb d other 2) in the blood, n 2 b used as an indication of down syndrome risk. but agn, such test results may not b accurate. some pple results may show high risk but d bb is perfectly normal. so w tis result n other risk factors assessed, such as age, family history etc, d gynae then decide whether to advise d mummy to go for further tests like aminocetesis.
i alwy ask my hubby, wat he wan for his b'day etc, he wld say no nid lah, save d $ for urself n bb. so somtx i wld give him v simple surprises like a self made card, w some drawings n my boy n my foto n said some 'rou ma' n 'thankful' words to show my appreciation for his TLC. wen my boy jus learn to talk a bit beta, i recorded his voice saying 'papa.. mama, ashrel love'. took me wks to 'rehearse' w my boy n get it recorded. but he din fin d last word 'u'..
somtx i buy 4 hubby his necessities like briefs, socks etc.
af my boy came n me being a sahm, less romantic liao, jia lak..
