Hey anyone been to NZ before and have any tips? Planning a trip there in April. Will drop by Singapore for a week and then go to NZ for 2 weeks. Much looked-forward holiday before my #2. And good cos NZ$ is dropping. So cheaper to go.
 
Mummies it's me again.....

This 2nd pregnancy of mine is really not easy and after 6 visits to the gynae over a span of 10 days, it is confirmed i'm gonna lose it.

Yes, i ended my last post saying the doc saw something. Then on Tues, i bled again, and it's getting worst. So i went to see a gynae on Tues afternoon. This 5th registrar (junior doc) told me she cant see any fetus! I was like huh? Again? Have, dun have, have, dun have kinda sequence and i was going crazy. I threw her a series of questions and she asked to draw my blood to test my beta hCG level and to come bk 2 days later to retest. (Rightfully, it shld double every day). My boss asked me to go home and rest aft tat. But i knew i wont be able to rest peacfully w/o finding an ans. So i called and made an appt with Poissons & Tinkabel's gynae (Thanks gal!) at 450pm and rushed down to his clinic for the last appt.

My twin sis took time off and rushed to be with me again. Must agree Dr Chan is a very experienced gynae and his equipment is really gd and clear. He also told me the first gynae who saw me had misdiagnosed my pregnancy coz i shld only be in my 5th wk then. Well, he examined me and we cld clearly see the foetus, even heard the HB! BUT, he paused and said he is not very comfortable w/what he saw. He said my water bag is smaller than the usual 6 weeks pregnancy and the yolk sac is very large which leaves the foetus with no breathing space. I was more or less prepared for the worst and was rather calm when i heard the news. But was seriously thinking it's really fated. Dr Chan told me he only saw 1 success case over his 28 years of experience. He asked me to stop taking any hormone pills and let nature take its cause.

No doubt i prepared for the worst, i still cried very badly when i got home. I told my HB tat it seems like i'm waiting for the bb to be crashed to death.

Read from the internet that the pressence and size of the yolk sac is one of the crucial pt to note during early pregnancy. I asked 2 doc and 1 sonograhper what was the white luminous line i saw (yolk sac) and they said it's part of the gestational sac! They failed to recognise it though i pointed out and ask them! F***!

Supposed to go bk to take another beta hCG test this morning but decided not to go since i've more or less know the result. But the nurse called and ask me to go. So i went in the afternoon and got bk the result. True enuff, the level din increase much and is still hovering at 6k level after 2 days.

I've lost abt 2kg within 2 weeks though i've been eating well. Dr Chan said i'm emotionally stressed and said he wld also be if he was me.

Mummies who just got pregant, sorry i din mean to scare or make anyone paranoid, but i just want to share my story for all to learn and take note. Sorry for the long post and i'll be fine.
 
Cactus: I am sorry to hear this. Hang in there and take care. I guess no words that we say can help, but I really do understand how u feel since I have been through a chemical preg before Matt. Rest well and dun tink so much.

Thks cactus. Only do so when u are feeling better. Don't want to be troubling u, since I know u need some time to recover. Be strong ok?
 
cactus, thanks for taking the time and effort to share with us despite what u r going through. u r strong indeed. take care and rest well.
 
hey cactus, I am so sorry to hear this. Know exactly how u feel cause it happened to me before travis came along. Hugs. Take care, n its nobody's fault. Hugs.
 
MissA: Really?! Aiyoh... wait so long already, better be here b4 my trip..

Weishy: I dun really need a lot, but think bread and nice biscuits for him. Anyway, i am very lazy and was thiking of feeding him restaurant/ hotel congee or rice during the trip. Is it ok?

K@ye: n1 is 3 going to 4, n2 is 4 to 5.

Preschools: Not going to pay more than $600 for preschool, cos cant afford it. Hahaha.. no la. also gotta save resources for no. 2 n maybe I've seen my fair share of internal school environments.

Catherine: My J also wakes 1 - 2 times for milk(which he finishes) and maybe tat explains the 12kg. hahaha. But I still carry him la, just less.

Catcusnah: I feel sad for you, n though never had been in this position, i can feel your grief. Let time heal your wound, i hope it will..
 
smilemum:hummm those congee all hv MSG le......or rather those outside food in hkg :p so..............do they sell pre packed congee/prorridge in sin?????? maybe just eat rice with vege and little meat????
 
Cactusnah,

please rest well. I know its easy for me to say 'dont think too much about it'.. but i really hope you will get it over soonest. the roller coaster rides you been through hadnt been easy. you must be very 'tired' by now.

Till today I am not sure if what i went thru previously a chemical pregnancy or the problem lies with the digital test kit. anyhow, you and I are now blessed with healthy children.

while you grieved, maybe you can count your blessings that you still hve lovely baby E and hubby with you.

Please take good care of yourself.
 
i saw the post in dec08 thread regarding vicks.

In the article it says,
" A news report that Vicks Vapor Rub may irritated the airway of children younger than 2, causing increase mucus productions and inflammation"

"Vapor Vicks has some menthol & chemical which irritates the nose further" commented by Dr Soh by ENT Mt Elizabeth.. He added that it also do harm when applied on human's chest or throat area.

When applied under the nose, it lead to mucus build up, which is potentially dangerous to children who have a narrower airway.

Hi ASHM,

I tink that rub is relatively good.. but maybe cos i applied too much on the scalp liao.. then 'burnt' it.. Ever since i hve got phobia and didnt dare apply on him.

Hi Mischa's mummy,

Cactus, Icc.. Hubby was telling me that the pay cut thingy might be a rumour but it was further reinforced by his fren from another dept lor..

MM, yalor better go take carbon pills to stop it.

Pig, i only applied a bit on Claire's nose and her feet for the baby vapour rub.

Poissons: Hey want to check with u. When you were preg with G, did u go to TMC to do another detailed scan on top of that done by Dr Chan? I just called them and apparently, they usually does recommend an additional detailed scan at TMC by the "expert". This is of course additional charges on top of Chan's package. I just want to see what is the norm.
 
Tinkabel,
I didn't go for the detailed scan at TMC cos' the nurse told me that usually patients are ok with the scans done with Dr Chan. But hor, just to share, my sis's colleague, who also shares the same gynae as us, only discovered her boy has a hole in the heart when she gave birth to him. She didn't gofor the detailed scan too, so wasn't sure if she did go, will she be able to detect the hole in the heart earlier and be mentally prepared? Her son has just gone for a operation that cost her $65K!
 
Hi cactus,

I can feel the pain and stress that u going thru
sad.gif

If it's not gone yet, I still hope you don't give up first, who knows you might be Dr Chan's 2nd case of miracle??
Whatever happens, if it's meant to be yours, it will be eventually.
If really the worst happens, take some time off to grieve, recuperate and move on.
You have a nice sister, in-laws, as well as hubby and little E who will brave the storm with you.
Little E needs his mummy to be strong..*hugz*

U take care okie?? I hope all goes well with u..
happy.gif
 
poissons: Ya, same thing the nurse told me. Patients are usually ok with the scans that Chan does cos he is very experienced. But she also did emphasized that he is not the expert in this area. When I did my detailed scan in Shanghai for Matt, they also got the so-called expert to do it. I guess maybe I should do it then, since it doesn't cost that much (abt 200 plus). Reason I am asking is I need to fix up appts with Chan and TMC ASAP, given that I will only be in Singapore for 1 week. Thks for the info.
 
Poissons & Tinkabel, for my gynae.. He will recommend a super detailed scan if the pregnant mummy is 35 yr old when giving birth to the first child. That's what happen to my cousin.

So, Poissons did ur sis colleague hit the age limit?
 
poisson, thanks for the #. nobody pick up my call
sad.gif
will continue trying.

k@ye, this evening I cannot so most prob Sunday then. Past 3 nights, A cough till the lung coming out. Last night I gave her Hou Ning but end up her cough was the worst.
 


Kaye,
nope, my sis' colleague hasn't hit 35 yet.

MissA,
I think the clinic is closed today since no one pick up your call..cos i rem seeing on the visiting card that they are off on Friday. But they are open on Sat and Sun mornings.
