Cheryl, you can try this shop called Egg at vivo city. Its a new Zealand brand, newly opened, so the top suitable for ladies with larger tops! However the price quite steep, all $100 and above but I heard good quality.
Alternatively, can try all those maternity shop at Suntec, next to Toy R S. Quite a few shops there.

ooh cheryl,
wanted to ask u-- the trisomy 21 and 18, together with the neck measurement = OSCAR? cos i did the same tests as u, but gyne didnt call it OSCAR, just say test for DS, so want to find out.I thought OSCAR is testing for PAPP and beta-HCG. Is that same as the trisomy?

so sad Don't know what's wrong. I was really looking forward to 2nd trim, everyone says the m/s will get better. Don't seem to be true for me.

hi all!
still trying to figure out how to access my PM..will get there eventually.
the dr changes my EDD each time i visit, cos my ovulation wasn't regular so couldn't tell for sure. i guess the EDD in the range of 1-2weeks is fine for now? probably can have more accurate gauge when bb is bigger?
wondering if any of u MTBs know of preggie yoga classes i could check out?did some search and only found birth and beyond. tanglin mall/tanglin shopping centre areas are too out of the way for me as i prefer locations that are just minutes from the mrt.

hi babes...
sorry still can't figure out how to access the PM (or how to use it at all). does it mean it's a email sent to me at my email account?

bkkgal, I know how you feel, I am in my 14 weeks still 'merlion' everyday. Lets us all hang in there. Its tough but for baby's sake, jia you!
Patsy, you must really bed rest. Can only get up to go toilet and eat. In fact if food can be brought to you in bed even better. Sound a bit 'kua zhang' right, but thats what two of my friends' gynae told them when they had some staining during their pregnancy. But stay positive and don't worry too much
Take Care!

piglettail,
welcome to the thread. i think u shd be abt 14 wks now lah. my edd is 4feb and i am nearing the start of wk 16 liao.
cheryl,
thanks for clarifying abt trisomy. i think trisomy 13 is some other chromosome defects.

hi fairfield,
hehe...i think i will ask my dr for the actual exact no. weeks im preggie the next time i visit him. i could have been confused..nowadays very bad memory.
do u MTBs have worse memory than before preggie? i find that i do, probably most of the time my mind is preoccupied with trying to deal with the MS. or rather, whole-day-sickness-syndrome for me.

Anyone can help??
Those taking Neurogain or Obimin, are there fish oil in them? If yes, how many mg per capsule?
I am taking Blackmores Pregnancy Breast-Feeding Gold and one capsule contains 500mg fish oil, each day I am taking 2 capsules, which means 1000mg fish oil. Do I need somemore fish oil?
Thanks

wow triplets!?! my girl friend delivered triplets couple of months back. very tiring on the mummy, so mummy must take care!!
hi andrea, i'm reading off the neurogain bottle now. it has 500mg of fish oil and the breakdown is as follows:
250mg DHA
20mg EPA
18mg AA
30mg OA
doc asked me to take one capsule a day so my dosage only 500mg = )

ya very tiring physically, and also requires plenty of emotional strength.
my friend had to go on full bed rest from 4 mth onwards, then delivered in 7th month. all 3 precious had to be in ICU for a month. she transferred to KKH so the bill came up to 50K instead of 150K with a private hosp.
now, even with MIL help, she needs two maids cos at any one time, require two pple to tend to the babies (unless they sleeping)
and she is thinking of number 4 cos she has 3 boys and would like a daughter! i really admire her =)

hi ladies.. wow .. very active thread
i only get to post on weekend cos weekday work very hectic, and my office open concept so no cubicles to hide my computer screen one.
anyway saw the topic on ginseng in the earlier posts.. just to share.. my gynae was actually the one who told us best to avoid ginseng. he says bec some ginseng contains steroid. i asked a girl friend, she told me some of the eys where there is chinese physician may be able to tell you which kind of ginseng can eat, and which to avoid, but since my gynae told me dont take, to play safe, i just avoid lor. but yah i agree bird nest without pao sheng not so frangrant..
i realise all of you get your blood test result very fast leh.. i dont know whether it's blood test i did.. but when i was at gynae last sat, a nurse came and took 3 tubes of blood from me.. but no one call me with any results yet leh.. should i be concerned? and when i was at gynae last sat, during the ultra sound, i dont think he did any nt either leh.. is it bec it's still too early for me?

hi mummies,
there are so many posts to read. has been very busy for the past week.
Down's Syndrome Test
I did mine on Monday. It's a torture to me. all because bb don't want to cooperate with me. doesn't want to lie down properly.
1st scan, bb sitting and keep nodding head. doc said probably my bladder not full enough. ask me to drink 3-4 cups of water and go back in 1/2 hr time.
2nd scan, bb was pushed down a little but still not lying properly. go back 15 mins for another scan.
3rd scan, bb lying at the wrong position. can only measure neck but not nose. doc ask me to pass urine and scan again if not got to do v-scan.
4th scan, still cannot measure nose. then i got to do v-scan!!
5th scan, is a v-scan. painful sia... and so paiseh.. then finally be able to measure the nose and can see bb's palm and finger some more.
it took me more than 2 hrs for the scan. so tiring... naughty bb now knows how to torture mummy already.
no one call me up about the blood test result. i suppose no news is good news.
Morning Sickness
i vomitted a few times this week and got gastric pain. that was really bad. merlion don't know associated to MS or my cough. doc prescribe me antacid. so far the gastric has not relapse. i am in my 13wk, thought that i shouldn't have MS as i was quite alright before 11wk.
Nutritients
apetite not too good but still can eat afraid that bb not enough nutritient. hence, i went to buy some multivit for pregnant women just now from nature's farm. 22.9 for 120 capsules (2month supply). don't know i should buy DHA as well. does anyone know that flaxseed oil can replace fish oil? i've still got some flaxseed oil at home for omega-3/6 etc.

i'm also thinking of getting a steam sterilizer, only so the maid won't have to stand in the kitchen watching over it and can do other stuff instead.. but my mum won't let me buy any baby stuff until i get to 6 months, so won't be able to get anything during the sales.. which is good coz i can't go out anyway
what a wet weekend!! perfect for zzzzz......=P
anyone went to the taka baby fair?
patsy, how are you feeling? me like you. hubby also doesn't want to buy until closer to end 2nd tri / early 3rd tri. that will be around year end christmas period so i think we can still catch good buys. now i need to do research and short list what i want haha....
