cheryl
i think those u mentioned, non preg period also cannot do coz can be quite risky...skali got small needle or fingernail fall on bed how...
for malays, future brides not allowed to go to weddings when its nearing their own dates...scared kena evil eye..

my hb tries to stop me from eating too much. he's afraid he'll have to deal with my weight woes later. haha. i heard that in 3rd trim we won't be able to eat so much even if we want cos the stomach space is being squished by the womb. some more during 1st trim, i was merlion all the way...just making up for lost time! hehe. wat is the acceptable weight gain ? is it 0.5 kg a week or more?
tongtong,
me really wanted a baby girl...try not to feel dissapointed and happy but somehow still feel that way...until i was a bit speechless when my doc said even more confidently that she's about 99% sure am carrying a boy...
but now i try to think all the positive side... but jokingly told hb dun want second one...in case turns out to be another boy!
anyway, been reading stories about miscariage and d/s so just hope that my baby is healthy. waiting anxiously for my blood test now.

hi ladies..
i am having sore nipples now, think must be due contact/abrasion with my bra. what can i do to make it better? i saw the shops selling nipple cream, but i presume this is for cracked nipples?
i thought i saw a 'nipple shield'--looks like a teat to me, will this help?

hmm...
i tot detailed scan is kinda compulsory..
at TMC its called fetal assesment scan/unit
when i went, the radiographer measured everything on the bb..counted all the fingers and toes, hands and legs. checked all the organs are fine, checked for cleft lip, check the spine and of course for gender.

piglettail,
Nipple shield can help, but usually use on breastfeeding mum who usually have swollen nipples which cause great pains.
Deatil scan is not compulsory. If you want, can choose it. For us, I think it is safer to check n know your baby's condition.
Cheryl,
yalor... I'm counting down to it too. Long long.
Guess pregnancy is about all the long waiting.

hi ladies..
thanks for the information on the detailed scan! yar lor, i also thought it's compulsory all along. anyway i want to do lah, provided it does not cost the sky and moon!how much is it?
also each time when i go for my check up, i will have to pay additional for my scan photos. the scan itself is included in the package but the photos are not. hence im wondering if other MTB also have the same situation as me. if so, can we request not to print out the scan photos? i want to see but like quite 'wasteful' as these pictures will fade with time...

no i didnt do the OSCAR test.
one - chances for me quite low, im 25y.o
two - oscar test need to do when by 2-3 mths rite, for us muslim, we consider d feotus a living 'person' coz got heartbeat and cannot proceed with any termination unless preg is life threatening to mother.
but during my FA, the radiograher said everything okay.

blueginger,
no i didn't do the oscar test, so far i have only done the triple test, which is a blood test, correct?
everytime when i go for check up, the doctor will scan lor...this is the 'standard procedure' ?

hey mummies,
at our stage of pregnancy, is it normal to feel baby's movements and then nothing for many days after that?
reason i'm asking is my colleagues tell me that in 3rd tri must monitor and count baby's movements every day. it's a way to detect if baby is healthy in between the gynae visits.
my friend's baby still birth 7 months while still inside the womb due to suffocation by the umbilical cord *sob sob* apparently, some pple say that these may be detected early if you notice a gradual decline in baby's movements.

if ur dr's clinic is at gleneagles, then the scan will be done there as well, most prob at gleneagle's radiology dept.
i doubt dr's clinic has the equipment but u can check.
another reason it takes a while, slightly longer than normal scan. then if ur bb likes to move, the radiographer will have to take a few readings to be more accurate
garfield
ya, i read tt from 6mths (i think) if bb movement under certain number, have to infrm gynae..cld be sign bb in distress.

i did a DS test plus blood test during my 11th weeks, is that call a OSCAR Test?
tat can see very clearly, i could c my bb fingers and thigh as well.
suppose to measure the nose bone for DS but my bb hand cover its face so cant measure
Then measure the NTD onli.
But the blood test shows low risk and during my next visit to my gynae i told him abt tat bb cover the face then he scan the nose bone and show tat is normal..
Then i was more relief. Tat DS Test cost me abt $320.00.
My detailed scan is due in 3 weeks time, had not check with the cost yet.

garfield,
i think it's normal for now to only feel it once in a while, maybe when the baby punch or kick ? my dr say maybe in another month then we'll probably be able to feel the movement better. anyways, try to think positively..
dorothy,
yeah, i will let you know if i decided to sign up
piggletail,
my package never explicitly say that they will print photos for me, but my dr. always print lots of pics for me to keep. last scan, she was v funny, keep printing coz not satisfied that she can't capture my baby's face front view until she printed like around 6 picture

cherly,
detailed scan is nt compulsory.. according 2 my gynae, he will assess the blood test results. if the results r normal, my gynae will nt ask u go 4 unnecessary tests... tis is wat i gathered info frm another mum in my gynae topic..
i even check wif my gynae's nurse, she aso told me gotta wait till the blood test results then decide...
but jz as other mtbs, i tink i would prefer 2 tk the detailed scan as i wan 2 mk sure my bb is developing well and ok..

re distressed baby...i watched discovery channel and they say that these days, babies delivered at 24 weeks have very good chance of surviving.
for those delivered at 21 weeks, they have moderate/low chance. but still got hope
anything before that is almost no chance.
21 weeks = 6 months, so late 2nd tri onwards delivering a distressed baby has some chance of survival
