SGN, NO THANKS! Keep yr CL!
Whew...was down with gastric flu these 2 days and on MC. Fever, diarrhea, body aches...vomitted this morning and felt so much better but still body ache..
piggy_mummy,
I've posted on the Jan thread to ask for CL contacts. Will update you once I receive any replies.
bonjon,
congratz on the results! Haha, same here, when I go for check-up with hb and not so good news, I will tell him next time don't come along liao.
muzicgal,
yupz, my first was c-sect. Could have been a natural cos I was already 8cm dilated after 9hrs, but I was having high fever and with my heart murmur case, Doc Soong was worried so advised c-sect. Besides, baby's showing distress liao. So off I went for epi c-sect.
Of course natural is beta lah, heal faster. But for my this #2, most prob I will still go for c-sect unless bb decides to arrive earlier himself. Cos I'm afraid of the looong labour and if same case where i get fever again...haiz...the hospital bill will be sky-high.
My first pregnancy bill for single bedder, stay 4D3N was $6000! After medisave subsidy, still had to pay cash $3k...faintz. My SIL, really short labour, only 3hr, too late for epi, only paid cash like $750! so much difference.

Tracy, take care ok! You must drink lots of water wor... so far i realised the multi-vits that I hv been eating, i have not been sick since after the flu at wk 5. But i know must drink lots of water to prevent constipation.
I wanna try to go for natural birth without epi since i cant have epi. So will double confirm if i can go natural. My gynae initially say maybe cannot do natural as i have slipped disc, so I still nid to see a specialist to confirm my back situation first. Whatever can save, save loh... its a bonus after all and can use it later for baby.

hi bonjon,
Thank for prayer. I dun hve any DS history in both family, my son is a healthy toddler too..Hope to share good news to you soon.
HI LB,
Not all gynae in KKH can do the amino test, mine is done by Prof John Tee, he is v fast, the procedure takes only 5 min...actually thruout i dare not to open my eye..is not as painful as i think for..just relax. By the way, why u need to do the test?

Hi Xavpris,
Thks for the reassurance, mine will be prof John Tee too. I am 38 and did my blood test (known as FTS in KK) came out to be 1:75, high risk, so doc strongly advise to go thro amnio.

Hi sgn,
I went SGH for amino test and will be going there again for detailed scan, no follow up there.
Hi Tracy,
I'm joking la cos he never accompany me in both preg, so far only once when he happened to be on study leave and we are going to his parents' pl for dinner. Since your hb is willing to accompany u, let's him go. It's nice to share your joy with him.
Hi Xav_rpis & LB,
Dun worry, your baby will be fine just like my.
This morning while waiting for my gynae, the nurse suddenly tell me, "I guess your is a girl." I asked why she said so, then she said my report is here liao. I smiled, she said I'm guessing only. So funny.
My gynae briefed me on the result for the partial report, it stated that a female baby normal count of Trisomy 13, 18 & 21 but can't detect abnormality below 20%, need to wait for detailed report which is available in two week times.
She tried to scan for gender but can't see any penis or balls. She asked me to wait for detailed scan to confirm the gender. I guess it's cos I told her I have no preference to the sex of the baby when she asked me. However, it seems to me, high chance it's a girl.
She had given me flu jet cos she said she does not want me to catch a cold as it's normally raining in Dec & Jan.
She had prescribled prenavit tablet and calcit Ultra for me, she said baby is developing so I need to consume more iron & calcium for its growth & my too.
She had also recommended a booster for Hep B in Jul next year cos she said my body already has immunity but better take a booster after delivery. I guess it's cos she afraid that baby will take away all my nutrients and I will be weak.
Is anyone buying the bag that Tracy recommended? I'm interested to buy, I tink it's convenient.

Hi,
I guess it's still early to tink about delivery cos baby will change it's position.
In the first preg, my gynae din ask me about delivery at all. I'm positive in terms of preg and delivery, I believe i will go for natural without any jet. Truth in enough, I were admitted to hospital around 1am, it's already 3cm. When my gynae checked on me, already 5 or 6cm. My son is born at 4.54am.
This time,I believe in smooth preg and delivery, I never harbor thought for c-section.
So let's all dun think & worry too much, just enjoy our preg.

Hi ladies, came back from shopping on Fri! Finally can feel the energy level up, not so easily tired anymore.. But backache is bad..
La Senza is having 50% off for their maternity/nursing bras, price is $59 originally. Bought that and also their normal bras (but bigger size than before) cos even with extenders my old bras are not comfortable, the wires position are broader with a larger size and won't "poke" me so bad anymore

Hi LB,
I understand how u feel, I were worried after the triple test result. I heard from my gynae that veri seldom the triple test will be at the low risk for my age (33) & above. She din advise for amnio test immediately cos of the risk involved.
One of coll went for it (she din had triple test) even she was in her late 20s for her 1st born cos she said she want assurance. I hope to conceive again two years later, if my gynae advises amnio test instead of triple test I will go for it. I do not want to have extra worries altot I believe everything will be ok.
Dun worry too much, just rest and before u know it, u finish the test. Remember to rest well and stay positive. Baby will be ok.

Piggy mummy, ask u a question hor?
For me everytime I have alot of phelgm, I keep on coughing. Sometimes even cough till wanna vomit. At times I forced myself to vomit so that the phelgm comes out and I feel better. Am I normal to do that?
When you have phelgm, do u feel like coughing alot?
If I remember, I also try to drink plenty of water. BUt I hate running to the toilet so frequently.

I just bought a baby bedding set from Aussino, cannot resist cos it has cute baby mice on it (cos baby will be born in the year of the rat heehee)...
Lately I'm finding that I get thirsty very often and am drinking much more water than usual. I googled and found that we need much more water now that we're preggy, but really running to the toilet so often is annoying!
Does anyone know how much clacium we're supposed to be taking in? I'm worried that the prenavit might not be providing enough and I'm not taking any other multi-vits.. I got my teeth corrected many years back and am still wearing my retainers every now and then with no problems. But now even if I wear my retainers more often they're getting really tight. I've had a couple of nightmares where my teeth all dropped out when I remove my retainers, so scary

Hi, i oso have this phlegm problem from start till now. I've a habit of coughing out the phlegm in the morning when brushing teeth. But since pregnant i can't as coughing the phlegm out will definately followed by vomiting. So frustrating. I can't do anything, just endure try not to cough whole day.
I oso have burping problem which sometimes induce vomit too... but feels so good to burp out the gas.
My stomach feels weird all the time, dunno if i'm feeling full or bloated, always can't distinguish the feelings. Wonder any1 experience the same?
I'm 15 months now, but still can't take milk and fish... feel so bad for my bb...
Later going for appointment, wonder if able to see the gender.. so excited..

Lynn.. me too! feeling dizzy and fainting spell. i almost fainted on the MRT in the morning on the way to office. end up have to go out of the train and sit for a few min on the platform before continuing the trip. Horrible experience!!!

Yanling,
I know what you mean about the dizzy part...somehow, every Sat and Sun morning, I will be dizzy and need to lie in bed. Maybe cos weekdays i just need to wake up, get in the car, then at work just sit at the PC. Whereas on weekends, after waking up, gotta start running after my daughter, do laundry etc. So more movements.
Do you bring along a bottle of medicated oil with you? It's good when you feel dizzy in public places.

piggy_mummy,
thanks for the tip on the wolfberry & red dates.
Moony,
ya, dun use feminine wash. The last time my gynae gave me this hospigel to wash. can get from pharmacies.
Do you wear panty liners everyday? I learn that panty liners also will cause UTI. You must change panty liners often in one day to keep dry. Best is to do without liners, natural cotton undies more airy.
