Hi luz,
'
actually, every woman is at risk of having a downs syndrome baby. That risk increases with age, but increases disproportionately when the mother is 35 years old and above. There is always a risk in every test done so the doctors will weigh pros and cons of the different tests and advice the mother accordingly.
Actually, if we think about it, even as we cook our food with gas, there is a risk we could be subjecting our babies to poison, and if we eat outside, we risk that the food is not carefully cleaned or cooked...
we can't eliminate all risks around us, so just have to live with it. Tests will help us make an informed decision. But even if we are at risk of having an abnormal baby, it doesnt mean our baby will definately be abnormal. There are also abnormal babies who are mildly abnormal compared to very abnormal.

Jesslyn,
I think even if you wanna die your hair some ppl say over 3mths den do. For me.. actually for my 1st gal, i done rebonding & dye within 3mths hehehe and nothing happen to ah... I think best to let ur hairstylist know not to touch ur root. For me mostly I will do before CNY whereby I m over 3mths liao bah. I think individual beliefs..

hi ladies, a thought just came to my mind. Not sure if I'm thinking too much. Our preganancy will lead to the birth of a baby 9 months down the road. THere is no turning back. For the next 20 years or so, a life will be dependent on us financially. For the next 12 years or so, a life will be dependent on us emotionally. for the rest of our life, we will have another person, apart from our husbands, parents and siblings, to share our lives with. It's just an amazing thought.
I don't know if I can be a good mother. Hb and I bought a book - 101 issues to consider before you have a child. We didn't have the chance to go through even a page before we realised I was expecting. Having a child can be such a happy, yet scary thing.

Thanxs sparks & luz.
Hi Juliet,
it's a relief to know there's another MTB who shares the same sentiments as me.
Actually, my hb and I are mega-planners. Before our customary wedding, we made the decision to check whether I'm immune to certain diseases which may harm a fetus or baby. So in a way, we were prepared for a baby's arrival. But we NEVER expected baby to be conceived during our honeymoon... and we left for our honeymoon the next day after our wedding dinner! So many changes happening. It's scary.
Being mega-planners, we are now a bit stressed over child care arrangements, housing issues (we're staying with parents for the time being. Our plan was to buy our own place next year but if we need parents' help with baby, we can't move out.) It's a bit trying for us cos whilst we need to plan long term, we need to plan short term too.. like which doctor to go do for delivery...

Can normal GP do ultrascan?
Today I woke up and didn't feel all the normal pregnancy symptoms. No breast soreness, no mild cramps at the tummy area. I never had MS and nausea. Only woke up with a bad backache.
I read online that these could be symptoms for an early miscarriage and I'm panicking in office now. Tried calling my gynae's office countless times but I think the clinic only opens at 630pm. Even then, I'm not sure if I can get an appt with him cos he's really popular.
Please tell me what to do?? Is this normal???

Hi krispy,
not all GPs can do ultrascan. There are 2 types of ultrascan. One is through tummy. One is through vagina. I believe only some hospitals and some O&G doctors have the scan from vagina. Some GPs may have the tummy scan. It's best ifyou call the GP to ask if they have the machine in their clinic. Call the bigger clinics. If you are very worried, you can walk in to KKH's 24 hour clinic. They have both types of machines there.

Just to add, you only need to bring your NRIC to KKH's 24 hour clinic. It is a A&E department but they also accept non-urgent cases - therefore, called a 24 hour clinic. Alternatively, you may want to check if TMC accepts cases of your sort. They also have a 24 hour clinic, I believe.

Hi salmonfish,my appoint will be on 1st nov at TMC.when is urs?
Hi krispy, I don't know if it is normal. Although I read the same info as you did.. signs of an early miscarriage. However you are not bleeding or spotting, so you may not be miscarrying at all. It's better to go to a doctor for a scan.
If you previously did a tummy scan, this time, you should be able to see a sac still. If you previously did a transvaginal scan, you shoudl still be able to see a sac transvaginal. Don't freak out if you previously only saw a sac transvaginal and can't see one now with a tummy scan cos tummy scan is not as sensitive as a transvaginal scan. Also, scans are operator dependent. If it is an inexperienced doctor, she/he may not see the sac even if it is there (esp for transvaginal).
If you are at least 6 weeks, doctor may already be able to detect heart beat.
If you knew your previous HCG level (from prevoius blood test), you may want to ask doctor to take your blood again to check present HCG level. If it is a miscarriage, HCG level will drop. If you did't previously test HCG level, then you may be asked to return the next day or in a couple of days to recheck HCG level. HCG level is differnet for every woman at the same stage of pregnancy. It is the "relative" HCG level for the same woman during the same pregnancy that can tell doctor if you are miscarrying.
In the meantime , don't worry too much k.

Hi jesslyn, my hb also give his mom $ every month. Me also, for my parents. We just have to plan very carefully and prudently. We can't plan too far in the future so much so that we forget to enjoy today. Neither can we enjoy today so much that we neglect to plan for our future.
