Good morning everyone. So happy it's Friday. Thanks for everyones reassuring words and advise yesterday. I called up my gynae's clinic and asked the nurse there on what I should do. She said there's no reason to worry cos not everyone will have MS or even pregnancy symptoms. She just asked me to monitor myself and if there's slight spotting, to call them up asap for an appt with doctor. My first scan is this coming Monday. Can't wait to see something. TGIF!!
Thank God its friday..

Hi Juliet & Roxy,
Both staying jurong? Near where? I am staying Jurong West.. 600+ there.
Heels,
I think heels stil ok bah. As long be careful and not too high bah.
iamsnow,
Dun worry la. No MS also good. Sometime having MS may not mean bb is extreme healthy. Its jus our body & hormones reacting. Bb is sure growing well inside you as long regular check up, eat right sleep well okie. Worry too much wont do good for you & bb too okie. Cheer up today is FRIDAY!
WELLCOM BELSI!

Mostly next week bah when I turn about 7weeks then may able to see & hear heart beat. Now give mi shark fin also dun feel eating..

I agree with Cynthia. I think at different stages, our MS symptoms will increase/decrease. As long as no prolonged severe cramping, or spotting or bleeding, still okay. But if really worried, maybe better to see doctor for reassurance if not, we anxious, bb also anxious. Not healthy in long run. I think we will all be more relieved when 2nd trimester comes... at least, we can feel bb move... not so scared already. I'm also feeling less bloated today.

HI,
Have been reading this topic but only choose to register yesterday and posting now.
My EDD is 7 June 2008. Gynae is Jocelyn Wong of TMC. Now am at 7.5 week (coming to 8 week). Just went to Scan few days ago and saw bb heartbeat
I am excited but also worried as I have spotting (brown discharge)on and off since 1 month ago, gynae give me hormones med to eat, better now but still have on and off spotting.
I also have bloated stomach, during the last scan the gynae can't even scan anything cos too much air inside, she has to scan from virginal. Feel so bloated that sometimes i can't eat anything. Eat a bit then feel full, but become hungry v easily and sudden.
Next mth i am going for Oscar test, anyone done this test yet?

Hello gals, I know I have been MIA for sometime. Been having sore throat and heaty flu now. Cannot drink too much liang drinks so trying to eat less heaty food. My appetite is very small, when I get a full meal, I can only finish less than half of it, thus was being scolded by hubby for utilising less than half $$ of the meal.
To the newbies, welcome. Sorry I can't get all your names as this thread is just moving too fast.
Littlemini, I am very sad to hear about your case, do keep up your spirits and you can still try again early next year. The chance is still there for you!
Heels, I have been wearing sneakers, and lofters to work. Although I look shorter in them, at least when buses come, I can run for them. Of coz that was before I am preg, now, I cannot imagine myself running after them, only walk faster to catch them.

Hi iamsnow,
I understand how you feel. I also feel the same way now although as I understand from the nurse, this is perfectly normal as long as we're not experiencing very painful cramps, spotting or bleeding. If there is, please make an appt with your doctor asap.
I'll ask my gynae more about this on Monday. I still feel perfectly fine today. Not even the feeling of being bloated etc. A little worried at the back of my head, but trying to reassure myself that everything if fine. I asked the nurse if I could go for an earlier scan and she said that at 6 weeks, we may not even be able to see anything or diagnose. So, will still have to adopt a wait and see attitude. As long as there's no bad cramps, spotting or bleeding, everything is fine.

Iamsnow,
We can just walk in and scan? I'm also feeling very tempted to go now. I actually called up KKH cos I emailed Dr SF Loh just now for advise and he asked me to go by later to collect Duphaston. Then I read online that Duphaston shouldn't be eaten during pregnancy!! Sigh... I wish my husband is a gynae. Then all my questions would be answered.
Anyway, the KKH nurse told me no point scanning now cos only coming to 6 weeks. May not see anything. I'm so so confused now plus I already have an appt to scan on Monday with Dr Fong. Thinking of just taking half the day off and walking into any gynae clinic for a scan.

krispy, how come u call sf loh? my gynae is him. he gave me duphaston from my first day when I discovered I was pregnant. I'm taking till now. he say to take for whole 1st trimester.... i realise he likes to give duphaston for stabilising the baby.
my first appt with him was in week 6. but I was feeling very unwell in week 5, so I went to the gynae near my hse to scan. managed to see the baby's heartbeat. after that, I was more assured then.... u might want to spend the money to get some assurance.... my hubby keep asking me to go, instead of worrying at home.

Krispy,
I not sure about KKH. Heard from a frd, KKH not as good as in the past and they do not scan frequently too. Actually after 6weeks scan can only see tiny mini one less than 5mm i think. But stil able to hear heartbeat which is Impt.
Maybe U wan to chose a Pte Gynae instead? Now their cost can be even reasonable than Govt hospital lo. Just a suggestion. Main stil you & ur Hb discuss among yourself yeah. Some Pte Gynae they offer Pre Natal Package which you can take into consideration too yeah

cynthia, I think kkh's scan dept is different from the gynae. the gynae does not scan for u. this is something which I am not very comfortable with, that's why I intend to switch to the pte suite so that the gynae will do the scanning. the waiting time will be shorter also.

My last waiting time is abt 2hrs 45mins! Sometimes very fast abt 45mins. the nurse at the reception simply idle le!
I went to Ann Tan - Mt Eliz waiting time is shorter but very expensive! I remember initial checking for blood test is about >$200 liao! Then my hb decide to switch to KKH, so we go to polyclinic and do the routine blood test again... B'cos referrals from polyclinic to KKH is so much cheaper...

Wah, pay so much still need to wait that long huh? faint le... wait till ard we are abt 7mths preggie how... still wait ah?
Hmm... i was reading through the posts abt KKH and want to share my experience.
Scans are done when necessary and when ordered by the doctor. Scans are quicker at 24 hour clinic and at the private suite cos there are scan machines in every room. If you go to specialist clinic, your scan will be done by another doctor and nor your usual doctor.
KKH may not be cheaper than private hospital if you are paying un-subsidized rates. Per visit to consultant at the private suite, I'm told, starts at $80/visit. This excludes tests and scans and medicine.

i seconded cactus79's postings... only go for scans when necessary...
Babycupid... advise from my sis post-natal massage lady... do not use a few brands at once to reduce/eliminate stretch marks. Stick to a brand consistently to avoid adverse result. She has seen a nurse apply so many brands (oil/creams/lotion) in her tummy and thighs area and when she giving her massage she notice there are big black patches around both areas.
I'm now using Nivea Cream. not going for any other brands... i find it very moisturing and my hb says it's good enough....
