My one i been worried abt spotting then abt low placenta issue also. But later i tink worry too much also no use, just take one things at a time. Worry too much will stress up our bb.
Tell u when my mum had my brother, she is at high risk age (beyond age 35) and she has spotting/bleeding up to 7mths but she didn't see gynae cos tat time no money and she wanna save money. So everyday keep worrying scared bb born is not normal.
But my brother born ok everything fine and he is v tall now, but he got pessisimistic nature and mild depression now. So i presume his nature is more or less due to over worrying of my mum during her pregnancy.
Thus maybe u all bb be ok but bec u worry too much, it may actually affect bb too. So dun over worry.

Cactus,
Chin up, gal.
It takes immense courage and love for any couple to go ahead and keep bb regardless of the condition, so u have my admiration. *salute* Hang in there and I'm sure things will turn out fine for the both of you. Will keep you in my prayers. *Hugz*
Ellysia,
My fren who was preggy had some issues with her hubby and wasn't happy most of the time. Now her 2YO son has a frown on most of the time and seldom smiles. But I guess sometimes it's just bad timing la, also can't expect her to keep smiling when she is really troubled. Hopefully by nurture, the boy will learn to be more cheerful.

Luz, your DD's heart got golf balls? you mean surface looks like golf ball isit? So coincidence, that time, we 'Ang' our bed (when I was at work lar) and FIL drilled holes for our lamps in room (I was around), my son's left toes are shorter than the right ones (the 4 toes shorter by two joints each, Only the biggest one ok). My mum blamed on all these, but I think it may be due to that I was taking 'extreme' sliming pills before I got preggie, as it was unplanned. But now my son is ok, only left foot not nice,may be laughed at in sch, cannot wear sandles/slippers, but can walk and jump like normal kids.
Luz,
I feel this forum is good, let all mum to be encourage and share their experience and sentiments with each other. Yeah, few pregnancy are smooth sailing one. But my fren told me when we see the little baby, everything is worth it. Maybe we should consider ourselve lucky as I know of some out there who are still having problem conceiving.
Now I already started to replace some of my daily clothing with maternity wear as my tummy is really growing fast. I feel the best is those babydoll or sundress. After giving birth can still wear. I bought two from "cloud 9" at suntec. Quite nice : )

pkdust, yeah look it at another angle, i got several frds also got prob conceiving. should learn to be contented with our "sufferings" bcos utimately bb come out liao we also will forget it kekekeee

Veniz,
Boy at least always wear sport shoes etc and covered shoes when work too, so not as bad.. if gal will be jiat lat cannot wear sandals liao.
Maybe i shd avoid letting my mum or MIL know whether we does any "drilling or such stuff" in case anyting happen also get blamed.

Luz, Ellysia & Tera, I have already stop worrying about my son's left foot lor. Only that I have to explain to him the difference of his two feet and tell pple its ok, it does not really bother him as long as he is healthy, etc. The only sad thing is that he ever pointed to me that he wanted me to buy him sandles which I told him he is unable to wear as left side may be loose and will not look nice. Since then he never ask me again.
Ellysia, I do thinking drilling/shifting while you are not in the hse is fine, dun worry so much as by now, baby is formed and everything should be ok.

My goodness! This thread sure update at a lightning speed!
I envy those who have a noticeable bump. Many of those around me commented that I dont even look pregnant at all. My hb said I got a lot of space in my tummy for the baby to expand duh....
Many of ur had already went for the detailed scan. Mine wont be so soon till 1st Feb. Such a long wait!

Hi gers,
Good morning.. wat a nice Sunday morning. Went IMM yday, hoping to get some bb stuff. In the end, we didnt buy a single thing.. The choices of strollers and car seats threw us off. Duno which is good and which not. Haiz..
Starmoon,
Congrats!
pkdust,
I meant go for another blood test for thala in my earlier post, not amnio. ;p
Actually, I wasnt so worried about the amnio results until the nurse told me the next day that the detail scan looks abit funny. However, doc gave me all clear now.
cactus,
Salute your bravery. I think I noe wat you are feeling. When I was waiting for the amnio results, I felt this bond with the bb too and wanted to keep the bb regardless of the results. On the other hand, hb and I both noe that we are probably unable to keep a ds child. The financial burden will probably be too much on us. We need dual income to sustain the existing lifestyle even with a normal child. If the child is ds, it is either the case of insufficient cash or time for the child. Thus, our 1st reaction was to abort. We didnt really talk about it, was hoping for the best. I think I would have dread talking about the next action should the amnio turned out bad.
If you chose not to go for amnio, then have to keep your tots +ve ya. Like how you have been telling yourself, the possibility is actually pretty small. After the amnio, I dun think the risk of miscarriage is that great, but I am still keeping my finger crossed.
Actually, I am quite like you. This journey is super not smooth. I was suspected etopic too cos of extreme cramps, then unable to detect sac leading to many hormonal pills and jabs. Then bleeding incident in 1st trimester. After that, bad triple test results for DS and NTD. Just Friday, spotting in 2nd trimester. Haha. I prayed and told God that we have enuff excitment for this pregnancy. We need some peace. ;p

Gg to start my spring cleaning soon. I think I will spend a large portion of the day doing cleaning, wiping and mopping. Hb keeps telling me to leave the tasks to him. But with so many things to do, he sure complain de. Then he will do a sloppy job. I will do wat I can and leave the heavy duty stuff to him. I always tell him that I am pregnant, not handicapped. I mean the rest of the MTBs with older kids oso continue with teh cooking, cleaning and taking care of older kids wat..
Long day to go..

Sure can go back to work de, provided that your bb cooperates and dun take too much time.

I oso dun dare to take too many mcs for pregnancy. I already took quite afew last and this year. Not good lah. I always tried to go for my doc's night clinic for normal checkup and if need to go to his TMC clinic during office hours, I will take leave instead of mc.
I am done with the housework. Too lazy to mop after vacuuming the whole house. I think I will leave mopping to next weekend. ;p

hi ladies ! thanks for sharing all your concerns - my "problem" with this pregnancy is severe MS, and i was slightly depressed for a while - ie, why is it happening to me, why so severe, why why why - plus it didnt help that colleagues/boss not understanding at work - also stressed me out ! but like what you all said, i'm Thankful for this baby, and no one will understand fully what each of us experiences during our own pregnancy, but it's good support here to be able to share and motivate each other !
i guess the next step, will be labour/birth plans !! how exciting !!!

Well, there is a possibility you can see in friday's check-up if bb is co-operative so good luck! and may ur wish of a mickey come true.
ZuEn,
Yah, i know. Last year I had utilised a lot of my mc as well becos of pregnancy. Anyway, my gynae will issue mc only for the more significant check-ups eg detailed scan. Most of the check-up, i'll utitlise my annual leave.

Hi all, am back after being away for a while. Just went for my detailed scan a couple of days ago and found that we are going to have a Mickey!! Hb and I were hoping for a girl but now all we hope for is a healthy baby. Most important. I am still anxiously waiting for my AFP blood test results. The ultrasound shows that my baby's urinal tube to his kidneys are too thick for his gestation and if he doesn't grow out of it by week 32, may have to go for surgery when he is born. Doctor seems to make it like a 'no big deal' but to think of putting my baby through surgery is heart-breaking.
Hi gers,
Good morning.. we are getting near to CNY.
Teragram,
Even if the doc wants to issue mc, I oso dun want to take for normal checkup (even the more detail ones). Unless I am ordered bed rest at home. All my colleagues are single or married without kids yet, so they prob cannot understand the pain of pregnancy yet. Haiz.. So I always try to scheduled my appointments in the afternoon or night.
Mog,
Jan coming to an end liao. How are you feeling? Still getting giddy spells?
SF Piyo,
When is the blood test coming out? The blood test will be able to tell if your bb's urinal tube is indeed too thick?
I think he will be alrite. Seems like many of us had experience false alarm for different things. Dun worrie too much hor.

Hi Feifei, Zuen and *piyo*, i have to call my doctor to see when it will be out but based on timeline, i should have 1 more week to go. The blood test won't show results of urinal tube (that was only found during the ultrasound), but at least i know if my baby has any deformities or ds. Hope everything will be ok.

Oscar is scan + blood test. It is not scan only. Thus it is 90% accurate. Most of us who took Oscar take scan with blood test and the results are combined with scan + blood results.
We took Oscar bec' we understand that Oscar has a higher chance of accuracy and can know earlier.
So i dun tink Oscar has a lower accuracy or else people won't want to spend a lot more to do Oscar.
