Hi Lennie,
I suffer from Heartburn too - and only thing that worked was Gavuiscon prescribed by my gyne. Take it after meals and no more burning sensation. As for burping and farting, I have no idea. I have more of a can't burp prob and at present, I'm envious of those who can burp!

Mousebb,
I also quit my job cos my boy got real sick after he caught viruses at his infant care. Initially when he was not crawling yet, it's still ok. Once he started being mobile,that's when he started to got ill quite frequently.
But i realised cos boys generally have smaller airways compared to gals when they're infants, boys tend to catch and develop illness more easily than the gals... that's wat i observed from my boy's infant care centre.
But we still think infant care is a better training ground compared to babysitter cos my boy got good social exposure (haha...) and he's carried lesser (we prefer that). Of cos, at the end of the day, "Mama-care" is the best!

Dear mummies
I'm new here. I'm at 13 weeks and baby is now 6+cm, with EDD on 3 Oct =)
Today is the first day I felt my pants getting tighter and would like to buy some comfy dresses. No need maternity, just flowy and roomy dresses. Any idea where I can get nice dresses?
Thanks in advance =)

Thanks for sharing ur experience. So what the salesgal told me is true afterall. But maybe she exaggerated by saying that her ex customer couldn't BF and her doc told her "no cure liao" because she wore normal bras for too long.. This is after I told the salesgal that I am using extension, I tot its ok since not that tight.

Cheer bear: I am doing my detailed scan not NT scan on 16 Apr about 1030am. What about you? I didn't know about FBI card when I went for NT scan so wasted... Will be sending out the form soon.
Karen: My MS taper off in week 13th, thereafter my appetite & energy came back. But breast recently around the nipple area have been itchy leh...
I also brought extension but decided to buy some new non-under wired cheap bras to ear. Quite comfy and also wearing those to sleep so that my breasts will not sag!
Littlebluey: Resent email liao!
I also tell my husband to talk to bb & he always play punk by saying the fish name because he is in seafood trading, irritating leh! But he also make a point to kiss my tum-tum which I find very heart-warming.. awwww...

Good morning mummies!
Went to see Doc last night. Surprisingly, he said dont need to take jab at this moment cos bb is still stable. A big relieve for me! But he still put me on duphaston, 2 tabs 3 times daily and was told to go see him again on next Mon. Bb is now 12wk liao. Will be going to do my NT scan on 4 Apr.

JJPArents, as long as wife has not touched 35, she does not required to go for the amniocentesis test that required to withdraw some YANG TAI Shui from your baby's water bag.
if you are below 35, You will go for NT Scan to check when if you are at the high risk for DS and if you are not, you will skip the amniocentesis test. If you are under the high risk for DS, the consultant will advise you to go for amniocentesis to double check on the baby for DS.

If my memory did not failed me, someone did mention it here before:
For NT Test : accuracy is about 70-80% and the cost is cheaper ard $100+?
For Oscars: accuracy is >90%, but I think if you do it at TMC, will cost ard $300+?
and of coz not forgetting Triple tests as well
Ladies, pls clarify if I'm wrong...;p</font>

Good morning ladies
Lennie, I'm suffering from heartburn! I got it during my 1st pregnancy till the time I went into the delivery suite. The moment my gal came out, the heartburn is gone. This 2nd pregnancy, heartburn seems more bearable. Maybe it is 'cos I'm used to it already also. I drink non-caffine camomile tea. Somehow it does help to relieve the discomfort a bit though not totally.
Wan Chuen, heee the salesgirl needs to do her job
If your normal bras is not underwire, I think it should be okay. I'm wearing my nursing bras since I already bought them from 1st pregnancy. Nursing bras usually have more hooks so can accustom our "growing" breasts.
Ya.. really looking forward to 2nd trim!

<font color="0000ff">NT Test:
NT describes a fluid-filled area in the back of the neck of the fetus. Measuring the thickness of ths area at a specific place is called NT measurement. It's is done thru abdominal ultrasound scan. Normally conducted btw 11 wk, 3 days and 13 wks, 6 days of the pregnancy. The detention rate is approx 80%.
Triple Test:
3 hormones are measured in this test - AFP (alpha fetoprotein), HCG and Estriol. Since the test included AFT measurement , it also screens for risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida. This test is usually done btwn 14-20 wks of pregnancy.
OSCAR:
NT screening can also be done jointly with 1st trimester serum screening (blood test). It measure 2 hormones called the free HCG and PAPP-A (pregnancy-associated plasma protein A). It is done thru abdominal ultrasound scan to measure the NT together with a blood test to measure the 2 hormones (free HCG and PAPP-A). Detection rate of combined nuchal translucency and 1st trimester serum screening for DS, Patau and Edward syndromes is approx 90%!</font>

JJ mum,
I did the amniocentesis test last pregnancy cos I fail the triple test....it was not painful at all so not to worry but there is some risk of misscarry so this time round my gynea advise me to go for oscar taste first cos the accurrectly is above 90% even though I just hit 35.....but tell u hor waiting for the result of ammio was really miserable.....really scare that my bb got down symdrom......but luckily she is ok!.

mousebb: Remember to take your medicine & rest well ok?
Tweety: Yes, the FBI card has 10% on NT & Detailed scan. NT scan is usually not included in gynae package one, I pay about $110 for it at TMC.
