(2008/10) Oct 2008

ladies, so envy all of u have been smoothly gone thru NT scan or OSCAR.
i did normal scan at clinic gynae get 2.7mm then ask me to do NTscan at TMC get 3.0mm. Gynae said dun waste money to do OSCAR & suggest me to do Amnio test on next visit ll be on week 15.

how u read the NTscan report, i saw tat show a background test is 1 : 771 & adjusted test is 1 : 65. as i noe we take >300 as a risk ratio. so i should get the background one or adjusted one?

any mum to be here can share the same experience as mine. btw, i m 29 & hub is 33 should be consider not over age bag..

i dun have a report for my NT scan. The doc just tell me everything is fine leh at 2mm. So also dun know how to advise you. Perhaps the other mummies can help.

Hope your sorethroat is getting better now. Remember dun take any 'liang teh' hor. I also have bad sorethroat for nearly a month and when i visited a GP, she told me preggie women cannot take liang teh cos it's too cooling. Can only drink lots and lots of plain water.

Oscar test = NT scan + blood test.
When i took my NT scan on last fri at TMC, my bb's neck thickness is 3.3mm. My gynae has then advised me to take the blood test and if the blood test come out normal, then dun have to do amino test liao. Blood test result takes about a day but amino test can only be done when bb is around 16-18 weeks. There is a small risk of miscarriage for amino test, about 1:200. Unfortunately, my blood test result still show risk of DS and so have to go for amino test when bb reaches 16 weeks.
 
<font color="119911">eyesight: Diane>> i got the reverse problem!! i went for lasik b4 getting pregnant, but now i feel my degree has changed!! they say pregnancy will do that! darn i should have gone AFTER delivery!

Bras: Diane, whitepaper>>wahhh u all so gifted!
sad.gif
me last time A also too big haha now still wearing A lor. was hoping for more "gift" when pregnant but no have leh...lol

forest>>normal bra still fit ok. any reason why get maternity bras, unless normal bra cannot fit? is it like nursing bra that can unbutton to feed baby?


midnight>>my gynae call it triple test and she does it for 16th week. i think is NT and OSCAR all testing for similar thing. so mabbe your gynae call it sth else?

rachelmummy>>woah sexy sexy ;P have more rest and fluids ya? and rest your voice, come chat us instead hee... no nid use voice one ;P

nosebleed: littlekwek>>me no nasal bleeding (yet?) but i read that its one of the symptoms of 2nd trimester. you last time nose bleed b4? coz all my life i never nosebleed b4, so mabbe thats why dun have.

Down Testing: bbgoh>>ya u and hubby not in risk range i think. u should get your gynae interpret for you coz i think we not as qualified as the gynae wor. last visit, my gynae measured the spine thickness and say unlikely to have down syndrome, plus me and hubby also same age as you. she say we don't have to take the triple test unless we want to lor. wondering anyone opted NOT to take the test?

<font color="aa00aa">mousebb</font>, oops! yesterday i bought a btl of luo han guo from fu hua herbal tea station. i drank the whole btl!!
 
Rachel Mum
Should be ok lah. Just dont take anymore cooling stuff for the next few days lor. Everything take in moderation should be alright lah.
During my 1st pregnancy, i din know about this cooling thing also and ended up, drank flasks and flasks of barley water and eat lots of water chestnut also bcos I had fever. But heng bb still ok.
 
mousebb >> thanks for ut info. may i noe who is ur gynae? mine is Dr Lawrence Ang. he keep ask me dun have to do bloodtest as only waste money since nw from NTscan not good result so as well bloodtest also wont be good de.
then advice me to do amnio to get 100% accurate answer but he still say we see how on next visit lah.
so when ll u do the amnio test? my next appnt is 5th May

Icylemon,

Heard there another formula but you might not want to drink it leh...heat up coke with lemon bring to a boil and drink heard it's effective...else gargle your mouth with salt water supposed to help for sore-throat!! Have a Speedy Recovery!

BBgoh,

Dun worry too much, am sure things will turn out fine

My gynae is Adrian Woodworth. Hubby was telling me even if Dr din suggest a blood test, he would want me to go for it also at least we dont have to wait for so long to take amino test.
My next checkup is on 19 Apr (next Sat) and most probably by then, my gynae will help me arrange a date to go for my amino test.
 
<font face="tahoma"> Hi bbgoh,
My bb measured avg abt 2.7mm for the NT scan too, but the blood test combined with the scan result turns out okie.

My personal view is why not just do the blood test first coz your age are under high risk.

For my age 31, my gynae said that the normal range is 1:577 and my result is 1:624 hence everything is perfectly normal.

Amino test has its risk too. Hence it's safer to take the blood test only, the results might be good hence you dont need to do the Amino test.

My 2 cents worth of opinion... hope you dont mind

anyone able to see bb gender already? the last chkup i went during my 11w2d, gynae suspect its boy, cos something sticking out between the legs, but she not 100% confirmed, gotta wait til 16 wks later then can know.

Not to pin too high hopes on boy, i suspect its the umbilical cord which we saw instead. Any comments?
 
Hi bbgoh,

From wat i guess, shd look at the adjusted risk figure. Coz it takes into account ur age, bb's measurement, blood test (if any)..tat's wat i understand from my OSCAR report for my #1. When i visit my gynae last evening, he use his highlighter to highlight the "adjusted risk" ratio on the report instead of the "background risk" ratio, and told me not too worry. Fyi, i did NT scan this time round.

The article is v.long but u might be interested to read it. The article says “The NT-adjusted risk combines a woman's background (age-related) risk and the NT measurement of the index pregnancy”. U might want to call up ur gynae to ask for exactly wat each of the ratios meant.

http://www.srlranbaxy.com/newsletter/voice44.PDF
From wat i noe, OSCAR includes the blood test which NT scan doesnt hv, hence, the former is more accurate. Was told by my gynae that accuracy for NT is 85% and OSCAR is 90%, so i guess the reason why ur gynae suggest Amnio is bcoz he feels 85% is close enough to 90%? Esp since u hv done the scanning twice alredi, so scanning error is quite low?

I noe its not easy not worry this, but try to tik positive. I do noe of 1 mommy who hv not so gd NT/OSCAR results and had gd results for Amino. I hv also heard many of such stories. Good luck!
 
bbgoh

my gynae also lawrence ang leh!!!...Eh how come he generated a report for you and not for me?....
I took the oscars.
 
Whitepaper, glad to meet u last nite

bbgoh

my friend's gynae was lawrence ang too. Her scan was not good so he also asked her to go for amnio rather than oscars. I guess he must have a reason for it? Btw my friend at high risk though. She was 38 when pregnant with her child. In the end she did not go for amnio since she made up her mind to keep baby no matter what.
 
Rachel mummy

u can go to those medical hall to buy the pre-made honey lemon drink....sometimes they have cold one also (if u take cold drinks).
 
<font color="0000ff">IcyLemon,
