hi HBB
thanks

Hi LS, wat's FBI? I think the nurse may not know abt the risk level etc. Cox it was the doc who did the test explained everything. He even plotted the graph to show the range of where i'm to give me a better idea. So it's gd to ask yr gynae

HBB

Well, mine did disappear slowly after my delivery unless you're telling me that those aren't stretchmarks and i was imagining them. In fact, it will get more faint and become silvery lines for some. Mine is all gone now. For some unlucky ones, yes it will stay with them forever.

FBI is First Born Incentive programme. For OSCAR, there's 10% disc & if your doctor registered under this programme, delivery fee will have 5% disc (max $100). Other benefits r discounts for prenatal classes etc.

Any mommies here join Yoga for pregnant ladies?
 
LS,
How do you join the FBI programme? Any fees to pay for to join the programme.... Btw, u can ask yr gynae during yr next visit abt e oscar test.
happy.gif
It was my gynae who called n told mi e results. I slept well last nite n i am happier after doing the test. hee!

Mashy & HBB, i gt stretchmarks during my first preg. Mine didnt disappear... i was e unlucky one who get silvery lines on my stomach. It was also because previously during my #1, i didnt know that it was stretch marks. I was also lazy to apply oil or cream back then. This time round, I am more hardworking... hope that the exisiting or new ones wont reappear.
 
hopper, dont worry... everything will be fine. try talking to bb often abt e amino test n asking him/her to be gd.

mashy

sheryl

sheryl
Membership fee for 2 yrs is $148 but if join after 20wks (or 28wks? can't rem), it's $188.

kittyng
Will book after hospital tour, maybe around 5th mth. Still considering between TMC or Mt A. Heard Mt A not bad. Bigger room, good service & easier parking. Will decide after seeing both.

For now, gotta sourcing out for CL.
 
HBB

So those ugly brown marks that i saw during my first preg wasn't stretchmarks? Then what were they? Maybe u can show us after u get bigger & your stretchmarks appear.
 
mashy haa hw I know wat were they since they were on u and i nvr seen yours before
mine still on my thighs n hips.

guess the best person to determine if they are anot are skin specialist =)
 
HBB

How come u have stretchmarks when this is your #1 kid? Unless u had them in your teenage years. The linea nigra that i had during my teenage years stayed with me till now.

mashy like i say earlier
its due to the sudden increase in body size. i balloon 12 kg in 3 mths back then... .
my skin doc already told mi is stretch mark and wun go away
 
HBB

wow, how did u manage to put on 12kg in 3 mths! That's a lot. Even during preg, we don't put on that much wt in 3 mths. Well, maybe preg ones will. For some.
happy.gif
 
mashy... its the food i ate i guess
too much carbo.. i literaly have bread or pizza for every meal including tea break LOL if not buffet... even my relative cant recognise me... and dh said back then I was like a ball.. now im like a stick
and i lost them all in abut 4 mth too
hope such miracle happen aft i give birth HAHAAAAA

my sis put on 18 kg in the 2nd n 3rd trimester... and i tink like u say.. for some ... they realy will lor
 
HBB

It's not good for your wt to yoyo like that. Very 'shang shen'. No wonder u have stretchmarks, coz the sudden increase in wt will give u stretchmarks. I just put on 5kg in my 1st trimester during my 1st preg and I already kenna stretchmarks.

We're no longer young when we can eat as much as we like and never put on wt.
 
Hi girls, anyone you still suffering from MS? I don't know is it due to flu or MS or a combination of both. Totally no appetite for the past week. Can't eat, only eat a few pieces of plain bread a day. Feeling all weak and lightheaded. Just want to crawl under a rock and hide away.
Can't wait for this to go away and regain the 3kg I lost the past week.
 
I just got my blood test result &amp; I have anaemia (lack of iron). Anyone knows if we could take bottled chicken essence now? I know it's better to take homemade chicken's broth but no time for cooking on weekdays
sad.gif
 
LS

can. But get those just chicken essence. Don't get those with added stuff like dong cong cao etc.

I remember seeing Eu Yan Seng's ad that they don't add caramel to their chicken essence. Maybe u wanna check it out.
 
HBB
My next visit will be 12 Jan so the nurse said just continue my multivitamins for time being &amp; they'll give me iron tablets only in my next visit. I'm worried will affect my bb &amp; thinking to buy some iron tablets outside first. What brand of iron tablets r u taking? Is your fainting due to lack of iron also?
 
Hi LS

What multivitamins are u taking?

Coz my gynae is giving vit c(coz I was having flu earlier), folic acid &amp; DHA.
 
LS
the doc at kkh no say my fainting due to lack of iron but she said since i am in 2nd tri liao can start taking

tat time the oscar test i did blood test but they onli tell mi result of DS no say i aneamic anot.

im taking obimiin. its quite a common iron supplement for preggy ladies i tink. quite cheap too.
 
Just had my oscar test, blood test result be out next week, scan is ok, range of 1.02mm which is normal but didnt manage to do a scan for the nasal bone cos bb was lazing away, didnt want to turn despite my gynae trying to get a scan of it..
 
LS, the oscar test shows u r anaemia? how did you know that u r anaemia? i am taking a multi vit that contains of iron, calcium n folic acid. Then, taking fish oil tablets too.
 
SabSab
I'm taking Obimin, folic acid, Vit B complex &amp; Calsium tablets.

HBB
Yeah, taking Obimin too even since few mths b4 preggie. Yesterday I read the contents, couldn't find Iron there (or maybe is it in other name which i'm not familiar with?)

sheryl
They took 3 tubes b4 my OSCAR test but only 1 tube taken to lab for OSCAR. The other 2 kept in my gynae's clinic for other blood tests I believe. As for fish oil, I've bought Amway Salmon Oil tablets &amp; found out in the bottle written not recommended for pregnant women. So now I dare not take. Later my fren who recommended me this, told me that fish oil is good for bb only at week 20 &amp; above. I think gotta check with my gynae in my next visit also.
 
sheryl

Read in the chinese websites that cannot take in 1st trimester. Coz 1st trimester is the time when the bb is forming, it can lead to deformity. So best to avoid.
 
Hi Mashy,

Can you pls add me too? Thanks!

Nick: Preciousthots
Birth Order: #1
Gynae: Dr Jocelyn Wong
Hospital: Thomson Medical Centre
EDD: To be confirmed
 
Hi yammummy and mypreciouskeagan,

we have the same gynae! May I know when are you scheduled to do the OSCAR test? I haven met Dr Wong yet. My first appointment with her is only 17 Jan. By the way, anyone of you has her email add?
 
Hi Mashy,

am seeing Dr Wong only on 17 Jan..called to make appt on 6 Dec and the nurse said earliest appt is only 17 Jan..it's a long wait right? Actually I did visit another random gynae just to confirm heartbeat a few weeks back and she did give me an EDD in July but Dr Wong' nurse said EDD may change during 2nd scan so thought of letting u know the confirmed EDD after my 2nd scan on 17 Jan.
 
preciousthots

Wow, 17 Jan. U really have lots of patience. Hahah. I think most of us here already cannot wait and rushed off to see the gynae. :p
 
yeah no choice coz the nurse said that was the earliest date..tho i am getting very concerned that it's quite late..coz would be in my 12th week then.

Yammummy, i read that ur last visit with Dr Wong was 30 Dec..may I know when u called them to make the appt? I called on 6 Dec but was already given Jan date..don know if the nurse made a mistake ..
 
LS/sheryl
i tink the fish oil can buy nerogain one. most of my gf take that and im taking too. certain brand of fish oil not suitable cos i tink gotto depend on which part of the fish and what kind of fish it comes from.

tat day the gynae say can take fr 2nd tri onwards.

some ppl take from day 1 of pregnancy. i tink no harm taking earlier as it helps in the baby brain developement
quite hard to pinpoint when exactly each baby brain develope
 
Hi Preciousthots,

My first visit with Dr Jocelyn Wong was also a long wait - on 9 Dec 08. Then after the first visit, I was given the next appt date on 30 Dec 08 of 3 wks interval.(In the end I have to visit her on Xmas eve urgently cuz of some cramps but it was all good in the end *relieved*)

My next visit will be another 3 weeks' time on 15 Jan 09, and I will be about 11 &amp; 1/2 weeks pregnant. Oh I will also be doin my OSCAR test at the upcoming visit on 15 Jan. I am also gettin impatient and also hope to see my bb's scan soon. My hubby has done his blood test at ACJ Clinic on my 1st visit.

For ACJ Clinic, its always very packed with appts one. When I first scheduled my pap smear with Dr Jocelyn Wong, I'd to wait for nearly a month!

Hope you are doing fine now! Glad to know that we are using the same gynae : )
