doing a one time blood test on hcg level (hormone level) is meaningless. u need to do 2x... at 48 0r 72 hrs apart.. ur hcg level needs to double to indiciate that it's normal and the bb is growing..

Hi Smurfy,
If HCG level doesn't double... means baby development slow is it??
Recently I did alot of blood test since I can't do any scanning (too early)to assure myself...
1st blood test level is hundred 70.
2nd blood test after two days is only 250 which doctor say not ideal as it should double after 2 days...
3rd blood test is done again after 2 day and is already 350 which he says is growing is good but still not ideal yet.
Then las scan is 4time which is after 4 days.. it only goes up to 7hundred plus which he is expecting 1000level.. I feel so upset that why he always say not ideal, say baby grow slow... my scan is only on 3rd of Feb... feel so worry everyday.. may I know anybody here got my above experience but still is ok? And had give birth to a healthy baby ultimately??
For my 1st baby... just one time blood test and that's it... not sure why this doctor keep want me to do so many time blood test until knowing too much figure makes me more worry... sigh...
Need more more advise gals... please... worry..

Hi everyone,
I just tested positive at home and is around 5 weeks pregnant now... Is it really unsafe for sex during this period? I read before somewhere that its ok during pregnancy.
Anyone know about traveling during the first trimester? I need to travel but am not sure whether I should.
Anyone revealed their pregnancy before going to the gynae? I have yet to reveal it as I heard that we should wait till the 2nd trimester before we announce the pregnancy.

Vicky Tan,
Do not travel at all during first trimester. My gynae was afraid I'll be back for CNY cos he said there's radiation when flying and could bleed. Miscarriage could result.
Tiffy, Katherine,
Hmm...I just read on the net that folic acid is good while planning and in the early stage. Some other reports say it's good throughout. Anyways, I'm kiasu. So I'll take it throughout. Afterall, my gynae says there isn't side effects.
Mummies,
Stay away from Vit A, liver cos they cause deformities.

Katherine,
My first kid was delivered via C-Section. My gynae said chances of successful normal delivery after C-section is 50%.
It's weird here. If you go private, the patients can decide if they want C-section or normal, even in their first trimester. Some gynaes only do C-sections.

Hi gladystey,
I'm about 5-6 weeks preggie and I don't have any symtoms. No Morning Sickness, don't feel bloated or anything.. I think the only thing I felt was constantly tired which I thought it was cause I was busy preparing for my eldest boy's P1 entry. heheh that's why I still don't believe that I'm pregnant until I went for the scan.
Doc couldn't see the fetal pole but saw the sac and etc cause I was still very early in the preg..
So if you don't show any signs, its okie...
This is actually my 4th Child.. lol hence I can't believe that God will bless us with another little one... lol

Hi crystal, yes I am doing for progesterone level not HCG. the nurse told me the average should be 100. My gynae wants me to double my dosage to 2 utrogestan100mg 3 times a day and one 5mg folic acid to support the pregnancy. You mean 82 is good? I am happy!

I'm just 27 this year.. hehehe...
Hahha.. we have plenty to learn from you then... ooh.. so low fat soy milk is better...
but i'm beginning to dread Nutrisoy... i prefer fresh soy milk.. but the packet ones are making me sick.. bleah...
Joanne> why are u sad??? its better not to have any MS man.. sleepy is the initial part... do rest more now... bb is growing and building up..
babiesmeme> hormones pills plus folic acid is $40 in total huh?? folic acid is super cheap lo... $2.75 for 50tablets....
seems quite ex hor?? hehehe...
JovanMama> hehee.. i think most of us also used baby center for EDD.. hehe... but i had my EDD from my gynae too la..
Jiahui> i think its ok to drive during pregnancy. i have a fren who's in her 2nd trim now and she's still driving..
so.. just be careful la..
Sometimes its not u.. but other drivers la..
Katherine> hehe.. i washed the toilet twice.. but ok leh.. hehehe..
you are 2nd time mom?
I think Tuna is okay... but shark and swordfish i read in book better not to eat... coz they contain toxins...
So we cant eat otah la.. but i'm not eating.. coz was told otah is VERY fattening de.. hehehe...
Canned tuna is better than fresh one.... whats impt is that the food are all pasterized.. safer..
i just read that in "What to expect when you are expecting" last nite.. hehehe..
No raw salmon or sashimi.. no raw food.. everything has to be well cooked...
No runny egg too.. sob sob.... i love sunny side up tats runny... but scrambled eggs are preferred..
The idea is to have all cooked.. to lower the risks of eating some harmful bacteria like salmonsella or watever.. and some listixxxx.. dunno what bacteria...
Are u a teacher??
cheekian> hehe.. i guess the best thing would be to test and know for urself..
i tested at nite..and have both kits positive...
But i heard morning would be the most accurate if ur HCG levels are not that high yet... but if tests at nite are positive..
you can be assured that tests in the morning would be even more accurate..
kiki> whats a sahm???
woah.. great... so which gynae are u seeing now?

my gynae said... no chilli or oily food.. will upset stomach and cause constipation too.... but i try la...

ooh.. come to think of it...i've a fren.. she has 5 kids too... haha..she's 27 this year as well..
#1: daughter
#2&3: twin daughters
#4&5: twin sons
hahaha.... now i'm really amazed... heheh....
I didnt know that those in the market are not calcium fortified? but i thought natural soy already have some nutrients that are good for us?
But HL actually very sweet leh.. i was comparing the chocolate milk between daisy and HL...
Daisy has more nutrients compared to HL... and is cheaper by 20cents... at Giant..
Hahaha.. nowadays I'll compare between the brands to see which is better.. hahaha...
I found out that for breads.. if anyone likes raisin bread.. dun buy bonjour.. though they smell the nicest...its the least nutritional..
Bonjour> Gardenia > Sunshine (the most nutritional!!)
For multigrains,
Bonjour> Sunshine> Gardenia (most nutritional!!)
hehehe...
Yup.. pineapple inside P.T are cooked... so can eat... actually the books i read did mention pineapples are fine..
But i think as Chinese... we've been told not to.. so just avoid the raw pineapple...
cooked ones are already not as.... li hai liao....
hahhaa... so.. pineapple tarts are okay.. but dun eat bottles of it la...
a few is okay.. but still subjected to ur own condition.. if u are already spotting and all that.. just skip it loh..
eat more bak kwa to compensate for it la.. hehehe....
But those who are healthy. i think its fine..
Kat Goh hahaa. okie.. i tot u are someone i know.. hehe.. both husband and wife are teachers.. hehe..
yah.. i try to minimise chilli..coz it will cause constipation..and heard from my fren.. baby skin wont be so nice if we take too much spicy food also..
babiesmeme> yah.. i try to take a little lesser.. coz i normally eat very spicy.. hahaha....
Please.. NO RAW FISH!! you can take the vege, crackers.. everything.. but except the fish...
I just had my 1st Yu Sheng last nite.. sooooo horrible loh... i gotta pick out all the fish and throw back into the main plate..
eat only the vege and crackers... but the taste is nice man...sweet & sour.. very appetising for us.. hahahha.. ;P
I tot normally already everyday should do big business de??? thats very normal ah.. u mean u dun do that before u were pregnant...?
then u were having constipation liaoz...
I feel that i'm less constipated after preggy.. i go toilet more often.. i mean big biz.. heheh...
toss and turn at night... but i dun wake up coz i'm hungry.. or maybe i forgot how it feels like to be hungry liaoz.. hahahah...
i wake up at 10plus 11am.. so its not very early.. hehe..
caspinall> haha.. yah.. i'm usually a bigger size person.. and hence... before i knew i was preggy.. i was wondering why i was literally putting on weight and feeling soooo fat..
but after i realised i was preggy.. i think i dropped a kg.. hehee... it was much better knowing that i'm having a little one inside me..than to feel that i'm fat...
My tummy is literally one round around my waist liaoz..and its not soft soft kind...
if i sit cross legged... you can see a swimming hoop ard my tummmy lo..
Soooo round and hard.. hahahhaa....
most of my frens ard already know.. so i just feel at ease wearing those empire cut dresses... those thats quite in now...
V-neck..and stretchable kind... it'll show my lump protuding out.. those who dunno will think its big fat tummy la...
but those who know will know.. hehehe....
Yah.. i already cant fit into my old jeans, pants, etc.. and since we outgrow them more easily... i've decided to just go with dresses for the next 8 months..
ehhehe.. easier to go toilet also... haha...
i am urs> what u mean by pillow supporting tummy?? u put a pillow under ur side??
I also very uncomfortable sleeping.. keep tossing..and tossing..and just feel so uncomfy inside the tummy....
I'm 7 weeks now too.. hehe....
I had backache when i was abt 4-5 weeks already.. now also neck ache ah... hahhaa..
yeah.. i burp all the time..and it feels shiok after burping out...
Mmm.. i dun really feel tight at chest area.....
but every now and then.. will feel nauseaous.... try some preserved fruit loh.. but not too much la...
but it does help... heheheh....
And i think when i get hungry i feel nauseaous... so i'm trying to eat a little before i feel nauseaous.. hehe...
Joanne> if u have already eaten it,, its okay.. just avoid from now on...
alot of things.. is better to avoid.. but even if u had taken..there's little risk involved...
Now that u know.. dun take loh.. coz all these seafood.. we also dunno what they eat in the sea...
but since certain seafood has a higher chance of containing more toxins.. we just avoid....
so no OTAH definitely.. heheh..
new MTB> wah.. u are a new mtb but u know alot too.. i didnt know pineapples are high in vit A.. ok..
now i know better..
mickey> that sounds good... but we are all still early... we'll prob look into engagin one towards our 3rd trimester..
but thanks for the recommendation... u used her before???
LawShe> how old are u??? hehe.. maybe we can add in our age to the details that jenifur is doing.. hehehe...

CNY> Happy & Prosperous Moomoo year to all!!!
We'll be having a moo moo child this year.. heehehe..
ooh.. come to think of it...i've a fren.. she has 5 kids too... haha..she's 27 this year as well..
#1: daughter
#2&3: twin daughters
#4&5: twin sons
hahaha.... now i'm really amazed... heheh....
I didnt know that those in the market are not calcium fortified? but i thought natural soy already have some nutrients that are good for us?
But HL actually very sweet leh.. i was comparing the chocolate milk between daisy and HL...
Daisy has more nutrients compared to HL... and is cheaper by 20cents... at Giant..
Hahaha.. nowadays I'll compare between the brands to see which is better.. hahaha...
I found out that for breads.. if anyone likes raisin bread.. dun buy bonjour.. though they smell the nicest...its the least nutritional..
Bonjour> Gardenia > Sunshine (the most nutritional!!)
For multigrains,
Bonjour> Sunshine> Gardenia (most nutritional!!)
hehehe...
Yup.. pineapple inside P.T are cooked... so can eat... actually the books i read did mention pineapples are fine..
But i think as Chinese... we've been told not to.. so just avoid the raw pineapple...
cooked ones are already not as.... li hai liao....
hahhaa... so.. pineapple tarts are okay.. but dun eat bottles of it la...
a few is okay.. but still subjected to ur own condition.. if u are already spotting and all that.. just skip it loh..
eat more bak kwa to compensate for it la.. hehehe....
But those who are healthy. i think its fine..
Kat Goh hahaa. okie.. i tot u are someone i know.. hehe.. both husband and wife are teachers.. hehe..
yah.. i try to minimise chilli..coz it will cause constipation..and heard from my fren.. baby skin wont be so nice if we take too much spicy food also..
babiesmeme> yah.. i try to take a little lesser.. coz i normally eat very spicy.. hahaha....
Please.. NO RAW FISH!! you can take the vege, crackers.. everything.. but except the fish...

Vicky... if u really need to travel, must inform your gynae. last time i travelled to Europe when 2 months pregnant (coz i booked long before, only know abt pregnancy 2 weeks before departure, must go else waste $$), my gynae gave me some medicine.
Happy "niu" year to all mummies!
Happy "niu" year to all mummies!
babiesmeme/mama to 5Js, my Gynae say i am in wk 9 as of my last mense date, and i was "huh".. (eyes open big big and looking at him) always thought i was only wk 7, cos when I first visited him, he was saying my bb too small.
babiesmeme, i am always hungry too. eat very little but get hungry every 3 to 4 hours. already feeling shy looking/asking for food. doing "big biz" regularly is good actually (personal opinion), at least whatever that is not gd are removed and u will feel lighter and more at ease. my biz have been irregular since i found out abt my pregnancy, thus always feel very heavy.
Rach, i am turning 26 in few months time. and yes, i am more pregnant then i think i am. kekekeke... but with my EDD shifted forward, i guess i have to break the news of my pregnancy to my family, frenz and bosses after my 1st trimester. must prepared them mentally, cos hubby and i have been keeping this secret till things are more stable.
btw mummies, 2 quicky questions here...
(1) maternity undergarment
i feel my breast getting slightly tender and "bigger" on some days and wearing my normal bra is so uncomfortable when the underwire start resting on my skin, any mummies have similar encounters. what are your thoughts of maternity undergarment for this period onwards till full term?
(2) maternity wear
i guess i have to start looking at maternity working attire and even some casual outfit, if you do have any website/stalls to recommend, this forward the details to me. went to Spring last evening and bought a working pant and that alone cost me $70+, i cant imagine if i have gotten afew more pcs, then the bill will be a scary one.

Hi tiffy, i was reading back on the post and saw urs. ur gynae is quite precise to give u the
5-no-nos. i was checking with my gynae yesterday on what to avoid and he was quite "cute" to tell me is common sense, hubby almost laugh out loud on that no-where ans.
anyway, based on the 5 no-nos that your gynae indicated, i guess i have big big problem complying to them;
1) NO carrying of heavy things - i am doing laundry still and hanging the clothes out, carrying wash clothings = heavy things mah?
2) NO coffee & Tea (preferably no caffeine) - so far taken coffee once only, trying to control my urge, but i am a super fan of coffee bean, feel so miserable each time i walk pass but cant pamper me with a yummy coffee treat, but for bb's sake, i will endure.
3) NO long duration of walking, if wanna
shop...gotta take a break & sit down say every
45mins - my work requires me to go for site inspection and that will take almost 2 to 3 hrs of intensive walking plus climbing stairs each time of almost once or twice a wk, how am i gonna avoid this??
4) NO squatting down for like washing clothes or
scrubbing floor said that it puts alot of
pressure at the BB. - i am still bathing my dog, tried sitting down on a stool to shower him but din turn out well, squatting still works better for me, but i think as times goes by and my tummy get bigger, i gonna get hubby to take over the chore.
5) No Sex for the time being till BB stable..
*sob* - feel so bad, i am somewhat neglecting my hubby

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying their reunion dinners with their loved ones and no one has morning sickness with all the delicious food around! I've been following this thread for a while, only now just popping in to say "HI". I tested positive a few weeks back, but am only going to see my gynae on 10 Feb. (10 weeks I think???) This is my #2. #1 is now 28 months old and turning my house upside down as we speak.
Hi <font color="ff0000">Mama to 5Js</font>!!!!! What a coincidence! HEE HEE HEE! Am I glad to see a familiar face here or what! Maybe after giving birth, we'll go on another doughnut spree??? HEE!
Hi <font color="ff0000">Law She</font>, I like your questions... they're about SHOPPING!!! Okay, here's my 2 cents' worth, but of course I don't speak for everyone. With my 1st pregnancy, I outgrew my old bras pretty quickly and just went straight ahead to buy and wear nursing bras! If you're planning to breastfeed, maybe you can do that too. Then you save $$ on maternity bras which you can't really use if you breastfeed. Are you planning to breastfeed? If you're not planning to breastfeed, then go ahead and get those maternity bras.
About maternity clothes, well, sadly, the ones in SG are really expensive. I tried to save $$ by buying sale items only. (bought a stretchy dress from Swell at Paragon for only $15 before!) You can also consider joining those overseas Old Navy or Gap sprees. Again, buy the items on sale. It's the post-Christmas sale now I think so you might find something. A tip though - sometimes the quality of the Old Navy clothes is a bit suspect. Another good thing is, loose, empire cut, baby doll tops are really in fashion now. You can get pretty decent stuff at non-maternity shops, at okay prices.
Sorry! Shopping makes me very talkative!
Just a question to all --> Did your gynae or GP give you anti-nausea pills to curb the morning sickness? I haven't been able to get any so have had to rely on the acupressure sea bands which aren't that great, but well... what to do? They do help to 'dull' the queasiness a little.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Next year, you can all collect ang pows liao!

joon, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. i am considering breastfeeding but gonna be persistent with the idea too cos i need to make arrangement for bb care once i need to return to work. not too sure if i need those nursing bras now but might go ahead to get it few months down the road, feeling breathless and chestpain everytime i feel uncomfortable in normal bra.
mama to 5Js, as for now, i guess i might be the earliest to give birth. exact details will need to wait till the scan and all closer to the EDD
cincin, thanks for sharing, just came across this website this afternoon while serving, not too bad though.

<blockquote>I haven't seen a gynae yet but had been experiencing MS in the late afternoons, between 4-6pm. I realised that if I try to rest/sleep during that time, I'll feel better. Of course, that doesn't work all the time. Sometimes, cannot afford the time to just rest/laze around. So no choice, puke lor.
But it's ok lah. I always feel better after puking.</blockquote>
