i am urs,
how bad is ur bleeding? i tried going out for dinner yesterday...didn't really walk, sat in the car but still feel a bit of cramp...very worried will still bleed....sigh
 


bryest...
coz by lmp, i sld b 7 weeks... but i did a v scan on wed, cant see baby or heartbeat... so my gynae conclude either v early preggy, or stopped preggy... juz ask me to take bld test...
todae i came in, with fresh bleeding... my new gynae suggest i stay in and b under observation...

bryest, what's wrong with ur baby?? how many weeks??
 
i am urs,
based on my 1st day of last menstrual, should be about 5 week 5 days. Had fresh blood with my discharge on 2nd day of cny, went to see my gynae on emergency. Was given a jab and on pills now. Had to bed rest for 7 days. Next tues go back see gynae for another jab. Did a V scan when i see gynae on tues, but gynae say too early to see whether baby normal. Very worried.
 
i m going 25...
no worries, stay happy, and the baby will b fine... my hubby start talking to my tummy le... haha... well he alwaz say, baby will know that mummy n daddy loves him/her... and baby will grow well...
i ve been crying for the past 2 days ever since i c my gynae... todae feeling abt better at least i know hcg went up... but still need to wait for gynae's response tml...
 
gal no worries, i was abt 5 weeks ++ when i did my 1st scan... cant see anything, only the baby's water bag...
happy.gif
 
haiz... ever since i knew i was preggy...
i went into 24 hr clinic 2x... seen pvt gynae 1x, seen kkh senior consultant 2x... haiz... that is juz within 2-3 weeks...
but wat ever it is... its all worth it for the baby...
 
wat happened? why did u need to see so many docs? i also had to stay at hm cos of baby....office got tons of work to do...sigh
 
i was tested preggy by my co doc...
went to pvt gynae for to confirm, but not comfy with pvt gynae, change to kkh...
went into kkh 24hr clinic, 1st was for gastric and diaherria, referred by my co doc when she found out i was preggy, 2nd time was coz of spotting...
1st time kkh senior consultant was follow up, then he suggested i take bld test... todae 2nd time kkh senior consultant, coz of bleeding...
this is my first pregnancy...
i m so problematic... haiz...
ur's baby no??
 
gynae said 8 weeks leh, but according to my calculation, shd not be so "old" liao.

i m urs... how are u feeling now? eaten dinner already?
 
hi i m urs,
Oh.. Glad to know that ur spotting had stop.. Thats gd sigh..U say ur doctor mention if up by only 60percent in 2 days time for hcg level means normal huh.? Why my doctor say shd double up in 2days? Make me so worried.. So who is correct? Sign..
 
I_am_urs, rem not to move around too much and rest as much as possible... i am sure ur bb knows that u r working hard to bring him/her into the world and there are many aunties here supporting his/her mummy. jia u.....

and like what the mummies say, chatting here can make u relax and also a sense of mental support (hopefully) for you to share your hapiness and worries...

btw, when u discharge and things stablise, rem to take abit of tonic to nurse your health for the rest of the months ahead.

aiyo, i talk like an old auntie... horrible...

i_am_urs: dun worry! jiayou! me n hubby tok to baby too.. alt we dun q tink he/she understands yet.. =)
 
hi mama to 5js,
I very worry abt stiches as one of my collegue who do c section, her gynea actually use stapler to stapler her womb instead of sewing. And need to go back to remove stapler, hv to go thru one more pain.. Aso her stapler got rusty.. Result in infection.. Yucks, can u imagine that.. Luckily mine that time use sew which melt itself, nö need 拆线。so of course worry abt stiches.
Hi cho,
Yes,need to use stretchmark cream fr 3rd mth else will hv lots of stretch mark after give birth. Very ugly one though we wear clothes.. But cant wear bikini.. Hee.. I dont anyhow get any cream,mine is fr paris, quite ex. Cost $40plus for one. But i know is gd as really no mark after my son born.
happy.gif
so is save to use k..
 
new MTB> haha.. yah... coz adult blood contains dunno what H1Bxxxx dunno what...
but new born babies dont...their blood contains something else... but the moment they enter the world.. their kidneys need to process their own blood from then on..
and somethings.. due to the major blood that needs to be converted..the kidneys cant handle or soemthing like that...
hence something excess is excreted... then will produce the yellow color jaundice de... hehehe.. :p

Jul> haha.. yah loh.. i think its more impt that we are feeling better... i read in What to Expect when you are expecting.. during times when we need to measure which is necessary...
we think in terms of.. if i eat this medicine and it'll make me better compared to the harm it'll cause to the bb.. which is more serious??

then from there. we decide if its better we take it or not take it... or if there's another safer alternative to deal with it....
if we vomit too much.. get dehydration or maltrition.. i think its more detrimental to the embryo loh..
hee.. so if we can retain more food in our body better la.. haha... unless the food are harmful to our bodies la...

Hahaha... well... if i can be the one to suggest the outing.. i would have been prepared to plan and organise rite???
hahaha... so far i'm always the one to organise for my Brides Gathering... my Bridal Studio also got gathering..and i did that too...
hahahaha..... not that diff la... anyway i have free sms... easy job.. just send.. just a matter of who wanna reply....

when its nearer to the date then get all ur contacts of those who'll be turning up for the gathering la... we can prob meeting central...
or depends where majority stay loh..
happy.gif

i also will talk to my BB la... hehee.. and we'll pray for bb also.. every nite before we sleep...
Thank God so far everything is still fine... i just dun like the nausea.. making me sooo... vulnerable.. dun feel like gg anywhere at all.. yucks...

Kat> yeah... u can check with ur gynae how much they actually charge for the folic acid.. i believe will be more exp de...
i was like.. wow!! $2.75 for 50 tablets is sooo cheap loh...

Oh.. i think during confinement coz ginger is heaty.. if eat too much during confinement.. then ur BM will be heaty also....
I heard my fren mentioned.. when she BF-ing... she ate chocolates... then after her daughter drank her milk.. her daughter constipation...
so i guess.. there's some link la.. heheh...

waiwai> hahaha.. yah... when my HB told my gynae during my 1st visit that i have backaches..my gynae also said.. dun worry.. more to come...
hahahaha... he sounded so aloof... that.. we were like.. ookkk.. we too xiao ti da zuo liao.. hahaha...

cho> why do u need to take rice/carbo every meal? no need la.. as per normal ok liao... as long as ur daily intake is sufficient.. dun have to take every meal de..

i_am_urs, we definitely hope to hear ur gd news in a wk time, be very positive.

mama to 5j, you are really a super woman, i must say taking care of so many of the little ones arent easy but you are coping well. on a super long thought, yrs later when all of them've grown up, ur family will be super big and fun, ur kids and their other half.. woww...
 
Hi Joanne,
I went for my appt yesterday and yes detect the bb's heartbeat
happy.gif
so happy. I am now at week 6. Since we are roughly having the same symptoms (no morning sickness no vomiting), think I should update you. So rest assure you should be OK too. But now I think I am starting to have my morning sickness cos I wake up feeling like vomitting, giddiness. No craving for food, tasteless and very sensitive to all kind of smell, make me have no intention to take anything. No hunger too
 
Babylet,
I think the progestone pills make me heaty too. Think my body still trying to adjust to the high hormones level in our body. I feel so giddy, can we use medicated oil?
 
Ladies, did i saw some posts on gatherings after the 1st trimester??? do count me in too, it gonna be super fun mtg with so mani mummies..

Babiesmeme, i think medical oil is fine... my fren who is in wk14 was the one who recommended me to keep one with me.. it is super useful to me, whenever i feel dizzy, apply abit and i wil feel better alittle. hope it works for u too

Hi MTB,
i think I am in my 6th week according to my Dr.
But nothign can be seen yet, not even the sac. Was supposed to go back to see the Dr today but i am skipping ti cos i wan to find a new Dr.
This Dr that i seen last week is a little ex.
antenatal package at 800 includiong only the consultation, urine dipstix test, scan.
others not included. each unscheduled visit is $60.
Delivery fee is 1200, assisted delivery is 1500. C-sec is@$2200. I wonder if you gals can share w me ur antenatal package and delivery charges. this rate is only for the gynea. Hospital rates are separately counted by the MAH.
I am looking for a female gynea if possible.
Please help....
 
Sorry to interrupt mtbs/mummies..

i bought a obuba nursing wrap www.obuba.com
before CNY, but baby dont like to be covered when bf, thus decided to sell it. used only twice in the car...bought at $37 selling at $28 self collect at sembawang...if posting need to top up $2 wait for a week.

then also giving away my confinement warming shampoo and body wash that bought from littledreamers...used less than 5 times, still got alot. self collect at sembawang pls.

Please PM me if interested.
 
hi serene (moongirl80sg), i heard abt Dr Ann Tan fr Mt E.. not sure of her charges.. but so far mostly good reviews.. u can check out under "matters of the heart" =)

hmm.. u're in 6th week, cant see sac? did doc do a v-scan 4 u? i had a scan done in 4th wk.. via u/s cant see anything.. but using v-scan could see a waterbag..
 
Hi Cho,
The brand of my cream is Elancyl.. can buy at Guardian..cost around $47.. don't worry, this is safe... i try for my first kid before liao and my stomach no lines at all after birth...I thought mine is expensive, your friend's one more ex...
V-scan is usually done for 1st scan if you went too early.. if u go from 7-8wks onwards, no need to do V-scan liao.. shd be able to see from stomach scan...how many ww are you at now?
Hi Babiesame,
Glad to hear from you...Oh... i think we are suppose to be six week then as they say got to minus one week if count from your last menses date. and they say ms comes in around wk 6..so how big is your bb now? doctor told you is wk 6 and not wk 7 huh? May I know when is your last menses? mine is on 14th Dec...
so happy and congrat to you that you can hear bb heartbeat.. envious... did you manage to see ur baby? wooo... 3rd Feb... looking forward to it...
Hi Mama to 5Js,
I really "Pei fu" you... u got so many kids to look after and still chat with us?? Ya lor.. so now u know why I need to lookfor doctor who can do good stiches.. as very scary one... did u ever heard of Dr LC Foong? Not sure is he good.. as seldom see people write any review about him in this forum..
Hi I am urs,
Jia You!! I know is not easy... for me these few days like passby sooooo slow as I am also looking forward to my 1st scan on 3rd of feb... so I know is definitely not easy for you to wait 1 wk... just tell yourself to Jia You and don't think negative... k... take extra care...
 
hi Joanne (sadz), mine shld be 5th week or 6th i tink.. my LMP is on xmas eve 08.. keke.. so 1st week of 09 is my wk 1.. ez to count.. kekeke..

ya, i oso got s shock when i heard of my fren's cream! so exp!! my hubby's agst me applying it.. he feels somehow will affect e baby.. gosh.. i tink i better check with gynae.. kekek

i tink coz my womb is retroverted, so mayb hard to scan using u/s? hope next round scanning (9th week) can see heartbeat!!
 
Hi Cho,
My friend who didn't apply got mark everywhere on her stomach. my collegues thanks me for recommending them that cream... as after they give birth... stomach still very beautiful...baby is fine... so u can tell ur hubby that no need to worry.. baby will be fine..
 
tat's wat i told my hubby.. else got ugly marks on tummy n it's likely not to be reversible! haha..

how abt dying hair/ doing treatments? r they fine too?
 
Joanne, the way u describe the cream make me feel so eager to get them... shall check out guardian when i am out later
 
Hi all... i'm into my 7th week i think, not really spotting already... was still commenting to my hubby this morning that i do not have MS so not sure if bb is growing well... then the next mom during lunch, i started throwing out everything i ate earlier. And till now still can't eat... anyone got any solution or food suggestion so that at least i can keep some food inside?
 
hi lawshe,
Keke.. As they had change their packaging to green color, i cant find it that day,feel so sad cant find it as not all guardian hv. That day go compass point,saw the name very familar.. Then got it.. So happy.. Buy it though is early to apply it yet.. They got their distributor there.. So u may not find it at any guardian.. Hope u get to find it.
Hi cho,
Yes, u not able to recover back to ur beautiful skin if didnt apply. Tell ur hubby no worry. No, no gd to dye hair and treatment due to chemical use and the smell too.. Be an ugly woman 4 this 9mth 4 bb sake..no choice..

On stretchmark, there are diff versions of theory. Some people wun get it even without applying anything, some people use v expsv cream still get it. Some say depends whether your mum has it, you will inherit the same.

A little tip for you gals. During my first preg, I made my hubby apply the cream for me everynite since he is so sinang while I had to carry a heavy belly. After applying cream on belly, convenient massage my legs lah... ha ha... I told him if he refused to apply cream, he will have to bear the cost of stretchmark treatment after I gave birth. Also, tat was a gd chance for daddy to bond wif baby.
 

bryest, since u have seen WK Tan, how's the waiting time like ? Still v long? Did they tell u her package price ?

Yes, 10 Feb is my first appt since I tested +ve. I kinda wait for 3 wks to get to see her. Luckily I dun have any irregular symptoms, otherwise I would not have been able to wait for so long b4 seeing a gynea.
