Tigerbaby>> Yes.. I just went to do the 3D scan in KKH on Monday early morning.
I asked the gynae abt the scan during my last visit 3 wks ago.. he arranged for me to do at ADC, at the same time do growth scan too.. Not sure if you can just call up and book the slot on your own…
Usually they do the 3D/4D scan on 26-28 wks.. if u do it too late like 30wks or so, there is not enough water in the belly and u would not get a good image of the bb..
But it was not successful, cos baby was too sound asleep, she kept hiding the face and slept facing inside, looking down.. Despite having a hearty breakfast, pacing up and down the hospital umpteen, still did not help.. after 3 tries, I got so tired, give up la….only managed to do the growth scan…decided to go back to do it on Wednesday morning.. This time bb more co-operative, face looking up. Abit grumpy looking cos we kept poking and disturb her sleep but we could see most of the faces.. placenta is abit blocking some parts of the face but fun to see how she snuggle nicely in my lil “water cave” .. She even yawned a few time, playing with the fingers..
Not cheap for this 3D scan, it cost me $250 (excl. GST), they take abt 5-6 images and will store the coloured images in a CD + the black and white printout.. but the sonographer was nice enough to help me take abt 14 images.. of cos 1-2 of them not so clear in terms of the features.. but my hubby was quite estatic abt the whole process.. having to see the bb before its born.. heeheee.. and I heard the 3D images is at least 80% accuracy to the bb features once they are born..
Re: TPS Fast Scheme
The $100 voucher they will only give after U give birth, for you to buy the bb items at the pharmacy.. I dun noe if u can use it at any of the retail shops in KKH..
Re: Weight Gain.
I put on abt 8kg so far and bb is abt 1.2kg.. considered a regular size bb.. guess I already put on weight before the pregnancy, that y throughout the months I did not gain so fast…but bb head has not turned yet.. and I’m very worried cos the doc say if the bb don’t turn down in the next 2-3 wks.. I would have to schedule for C-scan.. I very sad now.. my friends told me to talk to bb now and then.. ask her to move down..
Re: Gynae visit
I also ask Gynae when I should come for the 2 wks intervals.. He says so long u don’t have any complication or special conditions like gestation diabetes and also if ur bb is average size (not overweight/growing too big), I can still stick to a 3wks routine.. some pple will start the 2 wks interval at 30 wk.. then abt 35-6 wks everywk liao. My next visit is on my 31 wks.
Re: Lemongrass shower gel
Hi anyone bought the lemongrass shower gel & ginger cream? How was it? Very tempted to get now and use it to get rid of the wind and all.. I wonder if it get rids of water retention and leg cramps?
Re: Leg Cramps
Thanks SueLynn for ur tips.. I also try not to stretch my legs pointing outwards cos it does trigger the cramps.. I also learn @ the pilate classes that we can
- do the “paddle” exercise, like 1 foot point out, 1 foot point towards you, and do it simultaneously like paddling for abt 20x.
- Squeeze the toes hard and release extending the toes exercise, abt 5-10x
- Toes pointing: Point the toes together and point out, abt 5-10x
I would also get a hot towel wrap my foot and calves for 5 mins or so, then massage some heat rub on the calves in case at night the cramps strikes u..
Try not to drink the coconut juice now if ur cramps are frequent.. I have started drink 1x a week since last 2 wks, and the cramps appear…. usually strike me like 4-5am at night and it would sore like 2 days or so..
