Wah.. seems like mummies now getting to know the gender of their babies liao. Hope to know my BB gender on the next appt so that can start sourcing things for BB.
babycoco: Ya lo.. very anxious and looking forward to the next scan.. mine is on 30th Jan. Hopefully by then can see BB gender.
xbeanniex: I bought it from the Singapore Motherhood forum: Bulk Purchase section. The links are as follows:

Ann, before conceiving, I have been going to this TCM physician who specialises in fertility for accupuncture. When I found myself pregnant, I went to him for pulse taking and he had also prescribed me chinese medicines to stabilise the pregnancy. It seemed to be very effective because my bb's heartbeat was seen even before hitting 6 weeks. This TCM is located in Clementi and the no. is 68723237. The clinic is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.

RE: Bra Extension

babycoco: Yup! I can’t wait to start feeling the bb kicks so at least I know it is safe…
So far I did not have the chance to hear my bb’s heartbeat yet, very sad about it. I asked the doc and she said that it is very difficult to hear etc but I think she is just lazy to do it for me…
I will be changing my gynae after my detailed scan next month.

sweetkiss : I was freak out on last monday by my GP and i got to rush over to see my gynea on the last min. and she assured me of bb's safety by letting me hear bb's heartbeat n dont know what she did (think she push my womb abit hard as i can feel the force n abit pain too) n she actually got bb to 'jump' to show me bb is actually moving at the same time...
then i was able to relax knowing bb was fine.
(when the moment i get to see my gynea, i haven talk only, my tears want to roll down, worrying bb's alive or not)

phy: Yup, think I will change to private gynae soon. Previously I went to polyclinic to confirm my pregnancy and was referred to KKH. So all along I have been there as subsidized patient as they fixed appt for me up till Feb. I thought of going to all the appts before changing gynae.
xbeanniex: We shld teach ourselves not to worry too much! Not good for bb also… Don’t worry, all our babies will be safe and healthy!
babycoco: My doc never try at all… But I think it’s enough assurance when I can still see bb moving and heartbeat flickering during the scan. But don’t know why all the docs I see like to frown when they do the scanning, when I see their expression I also scared!

Ladies, same here. My gynae appointments are always 3 weeks away and during the 3 waiting weeks, I can't help but worry sometimes - how I wish portable ultrascan machines are available for sale. But what I normally do since the beginning of my pregnancy is that I'll take my temperature 1st thing in the morning when I wake up. If temperature is high, I'll be more relieved beacuse it signifies that the pregnancy is doing well.

Sun_tan,
For my 1st trimester, mine was mostly above 37 degrees. When I reached 2nd trimester, It became 36.8 - 36.9 degree celsius. I suppose as long as temperature is higher than 36.7 degrees when you just wake up it should be considered high enough.

phy : I did see that before. Forgotten which website le. I go find for you. But it is something like tube kind lei.. is that what you looking for?
Sweetkiss: From what you say, your gynae real lazy lei. Everytime I went, everytime my gynae also show me the heartbeat to assure me. And my gynae dun frown when he do the scan.. he will smile and when he listen to heartbeat.. he will even comment good and put his thumb up. This is sort of like an assurance to me that baby is growing just fine. Think you should change to another gynae soon before you worry unneccesarily.

congrats Phy and Crystal! Crystal, can see the baby girl so soon?? Thats great!
Sweetkiss: Heartbeat should be heard at every scan. Infact my gynae let me hear the heartbeat first to reassure me as sometimes the baby can be sleeping. So far, my gynae always smile and he's always v v enthusiastic when he scans. He's like a father figure so I really feel comfy with him. If you are not comfy with KKH arrangement, please change one that you like. You probably can sign a plan/package soon by the 18-20th week.
Ling (wateraine): my gynae told me I do not have to take the milk as the calcium pills etc are enough. In fact, he's worried i may put on too much weight if i take the milk. Anyway I have no intention of taking for the 2nd baby as I did not take for the first one too and he turns out fine. Also I am lactose intolerant so can't stand milk.
actually its normal to worry if baby is fine esp within tat 3-4 weeks waiting period but a few week/mth later we will be getting kicks from them! That would be the best assurance. heheh can't wait!

Ling, my gynae also told me not to drink milk and gave me calcium pills too. Reason because for ppl of chinese origin, there's a high percentage of us becoming lactose intolerant and will make the MS worse. I am not lactose intolerant but became intolerant recently due to pregnancy...yeah...i went against my gynae advice and tried milk once....had very very bad diarrhea coz my body just cannot take lactose now...so looks like 3 different gynaes (yours, minibean's and mine) gave the same advice...
sweetkiss : my gynea nvr shows me any sign of neg. look or words. she is very encouraging and give me advice of what to do n what not to do. And she also clear my doubts n worries for my bb. Her assurance of bb was not by words, is by action... showing me bb's heartbeat n movement.
If really need to change ... mummies here are seeing quite a handful of nice gyneas...

Minibean, vernie, I think the doc dun want me to gain weight. Actually, i was underweight before i become preggie. And i actually lost a little weight after the 1st month though i have been eating.
Is it normal to be hungry after every few hours? Had hunger pangs every few hours and it even kept me awake at night. Ate biscuits and bread until I become too heaty.
Had constipation and had to rely on Senna medicine to help.
Can drink fybogel?

minibean,
yup. i m equally surprise too cos for my #1 i didnt get to know gender till abt 6-7mths & even then it wasnt a 100% certainity cos she keeps hiding her gender. so for #2 to know at 3rd mth, i m amazed.

Did my check up yesterday. Just hit 12 weeks and BB is at 5.6cm.
Opt out of the down syndrome tests.. I was expecting some coercing from Dr Fong to go for it, but surprisingly, there was none. He jus accepted the decision.
I also have iron, calcium & fish oil from gynae. cannot take milk with iron two hours before n after. Wondering if can take cheese or not. Anyone know??

Jo-lyn, i have gynae appt on jan 28th, if all ok, will start after that. but i'm dying to do yoga right now. i used to do yoga once a week (even during the 1st 10 weeks of my pregnancy cos didn't know i was pregnant). suddenly no yoga, my whole body aching. i know holland village also got prenatal yoga. is that too far for you?
sweetkiss:
u now still under subsidy patient?
Well, since it under subsidy, the gynae seeing u will be different everytime u went.
I remember for my 1st child, under subsidy also, if there is no scanning, i get to hear bb heartbeat.but when we can feel the bb kicking, there is less.
There was once, don know what happen, i felt chestpain, n I was admit to hospital. They strap me to CTG, but that I was 23 to 24 wks, so they want to monitor bb heartbeat, but then bb was too small to stay in one postiton, they had a hard time, trying to detect the bb heartbeat.
Of cos, since we r under subsidy, we can't compare to those fix gynae, since they paid a bit higher fee. I remember my friend told me, she went to TMC, had a fix gynae, she paying abt $48.00 per check up, (exclude taking any vit), where else I'm paying for $30 just for the routine check up.

hi mommies. just came back fm gynae. i have polyps... and spent $700 removing it including an autosy on the polyps... silly, so expensive to have my #2... spent so much moola... but thank God bb okie...
Jasmine: Yup I am still under subsidy… That’s why quite frustrated cos scanning and consultation is done by 2 different persons each time.
On my last checkup, I went for consultation after my scan and the doc was like “oh, so you had done your scan just now right? I guess I don’t need to make you lie on the bed and check your tummy”
KKH already made my appt till Feb for detailed scan, so I thought I’ll finish going for all the appts before I change to private since I can take package also.
