saffy,
so sorry to hear abt ur son. it must have been quite a scare ya. hope all is well now.
cheekrene,
in some instances, bloody stools can be caused by piles or bad constipation. nevertheless, if u r concerned, its best to always chk with ur gynae k. take care!
i had my 20wks scan yesterday. before the scan, i was telling bb to be co-operative so that i need not have to do a re-scan like the oscar's. i also prayed that i would encountered a nice & patient sonographer. well, it appeared my wishes came true. my appt was at 11am, we arrived a little before 11 and my scan was done by noon. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] my sonographer was really nice & reassuring too. each time, she will say "i need to press harder ok"
so far, i think my scan went well but i have a few concerns. 1stly, we saw the lips. i think the image is quite blurry. i asked if bb has any cleft lips, the sonographer said no gross defects seen but if its those 1 line type, it cant be seen from the scan?! i thought usually the scan would be able to tell if bb has cleft lips or not??
2ndly, i see that my bb's humerus bone length is slightly longer that the femur bone's. i thought usually the femur bone will be longer than the humerus??
3rdly, the sonographer mentioned that my bb's weight is 330+g, i'm quite shocked becos 10days ago, the FW is 318g so that means bb only put on like 10-20g??!! previously bb gained 102g in 1wk leh so not sure why bb is not eating now?

anyway, according to the sonographer, everything looks normal. i did not have the actual report cos it will be depatched to my gynae's clinic.
1 gd news though, the sonographer has managed to cfm the sex of my bb - its a girl! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] (well, no big surprise since woody did say it looks like a girl 3 times but he couldnt cfm each time lor).
we will name her Evangeline. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
