Sharon> Think NT scan is to measure bb from head to toes and to see the fluid under the skin at the back of a bb's neck. NT scan is to see whether bb is likely to have DS a not only. But with oscar test it will give a more accurate result. Correct me if i'm wrong ya..heehee
Gd that you gers still can take in water.. Though i do get thirsty, prob becos of the freq puking.. But i totally dread taking in plain water.. I only feel like having sweet drinks and etc.. Hw sinful! Sobz Sobz..

> Yep Oscar is for down syn, NT scan is to measure the baby's neck thickness.. This can also deduct whether the baby will have down syn.. Am i right?

from what i know, the machine that doing the NT scan is called OSCAR. that's why they called it OSCAR test.

OSCAR test = NT scan + blood test. If u want to do only the NT scan, the % of accuracy is about 70%. If you do the blood test at the same time, % of accuracy goes up to 90%.
Hi Juv06
OSCAR = blood test + NT Scan
Best results are from both tests... 90% accuracy!
"The NT scan alone probably picks up about 75 to 82 per cent of babies with Down's syndrome, and the blood test alone, about 60 to 70 per cent. If you put the two tests together, the detection rate is usually in the range of 90 to 93 per cent with about a 3 to 5 per cent false positive rate."

Jolyn, these 2 tests are optional... I think u also got it confused. Read the link I sent. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Sharon, ya.. urinating frequently during 1st trim & 3rd trim is normal.. the reason for 1st is due to hormones.

Sharon> thk 1st trim urine more, something to do with the location of the uterus/bb...2nd trim it move up so its not press against the bladder, then 3rd trim it move down again because the bb head turn down ready for birth i thk..

Hi, just checking if any of you do exercise during your 1st trimester? I used to be quite active and jog about 2-3 times a week but have totally laid off since pregnancy. Am told 2nd trimester is a safer time to exercise. Also, been feeling lethargic and 'heavy' so not much mood to exercise too.
JanO, i so shack until no energy liao don even tik of exercising, i only tried to walk more during lunch time as form of exercise.
Sharon - tik normal to drink water and urine more often. At nite i can urine like 3x and each time is alot, wonder if i ever drank as much as i urine

JanO: The gynae did say can walk /swim but no running. I guess 1st trimester baby is not so stable in the womb yet so its more risky. I haven't been excercising too as I've been sick for the past 3 weeks. I think because of a combination of not excercising and being pregant, my body is expanding at an exponential rate... sigh -_-

re: NT scan
if im also not wrong, i understand from gynae is NT scan is measure bb neckfold/neck thickness and nose bridge..if too flat then maybe got DS, as DS ppl have a flatter nose bridge.
juv06: i think u should be able to choose not to do the full OSCAR test and just choose NT scan.

Lovebyte: me also been putting on weight - heard of some MTB losing weight in 1st trimester due to nausea but its not happening to me. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
I do feel nausea but not to the extent of puking (thank goodness). But been needing to snack in between meals to quell the "siap siap" feeling in the mouth.
Heard that those who are smaller frame tend to put on more weight throughout the entire pregnancy - anyone know if that's true?

JanO: I'm not so sure about smaller frame putting on more weight during pregnancy. For me I'm definately not small frame to start with. I'm and L or XL man... now going to be XXL or XXXL. *Faint*
Bam: Look forward to the weekend ok! Pop in here once a while for a break. We are here to pei you!
Hho: I agree that exercising will built the body up. This way the muscles all won't nua nua. Delivery will be better cos we'll have more strength and recovery from delivery will also be faster i think.

cutiebb,
my son is very happy to have a baby in the house. He loves babies. He tells his teachers in school that " my mummy is having a baby". So cute. He was there when i went for my scans n he was excited when he saw the baby. Doc gave him 1 print to keep, he sticked it on his bedroom wall. I also showed him his previous prints when he was in my tummy n explained to him the whole pregnancy process. he seems to understand.

Made myself french toast.. enjoying it.. Hopefully, can sleep better after eating it.
Been having better appedite today, don't know is it because next week is going to be Week12, so body start to feel better? Not so tired too, maybe 'cos I have been sleeping in for the past 2weeks? Hopefully, next week when back to work, will have energy..

cutiebb,
he's 2.5 yrs old. i read from one of the parenting books that children below 3 can remember their birth process. dunno if its true. i always ask him if he remembers how he came out from my tummy, he said he push...together with hand movements, then come out. Ha!
