Jolin, i m experiencing nausea and vomiting too, even though i m in between 12 - 13 weeks [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Travelling in MRT is still a torture to me. Down with cough and flu during the weekend, can't smell anything, feel so tired yet still have to come to work. The only thing i m looking forward is later this afternoon, i m going to see my gynae [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] i called just now, my OSCAR test result has reached the clinic (i did last Friday), fast huh?

If you are going to take FA scan at 20th week in TMC too, i suggest you sign as package. If you pay separately is more expensive. I think package is $418 for Oscar + FA scan, where separately is $318 + $148 (i think)
If you sign up FBI package, you get 10% discount further. We are going to sign that up because i have decided to keep the cordblood with cordlife, can use FBI to get $450 off the cordlife package.
Hope this is helpful for all mummies with TMC.

My Oscar at Radlink costs $350. The blood tests cost $74.50.
Morning Ladies,
Neo: You're also still vomit and nausea? Hope we'll get well soon ya. Agree, taking MRT is such a torture. Now i can't take any sour plum nor sweet and that makes the condition worse when travelling. I still daren't to go out except trip to gynae clinic. Has been mountain turtle since MS started.
For NT and Blood test, i also paid $410 and the test all done in my gynae clinic.

Hi Trinket,
I was down with cough and flu, went to see GP, he said preggies have more antibodies, therefore just let our body fight the illness, we will be ok but takes time since we cannot take strong medication. Take Vit C and drink lots of water and have a good rest [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi mummies, I also have not been feeling well thus I didn't really post much nowadays. Really no mood.
Judy, you should prepare plastic carriers in your bag. I have at least 5 of them inside. Becos like you, I hv a tendency to vomit esp. when I am travelling. Did you pay extra money to the cab driver? How are you feeling now?
Neon, I read this somewhere and would like to share with everyone. I know tht preggies tend to fall sick more easily but why, I dun know. So 1 day I google and I got this answer which is very new to me. Hehe .. shame on me. A mum of 2 kids
"Women who are pregnant tend to get more colds than their non-pregnant counterparts. This is mostly due to the fact that the immune system is slightly less effective during pregnancy. The body has to lower its defenses to make sure that the baby is not rejected, as the baby is considered a foreign object as part of it belongs to the father."
Jolin, try to bear for a while more. Though my ms is almost gone, I had not stopped vomiting during the evenings. So before dinner, must vomit before I can eat. If not, a waste of food.
Anyway, I hv something to share with you guys. I got a friend to check out any fairs in expo. There will be one in October. It's called New Mom. I am trying to check from the Expo website and realised that they dun post up certain events. Trying to get a confirmation with the Mgmnt there. So by October, I should be 6 mths pregnant so dun need to rush for the taka sale and slowly think what I really need.

Hi Val, I think they probably said 1 week to be on the "safe" side.. but you can always call them if you want to [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
think there is one webiste called www.tualobang.blogspot.com. it may hold information like expo or taka fairs. but its for all lobangs...
went to my appt yday. the OSCAR results were ok. but sadly, my gynae say no need to scan as i did the scan last thurs during oscar. my husband went down with me and he didnt see the scan on thurs, so was egarly waiting to go. imagine the disappointment when the gynae say no scanning today.
actually last night, me n hubby had a big fight. over silly things. i cried thruout the whole night and only slept at 430am. this morning went to work at 730am as usual. now feeling like zombie. this morning i was still crying. my eyes are in pain because of the tears and my eyelash extensions. suffering from headache now. i didnt take any breakfast this morning. and thru out the whole night, kept saying negative things like "i don't want the baby etc". sigh, i really hate emo outbursts like this.
i know its not good for the baby's health yet i cant control myself.
i hope the baby is not too affected.

@judy: ya you should put some plastic bag in your bag. I too bring out at least 2 plastic bags these days. So afraid that I cant control my puke too.
can try eating mint sweet to curb the nausea, that what I eat sometimes when I feel nausea. It does work sometimes.
I am going for my 2nd appointment tml so excited cant wait! Am 10 weeks now, hope my MS will improve.

faithnhope, first time daddy here but i do know basically there is only 2 insitute in Singapore that can allowed to store it. That is cordlife and stemcord. I know more about cordlife, the first year payment is $1,500, subsequently $267 every year for storage up to 21 years. I think one lump sum payment is $5,500+ for 21 years storage. Stemcord also charges $267 a year but not sure of the first year.
I am not aware of any discount for 2nd baby.

Hi ladies, I have been back towork since yest, was on mc last week coz of tummy ache. I still poo liquid but it's only once a day. Surf the net n found that diarrhea is quite common among expecting mums.
sigh, i juz went for my gynae appt, my hubby came w me cos he din go for the OSCAR test so also thinking that he can see the baby. My gynae was rushing to go for delivery, he did the scan but v lousy, cant even figure out where is the head or toes, and still charge $60 for the scan! Angry!
anyway, scan shows i m ard 13 wks, but the OSCAR test on last fri indicates i m 12 wks 1 d, wonder how accurate is his machine [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
on a brighter side, my bb's length is 6.9cm, is it a big baby? ;p

Hi all...
Hi Neongoby, thanks for the welcome wish.
I seldom get online coz super bz at work, and once work is over, dont feel like get online much these days..
Hi choc (tge25), thanks for updating my EDD in the table.
Nice to see so many names expecting in the mth of Feb 2011.
Just to add on, this is my 1st pregnancy & going to KKH for checks/delivery, since i can utillise my co's maternity benefits...
Had my OSCAR test in my 2nd gynae visit.
bb was twisting and moving around actively, even the sonographer commented that baby was very cooperative... *thumbs up to my lil one*
very happy to see the big progress from the 1st scan, and got even more happier got results showing low risk for downsynd.
Tummy already showing a bit now, and my colleagues are asking me questions in a weird way (dunno if its just my feeling), coz been MIA / MC lately,
as if hinting me to 'fess up. but i just say not feeling well, still dunno if i should announce to them or not... hehe!!

So you're in between. It's fine [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

hi our_first_baby,i used to take NeurogainS for my first one as my girl reject fish.
My gynea prefer letting the MTB absorb vit n minerals thru the natural way. I'm kind of supported the idea but I'll start taking if my bb insisted of rejecting the healthy food ">

Hi all.
Sorry to intrude on your thread.
I would like to recommend my confinement lady to those who need one.
She is really very good. I am currently engaging her for the 2nd month cos my BB is quite abit to handle.
She is very patient with BB and can see that she loves BB alot. She took really good care of my whole family (including my 2 dogs).
When I brought my BB back for review with my PD, even my PD complimented to me that I got myself a good confinement lady cos she is very knowledgeable and ask me to learn more from my confinement lady.
If anyone is interested to engage her, you can PM me or email me at [email protected] for her contact number.
