Dear Ladies,
I'm 6 weeks preggy, just went for my 1st scan this morning. Can only see a sac, about 1.9cm. Doc said it's still too early to see heartbeat. I saw some websites say can detect heartbeat in week 6...? Anyway, going back in 2 weeks time. Btw I have been having light brown discharge, doc said it's fine, just slight infection only.

Btw after u gave birth the chances of strikin is v high hor even breastfeeding can strike as long as ur body start producin egg so better play safe if u dun 1 BB so fast

hi girls,
I just came back from my appointment too... gynae said it was still very early for me (5 weeks plus) as well...can see the yolk sac but cant hear the heartbeat yet...my measurement is 11.1mm ... hah.
She also did a pap smear+vaginal scan which I was not very comfortable with, so I'm likely to change gynae...

PS: Is it common to do the pap smear+ vaginal scan at ur first visit? I've never done any before in my life and it was quite terrible.

ya..so wierd to do pap smear now. for vaginal scans, my gynae explained tat bb might b too small to b detected by e usual tummy scan...so need to do by tat method.
Nail polish...don't see any harm..was still putting it on while i could still reach my toes during my 1st pregnancy...hahah. But need to check contents for nothin too harmful.

Looks like its not common to do the pap smear.... and I've read that some women have experienced miscarriages after doing it... Looks like I'm definitely changing gynae then...

Ting ting,
Personally I think it's ok as long as u apply it in a well ventilated place so u don't inhale the chemical fumes.. But I've been advised against it by others so it's up to u I think. Do what u're comfortable with

Hi mummies,
I went for my check up today and yes I'm pregnant. I'm in my 6 weeks 14.4mm but still no heartbeat. Any mummies here wi TPS at KKH?
Piggytoh,
Thanks for your warm welcome [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Both of our babies birth date very near Do u still carry your bb? Mine now is 8 kg plus. Quite difficult not to carry him but yet worried since it's not advisable to carry heavy things now.
All mummies jia you ! And have an enjoyable weekend. Ya... I'm very very tired, just want to have a good rest .

Mummies.. Ur baby seem big, all ard 10mm @ week 5-6. Mine seem very small, onli 7mm @ week 6.. I somehow think my baby is less than 6 weeks but gynae now is based on my last menstrual date to calculate the number of weeks I'm in.. But dun think is accurate leh cos I jus got married
on 3rd July.. So even by then strike, I think shld be 4-5 weeks? Or could it b I'm not eating enough so baby is not growing much?

Mrs Chua,
LMP does is not accurate becos u do not know when u O it will only be accurate if ur cycle is a regular 28days. so ur gynae shd advice u the possibilities of ovulation late.... my sac size at 6wk is 13mm+... so believe urself instead becos we know our body best... if u r worried can consider goin for 2nd opinion? btw bb wun grow jus becos we eat alot... as we go along u will notice sumtime the bb will sudden gain alot even u din eat much tt wk n gain v little when we eat alot... becos it not how much we eat but how much they absorb.. so dun worry abt eatin[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Mrs Chua, my gynae told me that in the early stages (first 3 months or so) all babies grow at the same rate. So if you're measuring below that, your baby is prob younger. Gynaes always start counting from your last LMP -- it's a funny convention, which makes you 2 weeks pregnant at the date of conception [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi Mrs Chua,
Yeah it's not accurate to use your last menstrual period as a guide because we ovulate on different days in the month... unless we know for sure which days we ovulate if not it's hard to know which week we are in actually. I thought I was in week6 already but the scan showed only 5 weeks plus, and no heartbeat yet [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Especially since your wedding was only on 3rd July, it's possible that you're less than 6 weeks.
I think we shld all relax and not stress ourselves out (I know, easier said than done, I'm totally obsessing over it). But let's try nonetheless! JIA YOU and have a nice weekend!

BTW my gynae also used last menstrual period to estimate 7 weeks now but I know it's impossible because I have never had a 28 days cycle before.. you should be able to roughly estimate your cycles to see which days you could have ovulated. If your cycles are long you could have ovulated late so your foetus is actually very small and it's very early in the pregnancy.
I was also discouraged when my gynae said that the foetus looked small but after rationalizing scientifically, I am trying to stay positive and hope that everything will turn out well!

piggytoh, noeymum & pinkraindrops... ya, I oso think is not right to use LMP to calculate but by when will we be able to know the more acurate date? duno if I shld be abit "pantang" abt MS.. today was a clear day where I can leave my house for breakfast & some light shoppping with hubby.. though got some ramen craving so huby brought me to Ajitsen. ordered the beef ramen but end up eating a few mouthful of the ramen & all ramen den full liao.. haha.. find it very wasteful to left so much of food but hubby say is ok la.. at least I got eat some... was tellling hubby we shld order 1 bowl which we upsize the ramen & share so not so wasteful... hehe though MS is kind to me but I realy wonder if I shld be pantang cos worried it will come back again tmr... hehe
anyway, my mummy ever since knowing I pregnant had been asking me to buy birdnest to eat. she say is gd for baby, next time baby come out complexion will be very good hehe.. initialy, she asked me to buy after 3 mths where I'm able to eat more but today when she heard I can leave my house to go out for breakfast, she ask me to quickly go buy... haha.. so I went to Yu Ren Sheng to buy those ready birdnest.. 6 bottles for $70+ (usual price $90+). hoping to start 1 tmr.. but is really exp to eat birdnest leh... if 1 day 1 bottle.. omg.. but for baby's sake, what to do leh?

Ya I agree eat everything in moderation.
I ate the Lao Hang Jia concentrated bird nest when I was expecting my boy but he wasn't fair at all.In fact,at birth he looks even more tanned than me & my hubby. His skin was quite good though.
As for my girl, this time I choose to eat Eu Yan Sang
concentrated bird nest and my girl was born fair with rosy
cheeks BUT her skin was sensitive! When I ate seafood or prawns she'll develop rashes after drinking my breastmilk.
when she's 20mths, there's once we ate prawn mee at a hawker and she develop those allergy spots and we got a fright and thought did she develop chicken pox or what.Her drooling will even cause rashes around her mouth area and so we use Sebamed facial protective cream to apply around her mouth to improve the condition.
So for my 3rd 1, I think I'm saving my $, no bird nest.
