Hi Mummies,



I visited my gynae today. It was the first time I see my bb. My bb is 7 weeks and 5 days, 14.4mm. At first I did not see bb heartbeat. I was so anxious.. Then my gynae zoom zoom zoom the picture, then only can see the heartbeat. I was so relieved!



My next appointment will be on 17 Dec and I will be doing OSCAR test by then. Eh.. I didnt know OSCAR test that expensive leh. I better call n ask the clinic tmr. If not I wont have enough money to pay.. hehe..



OSCAR test

According to my gynae, OSCAR test is also known as First trimester test. It is done in between 11-14weeks. It includes a blood test and a Ultrasound Scan to check the neck thickness. This test is mainly to detect Down Syndrome BB. The results will tell you whether you are at high risk or low risk. If high risk, then your gynae will most probably do a Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) - which is to get a sample of the placenta to test the possibilities of having down syndrome bb.



For my #1, my gynae did not have this OSCAR test. I did the Triple Test which is conducted in week 15-20. That also includes blood test and ultrasound scan. So if you are detected high risk, your gynae will advise you to go for amniocentesis - which is to draw the amniotic fluid to test. These tests are also for detecting down syndrome. My SIL went for the amniocentesis becoz she wanted to skip the triple test. The report shows very detail info especially on the chromosomes.



For me, I prefer to do these test in order to make sure my bb is a healthy one. I believe in "长痛不如短痛" . If your bb is out and not healthy, its a lifetime that you need to look after her/him. Both parents and bb will suffer. Since the technology is so advance now, these things can be avoided. Anyway, this is totally my personal opinion. No offense to anyone.



feimei,

Can help to update my info?

EDD: 4th July

Audrey n lyn:

hey I am a teacher too!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] These few days it's been crazy in school coz of prize-giving day.. I was advised not to walk too much as I had brown discharge 2 weeks ago (6th week) and I was so afraid that the discharge will come back.. I can't wait for work week to be over so that I can really rest....



By the way, is anyone on progesterone? I see alot of duphaston here.. Are they similar ?

I have been on progesterone since my 4th week and it knocks me out in half an hour [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Anyone visits www.babycenter.com.sg?



You can look at how the baby develops and how ur body changes each week of the pregnancy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



There are also lots of useful information on that site.



Do check it out.. I am practically addicted to that site after a colleague introduced it to me. I love reading over and over again how the bb develops every week and then visualize how bb is growing like inside me!

 
Nana..

Its our job nature to walk and walk... And walk and walk... And it's a taboo to take MC cos colleagues will see you as a sinner once u are back..

Cons of this job [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Wow Audrey n nana 1am still hv not slp??? Must try to slp earlier



As for the Oscar test will cost abt $320-$350 ba, whether to do it really depend on

Mtb,but if over 30yr think better go for it cos the risk increase with mummy age

 
Pillow,

Dun worry, I think your bb can grow twice as fast within one week.



Nana,

I use to visit www.babycenter.com, without the sg.. hehe.. this US site got alot of videos especially the growing of baby in the womb, delivery videos if you are interested, as well as post natal care.

yaya - u wanna go KK 24hr women's clinic? they will first do a preg test, once it is positive, they will direct u to the gynea room, which is rather fast one.. =)

hope u are fine

 
Audrey n lynzi: mensus irregular. I'm either 5th wk or 6th wk based on symptoms.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Sunshine: If u r in week 4 means I'm in the right thread[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
yaya,

tmc also got 24hr clinic.

Just go to either tmc or kkh 24hr clinic n they will be able to help u.

U not yet on duphaston rite?

 
clarissagoh,

Duphaston is a hormone booster to stabilize pregnancy. It's not a multivitamin. Multivitamin will be prescribed normally on 1st visit and to be taken as early as possible.



nanamum,

I visit babycentre website very often when I had my #1 and now. Very interesting website indeed.



If not wrong, Duphaston is the brand of the medication, which is progesterone.



yaya,

Call your gynae or head to KKH. After which, please have complete rest in bed. Take care!

 
Lynzi & elch, suddenly saw the red n make me worry! Then i call gynae n i guess it connect to thomson medical. The gynae there ask me to increase duphaston dosage loh.



After lying for few hrs n taken the pills, it seems better. I hope it will b okay.. Sigh

 
audrey, 7mths of no work? wow super shiok lor. envy envy... and audrey, why are u still sleeping so late? no good no good...try to sleep early. force yourself.



nana-mum, i am also addicted to that website. i go in almost every 2 days. so at least i know the growing process. so amazing right?



yaya, make sure u do bed rest. dun walk... rest rest rest.. and tell your bb to hold....

 
hi lynzi thks for yr advice. aft hearing lots of comments saying the crump is normal i feel more relax ;)

Re: 2nd time mummies

My girl loves me to carry her and also loves to lie on top of me. Is it ok for her to lie on me nw at tis stage? She's 18mths old tmr and weighs abt 10.6kg.. Also, a lot of ppl say dun carry her too much bt she's very attached to me, as I'm her main caregiver.. She still co-slps with me, but tt's another story altogther.. Does anyone else face tis problem too?

 
Hi Mtbs,



I am not sure if i am in the right forum? Normally i shld be in the Car or Watch forum. My wife has tested postive for the 1st time and projected EDD: 20th July 2011.

Can any 1 advise on a reputable and confident gynae near Tiong Bahru Area?

Do i need to bring her to gynae so early?



Regards,

Adrian Tan

 
Hey Adrian!

I am seeing dr Fong yang at Fong centre for women and fertility. He has 2 branches, one at paragon and one opp tiong bahru plaza, blk 18 jalan membina.. It's good to see a gynae early..

Dr Fong tested my hcg and progesterone level when I was in my 4th week to check if the embryo is developing at a healthy rate to rule out ectopic. He also gave me progesterone pills to keep my progesterone level up.. It prevents menstruation which in turn can prevent miscarriages which is quite common in first trimester.

I think that he is very gentle, patient and answers my questiona professionally. I even call the clinic emergency number sunday night at 9+ when I had spotting and freaked out and he called me back personally in less than a minute [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



As this is my first pregnancy after trying for more than half a year (and having a famous gynae tell me that it might b diff for me to be pregnant unless I go for surgery), I feel that I am in safe hands with dr fong.

 
jamie



my son is turning 2yo soon and he is also very very attached to me. still co-sleeping wif us too and like urs oso wants me to carry, hug etc all the time. As long as she is not jumping or stepping on ur tummy is still ok!

My son will sit on my thigh at most or my chest..he used to jump on me but i kept reminding him thr's a baby inside so cannot jump..but he still dun understand y i cant carry him so if i can still carry, i'll try to carry him still.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi morning all mtb



Suying u thinking to go KKH??? Any gyne in mind???



Adrian I stay in tiong bahru area b4 the nearest u can consider as wht Nana say is Fong clinic or thr also Thomson woman clinic beside tiong bahru plaza

 
Hi! Im going for my first appointment on next tues, anything i should note for that? should be almost 6 weeks by then, can i see beanie via ultrasound? anything i need to bring along with me?



FYI, i went to TCM, the sinseh listed out a few things that we should not consumed from now onwards.



- food that are taken out directly from the fridge (eg.. fruits should be taken out and put a room temp for a while before eating)

- pineapple

-barley (china)

- crab

 
icezjo, remember to empty your bowels and drink lotsa water before u going to scan. it will aid in the scan. can see better.

 
thanks pillow! hopefully can see coz my sinseh told me sometimes too early cant see and have to go back again. i wanted reassurance from doc too, coz i get cramps when i walk to much.

 
Pillow, elch and all iPhone users:



I just found out that there's an iPhone app for babycenter called My Pregnancy Today!!



It gives u daily updates on ur pregnancy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
