yaya, dont worry. if that is the case you are still safe. nevertheless, i will still ask for you. I dunno whether he felt 2 pulses or he is imagining. maybe both are my pulse just tat it could be the "reflection" of my pulses. haha. i have never heard fr mummies here tat they can feel the pulses le.

Hi girls,
pillow, feimei, yaya, audrey, wendy, daph... all of you... thanks for all your advice ya?
My hubby asked me to remain positive but i find it so tough...
Yesterday night I told me parents about the news, though worried about the medication, was happy, ate lots over dinner etc.. we decided i skip one day of the medication..
Then i had a bit of pinkish mucus at 8:30pm, so i panicked, ate the medication. By 10pm, the spotting sort of lessened, so decided to go home to monitor situation, and would see doc the next day.
But at 11plus, again spotting, this time with small reddish streaks (fresh colour kind), so my hubby decided should take me to see the doc. We went to TMC and was so glad doc cheng could be called back (i thought it would be another doc at first). I was so worried the whole time..
Anyway the doc scanned and couldn't seem to find anything.... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] he says there are three possibilities: 1) pregnancy too early, cos ovulation was late 2) cell stopped growing earlier on so now can't detect 3) pregnancy is somewhere else in the body.
of course, 2) is sad and 3) is most dangerous, and doc asked us to just focus on 1) for now.
He asked me to up the medication to 3x duphaston n 3x progynova a day, and to stop the aspirin. Also did a blood test for hcg. he gave me an injection to strengthen womb lining, and asked me to see him thurs morn.
fellow christians out there. i'm just hanging on to God to pull us through this one. only we n God know how much we want the baby.
I just keeping telling myself that maybe it was indeed late ovulation, cos usually i ovulate late anyway...
now still spotting a little bit, but at least the good news is there is no cramping/ abdominal discomfort at all. praise the Lord. the only cramping i have is in my calves n not sure if it's cos i drink too much..?
anyway, just wanted to update you girls now that i've slept the whole night after coming home at 2plus am last night.. i feel slightly better (you know sat night i couldn't sleep cos of medication worry)
so, thanks girls, i'll keep you posted. but i won't be coming back so often to check, so you girls continue to enjoy your pregnancy ya!
luff u all.

All the ladies here will survive through the pregnancy despite all circumstances and we will see our little one in 8 months time. Amen!!
Abt taking care if bb and etc,
Currently my #1 is being taken care by my mum during the day when I'm working. But I have intended to send him to full day childcare when he's 18mths. Last week when I broke to news to my mum that I'm with #2, she said she doesn't wanna take care. (she said it's tiring, but I suspect that she's not pleased with my mil being able to work and so free) was very despaired upon hearing that she doesn't wanna help take care. I actually cried the whole day.
Later on, I came out with the solution that I will pay mum more(double of what I give to her every month) and ask her to help take care of #2 until 'she' turns 6 months old then send her to infant care. Only felt at ease when mum seems to be ok with the idea.

Hi ladies,
I tested +ve over the weekend but I'm a little hesitant to post as my previous ended in a m/c in aug.
Hopefully this bean sticks to me. If nothing goes wrong, then this would be my #2.
A little history, have been TTC-ing for more than 2 yrs b4 striking but it ended in a m/c in aug. So my gynae started me on my 1st cycle of clomid in October.
My appt's next week.

hi rosegal, *hug* everything will be ok, be positive.
hi yaya, a bit scared but well work still need to be done. Can really feel that i get tired easily in this trip. I walk abt 20min to get to my office this morning & it's leaving me a bit breathless thereafter. I think i need to somehow tell my boss to take taxi tmr onwards lol.
i'm also planning to find out more about infant care. my mum is not physically v strong to take care of bb, while MIL is totally nt going to help, with all her ECAs & stuff. It's just me n hb taking care of bb, not safe to hv maid w little one alone at home.
In fact when we told hb's family abt the possible pregnancy news, the whole thing is over within 10secs. Nt expecting champagne pouring or what but still... HB say his family takes time to warm up (??) so give them time. I was not v pleased about it, in fact i wasn't keen to tell them till after gynae visit aka confirmation but HB wants to share it first since they r family. If we were telling close friends, y nt family members. Somehow friends show more warmth leh.

Hi everyone,
I have been contemplating whether to join this thread as my situation is the same as freshpoison77. I had a m/c in Sep and just tested +ve last Fri. Will be seeing my gynae tmr. This is also my #2. My #1 (boy) is going 19 months soon.

pinkyrose, congrats! well, if you have time you can actually read the the previous thread of other mths, not only ours. it is always widely discussed. there are a lot of consideration as to whether which gynae or hosp u wanna choose. gotta zoom down whether u prefer male/female, is distance more impt or being comfortable with gynae more impt. is cost impt too... all these factors will make your selection easier.
freshpoison & jerjer_kids, u are most welcome to join us! it is recommended to join even though not confirmed cos at least u can talk to someone and ask for advice since we are not supposed to tell other ppl. then u can better take care of yourself and bb.

Audrey,
I went to Google on that just this morning as I'm also having clear discharge! Though it's not my 1st pregnancy, I've forgotten what to feel and expect.

It says it's normal!

Hey rosegal,
If can take leave and rest in bed. Only leave ur bed for toilet, bath and meals. If can, take naps in between. That's what I did last friday. The cramp and bleeding stops.
I will keep u in prayer.
Congrats pinkyrose, freshpoison77 and jerjer_kids. Welcome to the group.
Audrey, I also have clear discharge.
I took the Friso milk last nite and puked twice last night and once this morning. My hubby keeps telling me to try again but the thought of drinking it make me sick. I know it's a waste of $$$ but it's better to waste it then to puke all the meals. I really hope I don't need to drink it again.

Brainysmurfs,
You may wish to try other brands of milk. Anmum is not too bad. During my first pregnancy, I also disliked the taste of most brands except Anmum. I actually got samples from my gynae and during the hospital visits. Try samples first then you dont have to waste $.

brainysmurf > I started taking friso milk this morning. Hmm how about mixing the milk with milo? To lessen the taste of the milk..
pillow4,
Depending on individual gynaes practice. Some prefer not to use anything invasive as far as possible thus they'll just do a ultrasound scan and not a transvaginal scan. My gynae is one of them. Having a full bladder makes the 'view' clearer...
If we are taking prenatal multivitamins, those milk marketed for pregnant mums are not necessary as it'll only make the mummies fat and not the baby more nutritious. There's only so much that can be absorbed. Some gynaes do not recommend those milk for mummy deeming it unnecessary.

rosegal, hang in there and dun give up. i guess during this period, most of us will worry about this and that. let God take control of your whole pregnancy. have faith in him k? *hugs*
This morning i went for my 1st visit to the gynae. did an ultrasound and didn't manage to spot anything other than my womb. Dr gave me a picture of it though. told me to go back in 2 weeks. asked him a couple of qns... showed him my Obimin film tablet which contains 1mg of folic acid (vitamins and mineral supplements for pregnant women) and the usual 5mg of folic acid that i take separately. is it too much of folic? he said it's ok. to answer pillow4, shd not be a prob. cos my total intake is 6mg.
also asked abt having 3 bowls of chicken essence soup per week, where my mil likes to boil and allow the chicken to "drip out". i like it and my sis in law also like it. so i guess my mil can make for both of us. haha.
Dr Adrian Woodworth can also allow us to deliver at either Mt A or TMC. I will most probably choose Mt A [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
