Yallo: Thanks for sharing! Least I know its for stabilising the womb. I didn't have a pleasant first gynae visit as the gynae couldn't be too bothered to explain too much, thats why I switched gynae. Let's pray hard that our babies will be on the first scenario.
Tethysea: Welcome to the thread [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Will see you here more often soon..

Hi Jacqueline, I'm due for my follow-up next week. Went for 1st gynae visit on Monday because I was panicking, doc did blood test and gave duphatson also. Cramps seem to be gone but I'm still spotting dark brown.
I don't have any symptoms?! Other than slightly sore boobs and slightly increased appetite. But I'm only at 4 wks and 3 days lar.
Do you girls happen to know what are normal hcg levels for 4+ weeks?

hcg is in thousands???? the 1st time i was detected preg when i was in KK (did a blood test and found out preg coz the preg kit only shows a faint line), they said mine only hundred plus!!! now i am scared also le...
Tangerine, we all just need assurance, to know that we are preg, it's healthy, etc... =)
i am worried actually... when will we know if the baby if in right place and not etopic preg?? how is it possible that the fetus can just died inside the tummy?? and how will we know??

Manunited, I guess no harm taking duphaston since it helps to stabilize.
Jac, ur gynae has scanned u right, if u saw sac n doc didn't say anything then it shldnt be etopic. Heartbeat is the next thing we shld look out for. Of heartbeat is good then shld be ok. Don't worry.. We shld focus on the positive!

Jacqueline, how many weeks along are you? If go for scan should be able to check that it's not etopic. As for foetus dying... I think sometimes just "suay", the egg not viable lor. My sis's 1st one was blighted ovum, almost 3 mnths liao suddenly no heartbeat [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

thank you cloud942, manunited and tethysea!! now i feel more assured after what u all telling me... coz doc did scan and showed us the dot.. but didnt say anything else.. only say during next scan, will know if it's alive or not.. so i thought it might be related...
manunited, ms suddenly stopped?? but as if now, our symptoms should still be considered mild right?? mine is on and off de leh.. like today, i am feeling ok except for tiredness..
tethysea, i should be in my 6th weeks already i think.. LOL...
what is blighted ovum?? means no heartbeat?? but usually by 2nd mth no heartbeat, doc will ask to do something abt it already right? y wait till 3rd mths??
yeah!! 6pm!!!! =)

Tangerine: Hahaha I TOTALLY understand how you feel!!! Especially when I have no morning sickness at all. That's why I couldn't tahan the long wait and brought forward my appt with Dr. Lee.
babypom: No leh I didn't do a blood test. Just took weight, blood pressure and then the tummy scan.
tethysea: Hey your name looks familiar... do you happen to be on the RL thread in sgbrides forum too?

Blighted ovum means there's an egg sac but it's empty. My sis blames KKH for bad advice, they asked her to wait and "see how"!
yallo >> Yes! I thought your nick looked familiar too!

I do agree that the wait for next gynae visit is sooooo agonising... so wanting to check out baby to know everything's fine. Its another 4 weeks to my next visit which would also include the Oscar test. =(
Hmm. my gynae did not take my weight nor blood test leh for 1st 2 visits.
Think MS comes and goes leh. One week I was having reflux and burping, the next week totally without symptoms and now often nauseous feeling. I tend to eat more appetitsing food, kai wei. Before every meal, I will nail down my craving and tell hubby! Arghs. My mee siam lunch is still lingering at my throat. My friend also preggie now does not seem to have much symptoms at all. It really differs bah...
Lets not worry too much ya... stay positive and happy! =)

Hi
I’ve 2 x pre loved Bamboo Belly Bandit to let go.
Condition: 9.5/10. Washed twice only.
Kiddy Palace selling at SGD $129.90 each.
Am letting go at $50 each or both for $90.
Size: XS – 28 to 32 inches.
Colour: Beige
Our best selling eco-friendly Bamboo Belly Bandit® has been the most popular Belly Bandit to date. Maybe its because it is inherently antibacterial*; moisture wicking*, and three times more durable than cotton.
Maybe it could be that Bamboo is a sustainable crop that requires no pesticides; fungicides; herbicides, or additional water. Fabric made from Bamboo is one of the softest; all natural; and GREENEST fibers around. Our specialized graded elastic Bamboo style helps to aid in tightening the belly, minimizing stretch marks and supporting core muscle structure.
This is definitely a perfect balance of outstanding comfort and compression. The Bamboo Belly Bandit® is made for the "green" mom who spares no expense for the environment, or her comfort. Ecological; smart; unbeaten, and all together our comfy coziest! Being earth-friendly never felt so good!
Can refer to:

Deal at Seng Kang / Punggol MRT or mutually agreed location…

Hi girls, I was looking around and saw a site selling Bella Bands >> http://www.figure8maternity.com/viewItem.cfm?pid=1164500
Does anybody want to share? Even with shipping it's still cheaper than buying from Maternity Exchange. Shipping is US$29 so if we split it's even cheaper.

tethysea, who was ur sis seeing in KKH??
wah!! the band is kinda ex!!
TIE, what is oscar test??
MIL bought durian for me again.. was too full last night so didnt eat any... I know she meant well coz that time i told her i only have cravings for it... but end up it seems like she will buy often.. even hb went to tell her not to buy anymore coz afraid that put on too much weight for myself and baby...
(i forgot MIL got the habit of buying food.. and not finishing it and will ask me to eat say its for everyone to share... think i cannot tell her what else i wanna eat.. i will really put on unnecessary weight because she will want you to eat... even if u say u r full or dun feel like eating it or dun eat those stuff, she will say its ok but after that seems unhappy or try other ways to make you eat....)
it's long weekend soon!!!

ok... got the phamplet gynae gave me...
OSCAR test is to screeen for abnormalities, in particular Down's Syndrome. The risk assessment is done by a combination of your (a) maternal age, (b) fetal length, (c) fetal NT (fluid collection beneath the fetal skin in the region of the fetal neck that is measured by means of an ultrsound) and (d) serum biochemistry (sample of blood analysed for levels of 2 hormones - hCG and PAPP-A)at 11-13 weeks into your pregnancy.
Don't worry, your gynae will explain more during your 2nd visit. =)
Hmm... off n on one or two pimples pop out bah. but mainly neck n chest area got some dunno is it heat rash or something. little red spots.

Manunited, what kind of breakouts are u referring to and which part of face?? my complexion got worse.. and dry... its like i need to do mask every night... and pimples here and there.... i thought its due to bad weather!!
OIC, thanks babypom!!
thanks mamaAsh!! actually i was seeing irene chua at times for woman prob at kkh.. actually till now, i still dun really know which hospital i want... lolx!!
thanks for the detailed info, TIE... How much is the test usually???
tethysea, i think because KKH got too many docs, really need to be careful who are you.. think subsidized ones are not that safe bah...
wore one of my maternity leggings today.. i would have to say, there r quite comfy.. wore the adjustable one.. there is a rubber that you can pull.. it works like your booster case... can fit ppl of bigger size also!! for mine, i need to pull until quite tight coz its too big for me at the moment.. the only prob is the rubber that you pull out to make it tight, duno where to keep them.. haha!

Hi all,
Manunited, I had pimples breakout at chin area for my 1st preg. U can ask dr Wong, I bought some cream n toner from them last time n it works well for me. Yep it's due to hormone changes. Some will hv better complexion etc..
For me, my eczema rash on elbow kinda got worse think maybe skin is drier now..
At times I'll compare my 1st preg to current n feel this time MS seems mild at the moment.. Sometimes worried if everything's ok or not...
Jac, keke thanks for leggings update, maybe will get one from them...
Think for kkh, it's better to ask for senior consultants to be safe?

tethysea: Did your Sis go to the subsidised or private doctors in KKH? And what's a Bella band?
TIE, how many weeks are you at already? Thanks for sharing all those information, really help first-timer like myself.
Jac, the leggings sound good. I remembered you mentioned you bought them from market right? Which vendor huh?
I think my skin is drier these days probably due to air-condition more often too. Just feel hot all the times if not I'll start sweating.

Kimiko >> I think she went subsidised at first.
Bella Band is this elastic band that can wear to keep the pre-preg clothes wearable for a while more or can wear when the maternity stuff is still too big. More info here: http://www.ingridandisabel.com/bellaband.html

tethysea, I see.. So your Sis's was a blighted ovum with hb at first then suddenly no more hb? Like Jac was saying, its really beyond us how such things would happen. I wish we are able to feel more so as to know how our baby is doing without relying on scans at this stage.
Jac, Im definitely getting something from the link. The leggings look good and price seem really reasonable. But is it thick enough as in will it become so translucent when you stretch it upon wearing then can see butt that kind? Coz I'm not so small size >.<
Pregnancy journal? You mean a journal mainly for pregnancy or just a book you start for pregnancy?
Hi Bunny, I was feeling that bad till about a few days ago. I have to agree it's truly a terrible feeling. I hope that yours will go away soon as it kinda clear up for me these few days. Lucky for me, I kinda 'hook' up on h2o when I was vomiting away from food poisoning and stomach flu. I find drinking it helps to hydrate me and ease that nausea feeling a bit. But doctor advised that we can only go for non-carbonated ones. Perhaps you can try to find out which sort of smell ease you, like I find fresh oranges and lemon refreshes me. The original h2o has this grapefruit smell which I find refreshing as well, perhaps that's why I feel better drinking it.
