Lush: Wow, what a coincidence in our dates! I'm doing it in KKH though, which looks like it is more expensive than taking the test in TMC.
How many weeks will you be pregnant at the time of doing the test?
All the best in your results! I think I'll wait for my NT scan results, heh.

pinko - must wait for a while hee hee sometimes evening then it happens.
actually I also rub ruyi oil on my tummy and esp the spine , my mum told me rubbing ruyi oil on spine/tailbone helps expel the wind like doing with babies

OSCAR - wow, looks like alot of mommies are further along & doing their OSCARs soon
I am going to take the OSCAR test also & if the results are ok, then no need for the invasive amniocentesis cos that comes with a risk of MC. I think there is now a new blood test that can replace the amniocentesis? Check with your gynes?
pinko - I am working from home today & there is renovation work going around my apartment as well. I think the drilling affecting baby thing is an old wives tale. Same as not sewing on the bed?
Gyne appnt - am FINALLY gonna get to see my prawn baby for the 1st time tomorrow morning! So excited but apprehensive at the same time! If everything is well, i can finally announce the pregnancy

Pinko, Jowin - my 1st, i dont even have time for pre natal classes but after birth, the lactation consultants at TMC were very nice, friendly, dont feel intrusive or invasive. They are at your beck and call throughout the 3day stay you're there. I called many times and then they help to massage pinch until colostrum came, feed sayang baby... Very professional... Love that abt tmc... And i had this particular consultant who came in daily to see how i was, on last day even gave me a box of bottled liquid milk telling me that i can bf... Dont give up but if really cannot try cup feeding the liquid ready fm and try agn.. Still cannot call them up... Very gd memories i have of tmc...

MayC: Have fun with your scan! How far are you along in your pregnancy?
mscarpediem, X - yes, FINALLY! I called the gyne's office to ask for an earlier appnt some weeks back but they said no - she doesn't see patients till at least week 9! So yes, tomorrow i am 9w4d according to my calculation. For #1, the 1st visit was at 9w5d - don't know how I waited that long then too!
Am gonna log off in abit...have to get dressed up for a wedding dinner tonite
Mommies have a great weekend & wish me luck for my appnt. Hopefully baby is growing well & she can detect the heartbeat. I doubt I would be able to sleep properly tonite!

Hi Blue_Y : yup I feel the same... try to eat some stuff. Just ate some peanuts . The fried food smell is really a killer
Hi Amasing, no discount with FBI at Dr Cheng.
For #1, i joked that i m recommended by one of his patient. Can discount? He really gave me a discount. I bet this time if i go back to him, he will give me abit too la.. hee hee. I have not decide to go back to him anot. Seeing Dr Benjamin Tham tomorrow. I am still scare of the waiting time.
MayC, tml your 1st appt? All the best
Have a great evening.
Blue, yes, the lactation consultant are really nice people and help me. They really ok with exclusive breastfeed as i requested and never persuade me to give FM. I heard other hospital just feed baby FM when at nursery instead of bringing baby to us whenever they need milk. Its easier for them.

PiggyB, jowin baby - thank you! I know i will be v kancheong at the gyne's tomorrow!!
PiggyB- same here, I am hungry alot & tend to eat too much at the beginning, then realise that I am super bloated after that....but a couple of hours later, I get hungry again...and the cycle repeats itself! Wondering if I can watch my weight this time round. Btw, #2 babies are supposedly bigger than #1.
Cravings - I don't really have any, except for peanut butter sandwiches! Oh, and thunder tea rice (have yet to eat that).
TMC - yes, the nurses at TMC are really nice & helpful. They are v pro-BFing as well, & if you indicate that you want to TBF, they will make it a point to bring baby to you every few hours for its feed - including maybe 2X in the middle of the nite.

Re: appetite
I hv no appetite and do not puke my food. Hv to be careful with what I eat cos some food will make me feel sick.
Will want to eat things like beef, chicken wings, pasta with fat juicy sausages...
One meal can last me the whole day cos I'd feel v v full and bloated after the meal.

<font color="660000"> blue_y,
Me! Everything tastes bland now n everything else has a strong smell. Watever I can swallow, I puke out eventually. Either that or I feel super bloated n sick for the longest time.
Jamie:
Think the first time u count is supposed to b the most accurate. Anyway another fun thing is to take a ring u wear, tie a thread, string or strand of ur hair to it n hang it very still over ur tummy. If it goes in circles supposed to b a girl, if it moves frm side to side or back n forth. Boy.</font>

My abdomen is much better since I went back to work n not carrying my son so much during the day... I think it's the carrying around that caused the pain. Now off n on only hv constipation pain. The meds doc gave not really working n juices & Fybogel doesn't work either. Especially since I'm still puking so I think abit dehydrated...</font>

Then i'm glad you've stopped carrying your child. Hopefully he/she is old enough to experience your love through hugs, kisses and words of assurances.
Hope that your constipation will be cured soon!

Im quite worried. Went to see gynae again yesterday because had quite a lot of spotting. Gynae found blood clot behind placenta. She said that means im at "high risk" now and ordered bedrest for me for next few days till i see her again on Wed. Baby was fine though, could see him/her waving hands..
Feeling down now.. Hoping everything will be ok. Should i eat more protein (beef, egg, durians??) to strengthen baby. I cant do anything abt the clot can only hope it goes away on its own.

Envy the ladies who have appetite! I'm steering clear from meat, vegetables and fish! I hope things will get better cos my ms is real bad.
Btw mummies, what are the essentials to buy and prepare for the first month? A tad too early to ask but fiance and I are hoping to buy some per month instead of rushing at the last trimester. Haha
