Good Morning Ladies,
Thanks for all the prayers
I really appreciate it very much
*hugs*
BB
My gynae measured my bb and it is only 11mm where it should have grown to at least 15mm-16mm for 8wks3 days+/-. Based on the size of the baby, she said that there is signs that the bb growth is beginning to slow down.
I asked her if the hb was normal and strong and she said yes. Based on her experience, normally the hb would hv weaken and eventually stopped so she is equally puzzled that the heart is still going strong. However, she still concluded that it will eventuall slowed and stopped.
Now, I'm searching for another gynae for 2nd opinion, someone who is good in high risk pregnancy like this :S
Wanted to try Dr. Ann Tan at Mt E but her reviews are pretty negative so now still looking :S
Though we are prepared for the worst but just wanted to know if there are ways to help. My drinking of 3-4 ltrs of water for the past 2 wks did not help improve the amniotic level at all. *sigh*

Adel, I ever read that Prof Biswas from NUH handles high risk pregnancies and handled a case before on amino fluid too. I was doing my research on him too as I will be transferred to him soon for my high risk preg. The case that I read about was on a woman who kept losing her fluid and Prof Biswas managed to keep the baby for her. It was written by her hubby. Im not sure if it's a similar case to yours but am trying to find the link for you to take a look. Meantime, take care yeah.

adel, found the link on Prof Biswas
http://www.mummysg.com/forums/f37/he-gave-us-hope-he-deliveres-us-joy-21250/
<font color="000080">Adel >> I think it really depends on personality of the gynae lor... mine supposed to be 2.5mm, but was 2.2mm. I was so worried but my gynae was just like "Heartbeat strong! So never mind one!" Yours attitude is like opposite of mine.
anewmummy >> But m/s supposed to go away around 10weeks mah? No cramps or spotting right?
BB & Daisy >> Congrats on reaching 2nd tri! *throws confetti*</font>

Pine4Ling,
Prof Tay is more on oncology right?
Phylee,Jo & Qin
Thanks for the contact
Tethysea
I guess my case was also complicated by the fact that my amniotic fluid is very low at such an early trimester. For your case, it could be bb is just small but your fluid level is ok right?

Thanks wenwen, tethysea. My appointment will not happen until another 2 weeks. I'll wait. I do enjoy for now as I don't feel that uncomfortable, but just worried.
I do feel the same pressure for work + active toddler + house chores, etc. I thought I'm going to be mad. I think Ito get a part-time maid to help....

BB: thanks I've updated my info in the spreadsheet.
Adel: u might wanna get a 2nd opinion. in my case, my 1st gynae also say my bb not growing well when I went at week 7, not assuring too. luckily I checked out forum reviews of gynaes and decide to make a change. turn out at week 10 bb is actually growing well and edd also moved forward. hope it will be gd news to u too.

I've joined the antenatal class at TMC conducted by Mrs Wong Boh Boi in 2008 when I had my son. I find it really useful, especially for 1st time partents. Both my husband and I looked forward to attending the class each week.
Phylee
Thanks for the link. I managed to get an appt with Dr. Biswas tmr at 4pm

pamm:> R u a nurse? Aiyoh Suns also have to work... so sianz... at least i work at home ie own time own target ;p
BB:> Glad your MS is gone.
Daisy:> Some mummies have to wait till week 14... you tolerate for 1 more week ok?
Mrs Carice:> Forgot to ask you how many times a week u need to do the jab? For me twice a week & some parts of my buttocks have turned "black" from the jabs. Shudder! My hubby learnt how to do the jab from Eileen so he does it for me but he anyhow do one lah so sometimes can be quite painful. Do you need to put Crinone? That's a irritating thing plus expansive too... I've checked and 1 stick is $12.50 & I have to use 2 sticks a day. Super ex!
Anewmummy:> Agree with wenwen. My MS has also mellowed down since y'day and I'm 10wks+ now. Am still monitoring to see if it will strike again. However, my tummy is as huge as ever... could be due to I'm not 1st time mum plus all the hormone jabs + pills. Maybe your MS is over? But so far no one dare to ask me whether I'm preggy... maybe they thought I've put on weight bah. Hahahaha....
Esth3r:> I joined before. I think it's good for 1st time mummies since don't know what to expect. But when it's time for you to give birth, you have forgotten most of the things already
Now thinking back, I think it's kinda waste of money. But I think overall still good as I'm the lazy type who don't read up & the classes also make my hubby more involved in the pregnancy
Yes Mrs Wong's class are very popular. I'm too lazy and signed up with another instructor. If you plan to give birth in TMC, you can actually ask the instructor to come help you in bfg during your hospital stay.

Mrs Carice:> No wonder your buttocks are bruised ;p When I had my first one, I also had to do the jabs 3x a week. Terrible! Plus my ms was v bad then and the jabs only made it worse! Maybe you can try hot compress to sooth the swelling? It works

Good morning ladies! How r u ? I ve been bed rest and a bit boring. The discharge is very very light color and very light amount. I don't want to be worried anymore. It's tiring. I try my best. It's my fate. The baby is doing fine; bigger and bigger. Tomorrow nt scan to be done. All the best to you all! It's all our fate. I want to have healthy pregnancy. Must think positive
Good morning ladies
Mabel rest well, your baby is growing well so don't stress yourself too much. One of my friend had spotting all the way until she gave birth and her baby girl is now 7mths old and very strong and cheerful.
Phylee,
Will update after our visit to A. Prof Biswas today. Crossing my fingers and toes for the outcome
