Congrats Gina on clearing the tests and getting a princess!
Mossie, so early can get Braxton hicks?! That's new to me. I only start getting BH in the 3rd trimester!

Congrats Gina! Really a relieve! By d way .. How tey come out w the ratio 1:20 ? is it oscar scan alone to get the result? or is include blood test to give u the ratio 1:20? Sorry I m first time mummy n I am very confuse w these .
Hi ms tan, I think if u hv this down's syndrome screening test done at KK, they call it the triple screening or smthg? Basically this test in the first tri (wh is optional) takes into account 3 things: mother's age, scan of baby (neck area) n blood test. The result is a combi of these 3 to produce a final result in the form of a ratio. So my age n scan ratios were ok but blood one not so gd so it pulled overall ratio to high risk. Hope that helps?
Try googling babycentre. I got a lot of info there (n still do) as a first time mummy

Wow so nice! So you can really enjoy your pregnancy! Will your family fly over when baby is born?
Mossie
You're having CONTRACTIONS? Oh my gosh! Like Ni, I also thought we only get BH in 3rd tri. Must be a super advanced baby you have there! And womb!
Wow so many of you have done your triple test already. Mine will be in 3 weeks.
Sidenote: wondering if next time I see a preggie lady at the chwee kuey stall at TB mkt, should I go up and say hi? Hehe

Ms Tan: If i remember correctly, for the oscar i did for #1.
There will be several sets of results, 1 base on background (age, habits, etc), 1 base on measurements (Thickness of liquid @ back of bb's neck, whether bb has an obvious bridge at nose, etc) taken off baby, 1 base on the blood test. Each will have it's own risk ratio. There are some who don't do well for certain combi of the ratios, so need to do the amionic test, where they extract the water from the waterbag to test. But this test got high risk, so most gynaes won't recommend as first option.

Attention PLUS Size mummies/MTBS - Dorothy Perkins having sale and if you want to get your tops, bottoms now is the time to go! I went to get my stash of stuff today after my course..hehe.. Got myself dresses which is expandable and tops that can accommodate the tumtum when it gets bigger.
Mossie - You having contractions? Ok how does that feel like? I had a pricking sensation earlier for a few times and I instantly went "OUCH". Until my sis say I'm exaggerating but I'm not kidding. Dunno what is that pain, but when I rest and sit for a while, it went away. Hope its just gas. Im now 14 weeks.

Coraine, thankfully procedure n post-procedure not painful. There was pain equivalent to injection when the local anesthetic was given, after that, some discomfort as a catether/outer needle went in. Was told to expect twitching/cramps/spotting in next few days but I was fine. Thank God for safe n painless experience. Only my heart pain during waiting period for results!!
The contractions feels like normal cramps but more uncomfortable. I din know it is contractions until the scan. I just googled it and it is not uncommon. Just that sometimes we don't feel it. I felt it that night when I was feeling super sick. Common trigger could be dehydration and it make sense coz I was feeling super dry due to my sore throat. Only thing I should do now is to drink more fluids, which is difficult for me but I'm trying.
My worry now is that everytime I scan, I don't see the baby move. It's kinda weird coz my #1 was super active in my tummy. Everytime I scan, the doc will only detect hb and say baby is fine. I think I'm just scaring myself I hope to see that baby dance next week on my Oscar scan.

mossie, i had BH contractions in my 2nd trim, i went home and think think about it, and thought it might be the result of my diet? maybe something abit "liang", so i decide to totally give up tea. and it worked for me. no more BH after that. until i reached full term, then i went back to my 1 cup of tea a day and end up my delivery was considered fast. drip at 8am, fully dilated at 12nn and bb out at 1pm.
maybe u can see if there is anything in your diet which might have trigger it? might not be the same for everyone la.

wonder when we can start to 进补? My in law start to boil birdnest for me to drink already, so far 2 times like that.. n black chicken soup. Ok right?
coraine, just normal chicken essence in 1st trim is ok!
ms tan, i do take home boiled herbal chicken soup too.. as long as not so excessive bah..
for bird's nest, someone told me that drinking too much during pregnancy will give bb sensitive airway later on. i did drink alot when i preg my girl, now she is 2 yo, in fact did have sensitive airway, although it does run in the family too, cos daddy has it. so up to you to believe. this time round, i'm still too sick of bird's nest that i told daddy no more for me! haha

I just had a bottle of chicken essence (plain) this morning because I thought it could help me wean off coffee. It didn't help! Still had a cup in the end.
As for bird's nest, I had a lot when having #1. His skin ended up very nice - fair and smooth. For #2, we were less bothered and she turned out pretty dark skinned. But #1 has more allergies than #2.
Both allergies and fair/dark skin runs in the family, so not sure if there is any relation with bird's nest at all. But I still found it yummy!

Went to medical stall at bugis area to buy dangshen, red dates, ye shan pao shen and birdnest with mum and aunt. Started my weekly birdnest with ye shan pao shen portion for 2 weeks now, I am coming to week 16 next week.
According to the medical stall person, she say dangshen with red dates drink help to "bu qi". The amazing thing is I felt alot less giddy after this drink. It can be drank about twice a week.
For those interested can try. =)

Morning all, I guess it will be quiet here on weekends as no one is in office to turn in comp. Just when I thought ms is subsiding yesterday, I start to feel nausea at once last night. Me and my silly thoughts. I tried not to take my anti vomitting pills but I can't stand the ms at all. Im a sucker at that. Sigh... I switch to a milder med call metachlopromide under doc advise. Anyone taking this?
Hi
Gina, congras, hope i got a girl too
*wink wink*
Mossie, yes i heard of it Braxton hicks, i got it for my first preg, i tot is some complication but apparently might be due to walking too much or too tense up ... u must rest well ah

Is it due to hormones change? I have been observing myself i think my temper is not the same as before..Am i normal?
