Littledotty! yay! u saw the heartbeat! so amazing right?
Beebeemer, u shd be 6 wks plus liao.. if more than 6.5 wks, shd be able to hear heartbeat.. go if u want to see something lor.
Candymix, recommend u go abt 6.5 wks so u can see heartbeat.. else nv see u also will worry.
but u are more than welcome to pay to see gynae lah.. wahahah...
Elise, I thought u have seen the heartbeat? why need to take HCG? did u have a lot of old blood in ur womb? are u on complete bedrest?
My tummy was so painful just now.. very frustrating leh.. dunno why like that..
part of me is worried that its the uterus.. sigh... save me! i m gg mad with worry!

Littledotty > congrats. So happy for you. I'm sure it's amazing to see the little one's heartbeat.
Beebeemer > haha I gave up using the online calculators. I think it's only accurate for those whose AF is really regular. Maybe during your next appt, you can ask your doctor to clarify your confusion.
Candymix > welcome to the thread! (; it depends on whether you want the gynae to help confirmed the pregnancy. But i think the pregnancy becomes more " real" even when all you see is just a small sac and not able to hear heartbeat as yet. IMO.

Hi, first time posting in this thread
Tested positive yesterday and not sure what to do next. I'm currently away from SG and will only return in the first week of Dec, so I'll probably start visiting the gynae then. In the meantime, I could only surf around the forums deciding who I should go to. Any recommendations for gynae? I'm totally lost. Could anyone also kindly share their charges (consultation packages and delivery charges) please? Thanks

Thanks gals! HB and I were amazed at the heartbeat and the sound.. Doc proposed OSCARS to be done at 11 weeks, I have already made the appt..vanilla is right, it is for down syndrome and the 20-week scan is a detailed scan so package together cheaper..
Congrats love_asa!
30012011: Mine will be at TMC, delivery charges are available on TMC website, do take a look coz there are many kinds..for my consultation, I have yet to ask if my doc has packages, but I dont think so..usually when I see her now, it will be $70 for consultation, $30 for scan..

Hi Jane10, I am not too sure. I was in the aug 09 mummy forum but not too active. I have been buying alot of baby stuffs from bulk purchase though. Have you arrange any bulk purchase before?
wow... less than 10 kg. I am hopping I can only gain 10 this time round. How old is your first baby? I am going for my first gynae next week (7 weeks).

Thks for the replies on OSCARS. Sounds scary though. Also hope i can see my baby on next week's visit, im 7 weeks next week. Was wondering if the online EDD is that accurate? Im 6 weeks and 6 days today,according to the first day of my last menses.
Hi Love asa, great to see you here, and you are preggy!

Re: Tummy bulging
Yes, I'm already feeling the bulge already... seems to 'show' very early this time round! even DH also ask y my tummy so big.. haa! Feeling so uncomfortable as the stomach seems to be stretching and feels very hard ...
Also very 'conscious' of my wt gain this round.. as i've put on more than 20kgs in my last preg... and had a hard time to shed off the excess... see myself in the pictures (before and after) really feel like crying... =(

Icez, Zara, i think its the genes lah. for my first trimester i lost 5kg.. this time like never budge at all leh.. then towards the end, no matter how much i eat also cannot gain.. there was a wk in my 3rd trimester where i ate ice-cream everyday.. think only gain a few hundren grams! last 2 mths, my weight was stagnant at 62.5kg.
I did a lot of yoga.. once a week for classes and did some at home.. every night i would walk my dog for abt 40mins.. may be that's why it helped.. i was already 2cm dilated at 36.5wks but in the end had to induce when baby was 40 wks 1 day.. haha.. labour was abt 4hrs only.. that's why i feel exercising is impt...
But hor i think this preg will gain more.. cos i have seems to need to have sweets in my mouth else feel very odd and nauseated.. and i haven't decreased in weight yet!

littledotty:which strechmark cream u use?start so early ah!!!? dilligent man
dilligent manExtract from ThomsonBaby.com
Women with normal weight at the beginning of pregnancy are advised to gain from 11.5 to 16 kg, while individuals who are overweight can gain between 7 to 11.5 kg of weight without there being cause for concern. Very obese women should try to limit their weight gain to 6 – 7 kg while underweight women should gain between 12.5 to 18 kg.
The weight gain in the first 3 months is about 1 to 2 kg and subsequently an average of 0.5kg a week. Of this weight gained, 25% - 38% goes to the baby, 20% to the increase in blood and fluid, 20% to the enlargement of the breasts and uterus and 20% to the placenta and amniotic fluid.
