Jo - when I feel nausea, I drink Pocari only. I will suck a honey lemon candy until it stabilise before I eat anything else. Anyw when you feel like vomitting - you'll never feel hungry too. But try to keep the 2 hour food intake, ever since I stick to it, I have not been having MS anymore. Hungry or not, 2 hours just eat something.
For the 1st few weeks, I crave for Mac's Filet-o-Fish, but these days, I bugged my HB for BK's Whopper until he BTH, hahahaha!

OSCAR, or One-stop Clinic for Assessment of Risk for Fetal Anomalies is a combination test offered in the first trimester to screen for risk of fetal anomalies, in particular Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21). It involves a nuchal translucency (NT) scan and a blood test.
An OSCAR screening will allow you to find out in your first trimester, if your baby has a high risk of chromosomal defects.
If the results indicate you have a higher risk of carrying a baby with Down's syndrome, you can opt to do further invasive tests such as CVS. OSCAR screenings are optional and you can discuss it with your doctor if you wish to have this screening.

Thks ccharis for the clarification.
My gynae here also recommended that I do some of these tests due to my age....but hubby and I decided that we will not go ahead with it. As Catholics, we will not abort whatever outcome so why go through it
That's just what works for us
just pray and have positive thoughts...

to curb nausea, i will recommend candied ginger. it helps to control my nausea. but think cannot eat too much ginger when in 3rd tri, may cause jaundice.
i dunno if there's any truth in ginger causing jaundice though. for #1, during 3rd tri, i drink this chicken soup tonic that brew with ginger juice and dom alt day. #1 was ok, no jaundice at all

Deli meats which means ham, salami etc are safe to eat if they ar heated to steaming. So in pizzas etc it is safe to eat. Cheese - to avoid soft cheese or cheese made from unpastuerized milk. Soft cheese is Brie, camberbet, roqurtfort etc. For cheese and deli meat and smoked meats, it is because there is fear of contamination of listeria a bacteria which can cause miscarriages.
Vega should avoid raw veg just in case the veg is contaminated with toxoplasmosis. Same bacteria found in cat droppings.

And for hams, it is better to get bone in ham. And avoid hamburgers and nuggets and none bone in ham as these are made from worst cuts if meats and a lot of coloring is added. For example, for burgers, sometimes they will use high water spray to remove the meat from the skulls of cows and this is a greyish mixture so thy will need to add coloring to make it pink again. Anyway I'm talking abt those prepacked frozen ones. Some burgers are made from real grounded beef.
Deli meats should eat in moderation even if heated because of the nitrates. As with all preserved foods. Even sour Plum, should get those that are not from china. Apparently sometime back they used some funny chemical

Now the measurement should be the crl measurement. Crown to rump. Can the doc give u the jabs and u go gp to do. Gp charges 10 to 12 bucks per jab excluding meds. I did that last time. Did the doc say why you must scan every week? V frequent leh. I had bleeding thru out my first tri last preg and I see doc once every 2-3 weeks.

I see. My doc already gave me the max dosage of jabs. So he says just monitor. Nothing much he can do. Unless there is bleeding or cramps he will not see me. He also mention that too much ultrasound is no good for the baby. But the scans are still more frequent then this preg as he wants to make sure bb is ok and growing well. I spend close to 5 k in the first tri last preg. Anyway just follow what your doc says he knows what's best.

Thanks all!
Btw May, my gynae's also Dr Chua.
Hi Joanna, I volunteer to go back to my gynae every 2 weeks, largely because of my history and also because we are very cautious. I think 1st trimester, better to be more cautious.
For nausea, I tried candied ginger too, after a while I got sick of it. Nowadays, the only think that works is this organic lemon drops from Yummy Earth. Can get it from Cold Storage.

May: My last appt with gynae is on 19 Mar and next appt is on 19 Apr. Gynae says if no bleeding no need to go back. I was also wondering why such a long gap between the visits. Seem like everyone else in this thread is seeing her beanie every 2 weeks.
Joanna : Except for alcoholic drink, i drink anything that makes me better. I drink barley, green tea, coke.. I think anything in moderation is ok. Anyway, my gynae prefer me to drink something than not drink at all
I keep having dry lips problem, anyone else has this prob. I try to sip drinks every few minutes but doesnt seem to help much leh.

BBkay, Hehhe. I see. Then not cooking will save her some work and give her more time to rest.
Actually I haven't ask if my MIL will do my confinement for me this time. She did my confinement for #1, so I just assume she will do it again. I better go ask her. Else later she can't help and I can't get CL in time, then i cry also no use

May,
I gotten wait for another 4 weeks before I see my beanie.. such a long wait. Doing my OSCAR on the same day also. Praying that everything will be fine till then. My lips also very dry and cracking. I tried putting lip stick to moisturize it but cannot tahan the 'taste' of the lip stick
JustALamb,
My MIL don't stay near me so she will be travelling every day to my place in the morning to help and goes home in the evening. So, I don't want her to be so xinku, need to go marketing and cook as well. I also don't like my house to be 'oily' with all the cooking, tats y thinking of catering confinement food.
BBKay3105,
Was thinking of Natalessentials also since they are the veteran in this field. The other caterer I am considering is Chilli Padi

Joanna,
I think so.. hahaha.. My gynae was explaining to me that day that during the 1st trimester, our pregnancy sac will have our bb and a 'egg yolk'. The 'egg yolk' is bb supply of food during the 1st trimester so we can throw up all the time but bb will still get nutrients from the egg yolk. Likewise, I think if drinking abit of caffeine helps to keep fluid down, its ok to take.. better than being dehydrated right? keke

Joanne, candied ginger from those snack shops. I buy from the market near bugis guan yin temple. They sell very cheap and very fresh there.
ginger beer is a gassy soft drink.
Then i ask my mom to make sweet potato soup with ginger, and tang yuan with ginger soup.
Gong cha also got this ginger milk tea. Hehehe. I cut down on bubble tea since I got preg, whenever I gave in to my cravings, I will order the ginger milk tea. At least it got ginger, still consider heaty.

Ccharis - Great to see you back on the forum. Hope your mom's doing better. Try not to puff too much! Eat chocs instead.
I frequent AMK Hub. Must really grab hold of my boy's hand next time.
My lips are also very dry, no matter how much water I drink. It got better and now it's back to dryness.
TGIF! Going to the Marina Barrage tomorrow. Hope the weather holds up. Have a great weekend!
