Chubbyfingers, thanks for putting me on the list. How did you do it?
Catherine, are you still hunting for gynae and comparing packages?
Mrs Heng, Dr Adrian Woodworth's the gynae who delivered my #1. His clinic at SK is small & crowded, and he doesnt't talk much, but I guess the convenience of going to him on Sat without the need to take leave overshadows everything. He increased his delivery charges by quite a lot compared to 3 years ago...
As a general rule of thumb, avoid raw food, salads, caffeine, chinese herbs, pineapple etc. My gynae always say anything also can eat, but I prefer to be a little more cautious.
Wow i cant catch up with the thread... So fast & so much info liao. I juz hit 6 weeks today & starting to experience what u gals r feeling... Ms kicking in, puke tis morning and super tired... Plus checkup still 2 weeks later. Seeing u gals checking sac & heartbeat makes me really worried... Hope bb is ok.
Mama_Ling, I've got a gynae but I'm totally new to this package thingy. He did mention that he will let me know about OSCAR scan and etc in my 2nd appointment. So I'll see what he offers, then seek your advice here. Hee.
Mifmif, don't worry. You are more experienced since you are a 2nd time mummy already. My gynae's machine doesn't even allow me to listen to heartbeat, I think. Haha.
I bought guava juice and 100 plus to standby for my water intake for today already! Haven't had a chance to buy & slice lemons yet. Keke.
Thx mamaling, juz today i felt horrible. Feeling abit feverish too.thx for ur consolation. Gd idea to get 100 plus.. I shld get it later. Didn't manage to drink alot of water too, juz feel nauseous...
JLJ, so you will be going to Dr A Woodworth tonight. Must prep you. He is a man of few words. U have to prepare your list of questions and ask him. Or write down your questions on a piece of paper and show him, he will answer one by one. His consultations are always very quick, so if you don't prepare in advance, you will be out of his room in less than 2 mins
He is a very steady doc, but you have to get used to his style. His consultation package is quite reasonable and you can start the package from Day 1, unlike other gynae where you can only start from week 12/20? But I find his new delivery package a little pricey. But then again, I haven't really compared his delivery package with other gynaes.
Mifmif: You better rest and see doc if you are not feeling well. MS + falling sick + active boy to look after is a terrible combination.
Mrs Heng, my sis-in-law told me can drink. Last time her gynae asked her to drink 100 plus as she was puking too much and can't drink water. I guess drinking 100 plus is better than not drinking water at all and we might get dehydrated. I think water is still the best, but I don't know why, just cannot stand the taste of water now.
mamaling, if prepare a list in advance for sure will be a long long list, haha, too much questions to ask >< but anyway after lunch will prepare a list just in case.
Since this is your #1, I think he will be understanding. You should just pass the list of questions to him to speed up the process. Hahaha. If you ask him whether can eat this or can do this, he will say everything also can. Anything also can eat/drink, incl sashimi and coke. His rationale is Japs also eat sashimi and their kids are all born so cute.
Yes, sun_tan/sasayeo, that an tai yao is Utrogestan!!! So it is a hormones pill. I don't know what is it. haha...
Just now I ate yong tau foo half way full and feel like puking. Then I went to buy guava with suan mei fen, WOW! so nice!!! I find guave with suan mei fen can curb my nausea!! Everyone go try eating this when you feel nausea, really help!!
Mamaling, i juz had tom yum soup for lunch. Felt much better nw. Thx!
Jaj, i like guava with suan mei powder too but din noe can curb MS, will try tml.
Mrs Heng, same here leh. No mood to work. Don't know how to pass another 8 months. sigh. I already planning my ML liao... I will take a new week like start on Monday, easier to count.
i only craving for steamboat/shabu shabu, cant take in any spicy or fried food at all Just told my mama this morning, missing her steamboat haha. Everyday only can eat soupy food and fruits
I need help from the mummies here. My hcg not doubling but slow in raising. At first I was told by nurses if everything is ok, my baby gonna due end of this year but seems not so ok now.
This is my first pregnancy. I did my first hcg blood test on week 4 which shown a reading of 162.9 and the nurse told me that it is quite low where they are looking at 250 (kkh). For the 2nd hcg blood test, i got a result of 192.9 which was two days later. The nurse again said low on the borderline.
I am quite worry about this. Is there anyone know how to increase hcg level naturally others than med? They have given me oral med 10mg 2x per day duphaston to be taken for one month time. My the other question what is the chances of survival for my fetus? Did anyone ever encounter this in early pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby at the end?
Thanks a million if someone can really share with me their experience and how I should cope with this. Feel helpless and restless recently due to this hcg stress.
Anyone feel sleepy after taking the progesterone pills? They made me feel very nua and sleepy. These few days I feel like a piggy.. Eat sleep eat sleep. Doc gave me 2 days mc so I'm resting at home.
Niko michi: u must stay positive..it's better for u n the bb. For my case I had cramp n bleeding n last sat my sac size is only 6mm which the gynae say it's not optimistic. I am going for another checkup this sat. I m trying to stay positive. If the bb is fated to b my bb it will s I m trying to sustain it. If not I may try again for the next pregnancy. Dun feel too overly depress s it's fated sometimes nothing's hinges u can't control. Hope every MTb with issues will b solve n deliver healthy bb by yr end.
<font color="ff6000">E, yours at 6.1mm is good mine is only 3.5mm seems so small. I check baby centre 6.1-8mm seems the norm....sun_tan at 6 weeks 6 days is 8.5mm. Dunno why mine so small....DH and I are both not small size leh.</font>
Next scan only in 2 weeks....i hope the size will grow healthily.
<font color="0000ff">sasayeo, dun eat too much soy or bean curd (not sure if your egg curd is same thing?) heard not good. I also abstaining from my fav steamboat and korean bbq as fear of uncooked food will have bacterial attack which is very dangerous to the embryo.</font>
I don even know whether If i had miscarriage until sat check up. Hope I will b lucky this time. Still bleeding n cramp but lessen Liao..always feel hungry n some fatigue...
Thanks JAJ..i tink whole pregnancy us kinda worrying untill the bb is safety deliver..it's nature...I oso hope every single of us here will have a safe n smooth pregnancy!!!
I'm asking a silly question here. (I realized I didn't ask the gynae any question during my first visit. Goondu me.)
How do we 'decipher' the ultrasound film? On the top there is 3.5mm Pen., then at the bottom right there is GS 0.70cm. So which is the size you ladies are referring to?
