Thanks heartbeats and Bbjourney!!!
*wave like a mad woman*
CARE will do the monitoring for me for the next few weeks at least. Following that (or maybe concurrently), I'll probably stay with Dr Paul first and see how it goes. So far, the experience with him has been good. My only concern now is the terrible parking at TMC, hahah.. My previous gynae also at TMC so I've definitely had a taste of the parking there!

Heartbeats, dr loh has not do any growth scan for me leh. Normally he will measure baby's heartbeats, baby's length n check my cervical length. Last visit he initiated to check my baby's gender, but my baby busy moving ard, so not confirm. I going for my detail scan this sat.
When is ur detail scan? Read in the other thread that ur boy's placenta is low, pls take extra care, dont walk too much n rest as much as possible.

Bbjourney and Angel, when did your bloating start to subside after your BFP? This morning, my bloating seems to have gone down a little and made me so worried. I guess I just donno whether it's a normal "going back to usual size" or whether it's a sign that hCG levels are dropping. I hope it's the former!

Coolcool, i did not gain any weight at all. In fact i m below my pre-pregnancy weight now. 
Recently Dr Loh did not measure my baby's length. The last measurement was done ard week15+, my baby is 10cm+.
If u and ur hubby are small size, then your baby may be on the smaller side. As long as your gynea did not raise any concern, think all is fine. But hor, my hubby n me are big size, so i kan giong when i compared my baby's measurement against BabyCenter's chart. So far dr loh did no say anything so i try not to worry too much.

CoolCool, Babyjourney, i dont have weight gain, in fact, i was 5kg lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight due to MS and now though put back on about 1-2kg, i am still below pre-pregnancy weight so am worrying.
Luv, growth scans checks for weight of babies. Normally start doing in 2nd trimester. Normal CRL measurement docs will still do at every scan. My recent CRL scan no measurement so i also dont know how now.

Hazel, yes been thinking about it. I need to look through my H&S plan again & compare with other company's products, then discuss with hubby if we want to upgrade or buy additional. Also going to check out savings plan for our baby.
Luv, welcome here!! So far my hubby manages to park at the open air car park opposite TMC. No complains from him. He will drop me off first at TMC, then while he parks, I go up to the clinic to queue & do routine test. He then join me for the appt. After that, I will wait for him to fetch the car and pick me up.
As for bloating, mine subsides very quickly after my BT result but I think it's attributed to the an tai yao that I took. I think your hcg level is very good. If worried, request to do a repeated BT to check hcg and progesterone? Just need to draw blood once and can test both the hormones. Hcg level should roughly double every 2 days in the initial period.

Luv, after i was informed of my BFP reasults, i went down to TFC to collect my meds for support on the same day. The next appointment was scheduled at week6 to scan for baby's heartbeats. Like you i was worried abt my hcg level and I wanted to recheck my hcg level one week later but did not managed to do it. My MS started soon after BFP. Very 夸张 hor. Heheheh...
Oh wats ur progesterone reading?

Hey Angel!! Thanks for the welcome
Your DH is very patient and caring to drop u off and pick u up.
I'm a bit more reassured to hear that your bloating subsided quite soon too. Are u still taking an tai yao? I just finished my last dose of an tai yao today. But my TCM doc out of town liao. Gotta wait for him to get back.
Yeah, will most likely do a repeat test this Thu. Not sure if they'll test hCG again next week. Will check.

Coolcool, Heartbeats, Bbjourney,
I think I gained the most weight compared to you all.. Already gained 3+ kg as at last Sat. I am worried I am gaining too much..really don't want to get too fat coz I am small size, so will look like a round pingpong ball. Nowadays, even passerbys will take care not to bump into me or ask me how many months Liao? Boy or girl? I feel so embarrassed to say I am only 19 wks..and gender not confirmed yet.
My detailed scan is next Tue, so hope to confirm gender then. Already bought many baby gap clothes (the discount so good and clothes so cute, i simply can't resist!!) so hope Dr Loh's scan of my baby likely gender is correct. As for growth scan, Dr did not tell me about it leh. As for CRL, he said that because baby has started to curl up a bit during the last scan, it's not accurate already.

I didn't experience nausea till Week 6 or so in my first pregnancy. I'm surprised I already feel nauseous at times and sensitive to certain smells this past week. But it reassures me that baby or babies are still inside me.
I didn't ask abt my progesterone reading, cos i was so focused on my hCG reading, hahah.. They just said prog level is good and only need to keep up the same support so far. No additional support yet leh. What support meds did u get?

Luv, actually I think my MS is considered mild, just had some nauseous feelings on and off, esp in the evenings.. I puked 3-4 times so far which were mostly triggered by certain smells. Now, I am feeling v good, occasionally might have sudden nauseous feeling but that goes away fast too. How about you? Is your MS manageable?
Angel, good to know that your MS is not too bad. Lucky you! You're in 2nd tri now right? Enjoy the "honeymoon period"!
I don't think I have full-blown MS yet. Nausea usually triggered by certain smells or when I'm brushing my teeth (strange huh). No real puking so far thankfully.
heartbeat and angelxuan...u are still below your pre-preg weight..wow...I am starting to afraid that I will gain alot of weight as my tummy is so pretty obvious now at wk 9....zzzz
even with my crazy MS, my weight does not seems to go down.
Also, thanks all sistars here for your encouragement on Oscar scan. I have made the appt in early Jul but will go for BT next Tue. The nurse told me that twins needs to scan longer and not all doctors know how to do it..

Bbjourney, thanks for sharing the support meds u have at TFC. Is progynova a standard support med? Or was it cos you were taking it during your cycle?
mc, your tummy is more obvious cos you have two inside mah
Siddhi, think it shld be alright to stop taking brazil nuts. May be too heaty if u take too much too.

this whole morning since now i so busy with lots of stuff.. i think i hv over-exerted myself over the wkn.. i walked too much (wanted to do more shopping of my personal and bbies stuff) but ended up terribly tired... now my left hip bone so painful that i am walking with a slight limp...
none of u can fight me in terms of wt gain! i gained 12kg as of this morning... i am not comparing with you all lah.. but with such heavy wt i am experiencing more aching problems and breathlessness.. like what heartbeats shared in the other forum, i cant relax till at least bbies past 28 weeks...
even till today, i still puke... not sure if this is MS.. come meal time always a chore for me and my hubby (who has to buy dinner for me) coz i really dont know what to eat.. every night i will puke a bag of my dinner out.. i think baby boy is too high up affecting my digestion.. btw, i tried a pre-natal massage at paragon.. service so so.. going to try house of traditional javanese massage soon, as recommended by one sister..
just now spring maternity called and said will deliver the baby cot this fri.. i was wondering, is it "inauspicious" to set up the baby cot so early? but if i tell them dont need to assemble, then my hubby got to do the job later (dont know if he can do it or not).. angelxuan, u also bgt a new cot right? what will your arrangement be? sorry i asked such silly question...

MC, it's Bbjourney, not me.. I am above my pre-pregnancy weight. I am also afraid of too much weight gain. Oscar scan is not risky at all and can see your babies longer & clearer. I am sure you & hubby will enjoy it!
Siddhi, congrats & welcomed! For me, I didn't continue with Brazil nuts after getting my bfp results.

Angel, oh ya i also hv Crinone inserts. I know i m missing something but cant recall what it is. Lucky u hv good memory.
Luv, dr loh started me on progynova cos i had spotting during stimulation and dr loh was still worried for me after BFP so he want me to continue with progynova after BFP. I stopped progynova after first trimester. Now i am on utrogeston.

Cockcock, I requested for the delivery of my baby's cot to be a month before my EDD. That's still many months away. If you want to postpone, it should be do-able.
I heard that as long as I stay out of the house when they deliver & assemble, it should be alright. Just have to trust hubby will check the cot carefully since i can't be around, Actually I also prefer to prepare the baby room earlier and don't want my hubby to tire himself out if we do so last minute.

Will ms go away when we reach week 13 onwards, can anyone advise or it depends on individual?? I am really counting down to three more weeks till I hit week 13!
I really hate my ms, cannot eat a proper meal w/out feeling nausea, it gets worst during dinner, losing weight. At least with this ms I know my bb is alright, that is the only reassurance...
Congrats luvnhope on your BFP...

Hi Siddhi, congrats and welcome to the thread.

Angel, 3 kg is ok la. not too much.

Of course there are others whose MS continues all the way (like one of my frens, poor her). So it really depends on the individual. Why don't you try eating little portions and eat whatever that can go down? Make sure u don't go hungry.
Angel, i recall reading that recommended weight gain during entire preg is ard 12kg. You're in tri 2. 3kg is reasonable lah.

Luv, I saw him once... Juz b4 I deliver. My gynae is Eunice Chua. Same clinic as dr tseng. I feel he sees patient v fast and patients all like have smiling faces. I heard that he is expert in vbac and if he touch yr tummy he know the weight of bb. But he was wrong to guess I will deliver within the period specified by him haha
