Do you know why?
 
Wah, vibrator??? That's gross. I always dress down during weekends, shorts and t-shirt while my maid dress up during weekends. So I look more like maid. LOL

MTBs.. you can always get those dry shampoo from Watson or Sephora, it works!! of course, not as clean as you wash it but it doesn;t give you the oily feeling on your hair!

I missed my office teambuilding today coz on mc.. Somemore is with group of kakis.. Two weeks later still hv another session BUT not with grp of kakis.. B*ring....
 
<font color="aa00aa">minnieluv, your memory not bad uh... Yup my scan dates the sac at Wk6,0days. My gynae did not make any "bad" comments about the fact there was nothing but the sac. He only say "uh, growing nicely there." *points to screen* "size is good, exactly 6 weeks as expected". "See u in 2 weeks, by then we should be able to see the baby already". He say lidat I oso forget ask him why cannot see fetal pole at Wk6.

The only bad news that is nagging me after I left is clinic is "blighted ovum". (super toes and fingers crossed it's not) I don't want to think about this or scare ourselves so early on. In fact, that day when I had tummy aches, I felt like running into a nearby gynae clinic for a scan just to make sure there is a fetal pole in the sac!

IMHO, after doing my research: Whilst we read those development thing, they say actually can see fetal pole by wk6. But it could be our sacs are not really 6wk old yet, could be 5 wks + so, fetal pole is not devloped yet. The ultrasound size and dating is all estimate as we might be 1 wk +/- from the wk 6 (which we are suppose to be in).

my dearest gal, let's not scare ourselves even thou I feel the jitters myself (after hearing all the gals here see HB &amp; fetus). So I am waiting for my next appt at wk 8 (actually my gynae wanted to see me only at wk 7 so can see HB and all but I went in early due to spotting).
happy.gif


The last non scientific comfrot I give myself is:
At wk 6, the sac is size of a sweet pea. Tummy scan maybe see less or the angle is "wrong" so can only see sac. ;p</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">missy, fetal pole= fetus=baby.
happy.gif


I was looking at the US pictures found online. Usually at week 6, they would do a v-scan. Cos it gives a better overall look to the sac (can see more details. For my first preg, at wk 6, the v-scan showed the fetus. But for this round, I did a tummy scan but at wk 6 looks like only got sac...http://www.baby2see.com/development/ultrasound_sonogram/first_trimester_scans.html#week6

Minnieluv, I think ur gynae is asking u to go back within 1-2wks for another scan right? Dun worry ok?</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">minnieluv, I found some online stuff which might make u feel more assured:

1. "The fetal pole is a thickening on the margin of the yolk sac of a fetus during pregnancy. It is usually identified at 6.5 weeks with abdominal ultrasound imaging, and 6 weeks with vaginal ultrasound imaging. However it is quite normal for the fetal pole to not be visible until about 9 weeks. The fetal pole may be seen at 2–4 mm crown-rump length (CRL), and heart motion is often detected when it is seen. In the embryo, the heartbeat is seen as a regular flutter, which should be first evident at 5 mm CRL. If the embryo is less than 5 mm CRL, it is possible for it to be healthy without showing a heartbeat, though a follow up study in 5–7 days will almost always demonstrate the heartbeat"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_pole

2. 5 ½ to 6 ½ weeks is usually a very good time to detect either a fetal pole or even a fetal heart beat by vaginal ultrasound. The fetal pole is the first visible sign of a developing embryo. This pole structure actually has some curve to it with the embryo’s head at one end and what looks like a tail at the other end. The fetal pole now allows for crown to rump measurements (CRL) to be taken, so that pregnancy dating can be a bit more accurate. The fetal pole may be seen at a crown-rump length (CRL) of 2-4mm, and the heartbeat may be seen as a regular flutter when the CRL has reached 5mm.

If a vaginal ultrasound is done and no fetal pole or cardiac activity is seen, another ultrasound scan should be done in 3-7 days. Due to the fact that pregnancy dating can be wrong, it would be much too early at this point to make a clear diagnosis on the outcome of the pregnancy

wow thks snowhopes for e info!
i only schedule my first appt on abt 8wk3days... cos mum &amp; MIL both say no need so early go gynae... yet hearing all u al say abt scan etc is making me v excited lo... can't wait!!
 
My gynae did a v scan for me.. It shows 6weeks4days.. Also dont hav fetal pole.. But if i calculated myself only 5wks.. Hope to c heartbeat during nxt scan..
 
<font color="aa00aa">Josky, yah actually no need to go so early de. In e meantime, rem to take folic everyday!
happy.gif
go too early will end up like see e sac on the US photo... :p

S_loh, the scan dating is usually based on the measurement of the sac size. Anyway based on the stuff I pasted in my earlier post, seeing and not seeing is within acceptable norm! ;) </font>
 
Eh evening all,
Kids all in bed, so!!!

Been to gynae and decided I'll stick with him :D

Nick: chipsnchops
Bb #: 3
EDD: 17/01/2013
Gynae: Douglas Ong
Hospital: Mt A or Mt E

Gynae said ok to travelling but use discretion loh... If start to spot then don't go... Oh well, it's two more weeks and I'm praying hard it'll all be alright and the trip will be a relaxing one!

Minnieluv, canopyhaze
I rem early weeks it's common not to see much except the sac. Pray hard, and it'll be all right!!
 
Ooops typo
Snowhopes, not canopyhaze...

Sahm
Lol, I hated it at first, ESP in the first two month after delivering my #1... I used to work till 10pm daily and loved every moment of it!! Working is so much more ego stoking, really... I get paid, I get affirmation, I get to go shopping after work, I get to feelvery good about myself...

Took me a few years to get used to it, but I wouldn't exchange my time with my family with any amount of pay rise :D now...

There are good days and there are bad days, as in any days at work. Only difference I dont feel any lingering regret at the end of any day that I hadn't spent enough time with my kiddoes
 
<font color="aa00aa">I got diarrhea AGAIN!!!!

Fullhouse, thanks for the assurance! Later help u update! any other gals wanna be in the list?</font>
 
SAHM
I'm loving my Job as SAHM, Quit my job since I found out that I'm pregnant with #1... I take care of my bb by myself.. Hub will help out after work.. we share house chore, and my hubby don't like me to cook cos he has to wash the plates! He rather eat out.. We are very used to eating out even before we are married...

Ally
U can fly to Aussie even in 3rd trim, airline cut off is ard 28 weeks... With gynae approval letter

Helper
I considered having a helper but I dont know helper can sleep where... House small lah...
 
Just finished puking again while bathing. For #1, mine is ADS, but for this bb, I only puke once a day when bathing, the rest of the day seems like as if I m not pregnant.
 
<font color="aa00aa"> canopy, is it cos of yr bath soap? Sometimes scents can trigger our nausea.

Jus now told hb I feel like seeing neighbourhood gynae/doc bcos my diarrhea like quite bad cos aft poo poo my tummy still discomfort liddat. Actually cos I wan to scan again... For assurance... Wahaha. But my poo poo habit quite bad. I can tummy ache whole day and b constipated. If lucky, I will get my loose stools else jus waste time in toilet...

Canopy
Ok one new scent I can, surprisingly, no longer tolerate is rosemary! I make my own pasta sauce usually with fresh rosemary. The day I suspected I could be preg I nearly puked at the smell of it... So I agree with snowhopes, it could be a new sensitivity to common scent

Snowhopes
I have diarrhoea every day
sad.gif
 
Snow: I think so, I m very sensitive to scent now, even toothpaste will make me sick. By the way, don't worry too much co's it's not healthy, wait till your gynae check next wk.
 
today went out walk walk.. took mrt from punggol &amp; change ccl to promenade... feel like puking while in train.. got plastic bag but damn paiseh so end up tahan until my face turn like duno what....

s_loh: sahm is stay at home mum
 
Ally:
Oicc I think pinoy more qiao generally, the 3 units surrounding mine all indo maids only my plc no maid todate. Most likely fr Aug I won't be working le coz my due date is during term time boss usually won't give then following new sem bb be only 3 mths I wan have more bonding so will only return to Parttime job if ever earliest midoct 2013. Unless I really soooooo noble to give up entirely my job &amp; take care of 2 myself but it's unless Hb let me control finance if not I feel very insecure losing my livelihood . If sahm need have a gp kakis then fun

Tailbone pain=> I also don't know y, &amp; Gynae has no idea at all . For 1st preg it started when my boy was7wks, &amp; worsen at 3rd trimester then still need go to Chiro .

Full house/ hammiebao :
SAHM => but u both won't feel bored at initial stage?
