Josky, I'm 30 this year, does that makes me fall in the high risk range/grp? I also heard from other ladies here that the detailed scan is a must, but I also not too sure abt that. However, I do wanna go for the detailed scan to know exactly how my baby develops
Tigress, 12 weeks seems early to know the gender? I'm not going for Oscar but seeing my gynae this sat when I'm into my 12weeks, do u know if my gynae can still find out my bb's gender?

Ok, will drink in moderation.
chrysanthemum tea and Barley water - i tried not to drink, even from canned drinks. But 'moderation' is the key word.

Fullhouse: so Oscar is just scan n blood test while amino is e one tt draw fluid fr waterbag? I dun want e draw fluid test unless no choice. That sounds super scary...
Jo and Liz: if ur baby is "cooperative", u may be able to see e gender at week 12. I saw my boy's (#1) sausage at 11+ weeks. It's easier to identify a boy earlier than a girl.

Both blood test and scan. The scan is also called the NT test (nuclar transluncency) to measure the thickness of back of neck bone (okok I'm not medical professional, but as far as I can rem from sat two preg.). I think the thickness should not exceed 2.5mm or something...
Based on your age there is a 'risk' like 1 in 1000, the scan and blood test will give a more accurate like 1 in 10 000 chance etc...
It's all risk factor/percentage/number...
Amnio
The invasive procedure to draw amniotic fluid from sac which of course means a risk of miscarriage. This is usually done if you have higher than normal chance from your scans.
Detailed scan at 20 weeks
Important because there are other things to pick up (gender, limb length, cleft palate, growth, heart, kidney, brain etc etc...) abnormal growth..
That's asuch as I rem...disclaimer: my memory fails me at times, please do not hold me accountable for the info. As mentioned the views given above do not come from a healthcare professional. Better ask your gynae for more info..

babbiee,
it won't be easy, but stay strong and positive. BB will feel the positivity and fight the battle together with you

Just read your post! Is it possible to sleep early and wake up early to do what you have to do? Else it must be so tiring to sleep so late!

<font color="0000ff">fullhouse, the info is *bingo*! But I not sure about the norm for measurement of the thickness (forgot the norm measurement soon aft the sonographer say its normal). I rem that during the scan, the sonographer will also take a look at the face structure of the baby. Cos the sonographer told me DS babies/kids have a certain facial feature.
For both Oscar and detailed scan, the baby got to be cooperative and be in the right position for sonographer to scan what needs to be seen... else the mummy maybe sent walking around to try to "shift" the baby's position... ;p
Gender:
There are some gynaes who do not want to comment about gender earlier in case some pple hold them responsible. but it's true that it's easier to tell a boy earlier cos the didi will be sticking out there... For girls, you need to see the 3 lines (labia lines).
Trivia:I read somewhere that male and female fetus actually have the same set of items downthere. Just that the male one grows outwards while the female one shrinks inwards instead. (that's why the cervix actually look like the male didi head)....</font>

</font>Gender: I also was informed of my no1's gender during Oscar scan. Agreed that boy easier to see.
Blood test for Oscar: I think even if not going for Oscar, gynae will still need us to undergo some blood tests for preg and if going for Oscar, the nurse will draw additional 1 or 2 tubes. All in the same session.
Hubby said it's better to go for whatever tests recommended. Oscar, detailed scanning or Amnio if the results for first 2 not favorable. We just want to be prepared, be it good or bad. The earlier we know of the outcome, the more time we have to prepare ourselves with more reading or research.. Really boils down to Personal preference, there is no real compulsory test that gynae can force one to go...

Thks purple_rain, ok will drink in moderation, I still thought I can buy those individually packed chrysanthemum powder and just add water to drink… I’m so sick and tired of Milo that I ran out of drinks to drink… since Gynae said avoid coffee, no tea, soft drinks and milk…

I went to Kkh 24 hr clinic last fri and was resting on bed since due to the cramps at lower abdominal. Doc so humorous to describe the pain like someone stabbing u and pulling out the intestine and these are normal!
So bored keep lying on bed and also having heart burn and feel like vomitting. My no#1 does not have cramps. Luckily I'm not working now if not will keep taking mc

Hope you're feeling ok now. Rest more
Jo
Woke up several times last night too, and now I'm awake and exhausted
Chinese food
Was at paradise yesterday and all I could drink was half a bowl of soup, couple of diced meat and I felt sick the whole night. Maybe I should just stay away from Chinese for the time being

Hey me too. We are renovating mid July. Do you have a helper? Or anyone to help you pack? Or just get those moving service to help you pack? It's more exp but at your state it's better to chill a little.
Am moving out mid July then moving back in mid sept.. Crazy... I hope I get the house settled before I deliver!

Only tmc huh? My gynae is at mt e. Will chat and chat and chat, even if you have no questions. I think he spaces his patients far apart most of the time. Really nice guy and he delivers at mt e and mt a... he specialises in fetal medicine so I think he's pretty good.
