I'll go find out more on BabyPlus
My hubby is quite an "au naturale". He even says last time pregnant women also didn't have ultrasound scans and babies also popped out like that. Ha! But that was LAST time, I said. Have to see what he thinks about this new gadget (at least new to me ;p).
wendy, I thought you can ask you gynae on the EDD when you visited?

Tell them only when you feel comfortable
My office environment is quite healthy and I’m sure my boss will let me share this news with the rest only when I’m ready to tell them. This is my 2nd pregnancy; my last was a miscarriage few months ago.
If that’s your lingering question on EDD, you can always ask I don’t usually wait for gynae to tell me everything.
DH = Dear Hubby/Husband.

Augustbee: sorry to hear abt ur mc. I'm sure this rainbow baby of yours will be yours to keep and hold come July/Aug 2013! Hugs! Have u calculated ur edd? Mine is ard 20 Aug according to baby center mobile app. Have u ladies downloaded that app yet? It's quite informative and tracks ur beanie every single day inside u
Wendy: Ic. For me, I dun travel for my job so I will just see how long more I can tahan b4 I tell my boss n nosy colls
Just to ensure baby is stable b4 I tell them. Luckily I will be clearing a few days of leave in Dec so I will take the chance to rest more. Booked gynae appt on 2 Jan, @ week 7 as Dec is fully booked. Looking forward to see my baby's heartbeat then!

I was googling and it says the BabyPlus is to be used twice a day, 1 hr every session. So I wonder if I still need to let the baby hear any other sounds.(too much maybe).
I happen to see that it costs USD140-150 on some USA sites which I have access to. But mostly already out of stock.

Thanks TTCing. I'm staying positive
Based on my ovulation date, my EDD is 12Aug. My gf just delivered her first baby and it was 2.5 weeks earlier than her EDD. So ya, mine could possibly pop in July too! I also want that app but my old fashion blackberry has limited performance. I'll be upgrading it to android end of this month so I can have it downloaded then
7weeks is a good time to catch sight of the beanie! My first appt is next Wed. Hope can catch the flickering heartbeat on the screen. I will be 6wk2dy.

Hi all. Congrats to all that are expecting.. This will be my 2nd pregnancy but i lost my first one at almost week 10. So now I'm quite excited yet super worried at the same time. I'm now in week 6 and is seeing the gynae next week. Like the last time, the morning sickness is terrible. Wish I can just stay in bed and not work. Hahaha..
Congrats Oisterbaby! Stay positive ya! btw can i know if u hv spotting problems for ur #1? I'm quite worried abt my #2 cos i hv some spotting problems for 2days before my menses is due...
Haha.. i also wish to stay on the bed.. cant wake up in the morning.. btw u may ask ur doc to prescribe some medicine that will help with pregnancy.. the doc in KK gave me some.. hv to eat for 2wks but i dont hv the name of the medicine..

Hi Rachyo.. Thank you. I have zero spotting for the previous pregnancy so it was very surprising when we did not see the hb anymore at week 11 and I was still having the morning sickness.
Dun worry too much about the spotting.. Just take care of yourself.

Congrats Babyxi & Oisterbaby!Yeah keep the positivity going. Likewise, I lost mine at 13 weeks... now am newly preggie at 5wk+. My last nausea was bad too. Lost weight. Now, seems to be ok but maybe it's too early. *fingers crossed*.
Catherine, I did OSCAR in my first pregnancy. Result wasn't ideal and I lost the baby shortly (just one week later). Didnt do the invasive test then. I read that such invasive tests are recommended for ladies beyond 35 and also have had chromosome pregnancy before. So I thought I fit into it. But in anyway, I will consult my gynae is due time.

AugustBee, thanks!
Yup yup..positive thinking!!
My gynae mentioned that my bb this time is abit small as he spend sometime to find and was abit worried initially but after talking to my mum, I feel better.
As for spotting, try not to walk too much and sit or bed rest as much as possible. I too had spotting and cramping for my #1 during the 1st tri and it doesn't help with a terrible ms. I was on HL for two months. That is really a low period of my life.
Hope we all have a smooth 9months ahead!

I just did another test, it's positive so I've made gynae appointment on 10 Jan coz he's fully booked till then. Based on LMP, I'm at wk4 now. I've not told anyone except hubby, and the sales person at GNC coz I bought prenatal vitamins today. I'll announce to my family this weekend. Friends probably after wk12.
Regarding prenatal education, for #1 I only listened to classical music at times. Too lazy to read. Didn't get BabyPlus coz I felt it's rather ex. My #1 is an alert and active girl.
@TTCing, are you seeing Dr Henry Cheng too? I remember seeing your post at the thread about him.

usaginoko: yup, I am seeing him since late Sept. R u seeing him too? Heard that he is on vacation from 11-21 Dec and after that he is fully booked till 8 Jan. Maybe someday we will bump into each other in his clinic unknowingly
Do u intend to deliver at Mt A and how old is ur #1? Seem like we have quite a lot of mummies here with #1
Catherine: I m considering to buy the BabyPlus as I have also heard so much abt it but maybe to get a 2nd hand one instead as it is too ex. Do u know where to get a good 2nd hand one?

So sorry to hear of those who had mc...but great that you ladies are having #2. congrats...
Erm this is my #1 and I'm worried about MC!
Is there something that triggered your mc or could have been prevented? Or you just mc with no symptoms no warning?
I think we'll be quite devastated if it happens
not sure if theres something we can do to avoid...
i've already told both our families and close friends. aiyoh i cannot hide secrets man! haha

@TTCing, yup I'm seeing Dr Henry Cheng. He delivered my #1 who is 1 year old now. I intend to deliver at Mt A for #2 too. That time I did OSCAR at Dr Cheng's was almost $300, include scan, blood test & consultation. Results were poor, so I did invasive tests. Hopefully #2 results better.
My MS haven't started but I feel tired more easily.

usaginoko: ic. I will see if I need to do OSCAR or just do the invasive tests so I heard most OSCAR results are not accurate and costly. Seems to scare mums-to-be but it turns out that the baby is fine.
I am still waiting for my 1st appointment on 2 Jan, a good 3 weeks away! He seems a very detailed and patient gynae and I think i will stick to him till delivery as I would like to deliver at Mt A too.
I dun feel any discomfort except slight abdomenial cramps and sore bbs and feeling sleepy after lunch (but I tend to feel sleepy after lunch anyway before I was pregnant
)
Meanwhile, I will pop folic acid, vit B and more green veg and a fruit every day. Started to drink chicken essence every 2-3 days due to craving and for the strength.

Girls, I need your baby dust! Hope to hop onto the preggy bandwagon for my #2. Testing in a few days' time. Fingers n toes crossed.
Hi Ann, no negative thoughts! Just enjoy your pregnancy every day
usaginoko, may you share more on the invasive test you had? Was it very painful? I read you have to stay in bed as much as possible for 2 days after the procedure.
biscuitin, keeping fingers crossed for you too.
