Hello everyone, I've been a silent reader so far. Dare not join in this thread till the 12 weeks is over.
Just wanted to share that I bought the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" at Kinokuniya for $24.10 - one of the rare times that I think cheaper than book depository.
Hope to join you all officially on this thread soon!

Koirc, don't worry. In my trimester 1, I had craving for yong Tao foo. Ate it daily for breakfast.

Koirc, yah everything in moderation. I have gf, conceived via ivf too, had sashimi, kimchi, soya bean milk throughout, even in 1st trimester. She lagi worse. Only these food gives her no ms. So imagine the amount she takes in.

Sade- the wait was short for the detailed scan.
This round, I went at 8 to get queue no. Luckily I did that. By 830, already a lot of ppl.
For my oscar, I was silly - went at 830 which was the printed opening time on the oscar paper, and I had to wait for abt 3 hours.
Scan went well and I was happy to see baby wriggling and kicking
.
I asked alice yesterday abt the ward and she said book in end nov also ok. But I wasn't convinced cos my friends in other clinics were able to book earlier. Will go check it out again.

Oh, sisters... I have something about pantang stuff to ask. That day at my parents' place, I was lying down with my hands stretched above my head. My mum told me not to put my hands so high up. I forgot to ask her why. Does anyone know the reason?
I always stretch my body when I wake up. And even more so during pregnancy...

Koirc, looks like my meals hv been very boring. My mum is the modern kind. Everything can eat but in moderation. Dh is the no this no that. Haha...mayb i input too much 'knowledge' to him liao.
Wah going see baby in 2 days time!!! I regret not asking dh to video the whole scanning process. Haha... Told him detailed scan must video. Then i can see daily.
Do you gals have cravings? I find eating a chore daily...cos have no cravings, so duno what i want to eat. And with this hot weather, the only cravings i have is cold drinks. Few days back, bought Pokka carrot juice, non cold, and i feel so great drinking it even its not cold. Haha....think i'm desperate liao. So this weekend goign to stock up more of such canned drinks,
Talking about soya bean milk. I cant drink those from Mr Bean. Will feel giddy after that. But can take those canned drinks soya bean. Got difference meh? But then again, dun take too much soya bean cos it cause may infertility in baby next time. Especially affecting the boys.

Whiteclover, you mean detailed scan we also have to walk-in? Cannot make appt? Cos when i was there for oscar, i saw some ladies book their detailed scan. But the counter lady din ask me to book. Do you think we can call in to book ourselves instead wait for O&G?
Koirc, my mum told me that too!!!! But she told me not to stretch at later stage of the preg. So tell me if can, try to go salon wash hair.... Cos usually after a wash at salon, can last for few days.... The reason she gv was that by raising hands above head, can cause umblical cord to tangle round bb's neck.

Chevy, i used to have lots of cravings. But now that im preg, all cravings gone. And yes, food is now to fill tummy and provide nutrients for baby. If given a choice, i wish i can dun eat. Just pour into my tummy and close up.

Reikibaby, o&g will make appt for u. Mine was originally today, followed by appt with dr loh in afternoon. But cos last min dr loh move appt to yesterday, that is why I got to go and queue instead.
Whiteclover, oops silly phone, posted same msg twice. Was saying good that bb is cooperative during scan. I read in jan 2013 forum that some of the ladies had alrdy booked their ward. So thou can book. But alice din do it for you? Hmmm, me going to pester her during my next visit. haha. Maybe they are new so they might not know that can book the ward now.

Whiteclover, oh ok..then will leave to them to make appt for me.
Can we drink Vitagen? Goat milk?

Heard before abt the hand raising issue from other threads, but with no reason given. Come to think of it, when doing prenatal yoga, there is hand raising too.
As for craving, i had lot of craving during first trimester. But now, not much. just eat whatever is available. haha.
Reikibaby, I dont think that can record the detailed scan, cos in the room there are 3 signs one of which is no recording.

Reikibaby, for milk, must be pasteurised then can.
Vitagen ok. Sade - I also think they may be clueless. Let me know if u manage to book in your next appt.
Btw, I was quite surprised when I saw got patient at o&g clinic yesterday doing iui and blood test. I thot supposed to do these at tfc instead at o&g.

My hubby is as clueless as me lor. Only that time when I told him I ate sushi, he scolded me. But I say sushi ok what. It's cooked mah. I didn't eat the raw stuff. 
Reikibaby, I still can't seem to reconcile how stretching affects the umbilical cord. Anyway, I think it's ok to take vitagen. I take that every day to help with digestion. Eh, hope I'm not doing something wrong again.

Reikibaby, I think it is week 16 onwards. Before u sign, the recep will ask u to sign off on a form that the package
- can only be used on scheduled doctor's visit
Aso for emergency or last min scan or scan that we request for- cannot be used.
- covers consultation, the urine test and simple scan
3d and 2d scan not included
- non refundable
But point 1 - I am not sure if we request thru dr loh that we want to see if every 2 weeks, if it is considered scheduled dr visit. By right, should right? If u call and request thru nurse, sure cannot.

Sade- yes I signed up yesterday.
recep actually discouraged me from signing. I think they don't volunteer this info abt the package unless u ask them abt it.

Whiteclover and sade, hmm why so funny one... But worth it to sign right? I intend to ask dr Loh about the package at my next visit lei.

I thought usually clinic will ask to sign package? Maybe cos they dun earn as much? The package is $750 right? On top still hv gst?
I also intend to tell dr loh i want see him every 2weeks. Then if he schedule it, considered as dr scheduled appt. Heee

Hi Koric,
my MIL and aunts also mentioned abt the hand raising issue but I've no choice cos need to hang clothes on the ceiling hanger, been doing that...
Did OSCAR test today. Baby refused to get into position and very active, got to shake my body, cough and finally finished the US scanning after 1 hr ... But my doctor said I need not do the blood test as IVF case usu the hormone level will be slightly off...Did you all do the blood test?

tried to make the home-made chicken essence today. I look at the black chicken and almost cry out... I dare not cut it, it's scary. Still need to remove the organs inside
I stared at it for some time before I pluck up the courage to cut it up. After that my legs were wobbly.... haha to think I'm a bio student...I told my hb, this is the last time to use whole chicken...

Znatasha its better to buy at market. You can ask them to remove the skin n cut into smaller pieces. It's only $5. Or if u buy at supermarket u can also ask them to cut into pieces for u.
Black chicken is more bu than white chicken.
I also feel gross when cleaning the chicken but no choice..we r all promoting to be mum so have to learn.
