Lil, dun worry too much. A number of sisters, including myself, also had a sac which didn't develop. Usually it'll get reabsorbed back into our body and won't affect baby. Jiayou!
 
psp, yeah, those with two sacs will have higher hCG levels. But my reading still wasn't as high as those sisters who had developing twins. But also hard to say. One of the sisters Blurxuan's first reading was 400+ but she has twins!
 
Psp: my BT reading only 398. My Tcm still expected to see 2. But only see 1. I already more than happy. Just see my Tcm dr said no very stable yet. Need lot of rest n don't carry heavy thing. Now me have to booster up with Tcm almost daily.
 
lil, good thing you went for earlier scan! sorry to hear about the loss of the other twin, but happy for your healthy little bean. hearing the heartbeat for the first time is amazing right? take extra care these few weeks
 
Thank you so much for the comforting words ladies. Yes, I'm focusing on the positive, my big healthy sac

Babysmurf, the doctor didn't tell me my edd yet. But based on the online calculator, it's 10 June 2013 same as Precious Baby! The other one will be absorb by the uterus naturally but just need to monitor.

Psp, my hcg was 1355 at 13day past d5 transfer. Actually what I understand is it's sometimes not the hcg level that Is indicative but rather how fast they increase.

Precious baby, yes, I'm so relieved. I didn't realised that there are so many more hurdles after BFP. A baby is really a precious miracle!

LuvNHope, thanks for the assurance. I was so naive that I didn't realised that this could happen. Thanks again. Each day we are nearer to see baby

Koirc, thank you. Your baby moon sounds great. My DH dives too and he was just telling me he hopes to go for one more dive because he gets busy with fatherhood!
 
hope: will be 16 weeks on saturday

Feeling sick these few days though, so I think better wait till I get better before I attend the trial yoga class at mother and child.
 
Bb, thank you! It's okay, doctor said its not something a mother did or didn't do. Sometimes, it happens due to chromosom and genetic abnormality. Yes! Seeing that little flutter and making out the heartbeat is very surreal. Can't believe there is another living being inside.
 
Lil really glad that you manage to bring forward ur appt. now you gonna be xtra careful n don't stress urself. Keep toking to ur bb ya. Hugz.
 
Lil, actually now I'm kinda relieved I'm having a singleton rather than twins. Having aches n pains with one already. Can't imagine with two!!
 
Lil, yes! That's what my hubby told me too. You take care ok?

Sade, thanks so much! Got the list.

Happy Friday, ladies!

THanks, dian tang and bb shower, it's okay, I'm feeling okay now. Now trying to be positive, keep busy and don't think so much so that this 1st trimester can be over before I know it!

LuvNHope, actually my DH echo your sentiment. He doesn't think we will be able to cope with 2! I'm beginning to see that! Things just have a way to working out

Joanne - baby carrier got warranty? If have, can ask if warranty starts from purchase or birth. Normally after christmas, usa and sg got a lot of sale on too.

Heard baby carrier more suitable when baby's head is firmer. Sling type may be more suitable if u r using it from birth?
 
Joanne, guess better to buy after they are born cos can bring bb to try it out. I had already bought the sling type as it's cheaper.

Whiteclover, during first Wong BB class, mamil will give free milk sample and a thermal bottle. The quality of the thermal bottle is v bad, it turn rusty after i soaked it overnight with salt in it.
 
Whiteclover, exercise abt 10-15 min rest then exercise then break then massage. If I din rem wrongly. Follow by talk. Actually if u have the Wong bb book, guess its not necessary to go. Me quite regretted to attend the class. Cos felt that can't rem the exercise cos its only practice for a short while. Better to do prenatal yoga.
 
Ladies,

Recently i felt so sleepy in the afternoon in the office, just wondering is the symptoms? I have been sleeping at 10.30pm daily.
 
Hi PSP, my first appt was supposed to be 2.5 weeks after my first bloodtest at the end of my 2ww. But I brought it forward by half a week. When the doctor saw me, he explained that he is not keen to see patients so early because there is nothing much to detect and see.

When I went to see him yesterday, I was 6w+3d and he need to do a vaginal scan instead of tummy scan. It was quite funny in a way because he asked me if I mind. I was like, "doctor after 3iui and ivf, a vaginal scan is nothing to me!" and then I just took off my pants. Ha ha!

Because I got late onset OHSS during my 2ww, I guess my pregnancy symptoms are kind of mixed up with the OHSS symptoms. I had really bad and sharp tummy pain and bloating from OHSS, nausea and diarrhea (which I got bad hemorrhoids as a result, sorry TMI), breathlessness also from OHSS.

Last week, almost all my bloating and pain went away so now I know what happened. So now I have on and off nausea and feeling tired and sleepy by 10pm. Oh yes, I also go to toilet quite frequently but not much pee come out. Sometimes at night, go 2-3 times. My boobs are big and painful and my nipples have darkened.

This is what I can think of so far. Hope that helps.
Please don't worry so much. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. And everything seems so out of our hands so the best thing to do is to relax and stay positive and count our blessings. Take care. Hugs!
 
Ladies - if i make chicken soup with Pao Shen, Red Dates & Wolfberries, no need to put so much pao shen right? How long should I cook? Can use steel pot?
 
Psp and lil Ponyo: sometimes I slept at 9 plus , so sleepy . I just rest when I feel tired .

Hi sisters , will the bust width increase til the final trimester ? Thinking of getting new bra .
 
Ladies, I'm hving brown discharge again. Haizzz. Was told by e nurses that is v common. Waiting for 2 ww scan is really miserable..
 
Joanne r u making pure chicken essence or chicken soup? Its up to u if you want to put more or little pao sheng. Normally will have to boil 4hrs so that soup will be tasty but sometimes I also boil for 2hrs only cos not enough time.

Dian tang, Yes will keep on growing. So have to keep on buying. Just buy those cheaper no underwire bras to wear. No choice cos its important to keep ourselves comfortable during this growing moment.
 
psp, maybe u can request for more progesterone support now that you've tested positive.

diantang, I just use those bra extensions for now.
 
Luv u meant u din buy any bra now? R u wearing underwire bra? Cos all my bras are wired type so That's y have to keep on new non wired type.

PSP what kind of support r u using? Taking utrogestan orally makes one v sleepy. Did doc ask u to bed rest?
 
sade, i'm used to wearing non-wired all along, so not an issue for me. On occasions when i have to wear wired ones, i feel so uncomfortable!! ;p
 
Psp,
Pls go to ur gynae to get more support instead of listening to the nurses cos it may be too late when u see red. Not trying to scare u but prevention better than cure sometimes.
 
Luv Oh I see. No wonder u don't have to buy bras. I also bought bra extension too. Looks funny to wear non wired type initially cos no shape n looks like dumplings. But now gotten use to it.
 
Oh thanks luv and Sade . Nv thought of trying extension .. Good idea !!

Psp: how many weeks you are in ? Try to have more rest and take more support .
 
Luv, cos the ones I bought don't have padding, n shape looks funny.

Dian tang, can buy the extension at those flea market or pasar malam, $1 for one.
 
Sade,
There r those without wires but still padded so the shape still there. I realize also cos I bought some online n they r not padded so end up also like dumpling kekeke
 
Oh, I also dun like non padded ones. Nursing bras r mostly non padded so I only wore them at home or during hospital stay previously.
 
Psp, please take care and call the doctor. Tell the nurse that you would like to talk to doctor or ask him to call you back. You will feel more assured after talking directly to him. I'm sure everything will be okay. Keep positive okay? My symptoms are bearable now. Thanks. Hugs back

Sade, I saw some padded non wire bras at M&S. I've been looking for bra extension for a while. Where is a pasar malam when you need one?!
 
Psp: ya better check with doc or arrange to c one . I was on 3 types of support ,oral , vagina insert and injection at twice a week.
 

Lil, r u staying at east side? Cos I bought from those bras store flea market.

Joanne Oh Ya forgot to tell u that I either use cornell or tanyu or another clay type to cook soup. Seldom use steel pot. Cos if with herbs, better don't use steel pot.
