....I actually got here after MIA for 1 cycle bo chap and left it to nature! God's Will. at least we are here now....wishing you the same thru your 9 mths, smooth, happy and healthy journey with bb! anyone here planning to get a post natal massage lady? or anyone has any recommendations? i used to try this Chinese lady for my #1 and she is good but it seems now she is no longer doing massage but running her own spa centre so no time. The second one was a old malay lady recommended by my colleague and she is good too but not sure if she will still do massage cos she quite old already and also busy with looking after her grandchildren.... so thinking of looking out for a good and recommended one....

HI Daphne48, I m gonna deliver @ RH too. my 1st was delivered by Dr Koh. Who's ur gynae?
THY, currently I'm seeing Dr Thong but will have to switch after my Oscar test as she doesn't do delivery now. She was the one that delivered my #1 and #2.... so will see which gynae under her panel that she will ask me to consider.... i think it will be either Dr Tony Tan or Dr Lee I Wuen...

Hi mummies, just went for my first trimester screening. Some called it Oscar. Fetal scan is fine. Can see bb so active jumping around. So nice and happy. However when combined with blood test results, the hcg was alright. Just that the pppa-a blood test considered low at 0.4. Thus it puts me at higher risk of 1:114. A bit worried. We hv decided to go for amnio at 16 weeks. Hopefully I can tahan these few weeks till jul 22. Anyone of you have been thru this?

1:114 sounds ok to me.
You mean that is considered higher risk?
So what type of ratio is low risk?

For mummies working part time, not sure if you are aware of this. Something to share with you...
The government has introduced a new government-paid maternity leave benefit (GPMB) which provides economically-active women who do not qualify for paid maternity leave with a cash benefit. It provides them with some income when they are not working in the months after childbirth.
Mothers will receive the GPMB if they have worked an aggregate of at least 90 days in the 12 calendar months (for one or more employers) before the birth of their child, and if they do not already qualify for paid maternity leave.
The GPMB is equivalent to the Government-paid portion of maternity leave (i.e. 8 weeks for 1st and 2nd births; 16 weeks for 3rd and subsequent births). GPMB will be calculated based on your gross rate of pay in the 12 calendar months before childbirth, divided over 365 days to obtain a daily GPMB rate.
Mothers will be eligible for the GPMB if:
(i) Your child is born on or after 1 Jan 2013; and
(ii) Your child is a Singapore Citizen; and
(iii) You were lawfully married to your child’s father at the point of conception or birth; OR if you marry the child’s father within 12 months of the delivery date and
(iv) You have been in employment for a total of at least 90 days in the 12 calendar months before the birth of your child; and
(v) You do not already qualify for maternity leave.
If you require more information regarding the GPMB, please call our hot-line at 1800 439 2229.

Gbob, dun worry. I also no nausea or ms.
Alexis, thanks. I will try to be positive and pray n hope for the best. It's really very exciting to see baby on screen this morning. The whole scan took 1 hour. Can see bb jumping about, hands waving, legs moving and jerking body. The sonographer at times hv to nudge bb to change position in order to get a better picture. She says bb is active. We r so amazed.

Nidellia, I did amnio for #2, the doc who did it specializes in doing amnio and she was very skillful and careful as well. I could see the process on screen if I wanted to but I preferred not to. They use a needle to extract fluid to do a 100% test which is accurate and you can even know your baby's sex if you want to. It's invasive test, not painful at all surprisingly and was very fast, in and out. After that, they will need you to have full bed rest for 3 days, don't do anything at all if you can help it and move slowly and carefully.
I may have to do this too but I'm intending to ask doctor is Materni-T 21 blood test is available. I heard it is just blood test, 99% accurate and non invasive and the latest as oppose to CVS and Amnio. I'm not sure if Materni-T 21 is available in Singapore but I'll try asking your gynae if I were you to have other options too, and apparently, you can also do Materni-T 21 earlier than 16 weeks.

Nidellia and other mummies, check out this link....Parkway Health Laboratory offers Materni-T21 blood test. It's very new in Singapore and they say it's 98.6% accurate, non invasive.

Gbob, ya will try to take things easy!! Can eat nasi lemak ma?? Contains coconut milk. Thought we r supposed to avoid coconut.
Miraclebaby, oh full bed rest for 3 days. The way u describe amnio makes it so simple and quick! Oh not sure materni-21 blood test available or not. Is it really that accurate?

GBOB must be the coconut and the chilli lah!! aiyo, becareful ok....hehe....
Hi Nidellia, well I did full bed rest, as you do feel a bit of pain after that when you walk, so even if you try walk fast also cannot. hehe. so rest is best. I just spoke to my hubby and we'll go for the Materni-T21 Blood test anytime compared to Amnio if that option is available and now I know it is available in Singapore thru Parkway Health so I will try to push my gynae to let me do that instead of Amnio. Between 98.6% accuracy and 99.99% accuracy I think I can stomach and take the chances on the blood test rather than the risk of a miscarriage. I was also worried when I did the Amnio and lucky all went well. It is a very fast and easy process, no blood drawn or anything scary (except I did see the very LONG needle!) otherwise I closed my eyes and tried to relax and follow what the doc told me to do breath in out etc....
