My Gynae prescribed multivitamin to me on my very 1st visit...but she told me it's not a must coz I m eating well....but my hubby scares that coz no one cooks for me at home n I always eat tabao food, so he ask gynae to give it to me.2nd visit..gynae say for me multivitamin is really not a must coz I nv hv serious ms like vomiting. .so to me unless u hv serious ms n are not eating well then u shld take multivitamin if not just take folic ..n other prescription gynae gave u is enough...
Hi durham, my gynae told me that multivitamins aren't necessary for me during my first trimester.. but he also mentioned that upon my next visit in my 15 week, he will prescribe some supplements. I'm assuming it will be fish oil, calcium etc..
Congrats! My last period was 2 days after yours and my edd based on my gynae after my ultrasound is 16 Aug! But I think it depends on fetal development too.. are you planning to go for Oscar test? If yes then I'm not sure if you have enough time! My gynae mentioned the NT scan has to be done before week 14.. your edd may be close to mine and I'm at week 13 now..
Congrats to you too! Where did you have your Oscar test done? But I guess it doesn't really matter for me cos we're keeping the baby regardless.
didn't visit doc earlier mostly due to my ultrasound phobia... found 2 blighted ovums before ;(.. still working on the ultrasoubd phobia.. bo pian right, cannot delay anymore.
Haha.. better not to delay I guess.. important to find out if our little beanie is growing well.. I did mine at kkh because I'm seeing Dr John Tee at kkh clinic A.. you?
Just did NT scan today and measured 3.3mm. Gynae says anything below 3.5mm is normal range but that put us in the borderline high he said. But he says to wait for blood test before determining status. Hoping and praying for the best!
Coz I really do not want to imagine the options of high risk, after carrying the little one to this far. Praying for God's mercy and grace in every step of this journey.

Hey waiwish, take one step at a time. Oscar test needs both scan and blood test to be determined. On top of that, as u may read, there are a lot of false positive results. Will keep u in my prayers. Praying that Jesus' peace be with you during this waiting time.
My fish oil comes with lemon flavoring so not as bad. Gynae say some have to try a few brands before settling on one. But rem to get those for pregnancy.

Hi I asked my gynea about the harmony test. She say it is a screening test like the Oscar test and not a diagnostic test.
http://www.diagnosticultrasound.org.uk/harmony-blood-test-for-downs-syndrome-screening.htm
Quoted from the above website "the Harmony Blood Test does not replace the Combined Test as you still need the 12 week scan to assess the nuchal translucency (NT) and check for structural abnormalities"...."Those who are very high risk may decide to proceed to an invasive procedure such as a CVS (Chorion Villus Sample) or if the risk is borderline you may decide then to have the Harmony Test as this carries no risk to the fetus".

went for my 14th week scan last week but doc was not able to see the gender. though we have no preference on the gender but still quite anxious to find out! hehe.. meemeemoomoo, I also found more fine hair on my tummy, to my horror, when I was showing my hubby my tummy. Mean it will be a boy?
I read from another forum you can do a detailed scan around 14w, with the following centre:
Antenal Diagnostics Centre
SSR International Private LimitedOne Orchard Boulevard, Camden Medical Centre,#06-07/08, Singapore 248649
TEL: (65) - 6333 8621 FAX: (65) - 6333 8619 web:http://www.ssr.com.sg E-mail: [email protected]
What they do is basically offer detailed scanning of organs and fetal heart development where soft markers are included. It is of 90% accuracy as compared to Amnio which is 100% and Harmony test is 98/99%.
This detailed scan will be known on the spot, so there is no waiting time for results. And it is non invasive. It takes about 30mins to 2 hours depending on how cooperative the baby is.
I called up to ask more and was told that my NT3.3mm is high and unlikely that my blood test results will return normal. So I have booked an appt to do detailed scan in w14. Blood test results will be back next Mon (w13+).
I can decide if i should do amnio or harmony after the detailed scan. This scan costs about $500. What i like is the non-agonising element of having to wait for results.
From my conversation with the lady who answered my call at the centre, it seems NT3.3 is at high risk, they like to see measurement of 1-2mm. And she was so confident that my blood test results will return abnormal. I totally appreciate her honesty and that is what I need to prep myself.
I really do not know what to think of it...and i know my worrying is not going to change the situation any bit. I keep telling myself to stay calm and go with the flow.
Perhaps you are not aware, this is my 4th pregnancy after 3 miscarriages. So to have to go through a forced '....', I really do not know if I could withstand the trauma. As I am typing this, my tears are welling up. It is so tough, I keep asking myself why do I have to go through so much in this journey when all I really ask for is a healthy baby. I didnt ask for intelligence, beauty, character or anything else. Just a healthy baby....please,PLease do not take this little one away again.
I have been seeking prayers from all angles, and I continue to commit this pregnancy in His Safe hands and trust that He is a healing God. Mercy, grace and blessing - Dear God I so need your high power and intervention in every step my hubs and I take in this precious journey.

Didy, what was your blood test result?
Your measurement didn't seem bad to me.
Dear Lord, we know you are a healing God and you give only the best. I pray with Didy that her coming scan on Monday will be in safe hands with your blessing. I pray your mercy upon her pregnancy and may this journey be a beautiful experience for her, that she gets to hold her healthy baby in her arms come due date. In Jesus name, amen.
To you both, Please still stay hopeful alright.. my sil's Oscar results came back so bad that her gynae was shocked.. her ratio was 1:3. She went further to do the amnio test and she got good results! So please don't give up yet!!

Hi Waiwish, this detailed scan seems like a good option before deciding whether to go for amniocentesis. And no agonising wait. I read there are many false positives in the oscar test especially if you are older. I will probably go for this detailed scan too. My bb NT is 2.3mm and risk is 1:13. Hope we both get better results than the oscar scan...

Didy, if ur blood test is abnormal it could be some other factors? My first pregnancy also showed im high risk. After my dr saw the result he said it could be false positive cos I was bleeding at that time. So the blood result will be inaccurate. Sadly after a few mths later, I lost my pregnancy due to infection. The dr suggested me to do a test to test if my mc was due to being high risk although he didnt think so. And the biopsy results shows bb was normal. Stay strong and positive.

I also made appointment for this test even though I haven't go for my Oscar test yet.
The website seems to recommend doing both the NT scan and the genetic scan.

Hi Didy, the NT measurement wasn't ideal. The gynae said it shld be below 2mm... plus my age was factored in, calculated risk is higher
He didn't mention much abt the blod test leh. Only the NT measurement and the adjusted risk. How was your blood test?
Hi Jo Lin, how old are you? NT2.3mm to me is amazing, yet it returns with 1:13 risk ratio.
With my NT3.3mm, I am preparing for risk ratio of 1:5 at best. I am truly preparing myself for the worse, and having said that, I am lost as to what next....I held some hope for blood test result next monday but after researching pretty intensively, all points to negativity. I need to really wake up and start considering options.........

I have deep concerns coz i am 38 this year, with 3 miscarriages last yr. In fact, the current pregancy is an amazing miracle from above, given that it was not planned and I have yet to start another cycle of menses after my D&C. First two miscarriages were really early in its stage. First one was at 5 weeks, natural passing. Second one was very low HCG to being with, yet to see anything on scan even, not even sac and then menses started a week later. So more like a chemical pregnancy but my then gynae classified as miscarriage too. Third miscarriage in Oct, already in 8 weeks when i did the D&C but sac stopped growing and it was blighted ovum. We didnt get to see even yolk sac within the gestational sac at every scan and waited till 8 weeks just to be sure tho gynae encourarged D&C much earlier.
And now with NT measuring sky high at 3.3mm, i am at total loss.
I continue to pray for His mercy and grace, and have faith that this miracle of life he has given us will continue to be blessed in His plans. I cried myself to bed last night, and it actually felt better after I let it all out. It takes time to sink in, while waiting for blood test results next Monday. The days are getting longer it seems. Come what may, I will garner strength to walk the journey in His guided ways.
bbjourney, all the very best and I trust that yours will turn out very well. The chances of high risk are very low really, I just happen to be chosen to face obstacles in my trying journey.
Beneath all that, I know I have been loved and blessed in many many ways still.

Waiwish, Thank you for well wishes.
I am 40 this yr. I had a miscarriage at 20weeks in 2008 and finally manage to conceive and deliver a healthy baby in 2012. I hope my current pregnancy will go smoothly as it started with many obstacles . I had bleeding and spotting from week5 until week9.
Let's pray together that our pregnancy will be healthy and goes smoothly.
