Hi there, i'm from the March mommies thread and kaypoh here... just to share, my friend's friend's son also went to NICU and had open heart surgery right after he was born. They bought some medical insurance before hand so a large portion of the cost was covered. Now the baby is doing well. Maybe you can also check more on the medical treatment involved for the baby and insurance options available.

Big hugz... it's never easy to let go a baby at this stage. I was forced to give birth to my baby in T2 during last pregnancy, the thought that the bb will not survive once born is very very heartbreaking. Take care my dear.....

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps get another opinion. Will the surgery going to be complicated? What is the chance of baby survival? I lost my #1 too due to baby abnormality. I didn't terminate her but she left us upon birth. With God's blessing, i got pregnant again after 1 year (6 mths ttc). At this pregnancy I didn't even take Oscar or harmony test. I told myself that I will try my best to keep this baby regardless if it is DS or other birth defect. I also heard many miracle stories that baby grows back to normal at third trimester. I am not familiar with fallot. But try give another chance to your baby. I got opinions from many gynaes from different countries. I didn't want to give up and left baby stayed in my womb till 7 mths.
Do pray to God for miracle. Also check if anyone has similar problem. Baby might turned out to be okay at the end. If you have insurance covered, its worth to give your baby a chance. Talk to your baby and hopefully he or she will be fine. Make sure you don't regret with your decision. Losing a baby is not going to be an easy process. Be strong and take care. HUGS

I thought can see twice also, but end up no scan at the gynae... only got the detailed scan....
Click to expand...

i thought it will be similar to my 1st trimster scan, which i will go in the sonographer's room, do the scan, then proceed to another room to get the scan interpreted.

then to my gynae's room to summarise the whole detailed scan and the routine/usual consultation.

Maybe your gynae has different procedures... after my DS, I brought the report down to the gynae who will look through and explain to me... but he didn't do a second scan for me in his office... so the entire day I only had 1 scan with the sonographer....

On a separate random note, I think my dental filling just dropped out! I can feel the hole at the back of the tooth!! I just filled that cavity I think less than 6 months ago and it dropped! Damn irritating... Going back to complain and hopefully they can make good without paying since they didn't do a good job in the first place...

Already max out my dental benefit for this year le.....

Need to go home and check... I have those mirrors that the dentist use at home so can see... but previously when I feel the area, it's flat.... now clearly there is a hole there, can feel the gap.... :(

Sorry to hear that. :(

I feel that it's good to seek a second opinion too. I have a friend with the same experience as you. She decided to keep the baby and he went for the emergency operation right after birth. Baby stayed in nicu for less than two weeks. And he is now a healthy and normal toddler just like any other kid. Just sharing. The ultimate decision is yours. There is no right or wrong. Do what's best for yourself. Stay strong mummy.

I got to see twice though! After my detailed scan, my gynae explained the report and did another scan to check on my amniotic fluid level. He also did a 4D scan to see baby's features. Too bad her back was facing us so we didn't get to see who she looks like. Haha.. :D

Normally after detailed scan see gynae they won't scan again .. Guess to them pointless to do it again and subject mom to scan cost
Click to expand...
Yup my gynae will ask me if I wanna scan again..and she will say no need to actually cos we are also paying for the scan each time..mine charges $60 I think
