Thanks mummies for your replies yday, I only got to see 2 replies before my hp batt ran out. It was a really long and exhausting day yday so din get to come in and post any updates plus only got my phone working after to charge late last night.

Yday the first sonographer scan alr then say need to go another sonographer rescan the heart cos got some stuff she cannot see clearly and need to verify, scare both hubby and me, ask her what it is she say doc will explain later. so wait and wait, then second sonographer scan, second one was very very serious, don't want to talk and chit chat that kind, make us even more nervous, I fell asleep when she was scanning cos I was sooo tired and she wasn't talking, she was looking intently at my baby's heart beat and beat. Then scan finish she say we need to wait for doc, actually I was surprised cos I thought we scan and can go back alr cos we hv our own pte gynae. Now damn worried, so wait and wait again, then we saw a very young doc, she say there's a shadow in one of the hearts chambers, our first reaction is, omg, is it serious? Then she say no, 95-99% get sorted out in third trimester so come scan again in 28 weeks, we were like, okay...
Then she say she need to go ask her senior doc, after tht her senior doc told her we don't even hav to come back rescan cos only one shadow, 2 shadows then need rescan, Erm very reassuring lor, I think I prefer rescan to let my mind hv peace, but they say no need.
We wait and wait to pay the bill then nurse give us the report to give doc, inside first sonographer say 2 shadows, second sonographer say 1 shadow.....
What to do? Think give report to gynae and see what she say ba..
At night we had a date at merchant court hotel. we had another round of misadventures involving major getting lost in city and incurring erp after erp, we really seldom drive to city areas and definitely never at this kind of peak hours, hubby was sooo stressed and we keep going wrong way. Took us through 3 or 4 erp gates including those went up wrong way hv to u turn back kind before we reach destination, din help that my hp no batt and car charger charging his hp for the gps and I couldn't help to double check directions.
Totally emotionally mentally and physically exhausting day..
Just to add, am pissed that merchant court hotel charges parking by hr! The third hour we only 5 or 10 min into that hour, we were charged one full hour.
 
My sonographer also didn't talk about the baby weight too, I did in kkh btw. She told me that they look at different things during the various trimesters.
1st trimester they will look at the length, 2nd trimester will look at the development of the organs and body parts. The fetal weight only becomes significant in the 3rd trimester. Its fun to know but I think maybe not mentioned coz not accurate in 2nd trimester.

She told me coz I asked how long is the baby, then she said the length will not accurate at this point coz of the baby movement, but measured to satisfy my curiosity anyway


Thanks for the detailed info!
 
I was juz asking my hubby yesterday..

Oh sorry to hear abt your stressful day. Hopefully your pte gynae will be able to give u a more reassuring n definitive answer on your scan. But since the doc yesterday says 95-99% chance it will resolve by 3rd trimester, sounds like it will be ok. Good luck n jia you!

Haha the ERP gantries n parking around CBD n town can be a killer, but ok la, small money 就算了吧,don't stress yourself over this. :)

Good luck n jia you! So many ladies doing detailed scan today. Yep the sonographer won't tell u much, for me I just asked at the end if everything is ok, n all they can say is everything looks normal (except my funky placenta, of coz), they can't give much details. Anyway, the report has all the measurements, n a summary of the findings.

hi mummies, just curious.. do you think it is important to give 胎教? and what should we do?

胎教 as in listen to classical music n read story books to bb? Erm, I haven't done any leh, the only constant "胎教” beanie got so far is me yepping on the phone to customers, me scolding the dog, n sounds of mahjong. Jia lat! :p

i tried listening to classical music for #1 but he still turned out wild so i dun bother for this one :p
well that is the diff between #1 and #2 lolz

haha.. glad there's no visible diff cos im a lazy person too..

i downloaded a fisher price app tat i can sing along the nursery rhyme,so i sang tat 'row your boat song' loh.before the song he was moving a bit,after i sang,he stop moving..he fell asleep i think this proves tat mummy singing sucks! play classical music better...

Hi mummies, new to this forum. Thanks for all the informative posts!

Do your hubbies talk to bb? Mine doesnt at all. He just uses a weird cartoon voice to say bb name. but he talks to the dog. Maybe bb first words will be to the dog "Sky, NO!" :confused:

Can i ask.. do all of you slp on your left? Having trouble doing that and always end up on my back. Apart from a lower backache..does this cause problems for bb?

Dun worry

I also had a bad scare with the sonographer. ... twice... lol

Juz now i juz went for a rescan.

Inside she very serious looking n quiet. Suddenly ask me i got take calcium or not i say no coz my gynae says not time yet.
Then she ask what abt milk.. i also says no coz i dun like milk.

Then she kept quiet. So i ask her. Is it anything wrong ? She say she prefer dun answer n let her finish the scan. Later the doc will advise us.

So seriously looking lor.. i was thinking die liao lah like this...

Then outside wait awhile for the doc. N doc says its ok...

My next gynae visit is 2 weeks later.

I think i will still prefer to wait for the final answer from my own gynae.

The ppl in the adc kkh like very confusing. .. they say 1 thing but their face like telling us another thing...makes me so anxious


But hubhy still prefer to believe baby is ok...

So baby is ok now :) guess i have to force more milk down my throat :)

For my both kids i kept repeating twinkle twinkle littlw star

And it works.

When they are agitated or keep crying. Juz sing twinkle twinkle little star they will calm down. Guess a way to assure them since its different in womb n outside of womb they need some assurance to let them adjust
 
Huh can tell whether you got eat calcium one mah?
Previously my baby lower spine is faded. Not clear.

Guess now its solid colour so = taken enough calcium ? Lol i also dun know.

When i ask her more abt it she kept quiet n say she prefer to finish her scan and let doc talk to me instead zzz

Haha, my hubby only tells beanie "love you, good night" every night, that's all. N same here, we r pretty sure beanie's first words will be "Stewie, no!", just like yours :D

I quote here what I read on babycenter.com regarding sleeping on your back:

"
  • Lying on your back: In your second and third trimesters, your growing uterus can slow the circulation in your legs by compressing the inferior vena cava (the large vein that returns blood from the lower half of the body to the heart) and the pelvic veins.

    Lying flat on your back can make this problem worse. In fact, about 8 percent of pregnant women in their second or third trimester develop a condition called supine hypotensive syndrome: When they lie on their back, their heart pumps less blood, their blood pressure drops, and they feel anxious, lightheaded, and nauseated until they shift their position.

    To avoid this problem, lie on your left side instead of flat on your back. A pillow placed behind you or under your hip can help you stay on your side – or at least tilted enough to keep your uterus from compressing the vena cava.

    "
 
Something I noticed also, for me, I'm more prone to stomach cramps when I lay on my back w my legs stretched out. But when I turn to my side n keep my knees bended, I will instantly feel better.

I find that sleep on one side while hugging a bolster with one thigh across helps a lot...can stay in that position for quite long w/o feeling any pressure...

So ironic e mummies need gd rest but hubbies are the one getting it all.
 


my gynae mention abt monitoring baby movements during 3rd trimester. why must we do this? to establish baby's activity pattern? has it got anything to do with labour timing?
