Cz I need to do for my pre wedding photo
13 weeks going 14 weeks now... Thought I should be happy, but received a call from the Gynae informing me of my Oscar results. I'm high risk due to blood results, but NT scan actually showed that everything is normal and low risk. But the blood test pulled the entire results down and now the ratio is 1:50.
Though there's a 2% chance but still worried. What's most annoying is Gynae said he's never seen conflicting results from blood test and NT scan.

Hi, I also recommend call direct. However, previously when i contacted a few CL it was over the CNY holiday couldn't get through so msg them instead. They did call me back after that.

Hee hee. Me too. I did gel pedi and mani also. I think we mummys need to relax a bit and not over react to too many things. We already have 1001 foods and activities to avoid. Not as if we do gelish nails every week.Some said safe and some not, but I did my gel mani and pedi for CNY

Hugs to you. Don't worry and try to relax, ok? Maybe the harmony test result will come back earlier. If you are not comfy with this gynae, should consider changing while still early. Take care.
Don't worry, perhaps do the harmony test for better accuracy!

Hi ladies,

As for groceries, we just pass her è $$ & she will go out buy?
As for housework/laundry not so concerned cos i hv a pt time maid coming in once a week..

They usually can but such details should be discussed before confirming your Confinement Lady. Her main job and priority to is look after you and your baby.
I've read on other threads that some will cook for the whole family, and at the end of it they give her a bigger Ang Pao for the extra effort.
The one that I met she will cook for whole family, ok to do laundry for family if need her help. But she will not do marketing. So need someone to buy the ingredients needed for cooking...

HI Mummies!
Im new here… I'm also having an August baby!!
Cheers!

Welcome and congrats.
My Maid is from Myanmar. Though there are bad sentiments about Myanmar Maids, Mine so far is good as she had worked with 1 Employer for 3 years.
Perhaps you are a little too early? As I have been seeing my Gynae on a monthly basis, the moment I tested positive, I went to see him. He did a tranvirginal scan for me and saw that it was... "Cloudy" (which meant that implantation is taking place). That was week 4. At week 5 we only saw a water bag. And that was it. Only at week 6+ onwards we saw a fetus with heartbeat.

I went to KK O&G @5th week too when there's brown discharge. Cannot spot anything not even a sac, waited till 6th week, there's sac but no embryo.
When there's embryo, there's no heartbeat.
><"
Somemore there's frequent brown discharge too (almost weekly) and only in the 7th week, the gynae can detect the heartbeat.
Meanwhile at this time, stay positive and don't think too much. Everything will be fine.
Hi Aug mummies,
I'm new here in the forum. First preggy. Previously was tortured by ms.. just starting to feel better then this bad cough and sore throat came. Anyone has any remedies for cough or any med that safe to take? I don't really dare to take those prescribed by GP although he said is vy mild.

Do you have a gynae? Maybe u will like to call or email your gynae and double check before taking the med.

yeah i agree with sane.. for "medical advice" always seek advice from your gynae or another doctor as they are medically trained on such issues, to avoid confusing yourself. Advice given by fellow moms/moms-to-be should only be for reference

Hi ladies,
Thru recommendation from my friend, i called up a CL on her m'sia number.
She tel me on the day i give birth just get my hubby to call her & she will buy bus ticket to get to golden mile. Then she can take a taxi or my hubby can come fetch her..
She say no need deposit cos is friend's recommend.
Is this the norm? I abit '不放心' leh.

Are you able to set up a meeting with her? Maybe you can go over to meet her. With deposit also scare later she run away and never show up. If can meet up to talk then maybe more 放心 and can discuss all the necessary costs and expenses up front?

Fairytale,
It's the norm that CL will only depart from their hometown after U deliver. Otherwise she has nothing to do if she comes before ur delivery, no baby to take care & U can't be leaving her at hm while U are still hospitalised. Actual confinement will begin when U discharge from hospital. That will be the day that she shld arrive in Sg. While u are hospitalised after delivery, most hospitals have confinement menu, so U don't really need a CL to specially cook for u. The confinement food in Gleneagles is yummy & they provide red dates tea too.

Hi mummy, I did recommended CL to few of mummies, mostly CL will request deposit $200 or $ 300 if mummy confirmed booking.
Deposit can secured both parties, CL do not accept anymore better offer for your delivery period (2 weeks before and 2 weeks after).
Like what you mention, CL do not ask any deposit, this is a bit strange, I can understand what you feel uncomfortable (不放心).
She might be has her reasons, may be she can't ensure she can come over that time or she might have another better offer than you in other day.
You can get more information from your friend about this CL since she is recommended by her, another way it's good you can meet her up if she got another offer in s'pore before your delivery month. I agreed with elocinker mummy said, the confinement services is begin when the day you discharges from hospital, the ended of 28 services is just in time your baby full month.

Hello everyone. Can I ask if anybody had done 4d scan ? Is it worth paying for or detailed scan should be enough? Passed my Oscar and decided not to go for Harmony as it's too expensive.
Thanks for welcoming me Piggling!
Queenbee24: Well… honestly it's a personal choice… but chances are your baby will come out looking different from the scan.
Fairytale: Yeah they normally get activated when you are in the hospital. If they say they committed to you liao… then u shouldn't worry.
Shirls: Yeah I went to see the doc only at week 9 only! Don't worry about it.. it's really very very small…

Any of MTB experiencing contraction - like pain especially at night ? I am 17 weeks 2 days. Lately been experiencing it and quite worried even though my gyne said my little princess is very healthy and active , I wonder if the pain is just a sign she's moving too much inside,

Don't think is contraction, more likely is ligation pain.Any of MTB experiencing contraction - like pain especially at night ? I am 17 weeks 2 days.

Been feeling easily tired lately, did regain slight energy when I stepped into trimester 2 but now feeling tired again, at 16+ weeks.
Suffering from sore throat and constant sneezing since morning... Really feel like I can fall asleep on office table.
Anyone has natural remedies for sore throat/sneezing? Have been gargling salt water but still kind of sore.

I also had sore throat during the cny period. Other than gargle salt water, i actually drank it. It helps to lessen the pain and drink plenty of waterBeen feeling easily tired lately, did regain slight energy when I stepped into trimester 2 but now feeling tired again, at 16+ weeks.

Maybe you want to consider buying that U-shape pillow to support your body? Sometimes i have aches on hips as well. Really not easy to sleep well at times, try not to sleep on back as it restrict blood flow.

Yah, I also gargle salt water and drink lots of water. Worse thing is to climb up n go work the next day. Gosh! Hopefully all our illness go away soon!
You take care too, hope you recover soon since it has been awhile. Previously I fell sick when I was at about 5 weeks and it dragged so long, the cough etc. my nose keep dripping, like throughout my pregnancy. I just scare will affect baby.
