But deep my heart i prefer female doctor...

Haha i found this online

So is from week 13 onwards ✌️

"Pregnancy is measured in trimesters from the first day of your last menstrual period, totaling 40 weeks. The first trimester of pregnancy is week 1 through week 12, or about 3 months. The second trimester is week 13 to week 27. And the third trimester of pregnancy spans from week 28 to the birth."
 
Hello mummies!

I'm finally in week 12 and did oscar this week. Just rec phone call from clinic that baby is low risk DS.
I am still having nausea and bloatedness. Had fever and sore throat over cny also. Had to take medicine which I really dreaded.

Anybody heard reviews about TMC confinement herbal package?

Hi all, nice to be in this Sep mums' group. This is my first child & so super excited too. My EDD is 20 Sep. Just did NT scan & found out baby is fine. I also did OSCAR test & am waiting for results tomorrow.
Click to expand...

Hi, what is the difference between NT scan and oscar? Care to elaborate further cos I am going for oscar next week. And what goes NT measures? Sorry, first time mum, pretty inexperienced.
 
If I'm not wrong, the oscar includes a blood test and the NT scan.

Having my no. 4, but did the triple test (blood test only) for no. 1 to 3. Going for oscar 2 in weeks :)
 
http://www.thomsonmedical.com/thomson-diagnostic-imaging-centre/

What does OSCAR involve?
1. Ultrasound measurement of Nuchal Translucency (NT) at 11-13 weeks + 6 days gestation of the fetus.
2. A sample of the mother’s blood is analysed for levels of free beta hCG and PAPP-A (Pregnancy associated plasma Protein A).
Studies have shown that Down Syndrome is associated with
• Increased maternal age
• Increased fetal nuchal translucency thickness (NT)
• Increased maternal serum free beta-HCG and
• Decreased pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) concentration

The detection rate of Trisomy 21 by this method would be about 90%, for a false positive rate of 5%. This is superior to the 65% by maternal age and second trimester serum biochemistry; and 80% detection rate by NT and maternal age in the first trimester.
 
Im with Dr Heng Tung Lan too. 4th time with her. Very experienced doctor, very confident in her abilities and I feel very comfortable with her :)
For all 3, I found out baby's gender by 14-16 weeks and she was 100% accurate!

Pls check out this link for details. I did mine in NUH & saw the baby moving up & down, side to side during abdominal scan. Scan can take a while depending on baby's position at time in order to have good visuality of the space. Sonographer can immediately advise you whether baby is having high or low risk after measuring the thickness of fluid at the back of the neck. It is only 80% accurate though. With the serum/blood test, the accuracy is increased to 90%.

my gynae showed me the 3 types of scans available, Oscar, harmony and panaroma. Panaroma most expensive. harmony at $800 if i din recall wrongly. anyway i picked the cheapest la.

i did the NT scan this week which measures the neck thickness. OSCAR & blood test will be done 3 weeks later....

I so wish to go back 2 weeks later instead of 3 weeks later...3 weeks is like so long...

Try honey mixed with lukewarm water.
I bought yuja cha (Korean citron tea).

If you can endure the temp, try to drink as hot as possible. It works great for me. I have the urge after 2 hrs.
