hi Gebbera, mrs tan & stapler.
whr do u stay? how old r u? how long have u trying? lets share some of our personal details here first lor?
Hi Stapler,
ya, think its better to see a gynae first b4 pregnant. the gynae will do a u-scan for u to make sure everything is alright. i always tell ppl that this is a MUST becoz when i first went to a gynae when i was pregnant, the gynae scan and found a BIG cyst in 1 of my ovaries!!! this was really a SHOCKING news to me & my hubby. And the gynae suggested to remove the cyst during my 12+ pregnancy. of coz we were very scared and worried that such thing happened. Luckily everything was alright after my surgery and now my girl is already 20 mths!!
So remember, my advise is better make sure everything is alright & in "good condition" b4 getting pregnant.

hello lbs/seiko/wendypooh:
managed to retrieve some useful informations for you...
Abdominal Pain
To relieve sharp pains or cramps from stretched abdominal muscles and ligaments, particularly when sitting or lying down, use a warm heating pad. Regular exercise will strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles. If muscles become separated, contact your health care provider for abdominal stregthening exercises.
Backache
Keep your weight gain under control with proper diet and exercise. Avoid taking analgesics; instead, use a heating pad to relieve pain. Special exercises to strengthen abdominal muscles can also help reduce backache. Wear shoes or shoe inserts designed for pregnant women, and avoid high heels. Don't stand for long periods and don't stretch to reach high places. Sit straight without slouching, and whenever possible, sit with your legs elevated. Sleep on a firm mattress. Be careful when lifting heavy loads - especially children. Bend at the knees, keep your back as straight as possible, hold the object or child close to your body, and raise yourself slowly.
Breast Discomfort
Wear a bra that gives your enlarged breasts proper support. If your breasts leak small amounts of fluid or colostrum, use nursing pads in your bra.
Dizziness and Faintness
Slow down when you stand up or get out of bed. Dizziness when you rise too quickly from a sitting or prone position is called postural hypotension. If you're in a crowd and start feeling dizzy, step away and get some fresh air; if possible, lie down with your feet elevated or sit with your head between your knees.
Fatigue
Get a full night's sleep and rest with your feet up for at least 15 minutes several times a day.
Leg Pains and Cramps
Wear support hose during the day, and elevate your feet when resting, if possible. Use a heating pad or gentle massage on the back of your thigh to ease scatica. When a leg cramp hits, straighten your leg and slowly flex your ankle and toes, massage your calf, or soak your leg in hot water. You may be able to prevent night cramps by limiting clothing with elastics, keeping your feet elevated and having a banana and glass of milk before bedtime. If painful cramps persist, ask your health care provider about calcium or magnesium supplements.
Morning Sickness
You may feel nauseated at any time of the day, typically in the first trimester. Try eating frequent light meals rather than three full meals. Keep your diet high in protein and complex carbohydrates, and low in sweet and fatty foods. Drink plenty of fluids, and eat fresh fruits and vegetables, which are high in water content. Try 50 mg of vitamin B6 three times a day. Antacids sometimes help, especially if heartburn is part of the problem. In general, try to minimize stress in your everyday activities.

Been busy whole morning.. should be more free now to chit chat with you all ...
Wah.. topic now on location and age...
Me also paiseh.. think i'm the oldest here already.
<font color="0000ff">stapler</font>
You started trying from May, which is less than 3 months. The recommended time to see a gynae is after a year of trying.
But i personally think that it's good to go for a pap smear check if you've been sexually active.
Charges varies. Usually it cost an average of abt. $80-100 for consultation, pap smear and u/s for private gynaes, not sure abt. KKh though.
I don't have the breakdown of the charges off-hand, maybe some of the ladies here who have gone for gynae checkup can help?
Procedure wise, not painful lah.. The gynae will just scrap some of your vaginal discharge for the pap smear check. For u/s, the gynae will insert the u/s device inside your vagina.

Hi Mrs Tan, so i am elder than u, me april one!
Hi Gebbera, think u did not "catch" in my message. I was already pregnant b4 i realise that there was a cyst inside. During my first ultra scan with gynae then discovered. so gynae suggest to wait after 12 wks until the bb is stable then do the laparoscopy operation. I was in the hospital for 2 days then.
ok, for normal check up ( u scan / pap smear ) think its ard 150+. consultation is abt $60, then u scan abt $60 and pap smear abt $30..
diff gynae have different charges, maybe u can call & enquiry b4 gg.

hi wendypooh,
here it is.....
Baby Movements
Bubbles. Butterflies. Gas. These are all words used to describe what a baby's first movements feel like to a mother.
Quickening is defined as the moment during pregnancy when the baby is first felt to move. This is a long anticipated event in every pregnancy.
If you are expecting your first baby you can expect to feel your baby for the first time between 18 and 24 weeks gestation. If this is not your first baby you can expect to feel your baby a bit sooner than you felt your first. This is usually said to happen because you know what you're feeling for and your uterus is more stretched out than it was the first time around
There may be reasons that you are not feeling movement as early as you are expecting to feel it. Many of these are normal occurrences, including your body weight, your baby's position and the location of the placenta.
The second big milestone is when others can also feel the baby move. Your partner might be surprised by a quick thump here or there, after many weeks of patiently (or impatiently) waiting. A sibling might get a quick bump on the cheek or hand and be very excited about the reality of the new baby.
After the joy of feeling these first movements happens fear sets in. Is your baby moving too much? Not enough? Medical studies have found that by doing fetal kick counts after the 28th week of pregnancy is actually one of the better predictors of fetal well being. Charting is safe, simple and inexpensive. All pregnant women should keep track of their baby's movements. Any sharp decreases in movements should be reported to you health care provider.
Kick Count Charting
To do the count:
Choose the time of day your baby is the most active and begin timing fetal movements at about the same time every day.
Lie down on your side or sit in a comfortable easy chair. Do not watch TV or carry on a conversation. Pay attention to the movements of your baby.
The first time you feel your baby move, check the time and write it down on the graph. Count every movement or kick until your baby has moved ten times. When you feel your tenth movement, write down the time and put an X in the box corresponding to that time.. Bring your graph with you to your clinic visit for your health care provider to review.
Notify your health care provider if your baby has not moved ten times in two hours, you have not felt the baby move all day (12 hours) or you notice a significant change in your baby's activity.
