I think it's totally OK to cheat once in a while! The first trimester is so tiring that every little bit counts.btw.. i starting to find it hard to swallow plain water!
taste so yucky! i cheated and drank a bottle of pokka ice lemon tea yesterday and it totally cure my nausea!
do u all think it's ok to drink it every alternate day? really so in need of that!
I am 7w2d, #1, still no sign of vomiting, only slight nausea. Keep touching my belly and checking for heartbeat.. so worried. Anyone experiencing no vomiting also?
Now week 9. Feeling nausea since week 5 but no vomit. Have u been to your first check up?
Yup I did, doc gave me duphaston and fish oil. So far no vomit still and my appetite very good. I also recently went to see a home-based Chinese doc, he prescribed me some Chinese meds for an tai..
Has anyone decided on oscar or paranoma test near week 12?
Feels nausea and bloated all the time. How do u ease the bloatedness?
Appetite dropped since week 6, now at week 9 it's still the same. Looking at food makes me feel nausea.
I am a vegetarian who take diary product, therefore i try not to be picky on food.
Used to love eggs, peanuts, vegetables, sweet stuff, all these loose appeal to me now.
Has been craving for spicy and sour food like tomatoes, pasta, pizza and soupy stuff.. thankfully i still love fruits and milk.
Always feels bloated and tired after having meals. Do try to take multiple small meals. Sometimes to the extend my hands will feel so weak when feeling fatigue.
I always blame the weather or said nv slept well though I know not very convincing.. my nausea still under control, keep taking sour plum.. but really don't know what to eat, everything taste different now.. I don't have metallic taste but having bitter taste
hey aphroleez, the doctor didn't say much about the pain, just showed me the yolk sac from the scan....and then the doctor was quiet about it. Back then at week 5, they cannot hear heartbeat at all.Hi hi, what doc say about the abdomen pain? I have been experiencing it...Google about it and say it's common as uterus expanding? Is that what ur gynae says? I haven't book an appointment with my gynae yet
anyone been to first checkup with Gynae? can share what to expect from the session? Any blood test? I am preparing a list of questions to ask the doctor....
Thank you! Serve as good reference ..I am already taking some folic acid but i will ask gynae if I can continue or to use the one prescribedWent to first gynea check up during week 7, initially i thought i am already week 8 when i first visit. Doctor say could be due to my mentral cycle.
Did ultrasound and v scan, get to see and hear baby's heartbeat. No blood test for me during the first visit. Doctor prescribed me folic acid, vitamin B6 and Duphaston. He also ask me to visit again this week. He also provide us options to consider whether to take oscar or paranoma test during week 12.
I kind of decided on panorama because I read online that Oscar is not conclusive.
Any views on this, mummies?
Hellos babe, are you seeing Dr. Wong in Tampines?
I am seeing him as well
He recommended Oscar initially, but I asked him if I can proceed to Panorama directly instead as I do not wish to waste time and money - if one gotten high risk for Oscar, most probably gotta go through Panorama first before moving to Amnio. He said okay and suggested to have partial Oscar (NT Scan) + Panorama. I agreed.
I just had mine done last Wednesday and waiting for my report now.
When's your next appointment with Dr. Wong?

Hi, how much does your doctor charge for both test?
I am with Thomson medical. Besides Oscar/ Paranoma, the nurse also give options whether to take Pre-Eclampsia (something to do with high blood pressure) and Thalassaemia (test red blood cell) Did anyone gone through these?
hello! i am with Dr Wong too.
Can advise when u all decided on Panorama? based on what he advised with my age (30), panorama is total waste of money and oscar is good enough! so i am more or less convinced to just do oscar . not sure if it's a wise choice. he said i can let him know next appt to do or not do.

Hello!!! Yes I am with Dr Wong too! Same as @cjanice (is this how we tag others?), Dr Wong also told me to just go with Oscar and the way he put it is panorama is when I feel rich >.<
My next appointment with him is this coming sat and I have to tell him my decision already. I am planning to go for panorama not because I am feeling rich, but because I don't want a false positive from Oscar and scare myself and get my blood drawn the second time for panorama.
U had ur test done at which week ah? I will be week 9 when I see him this sat. I need to mentally prepare myself for the blood test. Haha
Hannor.. Why ah? We just wanna be more assured ma.. I also share the same sentiment, like, I went through first round of the wait for Oscar, if result turns out to be high risk, I need to go through another tormenting 10 days again. Very "what" one leh..
The sonographer also sound like "huh why you did Panorama? So expensive leh, rich hor?" but not in sarcastic way lah, heh.. I met a very very nice and motherly sonographer!
I got mine done on 11w 6d.
Blood test not so soon my dear, they most probably will schedule both on the same day if you are going for partial Oscar (which is the NT Scan).
Ya lo. So I am not alone hor.. Is the nurse at the Tampines clinic who helped you to draw blood? Skill ma? Hahahaha I very scared!
Maybe we will pong dao each other at the clinic during one of the appointments!

actually i don't mind! hehehe
You are definitely not alone
Yeah, Joanna took my blood.
Quite okay, I got poked twice only lol..
I always have difficulty when it comes to blood drawing, I ever got poked 8 times @ my arms & the back of my palms still couldn't find my veins, damn sad lol..
The most skillful one I have met was the senior nurse in KKH, once only and totally painless.
what!!! twice!!! poke me once i want to die already.. still 2 times.
i had blood drawn at kk before too, was totally smooth and painless.
omg i having second thoughts about drawing my blood at dr wong clinic. my first appt last sat i alr asking my husband i wonder if it's the nurse or doctor who draw the blood.good luck to us @Limy0112
Twice was okay for me, hahaha.
Hello mummies!!
I'm Florence currently coming to 9 weeks pregnant.. hehe this is my second child.. I'm still considering which gynea to go.. but most likely I will go back to my first born gynea which is Dr. Adelina Wong at thomson. How about you guys?
any Facebook or wa chat group ?[/QU
Twice 'cuz she couldn't find my vein, heh..
Joanna is the lady sitting @ the counter, she usually tie her hair in a bun.
Long hair one I think is Gina
Got such thing as half Panorama de meh?
I think i was too gan cheong on my first visit to the clinic. I only know got one young nurse and got one aunty nurse. Lol. I shall take note on my next visit this sat.
Ok sorry I must be blind. I thought I saw you saying half panorama and half Oscar. Haha but you are already taking panorama, why need to take half Oscar test ah?
I just gone for my 1st gynae visit, and I opted for OSCAR test for my next visit, my baby is 9weeks. This is my first child and I did read review that OSCAR may be frustrating because of the results stating only LOW or HIGH RISK but I decided to go for it coz it is cheaper compared to the NIPT, (I seriously don't know if called Harmony/Panorama, someone educate me please ) If really result has HIGH RISK I will go for the NIPT which I understand can be taken anytime from 11 weeks onwards...that will be before the detailed fetal abnormality scan at 20 weeks.
There's one aunty slightly chubby and shorter, her name also Joanna if I am not mistaken.
The young pretty Joanna was on leave when I visited yesterday
Half Oscar is the NT Scan lor, to check the NT and Nasal Bone..
Also, the NT Scan is quite detailed, songrapher will explain to you throughout the scan, when he/she see the bb's hand, feet, spine, etc., quite worth it for the price paid (to me), heh..
my friend in CCK recommended Dr. Chia Yee Tien in CCK, who delivers at Mount E, but I didn't go to her...just personal preference. Depends if you want to consider.Hi all mummies to be. Im new here n im 8weeks now. Any good recommendation of gyane at west side?
Thanks babe.. But I prefer KK hospital.my friend in CCK recommended Dr. Chia Yee Tien in CCK, who delivers at Mount E, but I didn't go to her...just personal preference. Depends if you want to consider.
Hi Mummies...
1st time mummy here. considered high risk pregnancy coz of age and medical condition. Medical condition is controlled. I should be into my 9th week now and i have been spotting since 6th week, basically is since i can see the sprout growing in the sac. and i also have seen gynae for like 4 times coz of the spotting. Given Utrogestan and folic. Gynae said nothing he can do for the spotting. Even I don't move much, i will still spot but my spotting doesn't soak the panty liner tho. anyone experience it b4?
