Ohh hi there...its uncommon to see subsidized patient here..especially from the same hospital. I feel that more mummies goes to NUH now rather than KKH (correct me if I'm wrong) for subsidized.

true. most of the parents here all from private. haha. to me NUH is nearer. That's why i choose there.

Had runny nose & feel slight feverish since sunday too. Saw a gp on monday who gave me "pregnancy-safe" meds. But till now, i didnt dare touch the meds..asi googled abt them, most says eat if benefits outweighs risk as i guess they cant test on pregnant lady...so i try to rely on own body to fight. Is it normal that i get so absorbed into my own fight with virus that i dun feel the usual cramps of baby growing or stop having evening sickness. So worried baby affected. Am abt 11 wks tmr. Anyone taken any flu meds prescribed by doc & is okay?
 
I had seen a gp for my fever and flu during first pregnancy. Was also worried that it might affect the baby. I took it and felt better the next day. I think mummy's body needs to be strong to grow baby well. Consult my gynae for second opinion and he said it's fine. If fever gets worse, think might need to take even stronger medicine. So can always ask gynae if still in doubt.

Me! I went gp when I had sorethroat and fever. I took the prescribed medication by the GP. But I did confirm with the GP that it's safe for pregnant women. I felt better after the second dose :)

Don't worry too much about not having cramps / evening sickness. Probably because you are graduating from the first trimester! Stay positive and don't think too much k!

but just curious how you know your exact EDD? the scan in NUH didn't give me the EDD leh. and even the gynae only tell me a range when i ask him. not the exact date.
Click to expand...
Me too. Subsidised in NUH. My first EDD was also calculated as March from LMP date (last menstrual period). My EDD was also pushed to April, after the doctor measured the fetus, head to feet, in the scan. The scanner will show the date according to how large in cm your child is.

My friend also recommended Clarins to us. Do let me know how was it.
My Wife tried the bio-oil and so far no itch. But she did say don't see results. But I told her she only start about 1 week and only once daily applied. So I don't think result will show fast

Mine was measured at week 8 and 12.

During your scan with your gynae, or if subsidised with the medical officer, just ask how large in cm your baby is. The technical term for it is Crown-to-Rump.

(Not mine - just a Google pic) This is what the ultrasound print out will have, a dotted line with the measurement.

I cannot remember when I started for my 1st kid ... probably somewhere in 2nd trimester.
I think I may start soon... my tummy is very visible and very stretched aldy, maybe cos it's my 2nd one... and I'm very small built

Hello! There's an upcoming "baby market fair" from 13-15 Oct, claiming to be the largest baby fair in South East Asia. Do you all happen to know if this is worth going? I am wondering if it is too early to get the baby stuffs since EDD is only in Apr next year.

No need to get everything at one baby fair.. basically just need the essential ones to be ready when bb comes, e.g. cot, breastpump, steriliser. So can get these first if SuperMom Fair in March is too late. Essentials like diapers, laundry detergent and bottle detergent etc. you can always stock up later in Mar, nearer EDD or even in confinement. Then items like car seat, stroller, feeding or food preparation equipment which you don't need immediately when bb is born, you can wait for the SuperMom Fair in Mar.. maybe got new models or better deals?
Click to expand...

Ohhh hehe ok ok thank you for the tips! Lots of things to stock up for a first time mum. Hopefully I can get some hand me downs from friends/cousins
 
Anyone still feeling sick at week 13? I fell sick last week and had very bad headache plus vomiting Ytd.. looks like not getting better though approaching 2nd trimester o_O
 
going for my Panorama test at thomson medical this week..
pray tat my result will be fine and ok...
regarding the gender, is it optional or it will be included in the report as well?
