yes it's very contagious, you can ask yr niece to wear mask & wash throughly the things she touch & use,avoid sharing any food or drinks with her. if you have purifier,u can try switching it on too. avoid going too near her tooAny mummies encounter stomach flu before? I am living with my Niece and she is down with stomach flu. The doctor said it's highly contagious, which means there is high chance that I might catch it.
hi i happen to see the thread. i was with the high rish recurrent unit with NUH in last pregnancy a few years back. i seen Prof Mahesh and some other drs. So far at that point the person who can give me the most assurance is Dr anita. Im still seeing her now
Hi @CHH_Mummy ,Went for a scan on Saturday and all's good - the small pool of blood in my placenta seems to have emptied out. And baby's heartbeat is good. He/she has grown bigger too. Whew! Thank God.
I hope all mummies who are spotting will be ok soon too!
Gynae also said I can take my Harmony Test since I was there so I proceeded with it. Can't wait to get the results.
But ever since I'm on an increased dose of Duphaston (gynae said to continue to be safe), I've noticed that I've been having more discharge than usual. But not sure if they're related.
Hi ladies,Congrats!
I paid $1600 for the Harmony Test. I think the cheapest I've heard of is $1300.
Sometimes Oscar test can be wrong, so i dun go for oscar instead took NIPT directly even I am not high risk.
For twins, i dun think harmony and panorama will be suitable cos the blood test can detect the baby's DNA but not knowing is which baby's. U might want to check with your gynae for more details for twins. Oscar test is not really accurate as they measured by baby's neck thickness and also mother's age. For CVS/Amnio, it's 100% accuracy but there is 2-3% of miscarriage risk. If gynae doesn't give u a clearer explanation, u can Google for all these tests to understand even more before deciding with your hubby. For myself I did panorama test as my age is 40 and Oscar test confirm sure fail. And I do not want to go through mc risk as I had 2 mc before (not due to cvs/amnio test), thus I opt out cvs/amnio too.
I see.. ok I will have a chat with my gynae on this then..

Thanks for your feedback.hi i happen to see the thread. i was with the high rish recurrent unit with NUH in last pregnancy a few years back. i seen Prof Mahesh and some other drs. So far at that point the person who can give me the most assurance is Dr anita. Im still seeing her now
She's just a consultant if im not wrong, but i was very well taken care of and had a baby gal under her care. As i had 4 miscarriages before having my gal. She is patient and waiting time is abt 30mins with her. You can consider trying out if you dont mind that she has a lower title. For me im personally very grateful to her.
sometimes consultants might do better jobs than senior consultants ya. I will consider. Thanks muchie.Thank you. I just hope and pray I don't get it.

Self reminder to take small meals as to prevent bloatiness.
Excited & looking forward to seeing my gyne this Fri to find out how our little joy is doing
How much is harmony test?
I have to make my decision by this week as the Gynae told me the best time for me to take the blood test will be 5-9 June.Yes, harmony or panaroma or verifi prenatal test are NIPT. It is dpending on what your gynae offer, all are different prices.NIPT test is it the same as Harmony test? I went to TMC and they told me it's $1800 and OSCAR test will be $400. How many tubes of blood of they draw from the NIPT or Harmony test? The thoughts of going through blood drawing makes me shiver.
Mine is panorama test and it is also one of the NIPT. I did mine at $1.2k Gleneagles at my gynae clinic. It's 2 tubes of blood withdrawn.NIPT test is it the same as Harmony test? I went to TMC and they told me it's $1800 and OSCAR test will be $400. How many tubes of blood of they draw from the NIPT or Harmony test? The thoughts of going through blood drawing makes me shiver.
Huh?? Why so many tubes? Did she opt to do the extensive test too?My sis took 7 tubes of blood.
Not sure thou. But she told me she opted for Harmony test and they took 7 tubes of blood. That's why I was pretty scare.
What I've found out is there are quite a few of these NIPT tests available, mainly in the US (Harmony, Panorama, MaterniT21, Verifi). All the tests look for essentially the same thing but are done using slightly different sequencing techniques. For Sg, we have Harmony and Panorama. Panorama is the latest launch in 2013, Harmony launch in 2012. Panorama is cheaper and can be tested after 9 weeks and turn around time is 10 days for the results, accuracy is 99%. Harmony is more expensive and can be tested after 10 weeks and turn around time is 14 days for results, accuracy is also 99%. Actually both test is testing the same thing for the chromosomes of the baby, except that the Panorama is claiming over 99% accurate in detecting Trisomy 21, 18 and 13 which is slightly more than for the Harmony Test for Trisomy 18 and 13. So it depend on the clinic or hospital that u go to whether they have Panorama or Harmony test avaiĺable. Both test results came from USA as well but different company lab.
Hihi, Sg also have Verifi, i just done mine yesterday at my gynae.
Oops my bad. Hehe.. didn't know here have too.
Thank you!
Congrats.
Actually already have a name for him. When I was week 5 God already gave my hubby and me a vision of my baby gender with a name from bible. The only name now is Chinese name. God is really so good! Hehe!
Thank u!
Congrats !!!!
Thank U!
Congrats tingluvsbutt mommy..
Thank u littlepoppy123!Congrats tingluvsbutt mommy..
Yeah me! I start to have softer stools now I'm at 13 weeks plus and every day pooping. Before dis was constipated only every few days will poop.
Not exactly softer but maybe easier to come out? I find that squatting helps with my bowel movement tremendously.
Ya it's easier to come out than before. And yes I do feel some pains on off in lower abdomen. The same pains I feel during week 8 to 10. There are sharp pains at times too. I believe it's stretching. Baby is growing and need more space to move.
Dun worry. I guess our baby is growing and currently press on our intestines which make our pooping more frequent.
When is your next checkup with the gynae? If u didn't experience any spotting, it should be still fine.. Cos some cramp is due to the stretching of the womb..
No spotting, that's 1 reason why I didn't rush to my gynae to check.. tomorrow's my appt so I'm gonna ask him then.. I'm also guessing it's stretching of the womb but sometimes it lasts awhile, making it very difficult for me to move about..
I read about it too.. but doesn't feel like it sometimes.. I'll just ask my gynae tmr.. thanks! You take care too! Now everything gotta be extra careful..
Congrats!
I paid $1600 for the Harmony Test. I think the cheapest I've heard of is $1300.
I search quite a few prenatal massage and their suggested safe weeks to start massage is after 20 weeks. But I'm having upper back aches and shoulder aches already.
