Dr Benjamin Tham from TMC


starfruit,

Just checked my medication, duphaston is supposed to be taken 2 times a day, 1 tablet each time. Actually Dr Tham told me to stop taking it once I was quite near the end of the first trimester cos I said I was feeling okay.

<font color="aa00aa">Hi Starfruit, most gynae prescribe duphaston when the pregnancy got some complications like bleeding etc. But Dr Tham always say tat he's more kiasu so he rather prescribe to eat first for the first 3 mths. He said tat as long as we follow his prescriptions, we will be alright.

Luckymummy, thanks. Yeah, $1.50 is real cheap. So, I went to buy 2 mths supply which is $3.</font>

Starfruit, I was given duphaston despite not having any problems. Think as Daphne quoted Dr Tham, it is just to be safe rather than sorry?

winterluv, wow you had to wait a few hours? To think I was complaining when baby made me wait around 1 hour for him/her to change position.

starfruit,

err, no I only took it once a day, and only when I remembered. I really felt okay, so did not see the need for further 'pregnancy stabilising'. so maybe once every 2-3 days?
I did not have hormone jabs. What are those for?

<font color="aa00aa">starfruit, I am in my 14 weeks+. Same as luckymummy, we will be due in Jan'11.

I also did not take any hormones jabs. For Duphaston, I only took 1 once a day. But when I'm about 9 weeks, Dr Tham did not prescribe me any more as he said my pregnancy looks ok. So instead, he ask me to start taking fish oil, multi-vits &amp; calcium.

My oscar test is very fast also. My baby cooperate so the scan only took 15 mins. But the waiting time is quite long.</font>

<font color="aa00aa">Hi starfruit, I'm not a very pantang person. But think shd be ok. But if you are worried, maybe just reject her invitation.

The only thing I know is do not attend any wake or funeral (unless own family).</font>

I think the pantang part only comes in if your friend or you are pantang...or if her mum/mum-in-law minds (if they know). Wow if 'bai shi' is a reason not to attend weddings, then I have a valid excuse not to go for the weddings of not-so-close people! hehe

I just came back from an appointment with Dr Tham, he did a scan and preliminary analysis is that baby is a girl. Have to wait and confirm during the 20th week scan though. :p Guess it's easier to tell when it's a boy.

<font color="aa00aa">Hi luckymummy, think Dr Tham is usually quite accurate. Is this yr 16 week scan? Did he tell u 80% shd be girl?

For my #1, he told me 80% was boy when I went for my 16 week scan. I will be seeing him next wed for my amnio test (when I'm about 17 weeks).</font>

Daphne,

Yup, 16th-17th week check. I don't remember him mentioning percentages, but he said likely to be girl, and even drew a little green arrow pointing at the area between the legs (in the scan photo) and wrote girl there. Haha. But when my husband said is it confirmed he said nope. Can only tell more accurately at 20th week.

oh yeah, good luck on the results of your amnio test! When you do the amnio test they can tell based on the fluid the gender of the baby right? You hoping for a girl?

Girls are so much more fun to dress up. And hopefully more guai (not so hyperactive?). :p But now I take it as I still don't know, in case it's a boy.

<font color="aa00aa">Hi luckymummy, the amnio test will know the gender and it's 100% accurate. But will only know the results 2 to 3 weeks later. So, by tat time, I would have done my detail scan already.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a girl cos my #1 is a boy.</font>
