cos boy easier to confirm.

ms hae,
im 17 weeks now. i felt some bubbles but not everyday. sometime have sometime dont have. not sure is it that. im sure you will be able to know your babies gender on your FA scan.
 


Hi yck
Wow, that's wonderful to hear. Am going for 15 wk scan next wk, hopefully will be able to tell the gender of my babies

Did you know the gender of your bbs thru scan or FA test?

Hi bakaholic
Try to Manuka honey (as it contains anti-bac thingy). Have you 'get used' to the prengyl and proluton jabs yet? Hopefully and finally be on the last jab tmrw...
 
Hey Josephine,
My scan next wk. Hopefully everything is fine.

Usually twins EDD will be slightly early.

Hi Emma,
I will check out the Manuka honey.
Yeah, now very used to the jabs. Not much pain now. But I got problems breaking the stupid vials for the prengyl. Always broken on top and not on the neck.

So any other meds/jabs after the 1st trimester?
 
emma,
i got to know through normal scan. gynae just scan at their leg areas when they opened up. if boy sure see "that thing" if girl will be "kosong". unlike FA scan, will show you the magnified version of the penis for boy and clitoris / labia for the girl. thats y i hope that the girl will not become boy during my detail scan

but my gynae quite sure about it. but of cos end of the day, most importantly is both babies are healthy

Hi Emma,
Congrats to you for passing the first trimester milestone. Your condition should be more stable now. I am still 4 more weeks in order to reach this stage. May i know what is braxton hicks contraction? Is it a norm to happen to preggie women?

Hi YCK,
Wow, you have got a girl and a boy. Congrats! You have my envy. That's a very nice combination

.
Yes, Dr Loh = SF Loh.
Hopefully things willl move on smoothly for me. Thanks!

Hi Maykel,
Good luck to your scan today. Keep us updated ya.
 
Hi Bakaholic
Usually my hubby will break the vials, I had problem breaking the vials too.
Now am taking folic, iron,fish oils n vit c. Proluton jab will be last for me tmrw and will go for my scan next wk, hopefully need no more proluton. At wk 12, prof will ask you to go over to NUH for NT scan..

Hi yck
Oh I see, thanks for sharing. When are you going for your FA test? Stocking up baby stuffs yet?
 
Hi Cale
Thanks! 4 more wks will soon pass. Just have plenty of rest and take things easy.
As for Braxton Hicks contraction, some people will call it 'false labour'. It happens in most women. Will find out more from my doc on my scan nx wk. Found a website that explains BHC,you might want to read it as reference. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/labornbirth/braxtonhicks.html.

Hi Ladies
Was reading this forum and notice some ladies suggest not to drink cold/ice beverages...May I know why leh? Think i have been drinking cold beverages almost everyday.

Hi Miss Hae
Are you still taking birds' nest?
 
Hi Yck,
A boy & a girl! Wow, Congrats! Was hoping for the same combination so I can close shop... But it's true, as long as our babies are healthy and strong, it's the most impotant

Hi Josephine,
You must be very excited, Twins! Congrats!

Hi Maykel,
Confirm Dr Loh very busy on Monday cos my gf was in labour since 5 plus in the evening and only gave birth the next day morning. Her gynae is Dr Loh.
Yup, the taste in the mouth is a little bitter and sometimes
i get very thirsty. Woke up this morning feeling great, had my b'fast and didn't feel nausea at all. But when I brush my teeth 1 hr later, I threw up all my b'fast again... sigh... hubby now worried bb not enough nutrition... Do keep us updated on ur scan!
 
Hi Emma,
Wow, you mean you have been taking cold beverages! I'm dying for a coke now and don't care even if it's not cold..keekee... My mum doesn't allow me to drink any cold drinks cos I've got a 'cold' womb and I can't even drink Salted Veg Duck Soup. Salted Veg is also very cooling.
 
Emma,
my FA scan in another 3 weeks time. have not start buying anything yet cos i "pantang". will only stary buying when i hit 6 months.

btw, i also take cold drinks everyday. of cos not those with many ice. but refrigerated juices. and i heard that not to take too much bird nest. only start taking near end of 2nd trimester to beginning of 3rd trimester which is the most effective time. too much bird nest will cause the baby to have too much phlegm.
 
Hi Cale,
Thanks. I will extra care. You too, must extra care and rest well.
How are you? Is the Bleeding stop?

Hi Mikojade,
Excited, yes. But still must extra careful. Thanks.
 
hi ladies,
went for my Fetal Screening Scan yesterday. hehe.. and it was so wonderful to see my baby. the scan further confirms my baby is an active one. the doc took 3 pauses on the monitor during my scan and after he unpause the monitor once he finished pressing those buttons on the computer, after every time, my baby has changed position. haha, it soon became our amusement, coz at one point, its head was on the left, the next, the head was on the right, then it was looking down, then it faces the camera.. haha.. even doc said, woah, your baby changed position so fast!

my sis was the one accompanying me, she had such a fun time looking at the monitor. in the end as a bonus, the doc let me hear the baby's heartbeat. it was so surreal.

i came out of the scanning room feeling on cloud nine.. baby is progressing well, doc assured my the risk of Down Syndrome is low and that baby is growing according to the estimated EDD. hehe..
 
Merlenna,
great to hear that! So happy to see baby so active and growing well. Can feel your joy and excitement!

So your scan was done by doc? Not anymore by other doc like the first scan? When will the scans be done by our own doc?
 
hi bliss,
oh, my first 2 scan was done at amc at level 1 inside the women's specialist clinic. that was done by the sonographer. 6 weeks scan and 8 weeks scan. then my 11 weeks scan was done by doc sadhana, coz she wanted to do it herself as its towards the end of 1st trimester. then this final scan was done at adc clinic on the 2nd level by a doc located there coz its a special scan (fetal screening) for down syndrome. and then soon comes my gender confirmation scan sometime during my 5th month pregnancy. that was booked yesterday when i was done with the scan. sometime in november. that would be an exciting one!

haha, don't worry abt the scans lah.. go with the flow. the doc will tell you what to do, when to do and where to do it. hehe.. literally they'll hand-h
