IVF Mummies-To-Be Support Group


Hazel, ya I think it really cleared from my mind on last Monday scan 20 weeks scan. But those scan before this dr also will see face features n those side view can see my bb nose normal look kind lo so I don't really worry much. For me jus keep on praying for perfectly develop baby to ease
my mind.
Every scan dr always said bb very active n yet I don't feel it lo. So only at every scan I'm reassure bb is ok.
Bee, thanks for updated list
 
juju,
nice memories for parents too! kekeke
does jodie look like the 3D scans that u did when she was born? gynae was saying that my baby has very chubby cheeks and look like me... and hubby is jealous... kakaka...
 
Bakaholic, that visit will be the one he will explain the blood test with u. But I called up 3 days after Bt for the result was told to call back only after a week so I called again lo. Meant I know the Bt result before app with prof but combined result with the scan result only during app with prof.

Yalo if I know only that price will go for 3D at Nuh. My 2D scan at TMC was $180 le.
 
Congratulations Babyhopepath. Wishing you a smooth and enjoyable pregnancy.

Hazel, it is common for us to worry but don’t let that affect you too much as may affect your baby. Stay positive always.

Juju, the scan very clear, good memento to keep.
 
vi4n,
u still got chance... 3D is usually done around 30 wks...

Hazel,

20 weeks detailed scan was done by a sonographer. She said twin boy's brain is blocked by twin gal. When I saw Dr Loh, he told us that the water level in twin boy's brain is at the borderline. If it increase, it might affect him mentally. I think u would freak out too if u hear that. 

My dh's side has mental illness history.

I went back 2 days later to rescan. This time by a Principal sonographer. She told us it's at normal level now. 
 
Diveera, thanks!

Spiffy, did Dr. Loh tell you when the MC/HL will start? I need to inform my boss in advance so that she can get someone to cover my work when I'm not around. Same like you, I also hope to carry my twins to as far as I could cos I want a chubby & healthy BBs
happy.gif
Though not too big till I'll have problem walking and always need bedrest..hehe

I think it's still early for me to feel BBs movement yet. During the early days of preg, it was terrible for me. I vomitted every night and could not sleep thereafter. Ate very little and lost 4kgs. Doc said it's normal as I'll gain more during 2nd trimester. ;-)
 
Singapoh, yes I will freak out!! But u did not even pour ur worries here to us... Okay, I know wat u mean.. Everything will be alright for my bb..

But how come dr loh made such comments?!

Diveera, Eskimo, okay I will myself not to worry.. Thanks for the support...
 
Hazel,

I didn't wanna say it here until I get a rescan. Me and dh just kept it to ourselves. No point making others worry.

Dr Loh can even joke that baby head will be as big as his. :p
 
Singapoh, I how many wks bbhp also the same....

Btw, on a positive note, my overall risk of 1/115 is just slightly lower than 1/165 which I started with coz of my age. For my bt, only 1 factor I did not do well not both factor n my bb CRL n NT are also very good.. Just the nasal bone not well seen.. Just take wat the sonographer's words tt it is indeed quite common at early stage of pregnancy...
 
babyhopepath, i'm with dr kelly actually. think it's a bit early to be pre-empting the boss about HL?
happy.gif
Some doctors only order bed rest in threatened pregnancies. (btw, bed rest can be partial or complete - if it's the latter, you can't move around at all!) i think you should ask Dr Loh about this perhaps later in your pregnancy.

Anyway, it's really hard to say. If i can carry to 36 weeks, I will be very happy. Assuming i carry beyond that, i might ask for HL for the remainder of my pregnancy.

wow, singapoh, you're catching up in the weight game! i'm around 7.5kgs..hee..
 
Singapoh, I v worried that my weight gain will increase tremedously next 2 wks coz of the CNY goodies, and somehow, I cannot resist the temptations.....8P
 
hazel, good that both the scan and Dr Loh's appt can be on the same day.
p.s. 1mm difference is very little..considering the baby is moving and the sonographer has to enlarge the screen, there's bound to be a slight margin of error.. you reckon?
 
Spiffy, u sure u wan to do that? I'll be worried abt weight loss after delivery....now only tri 2 leh, cannot imagine how much we will gain in tri 3....but then, I'm looking forward to CNY, coz it jus means getting closer to receive my son...
 
Spiffy, ya, the 2nd time she took measurement the bb was curled up. I hv the pictures. Somemore bb was flicking the hands up n down.. So cute..
happy.gif
 
Soon to be, Spiffy,

I hv to avoid sugary food so no CNY goodies at all. I get my sugar from fruits. Also limit carbo and increase my protein intake. Diet plan includes high fibre food and 4 cups of milk daily. I won't even need calsium supplement.
 
Soon to be,

I just need to watch what I eat and control my portion. Instruct my maid not to use so much oil to cook. Today I had steamed threadfin, stir fry pork wz capsicum and fried French bean. Fruits.

For supper, I had 3 wheat crackers and milk.
 
Spiffy,

I can eat those anytime of the year , dun hv to wait till CNY ma.. I can take diet/light soft drinks once in a while. I guess I will hv a fat free pregnancy. Ha..
 
Singapoh. Did u check ur sugar level 2 hrs after food to make sure it is okay with this new diet n ur morning sugar level when u wake up?
 
Only then u will know which food will cause a surge in sugar level. eg though fruits sugar r generally better but some fruits like banana n watermelon will cause ur sugar level to rise more. Only by checking ur sugar level 2 hrs after each meal thAn u will know...

Btw, fried stuff has higher fat content n can cause sugar level to rise more
 
DO u take bread for breakfast? Take gardenia multiple grain bread with a low GI print on it. Tt bread Is gd for diabetic n will not cause sugar surge. If not, oats with milk is gd too. not the instAnt kind or sweetened kind of oatS but thoSe tt requires some quick cooking. Add some artificial sweetness If need..
 
Hazel,

I am given a schedule to check my glucose level. This week will be twice. After that once a week. Prick finger before food and 2 to 3 hours after food. 7 checks a day.

I am taking bread with low GI now. Medium size banana and 1 slice of watermelon are fine.

No durian and avocado.
 
Dried fruits are not allowed. High sugar content.

Only 2 tsp of oil per adult portion to be used in cooking including olive oil.

Food cooked with coconut milk are not allowed.

I can only take 1 type of yoghurt. Yogplait For Me No Fat ( green lable)
 
hi singapoh, this is interesting. i can understand low sugar foods, but the low oil/fat is part of eating healthily, not related to the gestational diabetes is it?
 
Spiffy,

According to the guide it says :

"Fat is the richest source of energy in the diet. Fat does not directly raise your blood glucose level, but high fat diets lead to excessive weight gain and poor diabetes control".
 
Yumyum,

weight gain in 3rd tri goes to the baby and very fast. Got to control yr intake a bit. If baby is too big, difficult to deliver.
 
i know, but seeing your diet is a reminder for me to eat healthily too..
singapoh, i think you mentioned babies sleeping with you on the floor? is this in the master bedroom? Just wondering how dh will sleep when bbs cry.
 
Hazel, Fresh - as updated

Juju, you posted b4 but I dun remember. what teat and bottle are you using? i want to teach my boy to drink emb from bottle. tried 4 times, succeed once only.. haiz!
 
Spiffy,

I was turned off by oily food in my previous pregnancy but this time I hv to avoid them.

If we move b4 I deliver, our master bedroom is big enough to put mattress on the floor plus extra single mattress and cot. If not, babies will zzz in another room.
 
bee,
jodie started off wif medela btl &amp; nuk teats.
actually, i think it doesn't matter. she cried like hell &amp; starved herself. i had to force her to the btl so dat she can take the btl when she goes to ifc.
jus keep trying. do it during mid-day feed, make sure jun is not too hungry also.
