I can feel you. Likewise for me, my energy level is so low these days due to the all day MS
I am drawing blood for the panaroma test next Monday!

I am drawing blood for the panaroma test next Monday!
I think oscar is about $400-$500. Panorama is $980 for blood but gynae wants me to do the NT scan as well, is that standard for panorama?
Drawing blood and scan in end Aug for me when I'm at week 12.
Same, energy has been quite low too. What is the difference between Harmony and Oscar test? Panaroma test is very expensive right?
Hi Mummies, I am having #2 after 10 yrs. Anyone has gynaecologist who is experienced in high risk pregnancy? I am in my 40. Thanks in advance.
Anybody seeing NUH subsided?
The wait is crazy! my first appt is on 14 Sept.. which i be 12 weeks...
Ended up seeing pvt gynae first to ensure myself.
I see, thanks!My friend never do NT scan, just draw blood for panorama
I thought Harmony and Panaroma are the same except the name?
Oscar will determine on the blood test and the NT scan, results will be in ratio format.
Harmony is blood test results and you will know the sex of the baby.
I did Oscar the other time, wondering to do Harmony/Panorama this round.

I considered going under subsidised! Didn't know the wait is so long. In the end decided against it cos i wanted an early scan. Now with prof biswas at sapphire clinic
I see, thanks! Since my gynae wants to see the scan I guess I have to do it then. Panorama has a 99% accuracy. I think the results come back also state low or high risk only.
I am with NUH as a private patient for my #1.
My pregnancy was a bit complicated as i am diagnose with a blood deficiency that might cause blood clots so was on daily blood thinner injection for my #1 since 15wks till birth. The cost was rather high at $6 - 8 / jab.
Thus this round, not sure if i need the injections again, thus going on the sub route to save the jabs cost in long run. Sub is half the price for jabs. If i need.. then will be daily injections + monthly blood test for monitoring.
Hopefully NUH will place me in high risk dept given my records with them.
Sunflower, if placed in high risk dept at clinic G it means you will see the more senior doctors? It's something i worried about, that if we go in under subsidised will be seeing only the trainee docs..
it's not a bad thing to do the NT scan... during the NT scan for my #3 at kkh the sonographer for us happened to be a fetal maternal specialist gynae, and she spotted some abnomalities with the development of the baby's heart configuration so she placed us under the maternal fetal care unit at kkh ADC from the 12th week onwards. Until the heart defect was confirmed for sure at the 20th week scan.
But the oscar and NT scan for the presence of the nasal bone itself was fine. so effectively the NT scan done at 12 weeks allowed her to pick up earlier that something wasn't quite right
I know a mummy here during my #1 pregnancy and she was sub and transferred to the high risk, she was monitored by seniors doc.
We have similar conditions, so hopefully I get transferred there too.
If not, then i change to private. i gotta give it a try.
We can change to private at any point in time. They definitely welcome you to do that.

Thanks for the information.Hi Chino, congrats!!!
i'm seeing Prof Arijit Biswas at NUH, he's a high risk specialist. He's lovely.
I'm 35, but my pregnancies have all been on the complicated side cos have had 4 miscarriages, and kid #1 had IUGR, #2 has a rare genetic disorder and #3 a heart defect detected at the 20th week detailed scan. So i'm in the high risk group!
Hi absentmama,
I see that you are seeing prof biswas too! I have my 1st appt with him next sat at 14 weeks. Wonder if he will be ok to accept me as a "transfer case" with all my medical reports and current treatment to manage low protein s. First time changing gynae during pg and wonder if they will feel offended and brush aside the history.
Hi sunflower
Did you have protein s deficiency? I have it for this pg and currently seeing a private gynae paying $9 per jab for clexane and $150 for blood test. I am planning to switch to nuh after getting my fts results. However since its already 13w, i am thinking i can't wait for subsidised since it will take months. How much did you pay for blood tests in nuh as private patient and which gynae did you see?
sigh now i sort of regret going straight to private since i was already under subsidised at clinic G for other problems... just saw dr susie logan there only recently before i found out about the pregnancy. Maybe they would have put me in high risk too..

Aiyo!! Ouch!!i'll take the excessive saliva over what i'm having - a whole mouth filled with ulcers! They're literally a pain and ulcers plus nausea is no fun...
Dear all,
I belong to April 2018 mummies to be but wanted to ask all of you who have passed the stage of week 6. Do you experience any light brown spotting? I noticed I have traces of brown stain, less than spotting. I am so worried now. Can only call clinic tomorrow to ask.
Thanks Happycsk. Next appt will be coming Friday to check heartbeat. I hope it is normal and all right, am already on hormone pills. Will monitor and call clinic tmr.Have you seen baby heartbeat yet?
Spotting could be normal too. Dun worry so much. Go see gynae tmr. Likely will issue you progesterone hormone pills for you to support the pregnancy and stop the spotting. Brown spotting could be old blood.
Hi, I spotted brown last week and after a couple of mins it stopped. Next morning I spotted red. Just so happened it was my gynae appt that day so I told my gynae. Doc checked vaginal condition and said bleeding seemed to have stopped. She did the ultrasound scan to check on bb and it seemed to be fine. She placed me on an additional week of duphaston and increased the frequency I had to take it per day. She also told me to rest as much as possible and avoid exercising or anything strenuous.Dear all,

Am currently in my week 11 and first time feeling dizzy and headache for the whole day. Woke up the next day and still the same. Is this common sign of pregnancy? Am so worried.
Thanks Hygeia, I plan to monitor and if it persists, I will visit gynae immediately. So far so good, second time of brown stain spotted in the afternoon then no more after that.

I think if it doesn't persist, it should be fine. But be sure to inform ur gynae abt it on Fri just to be super sure.
Yup yup, np. Like what happycsk mentioned, it could also be some old blood discharge. Dun worry so much abt it, try to take it easy.Thanks Hygeia, I plan to monitor and if it persists, I will visit gynae immediately.

Hi mummies & mummies to be..
Any recommendations for nuh gynae? Googled Prof Mary Aruff but think she's not delivering le?
Had my #1 ar Glen E n spent a bomb so am thinking of checking NUH out after hearing good reviews.
Thanks in advance! =)
Hi. I'm 7weeks long going 8 soon. (Based on scan last wk)
Was at KKH for Hyperemesis Gravidarium. MS have been very challenging for me. Any tips ladies?
My #1 is with Dr Chua TM. She is a no nonsense doc but took good care of me.
I was a private patient then. Its not exactly cheap also becoz they charge doc fee and scans separately. (their scans are 100+). Package at 22 weeks only include doc consultation and 2 detail scans (20 weeks and 30 weeks) which are done by their sonographer.
Basically, you don't need pay for consultation after 22 weeks if you sign package but you still have to pay for scans if you want to see your bb. My doc just listen to heart beat and feel my bb position after 22 weeks.
Only did 2 more scans at the doc clinic at 3rd tri to check water level.
Its quite different from other private gynae which you will see bb everytime u go check up.
The savings comes from hospital bills when you deliver. That what i feel..
I stayed in their private suite the last time and was pretty impressed with their service. The nurses were very nice. That was around 2 yrs plus ago. haha
i've been feeling dizzy a lot too, since week 5. When I told the gynae he said it's a pregnancy symptom and is normal..
Am currently in my week 11 and first time feeling dizzy and headache for the whole day. Woke up the next day and still the same. Is this common sign of pregnancy? Am so worried.
Oh thanks sunflower307! Actually for #2 maybe no need scan during every visit unless necessary le hor..
Btw u chose to stay in suite still cheaper than private outside ma or comparable. I read only one suite?
