Hi Aileen, good that u r more settled..just keep eating healthy things and keep that faith. All the best!
Piyobaby, yes, I remember u..
Congrats on the very good news. Its quite fun to see if ur bb will catch the tail of mickey (minnie) or the head of ox (cow)..heeeheeee..keep us posted and enjoy ur new motherhood..
Piyobaby, yes, I remember u..
Jappooh / piyobaby - got one silly question for u... that time when ur haven seen heartbeat at end of week 5, was there any yolk sac? that day at 6 weeks exactly when i went, Dr Adrian said can see a bit of yolk sac which i cant see fr the screen at all. me la, went to read up again on heartbeat and all, getting a bit worried again.. argh! itchy hand, i shouldn't have read so much. but still, i saw alot of them only get to see the HB at 6weeks plus so thats something heartening...
jappooh...guess to have someone u know as care-giver is always the best...can have peace of mind compared to domestic helper when we noe the horrendous stuff they can go nowadays but of cos not all are like dat....
glad dat ur MS is easing off le....mi stayed near yew tee side....=)
thanks bubbleteahut...leaving the choice up to Baby...haha
Aileen...dun have to get all worried cos his ultrasound is a little old thus alot of times can only imagine and make believe....sometimes a matter of few days can make a great deal of difference...have trust in ur baby....diff foetus grow at diff rates so dun compare & make urself unduly worried...

Aileen,
i can understand your feeling. When i was in my 6 wks i went for my scan and Dr Adrian say "good the water sac get bigger means it growing but cant see anything inside yet". Actually after hearing that i wanted to cry cos most of the ppl i knw can see heartbeat by then liao. Though my MS kicks in already i am still worried. Like u i went to read up that even u have MS u might get a empty sac as well. After that my heart sank, when i told my hubby abt wat i read he get worried too. But i cant believe that 3 days later i went back to Dr Adrian cos my puke till have blood and this time manage to see the heartbeat already. Only 3 days it make a big diff.
Piyobaby,
but when this 2nd one comes by we might need to get a maid liao cos my MIL cant cope with 2. Now i am down with flu. So tired. Cant wait to go hm and rest.

Jappooh....i notice dat i tend to get blocked / stuffed nose veri easily too....read dat it's contributed by more blood flowing to the nose or sumthg of dat nature...drink more water and have a good rest okie....=)
im still considering on the engagement of CL but was put off by the cost which is scary....domestic helper oso another consideration....have not got down to actual planning as yet...not even thinking who will be the main care-giver...haha

Piyo, congrats ya! I hve not visited the forum quite a while as I was busy shifting to my new place. My boy was sick too and I am falling sick too. Feeling feverish n my throat hurts!
An update abt me... I have been trying since my MC till now. Sigh! No gd news... my AF has not been accurate either. about 40 days cycle. Me has been too sianz n disappointed to count my fertile dates too....Sometimes, I wonder if my bb wish will be granted.

Hi Ladies, I visited this forum in March 08 because I had a missed miscarriage which I found out a day before my ROM. Nvm I did not give up. I tried again in June and I was preggy again, so I migrate to MTB 08 but looks like I'm going to come back here again because I lost my baby AGAIN! @ 5 weeks.
Someone please advise. I'm lying in the hospital now. Can't take the pain of losing 2 in a row.

Hi Mummy Bear
Very sorry. But isn't, the heart beat supposed to appear at 6 weeks? When I was pregnant, only a sac was seen at 5 weeks and the doctor did say that the heart beat should appear on the 6th week. It did but but no heart beat was seen at 8 weeks. That was my second miscarriage. In my first pregnancy, a sac was also seen at 5 weeks but no heart beat at 6 and 7 weeks.
Why don't you check with your doctor again? If it is really confirmed that there is no heart beat, maybe you might want to ask your doctor about having a chromosome study done. This is what I had after my second miscarriage.
Mummy Bear, i really understand what you are going through. This brings back memories of my miscarriages and I'm already tearing up. Pls hang in there and don't give up hope.

Dear Ladies,
There is an article in Mind Your Body today...about stillbirth & recurrent m/cs. So scary. Hopefully none of us have to go thru such unfortunate incidents again....
Dear Mummy Bear,
Sorry to hear about your case...I also have had repeated m/c. The important thing now is to improve your health and to stay positive.

Mala & Pregfurs - Yes I know the heartbeat can only be detected at only 6 weeks because I discover I was pregnant when I was 6 weeks the first time. This time round is too soon. Can't even see the heartbeat and it's gone already.
Mala where did you do the chromosome test? How is it done?
Pinkpixel - Thanks, I don't even dare to think of the third one now. It's a nightmare for me this year. I guess you know how I feel now.
Porky Jean - I was hospitalise for 2 days because I had a incomplete miscarriage so they have to evacuate the uterus for me AGAIN. It was worse then the 1st time because I had to be push to the operating theatre. I've already been discharged. I guess your good news should be on the way soon.
Good Luck!
Cheekz - Doc didn't says anything. And no doc can tell me why it happen like that. I'm suppose to go back for review and TAKE MY BLOOD to test if the HCG is going down.
wtpooh & Piyobaby - Thanks
Anybody seeing Chinese Physician to "tiao" your body? Guess my body is damn weak.

Hi Mummy Bear
So sorry once again.
I did my chromosome test with Thomson Medical centre under Dr LC Cheng. Once the miscarriage was confirmed, a D&C was done since I did not expel the foetus naturally.
The remnants are then sent to the lab for the study. I had to wait for 1 month before the report was out. It is quite costly and it is recommended only for those who had two miscarriages and above.
I was very tensed all the while because I thought that there were genetic abnormalities which would be difficult to correct. Fortunately, there weren't any and it was a just a normal miscarriage that happened by chance.At least, it put my mind at ease.
Mummy Bear, give your body a rest. My two pregnancies were conceived through IUI and IVF. I'm currently about to embark on my fourth IVF. I'm also taking Chinese medicine and doing acupuncture as well. Maybe you'll like to consider doing this as well.
I wish you all the best and pls take care.

Hi Mala
I discovered my first miscarriage at 10 weeks and realise that there's no heart beat and I had to do a D&C. I did check with the doctor if I should do a test to see what happens but he advise that this is quite common unless is a repeated M/C.
The 2nd time I just M/C naturally and I believe the embryo was bled out. My husband was outstation and I was too lost to ask the doctor anything about the test or something.
Thanks for the advise.

Ladies - went to see gynae ytd and got to see bb's heartbeat
Dr make me panick a bit cos he look at the screen for very long and i think he was trying to get a better view to measure, so it was after a long while ( seems eternity to me ) that he said the little white spot is the heartbeat..whew! asked him if the heartbeat rate is ok, he says ok.. but hor, i tink bb abit small, ytd oni 6w2day tho shld b 7wk. anyway,its always +/- 6 days rite? went home to check on my gal's u/s scan and she also measure oni 6wk+ when it was supposed to be 7wk2d,so i guess no worries bah.. i cant really make out bb fr the scan,looks like one small smudge..hope can see better at next scan. asked doc if everytin is fine, he say at present looks ok, but of cos he cant guarantee anytin.. tink he can c i was abit worried bout the size and stressed up..he just tell me to eat my hormone pills and rest well... anyway, thank God that the scan went well ytd...

Hi Cheekz, good to hear from u too
.... I have been doing my yoga and running with family regimen which were things I enjoyed doing before the mcs and still hoping to hve a better preg in future. Hope the sisters here can also take time off to pamper urselves like those days before ur marriage/children becoz we have really been thru though times and deserve pampering.
Cheekz, come back often to "visit" us if u have time k
Pinkpixel, thanks for sharing. I will seek out that article.
Mummy Bear, Don’t despair, there will be times u find that u can’t go on anymore, and when u feel like that, don’t be afraid to cry or tell us/ur family. I understand the feeling of having to do a 2nd mini confinement as I have been there before but u must think long term, its painful for now but its ultimately for ur future happiness . Pls take care of urself.

congrats Aileen....exactly the same feeling I have right now cos he took a while to get a clearer view which make my heart stop....in fact when I went for my Oscar @ TMC...the sonograhper was saying that based on the measurements to estimate the EDD / gestattion age of foetus has a +/- of 2 weeks....
jappooh....congrats on ur mickey...hw many weeks are u for him to identify? I went too see him yest morning as well due to MS + slight fever and was given 2 days MC too.....=)

Bubbleteahut I just cannot explain to you how I feel now. Very negative about things already I took to courage to try again because doctor said that chances of a successful pregnancy is very high and will be very fertile after the few months but look? I get nothing out of it. I'm frustrated, angry, upset disappointed. I cannot control. Now serving the confinement makes me wanna go crazy.
Now I see children I phobia
