So , soon you goin to do your detail n FA scan ?

No, I won't be going for the 2nd tri detail scan. My gynae told me that the detail scan can pick up around 95% of any abnormalities, and he can pick up around 93%, if I trust him, I can don't spend the money to go for the scan. And my hubby and I trust him, and my mum-in-law trust him alot too, as he has been the gynae for my mum-in-law ever since my hubby was born, he is extremely experienced and nice.

Hi Doreen and i1babies, I m now at 23rd wk.. did my FA scan 2 wks ago.. it only costs S$110 for me at SGH. I guess it depends on each individual, I rather spend this money and get a proper assurance cos to my understanding when I do my FA scan, it is done by sonographer n not by a gynae. For mine, she ask me to do a more detailed scanning due to my age n true enough, I can really see my baby's lip and nose and chin and even her spine and skull...:wong19:.. my girl keep sucking her hand...hehe....

As regard to tummy is smaller in the morning, I think it because we woke up with an empty stomach in the morning and as hours go by, we will eat our breakfast, brunch, lunch, snacks etc etc so I guess that y our tummy will become bigger in later part of a day???

Hi jespang, I know its easier said than done, but try to think of other stuffs whenever u find your tots straying to the stressful stuffs, your baby will feel your stress and worries too.. Take care!

Finally within these past few days, I can feel more frequent bubble-popping sensations in my tummy, which i believe are my baby kicking/punching inside! I found that its gets especially pronounced when I am having my meals! Such a funny but wonderful feeling...

Hi gals,

My gynae is at SGH so most probably I will delivery in SGH as well. So far no complain abt my gynae. As usual, alway hv to wait at least an hr for my turn and she always very very busy. Hv done both tests, my baby is fine n her organs are okay as well but her position is abit breech (which mean she lying at the lower part of my tummy). Hopefully her position will shift as she grow bigger.

As weeks goes by, my baby kicks and/or movement is getting stronger.. esp after meals or when I m going to sleep at night.

I hardly talk to my baby cos dunno wat to say...:shyxxx:.. except sometime I will greet "good morning" or "good night" but it seem that I m talking to air... no response leh...hehe...

I dun really press my tummy very often but once awhile can feel my tummy is very hard. During my last visit, my doc mentioned that my uterus seem abit hard, told me to have more rest. Anyway dun think too much... very soon u will feel ur baby moving and trust me, u will feel more secure by then.

Btw, hv u start hunting for a confinement lady?? I was told by many people that now is abit late to start looking, must quickly book or else all the good ones are taken up.
