Is your fever severe? Admission into hospital due to fever seems worried. Hope you do have a speed recovery!!

I had have my OSCAR scanning this morning at Thomson Medical Centre.
Average of NT thickness <2mm, CRL 3.67cm (12wks 3 days), heartbeat 166bpm. Saw bb little tiny arms, legs, and big head001_302 moving actively inside my womb. Amazing!! Also, blood was drew for beta-hcg and PPAP-A calculation for combined analysis of down syndrome.
Will meet my gynae, Dr Paul Tseng next sat morning to discuss the result with him. I understand that the OSCAR ratio might not be accurate for some people and this actually stress up the parents in amniocentesis analysis in further.
Do hope my little precious be a superb healthy snake bb throughout the whole pregnancy! :shyxxx:

Welcome to this thread, Smilem :001_302:
Yes, the OSCAR should be performed btw 11-13weeks. Prior to 11 weeks, fetus is too small for the NT thickness measurement. After 13 weeks, the fluid behind the neck will be reduced and therefore 11-13 weeks of gestational week is the ideal period for OSCAR scanning.
OSCAR consists of 2 parts - Ultrasound (to check the NT thickness) and blood test (b-hcg and PPAP-A). And all the result will be considered and a risk ratio is calculated. If you are in the high risk, gynae will ask u either u wanna to go for more invasive testing yet confirming result - amniocentesis (as what u describe - poke big needle into tummy and extract fluid).
It is pretty fast for me to have the OSCAR scan this morning - total spend 1.5 hours. Hate to wait for very long time.

Hihi,
I am expecting my first baby and currently am at 10 weeks 6 days. Have been feeling sick everyday not just the usual morning sickness.
My Gynea is Dr Sim Lim Ngor from Thomason Medical. I am scheduled to do Oscar scan in week 12. Didn't know the scan will take so long. I book my oscar scan and appointment with the dr back to back. Can I know whether I will know the results of the scan immediately on that day?
ArDz dear, so glad to hear from you..
& I am soo sorry for the loss dear... Rest well & take care ok..

Halo kiwicake, the ultrasound of OSCAR only take 10mins to measure neck fluid thickness. Blood test even faster. The total waiting time and diagnosis took me 1.5 hours. The result won't be available on the same day, probably few days. I only meet with my Gynae next Sat to discuss the result : )
Hi Smilem,
Did you ask your gynae the reason for checking so early? Accordingly to my gynae, it is better to scan after week 11 as the baby is more developed so easier to detect any problem.

Mine also at Thomson Medical Centre. Hmmm..... how come the prices come with sooooooo different even though at same institute? My first consultation cost me $250 but they said it will be reduced down to $100++ for follow up check up.
Hey mummies! Yeah I'm out! Wahahaha..
Welcome all new mummies to the thread. I don't think I got UTI, but anyway the antibiotics worked!
I requested for Dr Goh during my stay in KK. She is very nice. So looks set I will change doc and go back to KK. I really love all the nurses and staffs at KK. This two days only reinforced in wanna deliver in KK again! I remember I got alot of support on breastfeeding from everyone there. So I tribute a large part of my breastfeeding success to them.
Neymo, on the whole Medela is a much more well liked brand. But they have different models. Like happyqueen shared, it's good to get a dual pump. So you pump both sides at same time. Usually pump one side the other will leak. Most prob if you get two single pump it's going to cost like a dual pump. And a dual pump can also function as a single pump. Medela is expensive. A Medela freestyle cost maybe $800, but it's really premium and reliable. Ameda lactaline can do exactly what freestyle does and at Robinson sale you can get at $250. So you choose. I choose ameda due to price.
Medela swing is cheaper, but I'm not sure on its function. Whether it can adjust suction speed and suction power. Hmmm..

Hey ,
I used medela swing previously . But got to make a few trips to service centre cos the milk flow back to the machine or machine stop moving suddenly . They allow one time change to a new machine.
Generally, it was ok . It does has a option to choose the speed. Guess that was reviewed as the best single pump quite some time ago?
Think I'm gg to get the ameda double in the coming robinson sale as what lucky mum has got.
