Hi mummies,

Just went for review last night, BB growing up. Now already 5cm long. Growing well... Had drawn blood and taken the measurement for the test for down syndrome.. How much did you all did for the test? I spent $388 on the test alone... =(

Hi MummyCarol, my bill will be $340+. However they split into 2 payments - one time I paid for the blood test, next time will be the scan. Is it your second appointment? For me it becomes not so expensive, because scan will be on my 12th week and gynae told me I don't need to visit her that day. Thus, next time I'll come to see her only on my 20th week for a detailed scan and saving 100+ (because otherwise I would need to come one time before that, do a scan for $50+gynae fee).

Visited gynae today and opted for the Oscar test, He said it costs about $428 excluding gst. It will be at thomson medical centre. Where did you mummies go for the test? :)

Hi nomnom, who is your doctor? How often do you visit your gynae?

Hi mummies, is anybody loosing weight now? I've already lost 3.5kg and the weight is still going down. Is it normal?

I lost 1 kg within a month, dunno if will go down further. cos i vomit, no appetite to eat.....
think you better consult your gynae.

now i always lie on bed whenever possible. cos got #1, feel so sad sometimes cannot play with her. sigh. can't wait for dec. cos hopefully by then my morning sickness and extreme body fatigue will be gone...my #1 i waited till my 4th mth before everything normalised.

Lost 2kg within a few weeks. Think due to very little intake of food and vomiting. I heard this is common in first trimester, but the nausea feeling is terrible. =_=

Hi nomnom, I seen Goh Shen Li before too. Very pretty and nice gynae. :)

Hi nomnom,

i'm a ftm... well i do vomit after i eat and i will feel hungry after that.. Normally my vomitting occurs during morning and afternoon... at night at least i can get the food down without vomiting.. So far my weight up and down though.. lost 1 kg then a week later my weight back to normal... haha

I used to see her while i was still conceiving for some checkup tests. After tested positive, i tried to make appointment but have to wait a month. My TCM doc asked me to see a gynae as soon as possible due to weak body constitution so im seeing another private gynae now. :)

I'm also having bad nausea day and night... every meal is a headache T_T

Yeah, I also think it happen because of very little of food intake... I hope it will be better in a couple of weeks. This time nausea feeling gives us a signal that baby is growing inside. One morning I didn't have nausea and started really worrying!

Hi nomnom, my next scan will be on 5th as well in kkh :) what time is yours?

Hi nomnom, mine will be in the morning...

I'm not sure - should we avoid tea now or only coffee? Do you, mummies, drink tea? What other food restrictions do you have?

Hi aidawaheeda hehe sounds funny but ya that's quite demanding! Try eating something similiar which is easily available to the food u are craving while waiting for the day to get the craved food? hehe :) Hi Cony i do still drink tea (green tea) occasionally. I avoid coffee tho. Guess if take small amounts is ok? Random but i read in kkh pamphlet and in forums that pineapple is ok to eat (not excessively) while pregnant. Have always thought its a nono. :)
