Hi all mtb i,m nw in wk 15. just went for my blood test ( e triple blood test thing) . a wk later gyane called me back for a vist. after e phone call from e clinic i started crying buckets cse i,m e emotional type so all sorts o things juz flashed through my mind n e next min hubby told me he took half day lve so we can visit e gynae asap. it turned out that i had 3 problems reflected in my blood test results.
1) glucos level too high gyane told me to cut dwn on sweet stuffs hmmm does it means i have to oso cut dwn on my fruits intake cse i eat quite a big portion of fruits but mainly apples,strawberrys n grapes. fruit juice=orange n carrot.
2) my haemogolbin reads 10.5mg so it falls below e range of 11.5mg-16.5mg so gyane ask if we have any family history of 'thalasemia' which both hubby n my families have no record of but i do have 'ping xue' n my mummy too. so gyane said i,m lack of nutrition n encourage me to take food like liver my question is do i still need to take a further blood test for thalasemia even though i,m just 1mg away?
3) which is e main issue gyane called us back is i,m under the increased risk for dwn syndrome i,m 32 this yr so e normal risk for my age grp is 1/680 but nw my ratio reads 1/200. therefore gyane gave us e option of doing e further test which both hubby n myself opt nt to as we do not want any risk hurting e bb in e process n i oso had advices from frens nt to take e test.
i cried n cried even when i was in clinic n after e visit. hubby had a hard time consolling me but i still need to know any information abt my problems from any mtbs who have any information or advice to share w me as i,m really really very worried. thk you all.................
