that's why my choice of dr all in the east .
don't worry too much! i suppose it's ok. i also experience backache. in fact had diarrhoea almost whole of last week. still feeling bloated and always feels like releasing air .
super tempted to go for tcm massage for my backache but i guess that's a big NO to do so!

Hi cjanice,
Yup, I am also experiencing bloating.. can no longer fit into pants and shorts.. so uncomfortable ..
She still do have the package. Both hubby and I really like her. She's honest and straight forward with lots of advice. I'm about 6 weeks now and will be seeing her again on Monday. Also, her charges are not expensive.Hello and congrats to all mummies to be! i was tested positive last weekend toooo. first baby

When will you be signing contract with the new employer? I don't think they can reject us simply because we are pregnant. But if they do, it just shows that they are not worth working for in the long run. If they accept us, we can work to prove our worth within the few months

i am not going ahead with this new role. Have you signed your new contract?

Is having no MS at 8 weeks normal?
Not yet. Still waiting for them to contact me.
Yes... I just had my first appt with Dr Geraldine Tan today... super nice lady.
Went thru the internal scan and saw peanut inside. Heartbeat sounds just like mrt... very cute.
I also stay at the East, hence looking at Katong area

Would love to join the whatsapp group! How do I do that?
I had my first visit with Dr Wong last evening. My appointment was scheduled at 7pm, but managed to see Dr Wong only at 730ish. He's quite nice and cracked some jokes during the check (cus I was really scared!) He's quite a chop chop Dr. He only delivers at Thomson Medical.
Seeing other mummies' reviews on Dr Geraldine Tan, I am still considering between the two. I asked my husband for his opinion but he said it is up to me.... Any views, mummies?

Hmm how are Dr Tan's charges like? My first consultation with Dr Wong is $80, ultrasound is $70, and multivitamins is $10. I saw his package from week 12 is $650. All excludes gst.
Dr Wong also went through briefly with me that checks throughout the pregnancy. For the Oscar/panorama, Dr Wong briefly mentioned to go for Oscar test instead. He just gave me the pamphlets for Oscar and panorama tests and asked me to read and ask my friends/Google for reviews. But from the reviews online, it seems that Oscar has higher no. Of cases of false positives (i.e. false high risk) and mummies who took oscar also went through harmony/panorama tests cus Oscar result showed that they are of moderate risks. Their panorama results eventually show that they are of low risk. May I know if Dr Tan asked you to make a decision on this by the next check up?
Seems like Dr Wong's charges are cheaper then. Dr Tan's first time consultation is $100, subsequent is $80. As for the scan, is about $80 plus, can't rmb the exact charges.
No, Dr Tan didn't ask me to make the decision of doing Oscar scan. Maybe because I'm still too early into the pregnancy?
I see. I am only in week 6+5days according to the scan. Haha
I'm currently at week 6 too.

Congratulations! May I know what is 1/2 Oscar? I am also a natural worrier. But the way he put it, it seems like people usually go for Oscar. Only people above 40 go for panorama. I am 30, but I have seen many reviews by mummies younger than I am having false positive from Oscar.

Thanks! Congrats to you too!! Actually i havent really read up about 1/2 oscar cos we trust dr wong so much we went with whatever suggestion he gave.. i will go read up tonight and let you know.. ya usually they rec panorama to ppl above 40.. im 31.. i guess if you also a natural worrier like me go for panorama although not 100% but at least its 99% compared to oscar 90%..
i am still patiently waiting for my appointment on 2nd sept with Dr Wong! The nurse suggested my appointment only on 2nd..
with all the information i guess i will tell doctor i want to go for panorama instead of oscar since accuracy is higher. am also 30 this year! to me this test is really important.
thanks all for all the really useful information!

I went online and check.. full oscar is blood test and ultrasound so for half oscar is only doing the ultrasound.. blood will be drawn for panorama at Dr Wong's clinic.. Oscar is done at novena specialist centre.. my appt for both is on 18/9.. going back to Dr Wongs clinic for a scan on week 10 cos i wanna monitor closer..

Hehe how far are you into the pregnancy? I went in at week 6+5days but still kena the transvaginal scan cus normal scan can't find the sac so I guess the later you go, the better.
Haha oh I see! I am so scared of getting my blood drawn
i see. argh.. hope mine can be normal ultrasound by then. i am suspecting i am about 6 weeks now. irregular menses previously so didn't really know how to calculate!
and same as you.. i am VERY scared of drawing blood.. needles.. etc
The transvaginal scan wasn't painful like I thought.. it's more on the uncomfortable side only.
As for injections/needles, I can only say.., hi5. Lol. That's why I need advices on Oscar vs panorama. I don't want to get my blood drawn twice!

Week 8 now, feels bloated and nausea but never puke. Feels sleepy all the time. Also lost appetite for the past 2 weeks.
Hi mummies!
Im approx 5weeks, first time mummy. have been having mild cramps and hot flush (both at the same time) in the middle of the night. Doc says its norm n prescribed me with utrogestan 200mg to "stablise" the baby and "relax" the uterus, but doesnt seem to help for night.
Does anyone has any remedy to share to ease the night cramp? If not, im sooo sleepy everyday..... zzz

Hmm I think different mummies have different symptoms. So I think there's no "norm" to compare to. I didn't feel nauseous until the beginning of week 6. It's actually quite a blessing to be pregnant without morning sickness..
Thank you! Do we usually need to go to gp for blood test to confirm or just call up gynae for appt? I actually just called up for appt without going to gp..
I booked appointment straight without going to a gp. Haha but the wait from the day I found out to my appointment was quite torturous. Kept worrying about this and that. Lol
So true!! My appt is like 2 weeks from now and everyday I have been worrying this and that
glad to know I am not alone....i think depends on how pantang you are.
personally i only announce to direct family. the rest i didn't, not even my closest friend. heard too many stories and am worry . so i choose not to say..
i seems to be starting on my morning sickness
feeling slight nauseous each time after food since yesterday.
i had cramps with diarrhoea early last week also but is all fine now!
i am worrying a lot too.. everything i eat i also google if it is safe to eat during first trimester! Haha.

Im on my 9th week. Always tired. Bit of nausea, no vomitting. I only told my direct family and some close colleagues so they can understand I will be tired easily and cant carry heavy stuff.
Im now worried abt who to take care of my baby when he/she comes out? Are those infant care places reliable? PCF Sparkletots? Any mummies can advise?
Both our mums are too old and tired to take care, we want them to have a relaxed easy life.
