Due Date in July - September 08

Cramps are normal! It's just everything stretching and growing in preparation for the baby that's growing and stretching!

I had the OSCAR with my first pregnancy but am not having it this time around. It was very wrong with my first pregnancy, and have us a very high risk of downs syndrome.....needless to say our son was born healthy and well...so am not going through all that stress again.

Will have the fetal abnormality scan at approx 20 wks and that will put my mind at rest.

Hi all,
We're going to register at Queen Mary but haven't been there yet. I'm having my ante-natal care with the private doctor who I had the treatemnt with just to be on the safe side. I was thinking of doing the ante-natal classes with Annerley - anyone else going to do that?
Hope everyone is well!

hi,

just curious how everyone else is doing.. i am in my 12th week now and my tummy is already showing.. my colleague just asked why your tummy so big ? guessed i ate a lot during chinese new year..

reei,

How's you visit on wed?seeing the doctor or just the nurse?
Yes, those classes are really popular. As this is my no. 2. I think i have enough experience, i am not going to book any of those classes.

UKlady,
even registered at the public hospital, it would be better that you also keep visit your own private doctor, as the public hospital is too busy to handle too many mom-to-be.
I visit both as well.

Hi I'm due 30th July with 1st baby. So far all is going well. Trying to decide what to do about prenatal classes as the hospital I'm going to only offers them in Cantonese. Any suggestions?

i know QE (queen of elizthbath hospital in jardon.. somewhere close to TST) will offer prenatal classes in English, for non-cantonese speaker. however they are all very full, i can check it out for you during my next visit.
