Hello carla, I am doing good. Thanks Carla for posting I thought this thread will remain quiet ever ;-) Dying to feel my baby's movements, have any one else felt the movements. ? I feel like little bubbles but not sure these are the same. Semsema: thanks and congrats to you too. Fetal age/ EDD is always calculated on the basis of LMP and fetal growth. When was your LMP. ? Mine was 6th sep.

Aahww carla dear, thanks :) my EDD is changed in FMC. I will ask my doc in my next appointment ( next week ) Pinkbutterfly welcome to your new birth club :) Teena all hospitals doesn't have the facility of NT scan, FMC is good but the charge is bit high 1550 dhs. I think Medic also do NT, you can call them and ask if they can accept your insurance card.

Hi ladies, hope you all are doing well. I had my NT scan yesterday and I'm happy that my baby is free from down's syndrome & is doing very well :) is measuring 6.7cm with the heart beat of 164 pm . We were so excited to see her/him doing all the acrobatics with those cuty tiny limbs . My EDD is changed to 6th June means 1 week ahead . All in all evening is great , yay ! And Carla, Dr. Pour mirza seemed highly skilled and I didn't face any such things during the scan. He asked us whether we would like to know our baby's gender. Both my hubby and I said 'NO' ;) all the best for your scan ! Teenachandy , congos and welcome to the group ! Ladies keep posting updates from your end!

@carla I got the result of lupus anticoagulant screening test 10 days ago . It was 53 sec where as the max normal value should be 45. As my gynec told and studies shown, one test doesn't give accurate value, confirmatory test is needed the result of which may come in the next week. My gynec assured me everything will be fine by taking clexane/heparin injection plus baby aspirin throughout the pregnancy. these medicine are associated with side effects too... :( just trying to be calm & crossing the fingers for the positive result !

Hello everyone, welcome and congrats to new TBMs! Dear Loopy, i know how painful would be that incident , thank god everything is fine. My last scan was normal and baby measured 4 days ahead. Shifted to Dr. Yamini/al zahra, she is pretty good, have been prescribed baby aspirin as I am on verge to develop lupus. Final result yet to come in a week and my NT scan has been scheduled on 28th with Dr. Mirza . Praying and wishing for the best! Right now enjoying this lovely weather :)

Bang bang! My gynec is no longer working with lifeline. And no one knows where she is practicing right now. Huh! Now have to go to another gynec of same hospital as we took the package. I just hope she will be as good as previous doc . If not we will shift to some other hospital. I must say lucky are those who have maternity insurance :) I'm working as admin in charge but planning to take leave ASAP. Congrats and welcome Mrs. Champ, I think we should not worry about TMI because all of us love to know about one another as I do :)

Welcome gitte! @molly my mum and MIL know about my pregnancy from 5th week itself as they always behind my periods. They confirm my pregnancy by themselves lol. I have 2 hospitals ( al zahra/ latifa) in my list but don't know how things goes. You see my insurance doesn't cover maternity ! How about you. ? @carla I resume to work as soon as I administer cyclogest same as loopy. can figure out all most all of us are taking cyclogest.

@loopy i think you can do oil massage for the sore breast. Yes dear i was advised to avoid fatty, oily and spicy food. What Carla said is right and the other reason is to relieve acidity which i have. I'm having lots of fruits to combat the acidity. @carla I'm happy that you are totally satisfied with your gynecologist. just curious to know which injection are you taking weekly? I have been prescribed progesterone IM injections twice a week. I'm glad that I just have Lil nausea and there is no puking literally :)

Glad to meet another member with the same due :) Loopy: nice to know about your scan. I think 3 days difference is not so significant so don't worry. I gotta go at 11 weeks to see my little bean. Nausea has just started for me, guess it will be worse as days pass by. my belly is already popping out ;) feeling hungry all the time and all i crave is for spicy food, yeah I know i should avoid spicy as ma obgyn advised. Carla where are you doing your check up? Sending my prayers to both of you :)
