First trimester screening (FTS) at KKH with high risk of 1:14 for trisomy 21 at week 12

Hi mummies out there.. I’ve just gotten my FTS results from KKH taken at week 12. Report shows that my baby NT 3.1 which is higher than normal 2.6. Sonographer couldn’t find baby nasal bone too. Other than that the rest of the structures are visible. During the sonogram my baby was very active and sonographer took a long time to complete my scan taking 1.5 hours. My hcg level is at 0.7 lower than normal =1. Thus this has elevated my risk for trisomy 21=1:14, trisomy 18=1:181, trisomy 13=1:889. I would like to check with mummies out there with a follow up NIPT, will the NIPT result be worse off? #1stimemom #advicepls #worriedfirsttimemom

NIPT is very much more accurate as it is based on blood sample. My daughter was placed on very high risk for trisomy disorders based on the FTS results due to our age and the fact that they couldn’t detect the nasal bone. Our NIPT results turned out fine and baby was born healthy. All the best!

I’m currently at week 35+ however during my last checkup, my baby is still in breech position. I’m a FTM. Googled and saw some causes could be baby have birth defects that’s why baby doesn’t turn head down. Is that really true? How common is it that babies are in breech position till they give birth? Will breech babies delivered via csect still be healthy? #worriedfirsttimemom

Try speaking to your baby to turn. I have read some replies on the other side that it works! Hope baby listens to you! All e best!

Nosebleeds in pregnancy

Hi mummies, 26 weeks pregnant currently and experiencing nosebleeds. Just today it started bleeding again for no reason. Gynae referred me to ENT to get it checked but I won’t be seeing ENT till September. Anyone with similar experiences can share how you manage the nosebleeds apart from pinching nose to stop the bleeding when it happens? TIA! #worriedfirsttimemom

Me too! Had my first nose bleed yesterday on my 26 week. I read it is kinda normal that the volume of your blood is increased during pregnancy. The remedy that I did was to pinch the bridge of my nose for good 5 minutes, putting cold ice pack on it and just let it stop naturally. I hope this helps!

Cold/ Flu during Week 22

Hi mommies, I have gotten the flu / cold bug last week and am recovering. Have seen the GP for prescribed medicines (which I only took once on the day I had seen the GP) for flu and and throat. May I know if any one experience this before as getting sick is probably quite common. My next visit to KKH is in about 2.5 weeks away. Will all be fine since I am recovering? #worriedfirsttimemom

It should be all fine if you have been taking medicine as prescribe. Hydrate more. I took the flu vaccine on first tri and another vaccine at third tri. This is to prevent from falling sick often despite all the flu bug, cough, whatever virus going around. Most importantly mummy and baby is fine and need not visit hospital/clinic often.
