- 2019-12-09Hi mummies, I’m devasted by the news from my gynae today that my embyro stopped growing.
I went for my first checkup on 4 Nov, the sac was there but no embryo yet. That’s probably too early to detect. However, i was a bit sad when was told that there’s strips of blood spotted during the vaginal scan.
We went for another check 2 weeks later. The sac grew but no embryo yet.
Just last week, ie 2 weeks from my last checkup, I was delighted to know what the embryo has developed but no heartbeat was detected yet. My gynae asked me to followup with another check a week later, and it should be able to hear the heartbeat. Else, it wont be normal.
And finally, i went for my checkup today. My gynae said that the embryo stopped growing and no heartbeat was detected still. It’s confirmed a missed miscarriage. He then scheduled me to go for an op tomorrow to clear the uterus.
Just wondering if there’s any mummies out there who has similar experience to share? Thank you so much!

Cause it wasnt true in the 1st place. But she still feels that shes right. Its been 3 weeks things happened, still shes stubborn. Should i just confront her instead?

- 2019-12-10I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and might have sciatic nerve issue or some issue with my right leg. I cannot put my full weight on my right leg, if I stand, turn, bend wrongly the pain will shoot down from the butt to my thigh. Anybody has the same problem?
Went for a prenatal massage but it's not getting better. It's hard to do anything at this point. Even sleep. Legs go numb and I will have to change positions every 2 to 3hours, leaving me wide awake each time.
I am with KKH subsidised, but I intend to take HL. Did ask for HL during my 1st trimester but they were adamant that they don't give out any since I'm not hospitalised. Will they give in and give HL in my 3rd trimester?
If not, what if I change to KKH private, is it confirmed I can get HL from a private gynae without being hospitalised?
The pain is really horrible.
Thanks, mummies ?

After a long standing day at work while crossing the traffic I suddenly got my pelvic got pulled and I screamed in pain, it was a sharp pain and I couldn't afford to take another step. I stood there, the traffic light was counting down. And I got panicked, lucky an Army guy approached me and he stopped the traffic and helped me to cross the remaining side of the road.
I used to get these pains while in hl but didnt expect such situation where I feel I put my life in danger when I step out.
