Hỏi & Đáp

Received a call from hospital, I was told my blood test results for FTS is 1/396, considered intermittent risk. What should I do now? I’m 39 this year. I did my NIPT test at the same time but result will only be out in 2 weeks time. Anyone has similar experience to share?

Hi, sending you a big hug first because that waiting period between getting a result and knowing what to do next is genuinely one of the most anxious times in pregnancy. You are not alone in this. A FTS result of 1/396 sits in the intermediate risk category, which means it's not high risk (typically considered 1/250 and above) but it's also not the low risk result we all hope for. The fact that you already did NIPT at the same time was honestly the right call and the most important thing you can do right now is wait for that result before making any further decisions. NIPT is much more accurate than the FTS blood markers alone because it looks directly at fetal DNA in your blood. A reassuring NIPT result would give you a lot more peace of mind even with the FTS number you received. A few things worth knowing while you wait: Being 39 does mean your age-related baseline risk is slightly higher, which is why doctors flag intermediate results more carefully for mummies in that age group. It doesn't mean something is wrong, it just means they want to be thorough and so do you. If your NIPT comes back with any concerns, your OB will likely refer you for amniocentesis which gives a definitive answer. That conversation can happen when and if you need it. In the meantime, be kind to yourself. Try not to spiral too deep into the numbers. So many mummies have had similar FTS results and gone on to have perfectly healthy babies, and the NIPT is very likely to give you clarity and reassurance. Please do update us when your results come in. We are here with you through this. 🤍

Mama and baby insurance

Any recommendations for mama and baby insurances? When should we start purchasing?

week13 can start to look around already or even earlier for insurance submission, because t2 is usually all the complications start to kick in.

Hospitalization leave

Hello all mummies/mummies to be, during pregnancy, do you have hospitalization leave issued so that you can rest at home(or work from home)?

i requested hl for 2 weeks before my edd. other than that is wfh but need to visit client office weekly, still manageable.

Pregnant and working

Hi mummies, when do you stop working or kick in your maternity leave/ annual leave? Do you need to work until the day you give birth? My job require me to be on site everyday and the company does not believe in working from home

i requested hl from my gynae 2 weeks before edd and ml kickstart on the day baby is born. i understand your company doesnt believe wfh but can they consider hybrid work arrangement due to pregnancy? As of December 1, 2024, new Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests (TG-FWAR) are in effect, mandating that employers in Singapore must establish a formal process to consider employee requests for flexible work arrangements (FWAs), including hybrid models. you can look it up in TAFEP websites.
