What do the results of my growth scan tell me about my baby?

Chuyên gia

It tells you if your baby is growing well, whether there is enough amniotic fluid around the baby and position of the baby (especially at term to determine whether you can have a normal delivery).

Which screening tests are required during this time?

Chuyên gia

For chromosomal abnormalities, there are three main types of test available. 1. Oscar Test - done from 11 to 14 weeks of gestation. It involves a blood test and scan of the fetal nuchal translucency and nasal bone. Accuracy of the test is between 80 to 85%. 2. Triple Test - This is a blood test and together with the nuchal translucency test, the accuracy is between 80 to 85%. 3. NIPT (Non-invasive Prenatal Test) - It is a blood test at present done overseas, giving an accuracy of 98 to 99% and can also tell the sex of the baby with a similar accuracy. Screening tests include fetal abnormality scan at 20 weeks of gestation and oral glucose tolerance test at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation.

What is genetic screening test? Why do I need to do it?

Chuyên gia

Genetic screening tests can determine if your fetus has a genetic disorder. Screening tests are usually done around 10-13 weeks of gestation. In addition, genetic screening tests can also be done in the second trimester. The information from the results of the screening tests, combined with other risk factors such as maternal age and a history of hereditary disease, is used to calculate the likelihood that a fetus will be born with a genetic disorder, such as Down syndrome.

My son’s photos on my MIL’s social media

My MIL, bless her, likes posting pictures of my son on her social media. We happen to be sending her photos regularly of my son on our group chat but she posts almost all of them on her facebook. Not sure if I am totally okay with it. What do I do?

kid-friendly brunch/cafe places

My husband and I love going on cafe-hopping and having brunches even before getting married. Now with our little guy, it’s quite difficult to find places that serve good food and coffee that are also child-friendly. Any recommendations?

I would recommend botanical gardens

I’m not really comfortable with other people (apart from family, even them, sometimes tbh) taking photos of my son and sharing them on social media. How can I tell them to refrain from doing it (esp. now that my son’s birthday party is coming up) without offending them?

Just be direct and tell them. say hey, I hope you would respect my concern for my kid's safety by not sharing photos of him online. thanks!
