i am at week 13 now!
time flew so quickly, i last blogged at week 8, and more than a month just swooshed past so quickly.

so far everything is almost normal, during the first trimester i was easily tired and i cannot walk for long distances, i had to take breaks if we are out, and i had to take naps if i was home.

but once i hit week 13, everything changed! i can stay out for almost one full day but i had rests/breaks in between at cafes/starbucks, i slept later, almost back to the old lifestyle.

so far we got our FTS results, everything is low risk, we are pending the Harmony results. more looking forward to know the gender of the baby. however, i am more concerned about the chromosonal conditions like the Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies and 22q11.2 Microdeletion which is something additional from the FTS results we already received.

FTS already tested for trimsonies 13, 18 and 21 and the scan also included the NT, which are all normal and low risk which is good.

We went to KKH, with the intention to save some money because it is highly subsidised, as we are on a budget and we believe in investing the funds in the baby's nutrition and education.

After we went to KKH, we realised we probably made the right decision because they are probably the specialist in this. We decided that we may change to private in KKH after we get all the initial tests done and finalise on the gynae we are comfortable in. because at this point, we didnt ask anyone for recommendations and we dont know who is actually good or the best. and i guess the best means more expensive?

while i was worried bout my FTS and harmony results i suddenly thought of a friend who is also pregnant and 5 weeks ahead of me , i was surprised that she didnt go thru any of these tests, so im guessing its probably not compulsory. and she went to a private hospital.
