Hello all..
It's been a while since my last update..
It has been, still, a roller coaster journey throughout the pregnancy. Alhamdulillah, lil angle is hanging right inside my uterus..
Just a lil update. On my 12th weeks of pregnancy, Dr Wong suggested me to do a First Trimester Screening (FTS) due to my age factor. FTS is is a prenatal test that offers early information about a baby's risk of
certain chromosomal conditions i.e down syndrome..
FTS consist of 2 steps :
- A blood test
- An ultrasound exam to measure the size of the clear space in the tissue at the back of the baby's neck
Ideally, if your risk level is low, first trimester screening can offer reassurance of a healthy pregnancy.
If your risk level is moderate or high, you might choose to follow first
trimester screening with another test that's more definitive.
So far, after the test has been conducted on me, it appears that my risk is on the LOW side. Syukur, alhamdulilah..
Ok that's all for now. Till the next post.. bye!
Dear, the test can only be done at 12 weeks je ke? Test ni wajib to all mom to be ye? I hope mine will be a healthy pregnancy. Amin
ReplyDeleteowh my fren Reen :) happy sgt baca, even sikit je yang ditulis, tapi saya seakan mengerti kenapa :D

semoga selamat semuanya..t.c ur self, kem salam kt your husband..nanti ada time, dh betol2 sihat ,kite TT ea...
Joanna OT, the FTS is not compulsory.. it's highly recommended for those who have reached 30 or baby resulting by IVF.. the max weeks that the test can be conducted is 14weeks..
ReplyDeleteNissa, talasemia melalui blood test aje.. Sebelum IVF, dr wong mmg suruh conduct compatibility test pun..
