There are many type of NIPT test like OSCAR, Harmony, Paranormal. etc.
Initially, my Gynae told me that they only have OSCAR and Harmony test.
However, after researching and my sis told me that Paranormal test is better than the both above, I call back to discuss with my Gynae.
After discussion, my Gynae was able to provide Paranormal test at a better price than Harmony.
So we decided to go ahead with them for Paranormal test which cost $1200 (not inclusive of GST).
I drew my blood for NIPT Test on 5 June (in my week 11).
Gynae told us that the result will be out in about 2 weeks time.
However on 12 June, I received a call telling me that the test cannot be done because of blood clot.
So I had to went down again on 16 June to redraw my blood. :(
I had to wait for another 2 more week to know my result.
4 July, which is in my Week 15, we went down for my appointment and I finally gotten my Paranormal result.
Happy that the blood test is all good, the baby is healthy and we also know the gender!
Finally, I can annouced to some of my close friend about the news. :)

Pregnancy Journey - First Trimester
Today, I am announcing that I am pregnant!
By right, I wanted to announce on our 3rd wedding anniversary but I wanted my baby to be healthy before I announce.
Below is the summary of my progression in the first trimester.
So I found out that I could be pregnant on 6 Apr when I tested with the china brand HCG strip.
On 7 Apr, I went to buy test kit to test on the next day morning.
After testing the result was positive and I told my mum and dad. They were happy about it.
My sis knew it all along as I told her the result day by day.
At night, I show the kit to G and his reaction was like don't believe that its real. LOL!
He don't even know how to read the kit.
He announced to his parents on 12 Apr.
Actually, I don't feel pregnant as I have totally no symptoms other than frequent urination and a little abdominal cramp and backache.
Some days, I still use cheap strips to test to see if I am still pregnant or not. Haha..
Appetite was okay and I felt easily hungry most days.
Like 6pm I am already hungry and looking forward to dinner.
Had my first scan appointment with a Gynae on 30 Apr (6week sonogram above).
We were very happy that baby is healthy with heart beating at 120 BPM.
From the sonogram, it calculated the EDD at 23 Dec 2020 which was different from what I calculated.
I calculated the EDD at 20 Dec 2020.
However, the next day, I had spotting occurred.
Probably I was not careful when I do housework. :(
Because it was a PH, and the clinic was not open, we went back to the Gynae on the following day.
2 May, went to scan to check if baby was ok.
Luckily, he/she was fine but I was given more medication. D;
On 16 May, I had my 2nd appointment. (8th week sonogram above).
Baby look like a bean to me now at 2.11cm. Hehe~
During the scan, baby didn't move much.
The gynae said probably he/she was sleeping.
At one time, he/she did moved a bit and I was able to spot it.
Baby is healthy. :)
During these few week, my appetite was not good during dinner time, wasn't able to eat much.
Imagine I cannot even a bowl of rice. I only had less than half portion of it but I try to take more vegetables if I can.
In replacement of rice, I made plain porridge instead.
Luckily, I still can eat breakfast and lunch, just having problem with dinner.
I think I prefer to eat more salty and little spicy food more than sweet stuff.
Pity G had to eat more food because I cannot finish the food that MIL cooks.
Anyway, just feel like my body is not my body anymore. :(
Also, I seems to have pregnancy rhinitis.
Week 9 for me, is that I am getting more sleepy during the daytime.
Sometimes I was awake a little in the middle of the night as well.
Nauseous at anytime of time day but no vomiting so I think still alright.
Still having issue with eating dinner, hopefully 2nd trimester will be better.
Doesn't have steep weight gain, I am still weighing between 64.8kg-65.2kg, but I feel that 我有长肉！:(
Week 10 - 25 May ~ 31 May.
My appetite seems a little better during the mid week?
But seems like the digestion issue is still bad sometimes.
Feeling the food are all clog at my throat and not going down. :(
Having a little difficulty falling asleep at night even though I am already very tired. -_-
Still waking up at around 4-5am, sometimes to pee, lucky still able to sleep back normally.
Week 11 - 1 June ~ 7 June.
I am feeling almost the same as week 10.
Different from Week 10 is that I am feeling more exhausted.
Have been taking short nap after lunch.
And I can sleep throughout the night as well.
On 5 June, I had my 3rd appointment to do NIPT test.
Took about 3 tubes of blood which made me headache the whole day the next day.
Had ultrasound scan. Baby is healthy with heart beating at around 155 BPM.
Baby has grow bigger and look more human now. Haha..
From the sonogram, he/she seems to be lying on one side.
We can see his/her litte hands and legs, rib and spinal.
We also see him/her jump a bit too. Hehe..
Hoping the result will be good in 2-3 weeks time.
By that time, we will also know the gender. So excited! :)
Week 12 - 8 June ~ 14 June.
Still the same.
My appetite for dinner is getting bad again.
On 10 June, I vomited for the first time after eating dinner. Sigh~
Seems like baby don't like to eat Phuay Leng but that was my fave veggie! Omg.. LOL!
Ok, that's my first trimester diary. (Oops.. probably too much info for you to read. :p)
Hoping for better in second trimester.
