I always like to ask doc qns, so am a bit diff from other pple. My questions were:
1. Whether my mummy's complications during her birth were hereditary?
2. Will he go on leave end of the year? Who will cover him?
3. Gynae's preference for natural birth, or ok with C-section?
4. Can I opt for natural tear or does he prefer prefer episotomy?
5. Can play golf? (or whatever other sports you are doing).
6. I bought a bottle of pre-natal multi-vits, so I asked him if it's ok to consume. Which he recommended me to stop for 1st tri as we only need folic acid now.
If you have any other pregnancy symptoms, you can also ask him why you're feeling this way and whether there's anything which you can do to ease the discomfort, etc. I would suggest that you list down all your qns, then, bring the list to the gynae when you see him.. their time are usually v precious. So, we can't sit there and think, u know what I mean.

Ya, you can check with your gynae. Usually, they'll stick to 1 or 2 hospitals. Also, if his office is at Mt E, it might be inconvenient for him to go to Mt A.
Clare
Ya, I read from the threads in this forum. If I'm not wrong, the 2 gynaes which the gals say have not so painful stitches are Dr Ho (Mt A) and Dr Christopher Chong (KKH). That's why I went to see him.. hee hee..
I chose him over the KKH doc as my hubby prefers Mt A.

Hi, Krissie. My first consultation was $80.80. Under private scheme. But the nurse told me for subsequent ones will be lower loh.
Hi Minhui. Yup think ours EDD are really close
Want to ask you all, any problems in selecting gynae. Cause my previous gynae who treated me is from Gleneagles, but I heard there like quite expensive. So went for KK one, but the queuce very long (mayb lunch time).
R you all taking chinese supplements too? Anyone went for the jurong east doc? I was with her till I conceive so mayb can ask for her recommendation.
Some info to share. For OCBC credit card holders, got 20% off net prices, bought some clothes there yesterday already.

Thanks. For KKH, are you planning to take A1 ward? Actually, for private charges, KKH is not that much cheaper than the pte hospitals. You can go to the moh website (which yuen yuen gave earlier) to compare the prices.
I'm not taking chinese supplements. I believe that TCM works. But, when pregnant, I dun think it's so safe to take some chinese herbs. I saw the article in the ST (Mind your body) some time back that says for pregnant women to avoid chinese herbs, as some herbs may cause birth defects as the herbs are actually quite strong. So, I've stopped completely. Maybe you can check with your gynae.
Which shop are you referring to for the OCBC discount?

Hi celwong, I am taking TCM as I have taken it before to cure my throid problem. I had confirmed with the sinseh that I can continue to take it througout the pregnancy.
I will be going to see Dr Adrian at CCK this thursday, heard that his package is quite affordable.

Hi Sunny!! Welcome. = )
Hi Celwong, yeah which shop are u refering to for OCBC 20%?? Jurong East??
My gyne didn't mention anything about NT scan, only got a Detailed scan in the 20th+ week i think. She did mention though that the law permits termination of pregnancy up to 24wks so the detailed scan is for us to "decide" should anything go wrong. TOUCH WOOD of coz!
So I dun know if its really necessary to do the NT scan... how much does it cost btw?

Is the NT scan dangerous for the baby? It says that the nuchal translucency (NT) is measured. NT is the fluid collection behind the fetal neck.
So how do they collect that? It sounds dangerous.

i've compared kkh & the pte hospitals. It's not much cheaper & the staff sucks. Might as well go to pte unless got complications.

hi bao bao, I heard that he is quite nice doc too...but when I try to c him on Saturday, he got 10 patients waiting for him at 10.30am and he had not started seeing them yet and he have to rush off the SengKang after 12.30...peng...
hi mashy brainz, NT scan is done through the ultrsound too, the doc will try to measure the thickness of the fluid behind the fetal neck.

To the second time mummies out there,
For 1st child, usually do pple give birth ard the EDD or slightly earlier or slightly later? say, by 1 or 2 weeks? Can share with me your 1st birth, pls? I'm trying to see when's the earliest I would pop, since my gynae might not be ard before Christmas. Thanks!

Cookie & Bao Bao,
U are not alone. Me dun have much symtoms, breast seems bigger but no sore, occassional nausea (esp when hungry but always nothing come out). Only thing is me feel super tired also... in office i would just sit there n daze off, n sometimes by the time knock off from work I feel the journey home is soo long & legs numb & by the time i finally reach home just collapse on sofa & dun wanna get up. Initial stage sleep very early also... now still can tahan till 11pm coz i like to watch Kang Xi on SCV Ch 52. But weekend afternoon nowadays will nap for at least 2hrs. =P Appetite still very good though trying to control now.

same here. very tired. always have to take naps. don't think it's advisable to take yong tau fu esp if u take it dry. Coz' the food is left in the open for a long time, may have bacteria. If u want to eat, take soup ones. Make sure they cook everything.

Hi ladies,
feeling cold is normal. Sometime feel chill but its normal. The body will get warmer later in pregnancy.
Krissie, my 1st baby was early by 5 wks. 1 other friend gave birth to 1st kid 3 wks earlier than due date. 2nd baby was 4 days earlier than due date. Another friend was delayed for 1 wk so had to induce labour, think baby too comfortable in womb.
So really its unlikely to have a sure EDD. You can gauge only nearly the term cos, it depends when baby decides to go into right position. Once the head is crowned then gynae will give you few days to deliver. So, dont worry abt delivery now. Enjoy your pregnancy!

Krissie,
According to my gyne EDD is just the date that one has complete 40 weeks but most ladies would normally pop between 37th to 41wks, anything longer than that would have to induce the bb out loh.
Cookie
Me too sometimes wake up feel cold & as if coming down with flu. Glad u share this so now I know its normal... = P

But whenever at nite my stomach always feel uncomfortable. Than i got to go toilet try to burp out the gas. Once i burp i feel very shoik.
Cookie how can don't work, no work cannot survive ah. But really tired in off, can't really concentrate. Hopefully by 2nd trimenster everytime will be back to normal.
I can't take Yong Tau fu leh, cos i get hungry very easily. If i hungry i got to take food immediately or else will shiver.
I feel hot too but in MRT sometimes feel very cold and in off too. It ok to suffer as long my BB is fine and healthy.

Feeling cold or warm is normally. Throughout the day, I will be putting on sweater, taking it off many times as one moment, I feel too cold and the next I will be too warm. During the evening, I always feels that I am having slight fever.
Glad for those who have no MS. I have quite bad MS during the evening and night and so can not rest well at all. Everyday every xian at work but lucky my bosses are very understanding. I even manage to cancel my business trip to Hong Kong and they will set-up the video conferencing here for me.
Yasmin - your boss is so bad, don't get to stress or upset with what she says, this is bad for the bb.
