Xue, How come your package is so cheap..
Mine no package, per visit S$60, only scanning scanning - S$250 from 12 wks till give birth (if not, per scan S$60), vits are paid separately.
During my girl, i think i paid about more than S$2K for the outpatient.
Delivery natural: S$2050 include hospital charges and baby's toilettries and nursery, but gynae fee and his daily visits are not included.
Gynae fee for natural delivery - S$1,800 (if i am not wrong), and daily visit - S$100 per visit (actually wat he did was just to look at me (fully clothed), no check below hor)
I am quite surprised to learn than xue's package is so cheap ler..

sports > Thanks.
I have started to feel the strain at my spinal area. Does anyone experience the same too? It's extremely terrible today. Think cos of the audit I need to walk in and out of my desk & up and down in front of the cabinets to retrieve tonnes of files for their checking.
Another day to go tomorrow.

<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> cola,
dunno lei. tt time for my #1 C-sec, i paid 1k cash after deducting from medisave. but gynae is not Dr Wong.
Welcome Kyla.!!!
Iewwei,
Thru'out my whole pregnancy, less then 5 ppl gave out their seats to me. Be it MRT or Bus. Cant really expect much from those ppl... Even there's board showing priority seat for pregnant women, nobody will give up their seat even if u're standing right in front of them with a big tum ! Imagine 50+ uncle using his walking stick to block ur way from gng into the mrt? sch boy placing his bag on the seat beside him and ignore you when u're in front of him? auntie asking u to give up ur seat to her even thou she knows u're carrying a tum.!
Can you imagine this? All these happened to me when i had my #1. And of cos there's kind ppl out there...
JRTlover,
I had difficulty slping at night too... hai... Midnight still have to wake up to pee... Very tired.</font>.

Hi Xue,
Normally I will wait for bus to have seats before boarding. It will be very tiring to stand on the whole journey especially with big tummy. No problem when going work but not when going home.
I agree with you that no one will give up their seat to pregnant women. So far, only one uncle give his seats to me. Sigh...

Hey Xue,
I agree totally with you on the MRT. For my case, my tummy is not so obvious yet so i don't blame people for not giving seats to me. What I cannot stand is, everytime when i alight at Boon Lay MRT, people will try to rush in before the people in the MRT got out. There was one occasion, one young lady (i think she is PRC) she actually stood in the middle of the entrance and gave me a stare as if I am blocking her way! Hey, I have priority as I am getting out of the MRT leh! So i said to her "can you wait or not!"
Then yesterday, one middle age uncle rushed past me to quickly dash to an empty seat! I swear if my tummy is more prominent, I will shout out to him!
MTBs who takes the MRT during peak hours, you can forget about kind hearted people giving up seats to you!

Xue,
That was cheap ler, only pay S$1K for ceasarean.. i think i paid cash about 2.1K the rest is from hubby's medisave..
Re: seat
Nobody gives up seats for me as well. haiz i think i am quite prominent now, tho not heavily preg yet, but definitely my tummy is not those bulging fat!
Luckily my journey is at most 10 mins from home to office, so still quite bearable
Nowadays, most ppl are just so inconsiderate.

Re: seat
I got a bulging tummy but perhaps some are still wondering if it is fats or tummy...haha.. There was once I was standing in front of the priority seat with 2 guys seating there. Not sure if they did not notice my tummy or not, at another station, a heavily preggy women came in, one of the guys immediately give up seat to her! haha. Think mine is not so obivious and easily mistaken as fats.

Casey - I agree with u on the Boon Lay MRT.. its so terrible.. everyone rushed in once the train arrive, its so terrible.. I am waiting for next yr when the Pioneer station open..
JRT - think I am just like you.. ppl must be thinking I am fat haha..
So far, I have seen many ppl not giving up seats to pregnant ladies, think they are so inconsiderate..

bean bean,
Truly agree with you. Coz once upon a time when I was fat,there are pple who thinks I am pregnant...So sad rite..
Now slim down liao and preggy,no one give up seat...lol
Vera,
Same plight as me.
We got to wait somemore time before our tummy are more obivious! haha..

Generally Singaporeans are still not cultured enough right? The fact that people RUSH into the train cabins are showing that they are not cultured. When you go to Japan, everyone lines up neatly and wait patiently for the alighting passengers to alight first before boarding! I was so amazed when i saw it for the first time. Singaporeans really need to learn alot more. But of course we are slightly better than some other asian countires lah..
xue - regarding purchase of medela breastpump, i was in touch with the bp organiser whereas Noi tried to ask the medela spore office.
joyce - on buying bb stuff - if you are not fussy, actually there are always frens who are willing to pass down their bb stuff coz they have no more use for them and find it a waste to throw them away. for my #1, i didn't have to get any big ticket items at all - cot, pram, changing table, etc etc all given to me and they were all in good condition. if you wan to buy, suggest you wait till yr end sales or the bb fair in mar, can save quite a bit of $.

I didnt have a doula BTW so my description may not be that accurate.
hmm like birth companion who is there throughout birth to support u emotionally eg. verbal assurance and give ideas/help to reduce discomfort and smoothen the birth process. eg suggestions for body posture for u, or tell hubby how he can help. She will also be familiar with the birth options and advise u accordingly. Will help to convey ur birth preferences on that day.we hope hubby will be there to do this. but hubby may be blur, dunno what to do. doula will have some birth experience so can guide both. similar to midwife but scope is lesser. will not replace role of midwife or dr. there also some doulas who are licensed as midwifes tho
I dun think hospital midwife/dr will be with u the way.doula will be there throughout and in contact b4 birth. she knos what ur birth preferences and help to push for it on the day eg. no episiotomy, delivery position : squat/all fours

When i was in Taiwan... no one "dared" to take the priority seats in e train even when it was full if they were not pregnant, a child or an elderly. It shows how cultured Sporeans are!!! I think a long long way more to go leh before we are fully "educated". Courtesy campaign have to re-appear!

pkg price also depend on the dr expertise and experience. yup other dr quoted me $1k plus too. but he v high profile. my current dr dun have pkg but I keep with him coz of his experience and how he practise.
Joyce

xue - yes, she will organise another bp for us. i supp the plastic parts can all be sterilised, just like the other medela pumps. but i tink i will get the pis, instead of fs. rather stick to the tried and tested. and i tink it will be easier to sell off the pis when i'm done with bf since more people are familiar with this model.
<font face="Comic Sans MS,Tahoma"> Feb_mum,
Before the FS i oso intend to get PIS. More commonly use then FS.

What's the diff btn PIS and FS? Cons and Pros?
Im thinking of getting one too.
*Boss keeps pushing me to announce my preg news to my partner (who covers my duties when on leave) but the thing is if over 3 months still got the possibility of having a M/C yah?
Think most ironic part now is need to pretend nothing has happened or preg yet we are enduring the pain/discomfort inside us.

iewwei,
Triple test is only blood test. So the nurse will get a small tube of blood from the arm. Today I went for oscar test. Can see the bb sucking the thumb, jumping up and down, then the bb turn upside down with the head facing downward. The radiologist pointed out his/her feet and hands to me. V cute but can't see the gender yet though.

hi all,
i'm also expecting my baby in May 2009 - second babe for me.
great to join in the discussions here. i'm based in bangkok so it's good to be in touch with stuff back home. miss all the singaporean laksa, char kway teow etc...
regarding doulas, i did have one in my first birth. I think it's a great idea coz the person can support us and our preferences. She was with me and my hubby throughout.
