Bao Bao,
I oso got itchy feet problem. I took a cream from Dr Adrian, and it works for me ley...
I just applied for 1 week only, then the itchness gone liao.
Maybe you try to wash thoroughly between your toes when bathing to make sure it's clean... cos my auntie said she oso got this problem when she preggy, and bcos she was too fat & din notice that problem, at the end the problem became very serious ley.

NuttNuts,
Wow, you still dunno your bb gender?
Hmm... looks like ur bb wants to give you a surprises har.
I just went to my checkup last Thu. My bb weight now got 2kgs.
And I increased abt 14kgs liao...
My aunties all said when i deliver, my baby weight will be 4kgs ley... might be abit difficult for me to deliver.
I opt for natural birth without epi.
Cos I'm allergy to pain killer, so i dun want to take epi lor, somemore alot of people said epi got alot of side-effects. Me scare scare.
My EDD is on 18th Oct, and I keep telling my bb must be accurate on that day hor, cos I want to have enuf leave to clear after my maternity leave. kekeke...

Hi Ladies
I'm 5+ weeks pregnant, seen Dr Adrian 1st time last wkend. However, the first appt was brief, he only asked me my medical history and did an ultrasound scan.
I'll want to be certain is this the standard procedure for 1st time visits? I tot that 1st appt should be a detailed one?
And overall, what are your comments abt Dr Adrian?
Pls advise. Thanks

DS, MH, Celine :
Ya lor, I oso keep asking Dr Adrian whether I'm overweight liao or will the baby weight too big for me to deliver by that time, but he keeps assuring me everything is fine, my weight is still ok lor.
I oso read from the other thread, the baby size now is just a rough guess, not accurate ones.
Wow, bread only?? I definitely can't.
I get hungry easily now, but normally I will just keep 3 meals per day, 3 servings of fruits, and seldom tibits. I guess I drank too much Annum liao during the first 20 weeks, that's why my weight increased quite alot that time.
terrier:
Dun worry, my first visit with Dr Adrian was oso quite short, just like my first gynae.
You can ask him questions if you have, if not, he will just keep the session sweet & short.

Gals,
I kena "scolded" by Dr Adrian during my last checkup. Cos my aunties, cousin, & even my lady boss commented that my tummy looks very low now, maybe will deliver earlier (end Sep) than my EDD (18 Oct). So I asked Dr Adrian this question lor, then he kept saying "Nonsense! Nonsense!" He said alot of his patients asked him the same question too, there is no such thing he said.
Phew! At least I'm not so worried now. Cos my company hasn't find a replacement to backup my work during my absence...

Puea,
Maybe Dr Adrian don't want to stress you mah, also don't want you to get worried too easily.
Wah, you very good liao leh, 3 meals, 3 servings of fruits per day.
Huh? Drank too much Annum? Don't scare me, i am still drinking Annum now too, i only dare to drink 1 cup every morning nia, also scare too fattening.
How often do you drink Annum during your 1st 20 wks?

I wonder anyone who pee like me.

Baobao/celine,
Hee, I thought i am the only one.
But i same like celine, can no longer squat too long, esp doing big biz! Then also cannot stretch to far to clean my bottom leh. If not, i will very much like to use the squatting toilet bowl, better and easier also although sometime the public toilet bowl very wet and smelly.
Put on the sink ah, yup, sometime i do, but clothing cannot wor.
Huh? 1st trimester squat will bleed? Did you ask Dr why it happens not?

DS,
I drank Anmum since 5th week until 20th week ley. I only drink 1 scoop per day. But i gained alot of weight lor... compared to my colleague who only 1 mth less than me, she only gained 5kgs during her 20th week, while I gained abt 9kgs ley... And she bet that I must drink Anmum liao, she said her gynae asked her not to drink Anmum from the beginning, cos it's very fattening & it doesn't help much for MTB & baby.
So I stopped drinking immediately, partly due to my diarrhoea too.
Actually checked with Dr Adrian before on this, he said the multi-vitamin & folic acid pills that he gives are enough liao.

You gals can still squat?? Wow, I can't liao... very hard to squat ley nowsdays. I got to open my legs wide wide then manage to squat down.
DS,
I only know tat don't squat after giving birth, cos it will cause your stitching area to "burst", then Dr Adrian got to re-stitch for you.
Me jia lat liao, cos my house's toilets are all squat-type ones...
Got to think a way to solve this problem... *sigh*

Hi gals,
No matter which trimester you're in now, as long as you got bleeding, you got to visit Dr Adrian immediately ley. Dun play play, cos bleeding could mean something wrong with your baby or your womb...
I got a friend who has bleeding problem in first trimester. Her gynae asked her to stay on the bed until the situation got better.
So we got to be very very careful.

Puea,
Wah.. you only drink 1 scoop per day and gain so much, don't think is the anmum leh.. maybe is your daily diet?
Don't scare me, i think only start drinking anmum when i am about 17wks until now (22 wks).. that mean actually i put on a lot of wt liao ah (5 kgs..) ... ops...
Ok, think i will reduce the no. of scoop of the anmum liao.
Dr Adrian really said the multi-vitamin & folic acid pills is more than enough huh.. hmm...
Maybe you can go and buy those portable metal sitting chair for placing ontop of the squat toilet bowl.
That time when my grandma still around, think my aunt also bought that thing and place it ontop of the squat toilet bowl for her to sit on it. Not sure now still have a not, got to go find.
Ok, will take note not to squat after giving birth.
Celine,
Maybe you can drink chocolate milk? Soya bean?

Celine,
Oic... glad that you're fine now. Got to take care har!
DS,
Dun think it's my diet, during the frist 20 weeks, my appetite din changed much, and don't have much appetite too. Somemore my cousins oso drank the Anmum milk, they oso gained weight quite alot. Unless you're those who doesn't gain weight easily ones lah.
Maybe you can double-check with Dr Adrian on the other supplement pills?
I asked him before whether I need to take extra calcium pills cos alof MTBs are taking that. But he said the multi-vitamin pills already contained all minerals, so no need to take extra, unless he detected that I'm lacking of some minerals, then he will prescribe some more pills for me.

Usually he will say ok ones, unless you got side effects after taking those things. Like my diarrhoea, then he asked me to stop drinking Anmum.
I think the same wat, I oni know the yellow-colored pills is folic acid, the other one is pink-colored (which my husband said it's "obimin" something like tat).

Ya lor, I asked him before. Cos I got 3 times of leg cramps and people said it's lacking of calcium, that's why i asked him the question lor.
However, when I took soyabean milk har, then the problem is gone.
Celine, DS:

Now onwards, must keep "nagging" your bb to show the gender when detailed scan lah... kekeke...
I kept "nagging" my bb too when doing detailed scan, asked my bb to open legs wide wide, and stay still dun move around. At the end he really didn't move around, end up the gynae has to tell me to cough abit so tat bb will move abit for her to scan more details.

Hi jullchae,
Congrats!
Well, I signed up his package at CCK branch, but i guess it should be the same as SengKang branch.
It's $550 including normal checkup, folic acid & multivitamin & bloodtest.
And if you got any sickness, you can go visit him and get the medicine & MC, no extra charges.
For the first few appointments, I think he won't ask you to sign up package with him. He will monitor your situation & until he feel it's ok for you to sign up, then he will let you know.
But for the first appointment, you can check with him abt the package liao.

ds: i was sitting on the chair, lying on the back, when I suddenly felt a strange movement, like muscle flowing from left to right..so funny...
jullchae: Dr introduced the package in my first visit. So signed up with him from first visit. Got white paraffin from him for my constipation last week at not extra charge. Some gynae charge for every sinle additional medicine. I think he is quite affordable although consultation is a bit fast.
celine: our baby sure like to keep us in suspense. U visit him in the day time har?
