hi all,
I was just confirmed by a GP that I'm 6 weeks' pregnant..
was wondering, we can choose the hospital to give birth by Dr Adrian? my GP only mentioned TMC but not Mt A.
after reading the posts here, I agree with some, I've mixed feeling about his coolness.. I'm a chatty person wif alot of worries and may ask weird questions some times, am afraid Dr Adrian can't tahan me.. haha...
Can I ask how much is the epidural? is it different for each hospital/ gynae? for a 4-bedder at TMC & Mt A, any mummy here can share wif me how much is the total bill and natural or Caesarean? Thanks.

hi babiesplanet, I heard most of the hospital will upgrade for free if there are available rooms, my cousin's case was there were no bed for the 4 bedded so they let her have the 2 bedded..
wow, ur threshold of pain is high.. I seldom heard mummies give birth without epidural..

Detailed scans are not done by him but at tmc instead, hence u gotta pay for these two. About 400 for both scans, u pay direct to tmc.

Hi Mommy poko,

Hi hippy,
haha, you really idolised him.. ya, i think he's a nice doc except that he's indeed a man of few words, i feel that he's very understanding towards preggy ladies, which explains why he's so readily to give mc.. haha.. there was once he gave me 3 days mc, ask me to slp more cos i told him i have prob slping.

Hi, dr woody had delivered my 2nd boy mid of apr 2012 and my first boy back in 2008.
Indeed a cool and good reputable gynae that one can ask for. Though man of few words and very 'chop chop' style but his skill is superb.
On day 6, I can move around normally and walking isn't much of trouble. Very trusted in him and same with hippy, me too idolize him! Haha
Would miss seeing him at his clinic as I have decided to stop at 2. Never regretted having him with me throughout the two pregnancy.
Thumb up!

Hi shadow,
You are safe under dr woody's hand. He has very Good stitching skill and The healing part is fast. Mine is c-sect and of course the first 2 days is painful but nurses at tmc will encourage you to get down the bed and start moving around. Comes the 3-4 day, I am able to move around slowly and sitting up - no problem at all!
The wound line I had now is like 13cm pencil line. This is my 2nd child with him. He is good and skillful only thing is he talk fast and no issue with me, cos he doesnt want us. If u got any qns, he will be glad to answer you. I like his style! Very fast and I am also looking forward to see him at clinic during pregnancy though it's only that 5 mins consultation in his room.
Very responsible gynae too. Now kinda of missing him and visiting his cck. Clinic.. Haaha
I had a good comfy stay at tmc, 2bedded and nurses all helpful and friendly.
Thumb up for dr and tmc!
Despite the dragon year and busy full house of wards at tmc, guessing my luck bah!

Oh, epi is done by the anesthetic doc... When she first inject, you can feel the numb after which no problem at all!
Dr woody will take over for c-sect from there. Fast and steady. Very assurance he gave me at the OT..
In less than 45 mins, all up.. Baby safety delivered and there he washes his hand and end of opt, the nurses will take over from there too. Superb!

Hi shadow,
Mine was half body epi, so was conscious when dr woody did the delivery. Yes, you leave it to him, he will advise you what is best for you. He is fast in the opt, less than 35 mins for his part. The rest would be taken over by the OT nurses.
Once I was wheeled back to the ward, nurse will ask you to wriggle your toes so to circulate blood flow. My wound don't feel numb, just that getting down the bed is a challenge on the next day and ESP when u cough or sneeze. Guess that the norm. The 3rd day, I can walk around and go wash up at the toilet.
If wound is v painful, ask nurse for pain killer. Anyway they will include pain killer in your stay there.
You would be safe under dr woody and the hospital team.
Mine i fork cash of 2.2k after all CPF deduction (for myself and baby) upon discharge.
You enjoy #2 pregnancy with dr woody.

Your procedures sound complicated and Abit scary.
Well, mine was very simplified.
It's had been almost a month since I gave birth.
No problem with the wound at all. Went back to dr woody for review, no issue only given cream to apply to prevent keloid.
My first c-sect was 4 yrs ago with epi ( half body), no numbness at all too during raining days.
Guess the anesthetic doc must be good at it, if not complication will come.

hi Shadow,
i think is abt same ba. normal, pain now. but c-sec pain later. normal recover fast. c-sec, slow and u will hv difficulty wake up from bed and even walk. u need to hv or prepare different kind of pattern to wake up. seriously, if my 1st not bcoz of water bag bust, i would like go by normal. once u have c-sec, very unlikely to go by normal oledi.
ask him ba. he will tell u wat to do if u cant decide now.
btw, im seeing him at cck.

Hi Mommy Poko & VOnvon,
Once again thks for the info for price.
I was with him in year 09, but can't remember what is the price range as i was induced + emergency c-sect & was in 2 bedded.
This time i hope to have more privacy so that my elder can stay in hospital with me, but worry abt the overall cost.
