This is a really active thread. Have only manage to quickly browse through the posting and will try to answer some of the questions since I am the first to popped!
Jovia, on Dr Loh, I really like him. He is a very confident and experience doctor. I see him at TPS.
I was warded at 35weeks for regular contractions. The nurses and the MO on duty seems to think that I will not be discharged due to the regular intense contractions. However, after staying for 1 night and put on higher dosage of the pills to prevent contractions, Dr Loh discharged me saying that no point staying in and wait. And true enough, my contractions were gone after discharged and in fact no sign of delivery even at 36+week.
As for delivery of multiplies, I guess since he is the IVF doctor and has handle many cases before, he should be very experience. While in the OT, I told the team there that babies have to be out before 1pm. Dr Loh only came down at about 12.35pm but the anesthetist say no worries, Dr Loh is very fast. He cut me up at about 12.45 and babies were out by 12.51/12.52, no fuss at all. And the anesthetist ask me while I was being stitched up, "Do you know why he is call SF?" and I gave him the correct answer "cos he is super fast?!"
)
As for my C-section wound, it was paintful the day after delivery, when I got down to walk but after that it was ok. Seems to recover quite well. And the message lady said that the stitches are quite well down.
Oh, to add on how experience Dr Loh is...he operated on my sis while she was six weeks pregnant due to a 8cm cyst in the ovaries. Sis recovered well and now she is into her 30+weeks (due in Nov). Baby is ok and safe..
So don't worry, I think we are in excellent hand under Dr Loh.
On hospital charges, I was advised to choose B1 due to multiplies which I did. But once babies are cleared to be "well babies", I asked for upgrade to A1. Service at KKH is definitely not comparable to pte hosiptal (like Raffles which I had my first child). However, since I choose to stay with Dr Loh, have to put up with it. Have not got my final bill yet but the estimated given for my bill is about $4900, Twin 1 $600 and Twin 2 $1000 (due to longer stay cos of jaundice).
As for frequency in visiting Dr, have seen about fortnightly after 22weeks. Not sure why some of your intervals are so long. hmm...maybe cos I see him at TPS??
For those expecting triplets, think it is best to remain at clinic D as the cost will be much cheaper.
ok, that's all for now. Feel free to ask any questions but I may not response so fast as I don't log on so frequently now.
