flowerie123, that time when i had my #1 i tried medela mini electric and was really disappointed with the suction. and the moment i finish my ocnfinement i immediately rush to buy a medela swing... cost me $300++
from my pt of view the pump is really impt... i was devastasted initially cos milk flow usin the mini was so little.. i've even employed a malay lady to massage my boobs for me to push the milk flow... and she told me my milk flow was ample and good...
wat my fren did was she bought a 2nd hand pump to try. or rent from medela head office at toh guan...

mama guai.. me got piles too.. & i dun constipate.. go at least once a day & keep hving red blood in the toliet bowl for the past 1 wk, so called the gynae & went to see her yesterdae.. she said i am ok, only prescribe me with ointment to apply.. but i got a nice surprise yesterdae cause she gave me a scan so tht i dun hv to see her next week for my monthly appt.. & we saw the gender!
Crystal,
I know what you mean by sick of taking medication. I have phobia swallowing tablets now...luckily my gynae only gave me 1 vitamin (Ganilia) with everything inside.(so I take 1 pill every morning & night)
I think I need to ask gynae how to see/read the size from scan next week.

HUGS!! I had relatively high risk for my #1 too, but in the end all was fine, I didn't need to go for amnio or CVS though. So I know how you feel right now. That time I kept worrying & crying.
Sorry can't advise but a few mummies here went for amnio, they'll let you know the procedure.

~demongal27,
the consultant explained to me that we can only do it at 16weeks and above that's y they fix the date for me next mth.
the cost of the amnio test at KKH is $325 (if i m not wrong) irregardless s'porean or PR etc..
my frd did at TMC was abt this price too but was 7yrs back..
yes, they told me in details, procedure juz like drawing blood but the needle is much longer and they will scan where is the bb 1st to avoid the bb then quickly draw the fluid for test..

~demongal27,
perhaps ur package including of hospital stay?
I was told no need to admit to hospital but aft the test hv to rest on the bed for few hrs, then the next 2-3days DO NOT carry heavy thing, walk too much, do hsework..
u may want to check wat does the thousand dollar fee consists of..

CrystalJC> same here... my tummy is strangely bigger and very bloated at nite, the next day is gone... but I doubt it's becoz of any heavy dinner as I am still not eating well.
wow... seems like most can see the gender liao... I'm seeing gynae in 2 weeks time and he said will "attempt" to find the gender... yippe!
ytd, I went back gynae place and demand to do my bloodtest THERE! the nurses still sound pushy and asked me to go normal GP which is a few blks away. I got angry and tell them I had a hard time coz most GP either do not know the prices, or asked me to do fasting (which is not required). Worst, RafflesMed wana charge me $180 when it cost $90+ at gynae. so why chase me away when I'm already here?? I checked with 5 GPs. even went polyclinic which made me waited 2hrs for nothing!! so I got very upset.
finally get to see gynae and I told me how frustrated I was.... Then I kept asking him why he couldn't do it for me, he confessed he used to do... but becoz too man patints, he decided to outsource to neighbourhood clinic. Unfortunately the nurse didnt tell me beforehand which clinic to go. Made me merry-go-round. haiz...
PiPi> same here, during the first 3mths, or way before I got preg, it seems like my hb is convinced the first will be a boy... plus during cny, all relatives first question is "is it a boy?" which add pressure to me. Deep in my heart, I prefer a girl coz they are more demure? while boy boy very energetic. At the some time, I prefer 1st child to be boy so that I have less stress for 2nd one...

Demongal27,
I just did my CVS which is similar to amnio, just done earlier.
For my CVS, It costs 600+ and if were referred by polyclinic, can get about 50% subsidy. Fren who did amnio at TMC recently was about 1000 she says.
That's only for the procedure.
Dun worry abt the procedure, it's vv fast. They give anesthetic then next draw the placenta(CVS) or liquid (amnio). In 10 mins ok Liao. Not much pain, like taking blood needle poke.
Aftr that oso ok but must bed rest n not move nor carry heavy stuff or do strenuous work. 2 days MC.
I took extra leave today.

i discovered red spots on my face last week. but now they have faded. the red spots look like i have "scratched" myself or they look like chains/cluster of tiny red moles.. no pain.. nothing.. just suddenly appear there..
i had quite afew pimples before discovering the red spots.. after that, no more pimple popped le.. i wonder if it's related.
