Hi, I am a first time mother expecting to deliver probably in Nov.. Have anyone tried Doc tanny chan before? Wonder what to look out for in a good gynae?

 

[starrymommy]

hi chamb,

i'm also nov mom and this will be my #2. also searching for gynae. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] somethings to note:



- male or female

- location and convenience

- waiting time at clinic (some gyane's waiting time can be more than an hr even though appt booked)

- choice of hospital (depends where you wanna deliver at. if doc's clinic is at TMC, he/she may not or may charge extra for delivery at other hospitals)

- recommendation/feedback from friends/relatives

- feedback from other mummies in the forum



hope this helps to 'shop' for a good gynae! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Dear Mummies,



Im not sure if i am pregnant as its still too early to test but this few days im having quite alot of white discharge which is uncommon for me,this is the symptons of pregnant or i am having some kind of infection.Im so worried[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



Please kindly advice..

 

[canopyhaze]

misscandy : me too! hope to join this thread soon. My O day is in mid march too! All the best to all mummies!

 

[starrymommy]

Little bb,

Not sure abt the white discharge because I don't have that symptom. Just have to be patient and wait till you are able to do the test. All the best! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Canopyhaze,

Jia you! Baby dust to you too!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[derr]

starry.. Thks for your advice.. Heard from friends that the gynea stiches also plays a important factor. What's your experiences with your first gynea?

 

[derr]

Little bb..I m also not sure abt the white discharge.. Jz felt bloated n nausea now..

 

[starrymommy]

chamb,

mine was a c-sect and i had a little bit keloid forming. so i cannot say much. if i am not wrong, my wound was not stitched but glued back. this time round gonna be c-sect again for sure.

[canopyhaze]

Thanks starry! Hope to have gd news this month!

Jia you missycandy as well!

 

[missycandy]

ooo jy canopy !!! hee hee



thx all for bb dust ! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[derr]

Thks starry, hvnt heard of the glue part before...

 

[derr]

Hey little bb.. Come to think of it, the white discharge could mean that your body is a bit too 'liang'. Hv u been drinking too much tea or eating ''cooling' stuff lately?

 

[derr]

Hey all mummies to be, not sure if you hv heard.. stretch marks cream is really important . Pls use it the day you discover you are preg!

 

[starrymommy]

Chamb,

I also nv heard of glue before that lor. Haha!! Now u know. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Actually stretchmarks are hereditary. If your mum has it likely you will have it. Sad truth... Those stretchmark creams and oils etc only help to make ur skin more moisturized and elastic, they do not prevent stretchmarks. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] I used stretchmark cream regularly and still no use, all came out at 30weeks.

 

[redgin]

Hihi! Congrats to all mummies!

i didn't know this thread created already. haha, still at oct mtb thread. based on the online calculator, my edd is 3 nov.

 

[starrymommy]

redgin,

i thought you will give birth in oct! my edd is 1 nov. most likely oct baby lah. haha!

 

[redgin]

starry

mine is 3 nov, but i tested early at dpo12 so join the oct mtb thread first lah. hehe. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] need to let out, cause can't tell anyone yet, so xinku.

 

[starrymommy]

same lor. was waiting for thread to be out also. in the meantime can't tell anyone except a few close friends. quite xin ku!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[redgin]

starry

u managed to tell few close friends already ah, for me, only my hb and me knows. even my mum also haven't tell. don't know how to break the news!

 

[starrymommy]

redgin,

yeah, they were all shocked lor. hahaha! i also haven't told my parents. don't know how to tell. think my mum will freak.

 

[cherimoya]

hello all, hoping to join this thread. hehe.. all the best to your pregnancy journey!



redgin, btw, care to share which pregnancy kit u use to test at dpo12? i'm at dpo 9, hoping to test soon. hehe..

 

[redgin]

starry

my #1 also looked after by my mum. so now also am thinking of options for care when #2 comes along. headache lah. somemore, have to wait till 2nd tri then tell my boss, also don't know how to break the news to him. so many things to worry.



cheri

oh good, so hope you get to join us here. well, i used the cheap hpt that i bought from the blogshop together with the opk. i used that on dpo12 not with first urine and got a faint faint line. so i doubleup with clearblue in the evening and also bfp.

 

[starrymommy]

redgin,

you not worried that your tum tum will be very obvious by 10weeks' time? i don't think i can hide this 2nd pregnancy well. seen many of my friends having 2nd/3rd baby and all their tummy pop out before 2nd tri. but also secretly happy!! ppl will give up seats to me in the morning crowded trains. hee hee!!



cheri,

hope you get a BFP quick! i saw this new brand of pregnancy test kit at guardian/watson on sale for abo0ut $8++. so call can test a few days even before period is due. packaging is pink colour but i cannot remember the brand. maybe you can go check it out?

 

[redgin]

starry

seriously? 2nd pregnancy will show sooner ah... oh no, now already i'm feeling quite bloated. pants abit tight. don't know whether it's because of this. my #1, i only showed at 4 months.

[redgin]

starry

it's ok, i reason to myself that it will give me more motivation to lose the weight fast so that i can fit into all the nice clothes again. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] well, you just gave birth not long so it's understandable. anyway, i put on alot of weight for my #1, a total of 23kgs! but i managed to lose it all, minus 3kgs lighter. so don't worry. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[starrymommy]

redgin,

wow! so fast lose all and even 3kg lighter! i'm stuck with 4kg ard the tummy, butt and thighs. sian...

 

[redgin]

starry

can one lah, lose it after giving birth! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] how come only us talking here ah? still early?

 

[redgin]

starry

are you still breastfeeding?

 

[starrymommy]

Not breastfeeding anymore. That's why managed to conceive #2 mah. Haha!! How long u breastfeed ur #1?

 

[redgin]

starry

5 months plus only. went back to work after maternity leave, and pump in the office and latch at night. but after that it was too siong, cannot make it, so decided to wean her off. this time round, i hope to bf longer.

 

[starrymommy]

redgin,

5 months plus really good le. i stopped bfing her when she was 3mths old. i had to go 100% on pump 'cos she doesn't latch well. somehow pumping doesn't help maintain my supply at all and it kept dropping. drop till quite pathetic so might as well stop le. same like you, hoping to bf #2 longer. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] hope we can do it!

 

[redgin]

starry

yes, we can! me seriously planning to be SAHM or work part time after #2 comes along. so hopefully can bf longer. so now, i'm saving money and being very stingy! hehe.

i'm jio-ing KWXY to join us here as well cause her edd 2 Nov.

 

[starrymommy]

redgin,

able to cope financially if you become SAHM with 2 young kids?? haha! i also saw kwxy's edd. shld come here join us. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
