The group name of this thread clearly states "March 2015 mummies" and not "March 2015 mummies & daddies". Furthermore, the group has given the consensus that the FB group is for females only. In our modern society, there is still segregration in basic amenities between the Female and Male...

my current job doesn't require me to travel after i told my boss my plans to start a family. my hubby used to travel a lot and he realised that our son became more distant to him. so he also cuts down on his business travels after telling the boss.

mummies, don't you find it very tiring to bring the LO along for overseas holidays? we brought our #1 to taiwan when he was 16 mths old. we even begged and sponsored my parents to come along to help babysit as they had been to taiwan many times. ended up my parents also surrendered after the...

feel like lazing around in some thai resort but know that can't go lah. sigh.

usually, the stomach ultrasound can't really scan anything during the 1st trimester. have to do vagina scan. my gynae is the kiasu and kiasi type. he doesn't allow his patients to go on overseas holidays and even business trips! was thinking of staycations but hubby is against the idea as he...

I'm already counting down to lunchtime so that I can have a good lunch and take a nap before surviving the afternoon at work.

the pte hospitals are not as fully equipped as KKH. sometimes knowing that the baby/babies will come out pre-term, the docs at the pte clinics will also advise to transfer to KKH as the medical costs will be much lower with the subsidy. it's a shame that KKH is not able to keep the really good...

Hi J-assy, i personally don't have a good opinion of KKH even though it is supposed to be our country's best equipped hospital for maternity and paediatric care. I have only been to KKH once for a A&E maternity visit. The nurses were nice but the whole place and the gynae on duty were terrible...

Just read a post my #1 mummies shared. Abt a baby die. And recently a 8mth old baby die due to fall from bed. My #1 also a 8mth old girl now. Suddenly I feel, if god wants to give me a pair of twins, it a blessing. So even twins or single baby inside, I'll will also love no matter what. =) Also...

i heard that the twins gene won't pass to the sons but to the daughters. so if you've twin siblings (not your hubby), then there's a chance that you'll be carrying twins.

the ingredients % might be different. i feel more assured going to the gynae since can also do the VS to monitor the little pea for the fetal length and the heartbeat.

i'm the kiasu type so i went to see the gynae as soon i tested positive on my own. also want to start taking folic acid and whatever supplements from my gynae. i don't trust those bought from outside though they may be cheaper.

actually, what was the total costs that you ladies paid to your gynae for your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? mine was about $8 k including the doc's fee for delivery. hospitalization was about $8 k for 5D4N stay. that was in year 2012.

The nurses at my gyn's clinic are very friendly and patient. Always have a smile on their faces. The nurse who led me to be admitted for my #1 even dropped by my ward to visit me after I gave birth. Same for the hospital staff who really went beyond their duties to help me after my childbirth...
