Hugs dont feel discourage! More imptly is to deliver ue bb safely. I am 38 wks now and counting down.. Felt like i had some contractions but it didnt persist into a regular interval for labour...

No, its not a stupid qns. I think its a preference issue between UV and steam. I think killing bacteria should work the same? UV kills 99% of the bacteria. The main difference i feel is: 1. UV requires minimum 30mins to run a cycle of drying and sterilising the bottle so your bottles come out...

i am using a UV steriliser now, previously use a steam sterilizer. Now i think the UV steriliser is my best investment! You don't need to remember to empty and add water every time you need to sterilise your bottles or get hurt by the steam vapor when you urgently need a bottle to use.

Anyone Pop?

Yap. you can request. they do listen to the heart beat every time.

I am coming to #36 weeks and take public transport to work most of the days and hub will fetch me from work. I stand most of my 1st tri but i am ok with it as i don't have much morning sickness and no tummy to show. During 2nd tri, just nice was the holi season, lesser crowd but i still stand...

She is having water retention, i guess. Drink more water and eat less salty stuff. Do feedback to your gynae too!

No worries. Maybe you can highlight your financial issues during the polyclinic visit. :) Take care. Do not that subsided patient cannot choose their own gynae and they will not scan you regularly.

NUH or KKH? Get a referral from poly to be a subsidized patient? I am with NUH and my consultation is around $35 per visit, medication are subsided also. If you are below a certain income ceiling, you will be entitled more discount. I am going to deliver soon and my estimated bill for a...

I agreed with you. @meme, i was like you, i was so fixated on getting pregnant but my hub is very relaxed. I can't even convince him to see the doc to analysis his sperm count and see TCM. I did get pregnant after seeing the TCM but my pregnancy was not viable and the same thing happen twice...

I think it depends on how ur body react to the induce med. I was induced at 38wks for my #1 due to my GDM and other medical condition, my dilation really took a while to kick start but it went well and i did not have a E C-sect. If the bb is too big then u risk injuring yourself and the baby...

Yap, for my #1, i was a private patient with NUH so the gynae did scan me frequently in my 1st tri as i am a high risk patient. but when i move to 2nd tri, my scans got lesser. This round, knowing my previous medical condition, I went to get a referral letter and got myself into the sub high...

yap. I am a private patient with NUH for my #1 and even then the doc don't scan me every time, of coz you can request but scans are additional charge not covered by their package. For my #2, due to medical condition, i am with the sub clinic, they only listen to heart beat every visit and...

If u decide to be a sub patient, please note that docs are not the same every time and they don't scan the bb every visit also.

ur best bet is to go thru the polyclinic to get a referral to be a sub patient at the govt hospital. Any private gynae first consultation will cost u around $150-$250.
