Hi, my agency told me helpers can come in as fast as 2 to 3 weeks now. Maybe you can explore this option. I have a young toddler and my maid has been a great help. As a working mummy, having help makes a difference.

Hi, My gynae explained that NIPT is a screening test while Amnio is a diagnostic test. NIPT has a high level of accuracy so only if the results come back high risk then mummy can decide whether to do amnio to confirm the diagnosis. If NIPT results are good then usually no need to take the risk...

You can go subsidised first. Go polyclinic get referral letter. Just note that you can't choose doctor. It's much cheaper. I heard they dun do scans every visit though. NIPT tests are about half price compared to private. You can subsequently switch to be a private patient at KKH and choose a...

Just sharing my own experience, private gynae at TMC, no package. Pay per visit. Each visit consultation $100, scan $80. Exclude supplements ($50-$60 a month). From 2nd trimester usually 1 visit a month. Last 2 months will shorten to 3 weeks then 2 weeks then weekly. Some gynaes offer package...

Are you intending to go to private hospital? Or KKH subsidized? Or KKH private?

Anyone knows if ok to take chicken essence during pregnancy?

Hi there, i had a mc before this and so my gynae gave me duphaston to support the pregnancy. She asked me to take daily til end of first trimester. Have a balanced diet, lots of vitamins and 2 glasses of milk a day. Also advised me to avoid caffeine, alcohol, ginseng, pineapples and all raw...

Did you try checking health hub for the results? I've done some tests at KKH before (but not NIPT) and so far all the results are uploaded on healthhub. Login with your singpass and try.

Don't worry about the age. Had my first kid at 40yo and have a few other friends who delivered at 40yo or older. You have had 2 healthy pregnancies, this one likely will go well too. Of cos with age, risk is higher so just do your NIPT and keep to regular gynae visits. Happy mummy, happy baby. :)

Dr Adelina Wong at TMC. Very gentle and reassuring. Stitching skills are good. Wound healed very fast for my previous natural delivery with minimal pain. She doesn't offer packages though.

Yes, you're right. Gynae all follow govt guidelines and encourage booster. My gynae asked me to take but due to my recent recovery, I'm actually good for another 9months before I need to take booster.

Thanks for asking. :) I've recovered and from the scan, baby is well. Only mild symptoms throughout the isolation period

Yellow dragonfruit works wonders for me but a little pricy. Prune juice works pretty well too.

Nope. Waiting since Sunday. So frustrating. Called the health buddy hotline on Monday to expedite. Also no use.

Yes. I'm vaccinated.

Hi, I'm 2 months pregnant and just tested positive too. I'm at a loss. Can you share how was your journey? I'm waiting for MOH to call.

Yes, you can do that. Can change to private anytime. Can change to be a private patient at KKH or simply continue to follow up at a private hospital after that.

If you're worried or if it happens again, do seek medical attention immediately. I'm sorry I do not know any gynae in the area as I do not stay nearby. I go to a gynae at thomson medical. You can search and go to any gynae clinic and they can do a scan to check that baby is doing ok.

Everyone is different. Maybe you're the lucky ones with no morning sickness. Some of my friends are like that and breeze through their pregnancy.

You will be cared for by a group of doctors including some junior doctors. Going by subsidy route means you can't choose doctor. May be seeing a different doc for every visit. Which is ok as long as you are comfortable with it. Good thing is everything is subsidised heavily.
