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.

i am a private patient with NUH when i am having my #1., 3 years ago. My gynae was Doc Chua Tsei Meng and i always see her at Jurong Clinic instead of NUH thus my waiting time is roughly around 15-30min every time. The nurses and midwives at the delivery ward were very nice and supportive. I...

Maybe TB directly can but i wouldn't suggest buying thru EZbuy as EZbuy is block by TB now. EZbuy is offering other china websites now. I think you have to read properly the reviews and compare a lot. Also check how the item is packed. Most are flat packed like IKEA and we have to assemble...

Ya... i envy those pp have a lot of supplies (my sis! she can pump 1L-1.5L everyday, avg 300ml per pump session). . I nvr had engorgement, #1 couldn't latch becoz i got short nipple and she is so impatient to latch properly, ended up pumping and pump strawberry milk once and always have to...

i find Lalu/Iora range of clothings very forgiving for pregnant ladies. The dress i brought i normally ranged from 2 for $39 or $29/pc. My work environment do not require me to wear very formal so i can buy this kind of "more casual" office wear. I buy from taobao also but its a hit n miss...

I heard good things about Spectra too! My Medela is still working so i decide not to invest in a new one unless i have a lot of breast milk. I wasn't very prepared for breastfeeding for my #1 only managed to mix feed for 1 month plus. My worst nightmare...
