Hi wendy...finally u r here...
so when's ur edd? had ur chks with gynae?
so when's ur edd? had ur chks with gynae?
My first baby.. EDD 9th Aug.. was 5mm on prev chkup 17 Dec, Dr Yvonne Soong TMC.
I was only 6 weeks & she asked me to sign package already?! $800
Recently i found myself feeling anxious about the impending change... my life will NEVER be the same again?! The life that i was used to, the only life that i knew for nearly 30 years.. carefree, take care of myself, enjoy myself, no dependents, no one to take care of..
soon i'll b promoted to "Mother" status.. it's a 24x7 designation, & boy, is it a HUGE jump from "Wife" status. What kind of mother will i be? Can i live up to that title? How can God use me, as imperfect as I am, to be a guardian for His precious creation? I regard this with fear & trembling.
I thought I would look forward to the pregnancy.. but right now i have doubts.. i can pray against morning sickness, but can i pray against stretch marks & back ache? I fear gestational diabetes due to family history. I'm bombarded by all sorts of unsolicited advise about what to eat, what not to eat..
When will the "glow" come? I look forward to it.

wow...u got so many concerns! dun worry, u will be a good mum..if not, u wont be thinking of all these...haha..Good for ur bb!
Did u chk how much is the fees u hv to pay on every visit? Is it btr to sign a package?
For me, I went to see my gynae on 18.12.2004, I was abt 5wks 4 days then. I was charged $50 for consultaton, scan, folic acid and Vit. B6. I find it very reasonable so tt's y my gynae dun hv a package deal at all. Mine's a male gynae. This is my 2nd pregnancy.
My EDD should be on the 20.08.2005.
Yea..I agree a lot of things will change arnd u with the arrival of the bb. But dun worry, just take things as it comes k..u can cope with it btr.

Am i ready to be a mother, to be responsible for moulding a life according to God's Word?
Will i ever be ready for such a thing?
But as God granted us this baby, we thank Him for His signal that it's time for us to move on & grow up. With much trepidation do we accept this mammoth task, & are reminded to pray more to seek His direction & annointing. For it's not by power or might, it's only by His Spirit that enables us. Not by human understanding, for His ways are higher than ours.
Got to remind ourselves constantly to walk by faith, & not by sight.
Can u see that i'm overwhelmed? I'm only 6 weeks... =P

She said 1st visit $200, subsequent about $100. According to her calc, we'll save 50% by taking the package... it's ok with us lah, just din expect her to sign us up so soon.. i thought normally package will start 16-20 wks.
As usual, blood test & medicine excluded.
1st visit: Consultation, scan & calcium. I still had folic from previously. She told me not to take Obimin, which the prev gynae gave me (Dr Esther Ng).
Who's your gynae?
If i'm not wrong u said your #1 is 18 months?

hello gals,
want to check about costs as well. My gynae charged $80 for 1st consultation and $50 for subsequent ones. Her packages start from 4th month $950, and also does not include blood test and medicine other than usual supplements. dunno whether it's considered expensive or not?
also, what are your gynae's delivery charges?
wendy,
ur cycle is more than 28 days? cos my last menses stopped on 8 or 9 Nov leh, and my EDD is the same as yours.
as for motherhood responsibilities, well, just pray for the best and do what we can.

Hi
I think my EDD is almost close to miso's. My LMP is 13 Nov 04. This is my first pregnancy
When I went to see my doctor on 14/Dec, he did not do any scan for me? Is that normal? could it be because I'm only 4 weeks then?
Still thinking with whether to switch to Dr Lawrence Ang (TMC) or stick with my Gleneagles'RE. My RE is very ex and make me worry abt cost....

Hi Michelle and ix, welcome here.
Michelle, dun worry k. Enjoy ur pregnancy, eat well and rest well! U need those energies when bb is born!
Ix..cool, so our EDD should be abt the same. I know some docs at 'prestigious' hospitals dun do scanning on every visit. As to whether you should switch to another gynae, the most impt factor I would consider first is how comfy I am with the gynae...cos I hv to see him for the next 9 mths leh..
Wendy, will chk on my gynae's delivery charges..dun wish to call in the office, cos lidat..all my colleagues will know! haha...

erm... not feeling tired coz i'm at home anyway. On long MC for excision of infected lymph node.
When i get back to work then see how.. my office very fast paced & full of deadlines.. so God timed the start of this preggie with sick leave so that i can rest at home.. heh.
i can't eat my regular meals though.. hv to take small portions. Lots of gas.. been burpin & fartin a lot. Could either be due to baby or antibiotics (for my wound).
wah, so fast hv to wear maternity.. no need to pantang lah, since God has blessed, what u wear won't affect lah.
i've lost 2kg over the past month due to the surgery & the bland food.. & sommore now can't take my regular portions..

hi everyone,
nice to see this thread growing!
ixwong, my gynae did a scan for me on all my visits...cost quite a bomb i tell you! the first time was when i wanted to confirm my pregnancy (at about 4 weeks). she detected a bit of excessive fluid outside the water sac in my womb, which can be worrisome if no improvement. 2nd time (2 days later) to confirm that it is not an ectopic pregnancy (i.e. fertilised egg outside of womb). 3rd time was last sat, when i can see the bb heart beating..hehe...
michelle, not to worry. find yourself a reliable gynae and everything will be fine.. loads of people have given birth well past their 30s..

i may hv given wrong info to gynae & so my EDD may not be zhun..
last chk'd was 9th Aug (National Day!)
what i do know is that conception shld be during the long wkend of Deepavali & Puasa.
We were planning to go away but he couldn't get off work, so bb is Made in Punggol =))
Michelle

Hi gals,
I'm 6+ weeks preggy and EDD 15 Aug 04. This is my 1st pregnancy and is very precious to me cos it I conceived under ICSI.
Hi Ixwong,
It's a bit early to scan at 4 week. U will see only a dot then. When I scan at 4.5 weeks, can only see a sac and at 5.5 weeks, then saw the pulse.
Hi Wendyg,
I'm getting gassy stomach too. Make me very sick and uncomfortable. Going to buy Ru Yi Oil tonight to apply. I've also lost weight, abt 1.5kg so far. Hope our gassy feeling will go off soon!

Hi nyny, I heard Dr. Paul Tseng is good..what are his charges like?
miso
har nor.. i'm home for a month now.. must have smthg to look forward to .. find myself remembering the TV showtimes..
yeah all the medication is baby safe.. gynae also approved the antibiotics. Since day 1, I was telling all the docs that I was TTC, so they were cautious when prescribing medicine. Even painkillers.
