- Thread starter miz_hopeful
- Start date
tinklebell,
there's a SBI (subsequesnt born incentives) as well for 2nd time parents...so you can still consider....
ya, I was thinking you, celeste and myself, we all may end up around same time give birth at TMC...haven't decide what bed yet...either 2 or 1...not sure if it's better to have hubby to stay with me or not loh....

nay doll, u not kpo.. it's very helpful.. i have also signed up for FBI.. it's what Doll has mentioned.. so it's worth to join.. if u have citibank credit card, use it to pay cos they have promo now.. instead of the usual fee of $138,u pay $98.. so it's really worthwhile..
Btw when did u gals feel the bb kicking?? I got funny feeling sometimes but i am not sure whether it's the bb kicking.. but when i touch my tummy, i dun feel my tummy moving. so maybe it's not.. i am already in 18-19 wks, but feel nothing leh.. sigh..

tks okasan, is the membership immediate? was thinking if i can apply on the day of my detailed scan. will the application take long? for me, i'm interested in the cordlife discount. If it's for 9 yrs, then it's v much worth the membership.
Hi pebbles,
Congrats on ur bb Gerger! i m stil deciding whether to attend the antenatal classess. See how when i m approaching to 5th mths. Me too, i cant eat my fav. sashimi. actually very fast one. now actually must enjoy the pregnancy period hehe wow u stil cook urself often ah, sounds healthy leh. Btw i heard dun take too much ginger leh. hmm...
Hi matched_gal,
ya soups are delicious, spice up my appetite. but if never cook, outside soups very limited. usually what kind of soups u drink?
Hi lyn,
I dun think ur bb is small. Cos using kk's method (8.53+6.5=15.03wks) so its consider big leh since u are in ur 14wks during measurement.
Wow u eat only 1 meal? for me, i just eat 3 meals per day n in between snacks like biscuits/milo if hungry. me too i love fries/potatoes! oily food make me puke!
Hi Celeste,

detailed scan costs $150 ah? I never ask my gynae...but I know that time my NT Scan costs $90+ at TMC.
okasan,
okies pokies....think I probably will sign up for the FBI since its only $98 and can get discounts off the detailed scan, antenatal classes and delivery charges
think shld be able to save more than $98 bah...hehe 
Btw, I think there's a higher chance I might choose TMC....cos I saw at Mt. A the 4-bedder wards got 2 beds the space is really cramped....wonder how is it like at TMC's 4-bedder wards...hmmzz
tinklebell,
I wonder if Dr. Adrian can get us 2-bedder wards at the price of 4-bedder hor? I am thinking of going for 4-bedder wards but wonder if can get the free upgrade to 2-bedder? But my fren told me TMC's 2-bedder wards 1 of the bed not so spacious...another one is more spacious...havent actually seen b4 so donno also.

ya you have to apply for the card personally @ the guest relations counter. & SBI is for 2nd kid onwards
for my 1st bb, i applied on the day of my detailed scan, you just need to bring the receipt & show to the cashier @ the foetal scan clinic. the lady who prepare ur application will advise you. the card arrives ard 2weeks later.
and any citibank card will do,
hi okasan,
i need to go & dig out my receipt for my detailed scan. i remb tat i paid $89 for my detailed scan after discount.
hi Celeste,
for my gynae, so far it has been 2 bedded @ the price of 4 bedded. 3flr 2 bedded rooms r smaller. 5flr 2 bedded r bigger, the gap between the 2 beds r wider..

hmm.. think i overpay for the my detailed scan and oscar. i rem i pay both together at abt $450!!! how come so much?? i pay directly to the lab not my gynae.. u mean gynae's prices will be cheaper?? But i lugi cos i paid b4 i apply for FBI..
Err.. kite, i actually put on lots of wt despite my ms.. i gain abt 5-6kg up till now. i am already in 18-19 wks.. haha.. my husband and i r quite small sized, so dun think my bb will be big. though i hope so.. but i think my bb is abt 15cm at wk 17-18 wks.. so if u go by your mtd, then my bb size shd be 22wks if i add 6.5cm.. but then i think it depends on how the gynae measures or shape of the bb at the time of measurement

Re : Cordblood banking: 3 banks one public and two pte one.
The public one (Singapore Cord Blood Bank aka SCCB) requires u to donate the cord blood and it will be stored free. Ownership of the cord blood, however, is with SCCB. your child will be given piority for stem cells transplant if need be (touch wood) and it will be free. Can call Tel: 6394 5011 to find out more.
One private one here is called Stem Cord. The upfront fee is $750 if u deliver in Gleneagles and $800 if in TMC. In 2002, when i asked ard, the rate was $1700 to $2000. The annual fee they charge is $250. U can call them at 64712002 for the materials if u wish and can arrange for the consultant to answer to your queries.
3rd one is Cordlife: 1. All-Inclusive Plan for Cordlife, one time payment of $1,200 upon registration. Annual storage fee of $250 (payable from 2nd year onwards). If u are delivering in NUH, one time pmt is $800. Contact number is 6238 0808. See this website http://www.cordlife.com/sg/index/index.php
After doing some research, i think most likely i will choose Cordlife bec it has been around for longer time and is highly accreditted.

hee heee... i take it like insurance .. i thought it through for a long time... i think this is more worth it than life insurance... for a life of your precious one... something no amt of money can buy. a perfect match somemore. i just amortise the $250 to 12 mths, it makes it ard $20 per mth... $20 is for one good meal at hawker centre.... i'm sure i can do without that one meal. Didnt get for my first born bec no money at that time.... just my 2 cents worth of thought.
Hi mummies,
It was so HOT during lunch. i was using an umbrella throughout. But now raining cats & dogs. E weather so weird hor.

tinklebell, $1200 liao ! hmmm.. they just increase ? hiaz.. coz my fren just signed in november and it was still $1100 + $55 (GST)...
matched gal, i only know the manner of storing is different. stem cord is a litte outdated and the percentage of infection during the drawing of the blood is higher cmopared to Cord Blood.

celeste, yes, there is a public one. i am not sure if they collect from pte hospitals. i ever heard that they do. maybe u can call them to check. The upfront pmt is expensive bec it includes professional fees to remove and store the cord blood. $1.2k is quite ex... that's why i thought over it for quite some time. but i feel that i can still live with the $250 annual storage fee. i feel that if ever something happen to my children, i will be v sorry if they could be helped but i didnt do my part to help them... just my 2 cs worth of thought lah.

hi ladies
I think for those who are going to deiver in TMC, it is a good choice to go for the first born incentive! My hubby prefers me to go Mount Alvernia as the route is less congested and parking is easier.
hi cookiezm
You can ask to send ya detailed scan to yr place, for me, I just ask them to send to my gynae. Didn't e radiographer tell u the weight of the baby? She told me the weight. I asked her about the length, she said the weight is more accurate to determine after week 20.
The fish oil is recommended by most gynaes. It is Neurogain BP, 30 pills for $31 from my gynae. If you go to some pharmacies in singapore, it costs about $29. If you have good lobang, do share with me okie??
hi kite
A bit of ginger is okay. Me can't wait to put e sashimi in my mouth too!!!! Yum Yum! I normally steam food so it is pretty easy. No one cooks for me so no choice loh. Anyway I oso scare of eating outside economy rice, my mil or mum's food, dunno why, maybe I jus want something light.
hi matched gal
Me normally steam food at home since most of the time we have to eat out due to work. I did feel sudden weird feelings at times but they were not intense.
I am thinking of storing the cord blood too. You can call Cordlife for more info. Storage is about $200 plus per year and if you have the TMC card, then got $50 off. (forgotten if it is every year or just the first year)
Hi Josephine
I think it is still best to avoid sashimi. Better eat cooked food than to regret eh?

celeste, i saw a show on CNA.. the cord blood collected by the public bank is for anyone who is in need of the cord blood. i dun tink there's any cost involve so it's more of donation to the public bank. currently, they dun take from pte but i tink they will do it in the future.
tinklebell,
hmmzz...but juz wondering bout 1 thing.....does that mean if u store 1 kids cord blood, it can be used on another kid if anything happens...*touch wood*...or its like need to store for each kid?

celeste, the cord blood is perfect match for the person whom it comes from. For siblings, it may not be a perfect match but there is still chance of a match. Chances of a match is higher if it comes from the family. If it matches, u dont have to search worldwide for a donor. i ever read in the papers that mummies actually try giving birth to another child in the hope of a match for the sick child... very touching stories. ***SOB SOB***
