ling2, yes its the same doctor.
kelly,
yes I paid her in cash, anyway her clinic only accepts cash, must always make sure pocket got money before go and see her. she told me about this article on the benefits on Neurogain and encouraged me to eat so I've been getting it from her. Have since stopped cos my baby is already coming to 38th end of this week, anxiously waiting for her to pop, don't really want to waste more $$ on pills. Was telling hubby that I may change gy for my next try.

HI Honeyb,
I heard that we should continue to take neurogain or fish oils if we intend to continue breastfeeding our baby after she is out...

Oh Cat,
You are with TPS? Hmm ... Shouldn't their services be better?
I would say the senior nurses are nicer & friendlier.
I did encounter some not-so-nice & oh-so-ignorant on breastfeeding young nurses.
While you are there after delivery & need help with nursing, you can request for LC Nurse Yen Ping or Cynthia Pang to visit your ward yah.

Then you must be feeling kinda lethargic from the flu?
Have you check with your GY if he's k with C-sect?
As long as the Op table is available, I think it still can be arranged right?
piyo,
I know its good for baby but I couldn't stand the after taste esp when you burp..yikes..I tend to eat more fish to substitutue for the pills.
My friend is seeing WK Tan at TMC. WK Tan never ask her to get any of these supplements cos she believe that natural ingredients from food is better, like eat more fish and drink more milk rather than pop pills and I tend to agree with her.

Really appreciate the info.
Yes yes ... I am looking forward to my hospital stay.
#2 was hospitalised there when he was 6 months old and I do have good impression of the nurses there already.

I just took out my invoice (dated Sep 04).
It didn't state specifically if charges are incurred for LC to visit the ward leh.
Will it be possible to check with the nurses there your next visit?

Augbaby,
I din use Madam Inah finally.. as my sis in law intro me a massage lady who charges merely $30 per session of 1 hour, min 5 sessions. Her fren tried and commented very good. I wish to give it a try as it really saves me alot.. 5 sessions only $150 including bandages, herbs, everthing. I intended to do 7 days, but she can only do for me 5 days as her schedule is too full, and i called her last minute.
I think wanli will wan to wait until after confinement then do the massage.

i recall very correctly tat her bill is $10+ for herself and $65 for e bb. hers is a natural delivery wif other types of painkiller, not assisted & no epi.

hi mommies,
i just came back from hospital...got "show" this morning, so called W K Tan, and she asked me to go down with my hospital n the hospital letter! so i went down with my MIL, coz hubby gotta go office to settle his work.
Gynae did a V check for me and asked me to go up to the labour ward for 1-hr CTG monitor... got abt 5 contractios, nurse kept asking me if i feel anything, but nothing leh...
so after long 1-hr monitoring done, gynae came and did a V check again (so painful!!!) then she told me tat bb is not ready to come out yet... i can go home! >.<
false alarm lah!! aiyah...made my MIL so happi!! tot i can deliver by afternoon! kekeke......she's been waiting for this promotion! =P
just lie on the bed, and my pocket burnt a hole...$67. sigh...
there were some real cases in the room with me juz now, aiyo...made me so scared!! coz i can hear them moan and groan!! so i just kept praying and got my cell group to back me up in prayers too!! then i felt the Peace...hmmm...nice feeling! =P
fyi - i saw one pack of 20-pc kotex loop pads on my bed, think tats the brand of maternity pads we will get when we stay there...

cynthia,
my gynae instructed me 2 check into a 4bedded ward 1st then he'll give me FOC upgrade to 2bedded. who knows, 13jul is a very popular day in MAH. even 1bedded are all full, they also dun have many 2bedded rooms left so e hospital dun allow FOC upgrade (they rather give e 2bedded rooms 2 patients who r paying 2bedded prices). if i get FOC upgrade, i'm paying 4bedded prices for everything i do in MAH.
bo pian, husband switched me to a 2bedded ward lor...
my gynae, dr ang gets FOC upgrade fr 4bedded to 2bedded at TMC but not all e time at MAH.
