May,
Goodness, how can your boss tell you gals "don't get preggie". The govt is encouraging more bbs leh.
misterygal,
You mean you saw those young docs at SGH/NUS? Ya, I know there's a lot of on job training docs there. Sound scaring hor, I have no confident with these docs. Unless you are a private patient, if not you will be seeing different gynaes each visit. For me, I want a gynae who sees me thr out my pregnancy period. If you are a private patient from govt hospital, the charges is more or less compare to private hospital. Sometimes, I feel more ex.
I'm with Dr Lawrence Ang. Ya, his package is very cheap hor? And he is a nice guy. The package is not standardised for all gynaes from TMC. You decided to give birth in TMC? Different gynaes package is different. Don't think is based on hospital.
HOwever for hospital charges, you can take a look from this URL to compare. http://www.motherhood.com.sg/dirlistings/hospital.asp
Dr Ang's package starts from 4th mth.
doggiemummy,
Wah, you can see heartbeat already ah? I only see the sac.
pig2,
$50 for senior consultant is not ex.

Hi to those who sent their wishes and encouragements to me,
Thank you. I confined myself to bed since yday and am trying hard to do whatever I can to stop the spotting. The spotting seem to have become reddisher compared to the brown-red, but it was lesser. Am praying for the best for today before my check up tomorrow.
I hope this is just an implantation bleeding only. Will definitely want to stay on and chat with u girls here.
Will update again, have to get back to bed. meanwhile you girls take care.

doggiemummy, it's good sign that your young one is sending to you, telling mummy, I'm strong so you can be assured. Hope I'll see good news on my visit next week.
Ryes, just relax for now. It's very common so don't stress yourself up else womb can't relax.

There is a pass-down method from the old folk to deal with the spotting.
Ask your mum to prepare black chicken essense for you. My SIL had threaten miscarriage, my mum prepare this for her for about 1 week, and the condition improves, she has delivered her baby last month.
1) remove the black chicken backside and head
2) 'grind' or 'smash' the chicken (meat and bone)
3) place a inverted small bowl in a big bowl.
4) put the plate on top of the inverted small bowl, the plate should be slightly smaller than the big bowl
5) lay the 'smash' chicken nicely on top of the plate, sprinkle about 3 tablespoon of water on the chicken
6) cover the big bowl tight.
7) steam for about 4-5 hours.
8) when is done, remove the chicken, remove the plate, you will find about 1/2 bowl of chicken essense trap in the small bowl
9) pour out and drink the chicken essense.
Hope this will help!

Jenny, I agree, sometimes a private patient in a govt hosp. may pay more than a private patient in a private hosp. But no choice, since I'm comfortable with the gynae in KKH I'll just stick to him. And I can't afford to take leave on weekdays, so have to see him in he private suite which is more expensive, but I need Sat consultations.

coral,
For gynae, I think the most impt is we must be comfortable with them, cos they are the one who are going to deliver bb for us and also taking care of us for the next 1 year (till after delivery). You are seeing Dr Tony Tan? He's good

hi jenny
my mum also said the black chicken is to strenghten the womb. My TCM recommend to add 'tung shen' to 'an tai'. I don't think is heaty, being taking everyday, no problem.
My mum also make the same for my 2 SILs, their babies are very healthy and strong. And my SILs don't feel that tired during the final trimester.

Opps, last week my mum cook birdnst for me. Better tell her to stop. I won't really bu in 1st tri. Heard it's not good to take herbs. But since I eat out daily so think it's good to drink chicken essence occasionally when I go to mum's place for dinner.
jenny.. i buy those 'shui yan' very little feather.. cos all very 'loose' one... tink the feathers mostly drop out in process..
doggiemummy.. hahhaa.. ya must enjoy.. tis is ur 1st one rite?? me nw 2nd one ppl ard me more or less heck care lioa.. hahaha..
pig2... ur bb must like the chicken soup at lot...

coral i tink if ur mum did nt put in the pao sheng still can take. cos birdnest is not reali bu w/o it. But dan again its up to individual one.. my fren gynae actually told her if she wan to take birdnest can go ahead but it wont do much for the mother or baby one. its just for the taste.
hahaha!!!! Maybe my BB like chicken soup, been drinking for so long liao.
Anyway my understanding is during the first trimester, if wants to take herbs, take those for 'bu qi', like 'dung shen'. Pao sheng (american ginseng) can be taken but got to buy the expensive range, not cooling, but 'ti sheng'. Bird nest can be taken from 2nd trimester, is good for baby skin, but also take the better range (those need to remove tiny feather ones). Nice and good desert during pregnancy will be 'xue ge', alot of good hormones.

Dun worry about the vomitting! Me too, everymeal sure throw up abit. But if you cut down on the meal size, ie 3 meals split to 6 meals, you will feel better.
Xue ge is very easy to prepare. Buy a packet, about $50, maybe can eat about 4-5 times.
1) soak them in water, when they expands, you just remove any impurities you can see
2) use red dates (remove the seed, the seed represent 3 fire, very heaty), rock sugar
3) add 1 - 2 bowl of water, and steam over small frame for couples of hours.
