Reply to Giggler on a qn on the prev archived thread.
Giggler, I use it on dry skin - on my legs - got those white scaling ptaches cos 2 dry. then I find it ok. Bt I m nt a hardwking person, so till nw I dun c alot of results yet. bt on my chest area - yes, I think it's getting better, @ least I dun itch after applying.
Charis - oh............ for me - I bought the 3/4s alreayd $69 per pc @ MM le, then I went ard to c then all the pricing abt the same. I guess it's very individual bah. If the $30+ can last u till full term then of cos gd for u lah cos u found something cheap & gd! bt if u hv to change @ almost every stage, then isn't it back to sq one? Although u spend little @ a time u dun feel the pain.
PM gals @ Suntec din manage to push me to get things though, they asked me to try I just ignore.
I feel they r very friendly, as they showed me diff clothes & etc, then I try already I like then I buy, I dun like, no matter hw they push I also wun buy.
Bitbit - diff gynae gives diff med. Since he said I shld take then I shld trust him. as for tummy - aiyoh, long time ago already show until dunno ware bt it looks like I m fat bt nt preggie lah........ all my bottoms getting tighter liao lor.
Cherryale - ur gynae also frm GlenE? Mine also, then mine is frm O&G Centre Dr Tham also 5th flr.
Starlite - 1.6k incl antenatal pkg???? hmm........... if so then it's gd price, cos I know most of them antenatal is 1 pkg, then deliveyr pkg is another. bt I think if mine antenatal + normal delivery is ard ur price also.
Wah, so pekochan's bb is bigger than mine afterall. Mine heng arh, still consider small. ha ha ha....
Cherryale - I got their maternity charges tat day bt I think I threw it away. U can try calling them & ask them to fax to u. Their hv 2 - either alar carte or pkg. Of cos ala carte will b more exp. However if u choose to take ala carte, DBS Women's car hv 10% off. I asked them las Sat when I was tare cos DBS Womens got tis mailer then I tore out & ask the customer svc.

hi girls.. good morning!
I was very happy with TMC and will not hesitate to recommend to all my friends. My hubby was so pampered that he also didn't want to leave. Hehe.
This time definitely going for the same - single bedder so that hubby can room in, maybe even my son might room in (if allowed)..
starlite, could you pls mail me at [email protected]? Thanks!

hi doggy,,
yup his charges are one of the lowest. however, his clinic is always very very packed and he is always very busy. He seems to be in a rush, but if u have any queries, he is patient to explain.
Yup one thing i like abt him is he encourages us to go with epidural. I would love to go without if possible.

hi gals,,,
dunno is it my hormones at work or wat, i feel a little pissed off this morning.
i was looking at a recipe of how to make soya bean milk, then one of my coll says i should not eat that cos it is liang.. everytime i eat something, she will comment not healthy lah, must take this and that. she even say must take one can of coke immediately after wake up to ease morning sickness. When i say i chose TMC, she also say no good.. arggghhh.
I might not be well-off as her, i pay wat i can afford and get hands me down from others..she also say preggie must try to look good , cannot be lazy..haiz.

She says TMC is very old and not much people lor.
The best thing is she haven give birth before, but can comment so much.
I think TMC is good enuff, judging from so many positive comments from the forum
just now, she added that vaginal birth no good, c-section better. and my gynae is no good cos keep recommending people to go natural without epi..

aiyah.. she says no need to endure pain and after delivery , no need to bear with heavy menses. I dunno abt the menses part , is it true that c-section, gynae will clean up all the blood?
anyway, i dont want to argue cos ultimately it is medically proven that natural is better (unless due to medical reasons)
its not that she dont know, in fact she is very knowledgable person, but her way of thinking is quite different... maybe due to her job nature, she is quite insistant on people accepting her view.

Hi ladies,
I already called my gynae, I would only need to see her if I had cramps.
I had further bad news from my NT scan. My bb dun have risk of down syndrome, but the risk of edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) is high. it is an physically adnormality which will be miscarriage during early stage or still born or died within 1 year of birth. for my age. it should be 1:1091 but the result shows 1:144. In terms of percentage, it is just 1% but I dunno how big this 1 % may be. I hoping that my bb will be the 143 babies.
I had already informed my hubby abt this, he will fly back and do the re-scan with me. And if there is no improvement, we will seek for 2nd opinion together.

ck & stella,
ya...it is true tt menses will not be heavy after delivery. The dtr will clean it for u after taking out the bb. So flow wise is lesser & shorter.
It's a total diff feeling.
Obivously, natural is the best cos that's the way since ages how a bb comes out. And also no matter what c-section is still quite a major operation so i guess there is still some risk there. However, now the medical is so advance so shd not post a big problem.
Gynae will only propose c-section is there is a need. If not all shd be normal. Maybe...i am not sure...the gynae want to earn more....cos it's more costly to do for c-section.

there is a treatment oil from clarins that is for stretch mark and firming. i tried it and like the smell. it's $76 per bottle. anyone plan to go pre-natal massage? heard that it's advisable to start from 5 mths onwards. quite keen to give it a try.

ck, JC and Stella,
Thanks, I still have hope that bb will be fine. I still have hope. I can't do CVS test or amino becos the rate of miscarriage is actually higher than the rate of bb getting trisomy and there is 10% of inaccuracy. So gynae dun advise it. What we can do now is, wait for another scan and see what is the next step.
Edward's syndrome is genetic or can happened without a reason. I just have to continue to jia you.

*hug*hug* take care.
Remember it only measures the probability of the risk occuring. Seeking 2nd opinion and reading up more on the issue might help you feel better.

It's obvious that your colleague doesn't know what on earth she is talking about. Maybe you could just tell her something like "thank you for your comments. I shall take it into consideration". And walk away or turn away and don't give her anymore attention.
Many many pple love to deliver at TMC. They say the service is really good. My only grouse is the carpark.
How can C-sect be better than natural. God made us to give birth naturally. C-sect is a surgery. Recovery takes longer. Maybe no labour pain but certainly your surgery wound will hurt. Walking will be difficult after surgery. You would have had your intestines moved about and all. How natural is that?
I also made soya bean drink myself last week
. It was easier than I had imagined.
icy,
Hey, don't worry so much. It is only a slightly elevated CHANCE of having this condition. Please don't worry. It is in NO WAY a certainty of the condition. SMILE!!! Be happy for your baby. Pray pray pray.
This is one of the reasons why my hb and I didn't want any tests that are not conclusive. My hb is a big worrier. Any elevated 'chance' would have him worrying for the rest of the pregnancy. What for? And I'm so old, the figures would be skewed because of my age already. Every baby we can have will be a blessing, no matter what. So we must be thankful. So keep on smiling

stella,
I soaked the beans overnight. Next morning, I de-shelled the beans (this is the most time-consuming part). Then I put beans and water into a blender and blended. Then strain and squeeze through a coffee strainer bag. Then boil with some sugar and pandan leaves.
icy,
The chances of the baby being normal are actually far better than the chances of the baby having trisomy. So take heart. Unless your result was very strongly positive (which they weren't).

Hi gals,
after icy's experience, I really wonder should I go for the NT scan. I am worrying excessively already so if the result turns out bad, I dun know if I can take it. Should I stick to the conventional neck measurement and 2nd tri blood test as recommended by gynae or go for NT scan?? Any advice?? Starlite,what do u think?? Your NT scan is coming right?
Icy, take care and will pray for you and baby to be well.

Hi cherryale..
I think basically u have to think why u want to go for NT scan..purpose..n wat are u going to do when u get the results..For eg. Cos for some, they want to keep the baby despite bad news..but some want to decide to abort or not to..some want to jus be prepared.

hi icy
so sorry to hear about the NT scan. Glad that u are going for a re-scan. If u look at it from another angle, there is a 99% that ur baby is normal.
Keep us posted and meanwhile rest well and dun worry too much ok?

hi icy, stay positive.. like chloe says, it's 99% that your baby is OK! so take care!
ck, a couple of my friends who delivered at Mt A didn't get very good lactation help so couldn't bf..whereas at TMC, they really make sure you can leave hospital and breastfeed successfully.. thus TMC is always my first choice.
stella, that woman doesn't know what she's talking about.. of course c-section is not preferable unless you hv some severe medical condition. STUPID!!! Just ignore that ridiculous colleague
pvl, waaaaaaah.. you're a domestic goddess, can make your own soya bean milk!! gosh!
doggy, erm, for me I only returned back in my 8th month of pregnancy so I think I had to pay slightly more cash to my gynae as I didn't take package.. hmm.. can't really recall but maybe I paid out total cash $3k or less? Not incl baby's jaundice which was about $750 cash for 2 nights hospitalisation. Does anybody hv the details for doggy??

doggy, erm, for me I only returned back in my 8th month of pregnancy so I think I had to pay slightly more cash to my gynae as I didn't take package.. hmm.. can't really recall but maybe I paid out total cash $3k or less? Not incl baby's jaundice which was about $750 cash for 2 nights hospitalisation. Does anybody hv the details for doggy??
JC no lah not stupid question lah. Er.. for me it was quite ok 'cos I was still very compact.. and my dad paid for biz class for me to travel back from US. Travelled without hubby
Got letter from gynae and travel on SQ is OK for Singaporeans
'cos coming back home mah.. dun think other countries will allow you to enter though. Like M'sia, above 6 months pregnant cannot enter.
ck, then just choose TMC lah. Since there's some mummies who praise abt the hospital. Me really tempted to cut my hair real short too. Maybe till ear, now my hair is below bra line. It's so long and curly that I find it diff to maintain. Sigh.... Me prefer soupy stuff recently.
nana, I cooked whenever I feel like eating the curry noodle but usu cant finish the whole pkt nowadays. I find that I cant take too spciy food nowadays.
PVL, I had the same thinking as you abt having bb is a blessing alr.
cherryale, I'll trust my gynae and just follow whatever tests he suggest to do, wont do addition test on my own.

stella, yah lor
maybe we all see each other..last time, a few of us Jan 2005 moms also crossed paths at TMC.
JC..hmm.. I would say don't travel to US in your 3rd tri.. if anything happens, the medical bills will pok kai you!!! For my 8 months of prenatal care, I paid about USD5k leh! Delivery (normal, one day hospitalisation) is around USD18k.. so I would say don't go 'cos if anything happens over there (choi choi), you will end up paying through your nose.
Anybody dropping hair? Or suffering from insomnia???

gals, sorry - really tied dwn w/ my wk. Just glanced thru.
Pekochan - my bb 12w 2d is 5.8cm mah, tat time the gals say my bb so big, bt then urs @ 12w is already 6cm so isn't urs bigger than mine?
icy - dun think too much, all the MTBs here will mentally support u!
Then as for those who did nt do the test - if u chk w / ur gynae & he/ she says it's nt necessary base on wat he/ she sees then dun let urself worry too much. BT if u really wanna hv a peace of mind then by all means do it.
I did ask my gynae on tis - he said base on his chks, everything is ok + my age & blah blah blah. However if I still wanna do, I hv to tell him soon cos supp to b dwon w/in this XX wks. So I said I trust him so I m nt doing.
Stella - ignore ur coll lah - everything u r doing/ choosing also nt gd, then everything she has is gd meh? Ignore her lah - some ppl r just like tat, like to pour wet blanket.

Hi gals,
I finally pluck up my courage to call my uncle who is a gynae in GlenE (didnt want to call initially cos I am not seeing him, so pai say).
He said that given my age 31, he will not recommend me to do the OSCAR. He said gynaes sent patients to do such tests cos typically pushed by the industry. Essentially the test subjects the patient to increased chance of false positive when actually they do not have to do so. Also, depends on what the couple wants to do if the result points to high risk of DS, do they want to do amnio which carries slight chance of miscarriage? If they do not want, then there is no point to do the test.
So, I think I will not go ahead since Dr Tan didnt tell me to do it but will discuss with hb first. But most likely he will say baby is fine, no need to do and he does not want me to worry.
