Autum, it's best to quickly decide on one gynae then stick to that gynae. I chose Dr Woo for several reasons:
1. We are comfy with him
2. He explains all our queries and is not rushed as there is no 'next patient'
3. His antenatal and delivery packages are comprehensive
4. Clinic is convenient and very nice environment with nice nurses
5. Hospitals he deliver at are convenient
My experience with him so far is good. He does an U/S every visit (even when I was 4 weeks). When I was 4 weeks, he say can't see anything, but he will still scan to see if I have any fibroids or cyst that might complicate the pregnancy. He said it was good to know early so we can plan ahead. Turn out got nothing, except a cyst in the ovary, which he says it normal cos the cyst is the one producing hormones until the embryo has implanted into our wombs and started to provide its own hormones
There was once I saw some light bleeding, panicked and called him at 3am. He answered our call and asked us to head down to clinic immediately. No extra charge. Turn out the bleeding was due to me having constipation, nothing to do with the pregnancy
Doggy, you can try herbal teas. Take some peppermint leaves, crush and put in hot water. Sniff it if you will vomit anything you eat. It will help with MS.
Leomom, I drink Ribena for energy boost cos I can't be eating at work all the time
It realli helps to curb any uneasy feelings
Sometimes, gassy drinks help also. One mouthful and BURP!! It helps relief the bloated feeling.
Cannot eat de monte bananas cos 'cooling'. But I still eat la. I also ate pineapples. Just dun eat too much at a go
But now, I got craving for the short bananas. Dunno y, I'm normally not a banana person.
Chloe, you taking no pay leave till you deliver? My gynae say working is good cos we move around and dun become lazy. Only high risk pregnancy then need to take leave. You having twins?? Then will you be entitled to maternity benefits if you are on unpaid leave till you deliver?
Stella, mine is only 2cm at 8wks. I also thought Doggy's bb is quite huge
