hello mummies,
was asking my sis who has 2 children bt PD. she mentioned tt no need to find a PD to do normal checkup for the bb.. cos each visit to the PD cost bt $70 as they are specialised.. unless got any prob with the bb (Touchwood) of cos!
Else she advised for those normal jabs, can visit polyclinic will do... she is those v v particular person.. so if she said.. normal poly doc will do, i think shld b much of a prob in seeing them...

belle, yup, but polyclinics waiting time can be very long wor, another alternative is to go to your GP, they are definitely cheaper than PDs. I will prob go to my GP to get get the jab or normal checkup. Unless there is complications, i will go to PD.

Linda I can only find Angelins Baby & Child Clinic opp Marsiling mrt. Also dunno gd anot.. woodlands like got quite a few.
Think I'll bring my bb to polyclinics for jabs. My cols say nowadays for bb.. the q is much faster. And just opp my mum's place is woodlands poly liao.. super near. Bb sick then I'll bring to PD ba. GP also do routine checkups for bb? Do we need to bring bb for any routine checkups? I'm v blur also...

oh ya, bluelily, i rem the wrong mrt station, that shld be the one i'm talking abt, heard that pd is nt bad but i nt too sure.
think polyclinic, either i will go woodlands or yishun one..
think polyclinic, either i will go woodlands or yishun one..
mummies, i also feel polyclinic can do the routine check and those jabs for bbs, my #1 jabs all done @ polyclinic, yes, they have a separate corner for babies, my normal waiting time is not long, only abt 30mins, dun go on monday or weekends. can be quite fast, i'll go to the Yishun one. and also b'cos all jabs are free if taken @ polyclinic unless u opt for those 5-in-1 or 6-in-1!
i'll take my bb to PD if she's sick, once she pass the 18mth mark, she goes to our GP oredi, so far ok. yes, PD very ex & i find wat they told me is the same as wat our GP told us, so not much difference lor!
bluelily, u can try Baby Bear near Admiralty MRT, the PD is a visiting consultant to KKH as well, his clinic always pack with children too!
as for the PD to check after u deliver, i didn't get one for my #1, cos KKH do have PD to check on our newborns, so no need to specially ask for one to check lor, tat's wat i feel lah.

mama ash, thanks for the info!! hehee, so it's correct that there is really a baby clinic over at admiralty mrt, hehe!
ya, i don feel it's necessary to bring bb to PD unless it is necessary.
In TMC, we can choose the PD we prefer or the gynae will recommend.

hey mommies...
I asked a question before on how to sterilise the pump if we were to bring it with us to the hospital. Thank you to those who responded (sorry, but I can't remember who responded and the archived threads are missing...).
Just wanted to find out a bit more...one of you mentioned using the Lock & Lock container and sterilizing tablets. How big a container do you normally use? (Some are really big). Where to get those sterilizing tablets?
Thanks!

CSI_Fan, u can get those sterilizing tablets from OG, pharmacies, or any retail shops selling baby stuffs. And look @ the instructions on the box, see how much water they say to place the tablet in, if they say 1.5L of water for 1 tablet, then u get those 1.5L lock & lock container or bigger, so can put yr pump & milk bottles inside lor. but muz remember when u put in the bottles/pump, muz remember to immerse everything in the water, try to remove all the bubbles. 
hope it helps!

Yup, we can bring the pump to simulate ss, but think it will only be in droplet form, thus no need to bring too many bottles...
this time round, my hosp bag will be super light liao, no longer bringing pumps, cardigan, pads and pampers...kk will be providing.....just need to rem to bring bb's home going clothes...

bbtree, rem to update us, jia you jia you!!
bbtree, rem to update us, jia you jia you!!
steffi, true, 1st few days our supply is very pathetic lor! hahaha... i remember latching on my gal for like the 1st 2 weeks, expressing on after tat when i feel engorgement. no, i didn't bring my pump to the hospital, the reason u bring there is for the lactation consultant to show u how to express lor or to stimulate supply only.
And 1st time mum do take note, yr milk initially will be yellow in color, dun panick ok, these are colostrum which are very good for yr baby. i got a shock when i first express milk in my confinement! hahaha... tot it's due to the food i eat, but no it's the initial color of the milk... it'll take some time for yr milk to be pure white color hor!
CSI, dun get too big container, else very hard for u to know how much water u had filled up the container with... then the sterilised water will be very diluted liao... u juz bring the bottle/pump accessories tat u need to sterilized when u go buy the container, make sure it fits in can liao...
yes, my bag also super light cos am @ KKH also! hahaha.. tat's y i dunno y some mummies pack so many things in their bag! hahaha... i only bring 1 set of bb clothes & 1 set of my for discharge purpose. we'll be wearing KKH gowns, so no need to bring xtras! i believe they also provide 1 pack of disposable panties for us, so no need to bring also! i find the bag we bring over is used to bring back the things only! hahaha... discharge time will have lots of things for us to bring back! haha...

Cookiemz, Congrats! Wow, your threshold of pain must be very high. Do share with us your birth story and baby photo soon.
Linda, I know how you feel. i'm now scared to do too much, like can't go out and shop anymore so I'm stuck at home apart from dinners out w friends and family. But I don't think it'll be so sudden until end up giving birth at home right? I think it'll still be a couple more hours of contractions before we actually go into active labour phase.

Hi Linda,
My Cordlife sales person was telling me about someone she had just met who gave birth in the car! I was like "huh???? I thot that only happens in movies!!!" Shucks, a bit worried now coz I stay very very far from the hospital. I was 2cm dilated yesterday. Sekali I continue dilating without knowing.

steffi,
ya, when baby moves position , it's almost like jerking the whole tummy. but these few days he has been quiet quiet, probably facing my backside. I have some problem sleeping, just refuse to fall asleep sometimes. but i can sleep thruout the nite once i fall asleep. but i'd wake up at 5plus 6 for the loo. at times, my fibroid spasms would wake me up too.. very stinging sharp spasm... so quite leceh la.
