if made appt, maybe wait abt 10-15min. Must also choose the best appt time. I aim for the first afternoon slot, so that morning delays won't affect me, and i'm the first patient when they re-open after lunch. Yes i think they hv Saturday clinic. U can call them to make enquiries abt the price package. Forgot liao, but it's standard price. No one says Joycelyn Wong is expensive. And she knows i'm a bleddy cheapskate mum... i buy my own multi-vits from outside, so they hv no chance to charge me mark-up rates for their folic/ calcium/ obimin etc. and i only do the absolute necessary blood tests.. i skipped Oscar.
WK Tan... doesn't accept appointment bookings right? Hv to walk in and wait?

Blessedbaby,
Jia you! The #8 slot on the list of Jan08mummies pregnant with #2/#3 compiled by steph is reserved for you!!!
Aqua/babyling,
Thanks!
Wendyg,
Dr Tan must make appointment. But still have to wait long long...... cos she has lots of patients, so usually lots of delay due to emergency operations/cases.

For the record, i drank 1 cup of kopi daily (weekdays) for both my pregnancies & my boys were *heavy* at birth hor. 3.5kg @ 37.5wk & 4.5kg @ 41 wk. And my elder boy is very FAIR.. and husband says my younger boy looks like girl.. means fair also ??

KAM CONGRATS
the thread moved so fast coz of you leh heehee
yes, i agreed with wendy, Dr Joycelyn Wong @ TMC is good. good reviews from many mummies in SMH. another one is my gynae, Dr Eunice Chua from TLC @ TMC, TLC and ACJ clinic is just beside each other. Both clinics always full house, 1 coz of Dr Wong, another coz of Dr Chua....
Dr Chua delivered my baby, and my sister's 2 babies....so 3 babies in my family under her liao...she has 5 kids (!!!) and is pro bfding and pro-having-more-babies. keep asking you to sheng, sheng, sheng!
i think both Drs must wait equally long but i enjoy my wait in the clinic most of the time...its like a rest from my hectic lifestyle. can stone there blah blah...

Pixie,
ai, of course they ask u to sheng sheng sheng... so that they can earn earn earn $$$$$$$$.
ACJ clinic many patients waiting, but no need to wait long unless emergency case holds the doc up. I'm usually in the doc room abt 10-15min after i reach. Previous doc, sofa uncomfortable, wait until ran out of magazines to read, coz she likes to chitchat to her patients la... talk talk talk.. take long time.
i think the other 2 docs in ACJ are also very good, so they hv good business.
Kam, most definitely in terms of waiting time and $$, ACJ will hv advantage. Maybe u wanna consider other factors, like age of gynae? Joycelyn Wong has 2 preschoolers i think.. so maybe she is late 30s or early 40s. She was from KKH, then came over to TMC.

Wendyg,
My gynae will give me free folic acid, obimin, etc. He also encourages lots of bed rest so if I want mc can just go to him...no questions asked! He will say "I give you 1 week enough??". He only charges me about $35-$45 for consultation and usually comes with free vits. My mum, aunts, sis and I are all his loyal supporters...just that waiting time can kill if we're going for normal pap smear. But preggy have priority so waiting time is usually 30mins to 1 hr if we make appointment.

Anglesky, pixie,
Thanks!
Yvonne,
Yup, no MS. For my #1, also no MS, very smooth pregnancy But the "symptom" not the same. When with #1, the 1st month I have very sore nipple and "enlarged" breast..... This one like feeling nothing unusual, as of now.
Wendyg,
Called ACJ clinics. Earliest apt with Dr Joycelyn Wong will be in Feb leh..... but I want to see one before I go back for CNY, so that I can confirm how many months I am at now.
Thanks!

pixiepixel,
My gynae also in TMC.
Kam,
Oooooh, feeling slightly different from #1, then your hubby still got chance of getting a daughter this time round...haha.
wendyg,
I also paiseh to take mc but it came in handy when I came down with a bad case of flu & cough. Co. doc only gave 2 days but becos medication given was so mild, it took forever to recover so my gynae "top-up" my mc for a week to let me rest and recover properly.

hor. i didn't fall sick when i was preggie... i don't remember if i did, but i dun think so. my ex-boss asked me why i'm not like other preggies who look pale & take a lot of MC, coz that's what happened to his other preggie colleagues. Everyone in the offc thought i was just getting FAT as usual.
wendyg,
my co. doesn't allow time-off to see gynae. They actually said I shouldn't take mc to see gynae also, should use annual leave. But I argued with them. Why an official mc slip issued by a registered gynae cannot be accepted? Then I challenged her to bring this issue up to her boss, the Director of HR, then she kept quiet and approved my mc. I usually asked for 0.5 day mc when I went for my routine check-up.

wendy, same
i think we both are big built, and have heavy babies, so hardly can get sick - no flu, no headaches, no cough, no fever etc (apart from my MS lah). still can run and chase bus, still can go to warehouse and check goods, still can jog, still can ML *wink*...
but hor, at the end of the day, my feet bore the brunt of the activities in the day, became elephant legs. my shoe all kena ripped apart by my water retention, hehe

I didn't hv much nausea.. just lots of gas in stomach & discomfort lor. but can still work la.
Kam

I called the clinic. They advise me to see my gynae only after CNY. Cos I tested negative in late Dec, and only tested +ve today, though my last menses was in mid-late Nov. So might be still in very early pregnancy, and might not be able to see the baby yet.
Wendyg,
Agreed. At least ACJ is cheaper and shorter waiting time. May go for Dr J W for my 1st check up, to "test" if I like her. Then I can decide from there.

Everything in moderation bah. =p
<font color="0000ff">Yvonne,</font>
I think a cup a day is fine, just not excessive bah.
<font color="0000ff">Cheryl,</font>
Maybe you need longer period to take that medication. My menses also not regular.
You should start taking folic acid if you plan to have #2. At least for 2 months in advance.
<font color="0000ff">Kam,</font>
No worries lah, you can take more photos when your #2 comes out! =p

i'm 1.6m. not tall la.

i arranged for my first appt to be Wk 8 or Wk 10, straightaway can see heartbeat. The clinic asst said VERY GOOD. Learnt my lesson from 1st pregnancy.. go too early can't see anything and having to wait for next checkup was just *torture*. And waste $$ and waste time.
