jamie. actually i assume all good/popular gynea has long waiting time..
dr fong also need to wait 1-2hrs from the waiting time.. the good thing i go home/shopping first.
One thing i know abt public hospital is that the medical personell are very overwork. They have 24hrs shift, pte hospital normally has 12 hr shift. So you do expect lousier services frm the doc/nurse lor.
I has a small accident last year, cut my toe underneath the toenail. Paid $500+ to fixed it in raffles where my friend told me $80 will do in public hospital. but my friend who has similiar experience.. lost his toenail forever(never grown back) .. mine looks normal now. *1 cent money 1 cent worth* .. I lost faith in public hospital liao.

Morning Ladies...
Was bz past few days didnt log in to join u all in the conversations..
was reading the above and realised that my baby's heartbeat during last scan which was at 8 weeks 4 days was as high as 180bpm.. gynae didnt mentioned any abnormality but am worried as according to the guide which Calamari posted - FHR shld be between 149-172bpm for week 8..

Jgal: tat time was advised by the nurse .. all the jabs for baby will be included in the package already .. therefore go polyclinic will not have to pay anything ..
And of cos if *touchwood* baby needs to be admitted to there in future shld have subsidised rate lor .. (if i am not wrong)

i agree that most good/ popular doc hv long waiting time. but for KKH i believe u r not assign the same gynae for each visit. i personally prefer the same gynae throughout, & of coz better service from private hospital
kea
dont give yourself stress, remember u r not alone. we r all goin thru this pregnancy together. its always never ez to be a mum, but thats what motherhood is all abt. stay positive

Me took the same gynae thru-out .. 1st consultation cost abt $150 + scan & medi ... 2nd consultation abt $130 + scan + medi ...

jamie.. under premier scheme, you see your regular doc at the pte suite all the time. Dun have houseman following you.
Work out to be abt the same as pte doc. Only thing you save is the jabs and if you have complication lor. ha haha.. some of the top docs in singapore are still in KKH hor.
Jgal: think the premier scheme package can only sign up during the 16th week of preg ...

have you all read the article that this girl delivered at KKH and had all the complications after birth but KKH was not able to rectify it...... she had to go GlenE to have it done.... something about her placenta not being removed etc...... i read it and was so turn off by KKH!
Thanks Calamari...feel more relieved now.
Am just wondering if i am hitting the end of MS - after 3 weeks of feeling so ill, tired and no appetite....yesterday and today i cannot stop eating and dun feel like puking anymore. YAY! I really hope i can start eating normally again... i lost 2 kg in the last 3 wks.
BTW anyone know where got good neck / shoulder and head massage? I dare not massage lower than that. Also, do you ladies paint your fingernails? is it safe?

thanks for the information.
from what i know hor, delivery by senior consultant is not cheap $1200 (delivery) + $120 (post natal visit) + $620 (pkg) = $1940.
So it work out to be almost the same as Dr Ong which has all these included after 12th wk ($1900) with no limit on visit + 3D scan. Only thing saved is the ward cost + jabs + complication.

Scubababe .. to be fair to KKH. I think that's a problem with signing up pkg in a whole. Cos' everything is in from the start. So hospital/gynea will also be relentant to give you more than budget for. Gynea in public hospital probably need to "justify" for the addition operation which maybe very difficult if it just a gutz feeling. Or worst, they are too lazy to it because they are overwork already.
Pte gynea only need to answer to their own pkt and concussion. If you meet a pte doc, that thinks that you are just one of the many patient.. you also suay lor.
you know how .. mt e is famous for their guts feeling.. always kena complain for unnecessary scan and treatment etc.. hahaha .. so got pros and cons lor

Thanks Jenny for the useful information. I was still wondering where I will be able to get those information.
The thread sure to move super fast.
Cutiebb, NT scan is a scan for down syndrone, Gynae asked if i want to test, i just say ok lo. for TMC, it costs $101. Did some research, NT scan is only about 70% accuracy, it's a scan where they will be able to measure the fluid behind bb's neck. There's a range for abnormalities. They will also combine our blood test, age and weight and the scan to calculate the risk. If risk is high, you may want to consider the test through amniocentesis where they will draw your water frm your waterbag for further test. However, seldom or hardly recommended unless high risk or high age coz there is a risk of miscarriage for this test and i heard it's very painful and costly. For NT scan, i think you can know the results immediately. The actual measurement on Tues when i was 10weeks 3 days was 39.7mm so i just round it up to 40mm lo. When is your EDD?
