hi everyone,
Thanks for the kind words. I'm actually now on Utrogestan prescribed by Dr Fong.
Btw, how much is your gynae visits each time. I'm beginning to feel worried. At the rate this is going, I think i'm gona be spending a fortune just consulting the gynae.
My gynae consultation charges are around S$50 for a short visit, goes up to S$80 for a longer one. S$77 for blood test, S$70 for scan and another S$30 for my meds. So, I just blew S$227 this afternoon. Heart pain.
I remember Dr Loh only charging me S$56.65 for consultation with scan included. But of course, waited for 2 hours to see him lar. Dunno why my current gynae charge S$70 for u/scan. So expensive.

krispy, dr loh charges are not very exp. but have to wait very long..... i switched to TPS. they told me charges is $10 more. but I believe the waiting time is shorter....
that time I 5th week need to see gynae, went to the one near my hse. he charge me $200+ for a less than 5 min consultation, which includes a scan!!! so exp.....

Perhaps your blood test is emergency blood test hence so expensive? Coz I thought normal blood tests cost abt $25 - $35
Me also super sian at home... my dog very sian too. Just looked at me and gave me a big YAWN..
anyone still keeping their dogs with them during pregnancy?

Hi Krispy,
I dun u dun have to worry abt no symptons,maybe for its a bit early to show the symptons. My Gynae told me the worst MS is at the 3rd mth. My mum also said the same thing.
For me, I have headache as early as 5th week (and i tink stomach bloatness started from 3-4th week before i know i am pregnant), nausea on and off. When nausea is worst, i vomit water out. It affected my mood a lot cos i dun enjoy food as much as i used to be, and food used to be one of my hobby (make myself happy).
So having no symptons may also be a blessing in disguise.

I think he may be rushing the blood test although there is really no need to lor since I still have to wait for the Monday test before can compare. Is your blood test also to check Hcg levels? Maybe the Monday one will be charged differently. I'm very comfortable with him though just that I think his charges are very high.
Juliet,
How long do you have to wait for your gynae? And can you just drop by cos you feel unwell or is worried?
For mine, today was really an unexpected visit. Maybe charge more for the blood test then? I also dunno. Or maybe Friday? haha.. I'm just trying to come up with more excuses. How much do they charge for the u/scan?
Even seeing the doctor and having an ultrascan will set me back by S$120 each time. That doesn't include any other medicines or blood test etc.

Hi babycupid,
I also dun take Sashimi and cockles.. so no effect on me.
I oso dun take coffee and tea, again no effect.
The only thing i missed is coke, bec of high caffeine, i cannot drink coke
And now i have to avoid cooling stuff, such as ice-cream etc cos i am having the discharge and my mum suggest i avoid cooling stuff.

My cost per visit to gynae is also around $200 plus. Expensive and forked out by my hb.
Another costly thing is i spent around $400plus buying maternity clothes, new bras (bigger cup), new panties. My stomach become so bloated that my waistline increase a lot and my pants all cannot fit!
Do any of u feel v tired nowadays? Sometimes i will just concuss at office. Just now just secretly have a short nap at my desk.
Btw, can ask whether u all got take chinese tonics during 1st trimester? I read some say cannot take, some say can. make me so confused.

Hi babycupid,
oic, i dun take green tea bec my BP is always near low, so i dun take tea.
I really missed coke. Even if no caffeine effect, i also cannot drink coke too much cos the gas will cause my current bloatness even worst.
Now every day i will drink yakult to help digestion and make the bloatness better.
For barley, i tink u can take, but warm one. Not very cooling if it is taken warm.
Hi Rena,
Gynae says if accidentally taken it before u know u are preggy, is ok esp if it is at v early stage (maybe 1st mth), but once u know u better dun take it.

HI jules,
I tried unbutton my pants but it dun work, then it make my womb area painful n i scared harm bb, so i change to maternity pants. Top i am still wearing my normal one. Maybe bec my pants are all v tight fitting.
Bra i cannot wear even with bra extension, cos my chestline didn't increase in size but the cup size increase. makes me cannot breathe and sometimes have heart paipitation.
Gynae explain that my stomach is big now cos of bloatness (air) so doesn't mean it grow a lot over 2 mths.

Maternity clothes are so expensive. I bot 5 maternity pants, each cost $59 to $75. Originally i bot at AMK hub $75 my hb give a black face. So i only buy 1 pant. Later 2 weeks past and i cannot breathe in pants, making my MS and bloatness even worst so i give up, just bot 4 other pants at perfect mum cost $59 to $65.
Now wearing the perfect mum pants, feel so much better. It make of cotton so not so hot, plus the elastic band can adjust so it doesn't make me feel big.
If u buy maternity clothes, fit them according to yr hip and thigh size. Dun need to follow yr waistline (cos it is adjustable) but hips / thigh area not adjustable. Make sure u can sit comfortable (not stand only) and that it can last u throughout pregnancy and after pregnancy (cos figure won't go back so fast).
