cactus,
No worry, since i'm posting this out, means i'm willing to take any comments, no matter is good or bad. And i think this is a good place for us to discuss and give opinion so tat we can think better.
For me, i had bad experience with c-sec, tats why i had been sticking to my vbac plan though they're lot of ppl around me dont encourage me at all. Even my mil is asking me go to c-sec to avoid any complications. But i still go for it. Just tat when i heard such issue, i'll need time to think and evaluate. I dont wish to make any haste decision w/o think carefully.
So, most probably now i only need to know my gynae confidence level for my vbac plan and oso emergency c-sec if needed. I even told hubby my decision in case of any urgent decision is needed during my labour.

ministers even if govt hosp will be treat better bec' they dun have to queue with us commoners and they probably get better treatment so they will get the best facilities with best staff. commoners like us who go in, is hard to say.
If want to get better facilities at KKH maybe better pay more. cos i believe different grades at KKH will probably have difference experience.
One thing abt govt hosp is tat trainee docs are often send to govt hosp first, and i understand tat trainee docs may be assign to patients at C ward for example cos they cannot choose their gynae. Then cos of the bulk of patients, the staff tend to more busy and no time to pay more attention to those who need it.
I still heard many bad experiences at KKH..
My colleague told me her experience at KKH quite bad, the sonographer not v experience and they give wrong report to her..gynae sewing stitches not as nice etc..she has experience in TMC and overall she feel TMC is better.

I once tot of sneaking in food to eat too, but my mum told me strictly to follow advice and not eat bec she seen one patient cannot wake up after c-sec cos eat before c-sect.. or someting like tat..quite scary.

yup foreign trained docs can go govt or pte hosp.
I understand from my hb's doc fren, many foreign docs are send to govt hosp, but they accept those from india etc and who cannot write legible reports and always give funny prescriptions etc. the standard of foreign docs at govt hosp can be worst off than pte hosp from wat i understand..
my hb has 3-4 doc frens, btw. so everytime i join their makan session, got a lot of such debates.

there is new advice, I think it is WHO advice, that labouring mothers should have food and drink during prolonged labour because our uterus is a muscle and muscle needs glucose to work effectively. if uterus has no glucose, cannot contract well, contractions may not help bb descend. Just a thought you may want to have.

ya, agree with you tat we really need our hubby's support and understanding for our needs. Tats why i told my hubby, he shall be my spokesman during my labour time as i just want to concentrate on my labour process and not to ask me to think (or make decision) , as i dont think i'll be able to think wisely during tat time.
SO, both of us has to had the same agreement in case of anything happen and he can speak on behalf of me.
Ellysia,
Hopefully all of us can had a smooth natural delivery!

i pay for a senior consultant at SNEC but was assigned to a foreign doc before! LOL of course i pay less for tat visit. but frankly speaking, i dun feel safe letting the foreign doc check bec' he seem so inexperience! He check my eye so long.. piang and the light shine too long until i feel so uncomfortable. But cos i dun want to make another trip and SNEC dun have so many senior around and plus senior always wait so long.
tats why i say if go govt hor, must pay more or else get less treatment i guess.

my uncle saw a Dr Ang at SNEC for his eye prob. very good, he said. senior consultant.
my grandma saw a female doctor at TTSH.. my mom scolded her loh.. she felt SNEC is better.
actually of all the govt hospitals, SNEC is best. But I udnerstand gleneagles and Mt E have good eye doctors too.

i was reading some pregnancy book and realised thre's few method of birthing. I remember there's 3 types. One is squatting, another is bend down with ur hand on the floor. And the most common one is lying on the bed with leg open up.
Not sure if we are allow to try oth birthing position if we had prolonged labour?

i tink u have gotten better treatment cos of yr hb. And previously in KKH is private suite so different.
tats why i prefer to keep my fingers cross when it come to comments on hospitals.
Actually even when i heard bad stories abt KKH, i still dun tink its tat bad.
Last time we got colleague go KKH for delivery (her hb is rich and she is an executive so nothing to do with cost), other colleagues keep saying why she go KKH lah.. why not pte is better lah etc etc.
i tink i rather reserve my comments lor.. maybe tat colleague like KKH mah. Maybe she prefer certain gynae and she attached to KKH lor.
Actually, i tink most impt factor is gynae, much more impt than the hospital. wat do u tink.

ioio,
OH i explain before in past mths posting, cos last year my right eye macula area crack and bleed, i can't see well, have to do minor op which is drug injection in the eye. I had to do it twice as it recur again after 4 mths.
No reason why the area crack but doc say its more common for people with high power.. i had 1300 degree each eyes.. scary hor. the eye aged faster for people with higher degree, such prob occur for old folks but in my case it is earlier cos my eyes ored age faster due to higher degree.

morraine, you could pee cos prob your epi was min dosage.
most mothers cannot pee at all...!
Ellysia, yes. need to remove bowels. and we need to pee constantly. If not, bb hard to go down and labour will be longer. Also, if it is c-section, cannot have full bladder if not, harder to locate the uterus, and may cut wrongly.
