<font face="comic sans ms"><font color="27aafd">cactus... it's me who say reduce salt intake for myself does reduce the swelling.. think if stand / walk too much.. more pressure will be on the leg thus water retention gets worsen, when lying flat on bed, the water will spread evenly.. tt's y normally morning the swell will be gone or not so bad...</font></font>

when you are pushing hard for the bb....yr buttock will also will lift up a bit....just try to hold the bedrail when pushing lor....dats is wat i did b4 and was told by the midwife (doc assistance)...

ioio, sorry! I forgot which mommy it was. preggies have bad memory. Mine is ultra bad memory!
Danryan, I really don't think doc use forcep cos bb cnanot breathe leh.. cos until the cord is cut, bb is still getting air through cord like when bb was inside womb... I think it's more like doc fear bb in distress if birth is too long... I remember pple saying once bb cry, that means bb has taken in first breath. Until the cord is cut, bb is still liked to mommy (as long as placenta is still in the womb) and can survive that way.

hi roxy and cactus,
hospitalisation policies definately has a waiting period of 30 days. it is to deter pple from enrolling into a policy when they already know that that are ill and are about to admit to the hospital for treatment.
for AIA hospitalisation plan, you can buy the standalone plan called PINK OF HEALTH which is the most popular product in AIA. It will cost abt $17.54/mth for PLAN 1, $30.43/mth for PLAN 2 and $65.47/mth for PLAN 3. if u buy this plan together with HEALTHSHIELD (CPF INTEGRATED PLAN-payable by medisave fo parents) u will get the 20% discounted rates which ive mentioned above...if u choose to have other compnay's CPF INTEGRATED plans, u will have to pay 20% more.
CPF INTEGRATED PLAN has no waiting periods..but the application approval process is slightly longer due to the specified dates of CPF premium deduction. CPF plans has co-insurance and deductibles and hence its important to get a rider or standalone plan to cover for it.
since all hospitalisation plans has waiting periods, if u dun enrol yr child since birth and go thru that waiting period anyway, then when?
ive actually tot of a couple of chinese names for the baby..upon birth, we will pick the most suitable one and register the baby name in the hospital before discharge. All in the name of buying hospitalisation protection IMMEDIATELY.
hope my info helps!
hi organiser of gathering.
im keen to come along for the merchant court dinner..can add me in please??

thanks for the info, tinyfeet. I don't think I'll be getting pink of health. just need basic H&S coverage but I want complete coverage from the very 1st dollar without any limits. I think so far, only Great Eastern and Prudential have this. NTUC only have partial coverage. I forget about Aviva. think Aviva has no cash rider and only have the base plan.
hi cactus,
guess u ve misunderstood...PINK OF HEALTH covers ffrom the very first dollar, regardless which ward u stsy in.
PLAN 1 hospital reimbursement covers up to $2000
PLAN 2 hospital reimbursement covers up to $3000
PLAN 3 hospital reimbursement covers up to $6000
so depending on the CPF integrated scheme u go under (usually for single bedded is 20% co-insurance and $3000 deductible) u may choose the plan accordingly to cover for it.
on top of that, PINK OF HEALTH is also claimable for PRE and POST hospitalisation services. eg, if u see a GP or did an xray with consultation charges from the doctor, u can claim up to $1000 for a PLAN 2. there is A&E accident coverage and day surgry as well.
on top of that, u will get a daily hospital income benefit of $100 per day. say if im hospitalisaed due to an illness in hospital, i will get $400 in cash.
if 4 days in hospital due to accident, i get $1200 in cash on top of all the medical bills that was being charged up to $3000(medical bills) for a PLAN 2.

Hi all,
Update: I gave birth aledi.. on 2nd May 2008 (fri)..
I was actaully allowed to go home on labour day but doc's advice was to stay for a few more days jus to be safe.. I was quite upset.. But luckily i didnt go home..
Cos on labour day night i started experiencing contractions but i tried to tahan.. At 6am with contractions at 5min apart, i couldn't take it anymore.
Doc was summoned and did a check on me and found that i had dilated 5-6cm and she said that she could ffel the baby's legs too. She got a shock and immediately called for emergency c-section op cos baby is breech.
I was prepared for c-section ard 7am, told the doc that i wanted GA (complete sleep but not encouraged by doc, i m too scare so i insisted). Hubby told me baby was delivered at 759am on 2nd May 2008 (Fri) at 1.8kg at KKH (at 34 week). I only came out of the op theatre at 10 plus ba..
I was discharged yesterday (3 days after the op) but baby still has to stay in special care nursery (a lower level than NICU) and wait till she is 2kg then she can go home with us. But overall she is ok with her condition quite stabilised. Baby doc said that baby should be able to go home in 1-2 weeks time.
Right now i'm visiting baby every evening cos i'm breastfeeding so will bring her the milk every day. Then at the same time can see her too. She looks so tiny.. sigh..

Thanks for explaining, tinyfeet.
I think I'll need to check it up also! The only thing I'm abit uneasy about is the limit... covers up to..
Cos at least, for NTUC (i'm under the old plan where there is a cash rider without limit). I have pre and post hospitliasation coverage also under the base policy. I just pay extra in cash to cover from the first dollar (co insurance and deductible). BUt NTUC has discontinued this cash rider, instead having a partial rider (assist rider) . so I'm looking at Great Eastern and Prudential.
What is good about AIA is the cash benefit. It doesnt come with NTUC H&S.. need to attach a separate rider to that. But I think Prudential is better than NTUC and maybe AIA.. cos it allows a parent to stay in hospital FOC with child if child is warded... that's importantt to me.

i already did a pre admission.
there is a rumour that the maternity ward in glenE will increase in pricing as they the maternity wards are renovating on the 6th floor and it will be opened by the time i deliver in june or july.
haha..shld be from reliable source coz a couple of doctors from GlenE told me the same thing when i see them to do claims for my clients. And they say that no harm doing a pre admission.

cactus,
During the pre-natal class, instructor say if bb come out and if face is blue, not v good. I can't remember why not good.
Anyway my mum said she had prob in pushing me out tat time, and end up i have purple face when come out.
Felicia,
My colleagues who gave birth tend to slim back in time by 6-8months, those who breastfeed.

Ellysia, maybe if you are concerned about lack of oxygen when bb is born, you can share your concerns with you your doctor. cos I know some doctors are not too keen to use forceps/vacumm too early unless bb is in distress. but if it is true that bb cannot breathe if too long in the pushng stage, then it's best that bb be taken out as quickly as possible.
