miffy: thanks for the link.
Hi samval, my next visit with Dr Wong is end July so I'll see her 1 more time, talk to her abt the switch 1st before deciding. I am pretty hesitant too cos i really feel comfortable with her. She was so funny to ask..."I'll probably be on leave end Dec...can or not?" I said, "Aiya is it ok if I say cannot cos I need you around my EDD" - we just laughed. Gynaes also have families so I anticipated the possibility of her taking leave. Wat to do, my family planning timing bit didn't account for major public hols!
Thanks for your sharing on Dr Khi, will hope to establish good relationships with her...sometimes gynae / mummy this kind of thing is really LUCK.
At every visit the nurses take my weight and blood pressure, not urine test. But I just signed up the package and it includes the urine tests from my next visit onwards.
Hi Jo, good luck, bounce off thoughts and concerns with your hubby..if he has no reaction...haha then right, just have him pay the bill!

suika: i agree, must find a suitable one for chinese physician. cannot anyhow grab one to see. at first i went to a jurong east one, very popular & many friends seen her oso give gd comments. but after almost 1 year with her i decided to give up. just not suitable for me.
got a friend studying TCM recommended one of her professors to me, & this is current one i'm seeing. quite ex but i think quite suitable for me.
u know the korean drama "da chang jin"? when she was learning, she made a mistake of generalising 2 different cases coz they had similar symptoms, even with her intelligence & knowledge. so scary hor?
i think chinese physician is also kind of a "luck" thing, whether u get someone who knows your body constitution instead of jumping to conclusions.
about "an tai" medicine, my mother long ago warn me not to take. i not comfortable too. all those yucky herbs that we're not familiar with. but this physician only build my health generally, she said her medicine not "an tai" but will make me stronger which will help me nourish baby better. then i also got excuse to prevent my MIL to brew any yucky herbs for me, coz see physician already can't take other herbs mah, haha.

Hi all,
I went for my OSCAR test yesterday and managed to see my baby's lil birdy. So it's a boy. If based on the chinese calender, it should be a gal gal lor. But anyway, both me and hubby are happy as long as the BB is healthy.
I paid $390+ yesterday for Oscar and blood tests plus the detailed scan supposedly to be done during 20-22 weeks. Oh, i've signed up for the SBI. So the amount tht i paid was after getting 10% discount.
I managed to engaged a CL at $2500 + 2 ang pows. Anyone knows how much to give for the ang pows?

suika: i think if we drink more water, we will pass urine more, thus will flush out the water retention from our bodies. if we don't drink enuff, then our bodies will retain water for us, resulting in water retention. how i donno how to tell if got water retention or not.
puppylove81: wow & congrats on your boi boi
puppylove81: wow & congrats on your boi boi
suika, mercsboy: ya samval is right. if drink not enough water body will retain what little there is. if drink more will flush out system together with "dirty" stuff. also will not get constipation so easily.
but there is a limit i think. maybe 8 glasses to 10 glasses a day. if drink so much still water retention then consider cut down a little bit. cut down salty food too. now go toilet often is normal lah.

samval: ur gynea told u to drink more water to reduce the chances of water retention? like that i must try drink more water from now on....
if not wrong, if our body swells up means water retention liao lor....like all of a sudden u cannot fit in ur shoes...that's a sign too

suika: yes me too avoid herb stuff unless necessary. started to see physician only after miscarriage in 2006, coz want to know my body weak in which part. all along only dare to take my nutritional immunology products coz they are foods & not herbs or medicine. but self diagnosis a bit difficult. so got professional (chinese physician) to help out. she quite impressed with my immune system too, hahaha. after i give birth will likely stop seeing her liao.
oh yes forgot to mention, for water retention, don't count coffee, tea, coke etc as "water" that u drink. coz the caffeine will actually make u lose water instead of replenishing your system.
suika: haha i don't know leh. maybe now your bladder not so cramp or hormone level adjusted so no need to go toiet so often.
suika: haha i don't know leh. maybe now your bladder not so cramp or hormone level adjusted so no need to go toiet so often.
suika: yes i heard must take a little cooling stuff but only late in 3rd trimester, otherwise baby prone to be too heaty or jaundice. also the mother might not be able to tahan 1 mth heaty confinement food if all thru preg only take heaty stuff.
i recently also too heaty coz i kay kiang. that time went korea bought ginseng powder the tour guide say not heaty but good for general health so i believed him, drink everyday wor coz almost expire already i scared wasted. then my mother & chinese physician both ask me to stop say too heaty. in the end really lor, nose bleeding & rashes.

<font color="0000ff">Trima</font> Wow how come your company insurance like dat? Then its better to deliver in S'pore than come over cause the medical expenses are really high over here and it takes forever to book an appointment. When I was back in SG and I see my gynae, I feel that they know more about asians and our lifestyles plus they pamper us! But Trima if short visits won't it be tiring on you to travel to and fro US? I hated the travelling part cause its so long! But also you might want to buy your own insurance from other companies to see if they cover you? But now that you are pregnant not sure if it is going to be expensive charges from the insurance company also...
<font color="0000ff">deluxe</font> I think can do stationary cycling (in the gym) but not mountain biking and outdoor cycling especially if you go over hills and bumps.I went Pulau Ubin to cycle before I must say some routes are pretty tiring!
<font color="0000ff">sperzz</font> I also always get thirsty all the time.
<font color="0000ff">samval</font> My gynae advise me to drink sips of water everytime throughout the day instead of gulping down a glass or half a glass and I find that it helps with the vomitting and keeps me well hydrated! Samval, water retention very easy, you just use a finger and press gently into your skin it should be elastic enough and not create any dent in your skin. Water retention skin takes a while to "spring" back to after being pressed. Most of the time water retention can be seen on your feet, when you stand for too long.
<font color="0000ff">puppylove81</font> Congrats!!! When the sonographer told me its a Boy I dunnoe why my heart just skip and I teared! Very happy to know ya?!
<font color="0000ff">suika</font> Me also going to the toilet less now! Cause as you approach the 2nd trimester, your uterus grown and move upwards away from pressing unto your bladder unlike in your first trimester and the last! So be happy!
Ladies, try not to take too much tom yam soup and that sort of stuff, baby may come out jaundice wor!

samval/deluxe - thanks. ystdy the flu got so bad that i got headache. and then i even puked out the precious porridge that took me alot of effort to get into my tummy. then after that i puked again, this time, its the yellow juices. eew!! and i flip her flip there just cannot sleep. felt really awful.
everytime i go for my check up, the nurse will make me do a protein test. so that day i went, did the test, and found that the test stick changed colour. then they did a blood test and found out that i am diabetic. i wasn't diabetic or high blood before pregnancy. thank god doc says this is temporary. after delivery will be gone.
i really dread food now. for one, i am getting bad ms all the time and got no appetite, for two, i really wonder wat i can eat that contains no sugar and salt. hai...
Sperzz - I always have a bottle of water beside me wherever i go, even when i'm home. usually i will have to refill my bottle at elast 3-4 times if i'm alone at home. eversince preggy i also have this bottle with me at night. i will sip sip whenever i wake up to pee. cos i feel very thirsty and 'dehydrated' all the time. so at night also must drink water.
I feel so awful!! gosh.. how am i gg to get thru another day???
