ctjeng, i using king koil... not bad... =)
Hi all!
Did OSCAR (scan + blood test) today. Just wondering if anyone went to TMC and how much u paid. Cuz they charged me $432 (incld GST) and later at the gyne's clinic i paid another $92 for a blood test and urine test. No idea why. I asked the nurse and she said the charges were correct. Was surprised and wondered why since gyne said the OSCAR is $300+...
The scan was ok, had to wait a bit before continuing cuz bb moved out of position but later positioning was fine and the radiographer was so happy. But the blood test was absolutely awful, painful and traumatic. Ranks as the worse I've ever had in my life and I've had quite a few blood tests before. The nurses were confused and didn't seem to know what they were doing and what test i'm doing. 1st time it seems that they tot it was a normal blood test and tried to draw 3 tubes but i didn't have enough blood for the last tube so they asked me to wait till after the scan. When I asked for a tube, as instructed by the gyne's nurse, they were all confused and confused me too. Seemed like they dinno i was doing OSCAR. Never mind. I went back again after the scan for more blood to be drawn. But it was another person and she inserted the needle tho the vein wasn't very prominent, still ok, could tahan the slight pain. Halfway through, they changed pple and someone else came to hold the needle. I tot that was a bit weird. This other person pushed the needle even deeper and that was when it really hurt big time. I actually teared, 1st time that this has happened during a blood test. After a while, my arm was getting numb and I tot they were getting enuff blood. But when I looked when she withdrew the needle, there was not a single drop in the tube!!!! She wanted to draw from my other arm but saw the plaster from earlier and asked if I drawn blood already. So I told her abt wat happened just now. She and the receptionist looked completely blur. After a while, the recep said oh so you're the one doing the oscar and told the nurse to go ask somebody if the blood from just now was enough. Turned out that it was enough and all the pain i went through was for nothing!!!!! Just because they screwed up!!! So upset. My mom was waiting for me and quite shocked to see me almost in tears! I tot they would know what test I'm doing since everything shld be written on the form they had in front of them!!! So ridiculous!

Wow so many posts.. sorry if i din reply to anyone... lost already... lol
giggler I'm living on ntu campus. Thinking of pre-natal yoga cuz didn't find any pre-natal pilates so far. Not sure where I would do it, maybe near work at Tg Pagar or near home, depending on the timing of the classes. Have you found any in Boon Lay? Most of those I found were in town.
I just bought Elancyl yesterday at Robinsons, special offer 2 for $40+, the salesgirl said it's a promo, buy 1 get 1 free.
Also got the clarins oil cuz robinsons giving extra 10% discount, so quite worth it... din think i would spend so much... but can't resist a gd deal leh.. lol
mercs i dunno wat really happened btwn my aunt and grandma. My mom ask my uncle if she could help meditate but he ignored her. It's hard for me to believe that my grandma would have said or done anything mean cuz it's not her character. My guess is that it might have been some off hand remarks that my aunt took offence at. But anyway, it's over now, so no point thinking abt it.
kellie i dun understand why family must squabble over things like that. If money is tight, and help is needed for others to chip in, then just be honest and say so. Maybe it's a chinese thing, want to save face. I hope won't have this kind of issue with my sis and parents later on.
my ex-boss' wife had a malay lady going to their place to massage. Dunno if that's the reason why she din have trouble losing all that weight. They r Eurasians so I guess they dun really follow Chinese confinement customs.
janjan yah no clothes to wear is depressing, i've been having wardrobe crisis nearly everyday!! Bought a pair of pants that can be converted into shorts from bellasima, on 50% sale, only $36. Maybe u can check it out. Cutting is a little big so i got the S instead of M which I usually wear.
cjteng did u quit ur job when u found out you're preggers?
miyuki u can get the clarins oil ard $60+ at people's park. Think shld last for quite some time as dun need to use a lot. Body shop's one is $50+ but i din like the smell and tot brand wise, might as well pay a little bit more for something more reputable.
ni i know some gals married to swedish guys, they say it's 2 yrs paid leave - maternity or paternity, up to the parents to decide who wants to stay home.
It'll be great if SG implements something similar and improve / subsidise childcare facilities. I just hope the policy wouldn't make employers even more discriminating. I was discrimnated against just b4 i got married liao, when i went for interview.
ange i think most impt for strollers is light and easily folded, esp w 1 hand, since might be carrying bb in the other. Just found out that we might be assigned an appt on 3rd flr, no lift. Wah lau... siong man... dun think i can lift a pram + bb. Avg weight of pram is 7-8kg... newborn abt 3kg... total 11kg.. really can build biceps ah!
Hmmm.. durians... usually i dun eat much, prefer durian cakes and puffs to the actual fruit. Been wanting to buy Goodwood puffs and cakes but nebbe go there so far. But recently keep smelling it, also feel like eating. Maybe cho my mom go with me cuz my hubby can't stand them.

janjan16 (janjan16) ya, me also wish to visit my gynae a.s.a.p, cos i m enjoy seeing my little one growing fast... My next visit will be Aug 2 sat.. and I can see baby gene.. hehehe cant wait for the time to come. Wish my baby dun shy.. if not have to wait for another one more visit..
xpink 5 tubes??!! Why so much? No wonder u faint lah... Actually I dun mind fainting just now if i could, make them panic haha! Got forced by mom to get yong tau foo w seaweed for lunch since i dun have enuff blood..
cjteng i also dunno why i din scream at them. Guess too stunned, confused, in pain and trying not to cry bah.. no swelling, arm was painful and slightly numb for a while, sometimes like no strength. My hb wasn't w me, but he was quite put off by what happened, din want to listen to the end of my story. I dun need to do HIV, etc leh, cuz did them already. Hmm... really must ask doc why charges so high, feel kinda ripped off. I dun understand why they will ask what test we're doing when it's already written on the form, as if we will know... i blur like sotong just now when they were asking me, so just say oscar.
I tot u said earlier that u're not working? Erm.. a bit confused..
janjan try to find something baggy in ur wardrobe bah... then go grab something in the shops. I also been procrastinating cuz lazy to go out and i didn't really see anything that i liked. I hardly have any baggy stuff so kapo some from my sis but our taste in clothes quite diff so most of it are stuff that i would normally not buy but they fit for now and can help to save money. I'm seriously contemplating the Belly Belt, if it'll make our bottoms last till full term, quite worth it. Just procrastinating cuz dun like the idea of using a piece of cloth to cover up the opened zip area at later stage. Wat u think?
ange wats the timing of the pilates classes? was hoping to find something in raffles place/tg pagar/west areas cuz would be more convenient for me. Going to orchard will mean a longer mrt ride for me.

de_luxe, i did my OSCAR test on last sat & the charge same as u $432. The TMC nurse explained to me this was included a test when enter to 5 months. So is a package that saves a few dollars. For blood test total 3 tubes, 1 tube for OSCAR & 2 tubes are for clinic to perform HIV & the rest of test. So I also pay to the clinic $92 for the 2 tubes test.
de_luxe: how come so ex one...means lets say the included the detailed scan is total $500+?
i remember my side is $200 for the oscars then detailed scan pay another $107. the gynae charge is included in the package leh...although when i did the test, i haven sign package yet, but only charged me consultation $40 + $40 for the normal scan...thats it...
