me me, during my first preggie, I donate my child's cord blood to SG cord blood bank. during my 2nd or third trimster, I just walked to the office, press the bell (they forbid ppls gg in so they locked office) and ask them I wanted to donate. then a lady asked me to fill up the form and then tell me the procedures etc. I did ask if my frenz delivered in other hospital how. she told me that just call them, when my frenz delivered, they will send ppls to go and collect the donation.
if it is suitable why not, I just donate cos I find that it is a waste to throw away like that. it is also hassle free. they only draw yr blood before birth and then drain the cordblood fr the placenta or whatever issue. I was too tired to see. some even take their placenta to make into powder. one actress even bring home, wash and cook.in fact, the placenta very nutrients. oops, the sight of placenta already made me faintz liao. can't imagine got to eat....
heard that the malay even buried their placenta.

Dear all
Yesterday went for my second visit with Dr S C Chew. Bill came up to be S$214. S$70 for consultaion, S$140 for scan, folic acid S$4. We were given a instant pic of the scan as well as a cd with several pics of the scan and a few second video clip. However, when bb waved at us it was not captured in the video... BB is 2 days bigger, supposed to be 10 weeks 2 days yesterday. 3.57cm long. Growing well. Doc told me to continue taking duphaston for one more week as there still blood clot in my womb. Hubby ks, told me to do oscar scan at tmc which cost S$280 at NUH cot S$180 i think... He said NUH queue is crazy and far so he opted tmc.. Going to the doc on 20/09/08 at 8am then rush to tmc to try for their first appt too.
We were so happy to see our bb waving at us.. so sweeeeeeeeeeet...

same lor. i have to be there at 7.50am too. and hubby might not be able to join me... i wont be driving. guess i will be taking cab. cos i get gan jiong when driving and esp rushing so not safe for me and the bb.
I did not have spotting.
Everytime i draw at least $300-S$500 just in case.
I dont think other clinics provide cd for patient right?

Kome,
Congrate! Everything is all right. Your baby same size as mine, when I went for my last visit at 11 wks 6days. Also 5.9cm. Now my appetite is better, how about yours?
Guest,
So your gynae is not from TMC ah? I will be visiting my gynae on 20 Sept too by then I will be almost 16 weeks. What I heard is SGH cost $180+ for OSCAR scan, dont know about NUH.
TMC if you're going to deliver there than you apply for FBI/SBI card than the OSCAR scan is $280 after the 10% off.

Guest,
I think there are not many clinics that provide the CD cos the Gynae needs to have a 3D/4D ultrasound equipment.
but it comes with a high fee.
anyway, our thinking is that as long as Dr Chew is pro and we feel safe with him, i am willing to pay lah.
for #1, i paid a total of $3500 for all the visits, supplements, blood tests and other necessary tests leh.
If your hubby is not going with you, then maybe ask your mum or sis along lor.
i asked my mum to accompany me to OSCAR for my #1.

Blood clot is those old blood that did not purge out during last menses . Me too have but getting smaller since my last visit .
My gynea also using hi-end 4D scan machine . Last time my package starts at 12 weeks and with normal delivery will be $1.4k which is in 2002 If with assisted delivery , I top up $300 and C-sect another $600. Only blood test and medicine I need to pay separately . When I had no. 2 in 2005 he charge me same price since it's no. 2 but this time round don't know will he charge me the same . I rememebered that my SIL seeing my gynea who delivered last year , her package is $1.8k .

I rememebered that my SIL seeing my gynea who delivered last year , her package is $1.8k .
Actually before i seen my existing gynea Dr Douglas Ong for my 1st preg , I seen another gynea recommended by my colleague also in Mt E cannot remember the name , but can remember his clinic only accept cash and cheque , we not comfortable with him as he given me all the -ve comments on the first visit of scanning , he told me mine don't look like preg and request that I take blood test to confirm preg , then say even confirm preg , no good as miscarriage risk is high as the egg is at the low side etc etc ... cause me to cry and so upset about it . Not only that , as first time mummy and daddy , we wanted to ask more but he was like chasing us out and tell us take blood test then talk etc , that consultation cost $250 for less than 5 mins scan and talk .. So in the end after the blood test result out , I went to Dr Douglas Ong instead who is recommended by my SIL's friend and was so comfortable with him as he really listen to your question and doubts and he never rush thru the appt even though there is a Q outside . He will answer all your doubts before seeing the next patient . For my first visit , I did not tell him that I seen another gynea before him as I want to see what is his diagnosis , he told me yes confirm preg and see him in another 1 week , then I ask him is my preg high miscarriage risk or the egg at the low side , then he told me no problem , the egg will move up soon don't worry etc . So first time mummies , the most impt thing about gynea is whether u are comfortable with him/her and $$ is secondary issue .

My sis spent abt the same cost as you. On the screen we can see 4D and pic print out will be in 3D. If hubby cant make it i will get my best friend to go with me..

Morning All!
Been a while since I last posted. Quite busy with work and other things.
Anyway, still have been reading up all your posts.

Congrats, you passed your 1st trimester! Your bb size is correct according to 12w1d (5-6cm). No worries, k?
My appt is coming next wednesday, yes can't wait. It's been a long 4 weeks since I last visited my gynae. Still can't feel any bb movements yet like some of you have already. Guess I have too many layers fat on me! Haven't put on any weight either though eating plenty of good food for the bb. My mum's been very excited about the bb (been announcing to everyone) so she has already started feeding me home boiled bird's nest. But I ask her not to give me too much at this time.
I'll be signing up for Parentcraft @ TMC as well but will be starting earlier 19/10/08 (Sundays).

Guest,
actually Dr Chew has a so-called package. it only starts from week 20.
they will assume normal delivery and is about $1900 so gotto pay $900 upfront and balance pay after delivery together with hospital charges. my C-sec fees came up to total of about $2500.
so from week 20 onwards, no need to pay for scan fee but each visit still need to pay $30 for consultation, excluding supplements.
ya, was also told that the blood clot is probably due to implantation not occuring properly.

Our baby size is normal, thats what my gyane says, they're in normal size in this state, don't think is small lah. When your appetite gets better they will grow well, don't worry.

Ok, going to take train down to Tanjong Pagar for lunch. Tired of the food here at Raffles Place.
hi mommies
I had my checkup ytd too. I'm in my 11week today. BB measures about 4.38cm and gynae say BB looks healthy and is fine. Saw BB side features, fingers n toes on the ultrascan. BB is even bouncing around during the scan. The clinic book an Oscar appt for me @TMC on next friday. So can see BB again next week.
I'm still on duphaston for another week. Think it's becoz i told gynae i have cramps for the past few days.
I have yet to sign up for my FBI card, and my Oscar appt is at 8am. So early and dunno can apply the card before the test..
