dun mention.. kome...
Kome,
The mummy u looking for, is it me???
1st consultation for my gynae is about $60+...subsequent consultation is $36+.
Yes, all my ultrasound scans are free and doctor will return a print for u.
If he forgets, you can request...keke...cos he forgot once to print for me.
He is Dr. A.L.Lim and his clinic is at TMC Level 5. Tel: 6255-3333
You will need to call to take a Queue number, and the counter ladies will advise approx. what time
to go. If you don't call, be prepared to wait up to 5/6 hours. Even with appt made, I have waited >3 hours before.
That was because Doctor has to go for last min Delivery etc.
Average waiting time with appt usually is less than 1 hour nowadays though.
(After I finished typing, i realised Princess_in_dreamland has replied...Hahahaha, but i have typed out in
notepad liao. Hope it helps!) Opening hours is 10.00am to 6.00pm weekdays, Saturdays is supposed to be half days til
1pm...but usually they have to OT.

My mum got no stretch mark at all even though she did not applied any cream. Last time they do not know abt all this prevention thing. For me i got white ones, as they are quite afew so will be visible. Worse still i gt the vericose vein or spider veins (not too sure) at my inner thight also. Haiz......felt so sad.

Kome,
Give them a call and ask, the counter girls will explain to you the charges in detail. I heard alot ppl always call and ask.
Sometimes I quite enjoy waiting there, and seeing all the preggies...Big tum tum, small tum tum, the clothes they wear, their weight (the weighing scale is outside and we can see the weight),the impatient hubbies' faces, the busy hubbies whose phones keep ringing..(like my hubby when he is there)...some hubbies bring PSP or other handheld games to play, and even became so obsessed they felt frustrated to go into the room when it's their turn to see doctor..alll very funny de...kekekeke

Kome,
I have referred many ppl over, and I have not heard any complaints on the waiting time. I think it's becos I have pre-empt them about it liao. (So maybe don't be scared off by what we mentioned, we mentioned the worst, so u won't feel it too bad if you have a chance to go) Until now, I still have my friends who keep calling me to get the gynae's number for their friends as they also referred. I think I could be earning lots money if doctor works like MLM...kekekekeke

Kome,
Means You will be visiting both gynaes at the same time ah? Like dat is extra costs leh. If you request U/S with ur current gynae??? What is the additional cost like? Actually, I'm sure if you let the gynae know your purpose is for the scans only, he will be ok with it also.

Kome,
I heard it's irreversible.
For Varicose Veins, my Cousins keep reminding me not to scratch my legs as it will aggrevate the veins. To always keep remembering to lift my both feet up and not to stand too long or walk too much.
For Stretch Marks, think the creams can only prevent abit and lighten it. But if we got it, it will be forever...i saw my MIL ones...
My mum believe in watever scars to use Hazeline Snow with...It works for her, especially her operation scars on her neck (She had Thyroid CA which she needs to operate out), now it's totally invisible...Amazing, and doctors thought she went for plastic surgery...

Re: stretch marks
Anyone want to see my stretchmarks? i can post if u r curious...not nice la
hopefully Clarins oil can help lighten existing marks & prevent new ones from developing. Another problem during pregnancy is skin pigmentation (around neck/arm-pit/legs) but lucky i dun really have this problem.

Kome,
Thanks for updating the chart, babe! I checked the price for the Natal Care Plus 30s to get a precise picture of what i paid --- it came up to $30 including GST. Which is $9 cheaper than what you quoted. Wonder why it's cheaper at KKH.
Steph,
I can imagine your excitement over the detailed scan! I was soooooo excited over the whole thing that I was completely exhausted after the ordeal and when I finally got home at 8pm, I slept like a baby till the next morning. I didn't know excitement can be THAT tiring! Hahaha..Anyways all the best for Friday. What are you hoping for, boy or girl?

Steph,
Thanks for the link to the Shettles method!
SG and Fairymoss,
Actually I started planning at this start of this year. So I researched all I could, bought a basal thermometer and ovulation detection strips, charted my temperature religiously EVERY morning at the SAME time. Signed up with Fertility Friend so that my menstrual cycle could be monitored and that way I could pin-point my ovulation. So I start charting in Feb and once I knew my menstrual pattern and my precise ovulation day, I asked hubby to attack on the day of my ovulation in June.
So in other words, I hit jackpot on the day I tried. After 4 mths have planning.
The logic is to have the male sperms up and waiting just when the egg pops out so that the male sperms will be the first to penetrate the egg.
To have a girl, you need to have sex a few days before ovulation, cos apparently though the male sperms are faster swimmers, it's the female sperms that survive over a longer period of time. Logic being, when you ovulate, it will only be the female ones waiting for the egg after males have KOed!

wintertime - that was one idea i thought it'll be good too...but my gynae is v strict one...won't give hospitalisation leave unless stay at least one day in the hospital (that was wat happened to me when i had spotting), but i refused to stay in hospital cos i had bad MS so i know i can't tahan staying there with the hospital smell and all...home more comfy ma...

Joyce,
I did try to keep to an alkaline diet but I didn't do too well in that area. I guess the accurate timing worked best for me.

promeganate, i did the same as u... i did basel temp charting and opk tracking also.. manage to strike after 4 months too.. boy or gal no difference.. i hope ot have bb gal next child.
pinksorbet, hmm.. really har, so strict.. my gf was given hospitalisation leave for 2 wks and she only need to stay a home... i intending to do tt leh.. wonder if my gynae allows..
aiyo, i was talking to my MIL jus now, almost had a little disagreement.. due to the fact tt my pil and my parents can't take care of my little boy, i have only 2 options out.. infant care or nanny.. I don't like maid and I can't simply quit and take care of bb thou i would very much love too..
I scared infant care will have lots of virus and germs so i was playing with the idea of getting a nanny.. but my mil think otherwise, she persuade me to put bb in infant care. anyway, i did check on a nearest infant care.. after govt subsidy, i still have to pay 900.. so expensive.. even i get a maid, won't cost tt much...
hope this is not beginning of the disagreement.. i hope she can give me the option to choose wat's best for my boy.

Your infant care is expensive. I went to check on the infantcare near my house also, coz intend to put my little boy in infant. Mine only charges $250 after govt subsidy. They might increase the price abt another $50-$100 next year, add up also at most only $350. I now temp staying with my mum and bros, so got no space for maid to sleep and not convienent also with so many guys in the house.
Re: Hospital Leave
Now than i know can do this. Mmmmm......maybe i should try also, but later if my boss ask why i know i gt hospital leave and what should i reply her?

Kome, wah.. so cheap.. ur infant care also in amk right? tell me where leh? i go do research.. I thinking of putting into infant care for 2 months first, if bb keep falling sick, then i will find a nanny.. Actually hor,i would prefer infant care to nanny cos infant care the care giver are educated and bb will tend to be more sociable.. will be able to learn faster n more independent.. it's the virus tt i m afriad of.
Wintertime
My infant care is at serangoon north, think abit out of your way unless you don't mind drive to there. Takes abt less than 15mins drive from AMK. I just walk in and asked so don't know the name. Will check and let you know tomorrow.
My hb prefer infant care while i prefer nanny at first. Same worried as you, scare of the virus only. What my hb said was right lor, their timing and off day is fix, while nanny can suddenly said cannot look after need to take urgent leave etc and some nanny will tend to pamper the child. Heehee.....esp my mum & dad. They dote on every child that she look after last time
