sorbet, but i also realised Dr Heng's weighing machine always heavier leh comparing to our own house weighing machine..ahhahaha...me opp. with u..i gained weight very fast during my 1st & 2nd tri...norm. 3rd tri shld weigh more coz bb grows faster..tats when we need more carbo food, sikali i increase only 1kg instead of the norm. 3kg. yah the nurses all very busy. i tink there's some adjustments to the hospital charges leh..there's a new listing (blue copy) which u may wan to request from them..i was looking thru', if i happen to go for c sect in single bed, i have to fork out $3K+ after medisave which is quite siong lor..tink earlier on, they missed out the GST part so looks more reasonable...then i asked my hb if wanna re-consider take 2 bedder instead, unless i can go thru' natural birth. =) dunnoe can change later during delivery ornot, tink subject to availability ba.
re: swollen legs, u try lifting your legs up using pillow at nite..try to wear comfy shoes to lessen the swollen. as for face..i also wan to get rid of tat problem..hahah but i dunnoe hw.

pinksorbet.. not shocking lah the weight increase.. it could be the placenta and the water retention in there..
okie i list down a breakdown here.. saw this in in M&B magazine..
"Experts suggest that a healthy pregnancy weight gain is 10 to 16 kg, BUT alot depends on your pre-pregnancy weight. If you were underweight, aim to gain slightly more, and if you were overweight, a bit less..
So if you gain 12 to 13kg in total, on average, your baby will account for 3.2kg, with fat stores making up another 3.2kg. The rest goes to the placentra (500 to 900g), uterine enlargement (900g), amniotic fluid (900g), breast tissue (900g), increased blood volume (900g), as well as the fluids in your tissue (1.8kg)."

my gynae oni check BB's heartbeat by looking at the ultrascan. Dunno how he see, think as long BB's heart is beating it's fine.
I was put on a doppler while at my stay at the hospital for my pre-term labour contractions 3 weeks ago. The O&G doc oso checked BB's heartbeat via the ultrascan machine (like the one use for the FE scan - more advanced) I guess some gynaes used more sophisticated machine which can read BB's heartbeat.

I have swollen legs last night. Both my legs so swollen up and were very hard when touched. Even my feet felt swollen too. Wonder why and what causes it. Feels better after I lifted my legs high on pillows and some massaging. But it oni goes away after an hr. Do anyone experience it too?

varicose and spider veins! eh i dont think they will go away even after birth.. what i heard from pple =(
i had tons of them in my inner thigh clustered together so they looked like blue black siah..
Dont rub at it loh.. they will "float" up.. and dont walk too much..
There is this vein clinic at orchard that help to remove the veins.. so far i havent know any lotions for this..
somemore, im fair and the veins even more obvious.. pengz.

SG - the difference from my house weighing machine to that of Dr Heng's is like 3kg leh! so wierd rite?! If base on my house weighing machine, i onli gain 2kg as compared to hers 6kg lor...wah the hospital charges expensive..still gotta fork out 3k+ cash? :-O i'm taking 2-bedder lor...how come they didn't give me the new listing? we still have to ask from them?
meebaby - thanks, but a 6kg gain within jus one month is shocking...haha

Haha I remember my 1st trim I ate like dinosaur then that time no nauseous or morning sickness..enjoyed food alot which i think its more like tam jiak than any other reasons so i've gained that considerable amount of weight in a month too.. but now the increase more consistently and steadily, abt 2kgs per mth liao..
mangogal..act. its good to ask lah..coz we are paying them consultation fees leh..but norm. i will forgot wat i wan to ask..so just chop chop..go in lie on the bed and she takes measurement of bb's head, then estimate weight tats all. hahahaha sometimes wait like 1hr ++ go in 5 mins like super wasted hee...
pinksorbet, or could it be u see wrongly at Dr Heng's weighing scale? maybe nx appointment u weigh again..weigh twice if nt sure..hahaha for my case..norm. the diff. is ard 2kg...but wat to do..of coz they trust their own weighing machine, hee..coz i saw one of the nurses passed a copy to a couple (tink just conceived) then i just ask lor..then she told me only diff. is the GST part which was left out earlier in the pink copy but i brought home n compare..like gt slight adjustment to the bedder we choose. hmmm..nw i dunno want to change to 2 bedder mah leh..like $3K + abit ex rite? although i hope to go for natural..but just prepare for the most ex to set aside budget. CNY still have to give angpow..(another abt $1K is gone)...hmmm...

6kg within a month? I think there's something wrong with the weighing machine @ the clinic..heee~~~ I've been weighing myself & everyday, the weight seem to be increasing...abit worrying oso! Checkup will oni be next week so...keeping fingers crossed!!!
Visit to Gynae
It will always include an ultrascan & also to listen to the heartbeat..but never occurred to me to ask abt the rate! I assume if gynae didn't say anything, it should be alrite! Seem abit bochap, huh? =P

hmm.. stemcord is local and the banks are in Science Park I and II.. for cordlife im not sure where they store also.. but their parent company is in australia..
Maybe i didnt really check out abt cordlife cos im the type who is put off by aggressive sales oh yes they have tons of promotion haha, anyway cordlife is also more expensive cos of the high maintainence lab research and their accreditation from overseas..so adding more cost to your pocket cos they need fundings alot..so if they do not have enough fundings, not sure abt the stability of the company..
my gynae mentioned that as long have MOH accreditation here, its quite safe aldy in terms of local context..

meebaby...wah u dun have MS ah? so good..i do suffer from giddy spells /nauseous..and i have to made myself eat so that i won't feel giddy/nauseous..tats why i gained weight fast during 1st tri, then 2nd tri all the cravings come..hahah satay, roti prata, ice-cream, chocolate..etc..all the oily n unhealthy food..somemore i went for supper. haha..best! nw tink cannot eat too heavy meals..will have heart burn...acidic gastric juice will go up my throat..eee...maybe tats the reason why my weight increase in 3rd tri like lesser than 1st, 2nd tri ba. but i'm 100% sure, i'm going to put on more weight after CNY! wahahahahah

mangogal,
I have not chosen, but most prob will take 4 bedded. (auto upgrade to 2 bedded by Dr Adrian)
Will the gynae help to make the neccessary booking? cos they did not ask me during my last visit at wk29.

I think most hospitals increased their prices!! They even increased their deposits! Previously (3years agao), i oni paid $500 deposit. This time round, we paid abt $1,500!
This time round I've opted for 1-bedded bcos had a bad experience with my inconsiderate neighbour the last time! I'll be delivering at Mount Alvernia!

haha.. im neither TMC or GlenE.. Im going Mt A..
Oooh GlenE.. heard that the bill can come out as a scroll cos they charge you almost everything blah blah..
Gotta know this cos my gynae go for GlenE or Mt A.. the clinic assistants told me cos I asked them whats the difference..
Went for the hospital tour at Mt A.. ooh I love the rooms

St.. its just that its like unnecessary to pay for their extra fees loh.. thats his thoughts. In terms of service wise, maybe Cordlife better? I'm not sure. Anyway its your choice lah I'm not sure if there are cordlife supporters wait I get hantam seems like I'm promoting stemcord.. LOL.
grace, do we have to pay cash/ nets for the deposit or can we use credit card?
btw, will mummies here be using wat hospital provides u? like meebaby says..they do charge for watever u use there..and i tot they have a list to get us bring things like diapers, etc for our bb..if we use our own..then no nid to pay for those unopened stuff? hee..or just use..since they provide?

Hi mummies,
Came back from my gynae visit. Baby weight is now 1.8kg. Hee she put on 500g since my last visit. I myself put on 1kg. Think not eating fast food helps cos the last time I put on 3kg i indulged in fast food a lot.
Mangogal, I will be taking the 1 bedded at TMC.
