Dear Tan(80lynn),
I guess no one is able to give you good advice here, I think, when you have decided to pen this here, you have already an ans. All you need is supporters, and, I think the best supporters are your family members. Go talk to them.. tell them your thinking and ask for opinions.
Good luck, best wishes.

Hi all,
Talking abt gynae consultation. Mine is usually very fast & waiting time is short.. says 10mins, unless he's engaged with birth. In situation like this, the nurse will usually call to inform beforehand. I think my doc has very good time management.
This time round, mine will not have any package and will base on per consultation charge which is $40 per visit, scaning is per charge and he will not do on every visit (only when required). Even without ultrasound, he's still very accurate as to the size of the bb, by just using measuring tape (from ds experience).
I went to search for my 2 elder kids ultrasound pix & noticed that my boy was actually born on the edd stated. Which means, this doc is really very acurate!!

Hi MTBs,
Good afternoon. I just saw my gynae in the morning. My baby is 2 cm long at 8.5 weeks and my next appointment will be 3 weeks later. Very happy that my baby is growing well and looking forward to 3 weeks later.
My hubby and I haven't share the news with anyone yet cause we were thinking of sharing after baby stabilise at 3 months, but my gynae says go ahead and share. So we may tell our immediate family first.

RC_Cola, your baby girl so cute.
Re: gynae fee
My gynae charge additional $1,500 for normal delivery, additional $2,000 for assisted delivery and additional $2,500 for Caesarean on top of the package price of $1,500 (which excludes supplements and some of the tests).
The fees seems quite expensive compared to some of the MTBs here, but my aunt recommended him after she gave birth and we do not know of any other gynae, so decided to go to him.
Today my gynae prescribe me Neurogain DHA supplement (30 tablets) which cost me $38.52. The Mfg date is March 07 and Exp date is Feb 2010.
During my previous visit (2 weeks ago), my gynae prescribe me OBIMIN film tablet (100 tablets) for $19.26. The Mfg date is Feb 07 and Exp date is Feb 09. I was abit concerned as the Exp date of Feb 09 is only about 5 months away so I ask the gynae about it. But he reassured me, saying that I will finish before the expiry date and anyway, normally when they indicate Feb 09, it can still be consumed 6 months later ie. Aug 09. So I will continue to take the multi vits I bought from my gynae.
Re: clothing & weight gain
My clothing has also become tighter, especially my pants. I need to get some work pants soon, if not, I won't have anything to wear to work soon. I gained 1.7kg within 1 month which is quite alot. Hopefully my weight gain will stabilise, if not, I have to get new clothes every few weeks. Haiz.
Re: Baby sitter
My MIL has offered to help to look after our baby years back, don't know whether it still stand now. We have not let anyone know about my preganacy, so will check with her about babysitting after we let her know.
Re: food
Piggy, it is a good idea to meet for Jap dinner after our 1st tri.
I don't have much appetite, but is always hungry. I manage to have 3 meals (though they don't taste as delicious as they used to be) and lots of snacks in between (that explain my weight gain.

Hi Piggy_Cow,
I would say childcare line requires you to get involved physically and mentally. So during your attachment, it could be physically draining for you tho...ermm..depends on individual lah.
I would say handling daily routine like shower and settling younger kids into the centre will tired you out..haha...Other than that, I think it is ok.
Some students doing attachment need not settle the daily routine care.
I can feel the strain of being pregnant and studying now. Hard to focus during lectures for the past few weeks coz I am always sleepy. Now still got to chiong assignment deadlines and tests....ZzzzzzZzzz.. Just got to hold on! I know I can do it.
I think at this point of time,positive thinking is very impt!

Hi everyone! Hope that everyone's enjoying their weekend!
I went for my checkup yesterday! Can see sac (waterbag?) and bb and bb's heartbeat. It measures 0.61cm at the moment and doc said everything normal. He said that my delivery date should be early May but never give details. Also did protein and sugar test and everything normal.
Regarding my package, it includes the scan and the scan photos. My gynae gave me a copy of my scan in an envelope. The things not included are test for down syndrome, detailed scan at 20 weeks, pills for abnormal situations (eg. high blood pressure and hormones pills). Quite comprehensive. Delivery charges is $850 for normal delivery without epi. The rest i can't remember.
Seems like a lot of teochew mummies here! I'm teochew too! And i like jap food too!
Congrats to all the new mummies!

Hi SK, if calculate from my LMP, i'm in my 7th week but gynae said bb looks like 5-6weeks (which i think he based on conception). my bb almost same size as urs at the moment.
my gynae charges quite reasonably ($588.50 including GST) for all the checkups and he has a clinic in CCK. He delivers at all private hospitals but mostly at TMC. U can check up on the Dr. Adrian Woodworth thread.
Ah bunny, i feel like eating titbits too! but i try to limit myself to healthier nuts with lower salt content.
Ladies, my next appointment is 2 weeks later.. so excited!

Tiny M - Think our bb's grwoth bit slow.....but steady. Hehe. For mine, if calculate by LMP. it's 9th week. And it's only 6th. Dr Adrian's charges is based when u visited his pte clinic at TMC or CCK? I passed by TMC ytd when I was heading home after KKH's visit, then realised it looks rather small from outside and carpark also small. Not sure if it's convenient to go there for delivery not.
oh dear oh dear.... so much posts to read!!!
thanks for the suggestion piggy_cow! will really like to meet up with all of you to catch up face to face... it'll be so much easier and more bonding can be done!! YEAH!! BAND OF MUMMYHOOD!!
wrgt maternity clothes:
u ladies can try renting clothes from MAternity Exchange. I've been renting from my 1st pregnancy and really enjoy it cos its cheaper and the clothes are nice. Whenever i have a special occasion to attend, I rent new clothes from them.
wrgt maternity package:
my gynae charges 600 for normal and 1200 for C-section. I'm actually on package already and every visit to the gynae will include a detailed 3d scan and doppler heartbeat. for my past 2 deliveries, total is not more than 2.5k after c section.
hope to really meet up with all of you soon!

piggy_cow:
it will be quite difficult to study and be pregnant at the same time as well as when you are attached for practicum. however, nothing is impossible. the 1st thing you should tell your mentor when u go for practicum is how long u are into your pregnancy and how you wish to learn and practise as much as possible in the meantime. assure her that you are giving your best shot and that should there be any feedback, it will be gd to discuss with you first before writing it down in your report. Assure her also that cos you are already a mummy, you will treat the students well with much responsibility.
just my 2 cents worth cos I'm also a teacher and I do meet and train many NIE cadet teachers. There was one who really impressed me cos it was near her due date but she insisted on teaching for at least 2 days for me to grade her. Sincerity and responsibility is the most important!

JRT - thanks for your advice. I too hope that everything will go smoothly..
andrina_gina - will definitely discuss with my mentor cos by the time i do my practicum, i shd be 7-8mths liao and i also do not want my pregnancy to affect my performance. actually when i first told the sch that i discovered that i was preggy, they say they need to discuss whether to take me or not cos they don't want me to delay the progress of the class but i assured them that my 1st pregnancy was quite smooth so this shd be fine. they called me back 1 week before to ask me to attend but can hear they don't really sound enthusiastic abt it guess i am the first preggy to attend this course. must really prove myself man!

Hi Ladies!
Wow so many new entries...2days didn't log in. It's great to hear that we hv more MTBs joining us. The more the merrier!
Went for my checkup last Fri to see how's the baby doin. Now at 7wks & 6days and I'm glad that I cld see & hear baby's heartbeat! Next appt. will be on the 31st of Oct and will be doin an Oscar test, will be abt 11-12weeks then. Anyone here did it before? I hope test results will come out good.
I too am having white discharge and gynae said it's normal. So no worries yea.
For delivery charges/packages I've not checked thoroughly but based on comparison TMC is 2nd least expensive pte hosp compared to the others. Will check during my next visit.

Hi SK and Tiny M,
I guess its not that our baby are growing slowly, but rather we ovulated late. According to LMP, i should be 8 weeks but i am only 6 weeks now. So no worries.
Re: Tiredness
I am SUPER tired now, especially when i have to run after my #1 who is hyper active. You can hardly find her sitting down. Plus she puts everything in her mouth.
Re:Japanese Food
I love Jap food too, but Jap food w/o sashimi...Hmmm..10 more months of tolerance..
Re: Teacher
I am a teacher too. Luckily, its the final stretch for my students already.

Morning ladies! Everyone enjoyed your weekend!
My goodness! Seems like we have lots of similarities here! I'm not a teacher but my hubby is! He's kinda worried now cos my delivery date is kinda during exams which is busy period but I'm glad that at least for confinement, he'll be home cos of June hols. I told him that his principal better let him off during my delivery or else I'll write letter to MOE, MCYS and MOM to complain! His school is very inflexible..
chidori: I'm seeing Dr. Adrian Woodworth now. I think it's better that u see the gynae in 6-7th week cos then u can see the bb and the heartbeat. I went to see very early (like 5th week) and can't see anything except thick uterus lining. But if u're worried, u can go see the gynae first. I hv no regrets seeing him early cos (1) This is my #1 and I have many things to clarify with him and (2) I took the package cos an early visit is no extra cost to me. U can don't visit the gynae so early, just rem to continue taking folic acid cos that will be what the gynae will prescribe to you anyway.

chidori,
You may call the clinic for appt, an experience nurse will tell you when is the best time to consult doc. If too soon, can't see anything also.

Hello Everyone,
I'm on leave for 2 days..'cos today's my b'day!! Kids went to Sentosa with school in the morning, will bring them for movie in the afternoon.
I have been eating a lot. Just thought: is it alright? I had slimming session before conceive and thought a sudden increase in appetite might be harmful to my body. Anyone has similar thought?

Hi Jen,
The thing is.. with No1, I put on only 12kg, bb weight 2.5kg, then, No2, I tried very hard to eat more, ended putting a total of 18kg, bb weight 2.8kg. Now, No3...should be almost same as no2? For both post birth, I slimmed down to my pre-pregnancy weight..
Guess, I should resume to my full portion of food rather than half portion during slimming!
Andrina gina,
I went to Maternity Exchange on Thursday.. the price is Extremely high.. even on individual rental basis.. thou there are few pieces I like.. I did not sign up for the package.. see how in few months time.
I had ordered a few bottoms from Old Navy through a friend, hope they arrive in 3 wks time.. I can now still bearly fit to those low waist pants or skirt!
SK (oj57) - my gynae has a clinic in TMC, and night clinic on Wed in Woodlands, he delivers both in Mt A and TMC.
I like Mt A, prior, experience with No2. I had a birth plan, delivered him in a different way, Assistant Director came by while I birth, helped with photo-taking. The nurse are patient with breastfeeding, won't subsititute with water unlike some commercial hospital. I can have the bb most of the time.
However, since, I wanted to do lagation after No3 this time, I have no choice but to have this one deliver in TMC.
HTHs.

Re: Pregnancy Tracker
Just to share with u ladies...since my #1, i have been subscribing to http://www.babycentre.co.uk
I find this site is pretty good, every week they will send u an email on ur foetus'growth which i find is pretty accurate. E.g. It showed me that the size for 8wk old foetus would be 1.6cm etc. and the tips and info are pretty useful

re: confinement lady
Adv_sports, u thinking abt day-time, then night time u going to handle the baby on ur own? i must say it's possible but not very easy for 1st timer..coz u'd be very tired to wake up every hour or so..

adv_sports,
I went to spring maternity too but the gal told me my hips might expand further when I am in my 3rd/4th month so dare not buy... You buy one size bigger or buy one that fits yr size?
2nd time MTBs,
Will my hips still grow in the later months? What is the time u would see a substantial weight gain? I am worried about my weight also coz I am very petite and hope I dun "balloon" into a hippo!

re: Maternity online
Actually to share the shipping charges is a good idea but it'd be better if someone has the discount card for them in our thread. I joined the sprees in the sprees section coz some of the organisers have like 10-20% discounts which saves more money(i think prob due to their frequent purchases so they got the special discounts)

Re: Prenatal Yoga
I did my prenatal yoga previously at this place called Whatever. I paid $180 for 10 lessons and did it til 3 days before i gave birth. I must say it's really made me feel good
