Polar I went yesterday do not have strawberry cream cakes. They carry those cartoons infront of the cakes and I do not like it. I'd rather have a nice fresh cream cake with strawberries on it
Tampines one Basement One have nice cakes but they are too big. I am looking at 300grm enough for 3 adults, 1 kid. I'm going my neighbourhood store and take a look. Worst come to worst I'm getting the expansive one tonight at Tampines one. They stuff half strawberries at each rounded 4 corners yesterday night, I saw the cake and immediately love it but it cost me $32 for a half kg. When I can get 1kg at that price.. -_-"

comfort: Just need to scan through the archive for the past few days and you'll find that a few mummies here also under this same Dr Woodworth and he told every patient can't deliver at MtA! In fact, tinybubu has clarify with MtA and was told that Dr Woodworth is welcome anytime!
I'm not under Dr Woodworth but was afraid my gynae at Mt E cannot deliver at Mt A due to swine flu too. It's until I check w my gynae's nurse and found that there's no such regulation at all.
Qi: Start NOW! You can give that piece of strawberry cake to your hubby tonight

Haiya KKH nurse call me again! Why everyday I seem to be bothered by the nurses huh? She said I got this:
Gestational Diabetes causes the baby to grow larger. This can make delivery difficult and some women may need a c section. When the baby is born, it may have low blood sugar and need sugar water and monitoring. In extreme cases, heart defects in the baby can occur and in rare cases, untreated diabetes can result in a stillbirth.
The primary treatment is through dietary measures. You will need to increase your intake of carbohydrates and fiber. You should eat less fat and sugar. The doctor will give you the exact dietary requirements for your condition. If dietary measures don't improve the condition, you may be given insulin injections. Unlike regular diabetes, the condition corrects itself after the baby is born.
Failing the initial test doesn't necessarily mean you have Gestational Diabetes. It could just mean you ate a big piece of cake before the appointment. This is what happened to me with my first pregnancy. -By Pattie Hughes is a freelance writer and mother of four young children.

And I didnt eat cake ma! I had bubble tea! hahahhaa
*****
Nurse said I got Diabetics but she is very polite. I told her I need to see doctor before deciding to go or not. And she's fine with it (not so pushy and rude unlike the previous nurse) So see doctor first before deciding to go or not.

comfort,
i m having the same EDD & same gynae as u.
i also want to go MT A like u cos my #1 was born in MT A & i want #2 to born there too. when r u seeing him? i m going this sat so going to pester him abt going to MT A like what jam75 suggest. 
tinybubu,
oh u will b there at 1 pm ah? i m usually the last few pple to arrive ie ard 2-2.30pm cos my #1 takes afternoon nap ard 12pm so by the time i reached SK, already very late.
bing,
u going to c woody this friday & plan to induce? i went induced for my #1 cos #1 overdued. woody guideline is if u don't progress well in dilation ie 1 cm per hr after he breaks the waterbag, he will ask u to go for c-sect. not necessary emergency c-sect cos u can still opt for epi c-sect. for my #1, i only dilate up to 3 cm after 6 hrs w/o epi, then he tell me since my bb so big ie 3.745kg, better don't waste time, $ and risk so hubby agreed with him and ask me go for c-sect loh.

qi7, that lady that you quoted about eating a big piece of cake before the appointment, what she is saying is not relevant to those of us who took the Glucose Tolerance Test, cos we would have fasted before our test. The one where you don't have to fast beforehand is a Glucose Screening Test, by finger prick. That one just tells you how much sugar you have in your system as at THAT point, so yes, results will be affected by a piece of cake.
The GTT that we take, it doesn't really matter what we ate the day before, it has no impact, cos the test results are a reflection of how well our body is able to break down the glucose that they gave to us, after our body has been starving for 8 hours. If the results are not too good, it means that our body is not very good at breaking down sugars, and this means we could already have, or could be LIKELY to have, gestational diabetes.
But yes, I also think you should see your actual results and talk to your own obgyn first, before seeing any other doctors, or attending whatever talks lor... It's your right to know about your own health. Maybe your results are not even that bad, just a bit off the norm...
Blurmom, how come you're inducing??
Woody's patients:
Don't ASK him already, just tell him point blank that MAH has confirmed they welcome him to deliver there, and that MOH has confirmed there's no such regulation about cannot cross hospital to deliver. Maybe should ask him if this is just his OWN "regulations"... See what else he has to say haha... Haiyoh, dunno what's his hangup about TMC and MAH. If he doesn't like MAH, he shouldn't offer it as an option to begin with.

dolly,
i reach MT A at 8am then gynae broke waterbag at around 9am. he came back at 3pm to tell me that i didn't dilate much so ask me to go c-sect. then i discuss with hb and we agreed at 3.30pm. i went to operation theatrette ard 4pm and bb came out at 4.20pm. another uni fren of mine who also went induce and her gynae from Gleneagles told her that she didn't dilate much after 6-7rs too but ask her go GA c-sect wor. so we concluded that both our gynae is not those "patience" type ie let u slowly go and dilate? or is it becos we being first time mum, blur blur just follow instruction? i heard kk guideline is to let u slowly go n dilate with no time restriction. only due to emergency case like waterbag color change to black or bb heartbeat drop then will push u go emergency csect loh. my colleague gave birth in kk n took 24hrs to dilate then deliver.

Superbee: Thanks for the info. I'd very much like to deliver naturally and would not even let him break waterbag or induce unless there's medical condition. I'm curious if he suggested to have c-sec because it's almost dinner time, but since it's 3pm, then it's likely just his style to have a controlled birth.
KKH guideline is much better in letting nature takes it course!

i think KKH is more prone to natural deliveries.I've also heard many stories of my friends who deliver at KKH (private / subsidized) where they were in labour for 16 hours , 11 hours etc etc).For my friends who gave birth in private hospitals, their labours are always very short.If their labour gets a tad bit long, their gynaes will encourage C-Section.
I think some gynaes just do that to earn more from the C-section charges and also so they dont have to standby and come back suddenly in the middle of the night or when they are seeing patients at their clinics.

Superbee, my friend who delivered at TMC was also left to dilate at her own pace for 16hrs, before both she and her doc decided that it's not progressing, then went for c-sect. Another friend who delivered at KKH also took more than 24hrs to dilate. So I think it depends on the practices (and patience) of individual doctors...

dolly, dinner time doesn't mean must go c-sec already what.... hehe
Whoever your doc is, just be firm about what you want. He can't go against your wishes unless a medical emergency happens (your BP shoots up, baby heart rate drops, poo in water, etc.). But of course, I'm sure you'll know when to call it quits lah, like after 24hrs of labour still not that much progress! How long would you want to try before you'll allow any intervention?
was tinking if we insist to wait till it dilate can ma?? tink 1st time mummy if gynae say wat we will juz follow their instruction...if i was told the same thing dat i nid to go c-sect i tink will oso follow gynae instruction lo cos we oso dunno wat to do the gynae should give us their best suggestion f us to hv smooth delivery ba! dis is wat i tink lo!
jam75,
of cos if ur normal labor sympton come, u dont have to consider induce at all.
my issues last time is becos i dont have real labor sympton on my EDD but 2 times of false labor wks b4 my EDD. i m pro-natural delivery so he told me go and try induce 2 days later if still no sympton happen on my EDD. as for c-sect, will be based on situation like breech position, low placenta, medical condition, personal choice and lastly no dilation progress. as for charges, not to worry. he only charge me for the c-sect price $1500 + $450 for the operation fee. the induce hrs fee is charged by the hospital which i can't tell from the bill also. but i opt for epi c-sect so there is another dr who charged me $450 dunno for what?!?!?!
Tubbymummy,
i agree with u that i might just tell him that i will go MT A regardless what he try to say. my SIL who just delivered in MT A say there is a standby doctor who can give birth for u incase ur gynae cannot reach in time to deliver u. so a scenario will be i just head straight to MT A when my labor starts, then see if he will come to MT A or not hor?? hehee... If he not coming, then the standby doc deliver loh... the only issue is have to see this new gynae for post-natal visit loh which means pay extra $ cos our pre-natal charges included post-natal visits too.

qi7, great that you kept your baby daughter. I think every child is a gift from God and he will make sure everything will turn out fine.
Dolly, while I am still preggie, my hubby is already talking abt #2. He wants the children to be close in age and doesn't want only 1 child cos he is scared that he will be lonely. I was like, " pls let me rest for a while first, pregnancy not easy leh" haha
Yes I definitely think that it depends on the doc's practices and style, on whether they are pronatural or quick to decide on medical interventions. I have heard of docs who allow the patients to try natural birth for a long time whereas others are rather quick to suggest C section.i think its important to discuss the birth plan with your doc beforehand.

dolly, tinybubu & tubbymummy,
u r rite. i think private hospitals gynae prefer to have controlled birth so that they can go to many places in a day to deliver many mummies too.. my fren @ gleneagles also end up in csect in afternoon too.... kkh is much better in this perspective!
jam75,
u can insist to wait if u want cos i tried to bargain with him to let me try for another 1 hr then he say 1 hr wont have miracle dilation one. if i still want to insist, he say i can continue to go on for another 6hrs but he not giving me epi loh cos he say nurse saw green water leaking wor.... then i tot, aiyo pain for another 6hrs w/o epi n hubby say "forget it loh" so we end up guai guai listen to gynae cos we don't want to put our bb at risk also...
actually i got a bit of post natal depression due to my previous birth experience becos i hope so much for natural and ended up very disappointed loh. plus my c-sect scar kena infection so i was very depressed loh.

Tiny bubu/jam 75, I think that you should discuss your birth plan with your gynaes and ensure that he and the midwife sticks to that but of course if there is any unpredictable situation that crops up and the gynae suggests otherwise we should at least understand the rationale and decide if we want to go with that. It is important that the doc and the nurse respects your wishes because we own the birth experience.
Well, this is how I intend to go about it=)

Superbee, haha... good ploy, just go to MAH regardless, see whether doc turns up or not haha... Your previous round, the doc who charge $450, is it the PD?? Or maybe anaesthetist that administered the epi?
bbaugustine, if my kid shares same music taste as my hubby, they can bring the house down liao... -_- hehe
I think I read somewhere else on this forum about a lady who refused to check into hospital to break her waters haha. After CTG confirmed that her baby is perfectly fine, she went home, and let her labour take place at its own course, and only popped 3 days later than if she had her waters broken. Think she just wanted minimal intervention...

TubbyMummy: I've gynae is pro-natural also. I'm taught to delay going into hospital until I really close to delivery. If the only sign is contraction, then wait for contraction to be 90sec duration before going down. In this way the hospital cannot tell you that it's too long and we still have comfort of own home.
The induction success rate also depends on the Bishop score, which I've sent out yesterday. So if your gynae asked you to induce, can also ask him what's your Bishop score, if success rate not high, why not just go home? I also watch a video of birth that the lady went home and come back after 2 days to deliver
bbaugustine: Yeah, I heard we need to rest for 1 year without pregnancy first. Then can try again.
Still have not sit down and write the birth plan yet, but I've been telling my gynae bit by bit over each visit.
Superbee: Dilation is not a something we can control lah, I heard people can dilate from 4cm to 10 cm within 20 minutes before! However, when the water start to turn colour, then maybe really got some urgency

Yesterday I was asked how i'm preparing for labour (eg. breathing exercises etc etc) and i realised i'm doing nothing... hahaha.
anybody here care to share what they're doing?any breathing exercises or massaging of boobs etc etc?
i only remember the "pant pant blow" breathing exercise i did in antenatal class.this is for when i have a contraction but should not push the baby out yet.
other than that, i think i do kegels once in a while....
but i'm not doing much else.
my hubby started teasing me yesterday saying my boobs look like the women on national geographic... that was his code for tribal women. hahaha. what to do?boobs cant be perky forever.

tinybubu:I started to get my hubby to do perineal massage, this helps to massage the perineum and hopefully there won't be tear during natural birth. It's kind of late because we should start at 35weeks, but still better late then never!
As for kegel, we are supposed to do 200 a day, but yeah,I also didn't do as much. And just read somewhere that we should not do it during peeing time once we know which muscle to control, cos it might cause urinal infection. So just do it while sitting, watching TV...etc

For perineum massage, i think my hubby is a bit squirmish.we sometimes watch the birthing documentaries on Discovery Channel and he looks away with a scared look on his face....
I think he still has this idea where the vagina is something sexual and not used to push babies out.hahaha.
