my previous TMC bill was about $3k++, assisted delivery with vacuum.
seem that some gynae charge really expensive...
my MS also kicks in, sometimes appetite is also affected. feel so tired... guess partly because i get pregnant again only 6 months after delivery of #1, my body has not fully recovered yet

When I was choosing gynea for my 1st pregnancy, I went to 3 gyneas. Then I asked myself, besides being comfortable and affordable, how else should i choose? Why should I go to a "branded" / popular gynea. Is it necessary? I still end up wif a very experienced and popular gynea becos I tink in times of emergency, an experienced gynea can best help us.
Now with #2 on the way, naturally I will want to go back to the previous gynea for the same reason. BUT, the waiting time needs good patience. Waiting 1.5 to 2 hr is a norm, and we see her for 5-10mins for smooth pregnancy.Given the long waiting time for every appointment, I'm considering to switch gynea.
Anyone has idea of waiting time for appointment at Dr Joycelyn Wong's clinic ?

babylet,
my gyne is dr douglas ong. mt E / ten mile junction oso got clinic... his package start from 12 or 14wks (if i remember correctly. my #1 package cost $1.8k exclude medicine, blood test etc too. only for consultation, scanning and Normal delivery fee. if c-section gotta top up $. now his package increase to 2k. *faintz* he can do delivery at mt A too. cheaper. so i deliver my ger at Mt A instead of Mt E.

I think also abt 1 hr waiting time, coz she is v popular too. But I find that she's faster than my gynae who seems to take a longer time. So even tho Dr Wong has many patients, she is quite fast, I feel.
crystalz
I see. My gynae gave me the charges differently. $600+ for antenatal, then delivery is lumped with TMC's hosp charges, so I dunno how much is her actual delivery charge.

fatfat,
i think maybe she prescribed you the duphston juz as a precautionary measure? if she says you're ok, then dun worry too much.
think having cramps quite normal? i'm also cramping mildly, but doc say its normal, didn't give me any medication. initially i was very worried too.

JovanMa, my #1 is 18 mths. So he will be 2 yrs old when #2 comes.
I am really seriously thinking of KK and then get Dr. Joycelyn to deliver when I am nearer my EDD. That is provided that the pregnancy is a smooth one.

Hello fatfat
U have the same gynae as me! Finally I found someone else.
I believe the duphaston is just a precautionary measure. It's like an tai yao. I also got to take 1 pill per day.
The cramps are normal, dun worry, it's just the womb stretching. I also have that, since week 5 in fact!
jeslyn
Do u want to go down to another clinic & do a check? Even if u dun, pls try to lie down, dun walk too much, dun carry heavy things. I spotted on Sun nite & nearly freaked out! Spent the whole nite in bed & din get up except to go toilet.

My doc is Dr Caroline Khi from ACJ Clinic. She's located at TMC.
She asked me questions like what I did, did I carry anything heavy, did I eat something etc etc... Then she did u/s & checked for heartbeat. And to make sure that babylet got heartbeat & has grown. Then she checked the watersac which was the prob. Got a little blood at the edge.
Then I kena jabbed, & she increased my duphaston from 1 to 2x a day. And she gave me mc & told me to stay at home & dun walk too much, carry heavy things, no sex, etc etc.
Did u do a scan the last time u spotted? Got mc to rest at home?

Hi kiki,
my 1st gynae was Dr Lawrence Ang also. Now i'm hving my 2Nd one due in end Sep.. I am not going back to him as my past experience with him wasnt so good. But maybe it's just a once off experience.. Now i'm seeing my sister's gynae at glen eagles.. will def be more expensive but no choice..

can, but heard from my friend that after npl still need to come back and teach before can resign? Not very sure about the procedure. Hb also not v keen on me quitting, he says i'm giving up everything. Too many considerations, not least of which is financial.

Melanie, our kid is about the same age then. Born in the year of 2007 =) Ask you arh, how then do you cope with having #2? Now that I am pregnant, I know that I am not suppose to carry heavy things. But then it is difficult not to carry #1 lor....
kiki> when do u normally drink the Anmum?? I have a few packets given by my fren.. but i dun like vanilla.. anyone wants?? i have abt 5 packets... means 10 sachets to give away...

then do the scan.. for like..1 min? that one was very fast...
then we sit down.. he talk to us abt antoher 5 min... but i was inside roughly 20-25min la.. coz i went in about 1:05pm.. i came out at the counter abt 1:30pm.

whitley> wah.. congrats!!!
jeslyn> i think orange juice is good leh..read from books.. good source of Vit C..
Usually my gynae sees at 3 weeks interval....till the 2nd trim.. then its every 4 weeks...
I went 5 weeks plus.. next visit is 8 weeks plus.. then 11 weeks... and should be 15weeks?? i dunno.. i prob drag to 16 weeks... haha... but by then is on package liaoz..

mamijoan> hahaa.. yes.. good to know that chilli is okay... haha.. but i guess moderate la... i try my best not to take loh..
coz actually... if we ask gynae.. almost everything also can eat de.. they not so mafan... hahaha....
coz no scientic proof to proof that certain food will cause certain conditions..
but its mainly from mothers-passed-down-theories.. haha..
Denise> hihi... same here.. i just feel queasy.. but not really vommitting anything...

Lynnette> SOrry to hear that.. do take care....
Whitey> i did read in books that sometimes due to our current lifestyle.. our body's senses will link certain nutrients we need with the wrong foods...
So we may be lacking a particular nutrient in our body..and claypot rice..which we prob used to take alot last time..may be linked to the lack of the particular nutrient..
and hence we eat it...
but.. claypot rice..being such a oily food... isnt that good and pleasant to our now-very-sensitive tummy...and prob thats why LawShe vomitted it all out...
hahah.. i used to love claypot rice too.. but no craving for it yet....
My mind is constantly for some 'new' food... food that i dun normally eat... maybe i've been eating too much junk all the while..
and my body is telling me to eat something healthy.. hahaha...
Subway is good though.. healthy.. with veggies..and not so fattening... i ate a whole 6" myself and was sooo happy with it... haha..
Coz i dun exactly finish a full portion of any other food now.. after 1/2 the plate.. i'm full.. or feels full...
But when i eat something 'healthy', i can really eat! hehe....

anyone has difficulty falling asleep? i feel very tired but i have difficulty sleeping lately. i went to bed at 11pm, toss for a good 1 hr and then decided to wake up (and here i am surfing net)! i feel that when i lie down, i feel very uncomfortable at the chest like something is stuck and i'd start to burp.
anyone has the same problem?
