Kat, ICA
I had to prick my fingers before each meal and after each meal and also before my sleeping time (tat's 7 times). Not sure whether it's called OGTT but I know that my doc told me to test twice a week.
As my relatives have history of mild diabetes, the clinic got me to rent the glucose reader until the delivery. After that, I tried to eat less of rice but my pre meal level is low (maybe i was hungry). Doc then said that sugar level can't be too low. Then now, i just eat and steer clear of mashed potato and chicken pie which I like during my 1st trimester.
Told my doc that I had wholemeal bread for breakfast and he said it's better to have rolled oats. I think it's cos wholemeal bread has 60% of whole grain only.
The urine test isn't that accurate cos i checked and it was normal but the blood test is more accurate.
ICA- Maybe you can pm me yr list of diet.

Hi all
For those delivering at Thomson, would you go to the PD at Thomson during the baby's early years or to the neighbourhood PD?
My boss told me that there is a popular PD at Thomson who shifted to Novena Sq or UE Sq(a Dr Tan Boon Liat?). I was like taken aback when he told me 1 visit is not cheap, can be around $200.
Just wondering whether the vacination can be done at polyclinics. Should be cheaper?

Ling will send you the diet list next Monday, ok? the softcopy's in my laptop in the office. hehe..but mine's a pretty easy to follow diet. for the time being, the diet is like this (i've the hardcopy with me):-
Breakfast
2 slices of bread, lightly buttered
with 1 bowl of cereal/oats
1 glass skim milk
Mid morning/Tea/10pm Supper
2 cracker biscuit or 4 marie biscuit
or 1 apple *
or 1 sandwich
Tea/coffee, no sugar, and skim milk
Lunch/Dinner
1 bowl rice/porridge/4 potatoes
Vege & meat as per normal
1 fruit *
* Solid fruit preferable. No watermelon, papaya
* Avoid:
Fried food
Santan/coconut milk eg. curry unless it's cooked with evaporated milk.
The plan is to have 3 main meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner) + 3 smaller meals in between. Eat 2/3 for the main meals, with the balance 1/3 for the smaller meals.
since you have to test your blood glucose level so many times a day, then you must think and eat like a diabetic - totally no sugar. my dad had diabetes and i remembered he ate soya bean curd without the syrup

jts: u can choose to go pd or gp, but note that not all gp can diagnose as well as a pd if ur child has any childhood diesease. u can however go to a gp for the childhood immunisation program. gp's charges are lower for vaccination, but poly clinic even lower. pd charges are v high, so if cost is a consideration, then u shd do a hybrid of visits to a gp/pd depending on situation.
my criteria for a pd:
1. near ur hm if possible
2. has nite clinics
3. queue is short, in other words, not an overly popular dr.
noknok
when in the hospital, a pd will look at ur child. u can decide to continue seeing the pd or go to one nearer to home. always ask for goood recommendations from frens/relatives who lives in ur area.
u can start visiting the pd 3-5 days after going hm. the initial assessment is just to make sure bb is doing well, gaining weight and is not hvg severe jaundice.

For my gestational diabetes monitoring, the diabetics nurse suggested that I monitor my blood sugar 7 times a day, for 2 days a week. I just started doing that. I end up being really conscious about what I put into my food. Sometimes, I still worry about how big my baby will be. My last scan at 26th week was 920g.
And my next scan will be in 32nd week.
Do you all have scans more frequently??

Hi, I will be getting a PD first for first few months at least, then you can transfer to neighbourhood GP. I think first few mths is when we need to take the utmost care for our baby so a PD is better at handling.
If you don't have a specific PD, your gynae will assign you one (probably tied up with your gynae one). If you have a specific PD in mind, you can request but let your gynae know beforehand. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi mummies,
I am a March mummy....I have a brand new car seat. suitable for infant to 1 yr old. got as gift but i have one already hence selling. It's good to get a infant car seat first then buy one suitable for older kids later. Infant car seat is more recline as babies can't really sit up as yet. It comes with handle and can be carried like a basket...can use it to bring baby home from hospital if not comfortable to carry baby
retailing abt $90. will let off cheaply at $45. if keen pm me.

Baby hiccups are reflexes done on bb lungs so that bb can start breathing when bb arrives.. its also mentioned in the video clip "in the womb" by national geographic... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
not to worry about the infection, jus take the medication that dr gave and it will be ok.. infection is very common because of our hormones change and the high blood circulation at our "there"..

Anyone still awake? Kind of upset with my hubby just now. My washing machine had some problem and stopped washing halfway, end up i decided to hand wash it. Cant let the soggy n soppy clothes be in the washing machine over night right??? And coz im going to hand wash means the clothes are going to dripping when i hang them so i thought its better to hang out to drip dry at night otherwise tomorrow then hang my neighbours sure complain. And my hubby will have to go work early in the morning meaning i will have to hang the clothes myself. So i started the hand washing, and ask him to help me hang it out. Coz the clothes are too heavy, so he started grumbling and say y dun leave it till tomorrow?? But how to? Tomorrow i will also have to hand wash and i will still need someone to help me with the hanging out right? And now we are not talking to each other...

Hi Bliss,

I was wondering anymore benefits which I am not aware of or nt...

I went to the clinic to collect my med yesterday. Was given oral antibiotics and a pill to insert. I have yeast and Group B Strep infection. I know yeast is pretty common, though i dun have it before, but when i read up on Group B Strep it seems quie scary and risky for the baby. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Will ask gynae abt it on my next appt.

mommies, do you all feel the need to pee more often now? Today I went out in the afternoon from 3+ to 9+ i think I went to toilet at least 6 times. Each time I pee very little only but the urge is always there!! I think maybe bb is in a position where he is pressing down on my bladder but it is soooo uncomfortable.
