@princess31 - I attend TMC, Mrs Wong's class. My husband and I enjoys her classes very much, as she gets the husband involved in exercises, and she shares her experiences with lots of jokes too. During our third class, she also gave each couple a toy baby for hands-on bathing, breastfeeding, burping, diapers wrapping.. so there's never a dull moment. She also show us very eye-opening videos of childbirth, breastfeeding etc... a little gross, but informative. We can feel that she's really passionate about what she's teaching. So it's sad to hear you say the Mt A class is boring, coz for us, we definitely look forward to our antenatal class. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Ah Ching: Alamak! Stand by gynae? That's like some total random stranger [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] But I guess if really no choice then bo pian...will check with my gynae about all this when I next see her ...
Pootz: Ya, I think I should've signed up for TMC's Wong Boh Boi's classes instead of at Mt A.
but I thought I would be delivering at Mt A hence signed up for the Ladies Card and also the antenatal classes there to save $$. Plus, the antenatal class at Mt A includes hospital tour as one of the lessons so I thought can kill two birds with one stone. Did not expect my gynae to drop the bombshell that I won't be able to deliver at Mt. A. Somemore it was only because I asked; she didn't volunteer the info. So by the time I found out, it was too late to signup for TMC classes. Sigh! Well, I hope my next few classes will be more interesting [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

@Ah Ching - 3rd trim start on wks 28..u r almost there [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Me also lazy to do kegel exercise and have to remind myself to make a point to do it often.
Anyone who has low-lying placenta, is it true we cannot do light exercise as i would like to do prenatal yoga.

@Mrs Ong - yeh, low placenta cannot do pre-nat yoga... When I was at Mrs Wong's class, she sit on the floor feet to feet, then do some stretching exercise, she also tell the low placenta pple cannot do... sad hor! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Mrs Ong: I have low lying placenta and my gynae advised against most types of exercise including contact sports, and even swimming [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] But she said walking is fine though not for too long. I'm not sure about prenatal yoga though. Best to check with the yoga instructor?

the first talk is a bit more dry. but the rest are great! sister kang is the mrs wong of Mt A, and she's a great lactation consultant.
also ppl i spoke to who have delivered at both TMC and Mt A unanimously said they preferred Mt A. and if they had a third child, opted for Mt A.
personally i really like Mt A cos the nurses are so caring... and the atmosphere more laid-back... and when my dd had to go to hospital, the attention was so immediate though i had expected some wait. quite impressed with the knowledge of the child ward nurses, as good as asking a doctor.
i think for your gynae, she's probably talking abt a self-imposed quota. never heard of mt A giving any doctor quotas... and even if so, for her to have met the quota she must have booked quite a lot of ppl into Mt A already? but from your friend's sharing, doesn't seem so?
anyway, no worries lah, make the most of the situation. at least you know you'll get speedy attention if you deliver at TMC during her office hours.

trinket: Phew, ok! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] At least I can look forward to the next few lessons ... heehee ... I'm not sure if all the classes are done by sister Kang but hopefully I'll have her for at least some of the lessons.
I'm thinking maybe for my 2nd child I'd like to experience Mt Alvernia so at least I have some basis for comparison should the situation of a 3rd child ever arise
I'm also beginning to suspect that this quota is self-imposed. Nobody I've spoken with has a gynae that speaks of a quota for delivering at certain venues. Sigh. But oh well. I can't really argue with my gynae on this, can I? She sounded so helpless when she said she was fully booked at Mt. A ... I was quite taken aback so we just kinda went "Okaaayy...." . We haven't booked anything yet though so let's see what happens. I guess at the end of the day, I've already convinced myself that it doesn't really matter where I give birth so long as I'm in capable hands and facilities are adequate [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] But I must admit it took me at least a week or two to get over it and till today, I'm still searching for a rational explanation at the very least.

Mrs Ong,
I have a low lying placenta and I signed up for 4 prenatal yoga sessions at mother and child. They told me that you can do prenatal yoga but no squatting exercises. What I like about the class is that they tell you not to do any exercise you feel uncomfortable with. just let the instructor know first

I did the same class two years ago with no problem. Also went swimming once a week. unless you notice any spotting you'll be ok. Gentle exercise is fine [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
princess31: yah i also agree with pootz that mdm wong's class is highly enjoyable. i am not advertising her but though i would put in a good word cos i really had fun. she is sincere and funny and the topics she teaches really caught my attention. only downside is i had to attend without my husband as he is working so i missed out a lot of couple interaction. anyway, nevermind lah. im sure u will pick up something useful in the mt a class as well.

i checked internet and so many articles talk about post partum after delivery hairloss... the few that talk about hairloss during pregnancy say its unusual.....sigh..
i suspect is the progestrone shots and tablets i have been given... but no choice i have to take those as i have high risk of miscarrying... now my hair is gone. wonder if it will reverse after birth... =( so upset
