I'm left with 5 embies but din use leh. After the IVF babies, I think the hormones regulated my system and kicked start my engine. Dun know I could be so luck to 1 shot 1 kill. Both hubby n me still in disbelieve that I'm preggie lor. This one is singleton, apart from the terrible MS, everything is still manageable. In fact, this one got lots of cravings, last time the other 2 totally no cravings.
I'll probably keep them for one year before disposing them cos I won't be able to give birth liao. By the time I give birth to this one, I'm hitting 40 liao. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I was thinking of going back to Dr Loh leh. but after what you mentioned that he's encouraging you to go pte, dun think he's free the entertain me kuah! Altho, KKH is a public hospital, I'm more comfortable about their handling of emergency cases. Can rest assure that there are medical stuff 24 hrs. I'm sure you are aware of their Emergency Code thing. I witnessed one such case while I was in my emergency C-section. They are really professional. I told hubby that if I'm going into labour prior to 36 weeks, I'll go straight to 24 hrs clinic first den let them handle. Rather forgo the package fee for the pte gynae, cos it will be cheaper for baby to stay in KKH in Neo-natal or SCN den in pte hospital.

I usually go to the one in Phuket but my next stop would probably be Koh Samui. Been to the one in Phuket for 4 times already, they are a bit run down by now. Personally prefer thailand bcos of their hospitality, the one in Bintan not too good.
As for stretch mark, yes it will fade over time. There's many different type of creams and oil to help with stretch marks. It depends on individual preferences and how religiously you are applying it. During my first pregnancy, I did not have much stretch mark, probably it's genetic or probably bcos I apply generously twice a day.
I was prescribed a very simple and cheap moisturising cream from National Skin centre ~ Aqueous Moisturising Cream @ $4 plus per tub (dun know if they have increase the price), since it's cheap I use 1 tub per week, literally applying my whole body.
Morning will wake up, take my shower den apply. Den after evening shower, will apply again. Never never apply moisturiser on dry skin, that will make it more irritable and drier. My dermatologist friend told me that moisturiser needs fluid to work, so it's best to apply over damp skin, cos there's fluid on the skin, making the rubbing in easier. If you apply on dry skin, the cream will have to extract fluid from under your skin before it can be absorbed back into your skin. So if you notice, sometimes when you scratch you leg, den it appear that dry skin is coming off, and if you quickly just apply cream, you'll realise that it's more itchy right? that's the reason. Hope this will help you understand how our skin works.
