2ww,
Mt E is Mount Elizabeth hos. There are gynaes who are based there. My sis-in-law delivered both her children at Mt E. Gleneagles is another hos. I delivered both my 2 elder children there. Cost me S$4.2k (gynae cost, my hospitalisation cost and my baby cost). I got a 20% discount on the hos charges because my gynae just came out from KKH and so he managed to negotiate a discount for patients who follow him out. For my 2nd child, the bill came out to be S$5k plus. I chose 1 bedder for both my delivery and also I didn't use epideral or other pain relief, only laughing gas so cheaper than some others.

Hi mommies,
I took the hosp tour with my preggy gf yest at Thomson Medical, and the suites are so nice! Heh. Initially was deciding between 2 bedder or 1, but after hearing stories of how we might get a roomie that snores loudly etc, i decided to opt for a one-bedder, then hubby can stay over as well. For one bedder, they have so many categories as well. Deluxe lah, premiere single lah, etc. Popped over to the nursery to look at the babies. So cute!

Claire,
Congeats on knowing your bb's gender! Yeah gal or boy doesnt matter. As long as bb is healthy! =)

Thanks mummies for sharing how you choose the hospitals. Like what chil said, I think I will double confirm with my gynae tml which hospital she can delivers only before making my choice. Hopefully not just Gleneagles! =S
From what you all have shared seemed like Gleneagles is really going to cost a bomb (2 to 3 times more), so that makes my choice easier, only need to decide between Mt A and TMC if I can have the option to choose.
mongs > Sorry for my ignorant, what is laughing gas?
Chil > GA stands for?
I saw some maternity packages posted by hospital, what is the difference between normal delivery and assisted delivery?

Altáriël > I think baby shower and full month celebration means the same time in local context. But that's from what i know lah, dunno correct anot.
hi oceangal, GA = General anaesthesia aka total knock out. gd and bad.. gd = is like gong through a deep sleep. when u woke up, yr bb is out. bad = it took hrs before u can totally wake up and walking ard. and u cant c yr bb till then! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] some ppl say is more risky cos got mummies never woke up [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
E'leen,thank you..will try more pelvic exercise ^_^
2ww,it's my dh.he said if girl must buy gold for her birthday every year and start to keep Chinese wine for her so she can drink during her wedding.He even plan to delay his retirement plans if girl,but bb is boy..nothing...haha..my poor boy boy..
Ok lah,we are just happy to have a healthy bb at the end of the day.

I want to drink gong cha!!!

joyce: sometime u experience static because your skin is dry, wearing rubber shoes will also generate static due to the friction. try moisturising your hands to see if helps
altariel: baby shower is pre-birth, full month is post-birth [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
oceanicgal: yup, assisted delivery is when forceps or vacuum is used to help to baby out. mongs is referring to entonox, a mixture of nitrous oxide + air (http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/labourandbirth/painrelief/entonox/) it's supposed to help relieve the pain... but effects vary (it didn't work for me~)

Morning mummies!
It's been a while since I've come in here. Been busy with work. It's so nice that so many of you seeing your baby often. My scan is still a long time away at the end of the month.
Anyone felt babies' kick/movement already? My friend who's 2 weeks ahead of me said she felt it recently. So exciting!
Re: GA. It's not as scary as one imagined. I gone through it twice (not delivery but other op) and had no problem with it. Really all depends on indv. Also not all gynaes do epi c-sec so the choice may not be yours to do GA or epi for c-sec. Best to check with your gyane on this.

Joyce,
swa ur comment on static shock. i had that when i was in US few months back, weather was prob too dry.
one sure way to get out of it (that's what I did), touch the door handle with ur fingernail first. then u can grab it coz static electric already discharged. worked like a charm for me then. else every door i open i'll get a shock! not a nice feeling =)
so nice most of u know gender and can feel kicking.. i haven felt much. or i'm confused. sometimes i feel in night, but maybe its just my muscles cramping and stretching? felt like a few taps then no more... excited to feel movement leh.. maybe my 'layers' too much.. =)

hi hi, baby wasn't cooperative at my 17 weeks scan yesterday so cannot see gender ! gynae said she thot she saw a boy but couldn't verify cos could be the umblical cord... so have to wait for 20 week scan on 28 Jan !!! what a loooooooong wait !
someone asked me to about handsfree / rechargeable breastpump - my recommendation would be Ameda cos it is very portable and silent. Even if you do not have a room in the office, just wear a BIG shawl, set up and pump. 10-15 mins is all it takes to get all the milk out. I will put the pump in my drawer to reduce the motor noise so that makes is even more quiet. And with the big shawl, no one can see anything and you can even talk to colleagues who drop by...

E'leen > Thanks for the link on the video.
I've just got back frm my checkup. Gynae has confirmed that it's a princess. Hohoho.. BB is measuring 10cm. Gynae told me my tummy small cos only 16 weeks how big can it be? Wahahaha, and she said cos it's first birth, usually the stretching effect is slower.
I've checked with my gynae, she only delivers at Mt A and Gleneagles. I think I will go for the maternity tour before making my decision on which to hospital to deliver.
Qiuen > can update for me. Baby=Girl, Hospital=TBC and Location=Bukit Batok. Thanks.

Hi E'leen,
I'm going for my DS next Tuesday too! Hope I can get to know the gender too. Yeah, I think having to care for no 1 makes one feel less energetic as compared to the first pregnancy. First time still can rest and relax when tired. Now no chance!!
Oceanicgal,
Congrats! Now you can go buy a lot of clothes!!
Qiuen,
Your baby looks so cute! Your gynae is like mine. Mine didn't even want to scan the privates at 16 weeks. Just mentioned that it's still small and asked me to wait till 20 weeks.. GRR. 20th week is fast coming!
Krex78,
congrats!!
ann01jan,
keke..now how you feel. Guess everyone is just waiting to find out the big surprise [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] 3 weeks will past very soon!

Thank you! Would like to wish all of you a blessed and exciting 2011, especially with the arrival of the little one soon!

Ann, which center u go for?

Gynae confirmed i'm having a boy at least 70-80% quien, pls update for me, thanks! going for my detailed scan on 11 Feb.
chili_padi, i had double checked with Jeanelle, confirmed Dr Sim deliver at Mt A, I'm not too sure where your colli heard from that she don't deliver at Mt A. btw dr sim's delivery $ increased liao, this time round we need to pay a deposit of $600 (for normal delivery) upfront at 34wks. her normal delivery is abt $950-$1100, din check the rest, the deposit will be used to offset when we receive the TMC bill.
oh ya, i lost a total of 3-4kg from 1st trim till now, but bb is growing, bb estimated wt is abt 148g.
