Anmum is nice especially the chocolate favour. Mamil Mama cannot make it. Usually Gynae will have samples hence try before you buy.
I currently taking fresh milk, specifically from Australia. Hahahha... I very paranoid now hence will avoid food from source with less stringent quality control. But I am not rich hence cannot indulge in organic food. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Pinkyrose - I have problem choosing gynae too but i suppose the following factors are worth considering in order of importance. (just 2cents worth of my opinion[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif])
1) You have to be comfortable with the gynae
2) Cost per visit as well as which hospital does your gynae delivers
3) Distance as you may have heard towards the last trimester, it will be weekly visit instead of monthly visit.

feimei - v-scan as in vaginal scan? my 1st scan was that. i was told that my bb is too small to be noticed via ultrasound scan hence v scan is necessary.
Also, I've read somewhere that if you have enough water in your tummy it should aid the ultrasound scan too so avoid going to toilet before your scan.

Feimei,
So sorry, can help to remove my name from the list. I failed my pregnancy again. I am in KL now, having slight red discharges and saw a Dr here. He did scan for me, found that my sac has no heart beat. So I have to go and will do D&C when back to singapore.
Bye everybody. Have a smooth pregnancy.

Hi lynn
I have the same feeling as you regarding the reaction of the in-laws. i am staying with my in-laws and they have been taking care of my hubby's niece and nephew since they are born. (The children only go home on the weekend.)
I am the first in my family's generation to be pregnant hence my side are all very happy and excited when I told them. But when I told my in-laws, they just nodded their head, smile and say 'good lor'.
Like you, I dun expect celebration or whatsoever. But their reaction just sort of disappoint me. Probably also due to I am very emotional at this time hence more sensitive.
My mum consoled me and encouraged me to think on the bright side. Maybe my in-laws areg laughing inside their room. Just that they 'paiseh' to show. =)
I guess your in laws are like mine. They maybe very happy just that they dunno how to express. (^_^)

elch and pillow4, yes i'm with Dr Adrian Woodworth. according to the ultrasound pic, i'm 6 weeks 4 days. must have sac is it? hmmm..
as for his package, it's $588.50 including 7%gst. includes unlimited visits (doc says about 18-20 visits), blood pressure checks, urine tests for sugar and protein, routine blood tests, ultrasounds scans done in the clinic, antenatal vitamins, postnatal visit.
oh ya, if we sign up and decided to "drop out" half way, we are supposed to pay them double! $1177 cos this is a special rate (according to the nurse). not sure abt the previous rates though. hope the above helps.

sogo,
Wow now they have a 'drop out' fine! Never heard of them having that 3 years back. It used to be $550 nett for package.
Though the ultrasound pic shows 6weeks, bear in mind that it is ultrasound so it might not have captured the sac. Don't panic. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] When's yor next visit?
I'm 5 weeks today. Still pondering if I should visit him this Fri/Sat or wait another week or 2...

feimei, i went on a "full bladder" stomach cos my sis in law warned me not to clear my bladder for ease of seeing. anyway doc says that it's normal so asked me to go back in 2 weeks. didn't offer v scan though. maybe he saw that i was quite nervous when he did the ultrasound on me? cos my hands were clasped tog.. haha...
tze, was it painful when you did the v scan?
Et2008, sorry to hear that. hope the next pregnancy will be smoother. take care.

elch, the amt is $550 written on the paper, but not inclusive of gst, so i suppose now the biz is better, that's why it's no longer $550 nett? hehe. thanx for your comforting words. my next visit is on 29 nov (2 weeks from now).
if you are excited about it, feel free to go at 5 weeks. however most mummies told me "no need to go so early one". around 7 weeks also can. is it your #1?
feimei, maybe my ultrasound scan is not so gd? cos my hubby commented that the machine seems abit old. haha. hope to see more things in 2 weeks [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

elch,
when i'm at my 5th wk, i could only see a sac but not the hb so i went back again after 10days so confirmed that my sac has a hb. And could tell you that the 10 days seems so long cos we were worried. So maybe you might want to wait a little longer before visiting to spare yourself from the agnoy

sogo, Tze,
This is my 2nd pregnancy. My #1 is a going 25months old cheeky boy. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Though it's not my 1st time I still feel very anxious and excited! For Dr. Woody, 1st consultation fees can be offset from package once we sign up so I keep hoping to go early to see that sac is at right place and etc...

audrey,put powder. else, u can spray the evian spring water (the one with white bottle and orange writing one). that always work for me when i have itch cos it is cooling. spray a few more times and it will "numb" it. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
