#2 - Yah lor. Glad that I joined this thread earlier than I had wanted to. Now I really know how ill-disciplined I've been. Will need to have better self-control.



Kelly - I'm turning 32 this year. Not exactly young but high risk mainly due to medical conditions, not age. Which gynae are you seeing?



Muffin - Read simbaobao's blog! See her photos above in one of her posts. Her food look very appetising [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 


Kelly, if you got hypertension, it's best to monitor your blood pressure at home daily....

Cos the risk of pre-eclampsia will be high...

 
Muffin (muffinger) : i hv cravings for guvava .. i never used to like it so much before i gt preg... also sum specific Indian food which i hv nt eaten in ages ... but used to eat a lot wen i ws young

 
Yeah.... I had been diligently taking blood pressure even before i'm preg... Kiasi...hehe...i'm on medication, so condition is well controlled, cos i'm only marginally hypertensive [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. Haha... Seriously i dun really know the price... But my fren told me total cost for delivery is 5 k plus including those dr's fee... So i tot that's normal price?.

 
I chose doctors over hospitals, and for me, MAH is now a choice by default.



First gynae = near my place, female, been seeing her for years for menstruation issues, pap smears, fertility treatments etc. She delivers at MAH, TMC and Mount E.



Current gynae = referred by other doctor, in town area, male. My other doctor is comfy working with this doctor to monitor my condition together. He only delivers at MAH.

 
I think 1 bedder le.... And i saw online dbs card promo mt e is 3200 for 2 day stay, 1 bedder., normal delivery with epidural.. But i guess that excludes all the dr fee and etc... So i think add up also 5 k plus ya,...?

 
Kelly, that is just the bed/ward charges. Excludes a lot of things:

Extended use of delivery ward if your labour is long, baby's PD fees, vaccinations, your dr's fees, etc etc etc.

 
Okie... Wat might benefit is... They scraping the tv and radio license..which will save us 100+... they giving all adults (not sure if must be working adult or not) 600 payout this May....

 
Kyle: no worries welcome to drop by any time. Doesn't cooked as much as last time.



Lying flat on bed alrdy. I felt the world spinning. Felt my throat very itchy like a bad cough is coming n my bonesvr so sour.

I realized Everytime BB going into a new week I will feel very tired restless n spinning ...

 
Muffin, I love reading novels so I have a lot of novels to read when I'm resting. Else, I'll watch TVB dramas online :D

I also go to another forum but it's quite a small knit community there [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Went out gathering with a few mummies before... and we are so close that one of them renovated my house for me :D

 
that's nice yeh[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

i do also visit some others too but its quieter there

Kelly, I just went to read the fine prints. They now allow those previously not eligible for CDA to open. But must wait for letter from MCYS. :D Yippee! That means my boy will get the $300 - 400 :D

hi all,



Been a slient reader so far. Went to see gynae yesterday due to pink spotting and saw bb for the first time. So glad that everything is normal.



Here's my details to add to the list:

EDD: 25th Sep

Nick: Asura

BB#: 2

Gynae: Dr Joycelyn Wong

Hospital: TMC

Area: North

Occupation: FTWM



Wonder what will my birth journey be like this time. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Oh Yes!



Hi again to P3pp3r, sung, chocolate15 and jenniferchng! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Prenra, we decided not to sneak out for movies cos we were too busy trying for #2! hahaha!!



I'm quite thankful that my parents help out on weekends to give us alone time. Partially cos they miss their grandson too (we used to stay with them before he turned 2yo). So every Sat after dinner (together with my parents), my boy goes to stay with my parents and we hv the whole house to ourselves :D Then my boy will come back on Sunday night.

 
Hi all!! just had supper. Mos corn soup! Slurp. Last drank more than 2 years ago.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Welcome asura ![IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



We are set on mah cos we get turned off by tmc . Most likely will get 1 bedder. But will check w gynae.

Can tour hospital anytime?



Usually I avoid dramas n novels. Usually make me emotional plus I get headache if I watch for too long.. Only just started on the 9 pm new show.

Usually read books on mainly yoga. Or just surfing for info . now new thing to google abt. Huge n brand new topic for me.bb!![IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Meditation [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi Asura



Muffin (muffinger) : nice so i noe wat top things to look out for nxt time i go out ....for which item to compare prices



bunnz (bunnz): meditation i wish i cud do tat jus cant get myself to tat



good nite gurls

 


Prenra: anybody can meditate. Just need to get started. Can start with just 5 mins of stillness or even just by showing gratitude for everything we have. Also meditation doesn't need to be just sitting only . Walking in the park, joggin etc all can be a form of meditation. So long as u feel relaxed in any activity.
