(2011/12) Dec 2011

No yallo. dun see now unless u have spotting or cramps esle u be wasting $$$. U can see when its 7wks up.

i just saw my gynae. scheduled 20th but cant wait cos need to see the little egg in womb then be relieved. Overall seen doc 3 times till now. damage: 280 + 100 + 226= 606. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 


Faintz so expensive??? I thought consultation is approx $60? No? Wah then better reschedule liao [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] thanks for the info, bunny!



Btw this 7 wks is count from start of last period? Or count from estimated ovulation date?

 
Yallo, yes it's count from ur start of last period. And consultation is $60 but scan is charged separately. So the bill will come up to bout $110 - $130 each time.

 
Hello... I was also tested positive last week!! Actually i tested twice previously coz I am having the symptones and miss menses but negative. Keep having cramps but menses never came and cramp got worse so decided to KKH 24hr clinic.. took blood test and tested positive.



have you all fix your gynae?? i heard we don't have to fix so soon right? Any gynae recommended for east shore?? and anything we should take note and avoid??



also, anyone knows if we can travel during pregnancy?? i haven't gone for my honeymoon! =(

 
Hi Jac



congrats.. yes.. dun have to fix gynae so early.. abt 6 or 7 weeks then can see.. if too early can't see anything unless u have spotting.. like myself i have spotting before i test +ve..



u staying at the east? me is seeing Dr Heng from Parkway East. She is friendly but very pack.. must book her in advance.



when u gog travel? as long as the gynae cfrm the pregnancy is stable then travelling is no issue.. i oso gog holiday in june...

 
no.. mine is ex becos i went KK 24-hr. (it was a sunday then).

u can use internet calculator to calculate ur weeks. my estimation is based on 1)clearblue digital and 2)i did have a little spotting during conceive time (i guess) hence i have estimated im ard 7wk now.

Hi Jacq, i guess u shld rest more since u have cramps. thats what i was told. if cramps persist see ur gynae!

 
hi all!

Tested +ve this morning and starting having cramps feeling today too... was wondering when shld i start making appt to see gynae? i shld be in the 4th week now... Is it better to see early just to be make sure everything is alright? or wait till 5-6wks? cos with my first child i had to see immediately cos of sharp cramps but this time it's still normal crampy feeling...



Strange, i am happy but at same time mixed cos i feel bad/sad that i'll spend less time with my first child... do any 2nd time mummies feel this way?

 
2boysmummy, does dr heng has a clinic?? how advance do we need to confirm??

i havent plan yet but i foresee that there will be no chance to travel to the next 2 years so i really hope i can go this year... but i have heard hat it can be very tiring... where will you be travelling to? june should be 2nd trimester le right?



bunny, u also went kk 24hr clinic?? ex meaning your 1st visit there???

no use.. i went kkh 24hr clinic because of bad cramp and no menses.. i usually only have cramps on my 1st day of menses but this stupid cramp lasted for weeks! i have seen doc but they say its normal.. o_O no choice.. can only suffer...



btw, are you gals feeling very tired easily now?? after half day of work, my batt is already halfed. and by the end of the day, exhausted!!! also do u all experience pain and the breast and pelvic area ( i think.. coz its the side of your lower abdomen).

 
hi, yes dr heng has a clinic at bedok n parkway east hospital. if u wan to see her, you can start too book her now.. i see her at bedok coz after testing +ve, i got spotting and i call the nurse immediately so they arrange to fit me in.. of coz have to wait lor.. she is friendly but she dun talk much unless u ask her questions.. if u stay at bedok, you can see her at bedok which is easily.. she has nite clinic on Mon and Wed...



as for travel, i will be gog taiwan coz i book the trip b4 i pregnant.. me will be more tiring coz i bringing my 2 boys along..



me feel tired nowsaday.. i wake up few times in the nite.. morning after breakfast, my eyes can't open.. n now after lunch, eyes almost close.. have to go toilet n rest a while..



as for pain, i have back pain. nothing much.. but i do feeling giddy.. i feel giddy almost everyday and worried that i will faint while walking...

 
congratz cloud!!

i heard some gynae wun see patients until a certain period right?? or u might wanna visit your regular gynae??

 
Hi Jac, congrats too [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Yep will be visiting same gynae, prob i'll call clinic later and ask the nurse when is right time to schedule for appt...

 
hi all mummies, if i am lucky i also will be one of the mummies in this thread but i m/c.



would like to recommend Dr A L Lim from TMC. He is a male gynae but he is really very nice and gentle. If dun mind, can try but his clinic is very crowded. Have to wait for hours....

 
2boysmummy, yes yes!! very giddy and sometimes have a bit of double vision!!!



cloud, gd luck!!! hope u can schedule appt.. somehow, we will feel safer right??



gosh, seems like i am suffering more as compared to you all although i do not have spottings.. pains here and there... giddy.. tired...



catherine, sorry but what is m/c? new to all the terms...

i can't seem to eat anything i like... wat home cooked food u prepare? u SAHM or FTWM?



Jac, how? u managed to get anyone?

 
Hi Dec mummies,



Tested positive and confirmed preggy by GP on Sun. Still shopping for gynae. Anyone has recommendations for gd female gynae at Glen E?



So far, no MS, just nausea and very tired. Super hungry but feel bloated after eating...



Happened to be on leave this week as going overseas this Fri. GP say can travel if I dont have any spotting or unusual pain. Wonder if I can tahan the long working hours though when I resume work :p

 
Hi everyone, I'm a first time and am currently 6 weeks. Saw a gynae yesterday, managed to detect baby's heartbeat but too small at 4mm (supposed to be 5-6mm for 6weeks) [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Doctor didnt explain much, in fact he was rather silent during the scan then shown me an article on m/c thereafter. So nerve wrecking! Then he put me on Utrogestan 100mg which I read only bleeding/spotting MTBs take but im not bleeding or spotting. Really not sure what to make out of the whole thing. I wasn't even informed of my EDD till I saw the date on the scan >.<

 
Not sure if its because I was sick then had food poisoning that made baby smaller.. So sad [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Hi all,

wow looks like more first time mummies to be here!



Jac, hope u managed to call gynae already. Better to have a scan check... take good care.



2boysmummy, how abt something light like oats?



kimiko, maybe u wanna consider another gynae if u're not comfortable with him.

 
hi kimiko congrats... no worry coz still too early..



but i think u should change gynae.. think he not responsible enough to explain matter with you.. who u seeing? consider to change.. if not u have to stick with him for the 30 plus weeks...

 
Hi kimiko,



Care to share who's the gynae? Perhaps can give him a call to clarify?



My GP told me now abit too early to see gynae to scan (not so accurate) and actual EDD depends on size. Which means the baby can still catch up?



GP only gave me folic acid and calcium/multi-vit for now. Maybe other MTBs can advise on the utrogestan.



Dont stress yourself too much and enjoy the pregnancy (though not easy!) [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Kimiko: Aiyoh who's your gynae? That sounds rather irresponsible of him. I thought doctors are supposed to reassure their patients instead of scaring them even more! >< Yeah I think you should probably try another gynae. 9 months is going to be a long journey, so it's quite important to make sure it's someone you're comfortable with!



Tangerine: I scheduled appt with him this Sat but thinking of pushing back 2 more weeks, coz now is only wk 5-6, maybe too early and won't be able to see anything then my husband will complain I waste money haha.



Oh yes, my sister also told me to take folic acid. Apparently it's quite important as it reduces the chances of baby spinal cord not developing properly... Can get from Guardian or Watsons, one pill a day.

 
Thanks cloud942, 2boysmummy and stardust25 for your responses.

I'm seeing Dr Loke Kah Leong at Tampines. I heard he's the best gynae in this area so I thought I went there since its nearby as well. My hubby thought he was eccentric though I just think he was being too distant. Frankly speaking if there weren't any heartbeat detected and I'm faced with this problem, I'll be very worried. Thank god, the heartbeat is detected though we weren't able to hear it. However, I'm not sure which gynae to go to as the good ones I heard are all quite far away and I'm already having the nauseousness and giddiness kicking in.



Any recommendations of gynaes and hospitals? I have not decided who and where to go to..

 
oats? i took with milo this morning but pour away almost half cup..



i prefer salty things.. so tmr will go buy some tibits n put on my desk to munch...



yes, folic acid is the most impt now.. must remember to take every day...

 
yallo: He made it sounded like its part and parcel of life. That may be the truth but no MTBs would like to hear it like that.



2boysmummy: Can we eat tidbits still? I have been craving for that but my hubby forbids me to eat >.< Speaking of which, I understands that we are not supposed to take a number of stuffs like raw food, some seafood high in mercury and so on. When my hubby asked Dr Loke what I'm supposed to avoid. Guess what he said? He replied whatever that doesn't poisons me will not poison the baby. In my heart I was thinking 'ya right'..

 
y cannot eat? as ur gynae say as long u dun get poison d baby is fine...



but eat in moderate.. dun overeat... i oso have the craving for tibits just that too tired n giddy, no appetite to eat...

 
kimiko, yes dont take raw food and deep sea fish, as advised by my gynae in my first preg. Hmm maybe u shld look for another gynae i feel... he doesnt seem that nice and patient enough to explain things.

 
Hi kimiko,



It's my first time too n I'm also in my 6th week plus dunno how many days cos doc didn't say. My edd is 2 dec. I went for scan on sat at Kkh n my gynae showed me my bb scan on screen n said it's 3mm n its shimmering shows it's heartbeat. I was like 'is 3mm in the healthy range???" I asked him twice!! And he told me 'yes! U hv to trust me!"



I hv trusted him since n I hope he's right! ;)) otherwise, my scenario is worse than yrs. I hv been prescribed w folic acid n duphaston whose is typical of first tri, n food to avoid will be all cooling stuffs like chin cao, all herb tonic (too early), raw fish, raw /semi raw egg. U can type google 'food to avoid during pregnancy n a list should appear.



Pls do see a second gynae for 2nd opinion. I think hv heartbeat is a strong signal, everything would be fine ;))
