Thanks Bearie for your advise. I also think that experience weighs far more over anything else. Gynae must be someone that I can trust to do the right thing especially if things should go wrong (touch wood).

My cousin did tell me that with Dr. Fong, you have to take his advises... he will not be too happy if you second question him. cos that means you question his experienced opinion. lol

I think you have helped me made up my mind! :) I will go with Dr. Fong too.

When do we need to start seeing the gynae?
 


Pigy > wow u reply so fast. There's a few popular gynae at KK. U might wanna find out. Btw not all baby born on edd de. My gal overdue still don't wan come out. No choice but to induce cos I got GD. Gynae say better don't wait le risky.

I agree tat need to b comfortable wif gynae. Cos all our expert advise are frm them. N we will face them thru the pregg journey. Like Dr Heng was intro by my fren too n she find her gd but not for me lor. Like fattybombom fast fast scan fast fast done. U wan ask qns, she also and u like rush train. I also felt my money not well spend. Like spend so much but see her a few min nia lol
 
hmm...wonder if I can switch to Private clinic. This friday is my first scan at the subsidised clinic...don't know if I can switch over to Dr Wee. Any idea how much is per visit?
 
<font face="Comic Sans MS">minnie, thanks for updating the table. can see the list just got longer!

i am now forever sleepy. by the time reach home from work want to pengsan. tummy feeling very bloated and trying so hard to hide from colleagues. every wkday morning headache to find suitable clothes. i don't intend to tell them so soon. all the air + post pg fats making me look like 3-4 mths pg. hahaha.

trying to find comfort food to curb nausea is so hard!! u gals found anything yet?

yun - rest well ok, and hope your new firm will be a better place

Hi ariadne
U haven't seen any Gynae yet? How long have u missed your period? Once I tested positive I made appt already but if u want to its also ok to start at 6 or 8th week?

elnarc and febie > i also have not seen gynae yet. Actually i am very tempted to go scan cos don't know how is my beanie, i didn't feel much symptoms except little nausea during evening time. Since I am only 5 weeks, I have fixed my appointment on 8 Feb, hoping could catch the heartbeat!

Littlecow > I am also like you feeling sharp pain at one side when i coughed badly. Will pray for you a sticky bean

Flubby > yup Dr wee is at KK

Pigy > ya don't rush. U can try. Den don't like change lor. N u can choose to see at clinic B. cheaper.
 
Hi Bearie,

I only missed my period last week. But period can sometimes be irregular. So at most I am 5weeks now only? What can we see on the scan so early?

When you see DR Fong, are you also 5weeks or 4 weeks?

Totally clueless. Now, I just feel tired and nausea all the time. Funny taste in my mouth also. Sigh.
 
sweet mummy > I am very glad to have your good review for Dr Wee. Besides my friend's recommendation, I also read many good review on forum by other mummies. My first appointment with him is on 8 Feb. I learned from the appointment call centre that he also see his patient on Saturday!! Woo hoo!

Esther> Does Dr Wee specialised in high risk pregnancy like high BP? My last gynae wasn't very confident about my BP complications during pregnancy and refer me to another gynae specialised in this, so end up i have to see 2 gynaes each time and paying twice the fees. I was thinking maybe she was cautious and don't want to take the risk or simply no confident to handle my complications. I hope Dr Wee is experienced with high BP issue so that I don't need to see another gyane and spend extra $$.

Hi littlecow, my next appt on 11 feb, I guess I will monitor the next few days if it cramp this way again.

Pray hard together our bbs are growing well n strong!

Hi yun, I'm on duphaston too.
 
fattybombom,
If you seem Dr adrain, he is also v similiar. consultation v fast n when I see him, I will write all question on paper else I no time to ask. He got many patient and best parts is can auto upgrade from 4 bedded to 2 bedded in TMC if under him. A lot of saving. Pay $800 deposit and get back $300++. His package $550 till before birth. Free consultation if u r unwell.

Sophie,
Why must 2 gynae? Can't change to Dr Wee only?

Ariadne
If you don experience spotting etc, can delay visit to gynae. Originally I plan to see gynae mid jan but kana spotting so have to see him early. The gynae can only use v-sac to confirm the pregnancy for you.
 
Clim - for my 1st pregnancy I had to consult 2 gynaes for each appointment due to my BP complications, but that time I was first time mummy so a bit blur and didn't feel that my main gynae is inexperienced to handle my complications, ended up I had to pay twice the fees every time. But heng my complication was managed well and I didn't suffer pre-eclampsia. For #2, I hope Dr Wee is experienced to handle high risk pregnancy so I won't need to go to additional gynae, hehe one stone kill 2 birds
happy.gif
if not, I may consider to switch to other gynae who have experienced with case like mine
 
Tomorrow my scan..this morning uncle mopped floor so wet I tripped....hope i'm still ok!
sad.gif


Been spotting now n then....hope its normal.
 
pigy, u wanna go to a normal GP or just walk in any Gynae clinic to ensure?

since you are spotting now and then, dun play play.
 
I went twice to the 24hr @ KK before when I was spotting but stupid gynae also never say anything.
sad.gif
ABit tired of going....somemore tomorrow its my scan.
 
Hi Clim, Thanks for your advise. I have no spotting at all but my MS is getting worst since yesterday. Am thinking to wait until after 8 weeks then go see gynae. Should not be too late right? I know some ppl wait until 3 months.

Pigy - Take care of yourself. Is your spotting come with pain? If it does, then better go see a doc.
 
just monitor yourself ok?
hope the fall is a mild one...
dun walk too much too...

take good care...

wow this thread is so cool...
I saw many mummies with no.3...
welcome jgal...

ching2627,

go with your heart lor...
you have any friends that make recommendation?
look up the forum too to read up on others experience...
Most importantly, most feel comfortable with your gynae.

Pigy> since your scan is tomorrow why dun you try to do a walk in today? Take care of yourself ok.

I'm feeling so sleepy now.
No appetite but have a liking for salty food. Haha now into breadtalk porkfloss bun!
I have craving for spicy food for my #1. Now salty stuff. Tsk tsk so unhealthy.
 
ching2627,

If you feel comfy with her, by all means lor...
For my case, My hubby told me strictly female gynae only... so i just go to NUH website and search for one...
luckily Gynae nice... She gave me her email and mobile number so that if I have questions anytime or problems, I can email/sms to her...

She's really nice.
happy.gif
really depend a lot on luck i think.

hope you find one you like...

Pigy: yep. Tell me about it. Double whamy. Butt and head. Why cannot go straight to clinic woh. You paid a premium price for the gyne afterall right....
 
thanks girls.

Fattybom: Yrs seem more serious got the head. Me just slipped but I managed to use my hand to stop before my butt landed on the floor. Shocked though. wonder if half day makes a difference if i go tomorrow.
 
Hiiroshima, ya agree with your hubby dun take chance. one day also makes a different,
this is god's gift, so everyone must treasure.
 
I called clinic they say clinic is full..so means I can only go to the 24hr emergency which I really hate going ...all the doctors there all lousy.haiz..
 
pigy .. maybe try another doc then..when i had spotting the other time.. doc wants to see me immediate.. esp now that you are in your 1st trim, you shld go immediately..1hr make alot of difference.

Where are you ? maybe you can visit a reliable doc nearby. It's going to be a 1-time charge. If you find the charges too high after this consultation, then u visit back kkh.

Remember to keep the receipts to claim medisave wor..
 
Any mummie with low fetal heartbeat at 6wks+ ? mine is registered at 110+.. doc is not optimistic..
 
Jgal, my bb hb at 6wk5d was also at 110 but Gynae is ok. Say will catch up later on and if you google on this, for 6week fetal hb the average is 90-110 so I think you don't worry k.
 
febie : doc prescribed utorgestan(hormo pill) and follow-up chk-up 2 wks later. He also mentioned that if i had MS, he will more assured.. But then again, for my 1st and 2nd one.. i didnt have serious ms. just keeping my finger-crossed. Dr Ong.. is very careful person.
 


thanks cj junior.. i hope everything is okay. cos' i am over 35.. so am abit more concern if the baby has abnormality..
