Ashley - nice! So nice to see bb again after so long, right? Hahaha.. Hope your next scan can see gender of the other twin. So exciti ng!!!
Vann - u feeling better? Take care, ya!
Catherine - it's ok, even if have to work late, do try to take it gently and just let go some steam. Unfortunately story of the modern mum - work but not much real support as mothers from society nor company. Take it "a bit" slower than usual
Kimmy - the new TMC floors r quite nice, got hotel resort feel. Hahaha. I've been to visit SIL @ Gleneagles premier standard. Comparing both, I find the TMC rooms much bigger, maybe coz old building. Our tour had 7 adults and 2 kids and room didn't feel that crammed, I remember when I visited my SIL & bro at GEH, 4 adult visitors and the room felt v crammed. The Standard 1-bedders are same as the premier 1-bedder in terms of size but not renovated. Unrenovated wards look like typical hospital feel - clean & clinical. But still ok. We didn't tour the 2 & 4 bedders coz it was all occupied, but I was planning to take the 1-bedder standard anyway.
TMC 1 & 2 bedder hospital charges (delivery, room, nursery etc, before GST, exclude doctors fees):
> normal w epi - 2 days: $2548 (1bedder standard) $1798 (2b) $3300 (1 bedder premier) - claim medisave $1400 hospital + $700 doctor
> LSCS w GA - 3 days: $3578 (1b STD) $2614 (2b) $4500 (1b premier) - claim medisvae $2500 hospital + $1450 Doc
> LSCS w epi - same but $100 cheaper, medisave same.
All 1b baby can room in & companion charge $75 per day including meals. If I deliver in GEH, my entire bill would be covered by company insurance but not TMC, sigh.
Am feeling v thankful today coz I asked my mum if she mind helping out in 1st month if I din get confinement lady & just order confinement tingkat and she basically said I was just waiting for you to ask coz of coz we will be there. A mother's love never ends! Even when daughter is so old Liao hahaha..
Hopeful - haha, keep voucher and buy cute bb rompers!
Tzac - Ya, I also told myself boy/girl doesn't matter as long healthy alto I know this is your #2. but doc also told me wait for detailed scan to confirm, don't go and buy all the stuff now!
Sistas, am 16+weeks and think can feel bb! Yesterday can feel like a bit movement, when I put my palm it stops, then I rub the area bit and think bb responded! Hahaha.. Also started bloating from gas so now have to eat 1/2 of everything & eat 6 or 7 times a day, sigh.. If not by end of say tummy looks like watermelon.
Kimmy/ashley/hopeful - I will prob go to the BabyFair just to look see, not buying anything yet. dH says maybe he will come along which basically means I will wait until last minute then he will say too busy u go yourself better
Ronniemini - I got the Luvion one from Mottherworks $138 so I think it's more ex than getting the angelsounds (online). It's ok easy to use but I find the hb counter is not accurate so I won't recommend unless u just want to buy one quickly & won't mind using a stopwatch. Sound & easy of use no problem but if I had to buy again, I prob won't get this coz of the price
(but it did "recoup" it's value v fast from saving me from running to gynae for scans in between scheduled scans tho! Hehehe). I think I will also use it less often from now one given that I (think!) can feel bb so less paranoid.
