<font color="0077aa">canopyhaze</font>, your amnio express is extra $400 right?
<font color="0000ff">purple</font>, prenatal massage depends on the masseur. some says 3 mths some say 4 mths. some will depend if its ur first or 2nd, 3rd child. i started mine (its my 3rd child) when i am 12 weeks. but i didn't do any massage for my #1 and #2.
<font color="ff6000">piyoz</font>, i applied for FBI for first baby. cos that time got credit card promo and it was around $100 and i will get the $100 room rebate anyway. so figured worth it. so i geuss for u, check if ur gynae is on the list to have discounts (mine isn't), ur room choice etc..see if worth it bah...if u keen on the bag, ask to see the bag first see if u like it. i am sure there are other nice diaper bags on sale outside...

jarol, I think i posted previously. In order for you to enjoy 5% off Dr Tseng's delivery fee, have to sign up before 1 June 2012 (I actually signed up before then cos I wanted to get the disc). Dr Tseng has a notice in his clinic. I don't think they update the hardcopy so frequently.

<font color="0000ff">Greeting to all… been away for many days, dun think I coul ever catch up with the fast flowing posts. Been really sick the whole of last week, vomiting, fever,cough,blocked nose. Then again, I’m still stuck with all these now, except I feel more ‘alive’ to be able to finally come to work. Currently in my 10th week, I really hope the MS/ADS goes away real soon. I really missed eating all my fav food ‘properly’ without vomiting, miss eating happily. Eating has become such a chore and a miserable thing to do….. </font>

You asked about Dr AnnTan? She is very glam one, does aesthetic too if I'm not wrong she used to be the head of o&g at sgh
Guess she's a doc who looks for perfection in everything she does, in beauty and in child . Different strokes for different folks. I was supposed to go under her coz just couldn't get through douglas ong. When I finally got thru, cancelled my appt with her. I chose my gynae based on one thing he mentioned "we love babies. We love life. Please do not ask me to perform an abortion."
So I guess your beliefs also must align to the beliefs of your gynae.
Wendy
All the best for your amnio!
In fact, all the best to all the mummies who are in this season of tests!
Dreams
Yesterday I dreamt that at week 13, the bb was only 8.7mm. Didnt grow at all! The doc was grim and everything was so bleak! Iyo I woke up and couldn't get to sleep after that. Then it occurred to me sigh who can tell where the 'safe' zone is. After week 13? After week 24? After birth? After 2 years? I can have the best Oscar results, best delivery, best postnatal care... Then maybe at 2 my child is diagnosed with ASD?
Argghh not trying to be bleak. But really our lives are not in our hands!

Josky: If bottled essence of chicken has hormones, then i better not drink so much le. How about buying chicken for tonic soup, better to get kampung chicken right? Dunno whether black chickens have growth hormones or not also?
Karen: hope u will recover soon. I agree, now I don't enjoy eating too, dread the nauseous feeling after eating. Miss eating heartily.
Fullhouse: There are always things to worry, we can only take one step at a time & not think too much of the unknown.

Waterbirth
You have to engage a doula. The gynae will be at side to supervise. Tmc and nuh does it, but nuh has two huge jacuzzi tub for it. I've seen it, it's impressive. At tmc you have to rent the rubber tub from your doula to do it. Having doula and water birth is good but costs more, like 2-3k for doula service.
Paul tseng works with 4trimesters under gennie pang, think I got her name wrong. Google and email her to find out more

Friends: huh? Really? I saw on the receipt that the test is deducted off from the package discount leh. Then the slip of orange paper to TMC states bill to clinic.... So assume from it. Maybe I better call the clinic to check. If really need to pay $350, then I must apply SBI card before the test.
So expensive test!!! I didn't know!!!!!

NUH, Alvernia and TMC does it. TMC also has a tub, but only in Delivery Room #6 (i hope i rem the number right). Its quite big too. I did enter it during labour with my #1, but didn't really like it. And yah Ginny Pang owns Four Trimesters, which advocates totally natural birth e.g. hypnobirthing and waterbirths. Usually moms with does natural labour either engages a doula or get the hubby to be the doula. but gynae has to be supportive. My hubby was my doula heeeee.

TMC FBI/SBI card :
Can I sign up when I'm there for my OSCAR and enjoy the discount immediately?
Water Birth :
My friend just gave birth at Mount Alvenia via water birth last Dec. Gynae is Paul Tseng. I was told that you cannot take any drugs or gas, so you have to bear with the pain while giving birth in the tub.

friends: Mine is Package P6 - OSCAR + FA scan @ 20 weeks. So yes, include 20 week scan.
Tigress: I just emailed them to ask. They said, yes, can activate card same day as scan. But need to apply card 30 min before appointment time. I just applied online. Cos the clinic assistant told me it's first come first serve at the TMC level 4. Good to go at 8am when it is not too crowded. Don't think the SBI is opened at 7.30am. So I just applied online.
DoReMi: There are a few options for the detailed scan. Depends on which package your gynae wants you to take.

Jo: Detailed scan done by the staff at TMC level 4. Think saw all ladies..... They will then provide report to gynae.
My very first gynae had his own sonographer. So the detailed scan was done at his clinic, first by the sonographer, then he comes over to review and comment on the scan.
Takes quite long. At least half an hour. Depending on the posture of your baby and whether baby decides to cooperate.

hi mummies, went for oscar yesterday.. result of the measurement is ideal.. ard 1.3mm.. now gotta wait and see if blood test is okay.. review this friday..
re: chicken essence
oh no.. been dependent on it for the last few weeks.. hope it doesn't do much damage to baby..
daisybuttons, was given 3 days MC plus a weekend to rest.. yup, the wait was painful.. but i'm glad this time the measurement is good.. last time, measured was 3+mm..
canopyhaze, no news from fabbie.. hope she's ok to join us back here..
piyoz, re: piles. i totally understand ur pain.. I had piles earlier and recovered.. but just gotten yeast infection and yesterday gotten my piles back..
so terrible to have both at the same time.. pain and itchy.. argh.. btw, dun take piles medication coz it may contain steriod. There's this cream which my gynae gave, just apply on the piles area.. maybe u can check with ur gynae or GP? but not as effective as those bullet steriods where u insert inside..
Karen, take care.. your health sounds quite bad.. try to take more fruit juice.. build up immune system..
re: oscar cost
not sure abt detailed scan, but the cost for oscar at 1st trim 12 wks(only oscar, no detailed scan) at TMC is $298, then discount of $29.80 for FBI/SBI card. I gotta this discount yesterday with my FBI (it's still valid from my #1 till Sep 12, which I can use for this test).
