I took 4-bedded at KKH for #1.. paid around $300 in cash for my stay after CPF medisave. The ward is renovated and nice. But this time round i told my hubby i die die want to stay 1 bedded from the bed experience i had. my hubby initially tried to persuade me to go for 4-bedded again (i dunno y KKH dun have 2 bedded for maternity package), but i told him either he pay for 1 bedded or it's engaging a CL. He so scared of the high cost of CL he rather give in to my request.
For #1, i had check-in the delivery ward at 12am after waterbag broke, delivered by 8am and was send up to the ward around 9am. There was only a patient in the 4-bedded room but because it's a Malay mummy (sorry, I'm not discriminating), there was the extended lot of family members visiting. It was quite noisy and imagine after 8hrs of labour and hoping to rest, instead there are disturbance (it's actually from the kids who came along as they were running around). Back them there was only 2 visiting hours session so it's like enduring twice the disturbance from the kids in that day. She had the baby roomed-in too (so expect some crying from the baby, this was ok la) but she was discharged the next day.
Day 2, there was also a preggie mum who checked in, not to give birth but i tink she was pending an operation from her gynea for a cyst. She was so inconsiderate when she visited the toilet in the room, instead of holding on the toilet door and closing it softly, she simply let the door slam shut each time (it's ok in the day but in the middle of the night it's the same). she even on the tv so loud that i can hear it really clearly. She's foreigner, tink from Myanmar. really nitemare!

Should I arrange an earlier date with gynae? Dilemma...
Congrats to all mummies!
I just tested positive last wednesday and my LMP was 11jan.
This is my very first time.
I feel discomfort on my abdomen n cramp ....
Is it normal?
Any good female Gynae to recommend? I feel more comfort with female
tried to make appointment with dr goh Shen li but earliest available date is 4april...
And I m a coffee, teh-c lover. Now I hav to stop all.
Is it ok to drink chilled/ cold drinks now? Like chilled milk? M drinking Dutch lady now which does not need to b chilled... Hmm...

Kayliz, I got one blocked tube... dunno if I shud chk earlier everything ok anot leh... feel very worried.
was biting happily on a Flor earl grey chocolate cake when i tasted banana.. true enough i found some banana cream paste plus 1/3 length of a banana which seems the del monte type. puked out the banana cream paste though some already swallowed. a little bite of banana should be ok right?
anyone got cravings? i am always craving for spicy food especially curry!!! when i had #1 also same case and i could eat chilli padi in all my food. usually it is too spicy for me. i suddenly craved for that 2 weeks ago which i felt strange, that's why for fun i go test and saw my BFP!
Bluberi : yup you are right. Those bananas very "liang". The reason as if eat too much bb next time come out might have fits. This is wat is heard fr the older generation.
Reikohopes : if you are reli worried go n book an appt with gynae first at least see the sac first.. gynae will prescribe an tai medi for u if u said u feel discomfort. My 1st appt today aso cannot hear hb got to wait next appt. But gynae gave mi medi to stabilise my pregnancy. I feel more assured lah..

For fresh milk, I dun drink chilled... I warm it before drink...
As for bananas, cannot eat d del monte types cos v liang... If wanna eat papayas also must eat those ripe ones...
For my last preg, older generation often told me cannot eat crabs else later baby come out be ones v mischievous... I guai guai endure for 9 months n see my hb eat infront of me!!!! Well... So d verdict is untrue!!!! I m not gonna avoid crabs for this pregnancy man!

My cousin also recommended me Lisa Chin! But her cost quite high according to her.... Still considering kk as cheaper.
But bcos I tried to make appointment under some female gynae lik Dr goh, Dr watt win fong, etc, all of them r fully booked until April, so I book Lisa Chin for my first check nxt week! Quite worry bcos I feel quite pain everyday...
Hmm.. Me too no cravings I think, but when eat beef noodles, n pork, feel lik to puke...
N seems lik alot of things are no -no to preggies har?
What shd we eat now to ensure be can grow well ya? As is my first time, so quite worry I ll harm my bb....

Hi mummies
Congratulations
I tested postive a week ago. Around 5 weeks and had an ultrascan. I could only see an empty sac. Didnt think much of it until I started to read and surf the forum. I realised should at least see a yolk sac but mine is just a black hole in the scan. I am vry worried but the next scan is 2 weeks later. I can hardly wait.
At the start, I was feeling vry nausea but not now. But so far, no bleeding (touch wood).
Should I go and see my gynae earlier? I will be 6 weeks tom. TIA

Hi Shinshin: I heard many good reviews abt Lisa Chin, if ure comfy n have trust in her.. I think the $$ spent will be worth it la.. I agree she's a lil bit pricey but not really v huge diff compared to other Pte clinics I think??
Silly gal, I will make an apptment earlier with gynae juZ to have peace of mind lor..

Hi Kayliz n Littlefren,
So u gals gonna postpone ur trip?
It's early April so dun think third trim is over yet. Now still considering if I shd cancel the trip. Really wanted to go on this trip thou since it is a family trip.
Yet to book my CL, think I will ask arn after 3mths too. When everything is more stable.

Shin shin, think moderation is d key word... We are just being more cautious n each individuals differs... Some preggers no matter eat how liang stuff n whatever food, they are v smooth during pregnancy while some can't tk it... This is based on each individual's health constitution... No hard n fast rule
But I believe in take things easy, eat n rest well...
Meanwhile just be a queen for d next 9 months cos after that we will be demoted to be a maid... Wahaahaha... Jus a joke! Doesn't apply to everyone though..

Silly gal, your gynae told u it's an empty sac ? Sometimes d gynae wun bother to tell us there is yolk sac etc till we ask... So u might hv d yolk sac but jus that gynae din mention...
If u wanna be more assured. Perhaps can go for a check next Friday... By then should be able or not able to detect heartbeat unless u r pretty sure of your ovulation dates... Sometimes our dates can be a little out thus can't see anything during d scan yet...
I read before that dr Lawrence Ang is good n delivers in mt A

Skysim, I already postponed my trip cos it's suppose to happen on 22 feb. better to seek gynae opinion n if your gynae suggested no, rem to get a memo fr him for claims. Cos I had only bought air tickets n Heng it was exchanged thru points so can just change date w no penalty.
Bb Chloe, so funny but so apt!!!!! Queen for 9m n demoted to maid! N cow too!!!!! Lol!

Do you mummies think it is all right to announce that you are preggy during your 1st trimester? I heard better be safe than sorry. I can tell my parents-in-law can't contain their excitiment and may leak out anytime soon.
My 1st gynae check will be in week 9 going 10. Do you think is too late? I see that some of you here are visitng gynae at week 6 already...
It's my #1...so asking very basic questions

Jv, some ppl are pantang but this is my 2nd preg Liao n plus tummy can't hide so when ppl asked I jus smile... Close ones I will announce... If u dun feel easy, jus tell your in laws to keep mum... Tell them u pantang.
I goes to my gynae at 5 weeks due to my complication in my last preg... Bleeding etc.. So I went to get support pills first...
If u dun see red or pain (touch wood) can wait till 7-8 weeks then visit gynae cos by then can see n hear heartbeat. Time to start taking folic acid too... Can get from unity... 5mg type...
