Elizis: I also had spotting during the early weeks. I think that was just after I conceived because I drank a lot of Chinese tea.
So I rushed to the KKH 24 hr O&G clinic. But it was so traumatic. First visit because my hormone level was not enough, they had to draw blood. The doctor could not draw any blood after poking me 3 times. And so suggested to draw blood from my pulse. Imagine my horrified face.
They also didn't tell me what to take note or be careful of, neither did they prescribe hormone pills.
Until my 2nd visit, we walked in to see a doctor with a black face, and impatient tone as we asked further questions. She made me worried for weeks if this could be an ectopic pregnancy.
I would say give KKH a miss, and go to other private doctors if budget allows. A peace of mind beats everything during pregnancy

Hi Faithe,
My impression of A/P Han is that he's quite rushed. Perhaps it's because he got a lot of patients, that's why we normally only spend 15 mins or so with him.
I think he's quite a receptive doc cos when I went for my 2nd appt with him, I told him I wouldn't want a V-scan again and he was nice enough to try with abdomen scan first when I insisted. Lucky BB was cooperative and managed to do a abdomen scan instead.
My hb find him a bit gan jeong and wondered if he'll be like this when I eventually give birth. But think cos both my hb and I are the more relaxed kind, might be good to have a doc who's more gan jeong ba.
He's also quite humourous and would crack jokes when he has the luxury of time.
Think just relax and see how your first appt is like on Wed first?

@cherie: I share your sentiment. My first preggy is with KKH. But this place just fails me this time as I finally experience the screw up of the O&G my self! (I never went O&G during my last preggy).
@Jos_Jos: What makes you think that your preggy will be complicated? Unless you opt for subsidized class, the rate differences betwn private KKH and private practicing OB will be only slight (Just done my research). There are many gd private OBs charging reasonable rates. But their queues are longer. Well KKH queues are neither better. I bet u experienced it before.

Hi faithe,
I don't have a chinese pot but bought a huge chinese bowl, overturn a rice bowl inside and cling wrap the bowl and steam in normal pan. Works fine so far.
I was feeling tiredness for the past few weeks and think the pure chicken helps to cope with that. It's worth the effort.

Good morning mummies,
Any of u suffering from allergic rhinitis b4 preggy and worsen now after preggy? Been having blocked nose and kept sneezing last 2 nights, kept me awake for a few hrs of precious sleep having to breathe thru my nose.
I also have pregnacy rhinitis during 1st pregnancy, but started later I think. This time round can feel the sypmtoms alot faster!

Hi mommies,
I haven't been active in this forum as I am feeling tired and still vomiting.
Visited my Gynae last sat and told him about my lost of appetite and vomit. He prescribed me with a different folic acid and iron pills. It actually helped a little. For mommies who are suffering too, might want to check out with your Gynae.
My mense came 7/3 but Gynae said my due date is 18th Dec. I will be delivering at GlenE since I had my first there.
Can anyone add me in FB? [email protected]
Thanks

Hi Piggy
Yeah we enrolled the moment I knew abt the pregnancy because we were quite concerned abt the logistics after bb is born so we quickly scouted for an infant care and visited the place as well. We liked what we saw and we paid the deposit on the spot. The subsidy we will apply through some forms when bb is born.

Hi Chyi
we were worried we couldnt get a place thats y we were super kiasu
but you can visit the place first, talk to the P about the ratio of teachers to infants, ask about the trained teachers' ratio and turnover rates of the teachers, observe how the infants and toddlers look (whether they look clean and well changed and happy) and decide when you reach 12 weeks

Hi Chyi
My EDD is supposed to be 12th Dec but cos my two older ones were born through C section, my third will have to be C sect too. My gynae says have to do it two weeks earlier in case I wait till last minute and my water bag breaks, I have contractions and bb is ready to come out natural, then if the stitches split there will be more complications.
How are you holding up so far?

chyi, c-sec if not less pain. in fact it is more pain! the recovery rate is slower than natural. for my first kid, i did normal birth, the second kid i did c-sec. normal birth, u can be up and walking by the next hour, but c-sec, i had to walk like a grandmother with an arched back
