@Li33ie dun worry its normal. I feel very emotional too. If you are not comfortable with your gynae . Do look for another one. We need to feel relax and comfy
My friends and I have bad experience with Dr Adrian too
I am seeing Dr Benjamin. Super gentle, patience and nice guy. My hb prefer him too
Actually I am thinking abt changing gynae also.. too bad my hb is very supportive of dr adrian as my delivery went well.
My water broke 2 weeks before edd and was admitted to Mt A for monitoring. We requested to be induced against Dr Adrian's wishes as he said i actually can wait it out as stats are normal. End up labour 14 hrs still didnt dilate. Epidural only worked on my right side so i had to undergo GA. was up the next day walking. Stiches healed well so no complaints there.
However i know dr adrian is anti VBAC. So im considering dr tham or dr tseng to seek 2nd opinion. My hb is against my having vbac also.
Thanks slchua and ConyBear for the advices.
ConyBear, totally understand how you feel. Today whole day, i was trying not to gag at work and even though my stomach feel hungry, I dont have appetite for much things. Can only try to take small bites.
I just called another Dr, wanna change to another one for my 2nd visit. The nurse also mentioned they only prescribed folic acid n it will b enough. But since im on multivit, i will just finish it. different dr, different handling but they sure know their stuff
Thanks for your assurance.
Which gynae did you call? I am wondering if I should pay another gynae a visit and compare. Since this is my no1, i have no comparison and scare I just gong gong.
I switched to wireless and bigger ones the moment i found out. Uniqlo has nice wireless ones. Cheaper than those sold at maternity shops.

Just sharing of what I have been told too.
Can heed @witch advice, if u hav any particular hosp in mind ald can narrow down ur search.
Initially dun1 to compare n just go to Dr Adrain becos my sis/frens all went to him. First visit went to Dr Adrain and done in 5mins after queuing for ard 1hr. Im quite keen to visit Dr CK Tho (enthu natural birth) and v near to my house. Reviews r he is patient etc but I will have to see n feel that for myself... u hav any in ur list now?
I don't really have any particular hospitals in mind. Actually I won't mind going KK but I heard many horror stories thus I will probably go to the private hospitals. Currently thinking about trying Dr Benjamin Tham but am afraid that I am not so comfortable with male gynae. Will think about it again.
@ConyBear
my own experience: wait very long and only see him for few mins. man of little words. Dun even hows baby developing inside. He nly scan and show u scan and tell me when next check. never take my blood pressure whenever i see him. my #1 was emer csec. no water fluid. straight away ask me admit at 6 plus. only came after he finish his appointment at 9 plus. Decide for me to put me on GA. I cant even choose induce or choose epi so hb can be inside with me. I woke up crying as it was painful like hell. End up i only carry my gal the next morning. felt so lousy. scar took 3 months plus to be less painful. Scar is long and ugly
Many of my friends and hb's friend all didnt choose him for their #2 and #3. They have their own bad experience.
Of coz he has his supporters too.
But its definately a no no for me and my friends.
Yes heard of it too.hi queenbee24,
i have just booked my first appt with dr heng too. i heard that she is a accurate. my sis engaged her too. but she say she can be very rushy. dun expect her to say alot of things. must always prepare questions to ask her.

The consultant fee for a AP is $146++ n i ever stayed in the 1 bedded ward for 1 week before, so far so good. Room is spacious with a nice view and nurses are caring.Actually KK is the most equipped hosp for delivery and e price for private ward (not sure if my term is correct) price can be as much as TMC...
hello all mommies. it's my first and im kinda lost now.. just checked yesterday and was given folic acid, utrogestan, and was told to come back after 2 weeks. gynae was really rush and didn't explained much to me. im in my 8th weeks now!
really need advice ya.
Hi LeenNn, normally the gynae won't explain much and they give very standard textbook answer only. I learnt much more from the mummies here.hello all mommies. it's my first and im kinda lost now.. just checked yesterday and was given folic acid, utrogestan, and was told to come back after 2 weeks. gynae was really rush and didn't explained much to me. im in my 8th weeks now!

I agree. A normal visit is usually very fast. In fact for me I like fast visits. It means everything is progressing as usual.Hi LeenNn, normally the gynae won't explain much and they give very standard textbook answer only. I learnt much more from the mummies here.
That's why if I could, I won't mind to go and see the gynae once a month.
Only when it's during the 11th week onwards, they will ask u to opt for tests like Oscar, Harmony then 20th week for the detailed scan.
Some gynaes will prescribe iron, calcium and DHA oil from the 14th week onward which I hate it.
me.. am weraing tube bra nowadaysIs anyone starting to feel discomfort with almost all their bras?
so disapoointed i missed out everything. our #1Before u realised, its over n u woke up ald -_-
yes adrian super anti vbac.. think it waste his timeActually I am thinking abt changing gynae also.. too bad my hb is very supportive of dr adrian as my delivery went well.

change if u are not comfyThanks for the replies. My current gynae had actually asked me to go back 2nd appointment 2 weeks later. But i really not comfortable with her. Should i inform her that i want a change in gynae?
Yup. I agree this is good.I apply palmers cocoa stretch mark cream for first preg. quite good.
Thanks Mummyof3jays!
Just hope this emo feeling doesn't last long cos can't help feeling vulnerable at times.
So glad to see more mommies here
Had a bad scare over the week, Mon suddenly heavy bleeding and drop out a fetus lookalike into the toilet bowl.. went A&E, gynae came, scan and see only 1 sac left so declare I m/c my twin. Admitted hosp and monitor the surviving twin.. slowly accepting the fact that I am left with singleton. Yest went gynae weekly checkup, scan and saw my twins again!! Both growing well Gynae said Mt A hosp a&e machine old, haha so prolly either I was having triplets and drop 1 OR it is simply a big blood clot. Phew! Emo roller coaster ride over the week, so tired..
My #1 is also a dragon girl heehee, all the mommies here, lets Jia You together and countdown to the end of first tri ya
Adv Happy 2015 to you all
He is worried about risk involved.. so have to seek 2nd or 3rd opinion. If im really not a suitable candidate for vbac no choice lor..If #1 csert, #2 may hav to be csert too. There is a minimum level of risk or sth, u can check with Dr Adrain.
Y ur hubby against vbac?
I used to be with Dr Jocelyn Wong, she will explain in detail with how bb is progressing, prescribe supplements and give options on further tests etc.I agree. A normal visit is usually very fast. In fact for me I like fast visits. It means everything is progressing as usual.
Sane, Dr Han doesn't believe in fish oil. I asked before. Just as well cos I cannot stand the taste. He only prescribes multi vits and calcium tablets.
Hi SLChuaHi! I have the same Edd too and this is also my #2. How old is your #1?
Merry xmas to all mummies and good health to us and our little ones!
Hi Dreytan,Hi SLChua
My first is coming 1 year this January. Their gap is kinda close. Dunno how i gonna cope? What abt u?
Hi welcome! I just want to encourage u. My friend has a 9 yr old, 6 yr old and 17 month old. Today she was telling us how she relies on her 9 year old to help her out. Sometimes when she needs help she will ask her 9 year old to help hold the small one for a while. Or when they are out and she needs to navigate while driving she will ask the 9 year old to help check google maps. So the huge age gap may be a good thing too!Hi all,
I have been silently reading this thread since I got know that I'm pregnant on 1st Dec. I'm currently preggie with #2 and #3 with the help of SO-IUI, my eldest daughter is turning 8 yo in 3 months time. I know it's a huge age gap but what to do since I have ttc for 5.5 years with 3 failed SO-IUI & 2 failed IVFs.
For my #1, pregnancy was not an easy one with ms starting from 7 weeks until I gave birth to her. This time round, my morning sickness kicked in at 5 weeks plus and it has been super miserable. I'm just past 8 weeks and I have not reported to work since the 6th week scan and I have lost 4 kg. I'm running out of ideas for meal time and snacks that I can stomach.
I seek comfort in this forum to look forward to the first trimester, etc etc.

What have u tried for snacks and meal times so far?
Hi, can understand your ms woes. mine striked at 5+ weeks too. I dont get interested in food anymore and feel so sad. Sometimes i need to see the food before me then can know i "want" to eat or not. Keep feeling nausea/gagging at work since I went back to work. I see people enjoying feasts to celebrate end of the year, I feel very sad.
I am grateful for this chance to have a baby and i don't mind all these as long as baby is safe n healthy. Just tat the ms (not confined to morning somemore) makes me rather depressed.
We jia you together. Hopefully end of first trimester comes soon and we can all enter safety zone.
How about anti nausea med? It worked for me.Hi piggling, I applaud u that u still can go to work in this condition. Luckily, my female boss is totally understanding as she has seen my bad ms for my #1. My gynae already warned me that the ms for this round will be worst cos having twins.
I rmb that for my #1, my appetite is slightly better by 16 weeks. I gave to tahan til then.

Sounds like u really tried out a lot of snacks.
hello... i've heard abt dr ck tho, my friend is seeing him currently. I tot his charges are alright and he also has a package? I've not read much reviews abt him too, so that's why i'm not choosing him...All mummies... need some advice here >. <
Have u all heard of Dr CK Tho and Dr Ben Choey? Both clinics located at West side. Althou im more keen on Dr Tho but his charges quite put me off abit. Hope to know more reviews from u all here too.

jiayou to those having ms... ugh... hate that pukish feeling!! =(
happy 2015!!!
Hi, yes prescribed by gynae. I had severe vomitting for a few days so I told him and he prescribed it. I only take it if I feel really bad. My sis in law also took anti nausea med cos she had very bad ms. Perhaps you can discuss it with your gynae?What kind of anti nausea med did u take? Is it prescribed by your gynae?
Dr Han has 7 kids. Certainly experienced lol.
But his waiting times quite scary.
I agree gynae must be someone u trust and feel secure with. Have to see the same face for so many months!!
Happy new year to all!
