Hi all, I just tested positive on being pregnant and its my first time!
Not too sure how to really go about this whole thing.
I made an appt with the gynae Dr Wong Mun That at Thomson Medical Clinic (Bukit gombak), any one has any review on him?
And anyone can advice what is the reasonable rates for consultation fees?
I am also deciding on which hospital to deliver in, as finance is one of priorities too, but at the same time we also want the best for our bb.
Is anyone able to advice me on the total bill size of the different hospitals,if you have researched on?
Thanks so much all!

Erm ..... the baby belly never really did go away after # 1 ... haha
Me also no symptom ... we should consider ourselves lucky bah?
Can take in moderation lar. But try not to take in your last trimester. My #1 grew really big cos I eat TOO MUCH durian (about 2-3 times a week). In the end, his head no space to descend, so he was "floating" around even at week 40.Mummies i m craving for durian pancake and i m in 1st trimester now can i actlly take one?
@PhoebePan, everyone reacts differently so it's actually a good thing you don't have much symptoms.
i guess everyone would have pref for the hospital to deliver at so there isn't right or wrong. for our case, we chose KKH as they always have specialist team on standby and (touch wood) should ambulance be required to send to hospital they will ONLY send to KKH no matter where you gynae is. so might as well have our records there in case of emergency.
also, as we chose our gynae we are considered class A anyway so might as well take the single bed room... total damage for bunny delivery was $2000+ (after deducting medisave of $2000+) so it was like $4000+. my wife stayed 2 nights as she lost quite a bit of blood during delivery and had to be monitored. Bunny was ok to discharge the next day but mummy cannot so we stayed for 1 more night in the suite. it was a natural delivery with pretty basic stuff so i guess the cost wasn't too high. we only used 6 hours of delivery suite before bunny came out so no extras there. i'm pretty certain the cost of getting bunny out is pretty low.
Dr Tan is straight forward so she will order tests and scans if need to and we usually get in and out of the car park within an hour (which is faster than most pte hospitals or clinics) as Dr Tan is almost always on time with the appointments (we only had to wait for her once cos she went to deliver but it was less than 30 min). oh ya, part of the reason why we chose Dr Tan is cos my wife prefer a female gynae....

I saw Gynae last saturday. My pregnancy is estimated to be about 5W3D, No heart beat yet, EDD will probably be 30th Sep.
Hopefully can get to see the heart beat on my next visit.
I am actually seeing Paul Tseng @ TMC. The heavy traffic (human and vehicle) irritates me a little. Am considering changing gynae because of this. Top criteria is for the gynae to be pro natural and VBAC. Any mummies/daddies have recommendations?
Any mummies exercising when pregnant? Part of my desperate attempt to keep my weight in check, I just did a session of zumba yesterday. Joints were aching quite a bit in the middle of the night. Not sure it's because of "OLD AGE" haha, or pregnancy. Intend to continue, but will take it easy next session.
Later on, will prolly start doing pregnancy Yoga. Any mummies keen to join together?

I did a session of zumba during my first tri too and the following week, I bled for a few days, not sure whether is it related because first tri is still considered unstable.
My friend start yoga in the 2nd tri and she say is good. Maybe u might like to go for a trial.
My gynae advised me to walk and swim only. I m more interested to swim. I will go for slow swim when I hit my 3rd tri ...
Now my main exercise is shopping but still, I try not to walk too much and rest if I feel tired.

Hi all mums to be
Gynae gave me 2 wks mc to rest at hm but I'm feeling guilty of not going to work.. Anyone has same experience before?
How come mc for 2 weeks? I won't cause is your entitlement. Or else u see whether u can work from home?
Slight bleeding so gynae asked me to rest at hm..
I know I should just rest but will still feel guilty of not going to work.

Try to negotiate to work from home? Hopefully your boss is understanding!
Haha I got new wireless bra already coz its soooo tight and uncomfy.
I swam weekly from 2nd tri onwards for no. 1! Its really therapeutic. Planning to do the same for no. 2. Not sure if there's a link, but no. 1 has NEVER been a water baby though boohoohoo!

Hi Kellycw, I think you should be resting at home phydically and mentally. I understood how you feel as I had 1 week mc two weeks ago when I was 8 weeks pregnant. But my boss told me rest well so that you can come back and work without worries.
tks bearbitmama, I shall keep myself occupied and stop feeling guilty.

I still have 7 sessions of zumba to go. (Signed up before I knew I was pregger) After that think 1st tri just over, then I'll sign up for Yoga. Swimming sounds good too.
Will check with my gynae again next visit to see if he would ask me to continue/stop zumba. hehehe

Gynae give MC for a reason wor. You must need the rest lor. No need to feel guilty lar.
I got new ones. I know some mummies actually use bra extensions. But if it's the cup size that is bothering you, then no choice have to get new ones.

I would like to check with you all about pre-natal minerals. What are you taking now? I'm taking Blackmores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding (Advanced) and I find the pills really too big to swallow. Have to cut it up and it has a very bad smell. End up spread the cut up bits (plus its syrup) onto bread and coat thick layers of Nutella over them to hide the smell. Have been doing this for 2 days in a row and hb thinks we can't do this everyday, as I have to eat the pills even during breastfeeding!
Any solutions or alternatives?
Thank you very much for advice.

I thought is gym membership and u can actually suspense.
Maybe u write in to the management and try to postpone?
I hasn't get new bra yet cause the figure now keep on ballooning, very hard to gauge
Still bleeding or spotting? Take it as a good opportunity to rest, u will be derived of sleep when baby arrives

R u eating well? If so, I don't think there's such need to take supplements. I am going to stop my supplements upon completion
Feel so gross and want to vomit too when swallow these pills
Thank you very much for advice.
Congrats... my gynae say do not need to avoid any food if we consume in moderation.
Rest well, stay positive and consume food in moderation. I believe this is the key to a healthy pregnancy.

Better to avoid products with salicylate content. It's also present in those ko-yok or salonpas for example, but there are some that are salicylate-free.

Did Ur gynae give you any an tai Yao to let Ur baby stick/glue together in. Way. Maybe can try asking for this medicine..
Dear all,
Thanks for suggestions . For some reasons I stopped eating meat since 3 months . Now turned completely Like vegetarian. Recently I started to eat for every 2 hrs,but small amount only . Say for eg if I had wheat bread in the morning around 8am,then I feel hungry to eat around 10.30am. If not I feel more acidic and heart burn. Is any mommies experience the same ?
