Probably OTC products are generally quite 'safe', but I suggest you may wish to consult your gynae for now?
Facial should be fine so long as they don't use any harmful chemicals on your face? I was told to stop all massages during pregnancy.

Sigh, I used topical tretinoin which is under the same family. Shifted my gynae appointment forward for advices. Praying hard all is good.

I took leave for my first visit, but found out they could actually issue me mc. U might want to call up the clinic to check if they can issue mc for the day, that day you will not have to take leave for your appt.
u can let CTTC know your email address, so that she can add u in. be sure to change ur email settings so that she can find u.

Hi
hi there~
The late anetenatal package for Dr Tan Toh Lick after 20 weeks is $880 for 9 consultations. Was unable to find out the delivery fees as the recept told me that its too early for me to even look at that, and that i should wait for my baby to stabalise first.
Anyway, i will not be continuin with Dr Tan for the late anetenatal, as my second appointment was rush rush, scannin was rushed, consultation i felt being rushed as well. Not sure if it was because its after office hour and the appontments were back to back, but the experience wasnt as good though.
Hope the sharing helps
Wokays! Looking forward to your sharing.

Hi all, my confinement lady is leaving on Monday and I would really like to recommend her...
This is my 2nd pregnancy. My HB was not satisfied with the previous CL so I got this one after recommendations from friends.
1) She cooks really well, my HB loves her homecooked food. My MIL came over to 偷师 (steal some tips) from her. She even made herbal soup for my MIL and 梅菜扣肉 becos my MIL asked her for help to pack herbs for herbal soup, and commented she likes 梅菜。
2) She is very thrifty. When herbs shopping she didn't buy everything for 28days and only bought enough supplies. She want to know what I drink and dun drink b4 she buys some more herbs.
3) She buys good quality ingredients from the market. Initially my MIL does the marketing, but after she learns how to go to the market she will get fresher foods. She really knows how to choose the ingredients too. She doesn't over spends and keeps accounts on what she buys given the budget.
4) she is super duper hardworking. When I first spoke to her on the phone, she said she will only take care of mummy and baby which is common practice and will help out in chores if there is enough time. But she ended up doing up all the chores, esp laundry which I procrastinate. She mops the floor at least once in 2 days or right after cooking depending if she has time. She takes a short nap in the day time but other than that she works non stop. She even keeps track of my elder son's school uniform supply and my HB work attire, so as to plan the laundry schedule accordingly.
5) she is neat and organized. She packed my kitchen (which is open concept and relatively small storage limits), store all the ingredients, herbs, my detergents, pots and pans even more neatly then before.
6) She is very ethical and reliable (imo). I booked her in late dec early Jan, and wanted to give her a deposit. She doesn't need a deposit, says in her line must 讲信用, confirm means confirm. So I confirmed her and did not contact her until late June, she contacted me to check if I have delivered and if I have found someone else cos I told her I will most likely deliver early (EDDJul) and yet I did not contact her in Jun. I confirmed with her that I did not find anyone else and will let her know when I deliver.
I found out that someone else was trying to get her to help babysit her 2mo and begged her to help despite her turning down. Eventually she went to help for a few days while waiting for me to deliver. Employer told her to find a replacement for me and to stay and help her, which she rejected again.
She also took on an assignment in December. After which a close relative called her to engage her also in December. She has to turn down her relative bcos she has alr promised others first.
She is available in March/April... PM me if you want her contact.

You can try Dr Woo Bit Wah from Thomson women clinic at jalan membina.Hi, any recommendations for gynae in bukit merah/telok blangah/tiong bahru area? I am having my first kid
Thanks for the recommendation! How was your experience with him? Because this is my first kid and we dunno what to expect. So thought might want to look for a gynae that is more patient and willing to answer our questions.

Same area! Apart from Dr Woo, i'm still searching for gynae not too far from this area and delivers at Mt A.
Anyone has any recommendation?
Was doing some reading online and realized that antenatal packages can differ quite a bit for doctors in the private sector.

My gf sees him for her 1st kid but I didn't. She recommended him. However, you have to note that his scan machine is not very high tech. Overall he is quite gentle and very patient too.
Alternatively, you may want to consider a clinic in Gleneagles where the gynae delivers in mt a. However, you have to note that if in the event your gynae cannot reach mt a on time, he may get a replacement gynae instead for you.
Hi, excited to join this grp! Just found out abt my preg recently. 1st time mum.
CTTC: can add me to the grp? My fb email is [email protected]. LMP 15 Jun. EDD according to app is 22 Mar.
Thanks!
Also, anyone can share what to do after they tested positive? I still have yet to call any clinics and don't really know how to go about choose a gynae. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi~ Yes, I did my scan at KK with Dr John Tee but we couldn't see anything yet. The doctor said the baby was tucked behind my uterus. My next appt is next week, hopefully I can finally hear my baby's heartbeat. Really looking forward~! Congratulations, btw!

Hi Bubblesdiary, how many weeks are you now? I am going to see Dr John Tee as well

I wouldnt recommend Dr Phua if your pregnancy has complications or have pre-existing condition prior to pregnancy. Dr Phua is just a very normal gynae who cannot go beyond the beyonds. I have 3 friends with pre-existing condition went to him before and he knows nothing about it. He is quite a backdated Gynae. I ever asked him how he does cyst surgery. He told me cut open instead of doing key hole surgery. - Back in 2013. Now I am not sure if he did upgrade his skills and yes, he is cheap for sure.

Understand how you feel, as your boss is not understanding. Just to let you know that once baby is out, you will/may have another set of problems if you do not have help from your family. If this job is not going to bring you anywhere, quit after your ML and look for a job else where. Sometimes it is not worth working so hard for a boss that dont appreciate you. Get HL from your doc and rest at home. Your boss will not sympathized you if you lose your baby. Take care and more bed rest.

Hello! I'm at 7 weeks now. Dr John Tee is very experienced, although like what the internet said, he's a man of a few words...
My 1st check up with him was informative. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
