hi sakura
it must be tough on u.
as for the doula, u will only need her during yr labour. cost is stated on parentlink website. i think it's $1,350. u need to know how to breathe in order to carry thru your contractions.
i went natural all the way. no injection, no drugs. just simple breathing techniques. it helps a lot. just stay VERY focus.
waterbirth is like an alternative medicine. it calms u down. it's like heat therapy. also, it has been said that baby born through water is calmer as it's a gradual transition for them from wtaerbag to watertub
Dr Paul Tseng is good. it's all depends on yr rapport with the doctor and what u want. if u're looking for natural pregnancy or birth, u can go to him. Otherwise, plse look for someone else.
he seldom do scan unless it's necessary. i can count the number of scans i did! since u're doing IVF, i think u will need scan for the initial stage.
he's knows quite a lot of stuff. if u have any questions, feel free to ask him. he'll explain to u. otherwise, your consultation will be only 5 mins. my hubby and I are very comfortable with him.
