Hi Wanli,
That is strange, cos Hazel told me they have a package which consists of the doctor's delivery and ward charges and 3 days 2 night stay in TMC 4 bedded ward. This package is without epidural and cost abt $1800 or $1900. So i was wondering is it cheaper to get it this or seperate package.
In dilemma now.

hi gingercat,
I went and ask abt dr wong's package too and was told the same price but clarified with Hazel that the price was not fixed. It's just an estimated price. The only fixed price is dr wong's delivery charge only. The rest include the hospital charges and other miscelleous things which will incur in our bill depending on eg: labour time and things we use in the ward and bb's nursery room charges. No package to sign up....Think they just wanna let us know how much we roughly have to pay when we deliver.... About $1800 onwards depending on individual.

Hi yoyo,
From what I understand from Hazel is this package includes only Dr Wong's delivery charges, 3 days 2 nite in TMC ( 4 bedded ward ) and day visit charges for 2 days. And this package does not include epidural administeration, baby's nursery room charges, etc... Other misc things, we will have to pay and top up.
Think I need to clarify with Hazel next saturday again on this cos now I also very confused. Cos when I ask her abt if there is any delivery packages available from Dr Wong, she showed me this.
Better get my hubby to clarify with her. By the way, how many wks are u now? Giving birth soon??

Hi gingercat,
You are somehow right. That's also what she meant. So it isn't call a package coz the bill u receive when you discharge will be a breakdown of everything so there's no fix price to our delivery inpatient bill. Unlike the $598 which is fixed. I only know dr wong normal delivery fees is fixed @ $738 if no complication and delivery is smooth.

Hi,
After u hv signed up the package with Dr Wong, how much do u need to pay for her vitamins during each visit. Beisdes the vitamins, what other things do u need to pay during each visit other than detailed scan and blood test?
For those who has given birth, how long do u take to heal fr the wound? The last time i gave birth, it took me 3-4 weeks b4 my wound fully heal. do u take so long? Thanks,

Hi Ocean,
Actually if you don't want to buy the vitamin then you can always buy outside. Dr Wong never force us to buy from the clinic, somtimes I buy from her but if I found outside is cheaper then I will buy from outside. The most expensive one is fish oil, other than that all is less than $20. and it is also depend how frequent you eat the vitamin so very difficult to give you an exact amt.
Other test not included in package are like Grp B test (done on 36wks) and CTG. Grp B test i think should be around $30+ (can't remember already). CTG is not needed if you don't have contraction, at most it is only needed 1 or 2 times when near to delivery. It cost around $30+ also.
My stiches heal quite fast
. Now is my 2nd week of confinement and I didn't feel any pain anymore. In fact I stop eating pain killer on the day I discharged from hospital. The first week I may still feel some discomfort but not pain, the 2nd week no feeling already.

Hi Wanli,
Thanks for ur reply and congrats on ur new born
Can i check with u whether Dr Wong did a swap for u b4 delivery, it is meant to check whether there is any vaginal infection b4 u go thru the natural birth. I know some gynae does and some dont. Dont know whether dr wong does it?
Btw, how many bed-rm did u stay at, and how much did u pay for ur hospital bill? If u stayed at TMC, did u enjoy a free upgrade fr 4 to 2 bedded rm? Thanks.

Hi Ocean,
Yes, the swap you talking about is Grp B strep. She will do it on wk 36 and not incl in package. Personally think this is important loh..... I infected by Grp B strep also, so need todo injection during labour to make sure baby not swallow it.
yah, I got free upgrade to 2 bedded but it depend on luck, if the day you deliver got 4 bedded room available then you may not enjoy the upgrade. My hospital bill total is around $2800+, can't remember the amt, total cash paid is $400 plus + $600 deposit.

Hi Ladies, anybody can advise me on this? During 20th wk there is this test for FOETAL ABNOMALITY..is this test compulsory for all preggy ladies ? From wat i gathered it is compulsory. But my colleague said otherwise..just wanna cfm. Is there any difference from the Down's syndrome test called OSCAR? Tks!
Hi Belle,
This 20 weeks fetal assessment is compulsory. This test is unlike the OSCAR test. This 20 weeks test is to ensure that ur baby heartbeat is normal, the fingers and toes are growing normal and no other major disorder whereas OSCAR scan is to determine the baby normality.
Hope this helps.
Hi Vivianne, although I am not above 35 years old but currently I am seeing Dr Wong. I must say that she is a great doctor as she really takes good care of every of her patients. During my 1st trimester, I am having several times of serious bleeding that led to threatening abortion. Thanks for her, I manage to save my little baby and currently I am in my 31 weeks already. Her antenatal package starts from 12 weeks and 16 weeks. For 12 weeks, her package cost $598 and for 16 weeks onwards, her package cost $498. This package includes consultation and scanning but excludes medication and other test ( Oscar and Fetal Assessment ). Usually during the first trimester at 12 weeks, she will send u for the NT scan or Oscar scan to make sure that ur baby is not suffering from any Down Syndrome and during ur 20 weeks pregnancy, u will be send for the fetal assessment test. Hope all these helps.

Hi,
I felt abit out of place here as I just had a miscarriage....want to ask if Dr Wong provide normal gynae service and consultant as I would like to do more checks and path forward.
The gynae that I am with now is rather busy and I feel that I am not getting enough attention from him.

Hi Ah kat,
Dr Wong provides normal gynae service and consultant.
Normally for her first consultation with her, you can feel free to ask any question etc. When I had my first consultation with her, it takes abt 20 to 45 mins. Depending on what you want to ask her. The only setback is the waiting time to see her may be a bit long.
You can call and book an appointment with her. Her number is 63532033.

Hi, I just had my 3rd one delivered by Dr J Wong.. Overall, I am very happy with her . She's down to earth and personal. Her consultation is also rather long and she takes time to answer questions.
During my labour, she was very reassuring and kept coming to check on me..
happybaby, the waiting time can be long at times. My appt is always in the afternoon,so normally, I have to wait about 45 mins . i realised that Mon mornings are usually more crowded.

I'm seeing Dr Wong and I'm now in my 3rd trimester. I think she is good cos at each stage she'll tell u what u should do. for eg, right fr the beginning she will tell u what are the tests to be done at which week and which are compulsory and which are not. i think this is good cos she provides u with the info and it's all up to u to decide whether u want to take the tests. my fren 1mth ahead of me seeing one doc from GEH wasnt even told abt the detailed scan.
i agree with Choc06 that Dr wong is very reassuring. my bb is having the risk of pre-mature labour and i went to seek for 2nd opinion cos Dr Wong did not tell me much. but from the subsequent visits, i can tell that Dr wong did evaluate thru those possibilities that my 2nd gynae told me but just that she didnt say it out to make me worry. i feel that she is that kind will calm u down if she knows that u r worried.
so far my waiting time is about 20 to 45min, but i think it's ok since some times i also take up quite abit of time to ask her qns. i know for some doc u wait for long time but only see him/her for 5min.

Dear Choco,
Can I check if Dr Wong's needle work is good? Whether we are going thru natural or c section, we need to be stitched up...my sis in law's gynae needle work was not good, now she having thick scar tissue which has to be removed if she wants next bb via c section. Am pretty concern about this...Thanks

Hi Tricia,
This time( my 3rd one) was done by Dr J Wong was pretty good and the stitch was about 1 cm.. Was also thinking about whether there's a difference bet the 1st birth and the subsequent ones.. This is my observation :
My first one was done by a male gynae also in TMC, the stitch was quite long and it hurt for a few weeks.. maybe for the first birth, the cervix took some time to open, so the cut was longer ..
for my 2nd one, also done by this gynae was quite ok, I was walking steadily without any pain aft the 2nd day.. think the cut was also shorter
This time round was even better, by the 3rd week, I did not feel anything at all..
Also, as my bb was facing upwards, the contractions were slowed down during labour, Dr Wong skillfully turned the bb to face downwards.. didn't know about this at all !
Hope this information helps..
Try natural birth first.. i was very tempted to go thru c-section for my first one.. thankfully .. I didn't, recovery is better for n-birth and there's no need to wash the wound
plus lesser pain
Cheers !

No. U will not enjoy discount on the package ($598. But you can enjoy 5% off the doc fees as Dr Joycelyn Wong is one of the participating doc. I think her delivery fee starts from $738.
Cynder
U take care of your health.
Dr Joycelyn wong is in the mid 30s. She was featured in the Simply Hers mag a few months back and I learnt that she is so young and a mother of 2 kids.

For me, I actually made an appointment to see Dr Joycelyn Wong for a pre-natal checkup. But because of some reasons, I was seen by another doc in the same clinic-Dr Caroline Khi.
Dr Khi spent about an hour on consultation and scan. She went through my HB and my medical history. She also performed scan (both abdominal & vaginal scan) for me to check if my uterus is ok, any fibroid or cyst. I also did a pap smear that day. After that, she recommended us to do some blood tests which are critical for those planning to conceive.. eg Hep A/B, Thalessamania, HIV etc.
I think the same procedure should go for Dr Joycelyn Wong. I went back to her after I was pregnant.
Hope this helps.

The blood tests were conducted straight after the consultation. I did not abstain from food cos wasnt prepared for it in the first place. But i think such blood tests perhaps dun have to abstain from food anyway cos not measuring cholestrol or sugar level mah.
Btw, need to draw your hubby's blood too to check for Thalessamania.
I think I paid around $280 for everything... first time consultation, scan, pap smear and the blood tests.

my bb also delivered by dr wong. i had some problems with my pregnancy half way thru and went to another dr for 2nd opinion. in the end i still stick to her cos i find that she actually knows quite alot she is very assuring.

Hi,
Dr Wong just delivered my ger 2 weeks ago, I've contraction on the previous night and so relieved to see her in her clinic next morning. I've hard time pushing out my ger who's 3.6kgs and Dr Wong was v encouraging in the labour ward, keep "jiayou" for me, telling me bb coming out soon, giving me motivation to push even harder
, stitches were good too, i could walk around freely the next day despite having a hard time in pushing.
Throughout my pregnancy, she's v assuring and caring, doesn't take any symptoms easily and answer all my queries and doubt.
Feel v safe with her.
Like the rest, i will surely go back to her if I'm preggy again

hi noscon, my gynae is Dr Wong, and I find her really good. Felt not much pain after the stitches compared with my previous gynae. I think Dr Khi is preggie now right? Will she be back by then to help with your delivery?
