Oh ok, that’s good to know. Thank you! Shall all be wellI thought mine was a weekly visit after 36weeks, but she requested to see me 2 weeks later. My gynae said the same thing as u. She just ask me to look out for any signs of labour.

Hi, would like to check, in terms of ingredients for cooking, what do we need to prepare for confinement lady? I have the Dom wine ready. I read something about wine vinegar or something like that. Anyone knows what’s that?
Yes this is my 2nd pregnancy. I gave birth in 2011 to a pair of twins boys.... So the age gap would be 6+. Gynae at first ok with it, but now at 35wks baby already 2.6kg. He says chances quite slim if baby to big.. Haizzz... He said he will give up to 3.3kgI am planning to. Sorry, I am due in April for second one but happened to see your post. Doc said there is risk but still can try. Is this your 2nd preg? How long is the age gap when u deliver? Anyone has the experience can share with me too.

So will you be trying for vbac? I am really scared if anither c sect. I cant bring myself the courage to be pushed to the OT when I am still conscious... The other time I was half consciousI see. I gave birth in June 2016 so the gap is a bit close. Yeah, it’s true that might go for csect if baby is too big. So doc advised not to eat too much carbs as well.

My gynae said the same ting. He said if baby is bigger than 3.3kg he would not allowed. But i tld him 7 yrs already.. Wound shld have healed...Yes, despite my gynae kept on reiterate on the risk of rupture, baby at risk etc etc. I told him that I really really wish to give birth naturally. I was also conscious during csect. Scary but no choice. Ultimately, when I see my baby, I have forgotten how bad I felt during the csect actually.

My mum/mil use 米酒 (rice wine?) for cooking.. can buy from Chinese med shop, but I think not all Chinese med shop have..
Ginger is a must.. I don really eat vinegar, so my mum/mil didn’t cook that for me
麻油 (sesame oil?) is needed too...
You going for natural delivery or c-sec? There is different food to eat for the first two weeks..
Or you may want to call ur confinement lady what things she need?
Thanks! I have started my confinement a week plus ago as baby decided to come earlier than expected

Now I have another worry. My red blood cells are dropping. From 10.6 to 9.8... Haizzz.. I am really worried that I will end up under the knife again...U can try and pray for it. Nobody knows what may happen during the labor. At least u r better than me, mine will only be 1 yr plus gap. Since we choose natural, we must have faith too. Just do my best. Whatever cannot eat, just keep away or touch minimum. The rest will be god’s will already.

I am not sure.. Gynae just said may not have enough oxygen for baby and energy for me to push. Anyway did your gynae says anything about you wanting a VBAC?Will red blood cells be affecting natural delivery? I never have that test before. Keep my fingers crossed. Try not to think so much. Focus on the bright side is the best bet.

I had a blood test and the result came out 9.8.. Normal shld be 11.5... Wat is worst scenario that your gynae told u? Anyway I ak already 38wks... Haizzz..How did he know your red blood cell count is low? I have never done the test before. My gynae has painted the worst scenario if I really want to go VBAC. He is leaving and I will follow another experienced gynae. Will ask for a second opinion. Meanwhile, just try not to eat food of high carbs.
anyone delivered at TMC or with Dr Paul Tseng? Can I know what is the service like?

Hi, I did went to see Dr Tseng. But sadly he will be away frm 11 march to 18 march. I am already overdue. Not sure shld i still change to him? Any idea what will he do to mummies who have not give birth to 41wks?I'm with Dr Paul Tseng. He's quite the chill pill who doesn't bother you with unnecessary information (if you are the over-thinking sort who will get stressed out), and wouldn't make you take necessary tests/ultrasounds. He's calm, experienced and an advocate of full natural birth. However, if you want to take epidural, he wouldn't mind. If you're looking at options to induce, Dr Tseng may not be the one for you.
Hi, nope I have not given birth.. I am so depressed. Doc is pushing me for csect which I really dont want. Currently I am still buying time. I am already 40wks1day. I dont knw should I change to dr Tseng. But wat would he do if I have still not give birth up to 41wks. I am so worried n scared...Sorry for the late reply. I guess you should have popped already. How is your delivery? I have not sent out the message as it was still in the draft mode previously.. lol.. what blood test is this? My gynae told me about the <1% uterine rupture in worst case scenario. I am now in 33 weeks. My gynae has advised me to eat less carbs and sweet stuff to prevent bigger baby. I think still have chance in this case.

Hi Adlina, if you really think to change, you may want to see Dr Tseng if he is available to seek for advise since he is away for a week tomorrow onwards...
And I think you are going back to your gynae everyday or every two days for review now right?
Do monitor baby’s movement everyday..
It is good to go for natural delivery, but if condition is not allowed, still have to go for c-sec, don depressed over it, will affect your baby too..
My first one was c-sec due to the position of my gal, I wanted to try natural birth for second one but water not enough, still have to go for c-sec and I have to accept it..
If your red blood cell doesn’t allowed you for natural delivery, you might want to listen to your gynae? Your baby and your health is more impt o...
I have seen Dr Tseng last week. He said everything is normal for me. Low red blood cells to him is secondary. Baby is all normal. My gynae did umblical cord blood flow all good, I am 50% effaced as of 39wks6days, only that I have not dilate and baby is at -2 position. Even my waterbag is still sufficient.
I just felt that my gynae is being very impatient. He said that baby is too big.. And come on, baby is only 3.4kg. Dr Tseng did told me baby's weight is not an issue. It is just my gynae. Worst, he even told me that if I happened to encounter spontaneous labour and if I comes in less than 8cm, he will still do C-sect! I'm like wat??? you not even going to wait. That is so unfair.
I wanted to change to Dr Tseng, but he wont be around. Haizz I am so stressful.. I cant be induced as I want a VBAC.
I see, if Dr Tseng said everything is fine and natural delivery is fine for your case too, then you can tell your gynae that you insist to go for VBAC ba..
Maybe your gynae just don wan to take any risk...
I did told him that, he said well the choice is mine but he seems to be very impatient and still says the next visit must decide on Csect which is on Thursday... I hope i give birth before my next visit

I've done all wat ever to induce natural labor.. Till i have run out of ideas and get very exhausted. I end up feel lethargic aft all the walking, dancing, squatting etc etc... I even walker around zoo n river safari still no labour pain... Maybe I am not fated to try vbac...Hi Adlina, yeah.. having a gynae who is supportive of VBAC is very impt. My gynae told me that my baby’s fetal size is of acceptable and can go for VBAC. I also hope you can go natural too. Btw, have you tried squatting exercise at home? I heard that it might help somehow.

I highly recommend Prof Tan Hak Koon from O7G at SGH
Had both my kids delivered at SGh and love the doctors and nurses there! *two thumbs up!*[/QUO
