hihi....
very busy at work so no time to post.
Pinkie,
my ger's PD is at Tampines. quite good coz she will follow up by calling me on the phone to check on my ger's condition when she had enzema.
plus her charges are ard $45 for consultation.
it depends, if you intend to let your bb have all the jab at polyclinic then no need PD lo.
Charmaine,
how's your ger now?
i hope she 55 recover.
Darlie,
i dun have anyting to swap le.
hmmm....let me go dig dig first.

Didi,
oh ya, earlier in the thread i saw that u mentioned abt styaing in flora road. sori ah, the posts so long that i get confused who said wat. I think i know where that is.
HI juxta,
thanks for asking. so far it's been 24hrs liao and no sign of fever so thank God! but can see more red rashes on her head (cos she very botak so can see), tummy and back. those r symptoms of HFMD rite? ya, have to keep giving her those heinz juice for bb to drink cos she doesnt like plain water and barley water but at least she got drink somethg lor. I also hope i don't get it man, as it is i'm so tired taking care of her full time i can't afford to get sick myself. sigh! how long did your boy take to recover?
Pinkie,
it's better to have a PD nearby cos of shorter travelling time. initial 1st few months hv to bring bb for jabs & i recommend to get your bb vaccinated for rotavirus & pneumacocal, polyclinics dun hv those vaccines, only private clinics. i very kiasi and kiasu, rather pay more for those jabs than pay for medical bills if bb gets very sick. and also buy medical insurance for your bb. Hb & i didnt get one for bb early so kena pay so much for hospital bill when she got admitted for bronchiolitis.
mbb2,
your ger's PD very good leh, actually makes calls to u to folo up on bb's condition. but i find her charges quite hi leh, most PDs' charges are abt $35-$40. but i guess ok la since she calls to make sure her patients are doing well. Thanks, i oso hope my gal gets well soon. she's so cranky, clingy and whiney now. luckily got my parents & hb to help me out else i faint if she only clings to me.

Hi p1nk1e
My 1st boy was born in Mt E - Dr Teoh (same floor as Dr Kowa). This time I'm delivering in TMC cos Dr Teoh is not delivering after end Jan 08.
As for PD, I went to the one in Elias Mall, not bad. Initially I went to the one at Paragon assigned by Dr Teoh - too far. Then for jabs, I went to Polyclinic, but switch to this PD in Elias Mall when I managed to find one. He's pretty good in giving jabs to baby... so far, under him, my boy hardly cry (even if cry, only for a min or so) and no fever after jab, unlike Polyclinic.

emoments,
u mean the PD at elias mall good ah? Dr Sim right? i went to him few times, so far i dun really like the way he talks lor, quite yaya so i only bring my gal to see him for small matters. if big matter like this HFMD i always bring her back to her org PD in T.Payoh. My CIL oso stopped bringing her boy there cos once the way he talked to her made her feel so belittled. But i guess to each his own lor.

yup, i work on weekends too coz i dun work normal office hours. but i do get off days in a stretch lor.
gain some lose some....
for me, i very KS. bb sick, go PD.
but for standard jab, i go to Polyclinic coz it's juz opp my plc.
so far, the nurse did a good job.
you can actually request the PD that service in the hospital you deliver.
i delivered in RH, and i requested a specific PD to check on my ger since birth.
the PD was good but RH is far, so i switch to the PD in Tampines.

Hi Charmaine
Yep Dr Sim.... actually initially my 1st impression of him wasn't good also, thou quite impressed with the way he jab my son, but the way he toks also turn me off... but my hubby find him ok.... .slowly maybe quite used to his style, find him ok... and also maybe I go to him mostly for jabs, so far so good lor.
One thing for sure for my case is, he's a lot better than the PD assigned to me by gynea... tt one more stuck up and quite rough with my son who was only a week old then... so I didn't go back to him. At least Dr Sim is very gentle to my son.

Hi charmaine, hope ur gal is feeling much better. First few days are really a struggle cos of the fever and the ulcers in the mouth. After that should be better. My boy took close to 2 weeks. Have to be careful not to get it, the fever really feels horrible, the chill to the bone feeling. Then you get it all over your hands and legs, so hard to do housework. Had to put on gloves to wash and cook for the boy, and so worried hb will get it.
HFMD is actually the symptons of a virus. there are 2 strains of such virus that will display such symptons. 1 of my gf's daughter got both!!!

Hi ladies,
Brought my gal to PD again today for a folo up and doc said that my gal has normal viral infection & not HFMD as fever already subsided since last Fri and no further signs of HFMD. The ulcers are also clearing up, only thing is that she now has rashes but will go away. However PD said to monitor her as she is still coughing a bit and hopefully the viral infection won't cause bronchiolitis to recur as she had that b4.
Hi mbb2,
so far i've been to 3 PDs, one is my gal's usual PD, one is the Dr Sim at Elias Mall & another one at Hougang. All 3 of them their consultation charges are btwn $35-$40. $60 just for consultation is way too ex unless it includes medicine. Actually the one at Hougang is also good, he loves kids and is patient but the only setback is that he goes by appointments which i dun like cos sometimes the appt time i get can be quite late.
Thanx juxta & sheris,
for sharing about your exp with HFMD.
About the rehydrating fluids, my fren told me that it's good to give bb that when they hv fever but i didn't buy instead i kept giving her those heinz fruit juice as she likes it and will drink more that way. I boiled barley water but she won't drink so instead mix it into her milk. But i'm so relieved now that she's getting much better. Thnx for all your concerns.

emoments,
He does seem gentle when he handled my gal when i brought her there few times but i just can't stand the way he talks. But at least good that he is gentle when giving jabs to your boy. Furthermore i guess he is the nearest PD around our area so convenient lor. But i will still go back to PD in T.payoh cos been there so many times & got my gal's record there.

Hi Sheris,

Darlie,
You're never too old to learn something. I worse still, haven't even take basic theory, have been delaying for 10yrs liao. Shd hv done so b4 i hv my gal. Now no time to do anything for myself.

This am I slipped at the mgt office. You know the side door just next to the lift? Some idiot went swimming then wet the place. I walked in, slipped, did a half split, then with front legs forward. Now I can hardly walk properly. Luckily I din fall on my tummy or butt! I think they shold put a mat there, so dangerous!!

you're right charmaine, no time at all to do anything for ourselves. hubby complaining i shd have gotten a licence before the kids. u need the basic theory book? can pass to you i din take any package from the Ubi driving school but went there to take the exam only. more mafan since u need to register everything on your own lor. esp if u dun go there for lessons, must specially make trips there. have tot of going to ubi to take lessons but too lazy to travel.
mom2nat, u okay?? need to check with your gynae just in case?

hmmm, good idea. now the thing to do is to get a new blender cos my maid uses the current one to blend her fiery chilli pastes!
darlie,
if the avocados are hard & hv siap siap taste then its not ripe. leave them in room temp to ripen them, when the skin becomes black and when u press can feel its soft. if your kids alrdy 1yr old then can put honey or the best is to blend in some gula melaka & milk, very yummy. how old are your kids? anyway, u can also mix the avocado with some tuna and spread on bread to make sandwiches. can also add them in some salad too with salad dressing.
pinkie,
i duno when i wil hv the chance to take my basic
theory....sigh...who ask me to delay last time.....

charmaine,
basic is quite easy so can attempt it first lor
what i hated most was the advanced... somemore gotta pass practical within 2 years - so stressful.
but learning driving (practical) would be fun!
btw, i think it's better to learn around ubi area, which i did - cos my instructor let me practice the test routes
but can be inconvenient to travel down, esp when you have kids lah...

Darlie

Hmmm... maybe someone in this thread shold compile a list to show which st we live. Hee...

Hi hi,

Mom2nat,
Glad to hear that you and baby are fine. Take care and do update us with pictures once you've delivered. Okie?

oh ya, i didnt think of adding other fruits to the avocado. btw, the avocado with gula melaka & milk is a very nice drink for adults too, can add some ice in it to make a nice cool shake.
mom2nat, relieved to know that u & baby are well. phew!
mbb2, hope u get well soon. u got chicken pox?
