Hi all. Thought of starting a new thread. Tested positive on 29th April. Based on LMP, edd is 3rd Jan. Any mums to be on the same boat?
That's fast! How far along were you?Congrats ladies! All the short form really new to me. Hahaha. I tested positive yesterday so we straight go to look for gynae. Done ultrasound for the 1st time. Still a little dot. I will be going for 2nd scan in 2 weeks later. Rmb to drink lots of water before and do not pee. Hahaha

That's fast! How far along were you?
Hi All,
I’ve tested positive on 3 May, going by app edd shd be 14 Jan. 2nd time mum here and each pregnancy is really different as I got bfp 9dpo this time, very fast and today will be seeing gynae.
Congrats! We may need your advice more. Mostly r first time mummy. May I know what is bfp 9dpo?
Hi Akikopoh, bfp 9dpo means big fat positive, 9 days past ovulation. Just an update i’ve Seen my gynae but as my hcg levels is just 1100+ so she said can’t be seen on ultrasound and asked me to go back next Tuesday for a scan b4 I fly off on Thursday if I want a piece of mind cuz by then my hcg levels should hit 1500 and can be seen on ultrasound.
Thank u aprillia85 for your explanation. My gynae didnt mention anything about my hcg but he said 2 weeks later come back for a scan. To make sure baby is in the water bag.
Hi all,
My wife is pregnant and tested positive on April 26 and we are so excited. But confused which doctor to consult. We are planning to do delivery in Thomson. Anyone has some recommendation?
Congrats! I went to punggol plaza gynae Dr Woo Bit Hwa. I think he quite famous and was intro by my sis. Her both kids is delivered by him.Hi all,

Hi apprillia85, thank you for the suggestion. I got another suggestion also from another friend about Dr. Ben Choey Wei Yen who has clinic in AMK. He helps deliveries in Thomson too. Since the clinic is not in Thomson itself, waiting time not that long and that is what I heard. Do you or your friends know about him as well?
Thank you AkikopohCongrats! I went to punggol plaza gynae Dr Woo Bit Hwa. I think he quite famous and was intro by my sis. Her both kids is delivered by him.
Thank you aprillia85. I read this name also some places. I will shortlist him too in the doctor listSorry, nope. Another name that came close to Dr. Ben Choey that i’ve Heard of is Dr Benjamin Tham

I found it ok. I didnt stay punggol. I stay at bedok hahahaha.Hey Akikopoh, do you live in Punggol? I’m living in Punggol and would like to see a gynae nearby but there’s some bad reviews about Dr Woo Bit Hwa so I didn’t go to him.. do you find him good?

Hello everybody~ I just did my first checkup today. My EDD is 04 Jan. Praying that the baby doesn't get overly enthu and come out early. It's a scary but exciting journey, and I'm glad to have found this forum to help me along the way.
Hello to all who just joined! Big congrats too!
How is everyone feeling so far?
Hope y'all have a great weekend ahead!![]()
Hi aprillia85! Thanks for the advice!Hi luv88! Congrats to you! Try to stay calm and talk to your baby on when he/she can comes out, it works for my no.1Your scan is so nicely labelled! Can I ask which gynae do you go to?
We can all celebrate together next year! So exciting!Hey Stickybeany, wish u a great weekend ahead too! Next year this time all the members here would be carrying their precious and celebrating Mother’s Day![]()
Hi aprillia85! Thanks for the advice!I went to Thomson Women's Clinic at Tampines for the scan yesterday coz it was near my mum's place. But looking to go elsewhere for my follow ups. Considering to get a referral letter from polyclinic to go to KKH (I was born there!) for subsidized rates..would rather scrimp and save now for the baby's future expenses. Where did you go for your first?

I went to Thomson Medical for my 1st under Dr A L Lim but the waiting time was really Long and the hospital stay though was comfortable but nothing much to shop and eat for my hub so this time round go to KKH under Dr KT Tan. Why don’t you go private under KKH? For KKH subsidised rates you’ll be seeing different dr each time..
Congrats!!Hiii! I just tested positive last nite! EDD by GP currently at 9 Jan~ need to find a OB first before can determine actual EDD ^^ estimated 5 weeks right now

Woohoo~ congratulations! Such coincidence! Same doctor and same EDD. Do you mind sharing with me how much was your delivery cost for your first with Dr Wong? How much by cash and how much by Medisave? So we can prepare our pocketsI’m seeing Dr Wong too! Edd is 4 Jan as wellhe delivered my first and we’re comfortable with him cos he’s so gentle and assuring. Next appt with him is on 22 May to check for heartbeat. So nervous!
Hey Akikopoh, do you live in Punggol? I’m living in Punggol and would like to see a gynae nearby but there’s some bad reviews about Dr Woo Bit Hwa so I didn’t go to him.. do you find him good?

Thank you very much! It's much cheaper than I thought. A friend told me she spent about 10k for each kid, that's why it scared me to think about going to polyclinic to get referral letter for subsidized rate, since we're planning for 3 kidsThere is a new women’s clinic at oasis terrace. Not sure about the gynae and the reviews though but just FYI
TMC hospital charge (2 bedder) - $2700
Doctors fee (normal delivery with epidural) - $2750
Medisave deduction - $2550
Total cash payment - $2750
Still got fees for the baby (injections, PD visits, etc). I think this one is about $800.
This was in 2016. I’m sure the charges have increased. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much! It's much cheaper than I thought. A friend told me she spent about 10k for each kid, that's why it scared me to think about going to polyclinic to get referral letter for subsidized rate, since we're planning for 3 kidsQuick question, how did you decide whether or not to take epidural? I have some friends who took, and a few who didn't.
So for you, you initially intended to not take painkiller but in the end base on the situation, you thought it's more suitable to take it so you took it?Yea I’ve heard of 10k before too. Maybe those are mt e one bedder kinda rates? Haha. But tmc is quite decent! I went into labour without the intention to take epidural actually. But my dilation was taking forever (2 hrs 1cm!!) and the pain got sooo bad. I guess with labour, you just gotta roll with the punches.
Omigosh! How many hours were you in labour? Must have gotten really badYea I’ve heard of 10k before too. Maybe those are mt e one bedder kinda rates? Haha. But tmc is quite decent!
