Haha.. I'm planning to ask but ALWAYS forgot to ask. =p How much is the charges for cordblood, public and pte? Are you planning to go for pre-natal courses? Wonder who to ask abt such things. Gynae like always very busy and many patients waiting for him.Jo, you already asked gynae about delivery package? I feel like it's still a bit early so I am shy to ask
I also want to ask about cord blood... I think I will donate to the public cord blood bank. The private one is quite expensive and I like the thought of helping others too.

Hi Mummies, currently in week 13 of my pregnancy.. I have been feeling extremely hungry all the time since week 9 of pregnancy. The frequency of my hunger has change from 3-4hrs to 2-3hrs!!! Do you have the same experience as me? Care to share your tips with me if you know how to prolong the time before you start to starve again??
JA13 - I told my boss pretty early, cos I keep taking MC. Felt a very paiseh, so feel there's an obligation to let my immediate boss know as soon as I can. then the rest of the colleagues slowly know cos they always see me in a bad shape as most of them when they see me they saw i very pale and ask if i'm sick. well i'm not sick mah, so told have to say i'm pregnant otherwise it's like i'm lying... I still wearing my usual clothes, and I dun go around telling the rest of the colleagues unless they ask.
Just Me - I have the same experience, sometime even worse it can be I finish lunch then after chatting with my colleagues untill the full 1 hour lunch break end, i'm hungry again. I have no tips to prolong the time before i go hungry again, cos I surrender and have to eat immediately, otherwise I'll vomit. So best is to keep food at hand. currently i've a few different types of biscuits with me at my workdesk

Yes exactly! Me too will feel nauseous if I don't eat. I have already put on 4-5kg for now and I can't imagine for later part. I know it is a good sign to put on weight during pregnancy but I am gaining weight too fast.. *faint* Have been trying to eat more hi-fiber food which some say can last longer but does not work on me :'( Has anybody start to attend prenatal yoga classes yet? If yes, where did you guys went to?JA13 - I told my boss pretty early, cos I keep taking MC.

Jo, I intend to donate to singapore cord blood bank. The info is here: http://www.scbb.com.sg/DONATE/HOWTODONATE/Pages/Home.aspx
You can check Cordlife website - private cord blood bank will charge quite a lot.
Just me: I also feel hungry after 2-3 hours! For me, I can sometimes go home early in late afternoon and take a nap after a meal. It always keeps me feeling full longer...

planning to go on Friday. Hope it's not too crowded.
Whoa, so bad? I had my blood test done about 1 week plus in adv cos I also have to test blood group again (Dr wants to cfm mine is O- becos if so I'll get the Rh Incompatibility issue: Rh Incompatibility). Then I did my scan on 09 Sept.
allie: I also have a choice between TMC and Mt A! Wow you're very fast - I'll probably go for the tours in Nov/Dec when work is not so hectic for me. Let me know what you think!! I was reading through some forums about the two but it seems like they are pretty much the same - both have very good reviews and some bad ones... I am leaning towards Mt A though because that's where I was born, haha. it's nearer my house and the parking situation seems better than TMC especially for visitors.

Jadeite: I'm staying nearer to TMC but Mt A ain't too far, too. Just a heads up, if u want a weekend slot for the tour, you need to book early (at least a month in advance). For me, I'm taking a day off on a weekday to do tours at TMC and Mt A. Managed to get a morning slot for TMC and Mt A only has afternoon tours. So the tours can be done within a day. For TMC, u need to call up to book. For Mt A, there's an online booking system which shows all the available sessions.
I was told by my gynae that I need to decide on the hospital by week 20-something. So, decided to go for the tours early when I have the energy.
My colleague also reminded me to get my confinement lady soon.

Was having a chat with my aunts. They were sharing that the Mt A nurses are very nice and caring. But that's their experience (which are more than 15 years ago). Haha! But then again, I'm sure either TMC and Mt A will do the job just fine.
Also anyone here planning to have a baby-moon?
