sherin86, tat's really bad! why did the nurse not allow ur hubby to see ur baby come out? I tot hubbies are allowed in the delivery ward? ur gynae din help u? did u complain later? I guess I was pretty lucky then.. the nurse was quite friendly and smiley.. she did nag at me wen I move around too much cos I tried sitting up and turning from side to side to combat the pain (even with epidural!).. and towards the end wen I went almost hysterical and begging her to up the epidural dosage, she refused to cos she says the bb is descending so I really shouldn't be upping the dosage now as they need me to feel e pain to push.. at tat point, I did hate her a bit.. haha.. otherwise, she's real nice.. I did hear of other unhappy encounters with the nurses at TMC too.. I hope this time, I would be lucky again and get myself another friendly nurse..

My gynae delivers either at mt A or gleneagles but we haf not decided on which hospital yet.... Maybe might go with gleneagles as her clinic is at gleneagles too.
btw, need sm advises from mummies here, do your experience like tightening on and off at your tummy? I experience tt on and off at very low abdomen and smtimes near the belly button area but when I realise it starts to tighten, I will start to move abit or adjust my sitting position...then slowly it will subside...it's not painful but just feel abit weird feeling for that short while.

Kan Cheong Mummy.. the tightening u feel is contraction of the uterus.. at least tat's wat my gynae told me.. I realise it happens wen I change position suddenly e.g. suddenly lying down from a sitting position.. and yes, wen I shift my position a little like turn on my side, the feeling will go away.. wen I told my gynae she said it's ok.. but she told me to be more gentle, dun change positions so suddenly.. these kind of contractions are generally harmless but if we experience like more than 10times a day then it might bring along preterm labour.. so be more gentle ya?

Wow Lingz12! So early! haha ya you may have your labor on labor day! lol! Wah gd that got something jutting out! Ya detailed scan will confirm it.. coz it may also be the umbilic cord.. sigh my gynae was being abit more polite and political.. she says she seem to see nothing and say let's put a question mark instead.. lol so its a 'girl?'...Meltie.. wat I heard is it's ok to move house and bed and all.. BUT it is best tat u not be around when they are shifting those furniture ard.. Go take a walk or sth wen they are shifting then it shld b fine..
And I jus came back from gynae's! She pointed out there's sth jutting out between the legs and commented that she thinks it's a bird bird! So we may be having a boy! But she says boys are a little trickier cos the sth jutting out may not always be a bird bird.. Though she says she's 90% sure it's a boy, she say on the 10% chance that it's not, we shld nt tell e grandparents first.. Until everything is confirmed at the 20wk detailed scan..
Oh.. And my edd has been brought forward to 6May! I was telling hubby tat bb may hav a chance of sharing his bdae on 1May!
Tannie, i delivered at Gleneagles previously and was not bad.. all quite nice and helpful..
I may go back there.. but my 1st choice has always been mt A.. but they were undergoing construction like mad.. now still not done right.. and their beds always full.. my friend had to slp on a kids bed! and stay in pediatric ward, but pay same rate! Legs jutting out of that small bed liao! And twin share too! My new house is at amk and will be nearer if i deliver at mt A.... sooo i'm still deciding.. my gynae goes both sides... but her clinic in gleneagles.. so its sort of better as she can drop by easier...
Aiyo Sherin86, ur experience really bad.. already so stressed still kenna scolded and hubby cannot see?? priceless moment leh..
Kan cheong mummy, gleneagles is nice, and their wards are spacious.. mt A only got 1 little corridor.. and nursery may not be at same level.. so baby keeps taking the lift?! haha when i was at gleneagles, my baby was in the same ward nursery.. can go see anytiime but i didn't.. only hubby went.. i just paged for nurse to bring baby.. food not bad.. i was already discharged but had to pump milk for my bb in nicu.. so i overstayed in the ward to pump and had no lunch.. coz last day lunch not provided.. the nurses lent me their pump, passed me glass bottles to store milk, told me to take my time to rest and pump and pack.. the food auntie saw me hungry and went kitchen to find an extra tray of confinement lunch and passed me to eat! Yums! Super nice la..
But gleneagles more ex than mt A... Yup i experience some tightening.. like cramping.. its normal i guess.. just the muscles expanding and contracting.. baby growing inside..
Wah today baby kicked abit more.. fluttering alot.. esp when i change positions..
And.. don't know why.. i had a sudden dizzy spell and saw the world spinning.. thank God i was holding on to my stroller ..... strange..

Good news...congrats.
My experience was ok up till after birth. As I vomitted after birth I felt hungry n thirsty so I asked for milo. I asked from 3 different pax but it did not arrive at all, so I got to bear with it till nxt day morn breakfast. During night feed, my baby was sent to me n I found that there is dried blood clot on both hands, I don't know how she got injured... Thn they never bother to push the baby back, leaving me carrying her from 3am to 6 am... I was told not to get down the bed after delivery till next morn so I got to carry my gal on my bed...
Early morn when I jus dozed off, the nursery nurse came to me n wake me up to tell me that the wound on my gal hands r not caused by them, she said they saw the wound the moment she is pushed to nursery.... My husband n I recalled my gynea counting my gal's fingers n we dun see any bleeding, and after that the delivery nurses wrap her up in towel n carried her to nursery... Now my gal's hands are left with scars... Thou small n fade but still heart pain.
During the stay I m warded at the bed nearer to the door, the nurses never bother to draw my curtain fully n they dun close the door, so every time I got to get down to draw the curtain, else ppl walk pass will peek... Hate it when I was breast feeding... Luckily my hubby is with me most of the time to help.
On the day of checking out, they were so short handed that they got no one at the counter. One of the nurse carrying my baby is looking for staffs with my gal in her hand n there is once she swing open the door to look for staffs, my husband heart bit skipped cause it almost hit my gal's head.
If not for the bad experience, I would like to stay at TMC too cause my gynea clinic is there...

Hi, just to update my visit to my gyne for my polyps. Same thing he don't advise to remove it now, it will be there till I delivered. He want me to rest in bed and not to work. I discussed with my hubby and he leave it me to decide. Haiz.... I just extend another 2 weeks NPL to monitor my polyps hopefully it doesn't bleed. My gyne advise me not to wipe after urinating to wash it instead. The bleed might due to the fiction when I wipe it. I will still face the yellow discharge but he said is alright. So I have to tahan first.
meltie, Tannie & Ja13,
Happy for all of you got new hse to stay. Much be very excited and busy at the same time...
My 1st pregnancy was at Mt A. My experience there is good. The nurses are friendly. I'm comfortable to deliver at there. However, this time my gyne only go to Thomson medical center cos Mt A carpark having reno so very inconvenient to find parking hence, my gyne don't go Mt A. So I got only next choice that is TMC.
I'm not 14 weeks plus still cannot see the gender. Have to wait for my next review which is on 17 dec. For me, I don't wish to see any bird bird jutting out...haha...
Ya, I also feel some cramp when I change my position. I can feel my baby movement too.

oh Tannie.. ur experience at tmc is v bad too! I would oso b v upset if I were u.. sighz..
yeah.. parking at tmc is horrible.. wen we go for gynae appts, we usually park at the heavy vehicle carpark and walk over.. treat it as exercise lor.. except the delivery part jiu leave for valet to park.. but fetching the car after checkout takes sooooo long!
for #1, I mus felt bb move ard 18wks.. and it's obvious movement of tummy.. this time round, I first felt the bb at 15wks.. felt tummy move too.. but once onli.. smetimes I was tinking could it be jus muscle twitching and nt bb? ppl say second time mummies can feel their bb much better.. but im still clueless.. haha..
