2nd Pregnancy & Di Di
After since I had my second pregnancy, I don't believe in looking at the tummy or from your first baby to know the gender of the current one.
Anyway I am having another BABY BOY again. =)
Wanted a girl so I can slow down my pregnancy as my intended number of children are 3 to 4.
But it's okay, Mommy still love you, Di Di.
Di Di: Can you see my fingers waving to YOU?
We went back to KKH for my 2nd pregnancy gynae checkup, just that this time round we get the referral letter from polyclinic. It is so much cheaper than you go KKH yourself, which will consider private. The price is like difference in half (consultation/medication/scan).
But you can change to private when nearer to your due date as I will be choosing a senior gynae to deliver for me. You doesn't want any not that experience doctor or mid-wife or nurse to do the stitching for you if you are having natural birth.
Difference between Referred and Private
Private:
- Comfortable waiting area
- Better service
- Shorter waiting time
- Free hot beverage at waiting area
- Every visit you sure will have a scan to see your baby growth
- Fixed gynae
- Cost: $100++ per visit
- Location: KKH Private Suite
- Bed Type: Only A1 or B1 ward class for seeing senior gynae
Referred by Polyclinc:
- Normal waiting area
- Only have free plain water
- Longer waiting time (approx. 2 hours minimum)
- Poor service
- No scan to see baby growth, only hear heartbeat. During detailed scan then will have the chance to see your baby growth.
- No fixed gynae (normal general doctor)
- Cost: $50++
- Location: Clinic C
- Bed Type: B2+, B2 and C ward class
