Gynae - Petaling Jaya

The other day as i was in the lift, a lady asked me when she saw my bump.. "how many months are you'? "Which gynae?".. I guess these two are the common questions people ask.

First, they want to know how many months to determine whether you are having a girl or a boy. Secondly, how 'small' and 'neat' your bump is or how big and huge like a whale you are.

So, im gonna share on the gynae that i have been seeing for the past 7 months. It is solely based on my personal encounter with him and how i felt.

This gynae location is located in front of Kelana Jaya LRT, for those staying in PJ, its the next shoprow from King Crab. Or the restaurant "Bone & Pot". U will not miss it.

Dr Loh Khee Fei goes by the clinic name Klinik Pakar Wanita Loh and contact number is 03-7804 8669. He is recommended by Boo's colleague.

Dr Loh is a middle aged man, and of course he doesnt talk much. He didnt explained much too as i expect a gynae will do when he knows you are carrying your 'first' child. Only during my last week visit (and also my last since im flying back to sarawak to give birth) he did chat up with Boo and me but we didnt quite catch what he was saying. How i wish he was chatty from the first time i saw him. And he speaks quite fast too.

Anyway, he is a busy man, so i guess thats why he kept his conversation minimal to baby's developement. Each visit cost roughly RM80 for consultation and baby pic and RM180 for consultation, baby pic and vitamins (calcium & obimin). I had blood test too and it was about RM220 for consultation, baby pic, and blood test).

However if you would like to deliver with him, he delivers only at Tropicana Medical Centre as his clinic is only for consultations.

The malay receptionist, Kak Zarina is very helpful too.

Ill be seeing Dr Loh for the final time tomorrow to get a consent letter before flying home to Miri and i shall update again from Miri :)

Pregnancy - Week 26

I am feeling guilty whenever i eat fast food or eating randomly just to satisfy my cravings.

This is what i had yesterday and some other days:

Breakfast
A glass of milk + 2 pieces wholemeal bread with peanut butter spread and margarine

Tea: A glass of MILO

Lunch
A bowl of curry noodles (YUMMY!!)and a glass of longan tea
(Baby was kicking a storm in tummy when i had this!)

Snack: 1 piece of rye grain crackers & a handful of mixed nuts

Dinner
Mcdonalds fried chicken (!) & fries. I took less than 5 sips of Coke plus i added water to my drink to make it less sweet. Haha!

I only have fruits on alternate days which i need to improve on. Also realise i didnt have veges in my meal! :O

Gynae - Miri, Sarawak

No doubt that when one is pregnant, first thing that comes to mind is where to find a good gynae in my area? I did alot of google and i couldnt find a decent one in my hometown, Miri.

However i had a 1 week break home and i made an appointment with Dr SK Wong(Tel: 085-438787) his office is located at Boulevard, next to Blueberry Cheesecake shop. However they are open until 3pm only and re-open again at night around 630pm. (if i got the opening time right, best is to call)

The reason i made appointment with Dr Wong is to 'check him out' as most people will when they want to 'confirm' certain service and in this case, delivery! Why u might want to know? Because i will be seeing him until the day i delivery and he will be looking at my hoo-haa when i deliver so connection or chemistry is very important. Which matters most is i am comfortable with him :D

He is a gentle, soft spoken and charming doctor. He is calm and few of my friends who had delivered with him speaks highly about him too! Since he only operates through his clinic, the delivery will be at Columbia Asia. I heard from my friends that Dr Wong only do normal delivery. So in case of any complication u might want to seek alternative.

I will be meeting Dr SK Wong again when i go home around early Sept and i will update again :)

Pregnancy - Week 23

I have shared with a few close friends about my little ones and yet to announce to the world that i am expecting!

It was a scary journey at the very beginning. I didnt know what to expect and unsure if i can cope. (am still scared!)

I am now half way through the 40 weeks (normally or 38 weeks for some) so im pretty excited to see the little one soon. Will be going for my check up this Sat, which is on my birthday!

Fantastic May !

Cant believe how time flies. Half year is almost out of the calendar view. Will be flying home to Miri attending bro's wedding. Sigh.. cant believe he is all grown up! Ah well.. he is and will still be the little bro in my heart.

Work has been great but i think im slacking much. I dont go to work as punctual as i used to and i also noticed that i dont work as hard as i used to be. Blamed it on the hormone changes? Maybe :D

Taste buds seems to go sideways too but its all for the better :)Need to constantly remind myself to eat MORE vegetables, fruits and drink more water!

Sick

Am feeling light headed, dizziness, body ache all over. Am currently taking one week off from work to get enough rest and to rest my body well.

Been cooking sick food which I love to eat on normal days too such as plain porridge with salted radish. Would be perfect with century eggs but I didn't get the chance to buy over the weekend. I have been cooking chicken and corn soup with few slices of Ginger too..hmm I love Ginger.

Off for a nap now!

Another year 2011

Happy New Year 2011!

Another year has come and it always seems like only yesterday i made a wishful thinking of what to do and accomplished for the new year!

Life has been sooo busy, i am now into my Job 3 which is so challenging as it is totally different from what i studied or worked before. Hence i need to struggle a bit to understand and hopefully it will be easier. And try not to stress too much bout it too!

TGIF- 31st Dec is a holiday, i was thinkin bout it the other day, how nice it would be if we get leave on friday and we did! I had a roadtrip to Port Dickson with boo and it was so fun. Sun was up and the weather was fantastic.

Now its resting time before the work begins in 2011.
