I worry alot for this pregnancy. I am so used to the maternity care in Singapore & so comfortable with my female obstetrician, I am quite nervous to have a baby here.
I am seeing a male obstetrician at a private hospital now. It is next to a very good children's hospital which I feel is very important, in case of any emergencies. Most of the tests (down syndrome/oscar, 20wks scan, blood tests etc) are carried out at another specialists centre, unlike the one-stop service at Thomson Medical Hospital where I delivered my two children.
Maybe because I am older now, I worry sick after a test is done & chase after the poor doctor for the report. Last Saturday, I went for the Glucose Tolerance Test to check for Gestational Diabetes. I had to drink 300ml of glucose (yucks !) and blood levels are checked after an hour. After 3 days of prayers, very grateful to know my glucose level is NORMAL.
Hopefully no more screenings till baby arrives.
