The last appointment

So, today is my last scheduled appointment with Dr Jason.  And now only I find out how the whole system works at his clinic and the hospital.  Call me an idiot, which I did to myself today, but after 9 months of pregnancy, today I found out how to spend my time at the hospital effectively.

First, go as early as 7.30am, or even earlier if you wish.  The numbering system has started although no staff will be there to man the counter yet.  And although the main glass door remain closed, you can enter through the side door.  I was No.3.

By 8am, the counter will start calling the number.  Register and go for your breakfast.  I used to think that I needed to wait for the nurses to call me to pee and weigh and then only breakfast.  It is not arranged that way.  It's arranged as per your registration number.

Go to Level LG to the cafeteria and order a nice breakfast.  Here in the mornings, they usually served fried kueh teow, fried mee, fried rice or french toast.  There are some kuihs too.  Order your drinks which is self-service.  There's Madeleine Cafe just outside the Women and Child clinics and also Starbucks on Level G.

By 8.30am, the nurses will start their work.  Go back to Level 2 and the nurse will call you to pee and weigh. And don't worry if you don't have much pee.  Just a tiny bit will do coz I peed and pooed before this and was left with only 1mm of pee.  The nurse said no problem.

After that, if you want to wait there, go ahead.  I find the chairs there are uncomfortable and the children crying breaks my heart, so I would go to Level G and sit at the sofa near the Admission Counter.  Watch something on YouTube or play game on iPad while waiting.  There's good WiFi connection.

Go up around 9.30-10am.  That's when the doctor would come in after his rounds in the ward.  Your number will be called shortly.  I was done by 10.45am.

So what's happening to me?  My EDD is 26 January 2016.  If she is not out by then, doctor will induce me on 28 January 2016.  He doesn't want to wait too long.  The doctor told me that because of the long weekend, he would be going outstation.  So if I start to have contractions, I should admit early.  Don't wait until the contraction is too near apart.  Because he would have to rush back from wherever he is to the hospital.

Baby is 3.38kg+- and heart beat about 130+bpm.  Stomach/body is a little big while legs are a little short.  Sigh.  I just hope she is normal.  

Baby, please come out when you are expected to due, which is 26 January.  So that I don't have to go to work or take leave.  Don't let the doctor induce you, please.  And don't let mommy have c-section please.  Be a good girl, ok?  Can't wait to see you.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
