Today is our follow up appointment with Dr Chang after discharge. We had a good chat with him about exactly what happened in the OT. He said that mine was PLACENTA ACCRETA, thank goodness it had not reached the bladder yet. I did lose a little blood, but 2 pairs of hands sewed up the [...]

C-sec Scar @ 1wk
October 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
After Dr Chang removed the bandage, he was also appalled at how badly bruised I was! He says it is because of the many injections they had given up and down the wound site, to prevent formation of keloids. I am extremely prone to keloids, the past 2 c-sec, my keloid was so big and [...]
Doctors’ Visit
September 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
Today is the 5th day post delivery. It is time for the baby to go back to the p.d. for review. Even though I delivered at Thomson medical, I chose not to go back to the PD. Not that he is no good, but I prefer Dr Yip. So off we went, back to gleneagles [...]
The Day We got Discharged
September 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
Previously, Dr Chang said that I will likely stay about 5 days in the hospital. The op went well, so no need. But the contraction in the womb when I breastfeed was hurting in places that was not previously felt, so he suggested me to stay on an extra day. But due to demands of [...]

All Excited to See Bella
September 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, Pregnancy & Post Partum
The kids came shortly with Oma, Ogu and our helper. Before Bella was pushed to my ward, we presented the presents that Bella had “bought” for them. It is something we do to lessen sibling rivalry at the birth of each new sibling. A welcome gift that was “pre-ordered” by them individually and so the [...]
Our Hero – Dr Chang
September 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
Here is Dr Chang. He came to the ward to visit us, and was “shocked” to see so many of us in the ward. 3 kids and 7 adults, not including me! He did not hesitate to let us know that they should all go home and leave me to rest, and that my op [...]

Post-op
September 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
When they woke me up after the op, I was really “lost”. I could only feel a very huge pressure on my tummy area and pain, just pain. In the frenzy, I could hear voices telling me that the op went very well. I didn’t need to go ICU, I was going to be pushed [...]

D(elivery) Day! Yeah!
September 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
After almost 38 weeks, we have finally reached this stage! Even though my case was more complicated and risky, but thank God that I did not experience any bleeding or complications that needed emergency visits to the hospital or bed rest etc prior to delivery. This morning, I was suppose to start fasting from 6am. [...]
Isabella @ Week 35
September 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
Went to Dr T.C. Chang for my weekly check up. He mentioned that Bella was growing really well. She is gaining weight very steadily and we can target for around 2.8kg at birth. I asked him to try for a 4D scan today, and he obliged. We managed to capture some nice pix and video. [...]
Bassinet for Bella
August 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, Pregnancy & Post Partum
Bought this Graco bassinet long ago, during Donald’s time, but kept it very well that it still looked like new! Decided it was time to assemble it again, for dear Bella. This time round, the kids wanted to help out. Donald was helping me with the screws, and both Donald and Victoria helped to button [...]

Isabella at Week 34 & Dr T.C. Chang
August 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
I got Daddy to talk to Dr Chin on the phone, since he couldn’t accompany me for my next visit. I wanted him to tell her that we “insist” for her to do my op. But she still thinks it is better for me to do it at SGH for safety sake. BUT I really don’t [...]

Isabella at Week 33
August 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
Went to SGH for a scan again today. Prof Tan confirmed that my case is Placenta Increta. Looks like there is a 4mm space before it hits the bladder. So as long as it is not Percreta case, he is still quite comfortable with it. BUT I don’t feel comfortable deliverying at SGH. I feel [...]
Isabella at Week 30 & Placenta Previa Accreta
August 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Pregnancy & Post Partum
Here is Isabella at Week 30 scan. She is showing us that she has big feet? Tall girl I hope!  Dr Chin had some worrying news for us today. I have placenta previa, which is low lying placenta, covering the cervix, which means I have to go for c-sec, which is fine for me. [...]

Chan Junior 4 becomes Isabella Chan
April 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum
I’m 16 weeks pregnant and time for a proper scan to find out the sex of the baby. We had both the names thought out. If the baby is a boy, we would name him Edward Chan. Even though I wanted Mark, but Donald and Daddy both wanted Edward. I wonder why?  Maybe with [...]
