Week 8 (28 June 2010 - 3 July 2010) Part I

This is a week of anxiety, a week of uncertainty, a week of "Oooppss!" "Gasps!" "Oh no!" "What should we do next?"

Should we break the news and share this joy with everyone? Or "hush hush" until the most crucial period is over?

Being first-timers and being extra, superb cautious couple, we decided to be pandan ("superstitious") and let it remains a "hush hush" event.

The 1st thing we did was to search for a gynaecologist to confirm the test. Through website forums and researches, we decided to settle for Dr Ho Kok Kee from Mount Elizabeth  & Mount Alvenia Hospital. A good, caring and experienced gynae is important to us, as he/she will be with us throughout the 9 months; guiding young and inexperienced couples like us through the pregnancy process. However, we realised that choosing a good gynae is like going through a trial and error process.

Here's our gynae =D

"Dr Ho graduated with a M.B.B.S. degree from the University of Singapore in 1975. After serving National Service in the Singapore Armed Forces, he began his Ministry of Health traineeship in Obstetricians & Gynaecologists at the Kandang Kerbau Hospital. In 1984, he passed the qualifying examination for Membership in the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists of London, and subsequently received his Fellowship in the Academy of Medicine, Singapore. Dr Ho served in the government service for ten years before beginning his own practice at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre in 1998. Besides local patients, he also has a large number of patients from Indonesia, Malaysia and the ASEAN region. In order to improve the service, a branch located in Bishan was established in 1992.
