Home Obstetrics Antenatal Care
Yes, if you have no medical reason not to, and Dr Chang gives you a letter of consent, then you can fly until 32 weeks gestation. However, if you are planning to climb a mountain or go to an unsafe or unsuitable country for a holiday then I suggest waiting until you are not pregnant. By 30 weeks flying long haul will be very uncomfortable.
Once you have read, seen or heard something to do with Pregnancy, Labour or Birth it is impossible to forget it. Don’t let your friends tell you their horror-labour and birth stories while you are preparing for labour yourself. If you want information go to a good Pregnancy Text Book. Surround yourself with only POSITIVE birth stories as preparation.
Mother & Child Centre in Tanglin Shopping Mall (small groups of 8 couples in each class), ‘Parentcraft’ classes at Thomson Medical Centre and Mrs Wong Boh Boi’s birth preparation classes all offer a wide range of classes but it is best to book early as they get very full. Hypnobirthing classes are also available at the Mother and Child Centre and at TMC.
Dr Chang doesn’t do ‘Meet and Greet’ but is happy to see you for a routine antenatal check up where you and your partner can ask questions about your pregnancy, impending labour and childbirth. You may wish to ask questions before your first antenatal appointment, can call:
