Hi. I'm currently 37+ gestations. Having swollen feet due to water retention since 2mths ago....

Hi. I'm currently 37+wks gestations. Expecting my 4th child now. And aged 39. Technically I'm a high risk pregnancy due to my age. This is my first time encounters water retentions during my whole prenancies journey. (As I never came across water retentions before) I've been having ON n OFF water retention since 2nd trimester but lately, I'm having continuos swollen feet due to water retention since 2mths ago. It's is so uncomfortable and my feet hurts badly. Asked doctor for HL as my employers advise due to my high number of mc (as I've been sick during this pregnancy on top of COVID+ and having water retentions, frequent fever n flu) and wants me to rest at home preparing myself for labour. Doctor asked if I needed MC for today n I said can give me HL instead as I do not have MC anymore she said "sorry we can't give u HL. HL only for those who admitted." And she gave me 1 day MC. Seriously? And when I told u about my swollen feet, u don't even take a look at it. All u said is, "oh!, It'll go away after u give birth. Just elevate your legs and walk more" (which I do every single days n didnt help at all due to the presssure on the womb as baby is growing). Few weeks back, my company panel clinic, he gave me 5days of MC due to water retentions as I can barely walk. Encouraged me to rest more n don't walk much. I should rest since im going to due soon, the doc said. How come polyclinic n GP doctors are more concern of their patients than doctors/specialist in KKH? Don't make HL a big thing. Not warded, cannot issue HL. It's case by case isn't it? Why does some hospital are ABLE to issue HL and KKH can't? Ridiculous isn't it? Only HOSPITAL can issue HL as CLINICS like POLY n GP can't. Since I'm at KKH for my check-up, So what's the issue? U can print out MC, but not HL? And 1 more thing, I seriously think that ALL antenatal checkups in hospital should provide us with BABY SCANNING each time of our visit. We don't take leave for nothing! Travel for 40mins each through n fro, meet doc for 15mins, check BP n urine, listen to baby heartbeat n that's it. This is ridiculous. As parents, ofcourse we want to see our baby images through the scan. We look forward to it every single checkups u see. Why? Bcoz the baby is inside us. We miss them u know? Just by looking at the scanning images means alot for us. Make our visit a worth one. Scan the baby each time we come for our ANT check-up. Not buy listening to the heartbeat n expect us to be happy and assume that the baby is doing OK. The baby is kicking inside us. ofcourse we know that the baby is alive n ok. #helpshare

did experience the same thing when ask for HL this happened in Clinic, ( subsidised route btw in KKH) since i am a high risk pregnancy due to Hypertension i got refered to Stock clinic L7 from Clinic C (lucky i get a nice lady doc that day which she bother to call up to chck on me due to my BP and thanks to her she did a referral for me to stock Clinic ) . I am surprised that stock clinic are much better faster in terms of waiting time and more efficient. What's important is i've permanent specialist doc who will see me during my every appointment which i am thankful like finally fix doc to look into my issues and has my record. Nurse at room 4 are fix too, urine BP chck, blood test urine test all in one room no hassle to go diff room for diff check or test.. all in one place at one go. i feel more calm and smooth. oh ya, they do baby Scan on my every visit too, do u think u can get referrals to stock clinic too? since you're High risk pregnancy too. try asking if they can refer u?

do u get Hl.. the high risk dr. told me..hl only if ure admitted ..its so ridiculous. yes im the same route as urs mummy. Gp dr. is more concern then high risk dr. who scared to give HL.

I am seeing gynae in pte clinic. I did get HL in my first pregnancy but it was due to condition - low amniotic fluid. Believe they have certain condition then can issue hl? Every gynae visit actually i have scans and images from the scan to bring back. Please chill. U have less than 3 wks to meet ur baby!

i do agree with you on every visit they should provide us with scanning. i know hearing heartbeat means that they're alive but seeing the baby moves is so much better. and it's frustrating to worry if the baby doing okay or not
