my_tabo,
i think my husband got 產前抑鬱症, just like women: each month got 1 trouble (m) ar!! may be he has a lot of things to think, and he got some trouble at work recently. ha ha!!
myrchan,
last time when i check bb's頸皮, i have the blood test at the same time. both checking are in 1 package which calls OSCAR. looking together the result of these two tests, making the accuracy 85%-90%. sometimes, bb's 頸皮 is thick, but the blood test of the mother is ok, when balancing these two results, the possibility of "tong si" would be lower.
do you understand?? if i am saying in chinese would be better, sorry!
ricfa,I understand. But seems the OSCAR test is a bit different from the test I received from my private doctor. My doctor says blood test and measurement of neck skin should be separated. They are done in different period of pregnancy, i.e. 11~14.5 wks to do measurement of neck skin and 15 ~ (forogt) wks to do blood test. Just query about this difference. I know I have to go through both measurement and blood test to ensure the possibility of Down's.
Re the delivery costs of 浸會, go to its website and see their 安產計劃 (2 pages listing fees for 開刀 & 順產 packages): http://www.hkbh.org.hk/index2.html
But I don't know how much does 浸會 cost if I don't join any package.
ricfa & wingksw, if you don't mind to spend more time, why don't you do check up in public hospital too ? Fees to do check up in public hospital is cheap. And to learn more from another doctor is good. But you have to prepare for less comfortable experience in public hospital. There will be long queue. Doctors in public hospital see large no. of pregnant women and their attitudes vary from very good to very bad. However, if (touch wood) an emergency occurs, it's better to go to a public hospital where more senior doctors and more advance equipment are ready to help you. My niece was born in 法國. She got problem in her spinal cord, which was not discovered in prenatal check. Then she was delivered to QE immediately, but a lot of time is required for her record to be sent to QE. You see, in case of (touchwood) big problem, last resort is public hospital (unless you are millionaire then you cannot afford high operation fees in private hospital). So I do check up in QE and private clinic. Then I can have my record in QE too.
