momocrv, hard to say now, as some babies are fussy and will reject certain types of bottles. the most common brands in SG are NUK, Pigeon and Avent. can try these out first.

Haha yeahunderstand ..... me too.... first time mummies all like tat....

I think coffee one cup a day shld be ok. Just dont over do it. Am not a coffee drinker, but I cant do without my teh-oh everyday. My cousin whonis a kopi addict stop totally during her first trimester as lots of ppl told her to stop. Only when she consulted he4 gynea, its ok to have a cup a day. Just minimize the intake, no need to stop totally. Its all about control I suppose.

momocrv, sterilizer and warmer are must-have items for me! newborns have weaker immune system hence it is best to sterilize the bottles and teats before using. same for breastpumps etc. warmer more applicable if you intend to express out your milk and store in fridge. it is a very convenient way to warm up the breastmilk before feeding via bottle.
Re: coffee
I will still indulge in half a cup every morning. need it to perk myself up!

I have the Spring ones, but find them more like half-cup coverage only. will only wear the bra at home 'cos my (.)(.) don't feel secure in them. lol! I prefer the Autumnz moulded cup ones. they offer more support and lifts up the breasts so also have this slight push-up effect. very soft and comfy too! got them for around $16 each. super worth it.

isenggirl, drink a cup of hot ginger tea before bedtime? wear socks on your feet too.
I bought a full cup one...the ones from Autumnz where did u buy it from?
I wear long socks entire night. Thought of having hot ginger tea but my mom said its too heaty if drink daily. I am in my 2nd tri already.. is this even common?
Yeah I am not sure if I need to buy any jeans or pants later as I can still wear my clothes now and I am now coming to wk19.

Felt baby's kicks again! Gentler this time. Maybe cos i was listening to the radio. Haha kiasu, maybe shld start listening to classical music now!
When preggy with my #1, we kept singing twinkle twinkle little stars to her. Then I realised she recognised this particular song as a newborn from her expressions! Keke I feel so la, so listening to music is good for the baby. Who knows become a music prodigy

I just have my FA scan yesterday. Everything is normal. Thanks God. But baby so active moving all around but always turning down and did not want to face up. So sonographer cannot really see very clearly on the other parts except baby spine. lols.... I turn left and right side, baby also following. So funny. In the end it takes for about an hour to get the details. But I am happy to see the baby show quite in a long time. hahaha....

He told us if any complications or premature he will refer us back to NUH as the cost in private is ridiculously high. We really appreciate his honest feedback. Hubby also v happy with him. Likely we will go with him

same thing he told me and hubby. both of us like him a lot! 'cos he's very personal. he remembers our kids' names after all these years and will give us advices like an uncle.

@starrymommy, good to have present to yourselves on xmas ......just checked my vPost account and saw that my Black Friday loots for Carter's and Oshkosh have arrived! yippee~!! looking forward to receiving them by X'mas.
Yesterday I also have hospital tour at Mt Alvernia. They have christmas ambience already and looks so peaceful there. But I am still undecided whether want to deliver my baby at Mt A or TMC.....
Yes, I am very comfortable with him. Thanks for ur recommendation!same thing he told me and hubby.

mylilsheep, Mt Alvernia always gives me the very warm and cosy feel. what is it about TMC that you like but is lacking in Mt A?

@starrymommy, somehow I feel the nurses at TMC is more friendly than Mt A. That is the feeling during the hospital tour, but I have never been warded at Mt A, so not so sure about that.
Last time I stayed at TMC to remove my ovarian cyst and my experience is not bad. Nurse at TMC is nice and have sense of humour.
If I am not wrong, did you delivered your #1 at Mt A?

yes, I delivered #1 at Mt A. so will stick to it. you can go read up reviews of mummies who have just given birth recently in TMC and Mount A, to have a better "feel" of what to expect. my last time there was in Year 2011, so review probably out-dated liao. haha!
Hi starrymommy, dr john yam only delivers at mt a for caesarian am I correct? For natural its only at gleneagles?

momocrv, he can also do natural delivery at Mt A. in fact, any private hospital also can.
lil_mermaid, very easy leh!! go sign up for a vPost account. you will be given a specific USA address. when you buy from Carter's etc USA sites, just enter the delivery address assigned to you. vPost will track and handle all the rest. you just have to make payment and that's it!

really? next time best ask Dr Yam himself. i heard before he said he prefers Gleneagles since he is stationed there, easier to attend to you if you deliver there as well.

re: hospital
I have visited a couple of frens at Mt A before, they liked it there and I find that the environment seems cosier than TMC. Like I mentioned before, TMC's nurses always seem very busy and so less attentive. But overall experience was ok.
@starrymommy @momocrv Where is Dr Yam's clinic at, and is his waiting time long? I'm planning to switch gynae soon after my detailed checkup, and the idea of going back to my old one at TMC seems so sianz cos far away and need to wait so long even with appointment.
Deliver at Gleneagles oso not bad, its near and my pd is there!

cynn04, he has a clinic at Gleneagles Annex Block and another one at Jurong Point AcuFEM. wait time not long at all! in fact sometimes i get to see him the moment i reached the clinic and done with urine test. somehow he plans the appointments very well and get to spend quality time with his patients rather than rushing through the consultation and scans.
