Hi Taurus,
I saw the device in Mothersworks . i think there are 2 types. the one whereby we can hear our BB heartbeat, hiccups and also a microphone is $59.90 and there is another one with a complete set like CD included and maternity belt is $100+.
I am also thinking abt it and not sure how good it is.

ivy: i started on bb clothes only and its already costing me a bomb. trying not to spend so much on clothes cause they will outgrow it very fast. too bad i have no one to pass it own to me
the cot, pram and carseat definitely will cost alot esp the breast pump if u intend to express out the milk. was thinking of getting these exp item month by month first so at least not so xiong.

Wow ladies shopping for babies already?
Can go to Mothercare or Taka to get a list of what to get for your babies. That was what I did for no 1. They are more thorough as they are trying to make money from you. Of course, you do not need to follow to a t... A good suggestion is to buy during baby fair. Things will be cheaper.

Hi Ladies!!
Thanks Milo for the list of things to get for bb. Honestly speaking, i have not gotten anything yet so far. Not even maternity wear as i can still fit into my clothes. But my tummy has more or less shown and my student even asked me whether i am pregnant because my tummy looks big haha!
I am just trying to delay time... really until i can't squeeze into my clothes anymore then i will start to spend.
12 is really not a magical figure. I am in my 13th week and still feeling nauseous at times. The only blessing is i can eat my dinner better now and have appetite for decent meals.
Taurus, u mentioned about MS getting more serious and about thyroids. There may not be a linkage afterall as my pregnant colleague really vomit throughout her trimesters. She is now in her 23 weeks or so and she still vomit after dinner and sensitive to smells and food. so just have to bear with it

Morning ladies
I agree that Milo's list is really comprehensive. Thks Milo for sharing.
For the big ticket items, you can ask around to see if they have hang me downs. When my daughter grows out of baby cot, high chair, baby car seat, I can't wait to pass on to someone who needs it. I already got a baby cot which I 'reserved' from my friend
This is my 11th wk and I am feeling so sian everyday, work also no mood

Hi kk,
Yah, gynae worried coz she noticed that my neck area abit swollen which is quite obvious ... and coupled with the vomitting which is getting from bad to worst ... she feels that its better to check .. coz thyroid might affect the pregnancy if not treated ... luckily the blood tests results showed that I am cleared of thyroid ... so now can only "ren" and wait for my MS to subside ... luckily office wil be closed for the whole of next week ..so looking forward to having a real good rest at home ...

Taurus,
your mum so nice huh? My mum is okie with caring for weekdays but she say if i can cope, then shld bring back the BB every nite. I will think i will try after the BB is 6 mths old? Cos too young, i scare i cannot cope..
One interesting thing came up last nite. My mum told me that my younger sis' own cot is still in the store room! Meaning that the cot is almost 24 yrs old liao!! She say still usable, i almost laugh till jaw drop. Nevertheless, will get my bro-in-law to try fix it and see how.
It will be so fun if the old cot is still usable!

Taurus,
if you only see the BB on weekend, may end up not close to you..Then will feel heartpain.
Maybe you can leave with your mum then still go home every evening for dinner and play with BB till BB slp, then you go home to the West. At least you still get to see BB everyday!
I agree that grandparents will spoilt the kids! Haha...

Hi Ladies,
I went to look around for baby cots as nobody to pass to me. I saw those traditional wooden types as well as those more modern ones with cartoons plastic covers at the side and is lower near the ground level. I don't know which is a better buy as no experience. Any advice??

Hi Taurus,
My choice would be my mum to look after my bb but my mum is working for my dad and it could be difficult. I m trying to persuade her .
Otherwise we try to ask HB cousin to help lor. I dun really like the idea of infant childcare but if no choice i will do that. My company does hv subsidies for some appointed childcare.

Thanks Ivy & Taurus!!
Taurus, if you are going every night to see bb, then you might as well bring bb home as you already made a trip there. hee!! if not weekends BB go home will cry at the unfamiliar place one. That's what happened to one of my collegue's BB. Then every weekend got to spent the whole Fri night soothing the BB.

Hee! Tha's really around S'pore in one day! But just let you know what my collegue has experienced so you can be mentally prepared
ladies,
You are so lucky . when we bought our house , it is more on the resale value and the environment. In fact before i got married, i move different area and i find East is the best for me. But my parents want to be near their sibling so they decided to stay in the West.

Hi Ladies,
Seems like nobody having in laws to look after bb for u?
For me, i stay sengkang but mum now stay at tampines with my brother's family. And my brother already has 3 kids! So it's not quite possible for my mum to take care of another one. My mum not even possible to be with me for confinement
So final decision is to let my mil take care of bb. She will be with me during confinement as well. Moreover, she stay sengkang, just a few blocks away.
Sigh, no matter how unwilling i am, i dun think i have a better choice. This is another thing i worry. Whether i can get used to my mil around in my house during my confinement. And whether the bb will be ok under her care. And whether i am ok with her method of upbringing of child. SIGH!!!!
Although we stay near each other, dun think we can bring bb back every nite as we go to work very early in the morning. It will really be tiring to carry the bb back and forth. But anyway, too early to tell rite? Maybe i stick to my bb so much that i dun mind the tiredness.. hahaha...
That is what happen to some couples and their bb. They stick so close such that they dun go out without their bb, they dun go tour without their bb.
