sometimes i really envy those mummies who have PILs to fuss around them. Mine dont at all. Till now they have not lifted their hands to do or bought anything for our BB. My PILs already got so many grandchildren so they are not excited about it...haha!!

But luckily i have my mama whose always there to lend me a helping hand. She cooks for me, does housework and prepare BB stuff together with me

 

[shers]

whats the topic today?? dont bother to scroll up and read

 

[hoonie]

Re: My baby's Journey Journal
For those who are not aware, you can actually get a goodies bag consisting one journal (for you to record the baby's journey for conception to birth and then to his 1st birthday and such)and one CD (stories,songs and etc) from any library.. got mine yesterday its really nice.. you guys shd also get one too...

Btw iBite - congratulations to you!!

 

[pinkdolpine88]

Hi Tinkles,

Sorry i didnt reply earlier... my gynae is super safe wan.. he puts me thru so many tests just to make sure baby is ok...

As for EDD, he is going to induce me ard 38 weeks (ard 15 May) cos i have gestational diabetic..

 

[porky_jean]

yvette, u mean the one collect from NLB ? i have collected it since last year..but only use the cd..haha...the others just left it one side...

 

[pinkdolpine88]

Hi Porky,

Yape, i didnt realised NLB offers such service until my cousin told me about it

 

[porky_jean]

my fren told me abt it last year...so i went to collect...the other stuffs i never use leh...too lazy to go thru it...but the cd not bad lah...we play inside the car for our little bb..hehe

 

[pinkdolpine88]

[cheyanne]

porky...

yup...couldnt ROM earlier cuz wanted mummy's health to be better so she can attend...

we din have wedding dinner too...cuz mummy cant tahan to sit for long...so it is just a chop chop thing...

thus alot of ppl thought we shotgun...but i dont care...

cant pop without informing MIL one...cuz also consider rude....better dont be nasty....

 

[carolinequek]

Yvette - who is your gynae? Good that your gynae is very detailed.

 

[lc_gal]

how do u get the goodie bag from NLB?

do we have to pay or show anything?

 

[pinkdolpine88]

Hi Tinkles Mum,

My gynae is Tan Han Yang at Gleneagles. He is ard 50 plus and very serious (Kind but serious). I had a miscarriage before and he took really good care of me so when i found out i was pregant again.. i went back to him. Since then he has taken extra care to make sure baby is ok.. He is very assuring...

 

[pinkdolpine88]

Hi Lalitha,

Its free, u just have to show your tummy and your ic..

 

[ak4gn]

Yvette, porky - i just came back from the library. if only i had read your post before going out. haha.

 

[jamie_nov]

porky: ur v nice. if me, i wont care if my mil feel sad. hahaha

muffintop: yea true she is mother of our hb, bt we are mother of our bb. think we have the first say to wat we want for our bb. also she not my mother, i dun nd to listen to her. haha.

piggypig: my in laws also bo chap me. i kinda got used to it le. tho i made up my mind dat my bb gt nothing to do with them. my girl will b their first grand child. so it's even more weird y they are nt excited abt it. bt i have my mommy too. tho she goes nuts sometimes bt better than my weird PILs. =D

 

[porky_jean]

yvette, wow ur gynae very good leh...i also got a miscarriage under my gynae..but once i told him tat i expecting again..he treat me like normal wor...not like very serious or take extra care of me leh...so everytime i went to see him, i will make sure he tell me that my bb is still growing and heartbeat is normal...he always ask me not to worry only...

 

[porky_jean]

jamie, i try not to make my mil feel sad lah...else difficult leh...we facing each other everyday...i also dont wish my DIL to treat me like dat next time...hahaha...so contradicting...

ak, so now u knw..can go library again and flash ur tum tum and i/c

 

[pinkdolpine88]

Hi Porky,

He is really good la.. he knows i was very very upset when i miscarriaged last year.. so he will tell me not to worry and that bb is fine and growing well whenever i go for checkup. The prob is.. he is not the kind to joke or create small talk..

 

[porky_jean]

cheyanne, ya can understand...dont care wat other ppl say lah...as long bb is healthy and u look forward to be a happy mummy

 

[cheyanne]

sian...my MIL got angry...say how can i touch water...how can i bathe? worst when he told her i going to slp in aircon...she really breakout...say how can? she cant even on the fan....

[little_squirrel]

Any mummies here use Seba Med bubble bath for baby? Is it good? If good I want to buy big bottle $35 (just found the shop) cheaper than other shop $49.90

 

[adelyee]

hi mummies!! need some advice here.. where do i get the herbs for bathing during confinement ah? if i can't get it, i'll prob soak myself in the bath tub with bath salt, milk etc.. lol instead of herbs.. lol..

 

[pinkdolpine88]

Hi Adrienne,

You can buy the herbs from any chinese medical hall

 

[poohwei]

Just went for my gynae visit just now. Baby weighs 1.7kg at 33 weeks. Considered small still right? I have been trying to eat as much as i can liaoz...Have put on 9kg so far. Any other ways to fatten baby up other than durian? My gynae is not in favour of me taking durian cos she says that the sugar from durian is not good for baby..

Just started to ask my maid to wash all the baby's clothes..counting down..
Congrat to ibite.

 

[little_squirrel]

Adrienne,
any medical hall will have I think 1 pack $3.

 

[pinkdolpine88]

[ak4gn]

audrey - you are really into online shopping, aren't you? how much is it in sgd?

 

[bb_hopeful]

muffintop,
how come bb can from engaged become disengaged? nvr hear before leh...
i'm trying to work till i pop. hopefully!

porky,
why ur MIL like dat? for me, either i carry or use infant car seat. confirm no one else carry!
u will be carrying bb while u r in hospital. sure noe how to carry la. it's mother's instinct!

cheyanne,
haha... i also feel like saying the same thing. too many people, esp the experienced mummies in office trying to give me info & nagging at me! can drive me crazy!
hubby keep saying bring me for hotel retreat, but keep saying ex! forget it! dun go liao! i think i'm having PND soon.

yvette,
can collect at any branch? or specific branch only?
