Gan,
They have those infant tops with buttons. In fact, they have more designs with buttons than tie. I find the prices are affordable.
Bing,
Really? You will be at ADC before that? I will also be at ADC. My appt is 845am. I have glucost test in the morning then followed by my appt at 1030+ at Clinic D. I need to fast the night before.
How come you are not doing your scan in Dr Loh's clinic?
Like you, i also bought those 0-3 or 0-6, but my mum really find it big. So I went HDB shop at whampoa to buy those tie front opening. Lucky only $1.90. Otherwise, how to buy a dozen back.. LOL. When I went home, after comparison, I realised what my mum mean.. LOL. Those that I bought are really kinda big.. LOL.
Thanks for your "warning" on the zipper. I will take note when it is my turn to wash. It is now lying in the storeroom. We haven't done any washing yet.
The address is Blk 82 Whampoa Drive. It is first or second shop if you are coming from the whampoa hawker centre or NTUC (Blk 80).

Hello.. Just to share.. I put bb's bathtub on top of the covered toilet bowl & bathe him sitting on a stool. To get hot water, take from shower head. To pour, just pour into basin, all within reach. But got to wrap bb in towel, carry him out to change.

Sorry have not transferred u the $ yet. Will do it later during lunch k.. My elder girl has been down with fever, flu and cough over the weekend. Hai~ So headache. Oh, I ask Dr Tan abt pelvic pain on sat, she told me it might be the posture leh. Ask me to wear a belt. Just nice the tummy belt came handy..
So far so god, no pain liao.had been feeling the pain on fri and sat. But now seems ok. Dunno is it cos I rested enug on sat and sun so the pain went off or is it the belt..
Gan, wa.. done with cot shopping le arh.. good good.. one thing less to worry.
Faith,
Is your massage lady good? I have not gotten mine leh. Thinking of getting one. Can you pass me her contact? She will go to our place de right? She uses jamu or something is it? I am already 28 weeks. Thinking of doing massage too leh. cos lately my legs have started to experience cramps le.. So tot massage will relax my muscles a little?
Rose,
Do check with doc on the discharge. But my DR did tell me last time that as long as dun see red, should be fine. Maybe u try to take more fruits so that u wont use so much strength while clearing ur bowels..

Tickles,
My indonesian massage lady uses ginger/lemon grass for massage. The smell is pleasant. In fact, I really miss the massage sessions that I used to have regularly. I remember she mentions about pre-natal massage will help to reduce water retention. So far, I have neither of water retention and muscle cramps *touch wood*. I will recommend her service to those who need.
We have know her for many years liao. And most importantly, she is often punctual in her appointment. If you are keen, I will PM you her number.

Better ask your doc b4 doing massage k.. Last time my doc tell me to use heat pad to ease my pain. Else ask hub to do those gentle rubbing using palm also can.. But dun massage cos u dunno which acu points cannot press. Same goes for foot massage.

Gan,
Thou 6m, but if doc say cannot also cannot start de.. Need to check with your doc as u gt history of spotting. When I say 5m and above, meaning very stable pregnancy without spotting etc..

Cos I intend to start clearing leave end nov/ early dec. I feel that thou my edd is 17 dec. BUt most likely baby will come early dec cos my #1 also came 2 weeks early.
Ask u huh? ur belt hor, u wear ourside ur pants or inside huh? Cos I usually wear tights, the material not very thick, so I just wear the belt outside leh. Can right? The belt is wear at the hip there de right then the extra cloth is to cover the belly?

skies,
yes, she do both pre and post natal massage. 10 sessions $500.
JJ,
according to her, only 7 months onwards then can do pre-natal massage. You are too early lah... it is normal to feel aching now. Cos uterus expanding. So is your pelvic.
Tickles,

Buying bb stuff is fun but tiring...i was alos very tired after the shopping

Gan, you are not alone. I am also big size. Not "quite". But really big size. So far, I think I only put on 3kg. My target is not exceeding 5 kg. My tummy is not obvious when I wear baggy top. But is really obvious when I wear tight tops. 
I dun really pay attention to my tummy size. I just want my gal to grow healthy... I met my cousin at the Airport y'day. She said, if I dun say, nobody will know I am 6 months preggy. Cos I look the same as before. Also dunno to be happy or sad.. hehe.
Dr Loh also replied me the same thing. Stomach muscles.
And yes, nobody gives up their seat in the train.. LOL. I always have to hold the handles tightly... LOL.
You settle your breast pump already?

Just Faith,
not exceeding 5kg is impossible.. haha! Initially the weight I put on is also very slow. Like 4 weeks put on 0.5kg that type. Then last month I put on 1.9kg. The previous month I put on 2.4kg. So total weight gain for me now is 7.9kg. I still gt like 2.5mths more to go.. so hopefully can put within 12kg of weight increase then I'll be happy liao.

Tickles,
Is your tummy ache very painful? Better go see doc, I had stomach flu twice during my 1st tri, was a terrible feeling.
Thanks for your advice on my spotting. Today i had a bit of brownish spotting again during bowel movement. I am not constipated, I cleared every day, but quite a lot of poo. Think I will eat more fruits...
Gan, when u start purchasing for baby stuff? U r 25 wks liao? Time flies... I am 20 wks and with the spotting, I really thought of getting no paid leave to full term...but sianz to stay at home for another 4 months or so. Still considering...

Baby79 - have you bought the cot? I checked with both OG and Tangs today.
Tangs cot = $199, comes with foam mattress and travel bed. Can upgrade to latex mattress (add another $129) or fibrelux/husk mattress (add another $149.
OG cot = $169, comes with foam mattress. Cannot upgrade to latex, need to pay $202 to buy the latex mattress. They don't have fibrelux mattress in that size in OG.
So if you plan to upgrade to latex or fibrelux, then makes more sense to buy from Tangs. If not planning to change, then OG will be cheaper.
I think I will get from Tangs since I'm planning to change the mattress.

Pandawife - are you planning to go back to work after you deliver your bbs? Or planning to be SAHM?
working wife,
i will stay at home for at least 6 mths..wanna try n see if can bf the babies as much as possible.. after tht then decide if wanna go back to work......
all depends on whether my parents n mil can cope with the babies...if they can ...then i will go back to work.. if not too well, i will stay at home for 2 yrs.. after tht send the kids to childcare n go back to work
i will very likely consider career switch.. coz the nature of my work, working hours can be quite demanding..
u leh??

Panda,
I always thought that I'm the kind who will work after having kids. But now it depends on the situation. The plan is still to go back to work after 5 months, but depends on how my mum coping with the kids (and whether I can leave them or not!!) my frens say after you have the bbs, sure sayang so much don't wanna go back to work!
My mum can help take care cuz she is not working, and I'm the only child
so that's all she is looking foward to do.
My job also quite stressful leh... maybe I talk to the company that for the first couple of years, i do a role which is less stressful.. slower progression never mind lah. We work just to pass time and get income... no need high high post and fast fast promotion lah....
