Jojobar, U can get the young coconuts from Jason's Market at paragon. U can find it on the veg & fruits cooler fridge shelves.

Gilera, Even as 2nd time mummies, I had a very diffent pregnancy experience compared to #1. So I don't know what I would be expecting during labour this time round too. So personally I would rather play by ear (since I will not be in control), and leave it to the professionals to do their...

Pofy, Medisave: I think somehow u have misunderstood about the claimable $450. The $450 is the maximum amount claimable for your antenatal care expenses NOT delivery expenses. Antenatal care expenses refers to the expenses that you spent at your gynae's clinic for antenatal care before the...

gilera, If I remember correctly, 1 tube of epi can last for about 6 hours and its costs about $300 per tube at Mount A in 2009. bubblygeekypig, If u are worried that durians are too heaty, take more ice cream - especially those very fattening flavours. :P

pofy, I am not sure if TMC provides free lactating consultation during the stay. You might need to ask the nurse. I am only sure that lactating consultation is free at Mount A during stay.

gilera, I realised that my birth story is very detailed and lengthy. So I decided not to post here. I can PM u the story if u are interested. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

gilera, Whether VE hurts or not will depends on ur pain tolerance. Btw, ur gynae will not be the only person who will be doing VE check. The mid-wife will need to do VE check for you constantly to check ur cervix dilation when u are admitted for delivery. The mid-wife will get u to be ready...

luv, You sure you want to experience engorgement? The pain is no joke. To me, the pain is worst than having migrane. I had only experienced it once and I tell myself never let it happen again. You already managed to squeeze out 1 drop of colostrum already? What week are u in now? I haven't...

Hi mummychanel, I suppose its personal preference. I am a lazy person who finds sterilizing and warming milk a hassle in the middle of the night. And I will feel very bad for daddy (who needs to work the next day) to wake up in the middle of the night to do all the warming, feeding, washing...

mummychannel, U can always choose to do direct latching instead of pumping out the milk. In that case, u will be able to save the time for washing, sterilizing and warming milk and spend the time sleeping. I only used my breast pump at the initial stage to establish my milk supply. After that...

Huishan, Severe breast engogement will cause mummy to have high fever. So do try to wake up at nite to latch or pump out the BM constantly. It might be tough especially when we still need to entertain #1 in the day time. But let's Jia You together so that our babies can get the best and...

winnie, Fridge to Go should be able to keep the BM cool in the office where there is sufficient air-condition. But, to be on the safe side (just in case I need to go out of office for meetings), I bought 2 extra ice packs to place at the top and the bottom of the bag and my BM feels as cold...

HappyMoMo, I think mummychanel is refering to "Fridge to Go" bag. Its a bag to store ur expressed BM and keep it cool for 12 hours. But u will be freeze the bag by putting it in ur freezer every night when u go home. So its electricity free and battary free. No need office approval...

Hi pofy, Don't worry about milk supply for now. I am also worried when I had my #1. I got very desperate bcos my milk supply didn't came in after 3 days and everybody was insisting that I should give my gal FM. The situation was so bad until I broke down and cry for almost an hour in front...

Hi mummies, I am looking for good part-time to help cleaning up my house at sbw after I deliver. Does any one have any local aunties to recommend? Mummies from FB secret group can ignore my request since I have posted on FB group too...
