vaingal/berry,
me too can't pull up my jean... my hubby even dared to say i fat
!!!! then i always say thank for his "contribution".. how much does the ysl total fitness serum cost?
me too can't pull up my jean... my hubby even dared to say i fat
here's what i remember from the robinson's sale this afternoon:
1. nursing bras: the lady i asked just pointed me to this mannequin with this pink bra.. like i said it doesn't look very glam lah, made entirely of cotton i guess with little clasps for you to remove a flap, but for $9 i just bought it lor. can't remember the brand though..
2. disposable undies: had some next to the maternity bra, think 3 packs of 5 for $9. also had some other brand that selling for 2 packs for $7.90. on this note, i actually have seen disposable undies at Watsons, $1.99 for 7 and at the $1.05 shop for 5. dunno how good though, and size limited..
3. pyjamas: hmm, not much range, but i bought this $11 one which looks like some sort of coat, has zip all down the front, looks quite warm so maybe good to wear in hospital.
4. maternity pads: don't think they have that. i saw some strange brand of pads and i couldn't figure out what they were!? yellow packaging.. and when i read the details it said something like "suitable for those who leak urine" something like that? i freaked out and quickly put it back in case ppl think i do, ha ha.
5. diapers: they had this brand called Fixies. I never heard of the brand so didn't dare to buy, but like NB is $11 for 3 packs of 20, if i remember correctly.
6. bottles: had small range but i'm not familiar with the brand.. think it's like, cartoon type.
7. head support pillows for babies: had quite a good range, price between $5.90 - $15.90.
8. some tollyjoy items like nappy liners, wet tissues..
9. over at the toiletries section away from the babies section they had some pureen brand detergent, shampoo.. anyone knows if pureen is good for that sort of stuff?
10. cots, prams, strollers, car seats: had quite a large range i thought, but i didn't have time to examine and anyway if i buy i'll rather have my hubby with me. but they have some bedding for cot.. very limited.. i was looking for the full set (usually 7 pc set, including bolsters, pillows, bumpers, bed sheet, comforter) and found 1 set selling for $39.90. The rest are like, just pillow and bolster or with blanket.
hope this helps at this late hour when you guys probably on the way down!

tbl,
My next appt is 3 wks time, on Oct 29. How about u? I think after next appt, our appt will be cut short to maybe once a/2 wk. Have u done any CTG? My doc said she will do it for me when i'm at wk 37. I never do any glucose test. Maybe my gynae don practise this unless she suspect something wrong.

Oranges,
dont worry. i read that bb hiccups is very normal. My ger also keep on hiccups every day. i just give her plain water sometimes. but doesnt really help. its ok one. i asked the pd before.sometimes u see they sleep, they will like breathing very hard, or sudden scare movement, all is normal one.
It not too late to "bu" at all. u can take till whenever u wan. But later stage at 3rd trimester, try to drink some cooling things so that bb borned wont have those pimples like thing.

thanks for the detailed report on the robinsons sale! i bought the pureen anti-bacterial detergent - a friend recommended to me. pureen also has a gentler version but i'm a bit paranoid abt germs/bacteria so bought that one to try first, if bb's skin is too sensitive, then i'll switch to the gentler one.

i just saw the toyogo drawers at cold storage jelita. saw the ad for it in the papers today, general merchandise, such as the drawers are not available at bugis, changi airport, china sq, funan, harbour front, toa payoh and village center, so the other branches should all have.

Sun,
your bb is sooo cute...
Sharon,
Mt A do provide a small bag of toiletries it do hav toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a face towel n etc... maybe you could jus bring your face cleanser for toiletries. As for bb, i think you jus bring one bootie for going home will do cos bb will be wrap around in a blanket and cover by a blanket, the nursery room hav heater so baby won't be that cold. As for bb wipes, they do provide and when you discharge they will give a diaper bag, inside fill with lotsa sample include bb wipes..

Sharon,
one more thing.. it depend on you actually, but i think its better to bring a receiving blanket as well cos it easier for u to hold the baby when you r on your way home.

by the way there's also a small baby fair outside of metro tampines, between century square and tampines mall. but doesn't have much, some bedding, cot, playpen, prams, car seats, strollers, some avent stuff, some tollyjoy stuff, some clothes, some toys. there was an ad in y'day paper. they did have crib sets price range from $29.90 - $69.90 though.
sharon, thanks for sharing the hospital list. i didn't know had to bring so much stuff for admission! will use ur list as my guide though i will be at GEH and heard they don't provide much stuff.

Hi girls, Angelia messaged me. She gave birth to baby Shanice (3.63kg) yesterday morning at 11.29am after a 12hr labour.
She had induction as planned. Used gas initially but switched to the epidural later. Vacuum was also needed.
Poor angelia said that she was so sick yesterday she only managed to enjoy her meal this morning.
Here's wishing her a speedy recovery and hope to see her here soon

He used a long plastic thingy with a small hook at the end, put it in and scrapped the bag till it broke. When he did it for my 1st labour, it was really really painful but this time round was better. My girl's a little yellow but these 2 days are so cloudy, so can't sun her. Other than that she's latching on well but my nipples are so sore!
August
I didn't experience any cramps or backache the day b4, just on the day itself. But I felt very tired. Glad that ur inlaws will be here soon, hang in there!
Beanie
I did use gas.....it worked for me coz my labour was so quick.
BlisseBlisse
Moms in Mind sells a variety of nursing bras incl. those suitable for spaghetti tops.
MTx3
I really hated the cervix check. They poke so deep in it was so painful. That was why I specified 'minimum vaginal examination' in my birth plan. They really left me alone till I asked for one prior to delivery. But that single one quite horrible coz the nurse left her fingers in there till my next contraction. Argh!!!!!
Did any of ur confinement ladies say they can't wash ur panties as it'll bring us bad luck?
