SSL: Sorry leh, I really dun know the prices for the formula and diapers. For formula dun buy too early lah. And just a tin of 400g is enough if you intend to and insist on bfing. So perhaps the the price difference may not matter so greatly? As for diapers, if the price difference between Mamypoko and Petpet/Drypers is very big then I personally feel it's ok to use Petpet or even Drypers. You do not need to worry abt bb's umbilical cord as (1)bb doesn't feel any pain there and (2) you can easily fold down the front of the Petpet/Drypers diapers to leave the stump exposed. Also, the stump may fall off within the 1st 5-7 days. I will be buying either Petpet or Drypers S size as my cousin who just gave birth to her 2nd bb showed me that the Pampers NB size is the same as the Drypers S size. And the price difference is really big. An any case, whatever diapers we use, we MUST change it very frequently, so it's not like the more expensive ones can last longer at this stage. It's prob more economical for us to invest in a good nappy rash cream.

About diapers, I ended up buying a packet each of Huggies NB which is quite mid range and Petpet S + Pampers baby dry S
Hi all,
I have found more cozy pals for those who are still interested. They have Noni, Maxi and Lolli. However, there's a price difference. It's now going at $38 per cozy pals. The price is high I know but if anyone interested, please pm me. I am not earning any profit as I will show receipt for all to see.
I will order only if there are more than 10 interested. If not, I shall leave it as it is...

Dont be disheartened. As long as BB is growing well, you just monitor your carbo and sugar intake.
Why she didnt take BB's weight leh? Did she ask u to go for GTT because she find that BB's weight and your amniotic fluid is too much?
At least you have a good news, ie BB's head is down already

my baby is 2.2kg at 33 weeks. my gynae said baby is not head down yet and if she does, i should be worried.
he told me about the side effects of epi again. he said last week at MA, a woman used epi and became paradised.
now, i muz rethink again. hopefully i can endure the pain and opt out of epi.

mydreambaby,
wow the news of becoming paralysed becos of epidural is really scary. Issit true? What happen? I am very determine to use the epidural leh.
Fushiastar,
My colleague gave me a brand new baby cot and play pen. I put the play pen in my mum's place so that when I visit my mum, my bb has place to sleep. I use bb cot in my own house.
My colleague advice is that bb usually dun like to sleep in play pen as it can be quite warm,bb cot is cooler. However, for bb cot, u can utilise it only the most 6 mths, after which, when the bb starts to climb up, it's too dangerous for him to sleep in bb cot. and bb cot will become a white elephant then.
I intend to use the cot until 6 mths. Anyway it's free from my colleagues, hehe.
All MTBs,
Did anyone of your feet swell? I am in my 34th week +, and I have swollen foot now. My mum said it's not that kinda swell caused by water retention. she said one week after the swell subside, I will deliver the bb. dunno how true. But one thing for sure, it's so difficult to walk with a swollen foot.

The reason why she asked me to take GTT cos glucose appear in my urine test for 3 times liao.. so she said better to test lor.. She did mentioned that there's plenty of water for baby to move around thats it..
Ok me going off soon to SGH for the test.. sigh.. hungry but cannot eat until after the test..

Kuririn. Hope that your GTT turns out ok.. Don't be sad.. At the most, diet control for about 2 months.. We are all gonna see our babies soon
Fiona, Thanks.. Where do you intend to have your baby sleep after 6 months? The baby cot- a Mamalove brand one, I got is convertable to a junior bed.. I thought that it can be used til about 5-6 years old.. As for the playpen, thought maybe I'd use it when baby's about 6 months onwards in the day to put baby in when I'm at home and doing stuff..
My feet are only very slightly swollen, but fingers are more swollen than feet.. Maybe it's cos I always sleep with my feet elevated.. You can try that..

fushiastar,
after 6 months, I will let my bb sleep in the playpen.
Last time, I used to have swollen feet due to water retention, I will sleep with my feet raised up on a pillow. It works perfectly well. However, this time, the swollen feet is not due to water retention, even when I raise my feet up, the swell doesn't seems to subside.
Hi Fun,
wow you are alreadi in your 36th week. In fact, you may have less than 4 weeks to go. Gynae says according to statistics, chances of bb arriving before 40 weeks is 60%.

As I failed my GTT, my gynae wanted me to do glucose monitoring at home (ie. I have to prick my finger 6x a day for twice a week to get glucose readings), as well as to monitor my diet.
Thats why I cant eat alot of things that MTBs have been talking about here.
But I'm used to it.

Just to share, I found that DHA capsules at GNC are much cheaper than Neurogain.. Neurogain-250mg DHA is about $29 for 30 capsules at Watsons, I found DHA capsules 250mg- the same amount as in Neurogain- a bottle of 60 capsules for about $26..

fushiastar & SSL:
I will only know the results earliest by monday.. the sugar water so sweet (yikes).. yesterday had been drowning myself with water to flush out the sugar water after the test.. SSL like you, my gynae said if I fail the test then I have to see a dietician to control my diet and also learn how to prick myself to test for glucose everyday..

My gynae didnt refer me to dietician. My self appointed dietician is my hubby
he is very strict but i think its good for me and baby.
Ask me to control on my own (basically cutting down on sugar and carbo). I got alot of useful advice from forum gals here and some friends who had Gestational Diabetes during their pregnancy and have been controlling my diet.
I cut down half of my rice intake and avoided sugar, yellow noodles, cakes, desserts, coffee, milo and white bread totally. Probably the only sugar i take are those from fruits.
But now, i reverted back to eating white bread in small quantities cos I've been losing weight [all those gained (which is already not alot) during pregnancy are all lost] and got assurance from gynae that as long as I control my diet, and baby is growing well, the readings doesnt matter.
Hope your result will turn out to be ok
Anyway, like what ClarisseMummy & Sneaky said, we only have few weeks to go before we can all see our baby

Hi Morraine,
Sorry for the late reply....
Marriage Cert is needed when we need to use our HB CPF for our medicial bill...
I am not sure whether the hospital need them during pre-admission or when we settle the bill... In order to play safe, we better bring a copy of the marriage cert if we want to use HB CPF for our medicial bill...
Original will be needed if we register name for our baby...

SSL: try to drink more water. i make it a pt to make sure i have lots of water before i go check up, so i can flush all the sugar in time. water helps to clear our system too.. now i can drink water without vomitting.. i drink lots lots of it.

Hi Gals,
Advise from my friends :
If you all are getting HB Formula Milk for stand by, tried to get sample from the supplier / distributors / clinic / hosiptal. I believe they are willing to give some samples to you. If you buy and found out that FM is not suitable, then it will be a waste...
So far has anyone done a 3D Scan? How much does is the cost of the 3D Scan?
Fushiastar,
My belly button part was sunken in also but mine was the upper part was protruding..

Kris, which Kiddy Palace? I just checked at the KP- TPY last friday.. don't have.. Incontinence sheets are necessary right?
My friend delivered at KKH and she managed to ask the nurses for them and was given quite a few sheets but I don't know if they'll give me at NUH, so better buy..
