Jenifur/ Celine: Me is very keen on meeting, but today can't, cos got to attend lecture class at Gleneagles.. I was the one who tried to organize a gathering at Suntec Marche the last time..then last minute cancelled, remember? In fact, that very day I was left to have dinner on my own
, coz I asked my hubby & my friends to make their own arrangements...so sad..
I find not many gals in this thread wanna meet up leh, dunno why? I though it'll be so much fun to make more friends who are in same situation as myself!! Sharing our concerns, happiness, excitement on the growing process of ourselves and our babies..

fushiastar: thanks for the immunization information.
u mean we can choose which ones we want BB to take ah?
Garfield: i did check with the nurse and was told that we normally start using the Purelan cream in our 32th weeks to prepare our nipples for breastfeeding (like what kris mentioned) Thats why i didnt buy it and maybe gynae will give me one when time comes.
kris: From the antenatal class i attended last sat, i saw that they do immerse infant when bathing (even though cord hasnt dry off).
Or maybe i'm confused??? so u are saying we only wipe BB with the water (which non rinse lactacid is added) so as to keep the cord dry. And when BB's cord drops off (which is about 7-10days), then we can use those rinsable type.
TMC say that they will give us a small bottle of lactacid or Johnson&Johnson in the hosp bag. So that bottle is sufficient to last through the initial stage. And i dont have to get a bottle myself now.
Nurse also mentioned to use sterilised cotton balls to clean BB's eye area. I only saw Lucky Baby got sterilised indicated outside its packaging. But i assume other BB brands of cotton balls (thought without indication that its sterilised) is ok to use to clean BB's eye area too?
Sorry to ask so much question again
Ah, will ask my hubby to ask his colleague her PD contact. I check with my hubby and he say the baby bear clinic is quite far from your house if u walk.

SSL.. yep.. can choose.. what type of immunization and where..
I think it's important for babies to be vaccinated against all the viruses.. It's just that you can choose to have all the viruses in one jab, or seperately..
Now I'm wondering if I should go for the 4 in 1 instead of the 5 in 1..

SSL.. that's what I'm not sure about and I have to go and find out..
What goes through my mind is whether the baby's immune response will be better if given the viruses seperately rather than together..
If all the viruses are in one jab, then the baby immune system will have to respond to all of them at the same time..
If given seperately, that may be better? Cos then the baby's immune system only has to manage one virus at a time.. so the immune response may be better? Produce more antibodies? Of course it means that the baby has to undergo more injections, but if it means a better immune response, then worth it..
Not sure.. have to go find out..
I'm definitely not going for the 6 in 1.. Cos although no problems in singapore.. there have been baby deaths associated with it in UK and US.. Not worth it..

huh...deaths resulting from 6-in-1 jabs ah?! I think the jabs are too strong for a newborn bb....i think i not going for the 6-in-1..
actually wat fushiastar said makes senses..i think going for 3-in-1 better cos can let bb body react to the vaccine 1 at a time...dun overload the bb...

<font face="Calisto mt"> My email is [email protected]. But I think once we fix a date, we should also post it here & check if anyone else here wana join us</font>
morraine!! sorry i didn't know!! hmm no prob u can call rehab at 64705719 n ask them if u can join today.. if not must wait till aug. if u deliver in oct, still got time.. no worries. also next visit to gynae in glen E, just go to rehab there to sign up for the class. Bring S$189!!!
SSL: Ya, I know TMC does bathe bb even before the cord falls off. I'm just being kiasi. Hee.. Cos need to dry the area a bit difficult leh. But before the cord falls off you will need to use a cord spirit to clean the area. TMC will giev you a small bottle which is more than enough.
wtp: ya lor, very long wait, but sometimes if bb is really quite ill the nurse will see if can squeeze you in or call the other SBCC clinics to book last min appt for you one.
The staff there are all very nice also.
And can tell they genuinely like children.
fuschiastar:
pregnant and sick is terrible lah.. everything takes double or even triple the time to recover.
Doc gave me Amoxicillin.. now my pee also smell like antibiotics!

fuschiastar:
wtp: has your son ever seen Dr Sharon Lim at SBCC? She's very very nice!!! Everytime the staff tell me Dr Ong not available can see Dr Lim or not, I'm very happy! Haha.. She's very patient and very encouraging where bf is concerned! She even shared briefly with me her own bf experience.
morraine..
can u try to call Glen E's antenatal again today? I usually have no problem getting through..
yesterdays' lecture was on NUTRITION Only.. not much actually... see if they allow u to join from lecture 2 onwards... if not you have to sign up for Aug's lecture and attend the labour exercises in Sep.. would it be too near to your delivery? if you are halfway thro' the class, and you deliver, then they wont refund you the balance, taht's wat they said to me....

kris: Yah... I like the staff there also. Very patient with kids. I was there when my son about 3 month old, he cried non-stop and one of the nurse helped me to carry him when she saw I looked helpless. I have seen Dr Sharon once, but most of the time when I was there to See Dr Ong, she's not in the clinic. Is she there all the time?
Would u be looking for her as your pd for this delivery or Dr Ong?
