so i will boil water to wash those bottles. i will need to add the boiled water to normal tap water before i wash the bottles right? otherwise wont it be too hot for the bottles??
And i will also be washing the teats, breast pump parts (not motor) and other things using the same water?
one thing to ask u about steriliser. i read that once we sterilise those bottles, it can tahan for 6hrs (without opening the lid). does it mean that once we open the lid to use one set of bottles/teats, we will need to sterilise the rest of the remaining bottles/teats before we can use them? what do u normally do leh?
sorry for asking so much.

Sneaky,
I was reading this thread and getting very excited for you! The last time we met you were just into your 2nd trimester? Looks like things are going great and you'll pop anytime soon! Hope you have a smooth delivery!
Ling,
Clarisse is a good girl... turned head down already! Do inform me if there's a gathering next...
Same for all Oct MTBs... very excited for you all! I still have 7 weeks to full term!
Ladies,
I remember someone here mentioned about using baby lotion on baby while still in hospital. May I know the different between baby lotion and baby oil?? Or are they the same!?!??

Ya Kris and Sneaky,
I think we will go according to our maternal instinct. We should know when to report to hospital.
Since our Gynae's clinic is at Mt. E, think whenever we 'thought' we experience real contractions, we will report to the clinic first to let the gynae check, if he gives the green light then we head for the hospital. In this case, we do not have to pay for the extra stay in the hospital if they are the false contractions..haha...can save money this way leh.
This last trimester is indeed very torturous, each day is like a waiting and guessing game for us...

hi
wow, seems like all of us now very kan cheong already. When I told my hubby that Jennifur popped a mth b4 EDD, he asked me what to bring to hospital and wrote it down, also very kan cheong.
have been experiencing cramps on and off too and at times a very heavy feeling down there, like something's coming out.
aim to start my ML 1 Oct, rushing to complete my work for handover this week.
mrs tan, I have pm u my contact. anything can sms me too since u won't be logging in.

True. I hope I will experience contractions, show or water bag burst after 1.30p.m after my hb's lesson time, so that we can save one day of paternity leave...hehe. but having said all these, we can't choose when the bb wants to come out..the bb got the say over this, not us.

mm.. hi mummies: i have been experiencing a prickly weird pain at the end of my left ribcage area.. and it jus wouldn't go away.. no matter what posture i change to. any of u have experienced this before? its pretty constant kind of pain.. (pain is like in the milder form of gastric pain but its not)..
Hi mummies,
just discovered this website which showed a short video clip on the labour process. You may want to take a look.

Hi Adel,

Adel,
I dunno how a menstrual cramp is like, cos I never experience dat in my life. Hmm but my gynae did mention dat for true contractions, the pain is at the highest point of the tummy...i.e. the centre of ur tummy. But better be safe than sorry, give ur gynae a call to find out what's happening.

fiona: now ya scaring me.. mm.. i will probably bear with the pain and call my gynae in the morning.. not so nice to call.. now ba..
if pain getting worse.. maybe i'll end up in the hospital.. but i still feel tat its not contractions leh.. my thoughts abt contractions would be.. like.. maybe.. i'll be in pain till am all curled up in bed now.. screaming n shouting away.. not now.. holding onto the painful side and wishing it away.

Usually I will have the pain you describe during sleeping time when i lie on either sides for too long. and sometimes, the pain just come and i will seemed to be out of breath. its like gastric pain. but there's no interval or pattern so i didnt bother about it.
i tot cos my boy's position is head near ribcage so not enough space for him to move about. and he is probably trying to stretch himself and hence the pain

SSL: The point is to use water at boiling point (dun add any water) and just scald the bottles and stuff. You will need to use a pair of tongs for this cos yes, it will burn you. In a way this is like the first 'sterilising'.
As for the so-called 'sterilised for 6 hours', yes, it means that you dun open the lid. But what I do is that basically I DUN CARE loh..
I only sterilise abt 2-3 times a day. HOWEVER, if you are bfing, you hardly need to use any bottles at all, but you do need to sterilise the pump equipment EVERYTIME you use it.

Want another scan to check Zoe's growth.. Have been reading about IUGR.. Really hope she's grown more.. That she can hit 2.3-2.4kg when she's born.. Yah, I keep telling Zoe that she must grow a little bigge
ClarisseMummy
at least u can empty daily, I cant since i'm pregnant.
fushiastar
maybe u try to eat more white bread (like me). my boy's weight gained alot and i think cos i ate white instead of wholemeal bread now
And i tend to eat snacks at night before i go bed.
My next visit will be this sat and will be able to confirm if my c section date is confirmed.

SSL.. wow.. soon
all packed?
now packing hospital bag and nursery room at the same time. hahaha. always postpone packing hospital bag..... but scared too last minute.
Already finished washing all baby clothings, bedsheet sets, etc. Now left washing the bottles, teats, etc. and finalising the packing of the drawer i kept all the baby clothings and stuff.
Didnt buy those big drawer cabinet, only bought 5 tier toyogo plastic drawer. The clothings and towels, hankies etc already took up 3 drawers. So gotta make good use of the other 2 drawers. Putting bottles and supplies for cotton balls, wet wipes etc.

Ask u hor. If thats the case, will it be better (and easier and faster) to sterilise the bottles/teats instead of washing them in hot water? same bo?
And issit necessary to sterilise or wash those tongs, milk powder bottles, teat/bottle washer? or just wash them when i need to use them will do.
Part of me feels excited that the big day is coming and i have more confident compared to earlier trimester of taking care of Baby. But at times, I find that i am still not well prepared for alot of things, like making sure things are properly cleansed and pre-prepared for baby's usage.

SSL: EVERYTHING must be sterilised the first time. If you dowanna use hot water to scald then better use baby bottle detergent to wash all thoroughly BEFORE sterilising them in the steam steriliser. DUn just put straight into the steriliser cos there will be some dust etc that needs cleaning.
I can understand your mixed feelings... I'm also starting to wonder how i the world I'm gonna be able to handle 2 kids! And I'm worried for my elder girl cos she's so super duper sticky to me now... but I love her so much and enjoy her 'stickiness' to me at the same time I dun really wanna given up anything/ any time with her to care for #2... sounds so selfish and 'unmotherly' right? sigh...

All,
Wow seems like everyone is getting kan chiong alreadi, doing the packing, washing and cleaning. Or issit the nesting instinct that's on the play?hehe.
Me too bot the Toyogo 5-tier cabinets, dun seem to be enuf to put all bb stuffs leh.
Guess everyone of us is worried if we can cope once bb is out. hmm guess, we gotta learn thru experience and by experimenting. I believe with support from pple around us, we can do it, and derive joy from this 'not so easy' task of bringing our kids up.
Sneaky,
Staying at home can be quite boring leh. I am on leave since last Wed, kinda regretted taking leave so early. There's nothing much to do at home other than housework, TV, books and internet. But doing all these monotonous tasks everyday with no one around to talk to you, is indeed a torture. Rather stay in workplace, at least there's pple around u to tok to.
Fushiastar,
Maybe u bb is hinting you that she's coming out soon and sort of want u to be mentally prepared. Don't worry so much for now, let's wait for the Thursday appt and see what's ur gynae said.
I wonder when my daughter's coming out. Tomorrow I would have completed my 38 weeks alreadi...hopefully by next week she will be out!
Kris,
I read from a book that children usually will be jealous of their newborn bro or sis, for 'snatching' attention from their mummies and daddies. So what the parents should do is, buy a gift on behalf of the baby bro or sis, and give it to the older one, and tell the older one the gift is from the baby bro and sis...the older one will grow up to love the baby bro. Dunno if it's true but no harm trying.

Fiona: Ya, I've read/heard of such a practice too. We're gonna buy my #1 a huge Barney soft toy and tell her it's from her mei mei.
I was also told by my colleague that the first time my #1 sees me in the hospital I should NOT let her see me carrying #2 or bfing #2 at all, cos that will immediately set the stage for her that the newborn has taken mummy away!
kuririn
alamak, i forgot about CL err.... nevermind la. wait till she comes then see what sort of drawer she needs. probably just get her those plastic box with casters
we trying not to put too many things in the nursery lor.
I will be putting diapers and bathing stuff (shower gel) and wipes on a table in the nursery room. cos i duno how and where the CL wants to bath and dress the baby. If she wants to do it in the masterbedroom then will have to put the stuff in my bedroom instead. so let her come and see how.
kris
okie, thanks for the note.
sorry ah.... i find myself asking so stupid questions at times.
fushiastar
wah, u also quick in packing huh. good. remember u must rest alot too ok.. I havent put the bedsheets for the cot cos still early. have told hubby to do it one day before i discharge with baby
rolling cotton balls ah. so u bought those big big ones?? i tempted to buy. maybe later when BB grows bigger. now, i have about 6pkts of cotton balls. siao hor, cos i keep buying them when got sale. hahaha
your 4 tier drawer enough to put all stuff ah?? mine utilised like this
- nappies & liners
- baby clothings
- towels, bedsheets, hankies, bibs
- bottles, breastpump, breast pads, cotton liner for bed to prevent urine leak
- storage for extra stuff (wet wipes, cotton balls, feeding spoons and cutlery when he grows bigger)
but i think some items can be taken out once baby is born and CL is here. then can spare more space.
Adel
Thats good.
just change to other side to rest when u have pain on that particular side. thats what i did.
Last night was waking up every 2hrs to pee. alamak..... sotong liao.
u so cute....

DUn need to feel pai seh lah, I'm also starting to tell my hb a lot of 'bird talk' and asking him stupid questions. It's our hormones at work lah.

I stand at the basin to wash the clothings and stuff. Bought a big plastic basin which fits nicely at the kitchen washing basin
Can sit on those little stools lah but not good cos tummy will be squeeze if we bend down. so i usually stand while hand washing any clothings.
sneaky & kris

Adel: First time washing bb's new clothes can just throw all into the machine and run on gentle cycle. Cos there should be enuf to put into the machine right? But do remember to use only bb detergent.
SSL: driving is ok lah.. not v stressful one.
Drive at leisurely speed still can enjoy some peace and just listen to music leh.. Hee.. I guess I feel like this only after my #1 came into my life.
With her around there's not a moment of peace one.
Of cos, except when she sleeps lah.
