liewlian,
i like the shoes at hue. pre-preg i always shop there, love their heels and not so common also..
absolut,
thks for the info. so i dont hafta shop for nursing clothes. ok then can save money. where then can i get good quality and affordable nursing bras?
joyful,
underweight? cannot be ba.. i read a few books they all said @24 wks, the bb should be 650g... u rest assured ur bb is growing well
ladies,
i realise the price range for post natal massage is very wide. my SIL paid 1400 for 14 sessions (shes v slim so worth it la i guess). the usual indon plc where im getting my pre natal massages charges only 640 for 14 sessions for members. but shes v skillful and her massages are dam shiok!

Thanks.. I saw the artice, so I'm also worried, but my friend who stays there says it's safe to drive. We will only be driving for maybe 2 days, to Mornington & Yarra Valley (if I do go there), coz it's only abt 1 hr drive. The rest will take day tours. Mel city itself will take their tram?
Taka
What's at Williams Town? Nice scenary?
Jeslyn
So do we buy the nursing bras after we deliver?

Since u stayed there, can check if Mornington Penin worth going? Also, what abt Grampians? My hb's friend says that Grampians is very nice, but, I'm afraid it's too rough for me to go.. can just walk ard the Park or must climb, etc. I'll leave Yarra Valley as my last choice. The more I think, the more boring it seems.. Thanks!!

Yup... massage was effective. tummy was quite flat after the 5 sessions. Actually realised I was charged v reasonably. Only 270 for 7 sessions. Paid 200 for 5 coz didn't need extra 2 sessions. Maybe will go back to her if she hasn't increased her charges. Seems like all the rest charge a lot more.
Re cabbage, was told it may so didn't dare to try.

I like my nursing bras from momsinmind (28 each). A lot also swear by mothercare. U can try and see.

Krissie,
Williams town is an old town, like those Victorian style small town. Very relaxing. Grampians is very nice, but think it is a bit tough for you now, must climb a bit to see the nice scenery. Mornington Penin, i don't have much impression on that place, except to see the sea lions and they can be quite smelly. But of course if you got time and like those natural things, may be you will enjoy it, also have to go by ferry. Do bring some medication if you are prone to seasick.
Personally i like the Botanical Garden at the town center, it is very very big and there is one small pond in the center with ducks swimming in that and next to it is an open-air cafe. I used to go there, had a cup of tea and enjoyed the lazy afternoon. But again, that is subjected to if you like greeneries, tree and garden, otherwise will be too boring for you.

Thanks so much. Might go Williams Town in the same day as St. Kilda then. Can take tram to Williams Town, hor? I'm be taking the tram to St. Kilda. I'll skip Grampians then. Ok, I'll read up more abt Mornington Penin first. But, it seems quite nice from the website. Yup, will be asking my gynae for some medication to bring along during my next visit.Ha ha.. I dun mind drinking tea in the Botanical Gardens.. But, my hb will be bored.
Thanks again.

krissie,
enjoy your trip. do take care. drink lots of water and keep yourself warm. proper socks and shoes yeah. when you come back, can let us see the nice pics u took.
by the way, i saw your posting in the Jan thread. can you tell me more about the daniel and johnson cot? i am also looking for a cot and if its $200 based on group buy i would love to join in. haven't been to any shopping sales these 2 weeks. my feet quite swollen so its just work and back home. i think need to buy new pair of shoe already. at first thought can save. but the water in the feet just seems to stuck there.
taka,
are you still in KL? did any shopping? my ex office lady says shopping in KL very cheap.
absolut,
i want flat tummy too! you massage lady sounds reasonable. can i check with you if she has a shop i can go to? my mil don't allow people to come to our place to massage because they don't like the smell. so i am looking for a massage lady whom i can visit instead. also, need your advice. how long after giving birth then we go massage?
jeslynluvrenee,
i am quite confused. after we give birth, we will try to breastfeed. at tat time, is it no need to wear nursing bra and nursing tops? if so then when we do need it? also during confinement for 1 mth usually cannot go out so i am quite confused when to buy the nursing bra and tops?
joyful and straycats,
if you guys found any good lobang for cots, keep me updated. i didn't get a chance to go check out the one in CK tang which one of the nice mummies recommended the last time. $200 still within my budget. somebody posted sale of this called by Boori??? the lady wanted to sell at $700 cos she bought it at $1000. i didn't know it was so expensive so i didn't reply her. sigh. too bad i not rich. the baby cot is even more expensive than my current own queen size bed leh! both my hubby and me got shock.
joyful,
how? i keep thinking of baby scan leh. very anxious to know gender. very gan cheong.

absolut,
your massage lady charges almost half the price of the others leh! Seems like you're getting a v gd deal!
2005 (first_mum),
I oso think 650g is the avg at 24wks after checking around this forum & the fetal weight chart at babycenter.com, so I take my gynae's comments with a pinch of salt lor. Maybe she prefers bigger size babies...

Jan,
Try to keep your feet elevated when you lie on bed. Massage your leg and also try to exercise your toes and ankles (was taught at antenatal class to relieve stress).
How can you travel around when you are doing confinement? Massage is done on the 5th day to 1 week after birth, if C-section about 2 weeks later. Some massage oil are not smelly one mah, why they so rigid one? I will simply don't care if she likes it or not. Your ILs sounds like the one on channel 8.

Jan,
If you don't mind 2nd hand cots, you can take a look at Yahoo auctions - http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com
They're relatively cheaper than new ones. Just need to buy new mattress & bedding set.
Now you're very excited to know bb's gender right
it's a milestone in our pregnancy leh.
Don't forget to talk to bb to open the legs... Share with us when you're back after the scan, ok?

Jan,
Ya, still in KL, going back to S'pore tomorrow evening, can't wait! Miss my hubby and our baby haven't heard her father's voice for 6 days!
I came here on the last day of M'sia Mega sales, bought some household stuff like cute photo frame for our baby, musical box and others (typical ks mother). They were having 70% disc, so turned out to be much cheaper than S'pore. Bought some maternity cloths too, about the same price as S'pore but i like the design here. Didn't have time for baby stuff as i almost completed my shopping for baby stuff during taka baby fair.

I hope I will enjoy the trip, am so looking forward to it.
For the cot, we're not sure if they can sell us cheaper if we buy as a grp. But, Mashy (from Jan thread) said she called earlier and it was cheaper than the prices posted in the website, eg Daniel cot was $200. Daniel cot is not on the website. I saw it at Robinsons. But, the guy said that Daniel ($269) and Johnson ($369) cot are v similar except that Johnson cot has a thicker top rail at the end, plus come with the side and end rails for conversion to junior bed next time. Daniel cot can also convert but they dun have the additional end rails, so the front back end of the bed will be the higher cot railings, that's all. I have yet to call. Will update you after I call them.
I saw the $199 cot that Berlin mentioned at Tangs. It's not bad. The wood type, just that it's smaller in size as compared to the Daniel cot. We prefer the Daniel cot size, coz bb can sleep in it longer. But, if you're ok with the size, Tangs one is the cheapest I've seen so far. BTW, when you're comparing the cots, rem to see if they incl the mattress and bedding set.. these are also not cheap. Hope it helps.

sansforum,
baby kingdom i heard in kaki bukit industrial estate. we don't have a car, is it out of the way? can go by bus? cos if i go by cab it will be expensive and not worth it unless i buy alot of stuff from there. but the deal sounds good. hoping to see response from krissie. see if can group buy then save me a trip to kaki bukit. i just need to go centrepoint to see. upset that i can't do much because of swollen legs. very ugly cos like elephant and quite uncomfortable.
joyful,

from what i know there are 2 buses no going to kaki bukit. Bus 87 & 15. Oh no... did you gain a lot of weight? in yr next checkup, check with yr gynea anyway can help for yr swollen legs. btw, u can tell your hubby that bb can really hear him if he talks to the bb. for my case, my bb listens to her dad than me, so sad...
when night comes and she is still busying kicking away, I told her to sleep as it is night time, but she continues kicking. But when my hubby told her, she stopped.

Jan,
Must keep talking to bb, not only the night b4 scan. Bb's hearing will be developed in the 5th mth onwards. Talking to bb is gd as it's a way of bonding too. Also bb will be able to recognise you & your hubby's voice after birth.
Think bb has no sense of daytime or night time in the womb, so just sleep as & when he/she wants lor.
Sure, I will update your bb's gender once you know it

Ya, think my baby girl also listens to her father than me. Tried a few times already and it worked.
Jan,
I didn't go to Thyme maternity, most of my maternity came from Modern Mum, is a local brand, but the quality is good and price is reasonable.
Also bought the Palmer coco butter creame, having 20% (33.2*0.8= RM 26.56 which is equivalent to S$12)discount. Don't know if it is cheaper as compare to S'pore.

haha! u probably miss my earlier postings. in my first trimester, i already gained 10kg. now i only 4tms+ already near 15kg so yes, gained alot of weight. gynae say i have one of the worst case of water retention and bloating she ever saw. so i guess i just have to endure. sigh. she can't do much too. all water trapped inside leh.
joyful,
i haven't 5th mth yet so how? can hear? also i wonder leh. when r we suppose to do detailed scan cos when i go, i won't be 20 weeks yet. most likely only 18 or 19th weeks. too early? gynae just tell us to go leh. i also don't know if its too early.
taka,
good to hear you got a satisfying shopping trip. if only i can go leh. the other thread, got people talking abt city square. i alsowonder where that is. in fact, i haven't been to JB for 10 years.

Try putting a small stool in the office to elevate your legs when you're at your desk. I'm doing that now.. read that it helps water retention.. I find it more comfortable, though not sure abt effects. Oh.. another way is to lie down next to the wall & lift your legs to rest on the wall. Learnt that from yoga class. You try loh.. but be careful, huh. Do it slowly.

Hello, ladies!!!
How was lunch?
Went to the Isetan BB Fair, didn't buy much items, just bought a few pieces of bb rompers, 2 Elle dresses, 1 Life Baby T-shirt...
Just 1.5 hr of shopping already tired me out...
Sigh!!! Will rest well today so that I can do more shopping during the Taka fair tmr!!!
BTW, Natas starts tmr at Suntec Convention Centre so if you wanna get any good deals for some short trips, you may wanna drop by, but please be cautious of the huge KS crowd too!!!

Jan,
I think 19-22 wks can do detail scan.
Can start talking to bb since you're nearing 5th mth. Just develop the habit first & soon enough bb might respond to you/your hubby like what the other mummies described earlier.
Btw it's true for me that my girl reacts to my hubby's talking more than mine. Now.. that makes me a little jealous... kekeke

Btw it's true for me that my girl reacts to my hubby's talking more than mine. Now.. that makes me a little jealous... kekeke

Before you sleep, try to elevate and remove it when you about to sleep lor. I did that cos I also feel uncomfortable sleeping with my leg elevated. My knees will feel so tight and stiff if I sleep with it. Tummy so heavy liao, walking like penguin.
My mum bought this for me at Ebase warehouse sale. Guess what, it's only $3each.

Dun think my massage lady has a shop. All I know is she stays in Woodlands. maybe you can check with her if she's comfy for you to do it at her home if it's not too far. Her oil not smelly... more like medicated oil. Why not, ask her to do in your room then won't stink up whole house? Confinement leh... you sure your in laws allow you to go out everyday?
I had my massage on 4th day onwards. Think earlier better if gave birth naturally. If C-section then better wait for awhile.
Think may be necessary to wear nursing bra at home to support breastpad. But for 1st month maybe dun need nursing tops since you are supposed to be confined at home. can wear button front tops or lift up tee to feed. Will need nursing tops in second month if you go out. After a while, I couldn't be bother with nursing tops so just wore a bigger tee when out so easier to breastfeed and more cloth to cover body. Some pple also just buy a breastfeeding shrawl so they wear it over the top when they are breastfeeding outside.

For your packing list to the hopsital for delivery, do we need to pack diapers as well for our little ones? What about our breast pumps? Do we need to bring them along? Cos' I thot, if kena stuck with the pump can ask the lacation consultants to teach us how to use them properly. Any ideas?

I agree with Joyful, you must start talking to your BB now. Nowadays, when I stroke my tummy and talk to Megan she responds by moving, she can even recognises my hb's voice and touch. Its a very warm feeling when you can feel your BB respond to your voice and touch

straycats,
maybe you can check with Mt E or with mummies who have given birth there, as to whether they provide diapers?
As for me, after checking with mummies who delivered in RH, I know that I don't need to bring diapers nor pump, as it's provided by hospital. My manual breast pump is relatively easy to use.

my stomach is getting big v fast now, hope bb is growing well and not fat! tink the next checkup at 28 weeks, bb's supposed to weigh 1.1kg!
everytime my hubby places his hand on my tummy, bb will respond v fast, even if he just keeps quiet! its as if she knows that's daddy's hand and she's saying hi!
