god's child,
hee, that's how i got reminded. cos was typing and realised my back is aching!!

hi ladies
just an update. last week went for my appt. bb weight was 800+g at 27w+. and me so far gained 3 kgs. hehe..... bb's head still down.

that day went to antenatal class, saw the labour process and how epidural was inserted to our body... very scary....
 
Sleepingdeer,
Yeah she told me the same dates too... just wondering if we are supposed to get any confirmation from her again or just show up on that day... = ??

Cot mattress:
I like the Jersey material one from Mothercare selling about $39 for 2 fitted sheet. Think i will buy that. = ) Actually a friend told me white cot sheet is the best so that you can really see every single hair/bugs that is crawling on BB's bed.
 
sunny,

you mean so far since day 1, you only gain 3kg? or do u mean to say since your last visit you have gain 3kg? my baby is also on the small side. 27 wks and ard 800 gms.

all- lately i find that i have quite a lot of air. haha...anyone also having same prob. i just went to toilet and pee and so pai seh, it was just air and not fart. anyway just to share coz lately really have so much air...and boy when i fart, it stinks. haha...ok, just to lighten ur day.
 
SSF,
i got the same problem. gynae gave me antacids. in fact he gave me 2 kinds so if one doesn't work, i can take the other one after an hour. all the air makes me so uncomfortable and sometimes my boy will make it even worse by kicking hard at the same time!!

clare,
thanks. will check out the jersey one. doesn't sound too ex. is it standard size for cot sheets? i can't remember my mattress size.
 
confused...
oppss... are u having the pain at the same place I mentioned above?
heehee I confused with all the C name...:p

IKEA cot sheet
May I know is the cot sheet... fitted sheet? and what is the dimension? if anyone know..
 
SSF/SY

i also got alot wind lately... realised i have belching more nowadays... but i cant buro the air out leh... so my stomach veyr bloated and uncomfy...
 
hi sleeping deer,
i know first few years sells it. it even comes with a piece of material to put on the seat.
the material is like those sheepskin rug u buy from australia. looks very coshy and comfy.
 
sleeping deer

mums & babes sell a super comfy looking one. Abt $45++ i think. For cheaper ones, go kiddy palace/kidsmall. Abt $15++
 
ok thanks..so i am not alone. haha..ya tummy have been quite bloated lately. notice my tummy growing bigger and bigger. put on weight quite easily also these days.
 
tummy esp big at night cos all the air accumulate in the day already...

Hi mummies,

Hubby and i didn't apy much attention to the antenatal class. Watch the videos on pain relief etc but didn't catch what it says.

Eventually on the delivery day itself, when i asked for epidural and the anesthetics came and before injection, stated the risk etc but by then i couldn't care less and just sign. After that hubby was telling me he got a shocked when her herd all the risks etc but didn't dare to ask me not to sign and take epidural........ Ha Ha.
 
hi SSF
i compared the current weight and pre-preggie weight. 'cos i lost weight during 1st tri, that's y the weight gain is not much at the moment.

Hi Mashy_brainz,

The one I bought comes with a fitted sheet (130cmx70cm), a normal sheet (where you got to tuck and secure under the mattress) and a pillow case. The set costs only $9.95. Got it at Spotlight-Plaza Singapura.
The pillow case is for bigger pillows and not for the baby ones. Can kp till your aby is bigger to use when you change his/her pillows.

Hi Krissie,

I am still shortlisting the places and caterers. Will let u know when I have more concrete plans of the venues. I am having a headache too. Got about 150 guests so I need a big place to accomodate all of them.
 
yuki,
i can imagine at the actual delivery, we won't have the luxury to think too much!!!

sysa,
the cot sheet sounds like a good deal.
 
Hi SY,

Yep, It was a surprise to find such a buy. Made in Australia some more
happy.gif


Krissie,

Do u intend to book a place and then hire a caterer like me? I have sourced around for a few caterers but www.mumskitchen caught my eye so far . They have a Baby Full Month Celebrations Menu. It's $12+5%GST per pax. I am also looking at Safra Mt Faber to book a function room. So far, no luck in getting them on the line. May try to drop by and enquire more.
 
Clare,
Vasantha did mention that she will call us again to confirm, but no call yet loh... maybe if she don't call by this week, will give her a call...

Mashy/Celine,
thanks for the info, I will go have a look then. First Few years is at Paragon yah? Mum and Babes is at Plaza Singapura right?

I saw the one at Kiddy Palace, about $17, but they only have blue, and not sure whether it fits the car seat, so in the end didn't get it...

Celine,
wah, your bb car seat so luxurious, cannot let my bb see, she will get jealous
happy.gif


Sysa,
I just went to Spotlight the other day! But didn't see it... hmm, must go again...

Krissie,
yep, should be same cream...

Gals,
talking about pain, sometimes I get this uncomfortable feeling very near my vagina as well, not sure whether it is bb pressing with her toe or finger, or what... hopefully can ask my doc during my next my visit this saturday...
 
Zhimin,
I have replied ur PM. Pls check mail. Thanks!

God's child,
Dun worry as long as gynae say bb weight & growth ok. They say bb's weight will increase alot during the last 2 mths.

Cookie,
That's gd. Bayb supplies quite flexi sometimes. U may want to reserve the colour u want for the sling b4 heading down....just in case.
Remember to wash separately for the initial wash. Cos I got to rinse many times as the blue dye bleeds quite badly.
 
Clare and Sleepingdeer,

Looks like we will be in the same antennatal class at Mt A. Vashanta said that she will call us abt a week before the class starts. I actually called her last week to confirm, and yes its on Thur 10th Nov, then subsequently every sat. Initially she asked me to choose any weekday to go during the 1st lesson, I chose Thur as can only make it that day, so not sure if that's why all your first lesson also on Thur =P Looking forward to Nov!
 
Gals,
so angry with my hubby, need to vent my anger here!

This evening, he was fooling around with his camera phone, and took some video shots of me, and for the first time in 2 months, I saw how fat and dumpy I had become... became very moody about it, coz I was ever very fat before, and it took me lots and lots of hard work to finally slim down, and in 6 months, I am close to what I used to be in years!

My hubby got irritated with me and asked me what was the big deal about gaining weight, he doesn't uderstand how these things can upset us. Though I would never diet or skip meals for bb's sake, he thinks that it's no big deal, and that I shouldn't feel sad about it... why shouldn't I??? It's so demoralising to see yourself turn into a fat dumpling when in the past, I could wear nice clothing and feel confident of myself. Now, I feel like an Auntie, with pimples, double chin, and various aches and pains... arrrrgh! Then now after the arguement, he can calmly go to sleep and am now snoring away in bed when I am still so frustrated over it.... why can't the men ever get it???!!!

Arrrghh! Okie.... thanks gals, now need to cool down...... and try to get some sleep....
 
Poor me, cant sleep...
sad.gif


Sysa
Thanks.. I have ard that amt of guests too. So, we can compare notes..hee hee..I don't mind booking a place and ordering food or have it at a restaurant. But, wld prefer to keep it to $15/pax. Is that possible?
Are the cot sheets 100% cotton? Also, is it plain or printed? Thanks.

Sleepingdeer
Don't be so angry lah.. maybe your hb really finds us ridiculous to be upset over such stuff. I'll also get moody after seeing my fat self. My hb will cheer me up for a while then go off to do his stuff too..BTW, men can go sleep immediately after arguing.. it's normal.
 
Sleepingdeer,
We have the right to be fat now lah... Your HB probably feels that it is natural for you to gain weight. It's good that your HB is not complaining that you are fat instead! i think pregnancy weight gaining is slightly different from normal weight gaining? Should be able to lose quite a few kgs easily in a few months? Baby come out already 3 kg lighter. Plus a bit from the water bag. Probably the hardest to lose will the last 2 or 3 kg. Have to watch the intake of those oily confinement food. But I understand how your feel, cos last weekend I was looking through my wedding album and marveling at how slim I looked then. Used to have 24 inch waist. And then my mahjong friend commented that I seemed to have put on more flesh on my butt (already have fleshy butt to begin with), she says 'qian tu hou qiao'. Wah... not offended but a bit sad leh.
 
krissie,
I also had fitful sleep last night. Woke up from a nightmare, dreamt of some people with their bodies chopped off and ghostly stuff. Aiyo... after that cannot sleep liao.

When I sleep on my side (either left or right), sometimes can feel the BB kicking. When I trun and lie on my bed, Bb stop kicking. Does it means that I'm pressing on the BB? But we are supposed to sleep on our sides right?
 
Morning gals,
thanks for the reassurances, at least you all understand how I feel, not like my silly hubby...

Well, after that argument last night, I went to bed, and slept soundly, so this morning, am back to my usual cheerful self, though I still bo chiap my hubby a little
happy.gif


Poor Krissie and Queen,
sometimes, it's tough to sleep with the extra weight, I dun like sleeping on my sides, but now sleeping on my back is not comfortable either, always turning around like a pancake.

Krissie,
yep, it's disgusting that men can switch off and drop to sleep immediately. Sometimes, I get childish and kick my hb's butt while he is snoring away... he can still sleep on as if nothing happen...!

Queen,
I really hope I instantly lose some weight immediately after bb comes out... but bb cannot be 11kg loh... which is the weight I have gained so far..., so hope that during the confinement period can lose the rest.

Ariel,
we will be classmates then.
happy.gif
Yep, am going for 1st class on 10th Nov as well.
 
Ya, poor me..I look like panda now..
sad.gif
then got wedding dinner tonite. So, really will look like panda since I'm wearing a black dress + am so fat.. ha ha...

Queen
Most of the times, when i rest too much on my tummy, bb will kick in protest. Accrdg to the antenatal class, when we sleep on side, bb has more space, so will kick. She suggests sleeping on 1/4 position, i.e. a bit more on back, though still maintaining the side. Qt hard to explain.. u know what I mean?
 
sysa and krissie..you guys are really thinking ahead. hehee...baby's one mth party
happy.gif
how come no one is planning baby showers instead? hee..

sleepingdeer..tats nice of him to take pics of you. i think he meant well so next time can show baby how u like when you are having him/her. i am also planning to ask hubby to take a pic of me with belly baring. i think it be a good memory for keepsake. dun get mad with him...and i believe if you can slim down before,you will again after you have deliver. so be proud of your body and dun let it upset you ya. breastfeeding will help you lose weight tremendously, so aim for that!
happy.gif


queen, my baby is also kicking me when i lie sideways at times. but i guess its normal coz when i walk, he also kicks at times. i actually had a bolster to hug so that i will not press on him by pinning my body against the mattress but rather hug the bolster instead. are you using bolster? for me i only use it when i am pregnant. before that i wasn;t using it and will pin my body against the mattress. so bolster act as a barrier for me to do so.
 
Zhimin,
I replied back to ur yahoo email. Tks!
U convenient to meet in Hougang or sengkang? I shld be able to pass the pillow to u early this evening.
 
Hi Krissie,

Depends on the place that you intend to book, likely can keep it with $15 per pax. Most of the caterers are offering btwn $10-12 for their menu.
Yes, the cot sheets are 100% cotton. Did not see any printed ones. I bought white colour so that it can go with any of the bedding sets that I have bought in the event that the other sheets become dirty.

Hi sleepingdeer,

Do not fret so much. My face & tummy also look big & round in pics. Can't really tell in person but can tell in photos. The pics will serve as a momento of our pregnany after we give birth
happy.gif


Hi SSF,

Cannot think of baby showers because went ahead to buy all baby barang barang. Nothing left for other people to buy for showers. So can only place the 1-mth celebrations
happy.gif
 
wenyl
i can meet you at hougang today on my way back... you got the pillow with you? just to counter check the blue casing can be taken out to wash?
 
hihi confused,
wow ur gal really ang moh size leh. my boy must be typical asian size then. he's only 1076gm at 28wks. keke
 
morning mummies!

sleepingdeer,
dun be too mad!! must always remember to keep calm for bb's sake. my hubby also exactly like yours. sometimes we argue before sleeping and then he can go right to bed and fall asleep within minutes! very irritating right? then i can't sleep and will end up going to toilet, getting water to drink and all these while he can be fast asleep.

tell u something funny. got once i was so angry at him and then he was sleeping soundly away. then suddenly, he did this action of washing his face and i tot he woke up so i pretended to go to sleep. but then i realised he din move and he was just doing some silly thing in his sleep! i was quite stunned and woke him up and i told him he doing washing face action in his sleep. he kept laughing n laughing when i told him. after that no more angry already lor.

think hb can get really irritating at times.

confused,
your baby really ang moh size!!

sysa,
think i must really go spotlight and dig... it's the PS branch that you went right?

mummies,
i also realised my bb kicks more when i lie on my side. when i lie on left, he kicks left side, when i lie on right, he kicks right, does that mean everytime i turn, he gets disturbed and moved from side to side? i think it is quite funny...
 
cookie
ya, I've changed to the Sat class liao. Thanks much for the help.

Sysa
Thanks.. do they only have white in colour for the cot sheets? I'm thinking of getting yellow, so next bb also can use.

Confused
My bb was also ard that size..
 
Zhimin,
Yes the blue casing is removable & washable. Wat time can u reach Hougang today? I can meet u anytime between 6-7.30pm.
 
Morning everyone...

sleeping deer - MEN are insensitive creatures... basically they can juz ignore wat happened earlier and then head to bed or watever...wat to do, they are MEN... if they are sensitive like us women, also not too good rite, means they very 'emotional' = 'gu niang'???
biggrin.gif


SY

i think babies shifts according to our moves also.. cos water bag will all shoft to one side when we turn mah, so baby will also 'float' along in it to the corner and kick there lor...
kao_biggrin.gif
 
wenyl
i can reach about 7.05pm like that... you go there straight after work? i think i will not go out of control station.
 
i also got a complain abt my hubby. i find that men sometimes can be double standard as well. my cousin invited us for her bb's one month celebration and my hb say cannot go cos will 'chong xi'. but i thought abt it and felt that i din make sense cos we already attended 2 weddings so far and one of the weddings is his sister's wedding which wd even be worse right since it's direct family. so i told him that his logic doesn't make sense and he said that wedding is not baby related so never mind. on the other hand, when we were getting married and my fren gave birth, he say cannot visit my fren cos of the same reason. but that's not wedding related right? he say he scared that our frenship will be affected! arrgghh... so pissed with him. in the end, i gave up trying to reason with him and just told him that if anything happens to baby, he knows who i will blame since we attended 2 weddings already....
 
Confused,
Wow~ tatz large for 28wks. Are u & ur hubby big size? My boy weighs 1.14kg at 27+wks.

SY,
u really make me laugh....wash face...so funny. kekeke. My hubby sometimes will grind his teeth & wake me up from my sleep. I will give him a box on his chin cos I get irritated by his grinding sounds. Next am, he dunno I boxed him.
 
Hi Sleeping dear,

Don't be angry. Men can never unerstand our vainity. Pregnant also want compliments, want to look nice.

It's nice of your hubby to take pictures for you. For me, i did take a few pics during my last pregnancy. But i refuse to take photos during my confinement cos i felt i was so dirty and untidy (cannot bath, cannot wash hair etc...) Feel so ugly. But now kind of regret cos i realise i don't have much photos of me and my gal in her first month........ Hubyy has plenty of photos with my gal
sad.gif
.......... Not letting history repeat itself this time.

So enjoy your pregnancy. It our entitlement to out on weight.

Zhimin,
