Hi Milo,
Take care and have plentiful of rest ....
Hi ydnic,
From wat I heard from my friends, most of them use the manual pump...coz they say easier to control the pressure as compared to the electric wan which can be quite painful ...jus imagine if u dun have enough milk supply for the first few days n the thing keep pulling .... ouch ... they say sometimes will even have blood come out..... Arrrrgggghhh ...so scary ...
Hi matched gal,
My gyane actually asked if I have start packing my bags yet during my last visit n I gave her the blur blur look ...haha... tot only packed ard 36 wks ... but i think its good to pack early incase BB decided to pop earlier ...ekekek ... I think we also need to pack all the medical reports like blood test results when we check in the hospital ...its all with my gyane and she ask me to tell her once i have pack my bags n she will give me the whole set of reports to pack into my bag ..

fairysnowberry,
your group is so lucky! We went for the tour as well (7pm class) but only 1 mtb left and she is still waiting in the observation ward, so no babies to see!
yes, the video is quite scary! But my stupid hubby say, see..its so easy! So fast!
I knocked his head cos its fast due to the editing of the video! siao man...

Hi ydnic
I bot the Nuk bottles. Bot four 125ml and four 260ml bottles.
As for the steriliser, I bot the Philips 3-in-1 steaming centre which consists of a steriliser, a milk bottle heater and a steamer for baby food.
If you are planning to buy Avent bottles, you have to get the Avent steriliser as the wide-necked bottles will be able to fit properly into the steriliser.
Happy Shopping

hi milo,
sorry to hear about happened. do take care!
ydnic,
based on my 2 girlfriends' advice, i bought Pigeon bottles. If you buy Avent, other brand of teats cannot fit the bottles. but for Pigeon, the teat sizes are standard so can buy those non-branded ones to fit the bottles.
as for breast pump, i also heard manual one is better.

Hi Mummies
Threw up real bad for the last few days! Wonder if I am too stressed. Anyone feeling bad and throwing up like me?
Bottles
As my no 1 and 2 are still going to drink milk, I will only buy the teats for no 2. From what I experienced, think that the wide neck bottle, like Avent ones are good for those giving fm as its easier to scope milk in. However, my fussy no 1 only likes rubber teats from NUK in the early days. I think it was softer than silicon ones. So will do the same for no 2. As I intend to bf for sometime, I think wont invest too much on bottles yet.

Hi Ivy,
Huh yr hubby said labour so easy ah? My hubby said aiyo labour is such a scary process! His face was all squirmed up when he was watching the video. And he kept telling me not to see if im scared.
Hi Taurus,
Yeah we were v fortunate. We heard the BB's loud cries when we were in the labour room and Mrs Wong said wah a baby has just arrived into the world. When we stepped out, she asked the father of the bb if we can stand ard to see his bb being weighed and measured and he agreed. So we all stood ard, amazed at the sight of the newborn baby :=)
Hi Ino,
Okie whoever who is earlier will chop seats for the other this Sat. We shall sit where we used to ok? Against the mirror. Mrs Wong actually read out yr name before the class ended just to make sure u are not there and not that u forgot to sign the attendance.

Hi paradox,
Wow, so good deal for you ... almost half the usual price ...
Initially we are looking at the Maxi-cosy Quinny stroller but when we check out the prices ... we almost faint on the spot...hahah ... i think the total price is S$1034 after discount! Hubby quite tempted to buy but I find it abit waste of moni .... so keep discouraging him ... 8) ....
The salesgal showed us some maclaren stroller but i dun quite like the look ... so in the end go back empty handed ... 8( ... but i think we will be going back to buy the BB cot which can convert to toddler bed later on .... cannot remember which store got better deal ...

Hi Taurus
I was looking at the Quinny and Maclaren strollers too. But hubby din like 3-wheel strollers and Maclaren din have the safety bar in front.
I finally bot the Peg Perego Pilko P3 stroller after comparing their functions with a few other brands. Find it very stable and comfy. Baby hypermart gave us quite a good price for the latest 2006 model.
I'm also looking for a baby cot which can convert to a toddler bed. How much does the baby cot at baby hypermart cost?

According to the salesgal, they supplied to places like John little n mothercare etc but the only differnt is tt if we buy at hypermart ...the mattress that they give is dunnoe wat air cooling mattress which is suppose to be better ...

hei hei ino and fairysnowberry (and Taurus, and Ivy - hope u feeling better),
i was at a sun 1230 class cos hubby not ard on sat so asked if can go for just 1 session on sun so both can make it and they allowed. Were you there too, Taurus??? Well, missed saying hei to another mtb then..
Yes...I totally agree....the videos totally freaked me out...OUCHHHHHHHH!!!!! My goodness. Quite disgusting to see our v**** stretch to the impossible 10cm hor....yucky yucks...and why all the women practically naked one...i think Asian women more reserved...won't be like that in labour ward lah hor...
HOnestly, I very scared of the after-effects of epidural tho i really dunno my pain threshold...as well episiotomy...ouch....wat cut my perinuem....wah lau....
And I think damn embarrassing to shit while pushing....my goodness....ino, u are totally not alone...i am very very scared of labour...that's why i thot i may not have the guts to get pregnant...now...sigh...too late...haha...
Indeed, ino...i guess u might hv missed a bit if u like me gian the exercises...the revision was good...esp for hubby who wasn't there on 1st lesson. Yes...let's sit at the same places this week...i am on my own this sat...maybe will drag mum...maybe not...cos both days hubby also working so no choice...chop places for each other ok??? hee. *so fun to have kakis in same class*

Now, to give my 5 cents worth on the other matters discussed...
DISCHARGE
yes...i suppose it's normal...i can feel an increase in discharge too...stretchy...r we on right track??
STERILIZER
i got a hand-me-down from my sister which is the kind that you sterilise by putting in microwave....my sister - mother of two - says it's v convenient...so for mothers out there who haven't bought any...it's about $15 - 19 *saw the exact on sold at TMC pharmacy that sun*..it's a transparent cover with a coloured base...
Breast PUMP
yes...i think manual might be better tho i think i might give my sister's hand-me-down electric one a shot cos she said can be tiring having to press and press...but i also agree that the manual one might be kinder to us ftm....eee...got blood one meh...so scary sounding.
STROLLER, COTS etc.
As for stroller, we haven't bought any tho my silly hubby has his eyes fixed on APRICA...sigh...*pocket burn hole liao*...but I think McLaren wheels are quite sturdy except no bar in front for child to hold/security...otherwise, the quinny looks great but damn heavy...heard the peg pegro not bad....tell us more k?
cheers for now....mummies are indeed the noble ones.....

i dunno....avent has the problem of being exclusive...meaning...once u use their bottles or stuff...everything must be the same brand otherwise won't fit...also heard avent tend to be more expensive than the others...i am going with pigeon for my bottles ... but on manual breast pump...i really dun noe if medela is good brand...me lost too...
hi chris,
yeah! what fun! look forward to sat's class now. i heard so much about epitosomy that i'm realli very scared. As for the exercise, i dun realli do. Tried the kegel exercise tho but feel funny lei. I have the 3 books written by Mrs Wong. One of which shows all the exercise in pictures! so can used it as a guide , just in case i wanna exercise.
oh...the sh**ing portion. I tot it sounds disgusting ...hope it doesn't happen to us. ;-P. can't imagine giving birth to my gal in a pool of s*** eEeEeEe...
At first, i want to be "Hero" and opt out for epidural but my hubby persuaded me otherwise (coz he noes my pain threshold is veri veri low). Even my gynae knows my "kuan" and advised me to go for epi....hehehehe
As for breast pump, for series BF mums, i heard it's betta to get the dual types. Coz milk flows from the 2 breasts at the same time and it's less time-consuming if we do 2 at the same time (tho i think we will all look like a cow. ;O
I heard the brand, Ameda , is not too bad and there's a trial set for rental to try on. Medela is, of coz, the superior breastpump brand, just like Aprica for strollers. But it's really very expensive...so still thinking whether to invest or not.
Aprica is good and lightwt but it's really expensive. Think can go to this Aprisin website...they are the distributors for Aprica. If your frens/relatives happen to go to Japan, can ask them to help you buy. Apparantly it's cheaper there (but it still costs over $700)...urghhh.
Hi Taurus,
the nauseous feeling is coming back for me too. ;-( No appetite to eat dinner and i feel tired very easily. Plus i find my gums ultra sensitive and bleed easily when i brush...Wanted to go dentist but i tink i will start getting so breathless the moment i lie flat on the dentist chair. ;-(
Gals: have your appetite increased? mine has. I'm now eating like 4 meals a day. ;-(

ino and chris,
the parentcraft room at TMC do sell the medela brand, and i heard its at a discount price plus highly recommended. I think i might seriously consider that.
Chris,
i think loop sanitary pads is becos in case its too difficult to wear the panties.
For stroller,
My hubby wanted the quinny but i think it is really big and heavy. My boot will be ultimate full with a big stroller....so still considering...

Hi Chris,
Great to be able to see you again at this Sat's class :=)
Huh Ivy, what do you mean by difficult to wear panties? Can elaborate? Sorri maybe i sua ku but if difficult to wear panties, does it mean we are to go without panties for the entire 1-2 days after giving birth?!!??
Ino, I am one with super low pain threshold so i dont think i am brave enough to go without Epidural. Aiyoh i hate to think that besides the painful contractions and the epidural jab, we have to go through episiotomy as well! Mrs Wong said most Caucasians dont need episiotomy but Asians need cos our perinueum supposed to be thicker! Gosh!

fairysnowberry,
i am not too sure either. just that i saw some mothers wearing the green gown after birth when i was staying at TMC. Dunno if it is too painful or troublesome to be slipping in and out of panties and outerwear, so loop kind maybe easier.
That's my guess.
Maybe 2nd time mummies can share with us more?

Hi gals,
Re: sanitary pads
Hospital will provide us wth one package of loop sanitary pads. Reading from those early MTB thread, mummies tend to prefer the adhesive one. So, i think prob we can prepare the adhesive one since hospital is giving us the loop one.
Re: Water retention
My gynae advice me to drink more water to reduce the water retention. Try to advoid salty or sweet stuffs.
Re: sanitary pads
Hospital will provide us wth one package of loop sanitary pads. Reading from those early MTB thread, mummies tend to prefer the adhesive one. So, i think prob we can prepare the adhesive one since hospital is giving us the loop one.

chris,
Mrs wong say that she will bring her stocks during class, i think have a discount. I am not sure about the prices either but i have it with me at home cos i got it free when i signed up for the FBI card. Maybe you want to pop by my place to pick it up to read first? I finished reading liao.
Let's hope we still have the courage to go for the 2nd one and let it be a girl! haha....

Where can we find out more about the brand, Ameda? Do you know how much for sale and for rental? Ivy, how much is the Medela one?
Yeah...I agree that Aprica is good and lightwt and i think my crazy hubby going to buy for sure - and he's always looking out for it in Japan. Perhaps when he buys already, i can fill u girls in.
Gums bleeding v. normal....all pregnancy books say that....just be careful...i think no need esp see dentist but can consult gyne lor. I agree that appetite has improved - at least for me too....however my fren who's in mid 3rd tri has no appetite...so i guess it really differs from person to person again...
Ivy, take heart...I have also gained abt 9kg since...boo hoo hoo...and my stretch marks have appeared despite being v dilligent with stretch marks cream since beginning of preggie. sigh. warned my hubby already...not hopeful that i will resume much aft child-birth... sigh.

hi chris!
I dun noe...coz i got the bks free when i applied for the TMC card. I think Mrs Wong sells them but most prob, she will only bring it at the end of all her classes. The content is similar to what she teaches at the class.
yeah...i got my cousin to get some bb clothes from UK as well (e.g. Marks and Spencer, Mothercare)....exciting, right?
