Kite: the cot can be converted to playpen, and can be used till 5 years old, as can then be converted to bed. I chose this cot cos it has 4 levels of adjustment, so when baby is less than 6 months, can place at highest level, so no need to strain the back when carrying baby in/out of the cot (those cots at mothercare are quite low, and can strain the back if not careful). Second or third level is when baby can sit up, so safer to place the mattress lower. Fourth level is a play pen.
Still, I might get my own playpen. My fren advised that baby should be left in playpen during the day, and cot at night, so baby can diff between day and night. One is for playing, one for sleeping.
Pinky: hee hee... today i work from home. going off for my detailed scan now.

=P""" I'm feeling my craving for jap food coming now... hehe...
k ong,
i usually take almonds, if not, biscuits/sometimes sinful snacks (eg potato/tapioca chips) for tea, hehehe... I also had craving for curry puff & samosa some time ago, and got my dad to go all the way to mustafa to get me some (cos i cudn't find yummy ones nearby) hehehe... Actually food wif curry potatoes in them (whether it's indian / japanese curry) really appetizing...

I really envy you ladies when u still have the craving for food. Eating to me is a ritual and don feel like eating much food nowadays. Just eat for the sake of eating.
CNY is around the corner and I am not done with my shopping yet. Tummy is growing fast and I am still feeling sore about the clothes I could wear everyday.
Felt my little one kicking me a few times especially during the night time. It's amazing how a little life could survive swimming within.
Well, my colleagues are commenting that I begin to walk in a different way now. Haha.. Guess it will be different when the waist line goes straight. Geez..
I have started on my second tube of Better Stretchmark Removal from Natural Source (Jan promotion at 2 for $70). Seems alright with no marks now. Anyone knows when the marks are suppose to form. I am kiasu and got my friend to get a bottle of Clarins oil for me too. Thinking of applying Clarins at night and NS in the day. Haha.. Again a reflection of vain pot..
BTW, Metro having a one day 20% promotion tomorrow. Anyone going? Saw the Sping website and the clothes look good. Should go down to take a look some day.
I am still thinking of whether sign up for any antenatal class or not? When should we start, duration and how much it costs?
Geez, there's so much to worry and find out on pregnancy. I really should learn to relax and enjoy.. especially when CNY is nearing.
Cheers to motherhood!

Hi All,
Today went for my detailed scanning. All loom good, but becos of my placenta blocking the view, they can only vaguely see her lips. Doc thinks it is a gal but not too clear to confirm. Doc ask me if I had feel movement of the baby. Acutally I not sure. How does it feel for those who have felt it? Does it feel painful sometimes like you having a tummy ache? Doc say within 2 weeks if I dun feel movement, I shd go back and see her.
I find this strange.

hello poohmum,
which week are you in rite now (if i may ask)? BB movement i felt is not pain, but like something "knocking" inside... sometimes it's milder - like "flutter-flutter" butterflies in the tummy... maybe u can try lying flat before you go to bed - can feel the movement better then

Hi Kite,
Me and hubby went to chinatown too, think on tuesday. A lot of pple!! We went there and managed to find one china guy who write chun lian and we get one pair of chun lian for the main door
Then i also bought some taiwan muah chee. Actually that time eat until sian already, but this time dunno why, the urge comes earlier. Maybe wanna buy something sweet for CNY heeee..
Hmm, we dun really like mei zhen xiang bak kwa and also lin zhi yuan queue too long liao, so every year we buy xiang wei brand. I dun like to eat bak kwa ever since young, but my hubby like. So he is the one who finish up all. My pregnant colleague told me that she has been getting nose bleed because she ate bak kwa haha.. she didn't know what cause her nose bleed at first, but after she ate some bak kwa yesterday, she started to nose bleed this morning again. So i guess we shouldn't take too much bak kwa too, else it is heaty and also contain certain herbs.
Hi Poohmum,
Yup, like what some ladies here say, it is like fluttering movements in the tummy. Very pleasant feeling, no pain at all
As time goes by, it is even more fun!
Hi Celeste Blur,
Talking about clothes.. the worst thing is, this year clothes seem to be so much more beautiful than previous year hahaha.. maybe i cannot wear that's why envious.
Ang pow.. waiting to recoup next year too.. heeee... i tell hubby next year we sure bring bb out to collect ang pows We go round Singapore heeeee... every year average we gotta set aside at least $400 for ang pows.

Just did my detailed scan yesterday. Baby's very active, but baby is large for gestational age, with his fetal biometry nearer to the 97th percentile. A bit worried cos doc said might be diff to deliver via natural birth. Also, need to screen for diabeties on my next visit. Now, must cut diet, but seems like diet plays a little role here.
Poohmum, maybe you can try lying flat on your bed, and pay attention to your stomach. you might need to concentrate hard in order to feel baby's movements.
Kite, i got my cot from bb kingdom at Kaki Bt.
Tomorrow will buy some new year goodies from Carefour, but too bad, not for me, must watch my diet, will be buying for in laws as gift.

Hi mummies,
i just came back from the Robinsons sales. Bought some bb stuffs and bras n panties.
Bought BB stuffs: Avent 3 x 260ml wide neck milk bottles that come w/ silicon teats (reduce colic) $16 after discount, Avent Milk Powder Dispenser, 2 Avent Silicon Pacificers (0-3m) and Avent Milk Bottle Brush.
Bought 2 no wired bras and 3 sorella lycra panties. All the above stuffs got 20% + 5% discount plus i got $80 robinsons vouchers. So only pay $10 extra
Was searching for TBS cocoa butter lotion for stretch mark n most outlets out of stock but managed to grab 1 tub, $18.90 after discount.
I know that steriliser does usually come w small bottles so i bought big bottles instead first.
Since i bought the Avent 3 big bottles (260ml), i was thinking of getting either Avent Steam Steriliser or Pigeon Rapid Steriliser. Heard Pigeon one can allow any brand milk bottles or even Avent wide neck bottles to fit into it cos it doesnt hv any slots /dividers, right? n Pigeon is cheaper than Avent? Might consider Pigeon...
Which breast pump is recommended? i thought of getting manual pump, issit better than the electric one? electric one sounds ex. Maybe i wil buy the Avent breast pump or any other recommendation? If i buy other brand pump, i hv to transfer from to Avent bottles as usually other brand pump bottle wont fit Avent rite? Dun intend buy now scare if no milk how?
Regarding the teats for Avent bottles. I m afraid what if my baby doesnt like the silicon avent teats, which other brands can fit into it? I see there is different range of teats like for 0mth, 1mth, 3mth n 6mth n etc. need to change so many times ah. hehe
Hi Amy,
so did u manage to get to know ur bb's gender during e detailed scan? cos gynac told me i wil know during my next mth detailed scan.

harlowz kite,
re stretchmark cream (u were asking abt which brand my gynae recommended me earlier): it's called 'percutalfa'. Hmmmm, tink maybe not a veri popular brand. But seems quite gd to use - not oily. It says on the tube cover - "helps prevent & reduce stretch-marks". Hopefully it's true for me ;p Gynae recommended after i showed her my rashes...

Re: Stretch Oil
Thot of sharing this wif u all: I am currently using this Earth Mama.Angel Baby Stretch Oil (Natural, Absorbable Oil for Expectant Bellies, Bottoms & Breasts). I personally find it not bad, not oily.
Wordings on the bottle:
The luscious blend of organic herbs & oils in Stretch Oil encourage your skin's innate elasticity & help prevent itching & stretch marks for growing bellies without leaving you feeling greasy. Twice daily, massage onto your growing belly & breasts. In the last few mths of your pregnancy, pour these yummy oils into a warm bath & massage them into your perineum to encourage stretching before childbirth-naturally.
The shop is called 'Mom Essentials'. They have a retail outlet at KK Hospital #01-22, & at Suntec City Mall #03-K03 (opposite Toys R Us).
Visit their website for more products.

i had done my final scan today.. yes, 100% cfm that it's a boy.. bb very active, but super cooperative, mgr to take many shots at all angles of the bb.. glad that bb passes the test with flying colours..
pinky, i asked dr khi abt the stretch mark cream.. she said the topicream is good enough for us.. so i think i will continue to use it.. but she commented that stretchmark actually depends on your genes.. if your mom has it, u tend to have it but the extent got to depend.. but anyway good to apply more..

Hi Kite,
So far i only bought 2 big and 2 small bottles from NUK. I bought the pigeon steriliser and i think it comes with free bottles too. I dun intend to buy anymore just in case bb dun wanna use them. When the time comes, then get my hubby to run out to get others
I heard and also read that pacifiers are no good for bb teeth development. My colleague used pacifiers when she was a bb and she needed braces. Her 2 nieces not using pacificers and teeth very nice but another niece who used pacificers have not so perfect teeth. Nevertheless, we bought one pair of avent pacifiers as my hubby liked the cartoon on them But dun think will use them
Hmm, i am wondering whether i should get a pump afterall. I will be breastfeeding my bb for 3 mths only. After i go back to work, i will stop. Within that 3 mths, i will mix the milk with formula milk as well. Perhaps rent from TMC then i no need to spend on pump liao.
So far i only bought 2 big and 2 small bottles from NUK. I bought the pigeon steriliser and i think it comes with free bottles too. I dun intend to buy anymore just in case bb dun wanna use them. When the time comes, then get my hubby to run out to get others
I heard and also read that pacifiers are no good for bb teeth development. My colleague used pacifiers when she was a bb and she needed braces. Her 2 nieces not using pacificers and teeth very nice but another niece who used pacificers have not so perfect teeth.

kk,
if you dun intend to breastfeed for long, then renting will be a good option loh....
I also intend to rent from TMC to try out first...if breastfeeding goes smoothly within the 1st mth, then only will I consider buying one since I intend to breastfeed longer, even after I go back to work

Mummies,
Re: Number of milk bottles needed
Really depends on whether u are into breast feeding. If u r, may need a number of bottles to store EBM. at least around 4 to rotate around. the rest can pack into milk bags. otherwise, your freezer will pack up very fast.
One bottle will be needed to feed baby everyday.
If baby on formulae. need 2 bottles. one for milk n one for water. not good to mix the 2. usually the big one for milk n a smaller one for water.
Re: breast pump
electric pumps from Medela n Ameda are good. but dun get the mini electric single from medela. its too weak n noisy. elecric pumps r better if u cannot afford to spend long hours pumping. need around half nhr for each breast. so if do manualy, need a total of 1 hour per session. around 3-4 sessions per day. your work may not allow to go away for so long. if use electric dual, time cut down to half hr only.
if get medela mini electric dual, will need electric connection. meaning if u pump in toilet cubicle (yes, i have to do that) or room with no electric outlet, then in trouble. they have a battery pack but its those unusual flat type, non re-chargable. medela PIS uses normal AA battery (total 8). i use re-chargable ones, need to re-charge them once a week.
Not too sure able ameda. its power is just good as Medela PIS, cheaper. but it comes in more parts. so need to take a while to dismantle to sterilise n put tog again. if any parts lost, die liao!!! I know Ameda pumps can be rented from those baby store, think its moms in mind.
Re: pacifiers
They r not as dangerous as mentioned. n bbs w/o them r no diff from those who r. my bb is not on pacifier but she ended addicted to my breast. need to suckle for comfort all the time. when i was home alone with her, i try to introdue the pacifier to her so i get away n do some work (she's around 2 months then) i realise she do not know how to use it n the pacifier keeps dropping out. at that point, how i wish she will take the pacifier. she oso needs me to fall asleep. took me til 1+yr b4 i can get her off my breast. now she needs her milk bottle to sleep.

Celeste, u getting infant car seat? We got ours from Robinsons. Cant rem the brand though. I suggest u get those that can be used for infants up to 2 plus. No point getting those seats purely for infants bec firstly, most infants dont like to sit in car seats and secondly, in no time, u will need to upgrade to a bigger car seat. The price i paid was ard $300 plus if i recall correctly. We got it only when my son was ard 3 mths and as expected, he screamed and cried when put into the seat.
