(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Hi dsiitan & Angeline,
The software comes together with the book. It is in Chinese. We bought it at Popular bookstore for about $30. There are in fact a few other books, but we thought this is the most comprehensive cos it comes with the software.
I heard YLZ also uses software to calculate?

Hi paranoidmummy,
I'm also exactly 1mth away from my EDD. But I dun feel any excitement yet. Am worried wherther I can cope with the baby or not, since I'm a 1st time mother.

Hospital Stay:
I've opted for 2-bedded in Mt E & am hopping I dun have a neighbour when I deliver...anyway, it's only for 2days stay so no pt spending $$ on hospital stay. I rather use the money to buy stuff for my baby.

Fruitee,
I bought my cord spirit at Guardian Pharmacy.
 


dsiitan,
ya ya.. hei mu er is good to get rid of 'stale' blood.. that's why most confinement food got this ingredient.. I only know abt it after I've studied some confinement recipes.. lily flowers also a common ingredient for confinement food cos ppl believe it helps to increase milk supply..
 
Joline
thank you present?? I guess this one up to individual bah.. keke.. hmm, but hor, dun think it's necessary la..

Have u mummies bought diapers liao??
 
dsiitan/joline,

I bought the herbs for shower liao. It's one big pack with 10 individual packets in it. Think the packaging is pink in color with green leaves pictures, something like that. I bought it from a medical hall and it cost 1 whole pack (10 pkts) @ $11. Remember you need to boil the herbs over the stove before using them to bath. If you find the herbal bathe water too little, you have to boil another pot and add into the first pot of herbal bathe water. My col told me not to add tap/cold water to the herbal bath water as it will cause wind later...
 
gebbera
oh..thks for the info leh..i tot just put the herbs into the tub then add water..hehee..so must boil the herbs and if too little water then boil water again and add into the herbs...ic..hehehe..thks ah...

fruitee
i intend to buy mamypoko NB..havent go buy yet...

ok...mummies...this morning kena woken up by ppl shouting GOAL..so many times for england team..now wanna go rest 1st..hehehe...will chat with all later hor..hehe...
 
wah! lucky my hubby not into soccer!!

Joline,
I can't even read some of the words in your menu :p and I don't eat kidneys, stomach etc.... looks like my menu is going to be boring.
 
Gebbera,
Me too also refer to momsinmind website for confinement recipe to add on to the confinement recipe book i bot from popular.. it's a good reference cos most of the ingredients can get from local market/ntuc easily and easy to cook.. I love the soup recipes cos can just dump all the ingredients inside the slow cooker and leave it to cook for a few hours..

Poppy,
which one you can't read?? I can translate for you..
 
Fruitee,

I also intend to buy Mamypoko but with size S (3kg-8kg). I hope my bb will weigh closed to 3kg when she's out. Not getting the NB size because i'm afraid baby will grow very fast and hence cant wear them liao then it'll be a waste. Btw, 1 NB pack consists of 64pcs which i think is alot loh. My col gave birth last dec and she being kiasu bought 5 packs of Mamypoko NB diapers. End up she cant finished using them because her bb weighs 3.2Kg at birth. Her baby grew very fast too, weighs 6kg in just 2 months time.

Hmm.. if i remember correctly someone in this thread or other thread ever mentioned that the cutting for Mamypoko diapers is lower compared to other brands. Prefer this as i felt it will not cause discomfort to bb since the low cutting will avoid touching/covering bb's umbilical cord.
 
Poppy,

You can boil 1 pot of water with the herbs in it first, thereafter let it cool off for awhile. When the 1st pot has slightly cooled down, you can start boiling another pot of water and mix into the first pot. By then, i supposed the water will not be that boiling hot liao.
 
Hi Mummies,
I 've been missing in action. Down with real bad flu.....anyway, i've some links you may be interested in, abt breastfeeding, confinement food, recipies etc.....

Oh yah, i know not many mummies are delivering in Mt E. For me i've just signed up for the 2 bedded in Mt E. Does anyone know whether they can do like free upgrade one???? My husband was saying, you think like hotel ??? I doubt can, but I thot i read some other hospitals can do that...

Joline,
I duno whether can add hot water from the heater or not leh. Maybe also can ba, as long as the water is not from tap or cold water.

Actually i wanted to try out their Papaya Soup recipe. But me lazy, didnt go marketing so havent try out yet. Remember to get raw papaya for a better results - supply of milk.
 
Geberra,
Me too wan to try out the papaya soup recipe before give birth.. My MIL coming next fri to keep me companied until hubby's back from Jap.. will pass this recipe for her to cook.. must let her know the goodness of this soup since it is going to be the antidote to boost up my milk supply for bb.. keke..
 
YB, u got a CL or yr Mother/M
IL helping out with u? DOnt be too stressed up..and get to enjoy the one mth of confinement. For me, i just tell myself that this one mth is for me to relax and recuperate..after that then i learn to cope with BB... i believe everyone can do it coz we are already mothers liao.. the mother instinct is in us already... If really dont know can ask ppl or post in the forums, i believe many willbe keen to help...

Anyone knows if we can drink the papaya soup now? Feel like trying leh..hehe..

Poppy, me the same as u.. dont eat offals and beef. so might be abit hard for me to cope too...

i've already gotten Nepia NB liao...
 
halo mummies
im back..
wah piang cannot sleep lah..wanna take nap also so cham...in the middle of the nite got ppl shouted GOAL...now at this hr..aircrafts rehearsing for NDP....pengz....

geberra
think mamypoko NB got special cutting...the cord portion...saw the pic from a magazine...so will not disturb the cord...
 
Hi Fruitee,
I have bought 1 pack of Nepia NB and 1 pack S, in case cannot wear NB, still have small size to wear.

Cannot use hot water from water heater? At first, I am thinking of putting the herbs in the bath tub, then run the hot water from the tap into the bathtub, mix the herbs and hot water, then I can relax inside for a while.
 
Hey me too.. got plane fly here and there.. but i dont care, i just shut my windows and on the air con. Raining and aircon.. so cooling... nice weather to sleep!

BTW, is it necessary to buy the cord sprit? i bought a cord binder too
 
dsiitan
wah lau..like that torturing ley...

Gebbera
Opps.. I bought one small pack of mamy poko & pampers premium.. hmm.. u think I should get small size for mamy poko in case??

Jasline/dsiitan
I heard mamy poko diapers very very good... the absorption too... compared to the others
 
paranoidmummy, but if cannot run the hot water from tap, then no use leh. If manually boil water to fill the bathtub, by the time finish filling up the bathtub, the hot water become cold water liow...
 
Halo all mummies,
I m new to this forum but have been reading the thread quite often. Would like to join in as I need some advices from all of u.

I m coming 37 weeks pregnant and due on 10 Jul. Is TMC better than Mt E? Cos I have a choice to decide as my gynae utilises these 2 hosp. Appreciate advice. Thanks.
 
paranoid
where u stay??? very nearby me ah?? if not how can hear the airplane...? they fly so low..wah piang like wanna hit my block leh..then the engine..super loud...lucky my blk never shake..hahaha..

fruitee
ya...i used mamypoko for my boy last time..not the NB..normal one lah..cos he big liao mah...i think better than pampers premium...PP will get soffy after 1-2 urines...but mamypoko..no loh...still in gd shape..haha...absorbent gd...somemore i love the cartoons...hahaha...think they are disney characters..so cute..so when my boy grew older..i oso use the mamypoko pants...me havent go and get the diapers...this sun...will go and get them..at CCK bah..cos hor...my place here dun hv one...so jialat
 
Fruitee, is it? Ok, I shall go and buy 1 pack of Mamy Poko to try. I intend to try Pampers Premium also, heard many good comments about Pampers Premium.
 
lollypop
welcome to this thread...all friendly and funny mummies...hahaha...

last pregnancy i was at Mt E cos gynae only delivered there...hmm...building older loh...ward wise..ok lah..services...so-so

this time i chose TMC..changed gynae..and most mummies from this thread mostly chose TMC...some said TMC service excellent..and foood wise..bagus leh..i dunno lah..but shld be gd loh...they oso upgraded their bldg..hmm...and they are praised the afterbirth service...hmm..very hard to decide lah..but u must see which area is more convenient for u loh...
 
noif
got letters liao or not?? so how many bedded did u book? 2 or 4???

jasline
which area u staying? if u staying near west..i heard from one mummy mentioned that papmpers premium for NB seliing cheap at Bangkit rd blk 260 ..hmm..$12.50..i think...not more than $13...
but mamypoko bigger pack for NB...as for the cord part design..if size S onwards dun think their design got that special for the cord leh...
 
Thanks dsiitan!

I have heard good comments abt TMC too. The nurse at my clinic also commented tat Mt E building is a bit old liao & quite dark there. Actually my gynae is at Paragon. But the distance from home to both places are the same. I guess I will choose TMC since many praised their good services.
 
Lollypop
Welcome!

dsiitan
wah.. thank u, at least have a piece of mind liao.. PP will just use finish then save the mamy poko after finish, will store up mamy poko liao... no need to try other brands already!
happy.gif


Jasline
my frd who just gave birth last week tld me one... mamy poko the BEST! keke.. think no doubt for it liao.. since dsiitan also say.

paranoidmummy
I also stay in SK ley!
 
Kin,
wat ur hubby said is quite true. Mt E 1 bedded is quite popular very rare u are getting free upgrade but dun worry 2 bedded is quite gd too.

Gebbera,
Dun really need to boil the water with the herb. U can just pour the boiling water and soak the herb in it.

It is true that u cannot add tap water cos tap water is not consider boil water and old pple believe there is still wind in it.

My suggestion is u cook a big pot of water 1 hr before u decided to bath. Let it cool down a while. Big pot of water need more time to cool down. Before u wanna bath, cook another big pot of water, soak the herb, add the half cool water. By then the water temp shld be just nice for bathing.

Joline,
My sister told me to try the papaya soup now. Getting our body ready to produce milk. I dun know how to cook, may need my mum to cook for me.
 
NOIF, Congrats. you booked how many bedded one, you deliver at which hospital huh?

paranoidmummy, SK is Sengkang? I stay in Sengkang, also hear a lot of those planes flying by and very loud engine.

dsiitan, I am staying in Sengkang. $12.50 is really cheap. I saw in Sengkang selling at least $15.90. Very ex leh. I shall make a trip there if I am not that tired this weekend.
 
NOIF
wah.. congrats, u booked yr ward liao.. Cham, now left with me only.. think I better buck up.. if not have to sleep at the pathway of the ward at TMC liao.. ahahah
 
Is it true that they will upgrade u from 4 bedded ward to 2 bedded ward at 4 bedded ward price at TMC? So good ah?

Wait dun have how? Can ask to change to 2 bedded ward?
 
Fruitee,

Lollypop

Fruitee,
Thanks I'll check with my gynae tomorrow.

Btw, we are not supposed to bathe at the hospital after the delivery right? Must wait until go home and bathe with those herb stuffs is it? Can wash hair or not? I am used to washing hair everyday. Like that very cham...
 
Hi kin,
I've also booked Mt E 2-bedded. I was told that it's very difficult to upgrade to 1-bedded cos it's limited. My nurse told me better to book 1-bedded then downgrade to 2-bedded, which is easier.

Hi Paranoidmummy,
I've got a CL to help me during confinement. But I'm not thinking just abt the confinement period but more about in the future wherther I can manage taking care of baby on my own.

Diapers:
I've got Drypers (S) size & Pampers (NB) size. My friend is getting Pampers from me in Bangkok cos it's much much cheaper there.
 
Jasline
maybe we can come out la kopi.. ahahah... we jio dsiitan also..

dsiitan
compass point always crowded one, also dun know why, nothing much to shop there also ley.. haha. There alot of preggies cos our gynae's clinic is there.. compasspoint packed, the clinic also packed.. buay tahan...

Hi YB,
