Hi eeyore & may
My friend's name is Maryann. You can email her at [email protected]. She can either take lifestyle shots at your place/outdoors or studio shots at her home. Your hubby can also join in the shoot. You can also discuss with her your plans to take your baby's photos later too. Can ask for a better package
She'll give you the link to her portfolio. She does semi-nude for some MTBs also.
May, I saw the infra-red forehead scan cum ear thermometer at the Babycare Fair. Thot it was quite good. It was $70++ less than $80. Thinking of buying it, seen it in some shops too.
I'm getting the Ikea chest of drawers. I've seen Vhive, don't really like the designs leh...
Jazzy, I wake up like 3-4 times a night for no reasons. Just wake up and then have difficulty getting back to sleep.

Hi Hong, YB and Poppy,
Ok, i'll not be soo kan cheong and buy thermometer yet. but I'll check out the infra red one that Poppy mentioned.
Hi misaryeo,
I started going more regularly after my first trimester. I'll use the treadmill, stepper and cycling for a total of 45 minutes. Do it slowly. I don;t go for classes as they are too strenous for our bodies. ALways listen to your body - take a break when you are tired. I read that our bodies produce endorphins when we exercise and it's good for baby and make them happy. Wonder how true...

Hi Sandy,
My tummy also growing very fast. I just bought some maternity tops from Maternity House at Plaza Sing last wk. Not sure if the sale is still on. The tops cost $19.90 each with additional 20%-30% disc.
MothersRUs also have some pretty affordable bottoms. They are located at United Sq.
You may wish to check them out? Personally, I prefer to wear separates cos I'm short. Wearing dress will make me look dowdy. As though I'm wearing a tent.
How many weeks r u now? When will u be doing ur detailed scan?

eeyore,
Do u have the website? Do they state the price in their website? Free delivery?
I am interested in the white drawer. Others are too dark.
Btw, is Capella from Combi?
Actually $200 for a pram is quite a gd budget. I have friends who buy 3 pram or stroller before her daughter is 2YO. So i believe u may wanna to change in later stage.

Hi Hong,
so relieved to hear that. I was so worried, partly also I have not been able to eat well esp at night. Yep, I am under Dr Ang.
Are you able to see your baby 3D scan ?? My girl doesn't like to be scanned. Evertytime, we visit the gynae, she will somehow hide herself from the screen. Not able to capture her face.

Lala,
I see Dr Ang at TMC and the scan machine can only do 2D scan but i have request to go to his clinic 2 month laters to go for 3D scan. We wanna see baby face but that provide baby is willing to show us.
If u have not being eating well and baby still absorbing meaning is a gd sign. Ur placenta is very healthy. Just eat as much as u can, actually we are "Pu" placenta. Cos is the only channel the baby is getting all the goodies.
Most impt is dun let placenta mature before 40 weeks. I have frds who placenta mature too early and baby cannot grow any bigger.
eeyore,
u mean u got one set of drawer from them? Also in white? I prefer those drawer that is deep enough.
I think my sister has a Capelle pram. I find it ok, look comfortable.

Eat healthy. dun stuff too many junk food. Good input will produce input for ur baby.
Do u take Chix esse? Can take ocassionally.
eeyore,
Ur place is the Bali style of deco?
I think Capella is not bad but baby may feel warm after that. The one with alot of cushion and can do full recline?
I realised parents then to get big pram for the infant, as the kid grow bigger, adult tend to buy smaller pram/stroller.
Is like Kid grow bigger, stroller turn lighter and smaller. hahaha..
U might wanna consider carry ur child in sling or carrier in later stage.

Hi Mummies,
Long time no post in here due to busy schedules. I'm in trouble. My baby only weighs 398g at week 22, and my gynae warned me to eat more before baby gets smaller. He currently belongs to the small baby category. Can somebody help? What can I do to make baby bigger? I never had such problem with my first born.
Eeyore,
I share the same sentiment as you when I saw parents wrapping their baby up so tightly when it's blazing hot outside! Hmm... and I was frowned upon when they saw how little dressed is my son, but he's sweating! What they want me to do?
Hong,
Ha ha, like your saying on how infants sleep in big prams and how the prams get smaller as the kids grow up. It's very true lor.... and also saw so many parents selling off their quinny buzz.... I really love that.
Hmm.... send my regards to Dr Ang. He delivered me 20 over years ago for my mummy.... Eeeewww... he's the first man who molested me!!!

Hi MTBs,
Saw an Omron ear thermometer from Guardian Pharmacy & Mt E. Costs $61.50. Feel it's much cheaper than outside, so bought one.

eeyore,
i plan to buy a playpen...many of my friends who bought cots told me their babies seldom sleep in the cot. Playpen is lower in terms of price, so probably going for that.
Prams are really expensive!! especially those nicer ones like Quinny Buzz! Friends advise not to spend too much on it. Like what Hong mentioned, parents tend to change the prams as the baby grows. Still have not decided on what to buy. Anyone has suggestions on cost effective brands??
Anyone bought breast pumps yet? Which brand/model is better?

Angeline,
Really! Dr Ang delivered u? He looked so young leh.
U can try durian and see if the baby weight increase. U try to eat it once a week, providing ur sugar level in ur blood is not high.
poppy,
I saw the playpen is equally ex as babycot now. At least babycot can be quite compact when it was kept.
Pram - u wanna try Combi? There are some other brand range from $100 - $150. They are equally comfortable as Capelle or Combi.
Regarding the infant over covered - yah i agree. That is why i suggest parents to get more receiving blanket. Can use it to cover the child when u go shopping at malls.
If u sling the child, the sling is enough to keep the baby warm.

Jazzy,
The gynae will tell u. Not me lah. By the time the gynae informed u already too late. U cant do anything.
Preggie cannot anyhow take Ginseng. Just take the plain one or the one will "Du Chong Chao".
If possible, ask the gynae abt the baby weight. At least u know if the baby is taking well. U can even plot a graph. If the gynae said no need to know then insisted that u feel like having the data. I dun a reason why they cannot give us the information. Doesnt take them very long to find out the weight mah.

Is not a gd new if the gynae tell u placenta mature. Yah gynae can check the blood flow activite from the placenta and if ur baby is growing.
Tracy,
I read somewhere leh. I think not all ginseng but better to be safe. Pao Sheng safer.

Hi Jazzy,
When I was abt 36/37wks for my no.1 , the doc told me that my placenta has started to mature, ie. its function is coming to an end. I think there is nothing to worry. I was able to see 1 or 2 dark spots from the scan of the placenta(he showed me) and he mentioned that the placenta is aging. No reason to panick becoz it would mean the bb is getting ready to come out soon. If it matures earlier, the doc will inform you. No worries.
Cheers

Hi Hong,
I'm also at 23 weeks now (our EDD is the same remember?) and yesterday when I went for my check-up, my baby's weight is almost 800grams!!! Gynae never say if its too big or wat but hubby and i were alarmed cos just four weeks ago, she was only 300g.
I did a 3D scan also but baby not cooperative and she used her palm to cover her face. And eventually when we could see her face, she stick out her tongue and yawned a few times! Hahha

Hi there mommies
Not had the time to read or respond till now cos had been very sick
Just bought playpen, more rompers, sleepsuits, blankets. Most rompers are used items I bought thru the forum, well-maintained so pretty happy with the buy. As for the playpen, I sold my girl's cot and thought both younger and elder could share the same bed with me. Changed my mind after sleeping with my daughter last few months. Her kungfu moves are scary leh, worried she might land one leg on the baby so better buy playpen to stay safe!!!
With regards to nipple cream (as asked), I'm using Avent. One bottle can last quite long so think it's a good buy.
Has anyone bought breast pump yet? I used Avent manual pump the last time, cannot tahanlah, pump like crazieee soooo tiring dah....think wanna buy electric ones but don't know which brand is good and cheeeppp. Any recommendations?
I prefer those with dual suctions (to fit both breasts at a time), I normally had the other breast leaking whilst I pump one side.
