Hi Jazzyjas,
You delivering at GLeneagles too? I went for the hospital tour and the person in charge says there will be classes available after you deliver. However, i don't think I'll go cos by then, I'll be too busy and also tired to go for it. So i'll suggest to go now if possible.
Hi sandyKerk,
You can get the Avent cream at Robinsons. I like it too. It smells good too.

Sandy,

Mt E have such courses, since Mt E, Glen and East Shore is under the parkway group i think they will offer the courses in all the 3 hospital.

Hi May,
wow, your baby is super big at 23 weeks !!! Anyway, good that your baby is absorbing the nurtients. Mine is only 600+g at the beginning of 24weeks.
My baby also didn't like to take 3D scan. She refused to look at the screen. With gynae's help, we only managed to captured her side view from nose up. She used her hand to block the rest of her face. Think must be shy

hi gals,
I am Matsu from another thread planning to purchase a baby cot i heard playpen is not good for baby's back. dont know how true though. I plan to get a bulk purchase from an agent.
They quoted mama love babycot $250 if more than three person buying . It is sold at baby's kingdom for $279. It comes with free mattress, bumper, bedding set.
They also quoted woodcraft denmark babycot of better wood quality
at $285 which is sold at kidsmall at $329 i think. comes with three different colours. Also come with mattress bumper and bedding set
Would anyone be keen to join me and my friend.

I just saw my gynae yesterday, wanted to take 3D picture for baby, but she was hiding behind her hands....so shy....doc says try next time.
Hong & Jazzy
My gynae said that it's not necessary to weigh baby everytime. She mentioned the size and water level is ok. Until now I still do not know how much my baby weigh.
Tracy
My gynae also mentioned not to anyhow take chinese herbs. Some of them are hormonal (like Dang Gui) and may affect our hormone levels. Better be safe.

Hi Sandy,
I'm using Mothercare Stretch Mark cream. Costs only $12. Very reasonable.

Hi Tracy,
I agree with Poppy. Dang Gui is very heaty. For me, as I have hyperthyroidism, I cannot take Dang Gui as it will affect my thyroid hormones..Better check with the doc before you take any chinese herbs.

Hmm..seems like I've gained the most weight. I will try to limit my food intake now. So scared of not being able to lose the extra weight after birth...sigh..

I went for the tour at GlenE. Some info to share:
1) ParentCraft & Breastfeeding Classes
The classes you are referring to are for patients on weekdays only, so if your bb decides to come out on weekends then you'll miss the classes. The GlenE lady said that the videos of these classes are available in every room so even if you miss, you can still catch it on TV. I prefer the real thing though
2) Length of Stay for GlenE package
- Normal delivery is 3days 2nights
- C-Sect delivery is 4days 3nights
Cut off time is 12 midnight, so if you check yourself in before midnight (say 9pm) then effectively you have used up 1 day.
3) Deposits
Have to pay the full package price as deposit 1 mth before EDD....can use credit card. Excess amount will be refunded after 2 weeks from your check out. If you have a Citibank credit card, can go for the discounted package.

Hi,
My gynae said the recommended weight gain is 11kg to 14kg. Does our weight grow more rapidly in 2nd or 3rd trimester? Seems that I gain more rapidly at 2nd trimester. Hopefully can slow down when I reach 3rd trimester.
Hi NOIF,
Care to show us your Pregnancy Studio shots? I'm also thinking of taking. Does your package include makeup & hairstyling?
Hi zita27,
I also have mild yellowish discharge on & off. Dunno if I should also go for a v swap test.

Hi Tracy,
Sorry it doesnt come in white colour. I also wanted to get a white one initially to match my pink bedding set but i saw one in mothercare one the paint will come off which is not very good for babies leh. So i intend to get the wooden craft denmark cot $285 if bulk purchase, lightest wood color close to beige colour.
Hi poppy, zita, and perhaps eeyore,
you might want to view the baby cot at OG @ people's park branch. Its call mama love
bulk purchase at $250 lor.
The other woodcraft denmark have to view at Cheong Choon store at blk 34 03-132 upp cross st
its a store just beside OG got to cross zebra crossing.They sell all sorts of babystuff, its just that the agent dont know how to email the pictures to me if not will be easier.
Is it possible for you to give me a reply soon as i will close this bulk purchase on 10 April cos i am afraid i might give birth earlier and i will need the cot. hee:> Thanks

Hi jazzyjas, Poppy & Zita27,
I only have slight yellowish discharge with no itch, pain or smell. So I guess I should be alright. Read from a book that it's normal to have some discharge during pregnancy, especially as pregnancy progress. The discharge will get thicker.

Hi nurbates,
I was craving for durians too.. finally went to buy at Geylang during the weekend. satisfy that craving.. hee.. hee..
YB,
I gained 8.5 kg so far at 25 weeks. My baby is now 920g, think it's more on the heavier side. When I weighed myself at 23 weeks, it was the same weight as at 20 weeks, I was worrying abt no weight gain. Then suddenly gain 3.5kg in two weeks!
I did a 3D scan too, but she's not cooperative, used hands to cover her face.. shy.. shy.. have to try again next time...

Hi MTBs, it has been a while since last posting. Had my last gynae check on Thurs --- bb's weighing in @ 673g at 24 weeks. Dr Chan was expecting a smaller bb (~500g) given my size and the average statistics. Maybe all the beef that I eat to boost iron helped to make bb bigger too! Will be making a training trip to Houston next week. A long way there (24 hrs with transit), just pray very hard that it's not too tough/tiring for bb & mummy. And I have made a decision to extend my maternity leave until end of the year, effectively giving me 5+ mths. Will most probably leave my son in infantcare but can't bear to put him there at only 3 mths old, so made this request. My management is supportive, so very grateful for that.
Kite, i asked Yvonne Chan whether the bb is too big, but she needs to see the trend. She didn't cap my weight gain (currently abt 5 kg) and says no real need to control. Btw, the Desitin cream u bought is with or without aloe vera? The one highly recommended is with aloe and Dr Chan's clinic is selling at $13+ (dunno whether it's 2 or 4 oz).
