(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB


Hi YB, Poppy & Zita27.
Ya, the dischrg wd get more as time goes by. Actually i always mention to gynae abt this dischrg when i went, bt he dun seem concerned leh. Thk next visit i chk wif him again, see if a v swab is needed.

So everybody planning to do the 3D scan? Is now an appt time to do? Wd like to see how my bb girl looks like.

Lately having difficulty sleeping properly at nite. Now bb seems to be more active when i lie down at nite. I cant seem to sleep on the left or right, coz she wd wriggle & kick. Any solutions?
 
Jazzy,
I'm going for MtA's parentcraft class.

Juronggal,
I heard preggers cannot attend funerals.

Lala,
Greenish discharge is not good. Should check with your doc on this.

Sandy,
Must pay for MtA's classes.... you pay when you are there for your first lesson.

Any mummies experience tightening of the abdomen?? I read that if it's at intervals it's Braxton Hicks. I felt that my tummy was so tight for like more than a hour without relaxing (not contraction kind). So is it also braxton hicks?? Anyone knows?
 
Hi Hong,
Yup. I was a low birth weight baby when I was born. I am part of a twin. When my twin sis went home, I was still in the incubator.

My baby may not be gaining weight, but I'm definitely piling on weight like there's no tomorrow...haa..haa...
 
Hi Mel,
I'm applying my Mothercare Stretchmark cream religiusly every day & I pray that I won't get stretchmarks.
So far, still okay.
 
Hi Poppy,
I felt cramps at my abdomen & at times sharp pain. Dunno if I'm experiencing Braxton Hicks or the uterus expanding...sometimes I also feel cramps at the cervix area.
 
Poppy,
i have the same experience as u.

Lala,
greenish discharge with smell is no gd. Better check with gynae.

MTBs,
I can see my tummy goes thump thump thump when my boy kicks and punches.
 
Hi Matsu,

Is mama love babycotthe one 1 saw in baby kingdom ($279/-) with free 4" mattress & bedding set, it comes in 3 colors - oak, natural & beige...

How abt woodcraft denmark babycot ($285/-), can it go cheaper, what colors does it comes with?

Hi NOIF, can I see ur pics too... where did u take it? how much does it cost?? my email <[email protected]>
 
Hi Nurbates, I'm also craving for durian... u can find lots in Geylang... very good... dun buy from supermarket... my mil buy from giant, not nice one...

btw, i weigh this morning, 24th week increase 7kg...
 
Jurong gal,
My mum advise me not to...

sandy, I'm attending this thursday Mt A class, we need to proceed to the cashier before the class...
 
HI MTBs,

Everyone is talking abt weight! I gained 5.5 at 24 weeks...but i suspect will gain lots more in the coming weeks cos my appetite is really good.
I read that at third trimester, our weight will not increase that much, maybe 1 kg per month.

I have cravings for ice cream and durian all the time!! But at my last gynae visit, there was slight sugar in my urine so I better watch what I eat. Until now..i have not had my ice cream yet...........(dreaming of Ben and Jerrys.

Anyone of you bought maternity pads yet? I have not decided whether to buy loop ones or stick on?
 
Hi MTBs,
Before I was pregnant, I loved durians but since pregnancy, I am scared of durians... how ironic. But I do love ice-cream
happy.gif


What is a v swab test?? test for vaginal infection ?? I am kinda worried after what you gals said. At times, I do have greenish discharge with smell.

I don't have tightening but do have sharp pains at times at lower abdominal. Feeling is like the uterus is expanding.
 
hi sandy, u can call vasantha @6347-6333/2 to check on class... if u r delivering in Mt A is $126/- but if u delivery elsewhere, ithink the price is $20 more...

MTBs, have u decide the type of room to stay???
 
eeyore,
Which hospital are u going?
TMC got 4 bedded but i heard my gynae will upgrade his patients to 2 bedded and we still paying 4 bedded pricing.

I being to MT A 4 bedded ward, is very big.
 
thanks eeyore.. i am delivering ar Mt A. The price for single bed and double is so different.... so i think i am choosing double bed since 4 beded and two bedded difference by 30 over dollar only.
 
hong, I'll be delivering in Mt A...

sandy, Mt A class actually starts this thursday and I'm not sure when does the next class starts... not sure if u can still book for this coming class...
 
YB &amp; Hong
I felt better knowing you gals have it too. I was so worried last night! Tummy was so tight I could hardly breathe.

NOIF,
can send me your pictures also? [email protected]. I'm tempted to take but I'm quite camera shy.

May &amp; Eeyore
I'm also into durians, but not in season now
sad.gif
Hubby bought some the other day but was disappointed with the taste...sigh...not up to standard! I keep asking for a durian party....hahaha

May
I bought a packet of DrP during the Babycare Fair. Stick-on type, I don't think I know how to use the loop ones.

Eeyore,
After going for the hospital tour, I'm going for the single bedder so hubby can stay with me. The 2 bedder seems so cramp.

Jazzy,
Forgot to tell you that hubbies can get a free 15 mins shoulder and head massage and mummies can get a 15 mins free reflexology complimentary from Rustic Nirvana during your stay in GlenE. They offer some discounted postnatal massage package for patients also.
 
hi eeyore,
hmm I asked the agent liao mama love only come with one colour, natural colour. But mama love got one minus point it doesnt come with teeth guard leh.
As for the woodcraft denmark one i feel its better come with three colour oak, natural and milk colour. natural is the nicest i think.
it comes with fourth different level. I will be buying this baby cot loh. The agent says this is the best price liao actual price is $329
its only bulk purchase thats why can offer $285.

Have you been to the shop already?
I told the agent lia i will end this bulk purchase on 10 April.
 
poppy,

u can try durian in geylang or emicakes in upper paya lebar... quite good... my mil bought from giant oso very disapppointing... did u go for the hospital tour in Mt A or other hospital, cos I'm delivering in Mt A... didn't know they do conduct hospital tour...

Matsu, the woodcraft denmark one seems like the one I saw in baby kingdom, comes in 3 colors, 4 levels and cost only $279... tat means ur supplier ex by $6/-
 
Hi Hong and Poppy,

Thanks for the info. I'll go and get them too.Is DrP also available at Mothercare?

Hi poppy,

I went to look at the rooms too and agree that two-bedder is quite cramped. I also like the idea of baby together in the same room for one-bedder ...Heee....

I agree that the quality of durians are bad. I ate one that day and it was horrible. If you want, you can check out Serangoon, near Kovan or those near Serangoon Gardens. They are supposed to be famous for their durians.
 
May,
Dr P and Mothercare is separate brand. I dun know where to get Dr P cos my sister pass down to me. Both brand is stick on pad.

May, Poppy,
Mt E and TMC two bedded is quite cramp but my hubby is not staying so ok. I think he will be busy preparing at home for the arriving of baby. No time to be with me all the time.

BTW, why the playpen so ex. I thot is range ard $100-200. Didnt realise it can cost as much as a baby cot.

Any MTBs, here bought sleeping bag for ur baby? There is one brand call gro-bag but i am looking for cheaper version.
 
Thanks for the durian tips moms!!!

I went to West Mall last nite to check some baby stuff's prices, it so happened that there was a Pasar Malam next to the bus int and one of the stalls was selling durians!!! Felt like just striked lottery..haaa..haaa... I bought three packets, one for MIL, one for mom and one for me so nobody can touch my packetlah...greedy!!!

I finished my packet last midnite, hubby don't like durian..happieee me!!!

I'm also addicted to ice-cream, mocha flavour. My in-laws bought four tubs of ice-cream last week. We finished two tubs liao...left two more very soon emptied out....

I'm eating sooooo much now..a little worried I gain more than previous pregnancy..tskkk...but nevermindlah satisfy craving more important right....heeeeee....heeeee.....
 
Hi may,
I really hope my weight gain will slow down cos I already put on 8kg so far...
Mothercare now having promotion on Maternity Pads. They're selling $3 for 12pcs per pack. I bought 1 pack already. It's the stick-on type.
 
Hi eeyore,
I'm still deciding on either 1-beded or 2-beded ward...Not really used to sharing toilet with other ppl though...but 1-bed in Mt E seems ex &amp; have to pay additional for my hubby to sleep over..
 
NOIF,
You look really good in those pictures!! and your tummy look so compact!

Eeyore, May &amp; Nurbates,
Just ate the durians from emicakes...yummy!

Eeyore,
I only went for the GlenE hospital tour.
 
Hi YB,

Don't worry too much about weight. I believe you are doing fine. I have a fren who gained 27 kg and she managed to lose every pounds of it! In general, i noticed that if you are petite before pregancy, it's easier to get back to shape. FOr me, I was already on the flabby side so I try to watch what I eat. I know of someone who was on the plump side and gained 13 kg and until now, she has problems shedding them off.

Hi poppy,

Your gynae is also Lisa Chin? Have you done your 3D/4D scan with her? Her charges for the 3D scan are rather ex but it was fun!
 
NOIF,

Can I take a look at your pix too? I feel tempted to take studio photos but hubby dun buy the idea.. hopefully I can convince him..
 
Hi mummies! Long time no post. busy. hehe wil update here soon again.

FYI!

Eeyore,YB, Poppy,

Heehee! Thanks for the compliments.

Still look slim??? Really?? Actually i put on lot of weights..

Talking about durians, last Friday i craving for Angie Choice durian roll. I bot 2 rolls and finished it myself.. OMG! Felt so sinful afterthat.

Anyway, Toa Payoh got a fruit stall near library selling durians now. The durians look soooo big...was wandering the durians from where? Think eat one must be very full liao!
 
btw the bag of love is applicable for 1st mums and for those never receive the bag during discharge, u can actually remind them n request for it

NOIF,

You remind me one of the host for channel 8 am programme "zao an nin hao", also 95.8 DJ, huang qin yun leh.. so pretty..
Thnks for sharing the mei mei pic..
 
Hi may,
Thx for ur advice. As I have high metabolism rate due to hyperthyroidism, I sometimes wonder if wat I'm eating actually goes to my baby.
 
May
Yah, I'm with Lisa Chin. I tried doing the 3D scan the last round, but baby shy leh. Hide so deep inside, not very good clarity, so try again next visit. How much are the charges for 3D and 4D??
 
hi eeyore,
I went to baby kingdom lia. Saw the baby cot but its different from woodcraft denmark. My husband say woodcraft's wood seem to be better and looks more sturdy so we decided to stick to it. :>
 
Hi ladies,
Do you all have frequent headaches?? Since my 4th month onwards, I keep having headaches, 7 days a week. Gynae said could be due to water retention in the brain &amp; eyes during pregnancy. Really irritating.
 
hi matsu, oh is it, mayb i should go down to the place u mnetion to see the woodcraft denmark...

where's the place &amp; brand again?
