Hi Hong,
Thanks, I'll look for the Avent ISIS manual pump then.
No I dont work near Alexandra. Yes, you should try it. I never like avocado but the milkshake is simply so good, maybe its the texture. I intend to go there again this week as I'm popping buy Ikea to buy baby cupboard..Heee...

hi fruitee,
The easiest bathsoap to buy which is gd for bb's skin is Cetaphil. Can get from any pharmacy. I used J and J from the start my girl was born but only when she started developing tiny rashes that won't go away did I start looking for alternatives. My girl, now 3.5 yrs suffers fr sensitive skin and eczema and i only use organic, and soapless cleanser.So on the safe side you may want to use a soapless cleanser to start off with.It cost abt $14 plus now(was told they just raised the price by one dollar) you can also check out websites like www.littledreamers.com.sg and www.organic-wellness.com. they are all singapore-based mothers businesses. They all carry v good skin products. I discovered them when I was searching for alternatives for my girl.
PS : Little dreamers also carry products you can use for confinement like the powder for hair, and confinement wash too!!!! I used before and i find them ok.

Hi May
I also haven't got my breast pump yet. Thinking of getting Avent Isis IQ Uno....can use as manual and electric...hopefully it works well and I don't have to get another pump when I get back to work. I'm waiting for the Avent Open House this weekend to check out the prices. The Avent lady I called said the prices should be better than outside. Hope it's true.
YB,
You still watch ghost movies ar?? My hubby already make so much noise when I watch CSI. He say must watch happy movies

Baby Bath:
Jurong gal, I also read the thread on Sebamed and Lactacyd but quite pricey hor??
I bought the J&J Baby Softwash, dunno good or not. If baby's sensitive then I use lor! heehee.
Bowels:
Any MTBs has loose stools?? Most preggers constipate but I have loose stools...hmmm.... wonder if I'm normal. Earlier in the pregnancy I kept getting diarrhea, we realised I was lactose intolerant then have to stop milk. Now I don't take milk, no diarrhea but loose stools and higher frequency going to the loo.....sigh.

Sandy,
can u demand ur gynae to give u these information?
Poppy,
CSI also cannot watch?? Ur hubby so strict! hahaha..
I think Cetaphil is gd enough. My daughter will use that ocassionally if she had rashes etc but no fragant lor. We like her to have some sweet smell from the soap. ha...
I am quite lucky, dun have much constipation. U took alot of fruits?
Missk,
many believe that by drinking coconut the baby will born clean. Some believe it will fasten ur dilation. the latter belief is not true to me.

Sandy,
Mine is a lady gynae, quite gentle leh. If she needs to probe down south, she'll say "this is going to be a bit uncomfortable...."
Hong,
My fruits intake quite normal, not a lot, an apple a day type. Hubby suspect it's the veggies. I realise if I eat outside for all 3 meals, the stool will be slightly harder. Strange hor??

hi Sandy,
Mine is a lady gynae too. She's Dr Eunice Chua from TMC. She's gentle too. Like Poppy, she will inform me of the feeling if she's gonna do anything say like putting the gel on my tummy to do the ultrasound scan, she'll tell me "the gel is cold".... something like that.
Did my first PAP smear test at her clinic last year too and she assured me that it's not going to hurt. And it's true. =)

Hi Poppy,
Yeah, I still watch ghost movies...give me the kick...my baby also never protests mah...my hubby very open-minded. He's not particular about all these things. He even asked me if I wanna watch "Human Meatbuns"!!
I'm also doing cross-stitch, wall stencilling, wallpaper pasting now, although those pantang says cannot. However, I try not to do the cross-stitch on my bed.

Hi Fruitee,
I'll PM you if I'm getting it...looks like there are a couple of models of Avent.
Hi Poppy,
I have loose stools too. Wonder why cos I dun drink a lot of milk. However I notice I get stomach upset nowadays and I suspect it's those pre-cut fruits that u buy from fruits stalls. I read somewhere that we should avoid pre-cut fruits as they may have bacteria.
Hi MTBs,
Any of you bought maternity pads yet? I have not, as still can't make up my mind. I wonder if those brands like Whisper for heavy flow works?

May,
I think u get a pack maternity pad then some heavy flow pad to use at home. My sister passed me DR P maternity pad. I have some mothercare maternity pad left from my previous pregnancy.
I think Avent have one 1 manual pump. They have a new product which is electric.
Dun get pigeon or tollyjoy pump. They are not effective.
Sandy,
yes my tummy is very stretch after meals. Sleeping still ok. I find that i sleep better if i have a cup of milk. I like to sleep on my left but my boy like to do summersalt during bedtime Haizzz...

May,
Dont need to get too may maternity pad. Think hospital will provide maternity pad too.
If not wrong, the heavy flow is only the 1st week after delivered. Afterthat, can use normal pad liao!
Sandy,
Think u better invest the Avent manual pump. As long as u hardworkig to let baby latch on frequently sure will have milk one.

Hi Jurong Gal,
I thought some milk can also cause constipation? I didn't know milk can help move bowels.
Hi missk,
Some gynaes do talk very fast, I guess they dun want ppl to queue too long outside. But I will still ask as many questions as I want since we r paying for the service. Try to make a list of questions that u want to ask ur doc, so that u won't forget in ur hurry.
Hi May,
I've already bought 1 pk of maternity pads from Mothercare & 1 pk of Madm Pureen maternity pads from Kiddy Palace. Hopefully these will last me for the 1st few heavy days. Subsequently, I'll use normal heavy flow pads.
Hi Sandy,
My tummy will feel very tight after visiting the toilet instead. Mdm Wong says this is called sensitive uterus.
I also have difficulty sleeping & will toss & turn all night. My sides will also ache when I lay in that position for too long.

Hi Sandy,
I have difficulty in sleeping too. Just unable to find the correct position nowadays. In the past, I can just zz within 5 mins, now I keep tossing and turning for 2 hrs before I dozed off.
Yep, tummy is like tearing apart after each meal.
Ladies,

Looks like I'm not the only one with loose stools...phew! I thought I wasn't normal
YB,
Your family so open minded. Good for you! That time my hubby helped change the bulb in my MIL's house, my MIL ask me to hide in the other room. Cannot go and see.
I also have the same problem. Body starts to ache if I stay in one position for too long....I flip and turn a lot at night.
Jurong Gal,
I can't shop in Malaysia. My hubby don't like to go. Keep saying it's not safe. So have to buy my stuff here
May,
You should be careful of those pre-cut fruits.... in case there is contamination.
Maternity Pads:
I bought 1 pkt of Dr. P maternity pad(adhesive type)....Since the flow may be heavy first few days, I'll use the maternity pads then change to the normal night/heavy flow pads later.
Sandy,
The pack looks big only ... the pads are very thick, there are not many inside.

Jasline,
I only tired kotex and mothercare maternity pad. I switch to kotex heavy flow after that.
Mummies,
I get disposible panty for my confinement cos i dun want to take the trouble to wash it. Just a suggestion to all.
Btw, dun just get stuffs for ur baby. Must rbr to prepare for ur confinement. Item like
1) herbal for bathing
2) red dates and longan to make the red date drink
3) DOM (this one can buy later, cos may get it as gift)
4) Chix essense (this one can buy later, cos may get it as gift)
5) I got a tanyu pot so my mum can cook pig trotter for me during my confinement.
6) Milo drink
7) There is 1 herb which we can drink to expel the "wind" in our body. very gd.. but i cant rbr wat it call. U can ask the medical hall for help. Just add some to boil then drink it. It will not affect breastfeeding.
8) Front button sleepwear. I got a dress sleepwear to bring to hospital, cos pant too troublesome.

Hi Sandy,
The maternity pads may look like big pack but I think the ones in Kiddy palace sells in pack of 10. They are quite thick that's why it looks big.
Hi Jasline,
The ones that I bought is adhesive. I dunno how to use loop types. They do not have wings.
Weight Gain:
My weight gain has maintained at 10kg. I'm now 55kg in my 30wks.
Hi poppy,
Yeah, I toss & turn so much at night that I think I might have disturbed my hubby's sleep. Poor thing, no wonder he look so haggard already. Haa..haa...Somemore, it's so HOT at night. Even the a/c is not cooling enough.
Hi lala,
Wah!! 4kg is a VERY BIG baby!! IS the mummy or daddy very big-size? So ur friend can only go for c-section?
Disposable Panties,
I've also stocked up on 2 packs of disposable panties during the heavy flow week. Try to get cotton disposable as paper-types are quite uncomfy. I got mine from Metro. Think JL also has good cotton ones.
Front button PJ:
I'll wear a nursing dress instead, cos I feel all front button PJs very childish with all the cartoon patterns.
Hi Hong,
Wah, how u managed to only gained 4-5kg!!
Hi May,
You can get Kotex wing type at NTUC or Watson's. I think other major supermarket also carries.

Hi sleepy garfield,
Poor thing. R u underweight or normal to start with? Try to limit ur intake of carbos, it causes us to gain weight very fast.

YB, i was of normal weight before pregnancy. But i'm the type who breathe in fresh air also will put on weight.
Hi Hong,
Wow, you only put on so few kgs *envious*
Hi sleepy garfield,
I also have not been eating much but don't know why my weight somehow ballooned during my 6th to 7th month, Me trying to maintain now.
Hi YB,
My friend is actually rather small size, standing at 1.56-1.58m tall.
Btw, how do you maintain your weight?? I am now trying to maintain too. Think 11 kgs increase for my height of 1.67m should be sufficient, cannot imagine further weight increase.

Hi lala,
You are tall, think can still afford more weight gain. I'm only 1.57m & I've already gained 10kg!! I didn't really do much, mayb just cut down on carbos.
Hi Sleepy Garfield,
Although I've managed to maintain my weight, but I look really bloated. Especially on my face & arms. To make things worst, I'm born with broad shoulders. So I really look like a Rugby player now...sob..sob
Hey MTBs,
I've taken my Pregnancy Pixs already. Anyone interested can PM me, so that I can email the pixs to u.

I think becos i stop smoking, my appetite become better and was alrady putting on weight in my first trimester while others is like losing weight due to morning sickness.. and i dun really hav morning sickness lor.. so mummies out there not to worry lah.. i'm sure a fat mama compare to u all...
