do the shops carry maternity bottoms as well? i think i am more in need of bottoms. went to try a few over belly types and find them very uncomfortable and dun think can reuse them after delivery. guess i prefer under belly sort then.

missmoon
may i check on average how much do the bottoms at 9mois cost cos if around 70-100 then maybe i will check it out as well. i am not working so gotta budget a bit...sad.

i also been eating papaya. as long as eat in moderation should be alright like a piece a day. did ask my doc abt it and he said ok to continue eating tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, papaya(all my favourite). vit A in natural form i.e beta-carotene,found in fruits and vegetables,is easily broken down by your body.

poohy
wah.. your detailed scan so early? mine scheduled on 21/2 only at 20+weeks. my friend recently did hers but bb din cooperate so couldn't tell the sex. now she will have to wait till next appt at week 30 to find out!! will faint if i have to wait that long to know if having bb girl or boy.

 

[missmoon]

millie
i know their jeans cost $129 and i think black pants cost ard $79. their jeans very comfy cos underbelly type. have u checked out spring maternity? their jeans r cheaper and quite comfy too. if i'm not mistaken, got 3/4 length jeans for $60+ to $70.

 

[jenn77]

Jasline
for yr skin, u can try Water sleeping pack from Laneign.. it helps..

Gals..
Where's 9mois?? My pants all cannot wear liao.. feeling abit frustrated though..

 

[missmoon]

fruitee
9mois is at paragon, 5th level

 

[liverpool11]

Just curious, any of your tummy already showing. My wife tummy like can see very obvious now.

 

[jenn77]

liverpool

My tummy still cannot see ley... so disadvantage when I take train to work.. ekekkeke.. I can see myself la.. but not obvious

 

[gebbera]

liverpool,

my tummy is showing a little now.... but not that obvious enough....

fruitee,
i same as you... cant put on all my skirts and pants liao... have been wearing dresses for the past few weeks... have you bought your maternity clothings already?

btw, by when did you start "announcing" your pregnancy to your family and friends?

 

[jenn77]

Missmoon
Thanks.. will go check it out later this evening..

Gebbera
I havent buy any maternity clothings yet... tonite will go check some out loh.. need to get some flats too.. been wearing heels... ekkeke..jialat ley..
I have told my family & boss when I found that I'm pregnant.. Friends just a few close ones..

 

[gebbera]

Fruitee,

ohh.. i see. I havent announce to anyone yet except hubby and myself know about it.... scared bb pantang... had a bad experience before, that's why till now, i've been keeping quiet...

just did my OSCAR scan yesterday and today the nurse told me everything is normal and good. will be seeing my gynae tomorrow. maybe to discuss on the package. have you sign package with your gynae already?

 

[missmoon]

liverpool, can feel waist line expanding but the bulge isn't obvious.

gebbera, fruitee
same here. for past 2-3 wks, cannot fit into my skirts, jeans and pants liao and worse, i got no dresses so have to shop for bottoms in maternity shops.

 

[jenn77]

Gebbera

actually I quite skeptical abt announcing it cos heard my friends telling about scare bb pantang but they say it's ok to tell family members & boss..
I also just did my OSCAR scan & blood test last sat... hb called twice the clinic yesterday to double confirmed if everything is ok.. ahahhaha.. He damn kiasu.. I have signed package on my sec visit cos first visit costs me $100+ then sign package, unlimited vists mah plus vitamins.. so better to sign package more worth it loh..
I so small frame scare very hard to find maternity clothings... haiz..

[stressie]

Hi liverpool

My tummy popped out liao, quite obvious cos my colleagues can see my change n come ask me liao.

[liverpool11]

Jurong gal,

Wife actually put on a bit of weight before pregnancy. That's why I am asking if any of your tummy started popping up liao or not.

 

[jj04]

Millie,
They got bottom but not as nice as 9mois or Thyme. I didnt really look at the bottoms, not much i find. U can try looking ard and see.


Millie, missmon, Angeline,

OK i took the photo of the maternity tops i got from City plaza.

The Pink Top $26,free size

The details of the top

The brown Top $26, Free size

Details of the top

 

[afs]

hong
thanks for the pics. love the designs juz wondering if they are as small as they look, whether they can last till 3rd trimester? anyway will go take a look for myself lah.

 

[missmoon]

hong
thanks much! they look good, trendy also but wonder if free size will fit all. will go down take a look also.

 

[japepearl]

Hong - Lovely lovely tops! Thanks for sharing!

I am one of the shy-shy type...don't dare to wear sleeveless....

 

[angelneo]

Hong!!!

The designs are so nice.... I wanna go take a look also. Do they have dresses too? I like to be in dresses, cos it makes me look younger..... heh heh

Jadepearl,

Why shy? Most of the maternity wear are actually sleeveless leh.... try la... if really cannot pair it with cadigan?

Jurong Gal,

Same as you, my tummy not only popped out, in fact, I have a small rounded stomach now.... ppl just take a look at me and they will say, I'm pregnant. I'm gaining weight way too fast!

 

[afs]

Angeline
so lucky your tummy popped out already. mine still looks like pre-mentrual bloating. went to thyme to try on their jeans. xs too small, s too big. in the end salesgirl told me to come back in a few months then buy...so sad rite? can't wait for my tummy to grow big big.

 

[japepearl]

Angeline - Wish I am more daring. I always have flabby arms. Thank goodness I did managed to get some nice tops with sleeves. My tummy is popping out too. More and more people are noticing and giving me a "you are PG" smile.

Millie - I am sure in no time, your tummy will pop out coz lots of people tells me that the 2nd trimester is the time where the baby grows real fast.

 

[hong]

Hi girl,
Shld not be a problem to wear till full term.

There are more, i saw new design coming in.

Angeline,
Dress - there is one shop selling maternity dress and i find it pretty trendy and u can wear it after birth but it is not wide enough to last till full term. I may go back to get that dress. If i'm getting the dress will post and note down the shop name.

Jape,
be a beautiful preggie. during my 1st pregancy, i really dress like AH soh.. now i dig out all the clothes and i cant believe i wore all that last time.

This time i only keep the pants and some of the casual tops for home wear. I told hubby i am going to dress up myself this rd cos it may be my last rd.


I went to Moderm Maternity at Amara Hotel on sat. Waiting for hubby to finish his work.
I end up getting two skirts at discount from the shop, low waist. Quite nice and their top not bad too.

Of course the skirt at discount still cost $39.90 and the sale girls very patience and nice. Let me try a 3/4 under belly pant and i like it very much but decided to stop buying. All the clothes are in 20% discount. I also got a flat shoes at DMK.

So i think i have settle most of my CNY clothes.

My tummy? side way can see my tummy, front not very obvious.

 

[pebblestones76]

hi all

I am from the June' thread Now in my week 21.

Anyway, is there anyone who is interested to buy Neurogain PB Plus fish oil at staff discount, $26.50 for at least 5 bottles?

If seriously keen, let me know at June 2006 thread, soonest eh?

Cheers!

 

[angelneo]

Millie,

Heh heh heh, the reason why my tummy pop out so fast is because I never did slim down since my birth last March.... ** EMBARRASSED **..... My hubby was shaking his head away...... I was even more embarrased when I was still offered seats in MRT all the way till October when I was standing there reading Motherhood magazine. You know how bad it is???? I was so devastated....

Don't worry about your tummy, it'll be out when it's time.... maybe your little one shy?

Jadepearl,

So nice to receive those smiles right? They are so endearing to PG women..... Aunties love touching it.... then started sharing with you their long long history..... I love those moments..... we will be treated just like queens.....

Hong!

You wanna buy more? Wow.... Yeah, I noticed not many dresses will last till full term. Quite a waste actually but when we saw how sweet and trendy it looks, just couldn't resist the itch of buying it again. Haiz......

I agree with you. Wanna be a preggie woman, be a beautiful one too.... when I dress so trendily last time and went out with hubby, he proudly hangs on to me and will sometimes comment and ask me how come some women will wanna dress like that?? (that = ah soh)..... A beautiful mummy = happy mummy = happy baby = healthy baby..... this is a philosophy I came up by myself.... heh heh heh, an excuse to buy more clothes actually.

OBGYN: Dr. Adrian B Woodworth
HOSPITAL: Thomson Medical
GENDER: ?

Hong
Thanks for the top that you took.. Nice nice..

Will go check it out at city plaza!

I went 9mois last fri.. wow, their pants is nice nice.. bought a 3 quarter jeans &amp; a black pants.. good deal I guess cos after giving birth still can wear..

Thanks a million Jape!

 

[afs]

Angeline
they say 2nd tine mtb will show much earlier and can feel their bb move earlier too. this is my 1st so guess have to be more patient lah. juz that it would be a waste to spend on maternity clothes only to enjoy them for a few months.

Fruitee
i am with dr adrian as well. but still deciding between mtA and tmc. my edd 10/7.

how do the jeans at 9mois look like? how come can wear till after delivery? are they low cut with a strechy piece of cloth on top or does it come with a rubberised waistband?

 

[jenn77]

Millie

wow.. u with Dr Adrian too.. so you went to his SK clinic or CCK one?
It's comes with a adjustable rubberised waistband loh... The lady told me that I can wear until deliver loh.. but come to think of it, cos my tummy still dun show much, I tried still ok ley... was thinking after delivery still can wear.. ekkek.. doesn't know like maternity jeans also..

 

[hermione2326]

hong
the top looked very nice....
n value for money....
got beads usu cost $$...
so worth it...
me too wear very aunty to work one..
cos i used to oni want one mar...so bu she de invest....hee

 

[missmoon]

millie, fruitee
9mois jeans very comfy cos of the rubberised waistband and adjustable too. that's why can wear until delivery and post partum. fruitee, which design you bought? hehee, i got the one wif the crown on the back pocket one. sales lady told me will expand after few washes, so become more comfy.

 

[noif]

Hi!

Wanna buy denim jeans which can wear from now till full term. Any recommendation beside 9mois??

Dont want to buy too EXP one....

Last time i bought few maternity pants but dont really like cos feel like dropping when i wear it and i need to keep adjust it so ended up past to my mom.

 

[poohy_bear]

Hi Hong,

I got the same pc as yr posted 2nd pc and i got it for less than $20 at chinatown. Maybe for those mummies who are interested in these type of baju &amp; try chinatown as well.

 

[jenn77]

Missmoon

I also got the one with a crown at the back pocket.. One long &amp; one 3 quarter one cos I try quite comfy.. was tempted to get the demin skirt too..

 

[afs]

Fruitee
seeing him at sk clinic cos staying in punggol. very convenient n his package super reasonable. how abt u?

Fruitee,Missmoon
thanks for the info. actually want to go see spring maternity jeans but after hearing your recommendation so tempted to try 9mois one. i would also like to buy one that can be used after delivery.

 

[hong]

pooh,
really less than $20.. wah cheaper leh.. but i didnt see it at chinatown leh. What material is urs?

Which shop at chinatown? Those under the hawker center one?

 

[missmoon]

fruitee
har? got 3/4 and denim shirt ah...alamak...now i'm tempted. hehe.

 

[missmoon]

millie
actually spring maternity jeans also not bad lah, but 9mois got the special design at back pocket and since it was also comfy, couldn't resist it. maybe can invest in the 9mois one cos the rubberised waistband seems more lasting compared to the spring one, in my opinion.

 

[jenn77]

Millie
me too see Dr. Adrian @ SK clinic cos I staying at SK.. very convenient loh.. Agree with you abt his package.. resonable but the waiting time can be a killer huh.. who knows we might have seen each other before at the clinic.. ehhehe

 

[jenn77]

Missmoon

They have the 3/4 denin jeans apart from the long version one. I also saw the demin skirt loh.. have 2 designs.. one with lace one and the other normal demin skirt loh.. I find that the lace one is nice but I not that stylo ley.. dun think suitable to wear to work.. still thinking whether to get the normal looking demin skirt or not.. cos that day already spent quite a lot liao.. but on the other side of my brain, persuading myself to get it.. at least got 15% discount this time if I get the skirt loh..

Missmoon &amp; Millie
If you all buying from 9mois, I got discount!

 

[missmoon]

fruitee
dun think i can take the lacy one also. i will go look see. hehe, i also have the discount card but thanks much for the offer

maybe when start showing more obvious then go there and shop again.

 

[jenn77]

Missmoon

You know where I can get nice flats? That day hor saw a lady in 9mois wearing a white col ribbon flats very nice.. just dun know where some ppl can get nice shoes.. got any recommendations?

 

[dol]

Hong, can you still remember the shop name in City Plaza? Quite numbers of shops there... I was there last Friday but can't find... Partly also too tired and din have the mood to look around...

 

[missmoon]

fruitee
hehe, i haven't bought many since i started wearing birkies. i think studio tangs have quite nice shoes though, and that shoe shop (cannot remember the name liao) at takashimaya, if i'm not wrong, B1? where coffeebean level is?

 

[jenn77]

Missmoon
Thanks.. will go check it out.. Hb been grumbling that I'm still wearing heels.. so better quickly get some flats before he start everything all over again.. ekkeke..

 

[missmoon]

fruitee
actually i still wear heels whenever i go for external meetings. hehe, should buy flats and wear liao. the studio tangs place - i meant the one inside CK Tang. their shoe range really nice, very low heels and nice selection of flats. happy shopping

 

[anastasia_xin]
