sad.gif
Some ppl said that dried appricots works well too if one dislikes prunes...dunno true or not?!

Hong - Wah, now I understand why my mom and MIL are dead set against us having our little B in our bed. So, we have been hunting for some good bargains at IKEA. Found something which can convert to a single bed when our little B grows up till like age 5.

jadepearl :
tks for the info.. have u bought any packages from him? btw where about is his clinic? in TMC itself or does he have his own clinic?

jurong gal:
where is the aqua natal lessons at?
kkh or mt A?

any mummies out there can recommend good yoga classes to attend..
 
eeyore,

Do you feel significantly colder than b4 preg? Coz b4 preg, I tend to be afraid of coldness already and now I cannot even tolerate direct wind from fan. Like as if I have flu like that. I thought it's normal to feel colder during preg =p
 
HI Mel,

Let me go back and check, the receipts could either be at my place or my in-laws side. Will let u know soon.

Hi Japepearl,

I saw this Graco Playpen which I like very much. It has a table top for changing diapers and an electric mobile. It can be used till the baby is 2 years old. PLaypen material looks softer than a cot but i think cot can lasts longer.

Hi Tracy,

There is this relatively popular yoga class at Forum Galleria call Shambyala. They have pre-natal yoga classes. U can do a google to search fr the number.
 
Laura,

I'm using "Happy Event". A friend gave it to me as a present and her preggy friends swear by it as a good stretchmark cream. I guess should be available in pharmacies coz she bought from SGH pharmacy. I can't tell if it is good too, have olive oil and very moisturing =)
 
Hi ashleywcy,

Ha..haa..no problem..if ur hubby forget again, do remind him. Make it a ritual for him to apply the stretchmark cream for you every night before both of u go to bed.
 
jadepearl, like i say being 30 yr old mummy scared to feel being an old mummy...

ashleywcy, i feel colder after pregnant... and always having flu... now approaching 4th month still feel cold...
 
eeyore,
I was a weak child to start with, so I'm always afraid of the cold. My mom recommends cordyceps to improve general health (thus solving the coldness problem) but cordyceps very expensive leh. So my cheaper alternative is to bring sweater everywhere I go, eat oranges or drink orange juice to maintain daily intake of VitC to prevent falling sick. Dunno if feeling cold means anything during pregnancy... I'll ask my gynae this Fri when I see her =)
 
Tracy,
Dr Ang is gd and he care abt patient's pocket as well.. hahaha..

Nurse at TMC super man. They always make me feel i am so well taken care of.

But Dr ang super busy also..

Eeyore, i got mine from Yahoo aution. with delivery charge is abt $45. Soft jean, very comfy.

jape, Ikea baby cot not that gd. When u get stuff from ikea got to be careful. Check if the material is safe for the kids and u may have difficult getting bed sheet outside.
If u are serious and not wanting to spend too much. I suggest u try yahoo auction. Sometime u can get gd deal there. However, i do understand 1st time parents will want everything new for their 1st kid. I was like that last time.
But now, saving is impt to me.. hahaha..

Ashleywcy, why dun u try brand chix essense with cordyceps? It shld helps!
 
Tracy - Yup, bought a pkg from him! His clinic is in TMC itself.
happy.gif


May - Graco Playpen sounds awesome! Will check it out and see! Thanks!
happy.gif


eeyore - 30 ain't old leh! I have a cousin who gave birth to her #1 at 39 years old.
happy.gif


hong - Thanks for the tips! Will inform DH about it!
happy.gif
 
Jurong Gal,

Wow, you same age as me when I had my first baby.... accident.... ha ha.... I heard that the Aqua-natal lesson is very beneficial to STB mummies leh.... my friend attended it last time and her delivery was quite a breeze.

Eeyore,

You still feeling cold? Do take care ok?

Jadepearl,

The shirt that I'd set my eyes on is totally out of stock and there will not be anymore new stocks coming in. Which is very upsetting. It complements my other clothes so well and yet...... it's fated.... ha ha.

Hong....

I'm being naughty again. Joined a bulk purchase for Gap clothing for my boy... and some gals clothings.... my spending is really going to be sky high.
 
Hi Mel, Japepearl and Tracy,

Good morning ! The aqua natal lessons at KKH, 4 sessions of 45 mins each, gotta pay $111.30.
can call at 63941268 to enquire
happy.gif
 
Angeline,
U really can buy!
I got to stop buying cos i have alot of bill coming next month. Car insurance, child insurance etc etc.. going to be broke soon. haizz..
 
Hi MTBs,
looks like it's time for us to get prepared with BB stuff soon since we are in our 2nd trim.. heard from some mummies from other thread that beansprout pillow takes a lot of efforts and time to prepare but it is good as a protection to BB to prevent shock.. anyone getting this? How about other BB stuff?
 
Tracey,
My gynea, Dr Adrian Tan has his own clinic at TMC. He's a very nice, jovial and experienced gynea that decided to come out to do on his own since last year. He used to be from KKH, and his queue was always very long. You can ask him any questions that you have, and he will be delighted to answer them, and even draw charts,etc to let me understand better. I had seen him for my no.1 in KKH, and decided to follow him to TMC for my no.2.

Eeyore,
By right, pregnant mummies should feel warmer than normal pple, cos' we are having another human being inside us, I read it from somewhere. Perhaps you can ask your gynea why you are feeling so cold. Take care.

Thanks Mel and ashley for the stretch cream info. I must not procastinate and quickly get some cream to apply before the marks are too obvious.

BTW, I just started to wear my maternity clothes, and all my colleagues are giving me stares, and then congratulate me. They were surprised to know that I'm in my 3rd month already.

I'm still considering if I should do pre-natal class, although I should do it like a refreshment course, I think I had totally forgotten how to bath a new-born already ;P
 
Joline,
I think u can start doing some search on the kind of mik bottle u want for ur baby.
Breastpad can buy and keep if there is gd discount.
The rest can wait till end of ur 2nd trimester.
I believe there will be alot of sale coming along thru-out the yr.
Mothercare romper is very comfortable. U can consider.
 
joline, my mum had started preparing the beansprout pillow already... hahaha, but alot of work... clear the residues, sun bathe the sprouts, sew the pillow case (extras somemore), etc...

angeline & joline, I've heard that during 1st trimester, u have hormone changes u shld feel cold but I'm not sure when will this cold goes away...
 
HI Ladies,

Can anyone provide me more info of Triple tests? I have done blood test which test glucose level etc..and NT scan too.. Is it necessary for me to do triple test? Heard from one of my friend tt triple test is for down syndrome...
 
Joline,
I think such dried-beansprouts husks pillows can been bought readily from some shops like Kiddy Palace. If I come across it, I'll post it here. To make one your own, it requires lots of efforts. Firstly, you need to ask the market seller to sell/give you the beansprout husks, then you have to wash them, and sun-dry them until they are very dried and crispy then you can put them into the pillow holder.
 
Mel,
Triple tests incl the test of down syndrome,
neural tube defects and Other birth defects. Is a blood test to ensure whether there is any increase risk of the above.
 
Fruitee,
Any idea how long the sales will be held?

hong,
Are u referring to those disposable type? Any idea what's the usual price the breastpad selling at? Got how many pcs in one pkt and how heavy is the consumption har? When is the time that we will have colostrum leak and need to use the breastpad?
 
Jadepearl, Hong, Laura,
tks for the info.. me really appreciate it..really at lost right now cos my gynae will be leaving town soon.So suddenly have to go searching around for another gynae.. tks girls..

Juronggal,
do u noe if daddy get to join in the class?

Eeyore,
think u better chk with yr gynae y u are feeling so cold..cos pregnant mummies normally feel very warm starting from their second tri and it gets worse when our tummy starts to grow huge from the third tri.

Mel,
I paid $168.00 for the triple test
 
Joline,
I got 2 boxes used up within one month.
Sometime the breast will leak so need to wear it. May need to change often, depend on ur leakage.

The pigeon breastpad range between $10 - 9. If robinson has 20% discount + 5% on the RB card will be a great saving.
 
fruitee, so u cut ur hair? i din.. 2 tired after visiting gynae yest. Waited for ard 1hr+ 2 c him. Thot weekends then go.

missmoon & fruitee, we din manage 2 c the gender of the bb yest bt sd be a gal.
happy.gif
Goto wait for the next apptm which is 1mth's time.

japepearl, asked the gynae yest, said detailed scan wd be ard 5th mth so guess wd be on the next visit.

eeyore, heard from a frd, said tat when bb growing bigger, we r supposed 2 feel warm. As for flu, i have been getting sneezes, blocked nose, running nose etc.. tol my gynae yest, said cd be coz i were already allergic, now wif bb, it wd be x2. He gv v me medicine.

gals, for those of u who did the triple test, did ur gynae sugg it or coz u choose to do it?
 
jazzyjas, oh, you mean most likely it's a gal but need more confirmation? my detailed scan also scheduled for next visit which will be my 5th month.
 
Hi jazzygas and all,

I was told by my gynae its not complusory to do the triple test as i am below 30 years old and if down syndrome does not run in both family, it is quite safe...morever, he has done the NT scan for me (measuring thickness of neck) and its within the safe range..so its really up to me if i want to ensure ..but triple test is also not 100percent accurate...thats y up to date i have not taken the triple test.

But i have already spent $150 on the normal blood test, if i opt to take the triple test, it will cost me another $150.. all these are additional costs to the package...

By the time i add all the miscellanous extra charges, i think my package will come up to 2k.

And not sure how much we have to pay for detail scan..any idea??
 
kite, u probably already found out the gender of your bb by the time this msg is posted. Haven't done my detailed scan but guess it wld be her. I found out during my week 16 visit last Sat, BB was very cooperative and Yvonne Chan said it's very clearly a boy. She was recommended by a colleague (whose hubby's friends said a lot of doctors go to her). I find her quite funny too. And she gives me a feeling she really cares abt our unborn child --- in my first 1st trimester, i had repeated spotting problem and she was trying to convince me to cancel my business travel (almost like on the verge of crying). Then on another visit, even though she was feeling unwell and my bb was very uncooperative, she perservered. I was joking with her that shld ask my hubby to "scold" the bb and she said "don't scold the bb". So far, we are pleased with her service.

May, we have decided not to get the baby cot. My mum-in-law and sis-in-law strongly advise against it cos it's easy for bb to bruise or hurt themselves. We also figured that playpens are generally cheaper and can also be used for playing purposes. If bb doesn't like it, less wasteful.

For the rest of the stuff (like car seats and stroller), we are looking around but will try not to do impulsive buying. Probably wait till Great Singapore Sale and also some close friends/relatives will probably give it to us as gifts..

Japepearl, thanks! My hubby expecting a gal, so now indeed very happy. BB was imitating daddy's unique sleeping position. We couldn't stop smiling
 
Hi Hong,
Do you know of any baby stuff that is suitable to buy from Ikea? Heard that their baby bath tub is fine. How about their changing table, mat etc??
 


hong,
Thnx for the info on the breastpad. looks like we got to stock up the breastpad first cos somewhere in 2nd or 3rd trim will have colostrum leak liao right? like that must get more nursing bra so that easy to insert the pad hor.. other than that what are the items that we might need to use before give birth har? Other than Robinson sale I heard that Taka got MotherFair coming in March and another fair at Suntec.. anyone know the details? Our EDD in July, GSS normally starts around end of May.. really dunno when is the best time to shop for BB stuff, especially those big items like cot, carseat etc..
