(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

Hi MTBs,
Saw Metro selling Graco Citisport EDT stroller at $199. Is it a good deal? Is it cheaper than Baby hypermart/kingdom?

Also saw them selling this Nania Carseat from France. Have anyone heard of it? Can seat from 4mths to 4yrs. Selling at $119.
 


missmoon, i thk if gynae finds it normal, they wun comment. Like mine, altho i tol him abt my yellowish dischrg whenever i see him, he dun seem concerned. I requested for a v swab last week bt results dunno yet. Feeling in a suspense like tat. I thk if u r concerned abt ur weight, perhaps u sd bring this up to ur gynae.
Regd the GTT, thk i sd call up & ask b4 i go on the 27th week??

YB, I thk i am putting on 1kg every 2 weeks (from my last 2 visits). Guess now wd put on more coz we eat more & coz bb is growing.
happy.gif
As long as its average & within the normal range, i thk its ok.
Regd the cramp, sometimes when i sit or walk too long, it wd come. Or when overwork, stressed out. A signal to rest. If its bothering u, u sd check wif ur gynae.

Anyone going for TMC's parentcrafts class on 29/4 7pm class?
happy.gif
 
jazzyjas, i heard it's normal for gynae to ask for GTT before 28th week but also nothing to worry if they only request for it later. depends on gynae, i suppose. hey, no news is good news, cos most clinics will definitely call if results show positive, so dun worry
happy.gif
ya, i concerned abt my weight cos i dun wan to gain too much too fast (scared of having big bb) but that's just my vain side talking lah. gynae always look at my weight gain, so i'm sure he'll say something if anything is wrong. dun worry abt ur GTT, cos during ur routine check up, gynae test ur urine on a strip, right? the one where they test for protein and sugar levels

i haven't signed up for prenatal classes yet ley
 
Hi jazzyjas,
I going for TMC parentcraft class on 27/4, 7pm leh...TMC told us 29/4 no more vacency when we booked. Who's ur instructor?
 
YB,
i mean setting a routine when the bb is out not in tummy lah.

Yah, i need to eat else i cant sleep and i realise i started to balloon.

I will be going to Bali for a short trip this coming thursday. Give myself a short holiday before the bb is out.
 
gals
me putting on tons of weight suddenly too!!

jazzyjas,
1kg every 2 weeks is standard but now me putting on 1kg in less than a week on the average!!!
omi god.. i getting real worried cos i am always feeling hungry and crave for sweets
sad.gif
 
Morning mummies !

Hi Matsu,

i went to the bb shop u mentioned near people's park. I'm interested in the denmark cot. U managed to get min 5 orders alreadi ?
happy.gif
 
Morning All

YB
Wat kind of discs did you get.. mind to intro? I also wanna get some discs to listen.. My boy been kicking so hard every nite... simply too active liao.. must tone him down..
happy.gif
 
Hi Kin,
I see. In that case, the side effect is nothing when compared to the benefits of the medicine. You must really take care ... try not to worry about baby too much, okie. I know once being a parent, we tend to worry about our littles ones alot.

Hi Tracy & YB,
I also have craving for sweet stuff. I tend to eat alot during breakfast. Before lunch approaches, I would have taken like 5-6 pieces of bread already !!! If I don't eat, I will feel nausea and headache. How many kgs have you gals put on ??
 
missmoon, ya, i hope so.
happy.gif
Regd the GTT, wun be calling, wd go & see them next week first. Everytime visit, did test on the urine strip.
If gynae always looks at ur weight, sd be ok.
happy.gif
My collis have commented tat my tummy still look small. Bt my gynae din say anythg oso.
U have not decided which parentalcraft class to go? When u going for the maternity tour? Heard tat only Tues have Q & A.

YB, i no idea who the instructor leh.. hb called & booked the class only last Sat.

Tracy, did u mention abt this weight gain to ur gynae? Perhaps u wanna highlight to him. Mite be the sweets that's putting on ur weight??

Fruitee, my gal kicks, punches & wriggles when i lie on the bed at nite. Hee.. kinda amusing at times.
happy.gif
Cant sleep on 1 side immed as she wd wriggle abt. Btw, I feel sleeping on the left, my lower right abs feel uncomfy.
Regd the CDs, u may wanna try piano, violin pieces. Most r qte soothing & easy on the ear. Some CD shops have CDs for bbs oso.
 
jazzyjas, ya, so long as urine strip ok, then u're fine
happy.gif
ya lor, keep delaying on the prenatal classes...dunno which one to go for...also lazy lah. hehe but will definitely plan for the maternity tour at gleneagles. u went already?
 
Jazzy
my boy follows the daddy alot... When we on "Black Eye Pea", he was kicking me non stop... Yesterday my hb watching Jolin's concert, he also responsed when my hb tried telling him "Chio bu" right.. Gosh! Like father like son! When at night, if hb not beside me, he didnt wan to sleep at all until hb pacify him telling him it's late and time to sleep, then he stop! cannot imagine tonite when hb doing duty... chiam!!!!
Thanks for recommendation, I go check out CD stall!
 
Hi mummies,
for those who went for 3D scan-> how much do u pay for it? My gynea don't encourage me to go for 3D scanning unless my baby not ok... he say the radiation not good for baby.
 
Hi sandy,

For me, it will be settled by my com HR and they will just credit as normal pay via GIRO. mebe u can check with your com HR dept.
 
Jazzy,
Quite hard to describe the "discharge" after inserting the pill. It looks different from the regular discharge.

I put on 2kg during my last visit!! Gynae got a shock too! my usual was like less than 1kg. maybe that's why she asked me to go for the GTT.

I did the GTT first thing in the morning since we effectively already "fast" when we sleep, less torture.

Missmoon,
The orange drink is so sweet! makes me more thirsty after that
sad.gif


Lala,
I dunno whether there is a fix time for the glucose test. I think it depends on your gynae.

YB,
You went for the Metro fair already?? Any other goodies? I plan to go tonight.
I checked the Aprisin website, Graco Citisport EDT selling at the same price also.

MTBs,
Looks like all of us are eating more and putting on more weight!!
 
sandy,
My HR will deal that for me if i am planning to take 3 month ML.

Tracy,
u really put on fast!
 
missmoon, the strip ok then is fine? Tat's gd then. But y is there is nid for this GTT? Actually i dunno until i read abt this from the bbcenter.
Me oso lazy.. at 1st thot of not attending the classes, bt hb said we sd so registered first loh.
Not yet oso.
happy.gif
Planning to book during my next visit.

Fruitee, ur boy boy so cute.
happy.gif
We usually play the music when at home or b4 we sleep.

Sandy, i thk my HR dept wd take of this 3rd mth ML.

Poppy, have used the pill a few days. Some days dischrg still a bit yellowish. Bt now better.
Metro got fair? Over or coming?
 
jazzyjas
i think it's just a precautionary measure that during 3rd tri gynae ask for GTT cos scared of GD. but that's overseas...not sure abt local practice. in my case, i was asked to do cos urine test came back positive for sugar so gynae wanted to rule out GD.
 
Jazzy
I will try to play some music at night.. Hopefully no need hb to pacify him liao.. the music to do the trick.. heheh..
 
missmoon, wat is GD?

fruitee, i only play 30mins. At times, bb wd still be moving ard. Can sooth ourselves to sleep oso, sometimes i juz fall asleep on my back.

sandy, u mite wanna go to the manpower website to find out on this.
 
fruitee, i dunno oso. Sometimes like drink milo, i wd put lesser sugar than b4 preg. Not sweet bt no choice.

poppy, thanks! Btw, i have signed up for TMC's parentalcraft class.

MTBs, do u all have this problem of stomach unwell, like stomach flu, "stomach felt folded" if the food u took is not hot enuff?
Juz now had lunch, malay rice, then stomach uncomfy bt now better.
 
jazzyjas
actually my food intake still quite ok...except sometimes feel indigestion.

these days, i can feel aches in the ribs area
 
Hi Hong,
So envy!! Enjoy ur holiday.

I just came back from the doctor. Was having stomachache the whole night last night. Didn't have a good rest. Baby was kicking furiously too the whole night.

Doctor says it may be due to food posioning OR constipation. He inserted something for me to relieve my constipation. Now feeling better.
 
Hi Tracy,
Try not to eat too much carbos (rice, noodles) & sweet stuff even though we're very hungry. Carbos can make us gain weight faster.

Hi Fruitee,
My sis handed down some music CDs. They incl. Zoe Tay's Abbot music, Baby Bach, Baby Mozart etc. I like Zoe Tay's CD the most cos have baby's laugher & voices inside the CD.

I know Kiddy Palace sells wide range of music CDs.

Hi lala,
I'm still maintaing my 8kg weight gain. Am trying to control my diet nowadays...I will also feel giddy or nausea sometimes.
 
Hi Poppy,
No, I haven't went to Metro fair. I just saw their advertisement. Ya, Graco website selling the same price as Metro. And they also have some freebies?
 
Jazzy
Me too... now I drink kopi.. also minimise the sugar... haiz.. although taste awful but bo pian ley..

YB
Wah Zoe's Tay Cd.. ekek... have to cheong for CDs liao tonite...
 
missmoon, dunno leh.. bt sometimes the food juz dun go well, end up tummy uncomfy.
sad.gif

Juz now after dinner, felt tummy area so "tight", were pretty uncomfy for a while. Dunno coz i greedy, ate too much or its the contractions??
MTBs explained the other day abt this contractions, bt i am still qte blurrr.
Ribs area? U not sleeping properly at nite?

Fruitee, u may wanna add in milk to ur kopi? Coz tat's wat i did. U drinking everyday? I juz switched to no caffine kopi.
 
Hi Fruitee,
I'm not sure if u can buy the Zoe Tay CD or it's a gift when u buy Abbott FM. I got it from my sis's handdowns.

The full name is "Zoe's Favourite Playtime Music for Babies" by Similac Follow-On.

Mayb u can go abbott webiste to check?
 
YB,
Gosh.. u ok now?
Yah i like the Zoe tay music CD.
My daughter sings alot so sometime my boy get to hear his sister singing. I guess he will rbr his sister voice more than others. hahaha..

My boy also kicking alot these days. On sunday i realised he didnt kick much or i didnt realise if he kick. I get so worried, pat pat my tummy and asked him to give me some signal. He give me a kick as reply.

Jazzy,
My tummy also feel tight after meals.

aquarius_888,
thanks.

For those having baby boy. Do u have hard time looking for nice boy clothes? Nothing really catches my eyes. Hubby has being complaining that i have being very unfair. I can walk into a shop and still end up clothes for my daughter.
 
Jazzy
I drinking those 3 in 1 Kopi ley.. Haiz.. think I have to switch to decaffine ones liao.. me so unhealthy... keke

YB
Thanks for the info.. I think I will check the website for the CD.
happy.gif


Hong
I have the same thought as you.. it's so hard to get boy boy's clothings.. think the more attractive ones will be for gals...
sad.gif
 
Fruitee,
I agree. not easy to find nice clothes for boy.

YB,
Are u using Pigeon bottle? I intend to get the wide teat for my son.
 
poppy, am waiting for the expo one in end May. Din go to such a fair b4, hope wun be disappointing. Planning to get everythg at one go then.
happy.gif


hong, does ur tummy felt unable to relax? Coz i dunno isit coz the way i sit (on the sofa a bit slouched) oso making it more uncomfy. So this sd be bloating not contraction hor??

Actually qte true loh.. boys' clothing not as much variety as girls. Bt when both r bb, sd be ard the same mah.. juz buy in different colors?
happy.gif


Fruitee, i drink nescafe. Then can control the powder, sugar portion.
happy.gif
When juz expecting, i din drink for a while until 2nd tri.
 
Jazzy,
Sometime is pretty hard. I think taking deep slow breath will help to relax. U give it a try.

This hardening feeling is not really a contraction. Contraction is much more painful. This is quite painless, only discomfort.

I was looking more into going out clothes for my boy. Home clothes can just get white.
 
Hong
I got alot of jumpers for my boy... think that's the only thing I can get.. kekek...
happy.gif
Ralph Lauren also have very nice cloths for boys!

Jazzy
U drinking everyday? me only drink when I super sleepy!!
 
Fruitee,
I think i will reused my daughter romper on my boy. May be leave out the pink outfit.

Still thinking shld i get more rompers.
 
hong, i know wat u meant abt the "hard feeling". Coz last nite tat's wat i felt, simply cant relax.. i thk from yest lunch onwards tightening, then better. Bt after dinner, came back. Wd try deep slow breathing. Thanks for the advice.
happy.gif

Wat abt braxton hicks? Its painless.

Oic.. u can try Precious Thots. Tat time has forever frds series.. juz dun end up buying for ur girl girl again hor.. coz have precious moments' dresses, tees for gals. Its adorable!! Almost tempted to buy for my bb gal.
happy.gif


fruitee, ya, i am drinking daily.
 
Hi YB,
My friend gave me a copy of Zoe Tay's CD, have forgotten about it until you just mentioned. Will go listen tonight.

My weight increase has been slow until 5th month. Initially increased only 4 kgs, then suddenly shoot up to 7 kgs. Will also try to eat healthily to prevent unnecessary weight gain.
 
Hi Poppy,
U went to Metro sale? Wat do they have? Y u say it sucks?

Hi Fruitee,
I just saw that the Zoe Tay's CD is a complimentary gift, not for sale. Think calling Abbott would be a better idea.

Hi Hong,
Thx. Am feeling better now. Still pulging this morning though.
My hubby also prefer the Zoe Tay CD cos got baby's laughter with music. Sounds happier than just classical music.
Yes, I bought Pigeon bottles cos there r cheaper & universal too. I also bought Pigeon Steriliser.
 
YB,
Metro's baby dept is really small. There were only 3 strollers, Graco EDT @ $199...same price else where. The other 2 were like for older babies. There is a playpen that cost only $99. No discounts for Avent but free gifts with purchase. There were some clothes in those wagons but very thick not suitable for local climate.
Nothing much really.....wait for the motherhood fair in 31 May, there should be more stuff.
 

Hi,

I have an opened packet of Pet Pet diapers (Size S) for sale. The cutting is suitable for new born babies (below 5kg ) There are 44 pcs remaining so I would like to sell it at $6.50 (bought it from Jl at 8.90 for 46 pcs).

In addition, I have 2 pairs of Mothermates hydrogel discs for sale cos I bought two much. Willing to sell it at $17.50 each. More info can be found at http://www.momsinmind.com.sg/mothermates.html

They are really good for sore and cracked nipples.

Interested buyers please contact me at [email protected]
