peacy,
the ameda pump is double. i dun tik ameda comes wif single pump. u can choose 2 pump 1 breast (tandem nursing) while u nurse ur bb on the other breast. just need 2 do some adjustment on the pump and the effect is just as good.

peacy,
ya, the breastpump is portable. *i tik* all breastpumps are portable. the medela single deluxe pump i used briefly is also portable. i merely plugged in batteries and i can bring it out 2 use. i even brought it 2 my mum's plc 2 pump when my son was <2mths old.

Dear jasmine,
I'm not sure what's the triple test. I knew I did a blood test (took 3 tubes of blood) and an ultrasound scan to test for down syndrome and edward's syndrome.
I'm actually feeling better now compared to the earlier months. at least now I'm not so tired.
Do keep me updated. Hope ur bb behaves and u can see the gender tmr.

Hi erin00,
Welcome
. The 3 tubes of blood I believe is for the triplet test. It is also part of the test for down syndrome, HIV and Hep B etc....
Hi Peacy,
Can share the infor with me after you call the company? May be we can buy together see can get better discount or not
... By the way, when you plan to buy it? I think is better wait till nearer to our delivery date, at least getting longer warranty period.

Hi MTBs,
Have not come in for a few days so many postings! *pant* I think Kelly's idea of buying the pump in bulk is a good idea! We should also get it nearer our due date?
Last week was waiting for call from gynae on my blood test results... no call... hopefully that means no news is good news?
Anyone signed up for anenatal class liao? When would be a good time to do so?
Hi Ladies,
I have not forwarded the doc to you ladies yet... tonight when I reached home I will do that

rain,
me 18wks preggie too and i've put on 2.5kg. i'm overweight b4 preggie so cant afford much weight gain. i put on 13kg in my 1st pregnancy, felt so uncomfortable in tat size liao.
i went 2 c gynae 2day. he now said i'm confirmed 80% having a boy. bb measures 13.22cm now, weighs 213g.
chrys,
u shldnt b feeling such excruciating pain at tis stage. the pain usually comes in the last trimester. try using a pillow/cushion, putting ur feet up when u sit down or getting ur husband 2 apply medicated oil rub on ur back. mayb it'll help.
if the problem persists, seek medical help or see a chinese sinseh.

Hi chrys,

Hi Rain,

good morning ladies!
hope everyone is doing well. need some help - searching around for plain white long sleeved or 3/4 sleeve maternity shirts (has to be plain white, preferably in good quality cotton stretch). I've walked around to quite a few stores but still cannot find. wondering if any of you would have seen this sort of shirt for sale anywhere? thanks!!

Hi CT,
Having a confinement lady around might be good as they can guide you and you have someone to advise you when caring for baby and you won't feel so alone n helpless. I know they are expensive.. perhaps you can ask your mother to help if you don't want to hire a CL?
Gals,
I have to cut down on sugary stuff as I have high blood sugar from my blood test.. Baby now measures 7.61cm at week 14... can see spinal cord.. but i still dunno if it is a boy boy or gal gal..
Have to go for a blood glucose test on week 16 again.. as i still haven't decide to take triple test, the next visit, i can choose to take it.. I am fearful of false positive and more invasive tests.. Doctor say, we young, so risk is low..
How ah? take or not to take? the triple test cost 100 sgd.

hi mummies,
I posted this in another thread as the MTBs are talking buying BUMBO seat for their bbs.
"my advice abt BUMBO seat is best to get ur bb 2 try it 1st b4 u buy. when my son was 4mths old and his neck was strong 2 be upright, he tried it and his thighs got stuck in the seat (as in when i lifted him out of the seat, the seat comes along wif him). i had to pull the seat apart (the part where one thigh goes in) to let go of his thigh 2 take him out. he also sunk into the seat and was probably uncomfortable so he arched his body back trying 2 get out. tat was very scary for me & husband then cos if he was any stronger, we wont know wat damage he'll do to his neck & head then.
i've come across bbs who can sit in bumbo seat very well but these bbs dun have thunder thighs like my son. i've also come across some bbs who also cant sit in the bumbo seat like my son, due 2 their size. there's also a bb who can sit in bumbo but he dun like it.
so it's best 2 let ur bb try 1st b4 buying."

Hi zshih,
If I didn't remember wrongly, I did saw some white shirt at suntec spring but can't remember whether it is long sleeve or not. May be you can call them first to confirm before going down.
Hi Jasmine,
14 weeks is still too early to see the gender, even in my 16 weeks I still not too sure about the baby gender because the baby is not in good position to show us.
For the triple test it really depend on yr own decision, I have fren not taking this test as well because they said no matter what happen to the bb they will still want to keep it. Even u take the test it is only 60-70% sure that yr bb not getting DS. But for me I feel the test let me feel better and confident because if find out anything early we can try to help the baby as early as possible.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for infor
. May I know did u buy any stroller for yr bb, if yes what is the brand?
I also hope I'm having a boy boy but doctor said 80% is a gal. Anyway I will still happy with it because this is our first baby
.
Hello Peacy,
Yah, pls keep us updated
.
Hi CT,
Congrat u start gaining weight
! Actually it is not too early to give deposit, I heard people said those good CL you got to faster book them first. Me same as you feel employing a CL is too expensive but lucky my mother in law willing help me during confinement. I still think first time mummy must get someone to help loh if not don't think i can handle it.
Hi Rain,
I always believe if we only take in health food and those food only good for baby, I really think we can make it
. I never let myself feel hungry, but everytime I just eat small portion of it.

Butter8,
I know the feeling.. My boss juz ask me this morning if I can make a short trip up to KL but.. after he see me feeling a bit faint.. he changed his mind.. I think he scared he kanna the blame if anything happen to me.
For constipation, it is a really irritating problem. I suggest, wake up and drink a HUGE glass of water before eating anything else.. it will help your systems to move. change your bread to wholemeal bread.. Vegetables should be eaten every meal time. and take fruits also, like bananas (the small ones, not Del Monte). In the office, keep prune juice handy and take a glass min. every day.. Try to go toilet same time every morning.. it will help to automate the system..
Hope it helps and good luck!

I suggest, wake up and drink a HUGE glass of water before eating anything else.. it will help your systems to move. change your bread to wholemeal bread.. Vegetables should be eaten every meal time. and take fruits also, like bananas (the small ones, not Del Monte). In the office, keep prune juice handy and take a glass min. every day.. Try to go toilet same time every morning.. it will help to automate the system..
Hope it helps and good luck!
Hi Butter8 and Jasmine,
I think short trip by plane is not a problem. I did take plane when i'm in my 13 weeks. Doctor advice if the travel time is too long should stand up and walk every half an hr. We are in our second trim, so everything should be quite safe and stable now, in fact alot of my fren planning a short trip when they are in 2nd trim

jasmine,
i didnt do the triple test for my 1st bb and i also didnt do for this 2nd bb. i didnt wanna spend the extra $$ when i know i'll be going for a detailed scan (95% accuracy) at 20wks. 2 me, this scan is good enuff 2 tell me if my bb has defects.
wanli,
i didnt buy a stroller. it was given by my relative. i dun remember the brand and it is also very worn out so need 2 buy a stroller for #2. husband n i cant never come 2 a compromise on strollers. we are looking at Maclaren or Lucky Baby. there are other good brands in the mkt but it depends on ur preferences, budget and ease of use.

Thanks for ur suggestions.
I feel better today after take a day rest at home. i also think i dun tend to get backache at this stage, so i think maybe i injured myself not knowingly. Anywy, i tried to cure myself yesterday by calling Dr Wong clinic. Hazel told me to buy Salonpas/ Fastum gel to apply and a belt to support my back. But the pharmacist at Guardian refused to sell it to my hubby after checking thru the directories and his head office, and wanted clearance from gynae. Even after i got it, he stil told my hubby not to let me use it unless very needed.. hmm.. wat a caring pharmacist. Anyway, i also very kia si, i checked the active ingredients thru net, and both are not recommended during pregnancy. So end up i didn't use, endure and tried to sleep as much as i could. Surprisingly this morning woke up feeling much better.
I was away from Singapore for 8 days, when i came back i can't cope with the thread already! I need sometime to read through ur post knowing wat's happening here recently.. hehe..

HI EVERYONE!
<font color="0000ff">confinement lady</font>
I think it's not too early at our stage now to confirm one as most of us are into our 2nd trimester and they say that good confinement ladies gets snatched up very fast! I confirmed with my confinement lady around the 13th week and gave her a deposit of $200 too. To me, I will have to pay her now or 9 months down the road and if it;s some consideration for confirmation, I don't mind paying her 1st
But I agree confinement ladies are rather ex, not to mention the marketing of food part.. so if you have someone elderly who can help you and guide you on how to handle baby (esp 1st timers like some of us), you can save quite a bit!
<font color="0000ff">white blouse</font>
I find that most shops here can't meet my requirements for white long sleeve blouse. Either they look nice when worn but not so stretchable that can last me thru the 9 months else there is something wrong with the material... I ended up getting another shirt that is formal for business but not white though
you can try the shops at paragon or suntec. There are more choices.
<font color="0000ff">sugar content in urine</font>
Jasmine, did you eat anything too sweet before you go for the urine test? sometimes this happens cos my colleague ate too many popcorns b4 going for the test and the sugar level shot up to super high!
<font color="0000ff">constipation</font>
I drink lots of water a day when I am in office and drink milk as well to prevent constipation. So far it helps as milk has a laxative effect. For me at least...
<font color="0000ff">trips</font>
We are also planning a short trip up to Malaysia over the March school holidays' weekend. We are driving up with some friends and gynae also gave us the green light
I think after this, we are planning another trip to bangkok and another to Shanghai or something... at least b4 I pop else I doubt we can go anyway when new member comes in? As long as the journey is not too long and we take some time to stretch and move about, I think it's fine? Anyone else going on holiday too?
<font color="0000ff">backache</font>
Chrys, if you backache somes again, perhaps you may wanna consider pre natal massage? I heard it helps relives ache! HTH
\blue {antenatal class}
I have not booked... am enquiring with you gers here too... cos not sure when is good time to attend? too early wait forget too late scared not in time? and where is good? wanna attend together? hee....
sorry for my long-windednes

hi chrys,
I've booked for antenatal class at kkh liao. At 1st, I din want to book that early so am afraid that i'll forget. However, the person-in-charge said that the course is split into 3 sections. The 1st section will start from wk 16 to 19 covering stuff like nutrition and how to take care of ourself. Then there will be a 3-weeks break. The 2nd part will start from wk 22 to 25. If I'm not wrong, there will be a break again until it's closer to our edd. Then they will talk about vaccinations, delivery, etc.
I've also heard that the course at TMC by Mdm Wong is good. Think u gals can go for the course there.
Hope this helps! Do sign up quickly even for a course that's going to start later. When i signed up, the sat class at kkh was almost full.
Hi gals,
has anyone book the massage lady? Any recommendations?
hi piyo,
great to hear that you're planning for a holiday. shd go n enjoy if u have the time. most pple say 2nd trimester is the best time to go. How I wish I have the time to go. Really longing for a break.

piyo,
I tink a gd time to go for antenatal classes will be when u're abt 5-6 mths. I've heard rave reviews abt TMC's class conducted by Wong Boh Boh (dunno her exact name).
Yes, it's a great idea to go holiday b4 u pop. Can enjoy
jasmine,
For me, i took the triple test, jus for peace of mine. It's of cos not 100% accurate. But it sort of highlights to gynae wat to look out for. For instance when i was preggie wif my No 1, i was at high risk of having a bb wif neural tube defects. So my gynae spent a fair bit of time to check out the spinal cord area during the detailed scan to ensure dat everything is fine. Oso, it sort of prepares u mentally for any pblms dat may be likely to occur.
kelly,
I'm having a boy too

Thanks piyo - have looked at the stores in paragon and suntec. Indeed they have pretty nice coloured long sleeved/3/4 length sleeve shirts but my job requires me to wear white and only white. sigh. maybe I will just have to tailor some but not sure if tailor will be able to pull off a maternity shirt!
I'll be off to Shanghai in a week and half's time for holiday too - really looking foward to it!

bearybear,
i VERY HAPPY for you.
we can now discuss more abt how 2 handle our 2 lil princes (more like monkeys hor). i'm sure ur husband will be very pleased.
closing shop after this #2?
piyo,
IMO, antenatal class is the same everywhere in terms of contents. the difference is the teacher. TMC is known for its good antenatal class becos of Mrs Wong Boh Boi (she is very famous for promoting/helping mummies wif breastfeeding).
I delivered in MAH and attended antenatal class when I was 7.5mths (quite late) cos husband & i couldnt decide whether 2 attend anot. if i not wrong, there are 5-6lessons and it is conducted on wkday nites. i not sure if there r wkend classes.
2 me, the class is good for mummies who needs hands-on experience and/or dun read up abt their pregnancies. the 1st lesson was abt nutrition, it was pretty boring. the 2nd lesson was abt breastfeeding, very informative. the 3 & 4th lessons were abt labour exercises and exercises you can do when u r preggie & after u pop. the 5th lesson is abt bathing, handling, feeding bb. i not sure if there's a 6th lesson, i know there's a hospital tour after the last lesson. i didnt attend the 5th lesson cos i popped at 35wks. when i was lying on the hospital bed, the fellow MTBs were attending the last antenatal class.
this time, my massage lady is a chinese blind lady who will do tui-na & wrapping for me. i got a malay lady last time. very good but rather ex. she also massaged TCS mummies (zoe tay, ivy lim, etc).
i VERY HAPPY for you.

dino,
i share wif u wat my GF experienced.
my GF kenna leg cramps when she was abt 4-5mths preggie. she checked wif her gynae n her gynae advised tat she lack calcium hence e leg cramps. she increased her calcium intake via supplements & milk. her problem went off. she also slept wif her legs propped higher.
it never happened for me during my 1st pregnancy cos my GF shared wif me n i'm very diligent on calcium intake. it happened 2 me once last wk so i quickly faithfully consumed calcium thru my tablets & milk. so far so gd.
