helo helo! wah so many posts dunno if i can remember all i wanna say hehehee.
smiley, i am going for single bedded. not concerned about the sofa bed coz its only for 2 days and my hubby can sleep anywhere if the temperature is right hehehe. and if i rem correctly, it shld be convertible leh, will check with mrs wong again. i also want single bed coz I want baby to room-in with us as I wish to be responsive to his cries even during the night. i have checked with mrs wong, and she say room-in babies will still be regularly checked by the nurses at the same time as the nursery babies, so that is a load off my mind. i will be on total bfdg so i dun need them to bring him out to be fed. also, i wld rather be disturbed by baby throughout the day then be disturbed by the other mother's visitors esp if they are rowdy hehehe.
flower, u have a nice name!! and welcome to the thread!
yah ur 2nd one is what gender?
michelle, happy that u bought something u like! so is it a towel or a blanket material leh? is it the $30something one that i like from Luv baby? hehehee... got pic? PM me leh...
As for the talk about waterbirths, it IS allowed in Singapore. there has been planned waterbirths at home too, but it depends on ur doctor. Seriously, I have heard that it may be a bit difficult if u delivering at glen E coz glen E usually follows SOP during delivery and may not be that open to new ideas/approaches. i have seen a lot of russian waterbirth videos and they are simply amazing and divine the way the babies are borned. but though i am adventurous, dun think i opting for one hehehe. coz it will involve quite a lot of additional reading up, preparation, and choosing of a suitable gynae. the water temp has to be right, urs has to be low risk pregnancy and the doctor has to agree to it. too many factors involved.
about cordblood, there are a few talks by cordlife. here's the details
Upcoming talks open for registration in 2006

see if you guys wanna go. i dunno if i going leh, coz i think cordlife will tell you things that are to their benefit right? will they be honest about whether u can use the cordblood for ur baby?
about the contractions hor, i heard that braxton hicks will usually stop when you move around or change position. whereas real labour contractions will be there throughout.

Morning ladies
Welcome humpty-dumpty
Congrats on ur new baby boy! How's ur pregnancy so far? Good I hope!
Anyway ladies, remember we were talking about the mini-egg-washing machine? Well, Caltex has a special offer with HSBC. You can get the 1kg washing machine for free with 500 Thanks! points and $500 worth of petrol receipts from Caltex. The spending period is between 8 June-31 July. This is better when my hb got our machine. He had to accumulate $1000 worth of petrol receipts!
(ps: saw this in today's GSS supplement, pg11)

Also, I was surfing the DBS (Lady's Card) website and saw this...
<u>Rustic Nirvana</u>
$838 Post Natal Home Therapy (UP$1200)
- 5 days post-natal home therapy
(jamu wraps, massages for 5 consecutive days)
- sea salt detox herbal steam
(jamu wrap & steam @ studio, worth $450)
- 5 baby massages
<u>Wayan Retreat Balinese Spa</u>
$790 Post Natal Package (UP$1140)

Since there was some talk about this type of massages, I thought maybe some of you would know about these 2 places and whether they are any good? What abt those Malay ladies who come to the house? How much do they usually charge? Are they better?

Hi ilovebabies,
Well, I don't think it needs special washing detergent. In fact, we bought some Pureen detergent already. The max load is 1kg... so it's really for bb clothes. Here's the hsbc link...
http://www.hsbc.com.sg/sg/personal/cards/privi/caltex/
Those of u who are not HSBC card members can consider buying a 2nd-hand one from Yahoo auctions, or from Tangs. I think it's $239.

Hi to all,
I juz returned back from a 3 days MC. I was suffering from a very bad food poisoning... and the doctor almost suggested that i admit to the hospital for drip. Luckily, i was able to hold after medication. But now, very weak and having a damn bad stomach wind.
I haven't been eating solid food for days and i was quite upset. Upset that my baby suffered the same as i do.
Back at work but still terribly weak!
U know, when i come back.. my colleague still say 'oh then you managed to catch the soccer'... I have to reply to him saying ' nope! i have to rest alot!' .........What kind of sensitivity these people had!

Hi forgetmenot,
I'm on the lookout for one too
How much do these massage packages usually cost, do you know?
About breathlessness... tell me about it! After I climb into bed, I lie there panting for a few minutes! *pant*pant*pant* I can't walk so fast now and now my hb has to help pull me up from the floor, sofa, bed, etc... I feel like a beached whale!

Great ilovebabies, thanx for updating us! She's like a free-lance massage lady then? Not like those spa places?

I got this contact for malay massage lady from a friend who said she was very good. When i saw my friend 3 months after her delivery she did not look like she had just given birth. She was so slim. Then again it could be different for different individual. I think i'll try her.

Hi Little Pony, dun worry too much bb will be ok... my friend was terribly sick too during her pregnancy ate lots of medications not meant for pregnancy but her bb came out healthy and well. Just take good care of yourself from now on. Dun cry will affect bb. keep talking to bb positively all should be well.

Hi ladies,
me also having the same pelvic pain problem when flipping over..
I booked @ <400 sgd for 7 sessions with a malay massage lady from a lobang from augbaby.. (Aug MTB side)..
On top of this, i am also rustic member.. do note that rustic's home visit post natal is special.. they actually bring a portable steaming device.. so will help u lose the water faster.. if u dun want to pay for their home visit.. u can go down to their spa to do it also.. as i am member with sessions there, i can convert any sessions to pre/post natal/ slimming/ relaxing massage and/or wrap/ sandstone therapy/ facial also ok..
I had a miscarriage previously, and did their post natal massage at the spa to lose my water retention and my tummy.. it works really fast lor..
Will be doing the malay lady's at home during confinement month, after which i will do any extra sessions of post natal/ slimming @ rustic.. this way, i maximise it.. BTW, cos i long time member, my per session @ rustic cost me 63 sgd only.. is sama sama price and for the convertibility to other type of massages/ facial... i think it is worth it!!
Juz my 2 cents worth..
the malay lady contact i have is Mdm Inah @ 90076578.. 380sgd / session.. say u fren of Shermeen.. (Augbaby) and can get this price.. but she never throw in baby massage ah.. take note!

haha jasmine u r so cute
take legs and not the pincers. i just took everything cos i think all babies will be 'itchy hand' no matter wat u eat! anyway we can only wait n see when they come out whether there's any truth at all! i guess i love crabs too much to give it up too. i can still sacrifice cofee and alchohol cos there seems 2b scientific reasons, as for crab.. hmm....
Hi Little Pony, hope you are feeling better... I also suffered from food poisoning 2 mths back and was hospitalised for 2 days.. It was really terrible.... Don't worry, bb will be ok...
I've been popping medication on and off since I got pregnant (antacid, anti-biotics, piriton, cough mixture etc)... hope there won't be any side effects on the bb....

Hi littlepony, I hope u get better soon
Yup, a kicking baby is a good sign! Bena's right, small meals and lots of water to rehydrate urself. Don't take dairy products. My colleague was hospitalised last wk for food poisoning/stomach virus and she was told to avoid dairy products for now.
Thanks for the contact bena
and thanx for the info, jasmine
I'll prob give these ladies a call to find out more... do our bbs need massage?? Coz some packages do that.
Michelle I had no idea we couldn't eat crabs! So I haven't been abstaining from them of course, hee hee hee... they are too good to pass... especially chilli crab with fried mantou!!

Hellobaby, i also did only 1 blood test. But i did it on my 14wk (if i remembered correctly)
Actually i dunno what does a detailed scan consists of. Dr.Lee did not ask me if i wanted any detailed scan nor asked me to pay anything extra. Each visit, he does the usual scan for the bb heart beat, the head size to determine the EDD date, the weight of bb, scan to show us the heart, stomach, bladder, etc... Is this considered detailed scan?
Joon, i think no need to worry about crab. My cousin ate SO MUCH crabs during her pregnancy and her boy is just as healthy

bena, oh ya think 14wk. I have bad memory. i'm also confused with the detailed scan thingy. my fren did a detailed scan and have to pay a few hundreds. I think with Dr Lee we are saving money
He checks for bb heartbeat, head size, weight and organs of the bb during each visit. Which were what described for the detailed scanning. My aunty, sister, sis in laws, mom all his patients.
gals, I ate crabbies too.. heh... my sis in law refrained from eating crabs but her gal also very active and touchy leh... hahaha... so i think depending on bb's character lah...
