vanessa,
toy r us selling those foldable toilet seats, are they disposable types? thanks... ya at home not a problem but go out problem

oh yours still quite young hor...so hv to wear diaper.

do u think those NTUC Healthcare pharmacy sell those types of disposable toilet seats?

MBB,
where do u buy the toilet seat cover? wah...your toe nails broke the nail clipper ah?? I thot i read wrongly.

 

[mbb]

Bloom,
according to books, it starts ard 24 weeks onwards.
but like wat Vanessa mentioned, also not very accurate one.

but overall, i tink bb will move lesser due to lack of room in the uterus.
i cant wait to feel bb's little hands and feet protuding out of my tummy.

 

[gingertea]

shihui,
wonder whether my nails considered weird too..hehe...mayb can try let pple cut for me next time after delivery..hehe...^^

mbb,
wow...ur nails are "super hard" type...hehe...next time can use ur toe nails as weapons..hehe...

 

[mbb]

qwer,
i take from aircraft. FOC but mahfan coz it's in a big box, so i hv to put it in zip lock bag.
try going to Daiso in IMM (another branch is opening in Plaza Sg in Sept). normally jap store sell in smaller package. i saw in Japan.

yup, my toenail is super hard. sometimes must use both hands to hold nail clipper in order to cut it. dun noe good or bad.

 

[gingertea]

mbb,
tik hard is good kua...i only noe hor, if too soft means ur body dunnoe lack of wat vitamin n hor, tink soft nails tend to be very fragile, it breaks easily..so far, hv not heard anything bad abt hving hard nails...mayb hard to cut n break nail clippers? hehehe...^^

 

[mbb]

qwer,

if our meet up session is after 18th Sept, i will try to get you a box. no promises coz i only have only 3 more flts to catch.

 

[dogggies]

MBB,
U serious?? Or the nail cutter old liao

Shihui,
NVM about the weird toenail, so long healthy can liao

Bloom,
I can imagine my hubby doing that to BB when he is born. So cute right, bonding between daddy n BB

 

[mbb]

doremi,
yeah. i guess it's better then having too soft nails.
i juz go pedi and let ppl cut for me lah.
have not cut my own nails for years leh. now abit worried coz maybe clumsy when i need to cut for bb. once i tried to cut for hubby, i ended up cutting his flesh too

 

[choo]

Bloom,

nope not food poisoning..just MS..haha me dun mind MS all the way till delivery ah!
hey yr bb kicks alot! good!!!

more to come!

i just started a spreadsheet too!

wow maternity way ald $880! then plus stroller $340 cot $238 clothes,bb bath,mitten,booties,etc etc now ald $700+...not including those receipts woch i have not consolidating n key into excel sheet..going to do so tis weekend!

wow bb not here ald cost a bomb!!

my gynae package $500 at 20th week then $1000 at 32th week! ex? but she is good so no complain!

 

[jennytansc]

Shihui,
how many piece in total u buy for M wear? $500 ar? is alot leh. hehehhee

i also "hao bu dao na li qu" although buy from neighbourhood also spent almost $200+ lidat. But till today still feel not enuf.. just now go that neighbourhood shop see. wow new stock arrive. makes me thinking to go buy nxt wk when pay comes in. ahhaha

Actually from preg, until bb come alot of money is being spent esp big one is doc consultation & big bulky items. adding up maybe can be $2-3K leh.. faint.. havnt realli include bb future milk powder & pampers..etc..

 

[chime68]

doremi,
wahahaha...i laugh after reading your posting abt the toe nail as 'weapon'

MBB,
thanks! Oh u working in aircraft? Diaso opening another branch at PS soon!? Good lah...other wise go IMM too far for me. I stay in the east.

right now, perhaps I go toy r us to hunt for the toilet seat cover 1st...

i think i saw OG people's park (baby's dept) selling it too. oh maybe kiddy palace may hv. haha...i find their tel no. & call up to enquire 1st.

 

[chime68]

choo,
wah your gynae charge u twice ah? thot package price once u pay, include checkup till full term?

my package price - S$600 fr 20 wks to full term. exclude vitamin & extra unscheduled consultations. only include urine test, mthly checkup, scans on every checkup. Dunno how many wks onwards visit will be fornightly, then weekly.

 

[vaness81]

Aiyo, all this expenses that last time I keep, now already suan bu qing liao....

qwer,
the toilet seat is not disposable one....

 

[choo]

Qwer,

Yup she charge twice cos her antenatal package starting from week 20 in total is $1500 lor..bt maybe she afraid 'xiong' for us patients so breakdown into 2 'instalement' so we find time to find $$

mine from 20weeks till 32weeks is 4 weeks per visit then week 32 to week 36 is 2 weeks per visit then will be weekly visit liao

 

[dey]

MBB,
Aircraft got give seatcover one meh? I didn't know leh..so just request from the air crew?
How u managed to keep your toenail so hard and solid? Mine kept breaking leh..now preg even worse, kept chipping off.. so now super ugly..grrr

 

[dogggies]

Choo, Shihui,
My GF pass me some M wear that i am still wearing butI also spent around $500+ for M wear. Never know it is so costly.

I dare not add the total cost yet. Sure alot of money want. Plus i have not buy the play-pen yet.

Choo,
Yr gynae charges is really expensive. So does the total of $1,500 include delivery??

Jen,
BTW, the government is giving $3K cash for 1st BB. So in a way it cover some of the initial expenses lor

 

[gingertea]

mbb,
tik hor, can use ur "clumsiness" as excuse for not cutting nails for ur bb..hehe...get ur hb to cut..hehe...^^ when i c u said u accidently cut ur hb's flesh, i dunnoe y hor, i imagine myself cut my hb's then feel very happy leh...cham le...tink hor, i'm secretly unpleased wif my hb...

 

[dogggies]

doremi,
U sound like got some "bian tai" symptom....hahahah.....like to see your hubby suffer

 

[chime68]

choo,
$1500 include delivery fees right?

 

[jennytansc]

jackie,
$3k is not enuf one lar. having a bb is costly.. i think once my bb arrive liao will buy insurance liao since maybe i wont want to opt for cord bank.

[qianhui]

Hi Shihui,

Ya lor.. coz I happened to have a spreadsheet when I have my wedding, reno and HDB flat... The BB stuffs is just add on.. So quite easy for me.

Most items can be found in the credit card bills, etc.. else, can remember them so long they are not too long like a few mths.

Me also only bought some M clothings only.. now still like wear the same few pieces. Anyway, I dun like M clothings.. looks so ugly, so I jus buy those stretchable skirts and wear them as tube.. cheaper, recyclerable and more fashionable as well.

Me gynae fee already subsidised liao, some more pram bought at highly discounted rate, UNO pump also 2nd hand one at $150. Dunno how come still spent so much... Not to mention that I haven buy those warmer, steriliser, bath, diapers, playpen etc.. And of coz delivery fee..

Jen,
I am KS, gg to store BB stem cell in blood cord and buy insurance at the same time.....Just need a peace of mind lor.

 

[isishui]

Jen,
yup.. still loose... i wear those straight rubber at top one.. i think they need a bigger tummy to prevent the rubber band fr slipping down...

i'm oso very used to wearing those with wire liao.. gives a more secure feeling.. without wire one gives a saggy feeling leh.. like out of shape lidat...

 

[dogggies]

Qianhui,
Thank for the info, will go shopping this weekend at Robison instead of taka liao cause got extra 5% with Robinson Card

 

[choo]

[isishui]

jackie,
haha.. i very nice liao leh.. teach doremi how to let her hubby suffer abit onli...

 

[bobianah]

Jen, shihui,
You should really try Tangs. Bonds bras are really good and sporty looking, not droppy or not enough support, very well made, no need to worry about "grape" showing cos it's padded. The Sista brand I bot was also padded, very sexy, in red! And the Calvin Klein I nearly bot was super sexy too...but exp, so didn't buy..yet!

You gals should really try looking at Tangs. Better than Triumph and Sorella anyday! After I went Tangs then I realise have nice non-underwire bras with good support! I also bot the Bonds tube/bandana bra, material also quite thick... becos i so particular abt "grape" showing, I just bought those bra inserts for swimming costumes and put inside as added "protection".

 

[choo]

just realised i will be seeing my gynae next fri! ald took half day pm leave

wow 4 week so long...next fri then can see bb

 

[gingertea]

jackie,
last time when i paktor, i used to bite my hb when angry..tik tik har, no more jor after married...no appetite leow?? hehe...anyway, tink hor somehow feel abit more balance to c him in pain...

shihui,
hehe...appreciate ur teachings..hehe...sometimes hor, this type of "teachings" is good n healthy..hehe...

jackie, shihui,
we can set up a "bian tai" club leow..haha...^^

 

[dey]

Shihui,
Wah..already 6th month and your M wear still loose? I noticed mine especially the tops are getting tighter leh
