hi fen,
for choice of 2 or 4 bedder, I think it is best to make the decision after your hospital tour. They will bring you to look at the wards, so that you will know whether you will be comfy staying there for the couple of nights. As far as I remember, MAH's 2 bedder rooms are quite spacious.
The worst I think will be MEH, the 2 bedder rooms are rather crampy,and you really need to pray hard that you have a good neighbor. Got a friend who just deliver there. The neighbor's family treat the visit to hospital like a family picnic. The neighbor's visitors start dropping in at 8am and wouldn't leave until 11pm. My friend was rather annoyed but she was too polite to say anything. It was also quite embarassing when the visitor kids just pop their head through the opening of the curtain while she tried to do breastfeeding.
Re: Shopping.
I would recommend to start shopping for baby stuff before 3rd trimester when our tummy get too big and tired. Things like mittens and booties can buy a few more since they need regular washing.
For milk bottles, I think the better quality ones are from Avents but they comes in odd shape and size, which means you will need to use accessories such as teats, breast milk pump of the same brand. Avents aren't cheap too. I brought NUK for my boy and will use the same for this baby. Their teats are highly recommended by hospitals moreover they are more versatile- can fit into other brand of bottles (except for avent and some pigeon bottles). It also fit in nicely to the medula breast milk pump collection bottle.
Oh.. you can also consider getting a bottle steamer. Really save time as compare to traditional way sterilizing bottles using boiling water.
snowflake, perhaps you should call up your gynae for an appointment since you are worried. If you are in your 15 to 17 weeks, you can do the test already, better get it over and done with so that you can have a good night sleep lor.
