(2008/01) Jan 2008 MTBs

I wonder if this happens to any mummies ard 20 weeks. I could just feel breathless the moment I laid down on bed.. Sometimes I feel choke on my throat and have to quickly get up for air.

And on monday and yesterday, I would suddenly feel breathless, as if something pressing between my bust and tummy.. then I would slowly feel like I going to see "stars" and break cold sweat.. and I know I am about to faint. I did not do anything tedious. Just sitting in front of the PC and do msn chat.

Jacelyn,
Yes, it happens to me and the area ard my belly button.. so ugly sia.

Superchoc,
Must stay strong and think positive...your gynae will help n protect you n ur baby to go through these hard times....
 
All / 2nd time mummy,
have u tried using/heard of the "Klorane dry shampoo from Guardian"? I heard that some ladies used it during their confinement to reduce itch & prevent oily scalp.
 
Hi!
Can i check with you. Whats a receiving blanket. Me tried finding it at Taka fair but couldnt find. Me ended up buying a fleece blanket which I dun think is right. REalised that fleece might cause allergy in babies and also asmatha. Heard from some friends. so worried. Any advises on what to look out for in this receiving blanket?
 
Mrs piggy,

thanks

actually i got two breast pumps (all 3rd time hands me-down) one from Tollyjoy (electric) and the other from Pigeon (manual) but both are worn-out/dirty, rubber cup yellowish so i was contemplating whether to buy the 2nd hand Avent offered at $180 only (UP $279).
 
I think most hospital will give you a receiving blanket for baby upon discharge? izit? i think 100% cotton is still the best for newborn bah.
 
hi Tattyhug,

we shared same gynae n same EDD n same Hosp n same Gender (i hope so.. will be going detail scan tmr to double confirm) !! heehee ..

i bought smthg fleece for my #1 before, but realised it was too warm for our weather, even in air-con. Receiving blanket is like any blanket.. to wrap the baby in. Dun wrap also nvrmind, Sgp so HOT!

anyways, those delivering in TMC will get a hooded towel that u can use to wrap bb up as u are discharged. They will also provide a sleeved top for bb. *wonder if anything has changed.. my info is abt 2 yrs old. hee hee

i thought this one not bad
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/950508.html?1189056736
but i gotto 'lun' coz i bought too many blankets liao.. got 2 BN ones waiting for #2, coz bought too many for gorgor.
 
yunbb
eh, but i noticed the design for diaper bag changed... looks a bit better now, but i still wouldn't use it coz i prefer haversack

Hi all,
Besides receiving towel, how many should i get? One is enough? How abtt towels? MUst get a hooded towel? What kind of material is safer for new born to use? Also. for those small hankerchief to clean their face or slivia. Can we just get from those simple kind. Or is there a specific brand? like those cute ones from KIddy palace or robinsons?
Advises please.
 
re: blankets to swaddle bb
i used cloth nappies to swaddle bb, so initially i only had 1-2 blankets for use in aircon rm. Blankets no need to wash daily, so no need to buy so many.

re: hankies
buy cheap ones can liao.. unless vain then buy cute ones lor. Those u can afford to get more, coz good to use to wipe breastmilk spills too. The other time i din know, kept using tissue paper, within 2wks finished a large box! Shld've used hankies then can wash and reuse.

in this climate, go for cotton material.
 
Golden Pig,
Thanks so much for your advises. So guess a simple hooded towel will do fine. I keep my fleece aside first lor. Yah, think hankies those pasar malan got both cheap and cute one! haha. One of a vain mummy

Hi gals
Jus came back from lunch and it's super duper hot weather out there ! Almost turning into a suckling pig liao !
 
Golden Pig,
Are you using cloth nappies for ur bb instead of diapers? How are you going to wash them? Is it like normal washing? Thanks...
 
hi,
had fried guotiao for lunch. yummy...

re: hook blanket
...hmm...i rem my aunt bot me a hook towel from ikea...quite big and nice...lambs designs on it...

re: diapers
most likely will be using disposable diapers. cloth diapers me will use it as pillow for the newborn.
 
Golden Pig,
Thats nice. SOmemore got nice design for the receiving blanket. Is one enough? Do we need get another. We only use it to bring bb back home. After that won't use liao hor?

Re diaper- IS cloth diaper btter? Me prefer pampers as easier rite? IF not lei chei leh. What diaper brands are good?
 
fern,
receiving blanket, u can double-up as blanket at home or wrap bb when go out or when go back clinic for checkup.

cloth diaper is said to be better so that bb butt can breathe and less prone to rashes. otherwise, get a good nappy rash cream and apply some on bb delicate skin just in case or only apply when rashes appear. just rem to change soiled diapers regularly and not too long in btw.

so far i only tried pampers and mamypoko for newborn diapers. it all depends on what brand ur bb butt suitable.
 
mylvera,
oic.. 9mth on/off bf.. good work..but quite tought to bf when ourself oso not in tip top gd condition..esp when bb's teeth's growing... *Ouch*

Yunbb,

the one from TMC i used as towel for bb after bath. We didn't wrap bb up when we brought him out - only swaddle him with cloth nappies.

kaili
i bought a pack of cloth nappies thought of trying it out, but got lazy - dunno how to fold & din even buy safety pins.. in the end used disposables instd. Turned out to be a good move coz really can't predict bb's poo.. so in the end the cloth nappies are used to swaddle bb & like what mei said, for bb's pillow.
 
Steph u saw my blog? No clear cos is very big A3 size diff angle of baby ....

Tatty, I will check with my thyroid doc .... shall update u again .. he is on holiday will only get to see him on 26 sept
 
how come it's hook blanket ah? I thought it's hood. or hooded.

steph

Re: Diapers
My MIL bought 2 dozen of cloth diapers and would like to check which is better - cloth or disposable diapers? My friend recommend me to use disposable so that we do not need to wash them so oftenly.
 
Hi mummies, remember we did say b4 to meet up together after our 1st trimester?? Are we gg to meet up? hehehe
 
QQ,
I wanna meet up.. when I come back. :p I would be back by early Nov. Mummies go ahead and snap some pix to show me. :p
 
QQ,

aiyo pai seh leh...1st time meet up
kao_blush.gif
Can la, no prob. Poll somewhere central...meet up for lunch during weekday then we can go shop shop bb stuffs together, how? Weekday not so crowded. ALL - any suggestion?

If too tired to shop then go Karoake ai mai?? my 2cents suggestion onli la
happy.gif
Shall we wait till all of us have done our detailed scan then meet up?
 
Kai Li,

your friend is right. Disposable will bring a lot of convenience.

nappies you will wash till siao...they always poo in the beginning one
 
dear all..

FYI pamper (red in colour), they diaper is better for Baby. My MIL baby some for me to keep for my 2nd bb.. Now pamper pricing keep going up. she bought the Pamper (red In colour). ** 2 month ago at $11.80 at NTUC. Now the price go Up till $14.80.**

I think ur gals can buy some n keep.BTW MANY POKO not so good my girl use liao got leakage. Pampers better..

++ FYI red pamper packing n Pupler pamper packing the quality not much different ++

PETPET Diaper also not bad. I use petpet in day time. PETPET diaper can last for 5 - 6 hours; much better then DRYPERS. Cos few of me n my frens try DRYPERS, endup our bb backside got rashes so we try PETPET N we found PETPET better.... ** PETPET I BOUGHT LAST MONTH THE PRICE IS $9.80 FOR S SIZE 40PCS NOW UP TO 11.80 AT NTUC**
 
icy,
I got the breathlessness for quite a while, juz last week or so I felt that it was so bad that it warrent me to call my gynae. So the asst there suggested that I go down. My gynae checked my heart beat and even sent me to do ECG. Report and all appear ok. Then, only on tues, I got the very bad breathlessness together with ear blocked. So immediately, I went to see my GP, wondering does the ear blocked got anything to do with my breathlessness. So after examining all the possible causes. Concluded that as I got sinus and if r u also aware, preggie gets blocked nose v easily. So I couldnt breath properly. Thus, leading me feeling so breathless. This is the case for me.
 
diaper wise...actually different babies...fit different babies

they must try one. the diaper that fits other babies well might not fit yours...best to take samples
 
mrs piggy,
for me, i tried pampers red and purple packaging. the red one cutting seems smaller than the purple one. quality is no as good as the purple one. my girl tried the red one and develop rashes...

re: meet-up!!?
when? where? wkday? wkend? PH? day? night? so excited!! ah!! maybe we can have a BBQ!! haha...or we look for dinner place where we can have buffet! eat till we full!! haha...or is there any trial lessons ur wanna try? we can see if there is any trial lesson for pregnant mummy? or ah!! a manicure/pedicure session to pamper ourselves!!!
