Wow. Didn't know the cost can escalate to $4k during CNY period. Think they will just take the once in a year opportunity to earn more $.
Maternity Clothings
have been hearing you gals saying that babydoll dresses/tops are in fashion now. i've been looking around but don't seem to see much leh. i wanna buy babydoll clothings too. more practical and can wear after birth. now i also dare not step into maternity shop, dunno why.

didn't know can knit such cute animal. used to knit when i was in secondary school, but only did simple stuff like tissue box holder.

welcome. soya bean is ok. i didn't drink milk so far. only drank soya bean milk. i was having nausea feeling during 1st trimester, whole day like got a funny bitter taste in the mouth. didn't vomit though. now much better but still have occasional nausea feeling.
gain of 2kg in weight is ok i feel. the weight gain or loss really depends on individuals. my gynae told me it's not surprising not to gain any weight during 1st 3 mths, as long as bb growing, it's fine. if there's weight gain, then it's a bonus.
bbkgal
maybe you should import fashionable maternity wear to thailand, sure will be a hit.

jacelyn, i bot L and XL sizes long top from Bega and i think it's very suitable.
dor, thanks for the recommendation! may want to explore this alternative too
purple, CL will cook confinement food for the mummy, take care of bb, wash bb's clothes, and sometimes clean the house if time permits. So in arab all ladies durinc confinement do not engage anybody to help out other than own mums?

oohh jacelyn, if you manage to find half cup no wire, let me know hor? half cups are so sexy. need to feel sexy again man. everyday wake up feel like a hippo. i'll try sorella.
stephie, good idea but import tax in thailand is sky high. Cannot make money leh. i heard of another idea from a fren. apparently there's a company here that rents out breast pumps to moms here. the breast pump brand is medela. apparently quite good biz. good idea for mommies who dun wanna invest in expensive pumps. u think this will work in spore?

actually...in the (malay) muslim community...we don engage in a CL...not that i noe of anyway..
i think mothers taking care of mummy is the best kind...and mothers can have more pantang!!
usually its the mum's mother or mil will take care...then maybe engage a maid if need.
And judging frm the price u ladies mention....its so expensive....

hi ladies,
my sis just posed me a question: where will bb sleep when born?
my room is quite small, if i squeeze the baby cot in there won't be any walking space. hb and my 'long term plan' was to put bby cot in the other room opposite ours but now im just thinking, for the 1st month, wouldn't it be more convenient to put bb in same room as me?
if bb sleep in same room and wakes up in the middle of the night for feeds, wouldn't this disturb hb's sleep? or do most hb sleep in another room during this period?

hi piglettail,
i think what u suggested sounds reasonable enuff..for the first mnth ...bb cot can be in ur room...then its easier for u to nurse the baby..i think ur hb wont mind...maybe both of u can work out a plan..take turns to wake up..hehe..
as for me...i was thinking of just having the baby in the room for him/her...we are going to decorate the room..if need to move the cot here and there...abit leceh...and our rooms are very near to each other..but then again its only just plans...

piglettail, my first born always slept with us, even though the room was small, we squeezed in her cot and gave up the TV table to the corner. I guess for me hb was quite good and would wake up to do night feeds for me, or even wake up to accompany me when i express milk because first few months i had to express at midnight and 3 am otherwise will wake up in a bed wet with milk.

bkkgal...long time never see you!! how are you? i thought thai ladies should be very trendy leh. but from what you describe - so funny!!! aiyo i cannot imagine myself in sailor moon man.
recently i've tried to improvise my dressing. i buy long tunic tops 2 sizes larger than normal and then wear them over 3/4 slacks with a belt on my hips. then i fluff out the top a bit (imagine those secondary school girls in pinafores and who wear their belt very low). pple say cannot tell i'm pregnant when i dress like that although my tummy is seriously big. hope i can dress like that for another month or two.
you gals may want to give it a shot =P

hahah...wah so terok man..tot the hurdle would be over after u give birth..hehe...ive heard of all those...but didnt believe them...if u get a garang CL..then how??
actually for muslims...no particular pantang..coz its based on our religious framework...just have to make sure, u are clean, baby is clean.
however, if u follow ur race, malay,javanese or indian...then another story la..hehe..
i dun noe much..coz i wasnt exposed to that while growing up.
i noe for malay/javanese, usually the mum will go for traditional massages after delivery, takes lots of jamu, go for some tummy warp thingy. but im sure, the more traditional families will have more pantang. For muslims, regardless of race, you can follow these tradition as long it doesnt contradict with our religous beliefs.
For indians...i dunno...but im sure theres alot!! from what ive heard and seen frm my frens, frm the moment baby is born, there's alot of tradition things/events have to go thru..
but i think taking the food and herbs u mention shd be good right...coz for us anything that is good for the person is okay...but not washing hair....hmmm....

to add on....for malays..i guess during the pregnancy theres where the pantang is...
like u noe...ppl believe in spirits right...majority of preggy mums bring with them some things..like a nail or hairclip (smthing sharp), a spice (clove i think) i dunno la...all these to prevent unneccessary things frm following them....scary...if u let ur mind wonder..
for me...i dont carry..coz my mum doesnt believe in that la...shes not that pantang in that context..hehe...but i just have to maintain a strong will...and always say my prayers...hehe..
also...during preg, we are very careful of what we speak..cannot anyhow whack talk especially abt ppl!...then if u say anything not nice...they always say to pat ur butt..hehe..funny right...

thanks for the suggestions on where to get babydoll dress or top. will check out those places you mentioned.
garfield/tongtong
i bathe and wash my hair during my confinement (with boiled chinese herbs water). just that didn't do so everyday cos my mum didn't allow. think i bathed every other day and washed 2-3 times a week.
ya, can be very hot especially when i drank only red date tea and must drink while it's still hot/warm. perspire like mad. had to sponge myself to keep clean.
tute
haven't been to the shop you mentioned. the clothes look quite nice price wise should be in mid-range.
