morning ladies...
patsy, glad to hear baby is growing well.. u rest lots and update us again okie? dun stress, relax...
ladies, i have a question..i've asked this problem before but now the pain is driving me up the wall leh. will ask dr during my visit this week thou i have a feeling he will tell me it's 'normal pregnancy syndrome'...
my nipples hurts...*very very paiseh* esp when i wear a strapless bra.
i have bought new strapless bras in bigger cup sizes and 'ribcage sizes' but it still doesn't work. went to maternity shops but most of the strapless bras are either too big for me (they usually start at 36 (aka 80)) or are the 'tube bra' kind with no cup shape and support (cos they are too big for me).
any ladies with recomendations on what i can do or where i can find comfortable straplessless bras?

hi dawn!! congrats and welcome!! i'm with dr. loh too =)
hi moi dar, i don't know the exact situation you are facing, but based on my own conversations with my hubby (re considering if i should not work eventually), my conclusion is that males have slightly different goals for the family.
i am generalizing here, but i think overall for females, spending time with our loved ones is very important. for males, providing for their loved ones materially is very important. to me, both are important and the key to it is balance.
for eg. if you have started shopping for baby stuff, especially gadgets, you will realize that baby stuff can range from $ to $$$$$$. men being men, tend to get attracted to the high end gadgets (machum cars, hi-fi etc), which naturally cost more.
for my hubby, he wants double income so that we can better provide for our families including parents (both sides are retired, with little savings). he also would like us to be able to build capital and savings faster so that we can retire earlier together.
of course, as you have pointed out, it means less time for me and baby together. but it helps to understand where he is coming from (and i don't disagree with him completely).
so to me, a good compromise is to find a job with flexi hours and/or part time. then i get to spend more time with my kid, and at the same time contribute to provide for a better life for our families collectively.
have a good chat with your hubby. not good to be resentful of the situation....

ATTENTION TO all mummies going to the avent event!
Please dont send me the money! Garfield, since you sent me already i will register yours together with mine. since can have max 2 couple in 1 chque
REason being i called PHillips but they cant let us issue a single cheque with all the payment! I can only issue a cheque up to a maximum of 2 couples. Since some of us going as a single, some couple, some 1 session only and some 2 sessions, i would have to issue different cheques for different categories. somemore they only recognise one person's name and not all the names. ie they wont be issuing any tickets, they will only recognise by registered name on that day.
So the lady ask me to request you all to register SEPARATELY. So STUPID RIGHT!!! she said she needs separate cheques for recording purposes. aiyoh!!
Anyway if any of you got time you can also call her and ask again, see wehtehr we can send in 1 cheque. including my own friends, altogether 17 person. If not, then i think you all really need to send the chque your own already!

purple,
ya agree it's very stressful. for example prams, started out with the maclaren at 300+ then got attracted to quinny at 700+ and now in love with aprica at 1000+. *GOSH ROLL EYES* i think we need to do some serious $$ planning haha
dor,
went to baby hypermart yest, the maclaren techno xt going for $459 with 10%. so mothercare is cheaper cos giving 20% (but only limited to grey colour). i asked the mothercare staff - they say this is the best possible price and even DEC sales will not be lower. not sure about baby hypermart though.
my friend got his at kids' mall at $269 but without warranty cos they are not authorized distributor.

i have a feeling at baby hypermart, if u buy togther with someone elso, they might be able to give u better price, coz when i was there, she said there's no particular promotion time.
our maclaren also left with that grey color, i just hb to take it..bb will be sitting on most of the grey anyway..hehe..

hi piglettail,
do you think pads to ease sore breasts during breastfeeding will help? i think they work like those gel pads you put on your shoe to protect the ball of feet.

Patsy,
Please take care and rest well. Hope you can discharge soon.
Tongtong,
I've already transfered $16 to you yesterday. So now I just call them and register separately, right?
Detailed scan...
I just did my detailed scan on Sat and really glad that bb is doing well. 100% confirmed bb is a girl and quite a naughty one too. When the doc showed me the bb, she was quiet and kuai-kuai... after the doc praised her and started to take the measurements, she started turning round and round... and playing hide-and-seek with the doc... my hb was laughing away and the doc almost expoded
The doc said my bb shld be a tall bb like me coz the length of her thigh is quite long.

Hi, was reading the thread about whether to continue to work after delivery. Just to share my experience. Before we got married, I already hinted to hubby that if we have kids, I want to have the luxury of looking after BB. So, no condo, we bought a cheaper 5rm resale flat at Tampines near in laws to qualify for 40k grant. We took a 30 year loan, so that can pay off housing loan with just his income. We qualify for HDB loan so a bit less stressful than bank loan, at least the interest is fixed. Now that I'm expecting, chose KKH to save money on pre natal and delivery charges cos I'm govt servant so can claim 90% of bills.
But I calculated the sums yesterday, if I were to work part-time not even quit and be full time mum, the allowance for parents, my own insurance, meals, transport etc will wipe out all of my take home pay. And if I don't work, All these expenses going to come from hubby's pocket or dip into my savings. We won't be able to afford to send BB to a better playgroup, attend enrichment classes (swimming, piano etc), bring them on holidays unless Malaysia etc and our retirement nest egg will be on hold or even dwindle. Anyway, after calculating, told hubby looks like I can't afford to quit.
So, Plan A now is work full time, and get in laws to look after BB, Plan B is to work part time if arrangement with in laws don't work out, finally Plan C then to quit totally if I can ever take that plunge. I think it's important to sit down and list down all the household expenses then go through with hubby so that you know what you are prepared for life with just 1 income or 1.5 income. I think hubby will also be more supportive even if you do decide to be FTM if it's a joint decision after careful consideration/calculation.

hi kitsune,
agree with your views on being FTM.
when we first got married, we capped our basic expenses based on the salary of the party with lower income. so it is indeed possible for either one of us to stop work.
however, will have to forgo a lot of frills if indeed i become a FTM. won't be able to indulge in my parents and children as much as i would like to. for me, being able to support my parents so that they don't need to worry about money is very important.
so the bottom line for me is that i would prefer to have 2 incomes, can make do with 1.5 income, but 1 income is (for the time being) a distant possibility.

dear mummies
is there any cause for concern when you see pink streaks when you wipe the vaginal after urinating..hmm..i been seeing that on the tissue paper after i go toilet since yesterday. Duno if its because i tried too hard to pass my stools over the weekends, causing the bleeding. Do you think i should observe for another day or so?

Hi, Garfield. here's my blog http://www.anewpiggy.blogspot.com/ But you have to go to the older posts to see my hubby's cartoons cos I've bought a lot of stuff lately and have been happily posting about my buys. hee hee. Another reason why I can't stop working.

hi all...
Dororthy, thanks for helping me register! so do I send in the money seperately or together with you (since can only have 2 names on 1 cheque)?
Did you register my name for the event as 'Piglettail'? Then i will write that at the back of my cheque to indicate to the Avents/Philips people it's from me.
Garfield, thanks for your advise! I will check it out--similar products at the shops..thou they look like cooling pads to cool the breast rather than the nipples? but i m desperate already...arrgh.
strollers/baby cots
I recall there were 2 shops mentioned often-Baby Kingdom and somwhere else...that sells a big variety of big baby items at good prices? could I have the name of the shops and location?
hb and i are first time parents and totally blur, all our immediate close friends are not married or no kids yet. so far the only places that we 'know' that sells baby items are the children department of departmental stores like BHG, Metro, etc,etc...
We went to look at strollers for first time yesterday at BHG, and hb look worried after 'surveying' the prices and things we need to buy. i know he's getting worried about the finances... reality is kicking in.
i feel quite bad cos i cant contribute much/help to improve our finances at this stage (since i can't try to change a job for better salary for now until i deliver).
Any tips on where i can go shop for those big items at good prices?

hi kitsune
i agree with what u said. actually i think my hb will agree with u totally!
currently on hb's salary is just nice for us, so during my maternity period, we will try out the one income thingy, coz im currently a contract staff, no maternity benefits.
anyway, hb also pointed out tt hopefully in 2-3 yrs time, when his position is better, maybe i don have to work.
our hdb house is bgt directly frm hdb, so it was cheaper and we are looking into ways to make our money grow...have used cpf $$ for some investment funds. and when bb is born will open up some kind of savings, so tt his education is kinda secured later on..
other than that, we have to live it out, no point plan so much,later got stuck.

Hi, Piglettail. The two stores are Baby Hyperstore and Baby Kingdom. I went to both but prefer Baby Kingdom for its friendly sales staff, BB hyperstore stuff quite bo chap. It's a Shun Li Industrial Park near Kaki bukit (forgot the street name). Anyway, one of the MTBs from Jan thread bought her Capella S705 stroller there at $285 but I found a cheaper supplier selling at $265, got free delivery too. http://kiddybee.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_36&products_id=157. Better check prices first before buying.

Tongtong,
I feel that getting a medical insurance for bb is more important compared to saving or life insurance. 'Coz bb young maybe more problematic lor... So that will be my top priority... other insurances can wait until bb deliver... I'm planning to meet up with my financial advisor to see there is any suitable plan. Will let ya know then.

single income
actually in sing where standard of living so high veri difficult to depend on one income... before i join my current company, i took a 3 mths break... so during that time, we survive on my hubby's pay only... i can only say that a lot of sacrifices to make... no rest/no shopping....
but i really enjoyed myself with my gal....
i hope to look for another job after my ml... dun think will be a SAHM... like purple, will use my ML as a guideline to see whether i can survive at home with 2 kids or not....
blog
kitsune, i like yr blog... i wanted to start one for my kids but after a while... i'm lost
just i have to spend more time to read blogspot manual before starting....

Hi, Dorothy. Thanks, actually starting a blog really isn't difficult. I'm not into computers or technology. So, I thought it'll be tough too but in the end, it's just typing your thoughts and uploading photos. Quite easy to manage. Just try it, it can be work in progress, just don't share the blog address yet lor until you are ready to show it to other people. hee.
I think buying insurance for baby is important too. Another additional fixed expense though so not fair to impose on hubby alone.

Haha, I know what you mean, my hubby also the same lar, he only like to draw cartoons but don't like to write, scan and post pictures. I think he finds it boring. Also, men are less lor soh than women lar so less emotions/details to share.
The other day, I was nagging him that he not contributing to the BB online research, eg. surf web for bulk purchase or second hand items to save money, taking measurements for BB's room layout, reading other people experiences etc. Guess what he said. He said, "I do mah, I read our blog at work." Peng san man. I mean he should be writing it with me and not reading what I write at work right?
So, I said, what's the use of you reading my blog? Then he got hurt cos I called it MY blog and not our blog. Complained to our BB that he needs to start his own blog liao cos of what Mummy said. Don't know whether to laugh or be angry also. ;P
Wa, I really hope so. I'm getting anxious about the pain and delivery process liao. Will be great to meet someone I know there.
The other day, I was nagging him that he not contributing to the BB online research, eg. surf web for bulk purchase or second hand items to save money, taking measurements for BB's room layout, reading other people experiences etc. Guess what he said. He said, "I do mah, I read our blog at work." Peng san man. I mean he should be writing it with me and not reading what I write at work right?

Any mummies here experience cramps at the side of your tummy (naval button level)?
Been having this cramp everyday for 5-10mins each time and i need to lie down and rest so that the cramp will go off.
Rang up m midwife and she told me its the muscles thats stretching!
Anyone care to share?
