Hi all, had my detailed scan at 4.45pm on Wed. Baby is hyper active, he was facing down one moment then up another. Haha.. It's confirmed a baby boy. Hubby and I have already thought of a name for him and have started calling him that since last month. Haha.. *super kiasu* He's really grown so much over the last 4 weeks. *Amazing* Anyway, after the detailed scan, supposed to see my gynae at 5.25pm but in the end, saw him only at 8.15pm cos he went out for operation. *Just our luck* But great to know that baby is doing well. Hehe.. Also, he's so hyper active nowadays that I feel his kicks almost every other hour. And I woke up in the middle of the night cos of him moving around.
I was shocked to see my weight during my visit. I wonder if taking dinner just before weighing affects the weight? Anyway, gained almost 7kg for the past 20 weeks. Gosh. Then when see gynae, he said my urine got some sugars but maybe due to I just had dinner. I think maybe because I drank Bandung before seeing him. LOL..
This month on, I can start taking Bird Nest. So happy. But thinking whether should wait till 28 weeks cos Bird Nest very expensive.
For the stretching pain, I think I was too bloated and didn't clear bowel so got that sharp pain around the naval. After I cleared bowel, it will go off. So maybe I'll monitor it if it happens again.
Tracy, I went for Brazilian waxing for the first time last month after I was pregnant and the person said it's safe to do during pregnancy. I did it again last Sat. Will be doing it every 4 weeks since I feel it's quite alright and the process is only 20-25mins. I think cannot anyhow do massage, that's all.. Waxing only on the surface should be alright.

Cheri,
haha, I tink Brazilian waxing, you should be refering to Diana instead of Tracy. Anyway I also thinking of getting BW. Have been toying wif the idea for weeks cos it be cleaner and anyway when going for labour the nurse/midwife will shave off our pubic hair too. So better to do a neat, clean job then letting them shave off... haha...

oh ya.. it's Diana. Haha... So sorry. Hehe..
Thanks Jer for correcting. I did try shaving before I found out it's alright but really can't stand it cos when the hair grows out, it's pricking me and I got sensitive skin so will itch. BW is really much much better. I will continue doing it.

me counting down the days to my detailed scan, so lookingh forward to seeing my baby! finally today felt a definite kick from my baby, was resting my hands on my tummy watching tv, suddenly felt a kick on my hand! so amazing
i always thought baby's kick will hurt mummy cos always see other people like go 'ouch, my baby kicked me'. but mine was not painful leh, today felt the biggest kick, the previous days all like bubble only heehee..
me thinking of going to robinsons preview sale, but the thought of going to orchard on christmas day really puts me off! definitely going to the isetan private sale though, although i can only go in the evening
made a list of the household items to get, isetan has the most generous discounts for household items
any other mummies going shopping on those days too?

any mummies know where we can get maternity body pillows like these?

i bought a body pillow from aussino and it was more comfy than the normal bolster, but then i keep rolling onto my back and getting backache. tried to push aonother pillow behind me back to support and it was much better, but that doesn't stay in place throughout the night..

Lynn, my hubby got this Big V maternity pillow for me as a Christmas gift... I am already using it. So far so gd... but same thing hor... if u use it in front like bolster, there is no support for back. Unless u place it on the back then there is support. It is also useful during breastfeeding later.

HI all...
hope you all have a good xmas? so sad tmr have to go back to work liao!
anw monday i went to see the gynae... the good thing is tat the baby is alrite... but the thing tat made me shocked is tat my gynae doesn't have a package leh.... so i have to pay as per normal every visit... and the charges for normal vaginal delivery is $1500 and the charges go higher for C-sect!!! I was so shocked when i received the price listing from the nurse when i made the payment. because i clearly remembered i saw they had a package when i went for the first few visits... think they just recently changed the pricing...
so on the way back, i kept telling my little one tat he is a very expensive baby... i dunno leh. should i change a gynae now??? cos eveyr time i see her is abt 100 plus. from now til the delivery plus the delivery charges.. it will be at least a whopping $5k... sigh....

muzicgal, thanks for letting me know. now i know what to expect during my detailed scan. 2 more days, can't wait already!
yanling, glad to know your baby is fine, si it's not a high risk pregnancy at all right? just that your gynae does not have a package? if you don't mind changing gynae, your current one really charges a lot, $100+ for a normal visit is really high. but then my gynae's package is on the lower end, at $550 so my comparison might not be the most accurate. i think you can save a couple of thousands by switching to a cheaper gynae since yours is not high risk. the momey would be really useful when baby is born, there will be lots of expenses to take care of later..
how much can you claim from medisave if you stick to your current gynae?

mummies, where do you intend to let your baby sleep after he/she is born? we're thinking of doing up baby's room, but my mum said better put in our master bedroom or else she cry we cannot hear (we will all sleep with doors closed and air-con turned on), and it's easier to moniter her when she's sleeping in our room.
but then i was thinking: if like that means we will have no proper rest, plus if baby is napping in daytime or any other time other than our sleeping hours, we need to go in and out of our bedroom/bathroom etc, that will disturb her right? plus there isn't much room to put baby's cot in out room as well.
so we're stuck between putting baby in her own room and get a baby moniter (hiaz means spending money again), or put her in our cramped master bedroom and risk disturbing her as well as ourselves..

Hi Lynn,
For my elder daughter, she has been sleeping alone in her room since birth, just get a baby monitor, and trust me, you will hear every sound...crystal clear! it's worthwhile investment for a peaceful sleep at night.
For my son, I intend to put him in another room alone till he can sleep through the night, then i will transfer him to sleep together with my daughter (can save on aircon bills) hahaha...
When we went overseas, my daughter will share bed with us, and it's horrible cos my hubby and I will get 'kicked' frequently in the middle of the night, but then again, i know of alot of friends who co-sleep so it's a personal choice!

smurferoos, which baby moniter would you recommend? there's so many in the market we're quite lost as to what to buy..
hubby is more pro baby sleeping alone and getting a moniter, but i was worried the baby moniter would be lousy (lots of interference etc).. me also not keen on sleeping with baby when they've grown up. i think we need our peaceful sleep and privacy! but my mum was suggesting we put baby's cot in our room for the first 6 months, thereafter then transfer her to her own room. but then i thought if we let her sleep with us in the first place, then she wouldn't want to sleep alone already right?
jaspire, me quite pro getting the bum wear diapers. i was thinking of getting the pre-folds first to see if i can really deal with washing diapers cos hubby was quite skeptical i could do it (we both think baby poop is gross hahahaha). but then it will really result in great savings and, i hope, less diaper rash! are you getting the prefolds? my idea was to get prefolds and use them till the baby can fit the one-size bum diaper, so no need to get the petite and one-size. cos the website says the prefold can double up as inserts in the bum diapers as well as burp cloth..
