Jaspire, me too MS went off for abt a week, now have slight MS but not as bad as before. I'm 13+ weeks now, I thought MS should be going away?
Just asked my sis to buy me a peg perego pliko stroller from US (she's coming back next month) and it's so much cheaper there than in Singapore. Feel a bit kiasu for doing that though lol.
Rachel, I'm pretty sure there's some advice against drinking cold water, though I really dun care

i'm now 14 weeks and my MS is gone already. sometimes i don't even feel very "pregnant" cos the bloated feeling is no longer there. So for all MTBs who are still suffering from MS - have hope! it'll get better.
Is Peg Perego stroller much cheaper in US? Lynn -you are lucky to have a sis in US who is willing to bring back a stroller for you! it's quite heavy to carry! I went stroller shopping yesterday too. Some of the strollers have really small wheels! wonder if they are sturdy enough. Saw this article on the net, but can't read the result! (unless I pay for it)

Have any MTBs decided what to do to the cord blood? I am thinking of either keeping it for private use (and pay for it - not cheap!) or donate it to the public cord blood bank.

kab, my sis will be shipping it back together with her furniture and stuff, so she doesn't have to carry it. As it is she is already brining back my baby niece, her dog and 2 cats *faint*
Really look forward to seeing my niece in person
I was initially thinking of getting a light stroller like Combi, but then I think that the seat is narrow and small and being so super light it doesn't feel so "solid" to me. Wonder how can a toddler up to 20kg can fit comfortably in a small stroller, so ended up asking my sis to buy the full-sized stroller from Peg Perego. The stroller is abt S$300+ after conversion, and I saw it selling in Tangs abt $500+ after discount?
Next is get my sis to help me buy a infant-toddler convertible car seat. The big solid ones in Mothercare is like $500+? When I saw the price I almost fainted.

lynn, dun think can privately store and donate. Me and hubby decided against storing the cord blood. We feel its still new and that there is no guarantee in fact. There was a case where the couple did store but due to mis-handling etc, the cord blood cannot be used and there is nothing they can do. So to me its really a waste of money and cord blood can oni be used for certain illnesses oni. Most likely science and medicine wld then get more advance liao. But these are our thots oni lah, I think its fair that everybody have differing views.
Jaspire - I also agree that it's very expensive to store the cord blood privately, and there's really no guarantee that it will work in case a transplant is needed.
Lynn - I also don't know whether you can both donate and store privately. Will there be enough cord blood?
hm..I think I may end up donating the cord blood. maybe it can help some other people.

hi ladies,
I went to the Avent Joyful parenting session in the morning yesterday. It is a very informative and gd session! Mrs Wong is very experienced and humourous. She is able to make a baby stop crying immediately leh! Wow! The baby massage i learnt is oso gd. Am trying to post the video clip I took at my multiply if you gals are interested to learn.

I was just telling my hubby yesterday that my breasts feel so sore now, it hurts even when they're lightly touched. I understand that after delivery they're swell even more due to the milk right? Won't that be even more painful? Is breastfeeding really a very painful experience? Trying to prepare myself mentally now...

sgn, your pregnancy is smooth sailing? I had a very difficult 1st tri... in fact, nearly wanted to give up due to the excessive puking. Am glad its all behind me. But hor, just when I thot things are getting better, my forehead is getting more breakout. I nearly thot its getting better too but ended up now with more outbreaks.
However, I am hopeful baby is growing well and really looking forward to seeing baby this coming wed. Kekeke...

goodbabyb, ya... from morning till now stil got 3245min left. Gosh. Think i will terminate the loading of the video. Taking me ages. Give me your msn id, I can send it over to you tmr if i login after work. My ofc cannot access msn at all.
For the pump, not sure if there will be better sale. But think Robinson if have the 20% is quite gd liao cos on top of the 20% still got another 5% disc from the card itself mah. So can save more.
BTW, when are you due?

Hey all long time didn't chat here... The forum running a bit fast try to keep with the pace. Today topic interest me so come in and kpo abit 8)
I bf my boi for 18mths, no regret... Love the close feeling of bfing. Althought Bfing is stressful for me, not to mention it is painfulness but all I think of is output... I call myself a cow initially when I am trying to build up my supply. Cry a few time infront of my boy feeling guilty that I didn't give him enough BM, a bit silly when I think back.
I am using Ameda dual Pump, good if you use with the FLEXISHIELD AREOLA STIMULATOR at first I pump without it the job become very messy. As the accessory will grib it to our breast and the ss increases too.
I also heard that avent maunal pump is good for clearing breast. Another good brand is Madela(I think I spell correctly) more common in sgp.
BTW getting the ameda pump in US is cheaper too but need to change the power adaptor as US is using 115V.

hi goodbabyb
Actually I got my full set of pump in US + accessories and spare parts, so just pay the amt on the web with delivery charges. But my SIL get me a power adaptor in sgp she bought her set in SGP. See this http://www.ameda.com/products/accessories.aspx
Avent have something like it and it fix just nice on the ameda pump. My friend is using the ameda pump with the avent shield... So I think you can check both px and compare. I am not sure on mumsfairy's supershields. You have the website to let me take a look?
BTW don't too stress on BF at this moment, now I still got a bit of evening sickness hope it will gone soon and hope all of us can enjoy the 2nd tri soon 8)

twinky, goodbbb & peace, if i see you gals online tonite will try to send it to you gals.
However, I was told Mrs Wong does teach it in her Childbirth Education Course at TMC too. So hopefull Ant and myself will get to view it again. She is really very gd. I bought a book on Infant Massage as well from Borders and the methods taught is the same.

Hi,
Thank you all mummy for your information on all the different Diagnostic TEst. By the time i go and see my gyane, i will be 16 weeks plus preg, so definitely will do the triple test, but i think i will be very stressed during the detailed scan!!I will let you know the results!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
I am still having MS now, though i am already going 15 weeks, but slightly better than the 1st tri.. sigh...good luck everyone, i am sure it will pass soon!
For me i used Mendela Pumped in Style for my first child, and i feed her exclusively breast milk for 6 months, but all expressed out one, cos i feel very stressed when i bf directly cos don't know how much she is drinking! So i strongly recommend Mendela PIS, very strong and powerful! it can help maintain the amount even though i stop direct BF after 6 weeks. But must buy breast pad cos sometimes your milk will leaked! And also buy the storage bags to store away extra breastmilk, but don't buy this first, cos i have some friends who gave up after 3 weeks, so don't waste too much money.
I am getting my previous CL for 2 months! The other time when she left i also cried!! but i think i should be steadier for my second child.

smurferoos, tks for sharing! My sis will be passing me her manual Avent ISIS pump and my SIL her Avent ISIS Uno electric single pump. So i guess I will have to stick to using Avent. Will need to read up more on Avent and its products.
I was still thinking of buying the breast milk storage bags probably 1 pack of 25bags or 2 packs to standby as I will need to store esp when I start work. Read in the Jan 08 thread they recommend Lansinoh milk bag. I went to check it out and it looks gd. Anyone keen to do a bulk purchase to save on shipping charges? I can consolidate our orders...

just ordinary pao sheng, as different grade different price just ask the chinese hall man n get the ones u comfortable with.
just put the pao sheng n wolfberries in th glass boiler and put in a pot with water to 'tun'.
usu MIL will prepare both pao sheng and birdnest to take together.
i would take the birdnest 1st cos it's sweet n drink the pao sheng later at one short cos it's bitter! pao sheng is 'bu' n not heaty.

Hi,
I read in this mag that there is this maternity shop in Vivo that sells sweets to ease morning sickness and calm the nerves. Sorry i can't remember the name but i know it is on the first level. For me i use Mendela milk bags as i can express directly from the PIS Mendela Pump.
Other than Pao Sheng and bird nest, any other things to eat to 'bu' the baby?
