Tracy, what is the market rate for a CL? I came across this thread they were saying paying 1600 for a mth, I thought I was being overcharged. You have any idea how much we need to pay her for the arrival ang pow, and departure ang pow?
Actually I also dunno what's the role of a CL? She also never mention she'll do housework for me. Cos as I'll be staying at my mum's place for confinement, the CL will also stay there. She only mention she'll do the washing for me and baby's clothes, and the cooking only.
Ask you all ladies something, anyone of you buy from Ebay for baby's stuff? I'm thinking of getting the Avent breastpump off Ebay, but dunno in Singapore, will cover the warranty and dunno if the plug will fit. Any advise anyone?
Even the VIA cups all these I did the calculations, seems cheaper since now USD convertion drop. But only worry about quality.

Hi Kelcqi,
I bot Avent ISIS manual pump in Dec, checked the warranty card they are made in UK, it comes with Avent bottles & teats as well. All bottles regarless of size can fit with the pump without adptors. Also read from their brochure all their bottles/VIA cups are standard cap so i think regardless of country they have same standard caps. Not sure as for the warranty if buy from e-bay.
Heard from my colleage that if buy during sales (Taka or Robinson) got around 15% - 20% discount off retail price.

gd morning girls,
I finally got all my stuff back from my niece. And my hubby FOUND another box that my niece pass us and now we actually have ALOT of baby clothes (including the new ones) *faint
Only left baby tub and baby tummy wrap left to purchase. Also the washing of things. Sunday clear my whole bedroom...now less things. Thinking should I buy a humanizer (can't spell) to make the room smell fresh fresh. =)

Hi,
Yeah, i have bought most of the stuffs already, i think i am very kiasu, cos i am worried i might give birth early. I am preparing to washed all baby clothes by this week, hopefully my son's room can be ready by this week. And must packed my maternity bag too, and i am only 31 weeks preg! very Kiasu hor!!
Don't know why, have a strong feeling that i will have a early birth, it is true that for second one, will be earlier? My first one i was 2 wseeks early.

Kelcqi,
$1600 for CL now is quite cheap liao. I think the market rate is $1800 - $2000 for malaysian ones cos all those i called quoted this rate.
This CL of mine is recommended by my fren who did the confinement for her a couple of mths back. I made sure she is pro breastfeeding. I also mentioned to her that I ve a part-time cleaner coming on wknds, but she said she will do housework as well, like mopping the floor.
She will wash mine and baby's clothes (i'll probably allow her to use washing machine, jus dun let MIL know), do the marketing for food as well and of cos look after baby. She will also cook herbs for me and according to my fren, this CL very good at cooking herbs.
Muzicgal,
I'm planning to go taka baby fair on 20th March before my gynae's appt in the afternoon.
Smurferoos,
Hmm, if your first one was 2wks early, this one could also be early.
For me, my first one was like never going to come out, so we induce her 4 days before due date. For this one, we will probably wait till he makes his own exit. But when my mum had my sis and I, both also had to induce cos both dun wanna come out. So unlike yours, my fear is this one also get too comfy in the womb and dun wanna come out.
I can't induce cos the first one was c-sect so inducing will increase risk of wound rupture. So it's either straight to c-sect or keep fingers crossed that baby will make his own effort to come out!

felval,
i'm taking my maternity leave from the day i admit to hospital to give birth. decided to 'maximize' my leave. The last time, i took 1 week in advance before EDD and kind of wasted time at home.
I know most first-time mums will be kan cheong and wanna be at home and ready when it happens. But based on experience I heard so far, most labour happens at night esp for first baby. Anyway, if your contractions start when you in office, you will have time to make your way to hospital. Won't be like movies so fast screaming in pain and rushing to hospital.
Just sharing my experience, cos I think good to maximize your maternity leave.

choc,
ya, induce high chance c-sect. Try not to induce if you can...cos induce is VERY pain!! The contraction come straight and to the peak so tendency will request for epidural.
My fren had natural without inducing, she always wonder why i cannot tahan the contractions. I told her, your natural contraction will slowly climb up to peak while induce, is immediately hit the highest!
BUT of course got many others still manage natural with induction lah.

ant1712,
I wanted to take MC. But realise that I can't cos I got to collect office zoo card on that day. Haiz.
Tracy,
Not true. Some people actually dun have enough time to rush to hospital. So for those who feel they need to take a rest earlier do so.
piggy_mummy,
Yah..thinking of getting a humidifier, don't know whether it's good to buy or not.

girls,
Any recommendation of prams costing less than $100?
I got 1 but it's abit heavy (old - but good quality). Thought of getting another one that's lighter and smaller.
