- Start date
sometimes I miss the first train but the next one comes in 2 minutes or so, so it's okay. I think when I get on at Bishan it should be more crowded than you when you get on at AMK... maybe it would help if you skip a train if it's too crowded? then get on the next one? I've never had problems getting on a train if I wait for the next one. 50% of the time, I wait for the next one. I always get to hold the hand rail so I feel safer... most pple start getting off at TPY, and then Orchard.

hi ladies,
just checking with those who are seeing gynae at KKH. is it true that unless u are a private suit patient if not gynae(even Senior consultant) wont do ultrasound scan for u during ur visit and u will be send to a radiologist to do e scan n gynae only check from e report?? Whenever u visit e gynae if he/she never do e ultrasonic scan then wat did he/she check on u??

just to share, last time, scans are not used. just listen to heartbeat. even in US, scans are not necessary at every visit. only necessary to date the pregnancy and check for abnormality.. no need to scan every month. i nSingapore, we just take for granted that scans are done every visit. I'm one of them.. always looking forward to the scans.

cactus,
Some of my colleague only wear 1-2 pieces of maternity clothes. They keep wearing the same ones. But nowadays most colleagues will wear more pieces liao.
I agree with u on the point of the taxi.. even if hb sponsor me, his money is still mine also.. i feel the pinch for him so will try to avoid taking taxi unless unavoidable.

Kylene, career is one thing, but perhaps you can take that 1 year to focus on the bb? Bonding time is very precious... my 2 cents' worth.
Ellysia, must juggle between discomfort and spending $. If you truly feel unwell, better not put your safety and bb's safety at risk. take taxi is better. I was just sharing my thoughts cos except for 1st trimester, I dont feel unwell taking train yet... keeping fingers crossed....

U knock off at 5.30pm right.. usu 5.30 less crowd.. 6pm crowd is horrendous.. plus i need to walk a bit to MRT so by the time i reach is 6.15pm and the crowd is horrible. So i normally have to take train to marina bay and back. I was pushed by many people when i take train directly at Raffles place during tat peak hour.

Ellysia, Felicia,
I see so many differing and conflicting comments on ameda and medala pumps until my head getting bigger and bigger. Will Taka fair carry ameda pumps?
Feifei,
I oso target to bf for 1st 3 months niah, that's why willing to pay max for a ameda pump at $300+. If I still managed to express after that, it will be a bonus to me lor. However, somebody just reminded me that if no nursing room and have to express in toilet, no power socket wor. Faint.
Tinyfeet,
I bought a combi stroller from baby avenue on Thurs. I forgot to check if there's warranty card inside (warranty for 1 year) cos it was getting late and the box was all wrapped up. I think I must go home and see. The stroller is still in the box, happily sitting in one corner of my living room. ;p
Re: Cord blood bank
Any idea if stemcord or cordlife better? Wat are the charges like huh?

Hi gers,
Good morning.. I am back at office.. another dreadful half a day.. so painful.. Today have to do housework, need to vacuum and mop the floor, even more painful.
Tinyfeet,
I went home and opened the stroller and realised that the warranty card is not inside wor. Have to call baby avenue le. -.o" Stupid me for not checking on the spot.
cactus,
That is wat happen to my SIL too. She doesnt earn alot and my bro can well support the family. In the end, he rather that she be a SAHM, cos she ended up spending more than wat she earns when she works. Can save on nanny/ maid too.
ellysia,
I oso try to refrain from spending on maternity clothes, cos I aim to fit back into my pre-preggy clothes after delivery (crossing my fingers and toes). However, not good if keep wearing the same thing, people might talk. I realise those most MTBs who glow during pregency are normally those who spend more on maternity clothes and take the effort to dress up. I think I look ungroomed, but I will tahan, 4 more months niah, hehe.

ZuEn,
I'm thinking to get Ameda oso.(due to budget) For Medela unless i can get special deal for PIS pump else i wont buy oth model coz had been hearing bad comments. But i'll wait till delivered 1st and see if i'm really able to BF. I'll try to BF even aft start work as my company had nursing room.
As for expressed w/o power socket, i think Ameda pump can be battery operated as well. PIS, i'm not too sure.
Btw, mumsfairy whom had carry Ameda will had booth at BB festival fair @expo.
Cord blood bank : i think not much diff between 2 company as i heard the rate is based on gynae as well. Yearly is $250 (w/o gst). 2 yrs back, i paid $1300+ upon registration coz my gynae charge me few hundred bucks to for the services. But then when i recommend my friend, she only need to pay $700+ only as her gynae din charge xtra fee. So you'll need to get the quote from them.

feifei,
Ya, I hope to express after I start work, but too many unknowns. Duno if I have BM ss, duno where I can express, haiz.. Most probably will have to hide in toilet. Den again, time is an issue. If express, will need to disappear 2x a day at fixed timing. I bet the expressing schedule will be interrupted by meetings and stuff. Aiyo. So lor, thinking of getting a cheaper pump and hopefully can store up before end of maternity leave. Oh ya, FM very expensive wor. A tin can cost $50+ and can only last 2 ~ 3 weeks. I will buy the pump before delivery. I dun think I can run around that much after delivery even if I have BM. Rather use the $$ and take a risk. ;p
piyoz,
I oso shifting to a new building. I think my office will be in the new building by the time I am back from leave. However, there is still no nursing room. I am in a male dominated industry, so not family friendly de. I am just hoping for a big, clean, spacious toilet..
Felicia,
Ameda can be battery operated? I tot I have to end up buying another manual pump if I can sustain BM after coming back to work. Expo is tooo farrr away. I live in JW. I think I will try the mumsfairy.
I am wondering which bank is better. I am a procastinator. Havent even call and book the massage lady, so I tot I better start thinking about the cord blood bank earlier. Hehe.

I can refer you to Stemcord if you dont mind. They'll call you up and quote you their quotation. If you were refer to existing cust, u get some discount (cant remember how much, u can check w them when they call) Then if u sign up i can get some discount oso. hehe...
So, if u dont mind, PM me ur hp nbr, so i can ask them to call you. Of course, no obligation. You can compare the rate they give you with cordlife.

I saw in mumsfairy website saying the Ameda can be used anywhere as it "May be operated using any AC adaptor or 6AA batteries ". But had to stock up AA batteries in office!

Hi,
Sorry to interrupt...
I'm looking to sell an almost brand new of the above-mentioned.
The motor was used only for five times. The rest of the pump like the body parts, silicon parts, etc. are untouched and still in original packaging.
Bought it last Sunday, 24th Feb, from Mothercare, as a last resort, because my existing pump's motor was faulty. Got it replaced FOC subsequently, so selling the new one.
Looking to let go at $700.
Please email me at [email protected] if interested.

Mogudog,
what happen to you? How come got stomach flu?Stomach flu can be quite serious if dont treat well. Better rest an,
d take care.
ZuEn,
Yesterday i went to Mum & Babes at United Square. They still had promo package @ $688 for Medela PIS. The sales girl told me it can used with battery, but each pump need 5 batteries. If not mistaken, their normal price w/o promo is at $730+.

Nope. I din buy, just go to do survey. hehe... coz i'll be goin to the bb fair at expo and take a look at Ameda pump 1st. Anyhow, the medela promo only about $50 diff. Then i had to bear the warranty if buy now, so not worth. Anyhow, will buy only aft delivery unless got very very special promo lah. If cannot BF, waste $$.

Ya the weekend flew by. I had to vacuum and mop the floor on Sun. I started from 8am and only finished by 2pm. Watched TV and even took a nap in btw. Haha.
The chest that you bought is already put together? We saw this pink 3 tier drawer at $149. I was very tempted, even when Ikea's staff dun last long. But I was put off by the tot that we have to assemble on our own.
felicia,
Medela PIS is out of my range. I dun think I can continue to express after I return to work. I am probably looking at Ameda. Oh ya, I saw Avent ISIS (Single) Electrical pump at Metro yday. Metro is having sales but no discount for the Avent pump. It is selling at $375 with 2-years warranty wor. Any idea how is Avent ISIS?
They are selling Medala at 15% discount.
