Ellysia,
Alternatively u can choose to wear 'sarong' when discharge if you dont mind.
Most of my maternity wear oso pants, but i had a long skirt which i wore during pre-preggie and still wearing when i'm about 3-4mths preggie, so shld be able to fit in.

danryan,
u hv more experience since its your 3rd now, and your #2 is not too long ago right?mine was 8yrs ago, totally no impression, i asked hb if my tummy was bigger the last time, and asked him what was he doing in the labour ward the last time while waiting for me to dilate, he cannot rber at all
Ellysia,
I bought my maternity wear from this shop at toa payoh, they are quite cheap as compared to those shops in shopping malls, and got some also during my trip to thailand last december, at the chatuchak wholesale market, only $6-$8 sgd for the tops, so i got about 6 i think, and bottoms also ard that price, yes, new ones can sell on internet, saw many ppl doing that

cactus,
yes, i saw that last nite and my eyes almost popped out! was telling my hubby abt it.
the amazing part was she actually took her driving test while having her contractions and passed her test!!
feifei,
thanks girl, will get over it.
i guess u have already gotten most of your stuff. can i check for nursing bras where did you get from? i just realised the ones perfect mum sold me all have underwire which is not recommended.
also, for the antenatal class, for the lesson on taking care of bb, just curious, will we have hands-on or just watch the nurse demo??

feifei,
the shop i got maternity clothes is in toa payoh, near the library, the stretch if you are at the library delifrance, cannot remember the shop name, they also have an outlet in AMK, on the way from This Fashion to the newly renovated hawker centre, their tops are from $19.90 to $22.90, dresses are around $33 and pants i think $29.90, some of the tops can be used as nursing tops, someone recommended punngol pz for $5.90 nursing bras the last time, for nursing wear, can try www.iwantmilks.com, they are having some web specials, i recently got some from them

feifei, I dun know if there are tubes poking into her... but the mother is quite optimistic about things. she's taking things in her stride. Very brave mom! I think no need to be in ICU for 2 months. as long as organs are almost fully functional and over 2kg in weight, should be okay to return to normal nursery.
Ellysia, I think there are 2 types of bags you may want to consider packing.
(1) Your labour bag
(2) Your and baby's discharge bag.
I think for (2), that can be later, cos your mom/MIL/hb can go home to finish packing for you. But for (1), it's best that you pack completely yourself cos they would contain your personal items like items which you need during labour and soon after labour.

tera,
thats indeed very scary, leave immediately, last time i got a church mate, she was asked to leave after she finished her maternity leave.
ellysia,
ya, those documents you need to bring, like marriage cert,IC, gynae's letter,admission letter, all those papers you need to bring to hospital

Fei Fei, me back from my breakfast and fruit shopping trip. Alot of tourists up and about in the shopping mall but too bad, not many shops are open yet. I think when I got the photos, I have already delivered, and if post, will post in our June Motherhood Yahoo which TF set up for us, hee, shy mah.
Felicia, after yesterday's massage, I also like semi-hooked on to massages liao. But I can't do pre-natal anymore as I already 32wks, you still can. I very greedy leh, booked 7days postnatal with my massage lady for confinement, the 15times rustic nirvana massages after confinement at their spa office, then still tell Auntie Su I will mostly contact her do a few ad-hoc postnatal or other normal massages. Hee, the session yesterday was so comfortable which I went out shopping with friend, I kept telling her I am on sleepy mood.
Feifei, for hospital bag, dun really need to bring a set of baby clothes lor, the most, prepare a small pair of mittens for your baby (coz the hospital ones like a bit big) and extra towel to wrap her up if you scare she may be cold. I last time packed a lot of clothes (mine, hb & bb) like as if going for 3days2nights chalet but only use less than half of what I brought. Now lesson learnt, so will not bring so much lor.

Ellysia,
Thanks! Sounds fun, keke! Wonder if it is one of those dolls which will emit "cries" when we accidentally submerge under water, hehe.
Cactus,
Tell me about it, I really salute her manz..Now u are reminding me of my own driving test some 12 years back. I rem my tester was a very fierce-looking man and when we got back to the driving centre, he told me "Your lane-changing just now was very dangerous (this stupid van refuse to let me into his lane to turn back into centre)...but pass!" I was delirious!!
Those were the days huh!

i wonder y is he always on the right, and he is like pushing himself on my right side of tummy, and the tummy looks weird, just that right side become so hard and pointed
ellysia,
yes they need original, but with photocopy, they can admit you as all the info are there, then ask hb to give them the original, that is just in case you need to be admitted and documents are not with you, unless you want to keep everything with you all the time

Ellysia,
I think if there are some items you cannot pack in yet (ie. baby's clothes), maybe you can just start packing then those items you cannot pack in, just jot them down on a sheet of paper, and put it on your bag. Let your hb pack in those for you if really no time to pack in or if your bb arrives earlier than expected.
as for whether hb should meet us in hospital asap, then return to get the bag, I think alot depends on your labour plan. If you plan to go to hospital at the last minute, then it's better than you/your hb get the bag first, then both of you go to hospital together. Or else, it may be bad if your hb's misses the birth of your child. Alternatively, if possible, the bag should be placed somehwere near the hospital you are delivering at, ie. if you stay near hospital, then at your home so you can make the detour, or else, you can bring the bag around with you (at your office if you plan to work till you deliver).

Felicia,
Yay! Shall await for your updates. Will use the weekend to re-charge, just that now seeing the empty cubicle next to me still makes rather sad. Good thing is I have bb and ML to look forward to.
Feifei,
Oh, can remove wires huh? Ok, then I also go take out the wires. But dunno difficult or not, maybe I'll get the cami bra that someone posted.

Just to add Ellysia, for 1st time moms, early labour takes a very long time. Sometimes up to 12 or even 18 hours. No joke. You'll have plenty of time to prepare to get to the hospital, unless you plan to go there last minute. Of course there will be the occassional 1st time mommy who would pop really quick from the 1st contraction to birth, but these are really the minority. in singapore, 1 hr is all it takes to get from place to place by car. dun think any mother takes less than 1 hr to pop.
