cactus,
then that's very convenient for you =)
Maternity pads and disposable panties, hospital will provide one set first. If not enough, then we use our own.
I finished 2 packets of Kotex pads within my 3 day stay. so opened up my own mat. pad after that.
RE: Maternity pad
Hospital only provide the tie string kind. So good to get those stick on kind. I like the Madam Pureen maternity pad. Very thick.... like super big loaf of bread, but very good cushioning for the bottom.

cactus,
After water bag burst, go home to fetch?
Like my case, got no car and no place to store also. Have to put at home le.
maternity pads i understand hospital got give but my colleague say the quality they give not so good so buy outside one better.
Why need extra pillows? Tot hospital usu give 1-2 and more pillows one. U need laptop during labour?
If i am not wrong, i read somewhere cannot take fotos during labour but can take after labour.
I understand that 1st one, after water bag burst can still be v long to give birth one. Many hours. So no hurry on the bag wat. Ask hb to fetch and back, maybe just 1-2 hrs at most.
But i do agree need socks at least, bec' change into hospital gown will go barefeet.

OIC.. cactus.
Anyway i tink for me, i just put bag at home.
If everything smooth, i be at home and my mum agree to come over to stay so she can take of me during the day. If waterbag burst, mum will fetch cab for me, then we inform hb to rush down.
If emergency then i set off from office then ask hb to fetch bag from home to join me at hospital ba.

cactus : good on you to plan ahead ! i'm also a planner
even a short weekend trip, i'd put everything down in an excel sheet and strike it out when i've packed it !! keekeee
am not sure if you are keen to bring your bpumps to the hospital ? I didn't for my first, and she was really sleepy on the first and second day so i had to borrow a pump from the hospital to pump - and dunno if it's just me being particular, but the parts were sterilised in a mixture from the sterilising tablets which smelt real bad !!! but no choice - cuz my bpump was still sitting at home - unopened !!!
Mor : my hubby very blur too la, for the first one, brought camera but didnt charge the battery !!! hrmp - was so angry with him - cuz i didnt get to view the birth
best to have your hospital bag in your car or at home - in my case, it was at home and i was re-packing and packing just before leaving for the hospital !!! heehe nesting instinct ?!
i also brought along a cute little stuffed toy - to put in that trolley bed thingy which they place our newborns in. cuz it's quite hard to identify her in the nursery - esp when visitors wanna go look at the nursery window - you can just say "oh, my baby is the one with the <barney toy."

I bought small and large one.
Small organiser - for normal working bag (currently using now)
Large organiser - intend to use it in diaper bag as diaper bag that i bought doesn't come with many pockets..
Like i said earlier, its very useful.. Now my working bag is so much neater and i won't be like crazy woman frantically searching for things inside my bag, e.g. thumb drive (so small), hp, coin pouch, keys, hair clips...

Mog,
Try drinking something sweet and then sit down or lie down and see if bb moves. Can understand your worry but it's likley that bb is drowsy from the medicine. If tomr morning still dun feel much, then give your gynae a call to see if you can schedule a visit for peace of mind.

Happy new year too.. Still have to tahan until 3pm then do the mad rush from IL's place to my mum's plc for reunion dinner. Yday night, I was still preparing the ang baos. Duno got unplanned kids appearing or not, haha.
Re: Headache
I had been suffering from headache recently. Normally only one side (left). Bearable but super irritating. Woke up wit a darn heachache this morning. Think it will plague me the whole day. I read that headache is one of the preggy side effects, is anybody else suffering the same fate?
Re: Medala electric single pump
Any comments?

Mog,
If u sit or lie still, bb tend to move more. Drink sweet water then lie down/sit down awhile and see how.
feifei,
I understand that the medele mini electric pump doesn't last long. seems to spoil easily.
It is their PIS model that is the recommended and good one.
Zu En,
Ya tink headache is pregnancy problems le.
I had it sometimes on and off also.

Happy CNY!
Re breast pumps, the most recommended ones are Avent and Medela. Avent manual is good. For electric pumps, Avent IQ isis (single) and duo or Medela PIS are the better ones. I used to use the avent isis.. quite good and it comes with manual parts. so convertible between electric/ manual. later, as i continued to BF, i changed to duo.
duo pumps are good coz when we pump on one side, the other side wil leak. when i was using single pump, i put the avent breastmilk collector shell at the other side to 'collect' the leaking BM. alternatively can also use breastpads to absorb.
the downside of duo pump are that u have more parts to wash and it's heavy, esp if u intend to bring to officeto use after ML. i brought it with me everyday to work + working bag... super heavy and 'unglam' lor not forgetting you still need to bring empty bottles to store your EBM and ice cubes to keep them chill.
ZuEn,
I dun have headache.. but i heard it's common.. esp if you also experience sleeping difficulties.. do take care
rest more during the CNY hol.
ellysia,
hospital does not provide pump. u can bring it if you wanna try to pump. but usu for the 1st 2-3 days, only have colostrum, so if your hospital stay is short, maybe dun have to bring breast pump. up to your personal preference
i actually only started pumping after 2 mths.. jus before i went back to work. before that, was direct latch on.
