ellysia, tera,
that why i rather take bus instead of mrt..
ellysia,
your workplace at town area rite? why don you chk any bus nos can reach to ur workplace? its more safer and comfortable journey. but have to spend a bit more time...cos mrt is faster than buses..
 


liew,

Bus also crowded leh. Then v hard to stand on bus if no seat. And i find sometimes seat v squeezy, can't squeeze in.
 
liew,
You have a point there about buses. Ellysia, your place there got those private buses that goes to CBD area? Cos I know in Hougang, they have those private bus which brings ppl to Suntec area. The bus will just pick up ppl from a fixed point in Hougang and then go straight to CBD area. Just need to pay a fixed rate every mth.
 
tera,ellysia,
you are right. i think i saw before but i'm not sure where is the exact pick up point. i think their pick up point is near by S11 food court thr got one taxi station.

Happy Birthday!!

Yes, I will be letting my baby sleep with me cos my mum house no space to put cot liao. The container foam shape u mentioned is interesting. I've been cracking my mind how to safely let baby slp wif me so i won't hit him or what.

Any other experienced mum could share how to arrange for baby sleep with us on main bed?

Cactus,
same feeling here, alternating betw parents n parents in law house w/o our own house yet. Smtx very mah fan.

Belly Button: Ha.. after all the comparison, my case may prove all theory wrong.keke.... I'm skinny b4 pregnant, mine is a mickey and yet Belly button still in. Maybe still early to tell, nw 23.5 wks, later see if pop out.
 
I hate squeezing in crowded MRT as well. Tats why i purposely catch early MRT to work. But after work, normally cannot avoid crowded MRT especially at JE.

Then, just yesterday i met a rude young lady(about early 20s) at sembawang station aft my check up. I stand on the left side of the train door and she was on right side when the train arrive. When the door open, she quickly rush to the left side where there's only an empty seat, which in fact i'm aiming as well. And she just sit on it despite i'm walking toward tat seat as well.She pretend did not see me and trying to searched something in her bag. While oth commuters either started to 'dozed off' or see oth direction.
Tat young lady actually oledi saw me in preggie status when the train approached as we had been standing there for few mins b4 train arrived. I was quite fed up but since i'm goin to alight in another 2 stations so i just walk and stand near the MRT door.
 
ellysia,

Ur taxi fare plus ERP is $20+. For mine, oso around $20+ ($23-$24 during peak hr) but did not go thru any ERP. During my #1 pregnancy, i used to take taxi during my 3rd trimester as i cannot walk/ stand for too long. But tat time taxi fare was about $15-$16 from office to my home. I think by 3rd trimester, my salary will go to taxi uncle.
 
tinyfeet

Happy Birthday to you too!

Just back from checkup, baby is fine except still small size, and I've put on 8kg in total !!! OMG, I wonder how to shed off the extra kilos after delivery.

Tera, can help me update, baby is 598 grams at 24 weeks. Thank you.
 
Hi Mog,
No probs to update. Did gynae say small size? Your bb and mine only 8g difference leh (my scan was on wed and we have the same EDD) but my gynae said the size was ok so I think your bb also ok size.
happy.gif
 
Hi,

Any1 preparing to breastfeed your baby?
My frien told me must start preparing things from this trimster. Any idea which pump is good?
 
Modudog,

My frien say is normal to gain 12-15kg till due. You stil need to consider the waterbag.

I gain 8kg and now in week 22 only. Baby only 550gram.

gynae only say no need drink milk if I scare fat as he had already given me the tablet.
 
Tera, gynae did mention small size coz I gain 3kg this month so she expect to grow a bit bigger, guess the fats all come to me. So long healthy can liao lar, big or small size doesn't matter coz hb and I also quite small size.
 
Tera, my gyane said can ask baby to jump more when she can walk so that she can be taller, hehehe. Coz her legs are short !! Below average.
 
morning mummies =)

danryan,
MRT seats - people even fight for empty seat with me!!! Thought I already look very pregnant. Was standing in MRT. As usual no one gave up seat. One lady got off her stop. I was about to sit, then another lady quickly took the seat before me! Worse thing is the person next to her got off. Her bf took that seat!!! My whole face so black!

connie,
I also see Dr Adrian =) he used to take weight in 1st tri when I see him. But nowadays, he never take weight. Actually my previous gynae take weight already, also never comment anything about it. So I guess weight gain not so important?

Mogudog,
Don't know my bb big or small leh. My #1 was small also.... but both my hb and I big sized!! negative negative become positive???

Anyway, don't worry about it. BB small also good, can deliver more easily. They usually grow very quickly after they are borned with all the feeding. My #1 also only started to beef up a bit when he started on solids.

TODAY SAT STILL MUST COME BACK AND WORK..... SIANZZZZ!
 
Morning gers, me back to work on a Sat morning.. sad..

Had been feeling unwell since yday late morning. Giddyness.. On and off. Duno wat's wrong. Haiz..

Feifei,
I oso feel unwanted at times, but it is normally me who has no mood for sex.. Hehe. Actually, the hb is also very willing, just that they are trying to be considerate by not asking and DIY-ing. ;p Do try if you feel up to it but dun force and be prepared that it might feels abit weird, hehe. I oso wanted bb to sleep in cot, but not feasible to buy an additional cot to put in mum's place. During confinement, I will spend weekdays at mum's place and weekend back home.

bizznow,
BD = Baby Dancing = sex.. hehe

Ellysia,
5kg?? Goodness.. Then still need incubator? I tot so long 37 weeks considered as full term?

mrswrx, liew,
Ya, I think the belly button thing is an old wife's tale. My SIL was carrying a gal but in the last trimester, her belly button started protuding. My mum came and ask me whether ther's a chance that the doc makes a mistake. She wanted a grandson very much but pretended not to be the case. Faint.

TF,
Ya, I think I need something to protect the bb too if I placed her on the bed. My hb is pretty worried that I will squash her cos I flipped everywhere when asleep and all my pillows and soft toy will fly. Lol.

piyoz,
I am back at work too. My hb and I both big size, so I think my minnie will not be small size too. I always envy my petite friends.. Hopefully, my bb will be tall and slim and not tall and big size. -.o"
 
Morning ladies!

Zuen and Piyoz,
Hang in there!
happy.gif
Day/Half-Day should pass by soon.

Piyoz,
These ppl (don't give up seats on mrt) really ought to be shot hor??? Was just telling hubby last nite and he feel that SGP as a developed country is seriously lacking in social grace as compared to the ang moh countries.

Mog,
Oh I see.
happy.gif
Hey, girl small size also good and like what piyoz said, easy to deliver! I believe your girl will be v active and will jump alot when she's born so should be no prob gaining ht. Nowadays girls also v active, my 2 neices are a perfect example!! My parents always complain they v "chor lor", hehe.
 
hi ladies,

nearly half-day gone, those workin shld start to pack up real soon!!

i aso hope my minnie will be small size during birth. me n hb avg size but hb is quite tall n i tink im not short aso, so hopefully minnie can take hb height n be supermodel! hahaha. dream onli. but so far i hav not gain weight cos i lost 2kg during my first 4mths. now manage to increase back to pre-pregnancy wt. hopefully maintain it slowly while bb grow healthly inside. *fingers crossed*

like i said, ignore those ugly singaporeans who refuse to gif up seats n being rude when they bang into pregy women! dun be pissed off by those barbarian acts cos we needa maintian our happy thots for a happy bb!! cheer up ladies!! they wil hav their retribution!!!!!!! hahahaha
 
Hi gers,
Me still in the office. Hoping to go off at 1.30pm. Hb oso still working. Hopefully he can knock off at the same time and fetch me home, hehe.

mrswrx,
That's exactly wat I told my hb too. Hope that my minnie will be tall and slim, then can part time as model and earn extra bucks. If tall but big size like hb and me, then chiam liao.
 
Zu En,

According to my colleague, she said tat MTB has to go for c-sect earlier bec bb is too big, and bb is ored 5KG liao.

liew,

I just checked and i tink got SBS private bus going near my place to Shenton Way. Maybe i find a day to try out.

Felicia,

Ya very costly long term. Though my taxi fare paid by hb, i still feel its costly bec' his money is also my money heee.
 
Zu En,

Too tall for gal not so good lah. Like me, i can't wear high heels bec' i will look taller than most guys. I still remember last time in school, several guys told me they will woe me if only i am shorter than them.

However the newer generation of gals are getting taller. So i hope my little mickey can be taller than 175cm so that it be easier for him
happy.gif
 
Ladies,

I eaten mouldy meat pork floss just now!!!!!
I was having some porridge and pour out tat floss w/o realising some of it had become mouldy. I only found it taste funny but still continue eating till suddenly i felt someting is not right and look at the packet of floss.
I felt nauseous the moment i saw it and run to washroom and vomitted out everything. I still felt very 'er xin' now!
Hope i had vomitted out all the 'mouldy' floss , else not sure if it will affect the bb.
So, gals, better check ur food especially those food easily go bad.
 
Kelcqi,

C-sec at wk37 to lose weight faster? I nvr heard of it before. Normally gynae will advise c-sec to be done at around wk38.

Ellysia,
Just curious, how tall are you?

So far, gynae only said my bb is average size despite my hubby and myself consider big size ppl.
Btw, any of your bb had turn her/his head down? Mine still lying horizontally from the last DS and recent check up.
 
Felicia,

Yah, I read it in some magazines last time. They said usually the last trimester we gain weight the most, so alot of hollywood mothers, they'll have a C-sec to stop the weight gaining additional 2-3kg.
Some even did a tummy tuck along with the C-sec. Dunno if in Singapore context, it happens?

My baby head is down already according to the last visit, but not engaged yet. My gynea told me there is still room so there might be chances the head might move up again.

yo ladies,
i am back frm bangkok!! woohoo.. bought quite a number of clothings for my mickey.. bery bery cheap!! and pyjamas for myself too.. bery bery cheap!! oh my god.. kekeke..
 
HI Felicia,

My height is near to 170cm.

Btw gynae clinic called and inform the result of the lab test, i got some fungus infection. So need to go clinic to take medicine leh.
 
ellysia,

so late you hvnt sleep? I think by the time u post the message i'm oledi in my deep dreaming status.
170? wow, tats quite tall for a lady. But u know i always envy those lady with 165+cm, coz i'm just 160cm. And my hubby @ 183cm, so i always like a shortie standing beside him.

Ladies, me had went to the metro sale yest at expo. To me, seems nothing much to buy for bb stuff. But they had sale for bb highchair, strolley and walker. Oth stuffs was quite limited choices.
 
piyoz, Tera, true loh, agree that smaller babies easier to deliver, however all the extra kilos goes to me instead of her.

Ellysia, I envy your height, me oni 1.6m
 
Felicia, Mogudog,

Me also 1.6m only. But heng hubby not very tall, only 1.72m like that. So we go out like 2 shorties out together. Now pregnant even worse, short and fat.
 
yo yo.... I can join the 1.6 club. I'm also 1.6m =)

mog, extra kilos also came to me..... but no choice leh. Still must eat. Now no time to go on diet.... so just hope bb can absorb more.
 
Huh..1.6m also got club, me too here..keke.. Hubby 1.81
Piyoz, Mog - maybe the extra kilos is exclusively for Feb since CNY eat too much
 
Hi ladies...

Felciia,
alamak....really hv to check e fd we eat hor...heng u discouver early...

Babycupid,
Welcome back =D>..Bot alot of b things?

ZuEn,
Hehe....true lor...well, me not much mood also lor, my pelvic bone abit suan these days...Today did some hsework, then collaspe on the bed for a nap just now =)..Felt like an old lady..

All,
Anyone decided to continue to breastfeed when they start work? wonder if it will be a hassel cos there is no nursing room in my office..hmm..
 
Felicia,

I envy those gals who is shorter leh. Cos can always wear very high heel shoes hee.

Btw, I saw bottom spray selling at this shop Moms essential at suntec city. Are u the one asking abt bottom spray? U can see their website
http://www.starhealth.com.sg/Product.asp?Category=Earth%20Mama%20Angel%20Baby%20Series&Rnum=24215818

I went to suntec today and bot some clothes from Spring sale, then also bot a number of Pigeon stuff from Carrefour. Got Pigeon steriliser, original price around $118, got 20% discount.

Then me and hb went Robinsons and bot more bb clothes using my Robinsons Vouchers.
 
Kelcqi, Felicia and Mog,

My hb is only 172cm, so he is only a few cm taller than me. When i take wedding fotos inside indoor, i have to take off my shoes while hb wear his shoes. And thus i didn't wear high heels also.

Anyway i used to wear high heels in uni and guys always dun like gals to look down on them, so in the end i switch to platform shoes instead which are shorter.

I have gal frens who are taller at 175cm and they have headache finding bfs.

So i always tink 165cm is ideal for gals.
But tall got its advantages also, in big crowds i can catch things easier, less blockage lor :p
 
wah.. so many 1.6m mummies here.. i am 1.65m.. kekeke..

feifei,
yup.. bought quite a numbers of bb clothings.. kekeke.. bery cheap lor.. ard 3+ to 4bucks per pc.. those rompers, singlets, etc.. bb bibs is ard 1buck each
 
Kelcqi, piyoz, TinyFeet, hehehe, we can form 1 1.6m club in June mummies. My hb not so tall either, 1.68m for a guy consider small size, hence my gynae says my baby could be short due to genes.
 

160 club... hee hee .......

Mog, maybe that's why my #1 small frame. My hb also not very tall. Good also lah... then we look more like family.

RE: DIAPERS
I like Huggies Comfort. Cheap and can last for quite a few hours. I always buy at this Chinese Medical Hall, $4 cheaper than what NTUC is selling. Bad thing is they only carry L and XL.

feifei,
If no nursing room, then bf after starting work might be very troublesome. Does your office have a fridge for you to store your ebm? I did hear some friends say they pump in the toilets. But it's really warm and uncomfy, plus if planning to use electric pump, there would be a power plug. Must consider.
