Morning ladies! Is another Monday!

ellysia,

For me, I'm opposite from you when taking the wedding photos shoot. I had to stand on 2 stacks of yellow pages. And my hubby keep laughing at me for being shortie. Ya, i like the ideal of 165cm oso. You can 'donate' ur 5cm to me, then both of us will be ideal 165cm. haha.....

Diapers : Quality wise, i prefer mamy poko and pampers. Cost wise, prefer dryper.
 


Morning ladies...
Its mon again..so sleepy..

babycupid,
cheap cheap lor...=D..

Mogudog,
Me also 1.61cm lor..

piyoz,
True lor..hiaz... We hv a fridge here for those cold drinks for guests etc lor..so i also duno leh...Huggies Comfort is it purple color packaging?
 
Morning gers,
Monday again.. I am starting my 24th week today. Cant help but feel excited. Hehe.

Ellysia,
I am 1.64m and my hb is 1.85m. His family are all very big-size, so I dun expect to have a petite minnie.. As such, it is better to hope for a tall and slim minnie than a tall and big-size one mah. Hehe.

Feifei,
Dun worry. Things will get better after delivery. I have also been lazy, didnt do any housework over the weekend. Basically lazing around, watching lots of TV. I think it is time to look for PT cleaners. I havent call up my massage lady too.. Hahaha.. I really tink that pregnancy has given me an excuse to be lazy.

Re: Diapers
I heard from a freind that we need not buy newborn size diapers. S size should serve us well too (unless bb super small size). Cos newborn diapers tend to be much more exp than S size. I havnt done my research though.

piyoz,
Oh ya, I forgot that if it is electrical pump, have to express with electricity. Now I have a bigger headache.. Electrical or manual.. Haiz..
 
Feifei,
I think it is quite weird for you to store your milk in the fridge for guest.. Imagine if the guests were to help themselves to the drinks in the fridge, hehe.
 
feifei,

huggies comfort is blue and red packaging. Actually no rush to buy diapers. Hospitals usually give a goodie bag. Can get many samples for NB diapers.
 
zuen,
ya, I bought S size straight away for my #1 too. Don't intend to get NB diapers. Cos will be using cloth diapers at home.
 
ZuEn,
hihi...hehe..tink ever since i got preggi, really become abit more lazy leh..hehe..soemtimes aft meal dun feel like moving at all..haha..

True lor, newborn sizes are more expensive...Cos hospital will be giving us the leftover of a pack, so mayb I will buy 1 pkt of NB and 1 pack of S zize to standby...

haha, ya lor, then they tot its milk...*ops, abit er xin*...hehe... so fast lor, next wk my 7th mth liao =D..
 
feifei,

I also delivering at TMC =) They will give the leftover Pampers? That's good.

My #1 at Mt E, bb was using Pampers during his stay in the hospital. But when we were discharged, they never give us the left over pampers leh. Only got the left over J&J wet wipes.
 
piyoz,
Yup...cos my fren gave birth afew mths ago, she took back abt half a pack of Pampers Newborn diapers =D...

hmm...Tink they will give us e milk powder also hor?
 
feifei,
I think hosp will give us some milk in small bottle type. Last time, gleneagles give me about 4-5bottles. I heard my friend in TMC oso got it in liquid type not powder.
 
ladies,
dont buy too many NB or S size. One packs each will do. Coz u nvr know if ur bb will outgrown very fast. Last time i had to give away my NB and size S to my relative coz just within 2-3 mths, my girl oledi upgrade to size M. Anyhow, diapers are sold everywhere, so quite convenient to get it.
As for the hospital goodie bag, normally they'll give u 2pcs of NB plus 1pcs size S, M or bigger size each.
 
Talking abt height, im only 1.57.. cannot even hit 1.6m haiz... hubby also short.. only 1.69.. tink our baby might not be very tall but hope for the best :p

Tink Spring sale is ending today.. I went yesterday, alot of good buys, nursing bras and tops at $12 each only and those nice comfy maternity tshirts at $12 only.. nice dresses at $29 adn tops at $19.. all very worth it.. I had to control myself :p
 
roxy,

ya the sale is good. I also have to control myself cos ored collected quite a number of maternity clothes and i dun want to spend any more liao.
 
<font color="ff0000">morning ladies..

wow all talking abt diapers now arh.. for me i guess i will follow suit my #1 style in case, my #1 has very senstive skin therefore we only can use pampers or mamy poko on her
sad.gif
if not wil lead to diaper rash..

roxy*

hmmmm spring sale real good buy? stil contemplating if i shld go and see see look look or not during lunch time leh....</font>
 
hi all...
good morning... been out of action from here for a week cos so much happening at work, and was on course too.

speaking abt spring, i went down last week. and yes... they are having sale and alot of clothes were selling cheap.
happy.gif
but alot of items were either not in the color or size i wan... so i ended up buying a sleeveless tee at $12 which was very comfy for homewear. i had 15% discount card on hand too, so bought a few regular priced items... 3 tops and a pair of shorts.

as for diapers, yeah... no point buying NB size. for me, i will prob stick to using Huggies Dry Comfort for day and mamy poko for night. thanksfuli my elder boy is now almost toilet trained so we dun need to buy 2 shares of diapers! :p imagine the costs...
 
MORNING Mumz...

<font color="0000ff">hi ladies

I am from Apr08 thread. I had bought extra pack of cloth diaper set (10s) - Annuka brand. It's quite soft.

Original Selling Price : $19.90
Selling at $15.00 now.

If you are thinking of using cloth diapers and had yet to buy any, please consider my offer.

Please email to me at [email protected].

Thanks.</font>
 
soyabean,
anywhere has sales for diapers now? Tink its really time to stock up lor =D...Wonder if there is any sales of diapers at next mth's bb fair..hmm..

Icegal,
Congrats...so is ur bb Minnie or Mickey?

Felicia,
Good idea lor..will stock up 1 or 2 packs of NB and S szie..cos NB and S size not much difference hor? but is there any diapers with a U-shped so that won't hurt bb's cord?hmm...
 
feifei,
Ya, imagine your guest drinking the wrong milk. Oops.. I have a fridge in the office too. Must warn my colleagues, hehe.
I am oso lazier now, prefer to laze around on my sofa on weekends and after work. Sometimes, I feel lazy to even go out.

Felicia,
That's wat I am intending to do too. Buy small packs of different brand to try, then keep the packaging and ask hb to buy for replenishment. Just in case my ger got golden butt and must take certain brands. ;p However, cheaper if buy in bulk.

mrswrx,
I saw that advertisement on the newspaper too. I was just wondering when is that sales ending. Looks like I should drag my hb to take a look.
happy.gif
 
feifei...
not sure which stores are having offers on diapers leh... :p cos now one pack of diapers can last me for near 2 mths. but i usu check out Sheng Shiong. i did see them having offer on Huggies Dry Comfort (red and blue packaging) abt 2 weeks ago... $13plus for one pack oni... normal price is 16plus.

another place to get cheaper diapers is JB actuali. :p we usu buy a few packs back when we go in.
 
zuen...
speaking of fridge... the pantry fridge at my office is full of all sorts of stuff... frankly, i find it quite yucky if i have to put my BM in there. last yr, i managed to get a little mini fridge (can put a few cans of drinks) free when i bgt biotherm products. my colleague is using that to keep her bottles of BM now. it'll be returned to me after i give birth... :p i intend to put at my cubicle.
 
Any mummies, experiencing difficulties/ pain (on the pelvic bone) when walking? I’ve had it since week 14 but the discomfort has become more intense lately. Is this normal? I’ve only in my 23rd week, still got so many more weeks to go. Wondering how I’m gonna pull through…. haiz…..
 
u gals sure u will be using cloth diapers? =p jus asking cos from my experience for my boy... we bgt a couple of dozens and few packs of nappy liners... in the end, ALL never use! cos we were using disposables from the start and felt it was too troublesome to wash the nappies...
 
ZuEn,
ya lor..hehe..

soyabean,
tks for e infor..tink can check out Sheng Siong =D...As for jb, unless driving lor, if not also bery difficult hor..hmm..Then mamy poko brand not bad lor =D...But hor, MAmy poko has a few types leh, one is e purple color packaging wor..

All,
Anyone can give me their Spring Receipts?
 
feifei...
i dun mind giving u the receipts but cos mine had 15% discount given, so not sure if the receipts can be used.
as for diapers... hehe... NTUC always publish their weekly offers on Thurdays, Sheng Shiong on Fridays (i think), so u can keep a lookout in the papers and buy when the brand u wan is on offer.
happy.gif
Shop n Save oso publish on Thurs.
 
hi soyabean, I think I'm going to try out nappies during the day time. night time will still use disposables. Cos we'll be having a maid and my dad look after our bb, so plan to let the maid do the washing. We heard nappies are cheaper, and help to toilet train more easily. My mom said if clean nappy cloth not used eventually, we can use them to pick up spills, use as bibs (although we already bought them!!), swaddle a very small bb or use them as a blanket for bb during the day (bb won't suffocate cos there are holes to breathe through). night time, we can use flannel.
 
Soyabean,
Your office allows you to keep a separate fridge? Fridge tends to consume alot of electricity wor. I think I will have to use the common fridge in my dept and I do agree that there are alot of junk inside.
I never check out those supermarket advertisement de. I think have to start the habit liao. :p
 
New Mama Bottom Spray

Hi Ladies,

I'm from the Feb 2008 MTBs thread.

I bought this New Mama Bottom Spray before my delivery, as it was highly reccommended by some mummies that it eases the episiotomy wound and helps to heal faster. However, I totally forgotten about it after I got discharged and didn't use it at all.

I bought it at $43.45, and selling it at $38 now. Anyone interested please email me at [email protected]

ladies,
pls be reminded besides dont buying too many diapers now, u oso need to know the size of diaper differ between the brand oso. I know for mamy poko, the size will be bigger than oth brand.
And btw, normally u can get some diapers sample at BB fair which is on next month.
Cloth diaper is another alternative if ur bb get diaper rashes. My #1 had golden butt so ended up use more cloth diaper so that can heal faster. So, you'll need to get rashes cream as well just in case.

I normally brought diapers at Malaysia coz it'll be much cheaper.

hi all..

i am 1.66m n my hubby is 1.78m tall..so i hope my mickey will be @ least 1.75m tall then best liao..hehe..

hi zuen,
ic.. bd = baby dancing..hehe..

re:not giving up seats to pregnant women
sporean super ugly 1..it's so normal for them not to give us seats lor.. my colleague taught me a trick that her fren told her.. when her fren was pregnant dat time.. she would get up the train n if nobody give up their seats, she would take out her hp n call either her hb or anyone then purposely speak loud loud saying "yah lor..on train now..so crowded..no seats..i feel so tired..nobody wanna give me seats leh.." and it always works..after a while ppl get paisay then stand up n let her have the seat..hehe..probably we shld try also..
happy.gif
 
morraine.. yes the sale is very worth it.. i bought 2 dress, 1 top and 1 going out shorts.. all only $99... very tempted to buy more, but got many clothes already, somemore thot only 3 more mths, dun waste so much $.. heard today is last day of sale, u better go down today...


mrswrx, got 20% sale on strollers ah? I very tempted to return the stroller I bought at JL, it's Capella brand... but heard Combi brand much lighter.. very tempted to go and buy Combi instead...

Snow.. so far no pain on pelvic area for me, but a few of my colleagues had it from 4th month onwards and they suffered all the way till delivery coz it was their pelvic bones expanding, hence the discomfort

star, the sale is at Spring at Suntec atrium... normal outlets dun have...

feifei, no prob to give you my receipt, but i go search for it tonite first, my hubby might have thrown it away coz I saw him taking away the Spring plastic bag yesterday.. let u know tomorrow
happy.gif
 
Peng, I called Baby Avenue and the Combi Miracle Turn im interested in is selling at $629!!!! The similiar function that I got for Capella where all 4 wheels can turn 360 degree only cost me $200.. and Baby Avenue is only having 10% discount on Combi, tink I stick to my Capella :p
 
maternity clothing:
nowadays i dont dare to go in clothing shop tats on sale coz i had over brought my cloths. Temptation too hard to resist! So the only way is avoid all this outlets.
 
Hey Roxy, I think stick to your Capella. I think most Capellas better than most Combis cos there is a common complaint that Combi is too light, cannot absorb shock well esp when stroller is travelling over uneven surface. a mother shared on this forum that she saw a Combi stroller fall backwards with the child in it cos it was too light and she hung her shopping on the handle!
 
Hi Felicia, Yeah!! I'm just like you. find it hard to resist temptation so now just avoid even when there are sales. I only have about 10 pieces of truly maternity tops, 1 maternity dress, 4 maternity long pants, and 4 maternity short pants. I have another 10 or so pieces of loose tops with front flares or a pattern which I can comfortably wear up to 6 months so don't plan to buy. Once in a while, I have temptation to buy, then I tell myself, better save up $ for bb. maternity clothes honestly only use for about 6 months during 2nd and 3rd trimesters (except for maternity pants - no choice must use earlier or else uncomfortable to button up normal pants)... each piece of maternity clothing average $40 if not on sale. 30 pieces or so easily $1.2k liao!! enough is enough.
 
Ritzy,

I bot some bb clothes from fox during their sales.

star,

The sale on Spring is at Suntec outside their shop, top floor.
 
hi Roxy,

I tink capella is better also, heard more good comments on that brand.

cactus,

Agree with u tat saving for bb clothes is more practical than spending on maternity clothes.

Toking abt cost, i tink i have spent a lot of maternity clothes, esp i bot 5-8 maternity bras which cost a lot in total. So my spending on maternty is definitely more than $1K by now.
 


hi Ellysia, you just reminded me of my innerwear!! I bought 5 nursing bras which I'm using as maternity bras now. And also bought maternity underwear. no choice lah. expanding already. One thing about maternity underwear - I was told it's better to buy the type that will cut across our tummy than under like some pants - cos those may not be suitable if we have to go for c-section.
