hi roxy,
the gynae educated me lar, so i jus come here to share share the info. glad to know tat u find it useful.
if u feel constant pain unlike the usual muscle cramps + now u LS, i would suggest u go by yur gynae for a vist or like cactus suggested, go GP. the thing is GP dun ve the bb fetal heart monitoring machine n if u unsure abt whether is cos u dun feel well or cos of bb, then better go gynae lar. yes, the cost will set u back by $150 but in my humble opinion, i would rather pay the $ and get a peace of mind. my incident set me back by close to $250 yd but to me it is $ well spend cos i feel more at ease tat bb is alrite.
do keep us updated on u n bb, okie. if reai cant reach yur gynae shd u reai wan to c him/her rather than GP, maybe can go to KK A&E? i understand they ve a basic machine there to check if bb is alrite or not.

roxy, crystal,
jus share my exp..
i had bad diarr when i was abt 18+wks. went GP on day 1 and day 3 mornin, then on day 3 evenin i had bad cramps n stomach pain til i shiver n havin cold sweats. i panicked, call my gynae n was told to go Mt A A&E to wait for him (clinic onli office hr) i reached ther abt 8pm n insisted to be seen by him instead of MO.
meanwhile i was given pain killer jap n rested in observation ward b4 he arrived. after checkin bb n my condition, i was told to be hospitalised for observation. e nite was rely bad for me, LS evry half hr til e nxt morning. i was given drip at 7am when gynae came to c me. in all, i stayed 4days 3nite b4 given e green light to discharge.
frm tis exp, i NEVER wana go GP liao.. cos GP dare not gif medication n do not hav our track record. its a nitemare... luckily bb is not affected by e incident. e nurses at Mt A was attentive n do checks on me every few hrs n report to gynae.

Sharon,
Isetan having baby fair on 13th Mar, for me, i'm more likely to go isetan first to get the bigger purchase so i can earn pts as i'm an isetan card holder. For taka baby fair, no further discount for card members. So u have to see for yourself, u can try compare everywhere if you're free, else, taka fair will be a one stop station where you can get everything u need for your baby

Feifei,
I am back in office, but gg to knock off soon. ;p
Ellysia,
Yup, I have amore membership. In fact, I fully paid for 1 year but havent start using yet. Hehe. I am quite glad that I bought that. I was hoping to try their beginner's yoga towards the end of my maternity leave cos that lesson always weird timing de. I think Yoga should be ok to start with bah.
Crystal,
Jia you, jia you..
There was a time that I couldnt feel my bb's movement for half a day too and I scare myself silly. My colleague experienced that once too cos she's very small size and her tummy no space for bb to move. Thus, I am grateful for my bb's every movement. I rather she kick and punch me and disturb me than not move.. Hehe. We are almost there..

HI all,
I am back from Robinsons and Taka.
I made a wasted trip to Robinsons hoping to get the Medela PIS. BUT the sales gal told me MEDELA PIS AND MEDELA SWING is NOT ENTITIED for the DISCOUNT. SO pls take note of this.
The medela PIS sold at taka cost $670+ after discount. Original price is $745.
In our opinion (me and hb), taka sale is not worth it. IN fact not many items have discount. In fact, there is a baby cot that we see in both taka sales and Robinsons. Robinsons one dun have discount but is yet cheaper than taka one. Thus dun be fool by the taka sales lor, do check out whether it is worth or not.
So upset, i have to walk to and fro so many trips tonight with high expectation on the pump, but in the end, i didn't get the pump.. sigh.

Hi gals, I am back from my makan and shopping.
Bizznow, I used Medela mini single pump b4. You have to do own massages on breasts for milk let down, then use the pump for best effect. Very noisy, and slow. I read book(s) during my machine pumping.
muffin, the $27+ bottle disk rack mrswrx is the price lionheart one. i think from the tv, its place on 4th shelf or something, i had forgot, sorry.
I checked about medela, the medela swing is not as good as PIS advance coz its slower in sucking power. PIS advance is still the best as the lady mentioned. I saw Ameda brand there, but booth is rather small and I didn't check on it coz it was a teenager boy tending to the booth, dun think he will know how to answer my qs.
I bought 1pkt pigeon disposable breast pads (36+6pcs)@ $8.00, medela storage bottles (3 in a pack) and the valve+membrances to replace my old one. Also a couple of newborn clothes for my gal.

Tinyfeet, my hb did not come and meet me, I met my bro for dinner then we took train home. Its ok, coz I was late reaching there, took long waiting time for the express bus. As you said, not really worth it, walked a few rounds only bought a couple of stuff. I was very interest in 1 aprica stroller selling at $399 (black col one, serial no: 84190, for newborn to 3/4yrs old) and nania car seat (from 3mth on @ $179.00. No given serial no). If husband wants to get the car seat, may go down again before sale ends.
Your leg tired huh, better go rest. I had my rest while waiting for bro to come, so not too bad lar.

Hi ladies,
re: pumps
Last weekend, i happen to be at the first few Years at paragon. they sell PIS Advance at a discounted price too (about $600ish but lower than those in Sales now) so those who missed the sale today can consider dropping by there to take a look. First Few Years at KK also sells PIS cheap, no need go for sales.
Ameda pump ia also a good and cheaper alternative but if you r more willing to invest in a good pump to extend your "pumping career", thk PIS advance is a better choice.
re: milkbags and storage of EBM
hehe.. i am also 1 of the Aug06mums Cyn mentioned who use the Avent Liners. Avent no longer sell the liners but if you can catch hold of some (rom mums who have stopped bfg), they would be good for storing milk cos saves space and very neat. can get the clips from Ikea. Alternatively can get Playtex liners/Pigeon Liners which haf "ziplock" feature at the mouth.. more convenient.
But dun get too many boxes 1st cos we won't know if we haf so much milk to store to begin with. During my bfg period, I came to realise that getting Pigeon plastic bottles (looks like medela bottles that come with the pumps) store milk better in the fridge, esp if you dun intend to gif "fresh milk" and dun intend to freeze. Saves $$$ too, won't need to throw away milkbags after use and buy new ones.
re: bb mattress
I agree with Cyn and Felicia that best to invest in firm mattress, bolster, pillows etc. Babysafe is good! can get them cheap at those bb fairs (esp those motherhood fairs at Expo/Suntec)
Any of you who haf been to the fair saw baby monitors at a discount? Mine spoilt liao.. may need to get new one for 2nd one...
Many Thanks!

I bot pigeon milk storage bottles just now, it is so much cheaper than Avent ones. 3 bottles for $14.90. My colleague say it is better than avent bec' the bottles are bigger. Maybe u all want to consider that.
Piyo,

Hello Mummies, last week down with stomach flu, yesterday night start with cough and sore throat. How to go shopping like that? Arghhhh ...
Read the posting that the Taka Baby Fair not really a good buy. Haiz, the long awaited sale so disappointing lei, I do hope to check it out on weekends when I'm better *finger crossed*

TinyFeet, I should have asked you to help me check out Nuk bottles and join you at Robinson to buy. I do not have membership and couldn't find Nuk at Taka. Anyway, maybe I shall go tangs to buy since I will have 6% rebate. You sure can walk so far leh, must be real tiring.
About pacifier, dun panic when baby cries and try not to give it to her/him. I never let my son suck, but then, he did his own sucking style (without the pacifier of coz) while he was asleep when younger. Its such a blessing that he never need it. I am not going to buy any to standby for my gal this time as well. Crossing fingers.
Mogudog, so poorthing. Do rest well as now weather really bad. If you can, try to go down take a look since you have been looking forward to it. Couple of things may be worth getting but its really up to individuals.

TF,
The sales person confirm to me that no discount for Medela PIS.. and i tot got good deal..haiz..

Good morning.. back at work. I am so glad that it is Friday, even though I have to be back tomolo. Haiz..
TF,
You good leh. Can still shop for 8 hrs. I think I would start yearning for home after 2 hrs. That's why intending to drag hb down. Hehe.
Re: Taka fair
Aiyoh, really sound like a disappointment from the ways that you gers reported. I tot can at least get the pigeon steriliser, then saw TF's comment that it is not that cheap. Haiz.. To think that we waited so long for it. I think I will still go down and take a look but wun but much. Haiz..
Felicia,
Enjoy your trip.

Can check with experienced mummies how you store EBM?
After expressing in office, keep the EBM in fridge section or straight away freeze in freezer section? The pump after one use must sterilise? I was thinking of pumping twice during office hours.
Any experienced mummies can share? My #1 I was working part-time, so no such issues. Now working full-time...... so much consider all these.

Hi feifei,
Wah, looks like you have a good catch yday.
I tot you handle all those walking and shopping with you and I was so amazed, then saw you mentioned your hb. ;p So you decided on medala huh. I am still banging on ameda pump. I dun think there is much discount on ameda, likely to get from mumsfairy.

morning feifei....
Ya, I bought at Robinsons. But the mini electric dual pump. UP $305. After sale, $207. I very happy. I didn't buy the cooler bag, cos already bought the pigeon fridge-to-go earlier.
didn't buy anything else. was very focused yesterday. Just went and buy pump, then go home!!!
I use Huggies too. But I buy from this medical shop near my house. Very cheap all the time. $14.90 for huggies comfort. NTUC selling $18.70

carol,
the OG pigeon steriliser doesn't come with the newborn starter kit. Only comes with 2 bottles.
Think open to pulic also. Let me go back and see whether any small print attached or not...
feifei,
ya lor, mine warranty also only 1 year. But got one colleague use it for her 4 children.... 10 years already, still working fine.
