I've not kept a spare dress in office yet. Thanks for the reminder!

Maybe the pump issues, you can call up mums & babes if you have any queries if really have no time to finish reading the instructions? Or else, call up medela singapore?

cactus,

I tink i may not have separate bags for me and bb, cos i dun need to bring so many stuff for bb. only bringing 2 sets of clothes (maybe 1 romper and one shirt+pants), mittens and receiving blanket.

Its the maternity pads tat take up space, if u have start to pack u will understand wat i meant. pads i bringing with assumption of 2 pads for 1 day in case need to change.

i dunno if my backpack has enuff space or not, i packed 80% of my stuff liao but looks like not much space to put rest of times. next mth around 38 weeks if haven't deliver, i will have to take out the clothes and wash again, so tat there will not be smell (cos clothes put inside too long tend to have smell).
 
cactus,

ya u need a pair of pants in office in case.
And to start wearing sanitary pads near due.

Then also ya, i just remember tat when we need to do virginal examination near due, we also need to wear pad.

Best is to bring one pad in handbag in case i tink.
 
ellysia.. oh ya.. u mentioned maternity pad.. another one know how to use the loop ones? was taking out some to put inside ziplop bag as dont want to bring all and was there figuring out how to use that.. ha ha..
 
Ellysia, I know exactly what you mean! :p That's why I have 2 bags lah!! My first bag only contains essnetials to cope with labour + 1 pair of breast pads + 2 maternity pads. The rest will be in my 2nd bag.. more pads, spare underwear, etc. Cos I believe once bb is born or about to be born, my parents and ILs will rush to the hospital... so plan to get them to bring my 2nd bag down at the same time.

ioio,

I dunno how to use but i tink nurse will help us on for first time in hospital according to wat m colleague tell me.

I also take out some and pack in plastic bag, i bring some loop, some stick on.
 
cactus,

oic. my stuff all in my house and only me and hb stay there lah, so will be my hb to bring them to me lor. unless my mum start to move in during my home stay hor, then can ask mum to help carry to me.
 
cactus,

u remember morraine posting.. i dun tink gynae will give pad le.

my gynae said doesn't mean all VE will cause bleed later but if need to adjust bb position, help to turn down etc, may cause it.
 
Ellysia, another way is to leave your other stuff with your mom or IL cos I'm sure they will deifnately rush to hospital to see your bb when born.
happy.gif
I'm leaving my 2nd bag with my parents at their place.... :p

hmm. I don't recall morraine's posting, but better be safe than sorry. 1 pad really not that inconvenient to carry around.
 
ioio,

I bot too many pads. At first i bot Kotex loop x 10 pieces, then i understand tat stick is better so i bot kotex stick on x 10 pieces. then colleague told me kotex is no good and i shd buy madame brand, so i go buy madame brand but they only have big packet, so end up i have a lot more pads liao. i tink waste again but being KS so i comfort myself on the waste lah.
 
aprilmum,
the thing is i do not know when i will deliver, i mean which day, and if its weekday, then my son cannot stay in hospital, so i better just book the single room, no, i only have citibank credit card, not the debit card, can I still get discount?i know UOB card also can get 10% discount for MAH package
 
Ok i be going off at 1pm today, half day leave today cos need to go do statement at traffic police. see ya cactus.
 
cactus,

Oh ya i tink we also need to put 1 panties in office..

i tink we can put disposable panties, one pak in office and one can carry in handbag. all just in case.
 
wow Ellysia & Catcus, both of u discussing abt the hospital bag liao hahaa very fast !

i did not have a chance to bath during my 4d3n stay in the hospital. probably bcos csect so quite impossible to bath with your fresh wound. The nurse will help you go toilet to change pad ley.. but i never once felt dirty as in aircon room. to cut down packing stuff, u can choose to wear the nursing gown provided by hospital instead of bringing your own. I got bring only 1 gown dress, the rest of the days i wear the hospital one.

then the maternity pad provided by the hospital is kotex loop. one pack for me more than enough to last my 4d stay in the hospital, so i din get any extra.
 
luz,

TMC dun provide nursing gown. they only have hospital gown which is expose at the back.

No choice, my EDD is 3 June, almost near end of may, so have to get prepared earlier.
 
ioio,
I will be using loop ones...cos b4 preggi, i hv been using kotez loop pads lor... =D.. u will need a belt for it leh...

Ellysia,
tata...take care..

I will be goin gfor my VE ( strep B test) next fri lor...worried might bleed..hiaz...scared lor..

Aprilmum,
will teared cos tink bk of all e hardwork , bery touching lor =)..

All,
Anyone knows anywhere having sales for bras now? cos asked hb to go out with me tmr for a short shopping trip cos have been at home for pass 2wk+, bored...need to get the airpot too..
 
feifei

i dunno when is my strep B test, gynae didn't tell me yet. i hope she won't suddenly tell me must do, then i am not prepared.
 
luz,Ellysia,
ya lor, TMC govwn is the green color one with strings to tie at the back..bery thin and expose lor...I had a hard time getting used to wearing them wks ago...
 
yo ladies,
i got qns to ask exp mummies. wil the hospital be givin us anythin to sit or 'smoke' our 'V' area after birth? cos i heard frm my colleague she was given a tub wif hot water n antiseptic or watever for her to 'smoke' e area.

wil gynae or hospital provide medication for bb cord?
 
Ellysia,
true lor..tink th etestis taken at wk35 wor..cos next wk i 35wks liao =D... Duno how is the test going ot be like....
 
fei fei.. any idea where to get the belt? i nv used loop b4 so hv no ideas ;p think last time i rem my sis using string or something.. cant rem clearly oso... i bought 1 pack of kotex so dont want to waste it..
 
<font color="119911">mrswrx

not that i noe of from GlenE on the smoking thingy and yesh hospital will give u those antiseptic wipes to clean the bb cord</font>
 
oh feifei, if the TMC gown is difficult to wear, then i think better bring your own one, if not breastfeeding oso becoming trouble. the one ME provides is dull red color one got opening flap in the front, so very convenient to breastfeed.

mrswrx, upon discharge, the hospital did give me the spirit for cleaning the bb cord.
 
ioio,
tink NTUC sells those belt wor..if can't find, can use those elastic that seamtress used to make elastic pants type lor.;..i hv been using them since puperty =)

mrswrx,
I understand frm ananental class that the spirit will be given by TMC..

luz,
ya lor..true lor, not convenient...we can bring our own front button pjs..
 
Veinz,
You are gg for your photoshot. I refused to take photo after preggy cos I think I looked damned fat. I will always hide somewhere when somebody is holding a camera. Haha.

Mog,
I oso bought the NB size diapers. Originally, tot S can liao, but then realised bb small size. haiz.. I only bought 1 pack NB, 1 pack S niah. But I already told hb that he will have to replenish for me if not enuff liao. I scared teh brand that I buy not suitable.

Re: Pre-matured
Haha, looks like we are all becoming gan cheong spiders huh. I oso packed my bag liao. I did that after my 28th week check-up when my doc was telling me about pre-matured birth. Scared the hell out of me.
 
Ellysia

happy.gif
 
is it a must to do the VE? my gynae did not tell me anything about that.. kekeke.. what actually they will do? insert the hand in to check the cervix opening?
 
ladies, just back form my lunch. I'm having buffet at Sakura. And this is the 1st time i ate sashimi since i noe i'm preggie. Yummy.....!!!!

Now very very full, and keep burping. While i'm eating, my bb keep moving inside oso. I think today when i went for check up, sure gained lot of wight liao. haha.....
 
Felicia,
Fwah, u had sashimi?? *drool* I haven't had any since pregnant and have been craving for them! In fact, I was at Sakae last night and my hubby was happily devouring the sashimi. Evil!! :p
 
ZuEn, yeah loh, I also intend to buy more NB size to standby since my ger also small size. But no need stock up a lot in case baby not suited to the brand, can always ask hubby to get it for us during our confinement.
 
Tera,

U dont dare to eat sashimi coz of preggie? Me had been craving for long time. And just now i was hesitating to eat or not. But then i remember my gynae only mentioned avoid sashimi/ uncooked food during 1st trimster, so i 'physco' myself is ok to take now and i just take few pieces only. hehe....
 
Tera, me not going for the talk, my cleaning lady will be at my place from 1 to 4pm. Hehehe, seeya on the 26th then. We can have some munchies after our class. By the way, doctor's talk is on 22nd Apr hor ?
 
Hi Cupid, it's normal to do VE esp if pregnancy is almost overdue or if we want to know when we are likely to deliver. doctor will put in 2 fingers. not whole hand. our cervix is about 3 to 4 cm long. the fingers will reach to the cervix and see how open the cervix is.it's an estimation. 2 cm = 1 fingerspace.
 
Felicia,
Hehe yes, me just being kiasi, so dun dare to eat when preggie.

Mog,
Oic. Yes, dr's talk on 22 Apr, 7 to 9pm.
