thanks for all the concerns.
Me headache not just with the bad MS but with my maid too. Her contract ending end Apr and alot of problems .... now still not decided to change her or not cos my hubby feels still can keep her since she is familiar with my son.
Hwr, I feel she is getting out of control. Everyday makes me fed up with just one thing will do.

Snow74, still more to come!
Shint, u should keep someoneone u trust near u. Go with yr feel. I think u can persuade yr hubby.
chipchip, I've one baby cot (brand new)bought at $125 (wooden type) willing to let go at $60 if u want. B'cos I don't intend to put my newborn in babycot anymore. Baby will sleep in bed w me instead.

chipchip,
i'm also don't intend to get a baby cot. my friend advise is that it will ultimately become a white elephant. her baby cot now fills with baby everyday change clothes or cloth diaper instead of baby.
i will have baby sleep on a mattress on the floor or with me in bed. some say i very heartless to put baby on the floor but i feel that baby will have the whole floor to him/herself then he/she can turn and toss wherever he/she wants later.

Yuuri,
I will also be getting playpen for my bb this time round coz gave away the bb cot liao...playpen next time can convert to play area for them when they are bigger too...
Celyn,
If your floor is those marble or tiles, then not advisable to put bb on the mattress on the floor because of some "shi qi" (wetness) at night which is not good for bb ...if it is parquet or laminated flooring, then shd be ok.

haha I have no ideas ... should i buy playpen, baby cot ?? or mattress?
Hewchen,
Thanks for your offer.. i think i need more time to decide what i want/need to buy... and my bed room might not has enough space to put baby cot
as i have 2 big cupboards and my bed is fixed ... cannot move leh

Yes, I agree w M2B's idea....
Snow74, I know edison is leaving...any other female actress leaving too? ultimately Edison would have less impact abt this incident. He left the entertainment circle but he has the support of his 'rich' father! He can go into any circle he wants or even set up his own.
These pics sure to have impact on Gil and Maggie Q. Now rumours have been spreading that Maggie Q's boyfrd wants out of the relationship!

about bb sleeping on floor..i also actually intended to do that, but hubby say where got bb sleep on floor..his so silly an uneconomical...its cheaper that way and plus we can use the $ to buy other stuff...
also, i told him i will get some old bb gal clothes from my colleagues, then he say 'har? old clothes?' i believe bb should have some old clothes to start with and not wear all new clothes...he think old clothes not nice and not good to wear other pple clothes...think he dunno alot of things...sigh...

Morning Ladies
Thanks for the warm welcome.
My hubby and i were actually looking forward to hv a bb girl but last few wks already having strong feeling that it's going to be a boy.
Had an appt with Dr adrian yesterday. Dr thinks he sees a "stick" but will only reconfirm on my next visit 3 weeks later. Nevermind lor.. boy or girl also will love the same bah. Healthy bb most important.
Doc actually scan and found that I have a cyst and 2 fibroids on my 1st scan 2 mths ago. Although Doc has already said not to worry since it has not been causing me any pain or watsoever and tat there is high chances that the bb's growth in time will shrink the fibroids and cyst.. i can't help wondering... Anybody here has similar condition?
earnestmum,
my nearest NE station would be hougang. nope, haven't been to vietnam yet. hopefully soon. Thinking of goin for a trip to either bangkok or hongkong in april/may before bb comes along too. heheh

M2B,
So in your opinion, playpen won't become white elephant? Any particular types to look out for?
YLN,
Haha I also have the same thinking as your hubby..whenever he suggest getting old stuff from his bro, I'm like "Har?u want our baby to wear clothes that people shit in before?"
Saigon,
so fast Dr Adrian tell u can see stick already...hopefully he will tell me something when I see him on Monday.

snow74,
yah. don't have to worry about falling off bed too.
m2b, my floor is laminted.
yln,
i think after i know the gender of baby, i might also have lots of old clothes for baby. i think its fine to have them wear old clothes cos its more soft and comfortable as they have been wash several times liao compare to new ones.
i'm just wondering if i should get old breast pump from friend or buy new ones.

I've just mailed out the receipts
. You should either receive tmr or next Monday.
Sorry ya for the delay coz I was busy settling for my confinement lady. Phew...finally confirm n paid for deposit yesterday evening. 1 thing can cross off my list now.
<font color="0000ff">celynlee</font>
I heard from other mommies that not so good (for us) to put bb on mattress on floor. coz we have to keep bending down to pick up the bb or when changing diaper, so it will hurt our back.
<font color="0000ff">M2B</font>
me too am thinking of getting playpen. at least can double up as play area when bb is older.

me not too sure. I read from other threads where those experience mommies comment on it. Maybe the experience mommies here can comment on this?
but just thinking logically, even after confinement mth, that means bb is 1+month old.... they still poop/pee alot and need constant attention. So we still have to frequently bend down to pick them up. So all those frequent bending down will still hurt our back wor...
So I think mattress on floor should be used when the kid is older, maybe after 1yr....?

celynlee,
not only changing diapers. when bb cry or fuss, u sure wanna bend down pick her/him up. or just bend down to check diaper.
But if you are very disipline type i.e. always practice the correct way of picking up things/bending down. then i think it should be ok bah.
hehe..but me very lazy n forgetful (the correct way is suppose to squat first, n not bend ur body to pick up things). Whenever i pick things up from the floor, I always forget to squat first, I straight away bend my body.

Yuuri,
At least for my gal and 2 nephews, the playpen has been very useful when they are young. I dun really know what to look out for for playpens, think there are diff sizes too, some bigger some more compact…maybe you can go Taka BB Fair to look see in Mar.
Mulberry,
I agree w you on the bending down to pick up bb if bb is sleeping on mattress…bad for the back…Yes, the playpen can keep the kid in till quite big, good for them to learn to walk inside too…heehee
Carolynn,

Dear Celynlee,
Yes, this is the reason I choose TPS. Dr will give us a photo after scan.
Reg mattress on the floor,I also agree with mulberry's comment. However in daily activies, we will hurt our waist if bend too much. After delivery, our bone will be more fragile. So, should reduce such position. We should protect our body else will regret when we are old.
Hi All,
Have you choose your CL? I called to CLs, they told me market price si S$1.9K + ang pao.

Dear Hew Chen,
Thanks. Nice to join the conversation too

Playpen vs Mattress
*******************
Mattress - bad for back. Even if u have CL, there will be times when u need to pick baby up and put baby down.
Playpen - good.
Can use when young, when older can put inside the playpen. Must buy mattress la. I use it as the baby cot until i got another free one .. haha.
Initially I bought it and the saleslady says can use till 3 years old - I tot so cheap $100 (excl. mattress). After I bought it, realised that maybe need a baby cot. haha.
Anyway, it is good cos when the kid grows older and starts crawling, it is safer to put them inside when u need to do some stuff at home. Then when they can walk, it is even better cos it works as a barrier to constraint them when u need to go to the toilet, shower.
I am still using the playpen as a cot for my son to sleep at my MIL place. When he sleeps on a mattress on the floor - he will move here move there, start climbing into my bed, walk around the room .... but when he is placed in the playpen to sleep, he will guai guai sleep cos he cannot have much freedom to come out.
They know the limitations or freedom ok.
So, he sleeps faster in the playpen... haha.
Good enough reason to buy one.
Thinking of buying another one for my bb manz. See when got sale.
Buy bigger one la, not the small one.
Baby cot oso.

me just booked my CL yesterday. You better book fast. Actually I couldn't get my 1st choice CL, she's fully booked until Nov liao. She said most MTBs usually book CL after their 1st gynae visit.
I waited until so long (me now 16++weeks) becoz earlier I wasn't sure whether I'll be giving birth in Spore.
<font color="0000ff">HewChen</font>
have emailed u.
<font color="0000ff">M2B</font> and <font color="0000ff">Shint</font>
thanks for your input. Always good to hear advise from experience mommies
All,
I thought someone posted before there will be a baby fair in Expo but can't find it in their event's calender leh. So there is no longer one in Expo??

Can't remember what are the features.
prob most playpen has this - there is a zip at one side of the playpen so the kid can go in go out when they grow older.
For mine, the zip spoilt so we had to sew it up, cannot open anymore. Else quite fun to play with the kid when he/she can walk, crawl.
For the top portion, you can put baby on top till they grow a little bigger in size. There's a section to change baby oso but I seldom use it, I use my bed.
Mine is netted on 3 sides so if can find 4 sides ones i thikn better ba ... not sure if that's the norm.
One thing I find is to clean the playpen .... dunno got those that can take it out to wash the or not .... cos it gets dirty after sometime when the kid grows older and sometimes hands dirty touches it. Maybe just have to be conscious to wipe it all the time.

i actually have a baby cot and a playpen.
Playpen is bigger. So i place it outside at the living room, else got to always move the baby cot in and out.
When i in living room, put him in the playpen, in the room then back in cot.
My maid does that when i went back to work and she needs to cook, she'll place him in the playpen.
