snow,
im using the Avent stretchmark cream & the Galenic Elancyl stretchmark cream... waiting for my hubby to buy for me the Clarins stretchmark oil & cream...
re: maternity clothes
i started wearing those This Fashion kind of baby doll dresses and tops since start of 2nd trimester... now wearing my maternity pants too... only the maternity tops & dress still hanging inside wardrobe cos i was telling my hubby i look like a water barrel now when i wear those maternity clothing... im a small to medium size before preggie, waist was abt 26 to 28 inches, yesday measures 34 inches.... so big until it's like a watermelon now... nobody can miss it now... hahah...
valnsw,
thanks...
qiqi,
why dont you ask your gynae to check, if it's rashes then you have to stop that stretchmark cream you are using cos you may be allergic to it... if it's the onset of stretchmark forming, then you should apply more cream lor...
happy holiday & long weekend...

I'm staying in Simei. faeriekim also, she stays at the same street as me.
U leh?

can, we can go to dentist now. It's actually recommended to go during 2nd tri. coz in 3rd tri, scared we too big, if sit too long might get backache.
I just went to dentist (for cleaning & scaling) couple weeks back.
But if u go dentist to do filling, then i'm not sure. Actually you can ask the dentist. My dentist is good, very experience but bit expensive. He knows what can be & cannot be done for preggies.
Re:maternity clothes
I also started wearing liao. Especially the bottoms. My normal pants/skirts cannot wear liao.

cocomo,
i have started wearing maternity pants long ago (about 3 months), still wearing my normal tops and some loose dresses. maternity clothes from spring, OIO or swell are big for me. will have to get their xs or s size.

chipchip/krex,
u gals actually monitor your weight wk by wk? so far, i only weigh myself when i go for my routine check. Last visit at 16 wks showed 3kg gain fr pre-pregnancy and that was all from the 2nd trimester! That was 3 wks ago, now maybe gain another kg? 1st trimester didn't gain any weight at all. My doc told me to fatten up.
Actually, I feel regardless of how much weight we gain, most important thing is baby gains the weight.
mulberry,
oh yeah, I read somewhere that you and faeriekim live at one of the condos near the Simei MRT? Is it Tropical Spring? I'm looking for a unit there or any of the condos nearby but all seem v ex. The property boom pushed up all the prices. sigh.

Dunno if I'm the odd one out here, but so far I have gained zero kgs!!! Never gain weight actually more scary than gaining weight...but my last check up showed bb is 300g at 19wks.
I also don't feel any bb movement, but then again I dunno how it's supposed to feel. And of course I'm big sized to begin with, so supposed the little one will have to kick through all the fats first
Everyone thinks I'm xiao cos' I actually start worrying bout pri 1 registration liao! hahaha

Sterilizer,
Have used both Avent and Pigeon sterilisers. Both can fit Avent and NUK bottles. NUK steriliser can also fit Avent and NUK bottles.
Glass NUK Bottles
Saw Robinsons selling and now having 20% off NUK products. Not too sure if glass bottles excluded but think unlikely.
Kiddy Palace
If mummies want to buy anything from Kiddy Palace, usually it will offer 20% storewide during GSS. It has been like this for the past 2 years.
DS
Still waiting for my DS in early May but last checkup gynae commented most likely gal. Keeping fingers crossed. Dun wan to end up like my 1st preg. Gal suddenly became boy.

hi ladies
thanks for the well wishes
re: belly button
i also noticed my belly button become shallow in this time but din pop out. during my first preg belly button pop out.
i also put on quite a lot of weight within 3 wks. surprised to see gain 2 kg these 3 wks. now total wt gain is 5kg. tummy getting bigger too... this wk i also cant fit into normal working tops anymore. last 2wks still can. so this wk i wore maternity clothes to work everyday. last time waist abt 26inches n now is 32-3 inches already!
cocomo
it is ok to go dentist. in fact we are encourage to visit the dentist often as i read that pregnant women are more prone to tooth decay. however some dentist are skeptical if it is ok to do filling or not. so most of the time they only do scaling n polishing n will wait till after delivery then do filing.

Yuuri/krex,
For 1st time mummy, baby moving is usually felt onli on or after 20 weeks. Unlike experience mum, movement can be felt as early as fourth month.
Baby movement is almost best feel when you are in bed. That is because during day time when you are working, 1 tend to be moving so much that baby actually enjoy being 'rocked' to sleep in your tummy. But when night time you are resting, it is too quiet for them so they are actually awake.
For 32th weeks onwards, you should be able to feel baby movement throughout day and nights and for my case, i could hear my gal's hiccup when she is in my tummy,of course she is loud.
Remember once you consistently feel movements, it is important fort you to feel the baby move on and off through each day.
Soon it will be your turn and enjoy your baby movement.

Krex,
Maybe it's a shared plight between our yr pple! (1978)
Snnowy,
Thanks for the explanation! I think when *cross fingers* I can feel the bb movement, I will still consistently worry whether he will move again the next few hours or not...sigh, pregnancy is one long worrying journey!

happycat,
Thanks for your info on sterilisers. Now I prob know what to get
wing,
I first-time MTB, I also blur about the size of the baby cot to buy. Think some of the second-time mums said to buy bigger cots as babies tend to grow fast then need bigger cot. My mum said the same thing too cos there was one on sale at the Isetan sale, and when I told my mum the dimensions, she said too narrow not wide enough.
Any second-time mummies hv any recommendations on where to buy the cots?

Talking about baby cots and playpens, I'm in 2 minds which to get. Both hv pros and cons.
MIL told me to get playpen cos cheaper and can act as both cot and playpen. But I worried about the stability of playpen.
My mum didn't advise me but I can sense that she would be more for the wooden cot cos more stable than playpen. But MIL said if wooden cot, the baby might knock head on the wooden panels when shifting around, so v painful.
So now in a bit of dilemma..

Re: Baby cot
If you ask me the cot better or playpen better? I think I will say definately cot. Not only becoz it's more stable but it can be use for longer time. I have bought one cot for my #1 last time from mums & babes (cost about $300) which have the following functions"-
1) is moveable which come with 4 lockable (removable) wheels (make sure the cot you bought is not too big so that you can move it out from your room to the living hall. I usually let my boy sleep in the living hall in the afternoon coz my mum said not good to always sleep in aircon room. Therefore daytime we on fan/nature air for my boy).
2) changeable to various levels (heights) in accodance to the babys growing stages
- the highest level is bed + diaper changing area.
- second level (lower down) is suitable when the baby starting to flip
- 3rd level is suitable during their stadning stage where the height is just nice for their support to stand up and walk around
- last lever is the deepest one which prevent the baby to climb out of the cot
3) convertable to toddler's bed in the later stage
4) one hand easy operated door - bear in mind that when you carry your baby with one hand and you only left another hand to open the door/fence, so this function is important
valnsw,
My mum bought one playpen for my boy at her place. I never use it once my boy able to stand. reason being:-
1) too soft and whenever my boy try to stand up by holding to the 'wall' of the playpen, he started to fall again as it is too soft
2) not stable as my boy like to move around and the playpen seems very shaky.
3) cannot lower to various level according to your baby's growing stages (if not mistaken only 2 stages which is the diaper changing level and the bottom of the playpen)
As what your MIL said the cot is hard and baby can knock his head. Dun worry, I bought the cot protector to surround the inner side of the cot, so far no problem. My 2 cents worth, hope it helps.
Re: Maternity clothes

Snow74,
me also went to expo bb fair in the morning. but I reached ard 11.30am. Got quite alot of ppl liao.
Yeah i agree...those staying far away, no need to go. I find it's nothing much for us MTBs.
Hee...but i did end up buying a few small small items like 1 hooded towel, 3 pairs of socks and 1 Mustela barrier cream.
Then i bought the 1yr subscription for Mother & Baby magazine and there are few choices of gifts to choose from. I chose the Tollyjoy hamper worth $60+.
For those interested in the Ameda breastpumps:-
There is a Mumsfairy booth there.
Price for the breastpump only = $365
There is also bundled deal cost $390 which consists of the breastpump + Handsfree Original Pumpin Pal + Super Shields Plus + a Bag (to store pump/parts).
I asked her abt the warranty since I'm due in Aug. She said if wanna buy, i pay for it in full now but request for the delivery date to be later, say in July. Then the warranty date will start from the delivered date.

To add on:-
the Pureen booth seems like got good buys, many many ppl buying from there. I remember seeing the bottles washing liquid is selling 2 for $10. I wanted to get that but my hubby refused to queue up to pay. Hee...but cannot blame him, the line was really very very long.
Also, a lot of ppl were at the Babysafe booth. Didn't see the prices coz we're not interested in their mattresses/pillows.

i also was doing the math...keke... ya price wise it's abt the same.
But i think 1 good point from buying from expo fair is the warranty date can start later.
If we buy from Robinsons, i think the warranty date have to start now, right? Unless they also can do the same thing as mumsfairy?
Or unless robinson have another sale during GSS and we only buy during then.

Re: Baby fair at Expo
It was super crowded that carpark was full. Think cos City Harvest Church has services from today til Sunday. Ended hubby parked behind the Expo where there're those factories and we walked across to the hall.
Ameda pumps:
Pricing as per what mulberry said. If you want the contact numbers, Valerie: 8157 5780 and Juliet: 9183 6629 from the namecard I got from the mumsfairy booth.

cocomo,
Thanks for your feedback and very much appreciate it!
For the baby cot u got from Mums and Babes, you said it was moveable on 4 wheels. Is it also foldable? cos may need to fold it and move it to another room instead of moving it on all 4 wheels. Mind if I ask you which model you got or if it is still available? TIA!

valnsw,
Normally cot is wooden one and not foldable but you take dismentle it can pack it (like those IKEA furniture). I am not sure if the model I bought still available but think shd have. I see most of the cot need 2 hands to pull up and down the door which I think not convenient lo as the one I bought need one hand and one leg (help to press the bottom of the door in so that you can pull the door up and down using one hand).
YLN,
you can refer to this one. The longest I stored my EBM for 3 months. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/milkstorage.html
