sleep:
maybe it's habit coz' i used to sleep ard 12 or 1am last time also. i work long hours so when i come home, i still want to maximise my time by getting home errands done, paying bills, doing online research, etc. so i end up sleeping no earlier than 12 plus. i do make up for it on weekends but i think when we have kids next time, no chance liao. i see a lot of my friends wake up very early on weekends...kena woken up by their kid(s)

valnsw/catherine: im not sure whether the clarins tonic oil works anot cos personally i just started using it.. However, many moms swore by it.. No harm trying lor. I also just started applying only cos my tummy looks so dry with flaky skin... hehe
I saw my tummy move today! keke! so cute lor..i was lying down watch tv n i saw my tummy wobble, n then from right to left n then wobble again..haha..Very happy bb is active~ I wonder if they are as active when they are out?

valnsw & nini,
i can't confirm if the oil work but i don't have itchy tummy in the beginning when i apply. i will apply more when my tummy feel itchy loh. i started using in feb but apply once a day (in the evening) instead of twice. currently using only my 2nd bottle but this one seems to finish faster, maybe cos tummy is bigger now. i got mine from airport when friends go overseas, its cheaper than dept store but more ex then neighbourhood.
since many mummies say its very good, so i try loh. but my friend say it doesn't work for her.
nini,
its interesting to see tummy move right.

M2B, yah, babies will turn a lot so may shift many times until the last few weeks when they get too big to move comfortably.
Nini,
I'm also using clarins and the promoter told me not to rinse off even though the instructions say so. Anyway, my gynae says stretchmark is genetic. Some women have, some dun. I apply palmers last pregnancy and i tot no stretchmarks. After delivery, all appear....gosh

Snow: Thanks for taking time to organise the spree. Paisey to email you a few times.

hi mummies,
wow, so many postings... dont think i can catch up... i have MIA for some time....
hi valnsw,
i have both NUK and Pigeon at home. But i dont think the NUK teat can fit into Pigeon bottles. Pigeon bottles seem to look slight bigger than NUK bottles. but not sure whether is it i used the wrong size Pigeon teat, my girl when she was a NB, she will always choke when we feed her water using pigeon teat, so from that time, i did not use pigeon anymore.

Morning mommies,
I was using the Clarins Stretchmark cream before I switch to the Tonic Oil. But now I am back to the cream again. The Tonic Oil is somewhat richer as compared to the cream. But personally I feel that the cream works better on me. There was once after showering, I massage the oil onto my wet skin and left it on for about 15mins. Could feel a burning sensation. Thereafter I washed off with cold water as per instructions. Found it too troublesome so only did it once. Other times was just apply on dry skin and go to bed =p The cream works just as well. Both are able to relieve me from itch and prevent those small red spots - which are supposed to be signs of stretching.
If anyone is interested, can get it from strawberry.net I got mine there with free shipping and additional 5% discount with 3items and above.
Hi Val,
According to my gf, NUK's teats should fit Pigeon's SLIM bottle but not the wide neck. I was advised to get the Latex CLEAR teats. HTHs

hello mummies,
just to share with you an article on stretchmarks from babycentre.
"There is no way to prevent stretch marks and there are no products on the market which can truly claim to do so. Creams which claim to work on stretch marks are applied to the external layer of skin, but it is the layer underneath this which stretches.
You can, however, take care not to put on too much weight, by maintaining a healthy balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Avoid eating too many high-fat foods or fast food and those containing additives and preservatives which may affect your fluid retention.
Drinking plenty of water is also important to keep your skin supple and well hydrated. Drink at least eight glasses of water every day."

RTCP,
Hehe, that's what I meant too. I'm afraid the stretchmarks will only show up after giving birth.
strawberry,
thanks for the info. When you say latex CLEAR teats, do you mean by NUK silicon teats? Cos the NUK bottles I bought came with the latex teats that are yellow in color. I'm thinking of buying 2 Pigeon PES bottles but use with NUK teats.
Joanne,
thanks, I've received your PM. I wana join you gals tomorrow but today my stomach feeling queasy. I let you know by tonight.
For Isetan private sale, I have the mailer with me, it says the private sale is on 15 May at Isetan Scotts 8.30am. Hopefully my hubby can take leave too. Then can get him to carry the heavy stuff for me. hehe.. somemore that day is our ROM 1st anniversary.

valnsw,
I intend to use NUK teats on Pigeon bottles too. Seems that the NUK teats can fit on Pigeon glass bottles just right. But I am not sure if it is will cause leakage when using though.
Clarins - I am using both the oil and the cream. Prefer the oil better coz the cream like causing a layer of coating. I also use the oil after bath and not following the instruction in the box.

Well! I'll guai guai stay at home and stay away from household chores. I read from a book on multiple pregnancy that mopping and ironing can cause contractions.. so I stayed away from these just to play safe.
Re: Clarin oil
I'm not using it as I had bad PUPPP since 16 weeks.. the rashes was extremely bad so I was prescribed with another moisturiser by the National Skin Centre. Been applying religiously in the morning and night.. Not too bad. Less than $3 per 100g jar (Aqueous cream). Since it's cheap n effective, I use one jar per week generously. Guardian pharmacy has it too, but they mark-up the price (about $19 for a 500g jar).

its so nice. i also wanted to go back to our hotel for our anniversary in june but after checking the price. i decided to give it a miss. its going to cost us about $500+ for a normal room, not even the suite that we had. i rather spend the $$ on baby stuff.

snow74,
