Congrats Mrs teng!!
First to start confinement, good to hear ur gals are doing well.
Jvenus,
Not sure if can use the voucher if u are existing customer of cordlife (no clause stated on voucher for this) Pls pm me ur addy if you want the voucher k ?
Vone,
thanks for the tips, then i think i got to go and source for the nursing bra and breast pump liaoz. feel so bulky and lazy to do so these days wor. confinement lady, any good contacts to share ?
Valnsw,
i called up scbb and they do a screening via the fone, then asked to meet up for more explaination and signing of documents, they can come visit u during ur normal visit to your gynae(office hrs).Since i visit my doc after 7pm, so i made my way down to their opi in kk instead loh.
Krmeow (hope i got ur nick right)sorry if i spelt it wrongly.
yup, what you mention is true, actually when i ask my gynae abt donating, he is happy that am donating, then 2 wks after his nurses gave me a brochure from scbb too.
so actually cord blood (if already contaminated from the beginning,diease already exist from the birth moment)from your baby#1 will not be able to use on himself/herself, even for siblings, the % that the cord blood can be use on them are also rather low. Higher % can be used on the parents, that's what i understand from the briefing.
Not sure how much the transplant will cost should we need cord bank from the scbb, but they did explain that if the cord blood which we donate are still available and can be of use for our siblings of baby/parents, then they will release it to us.
If it had been used, then they will find a suitable one for you.
They are not for profit org, thus not sure if the transplant will have any susidy of some sort.
anyway i decide to donate mainly cos i want to do good deed for my baobao and rather spend the $ on insurance plan than specifically on storing his cord blood which at the end of the day he might not need it at all.
just for info and sharing ya.
celynlee,
pls take good care of urself yo..few more days to meet ur poppy.
yuuri,
try kiddypalace?
i got two sets from babysafe brand at kiddy palace, one full set with bumper, the other without bumper.
hui chin!!
rem me bo ?? chin chin ??
sg brides ...long time ago?
anyway for ur babymall online thingy, i also joined one spree by yuki's mom, now still waiting for the cost of shipment, let u noe once i have the cost.
basically, there's abt 3 costs beside the cost of the product.
Ie. cost of towel USD2.99.
you take 2.99 x 1.45(exchange rate by the spree person) x 0.8 (20% discount)= SGD 3.46
this amt u tele to spree person first.
then there will be a fixed base charge ard SGD$15 shared by no. of spree pple, then there is the variable weight charges by the no. of items i think, this cost is unknown till vpost/cgw billed to the spree org.
then there will be the postage cost that spree org will charge to you (from her home to ur home)
normally i take normal postage, no need to take registered, so far so good.*fingers crossed* kekeke..hope this helps!
