Forest,

Ya lar, so evil hor, but too bad I told him Bb alrd start kicking way before he wakes me up muhahhahahahahaha ;p</font>

 

[pennytan]

busy bee,

I'll be joining everafter with the order. After gg thru the web, tink should be footshipping. Not sure abt the minimum tingy. Coz everafter mentioned will have free shipping if hit SGD 250.

 

[everafter]

Ribenali, no problems..i can wait, u let me knw next week lor..Like wat forest said, we can get free shipping if order more than SGD250, that would be about 4pairs

Everafter,

Thanks. Will get back to u after monday. we cant hit more than $400 hor? if not later kena tax rite?

 

[icylemon]

<font color="0000ff">littlebluey</font>, ya routine check up.

appt at 2.30pm.

 

[everafter]

ruffles, the price varies leh..depends on wat designs u buy..but right now alot of designs hv 15-20% discount and plus free shipping, i think quite worth it

Another note Ribenali, u may view the prices in SGD frm the website, but when i place order, they will charge EUR to my credit card, so u might need to top up abit for the difference on the exchange rate, is it ok with u?

 

[everafter]

Ribenali, yup will keep the amt less than SGD400 in order not to get tax

 

[pennytan]

Everafter,
I'm cool wif that as long as its cheaper than in the shop.Thanks for ur help.

ya lor. Swanky kids like not very reliable leh and their emails sounded a bit aloof. I prefer kids cottage even though i never bought anything from them. Responses are prompt and friendly.

Remember to keep chasing for ur items hor? Let us know once received...will be keeping my fingers cross for you.

forest

<font color="0000ff">Icylemon,

Take care and update us ya!

</font>

 

[everafter]

hey mummies, do we need to get nursing bras beforehand? Some ppl says its better to buy aft give birth cos scared breasts might shrink?

 

[thebusybee]

Everafter,

Think our breast will become even larger after giving birth once the milk supply comes in? Hmmm...
Have already bought a pack of cotton nursing bras from marks and spencer as my boobs has already started to outgrown my old bras. But also still using old bras with extender too. According to the sales assistant we need to have 2 finger space allowance in the cup to be able to wear from pregnancy till nursing period.

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Everafter,

Like you, I've yet to shop for any nursing bras too! Have been using extension all tis while hmmmm</font>

 

[volf20]

Me going Taka additional 10% sale now. Take care ladies!

 

[pennytan]

[bbgoh]

[everafter]

[everafter]

ruffles, update us if any gd discounts at taka sale! esp. pigeon products! thanks

 

[everafter]

delete *double post*

 

[forest]

everafter,
i read in some threads that u r encouraged to get nursing bras beforehand.. cos' when u deliver, u wldnt have the time nor energy to go and buy them le.. esp. during confinement period as well? think i saw that u have to buy 1 size bigger than ur usual size.. for nursing bras..

im contemplating getting them too.. cos' mine also got bigger alittle le..

Ruffles,
wahh.. got more offers let us know hor!

i abit "tui" cos' i just bot from taka so many stuff on tues... but my hub told me not to think lah.. hahahah... :S

Pkum,
i also tend to sweat alot nowadays... i also use deodorant... shd be ok i think..

 

[everafter]

forest, actually nursing bra is meant for easy access for breast-feeding and putting the breastpad izit? i wondering how come cannot use our norm bras?

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">re:nursing bra
For my son, I did bring along nursing bra bcos in the hospital, the nurses will encourage you to bf your bb and with the nursing bra, it will be much easier. Also for the clothes/pyjamas that you are going to bring to hospital, do bring those with buttons opening ones in front for bf purposes. Mrs Wong mentioned before for those mummies who are not wearing those front opening tops, she will ask them to take off the top while bf. </font>

 

[kare2711]

Thanks ladies for your advice. Actually I also don't feel good going to the camp but I feel bad. meaning another teacher has to replace me. Oh well.

Ruffles
Oooh I'm going to check out the sales tonight too. Do report what's good. I also want to know! Not that I have time to check back later

but I can always make another trip to town tomm hee.

Domestic helper
I'm going to get one full time soon. I don't think I will get used to her around for quite a while, but the thought of not having to worry about the house and stuff, and being able to concentrate fully on my baby makes me think it's worth giving up the privacy. I think I will be quite stressed from all the new baby stuff, so it really will help without having to think of other things for a while.

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">everafter, forest
I heard some of the mummies said once they are back home, they would wear those normal bras and come to bf the bb, they would just take off their bra and bf. Not advisable to buy too many nursing bras also cos some pple find it uncomfortable.</font>

 

[pkum]

nursing bra: i think i will buy it in july... i m using the bra extension now...

deodorant: thanks all for ur feedback. i think i will get it today..

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Hi Mummies,

How's lunch?

Pkum,

I agreed with Bbgoh, it shd be saft, am using oso

Anyone going for the YP fair at MS??

Forest,

I thot of last trimester then buy, becos it's the time when the expansion is the greatest ...

</font>

 

[lili_fc]

Nursing bra
i am wearing the nursing bra (from Spring Maternity) cos' heard wired bra, no good for us now.

Guess, will get nursing top before due.

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">re:domestic helper
Although I dont like to stay with my fil and bil's family, but one plus pt is we have 2 maids at home hence I dont have to worry about housework otherwise may have to start looking for one liao. Like one mummy mentioned earlier, having a maid at home is like having an additional head/mouth at home, the expenses will definitely shoot up! Not easy lor. </font>

 

[pkum]

YP fair at MS? YP=?? MS=??

sweat>>> before pregnancy, i never sweat so much. this is the first time i sweat so horribly.. i was a bit taken off...

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">lili
I bought one nursing bra from spring maternity before, but find it not much support and the front is like very loose lah. I only like their tube bra which I'm wearing now. I bought the rest of the nursing bras from perfect mum.</font>

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Pkum,

YP = Young Parents
MS = Marina Sq Atrium

I realised once getting preggie, my body oso feel warm! Normally in office I had to wear a sweater now I dun even nd it and sometimes when my colleagues all wrapped up in cold wear I complain hot somemore diaoz.. ;p

</font>

 

[lili_fc]

mousebb
nursing bra at perfect mum exp?

 

[forest]

Pkum,
same... i never sweat much before pregnancy as well... but well, no choice.. our body gets hotter as the pregnancy progresses...

Littlebluey,
true.. not sure how much the breast will expand.. actually for my bra now... the cup is already full.. (im small to begin with lah).. hahaha.. so, thinking of getting nursing bras to wear since current one is getting tight.. well, maybe go see see look look again then decide bah...

mousebb,
agree with u.. im those kind who prefer not to do housework.. n with baby on the way.. really dont even wanna consider doing housework.. its just me lah, but i will also have less stress if housework is already taken care of...

Diane, Enya,
i asked my pals if they are interested in GAP.. and 1 mummy is interested to order.. but can only give me the order on Mon... if u gals dont mind, i will wait for her order on Mon then place the order by Monday.. so u all can share the shipping costs... let me know if its ok ya..

 

[forest]

Littlebluey,
same for me!!! i never need to wear any sweaters or cardis since i got preggie in the office, whereas my colls are all wrapped up.. i can even wear tube tops when it rains w/o problems... amazing cos' im normally afraid of the cold..

mousebb,
where is perfect mum?? think JJmom or someone recommended maternity house?? im thinking of checking them out this sat... since thats the only wkend off hub has for me until a long time to go... :S

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">lili
I bought almost all my maternity clothes from perfect mum during my 1st pregnancy and they usually have this offer when the total amount you spent exceed a certain amount, then you are entitle to buy those nursing bra at a special rate. I think it was aroubd $24.90 - $29.90. I only bought 4 pieces.

forest
There are a few: suntec city, tanjong pagar, kovan mall and a few more but cannot remember liao. </font>

 

[dimpletot]

<font color="ff6000">hi gals!

I went to Suntec Spring Maternity yesterday - bought one flowery flowy top and one dress.

Quite happy cos more than 50% off both. The $15 pile is not so good cos limited sizes and designs.

Enya,

That pt maid really cannot make it lah. I can iron 5 shirts in 45 mins leh... I think she's wasting your electricity ironing so slow also.

Mummies,

Anyone flying in second trimester? Going on holiday or work trips? I might be going on a work trip.

</font>

 

[blur_p]

<font color="0000ff">Forest,</font>
Guess is the extra blood flow in the body that made ur body hot. Alot of ppl always said that Pregnant Woman are not afriad of cold.

<font color="0000ff">mspiggy,</font>
Guess ur gal must be like Wes. Dun worry too much.

<font color="0000ff">Littlebluey</font>,
Stay +ve too. Dun worry too much. If not, baby come out will have a "worry" face. Just kidding ...

 

[whitepaper]

dimpletot
You going Spain right?
Yep I'm flying in my 3rd trimester! hahaha... Doc says ok le...

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Blur,

I take it easy and never think too much abt it hahahahaha..dun want to worry myself unnecessary as long I learn to control then it shd be ok ^_^ hahahaha ;p

Thanks gal!!
</font>

 

[everafter]

[forest]

mousebb,
perfect mum at tg pagar?? is that the one at amara huh??

blur,

dimpletot, u gg Spain.. have u wondered if u can handle the baggage on ur own.. with a big tum tum huh??

whitepaper, where r u flying to in yr 3rd trimester?

i saw that my project meeting might kick off in July.. but not sure if my "not-so-reasonable" boss will still let me go or not... sigh.. i wish to go leh... cos' that project was my baby since i joined the co... :'(

 

[dimpletot]

<font color="ff6000">whitepaper,

yup. but hopefully PIL don't veto... Doc Wong said ok too - where are you going?

mspiggy,

1.2kg is quite big if you've only put on 5kg so far. but guess that also means baby absorbs very well. hope it's not GD... take care...

on the kiddypotamus (?) swaddle me blanket,

does anyone know whether it is the velcro type? Trying to get one of those so that bb cannot squirm out of blanket...</font>

 

[forest]

everafter,
