Jenn,
I only took her standard package. Erm not really lose weight lah, but more of getting rid of ur water retention and gas in tummy.
I went for Rustic Nirvana after that.
Wtan,
Yes, money is worth spending on CL leh. At least we can rest well and need not worry about housework. Baby also well taken off. My CL even cooked for my hubby, washed and iron his clothes.

Congrats BabyZel and Pkum on your Minnies!Now can go buy girl girl stuff.
JJmom: I will be using cloth nappies in the morning and mammy poko diapers at night(my friend's reccomendation) during confinement. But once I start working, most prob would switch to diapers.
Heard MIL say that cloth diapers are better as they allow more airflow, lesser chance of diaper rash. But very troublesome to wash.
I may be going to the fair on Sat too
Pkum:
I bought both Avent Isis Manual and got a friend to buy Ameda dual Electric from UK at SGD $230. It's much cheaper there. Electric is faster as it clears both breasts at the same time, and if you are a working mom. Manual is good if you are not in a hurry, or occassional use. e.g. if you intend to be a SAHM. HTHs

Bear,
Maybe you can ask for recommendation and source around for other CL just in case.
wtan,
She's charging me 1.8K. But will be giving her an ang bao @ the end of confinement. Better to call the CL and confirm leh. If can, can try to meet up with her and have a chat. Can ask her what are the things that you need to prepare for confinement (eg, what herbs to buy, etc)

Su Mei,
I've added u in Yahoo Messsenger. Mine is: [email protected]
Peanut,
Did you pay the "OSCAR package with detailed scan(20 weeks)" when you did the OSCAR at 12 weeks? I think my bill was about $420 which I did the OSCAR 1st at 12 weeks. I checked w the nurse and she said that this $420 package will include another test at 20 weeks. A little confused..
CL:
I think $1.8k is reasonable and heard that some confinement agencies charging $2k. Also we are supposed to give ang bao before & after confinement?

Kaya,
Another alternative is to switch to cheaper brand like pamper for baby in the daytime and mammy poko in the night. For the 1st 2 weeks baby poo is super black and sticky which is very difficult to wash. Further more need time to adjust to new lifestyle with a newborn so maybe can save time on washing nappy.
Re:Breast pump
The breast pump you got from UK does not come with any warranty right? I'm thinking of getting my friend to purchase but warranty is the issue.

hi nikki,
i limit my tea intake to 1 cup a day (incl. ice lemon tea,oolong tea, green tea). but i completely stop taking coffee. never much of a coffee drinker anyway. shouldnt be a prob, as long as its not taken excessively. most impt for any food is moderation.
peanut,
me too!! hubby said somehow the way i walk also starting to look a lil like preggie lady. and he said my tummy really obvious. i think from hereon the tummy will really start to grow quickly..
karen,
i had e same experience bout 2 weeks ago. i was having a terrible headache and finally at the end of the day (during a work meeting) i had to rush to toilet twice to throw up. first time i threw up since preggie..
CL: I still have no clue whether to get a CL still..but being a 1st time mummy, i am totally clueless. MIL invited me to stay at her place but hubby said we might end up having differences in opinions on certains things. so to prevent it best to stay at our own place. maybe see if my mum can help a lil..

Sumei, i prob would wanna get some samples from my gynae first. Actually drinking cow's milk isn't gd. Most Asians are allergic to cow's milk. I am one of them. So if you wanna drink milk just for calcium then u are better off taking other type of food.
Such allergies can be passed to the bb..
Aft saying so much, i still love milk. have been drinking it since young and although it gives me allergies, I just bear with it lor.

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it, I am a 1st time mom so blurblur.
Maybe when I see the black tar, I will end up use disposables all the way too.
The Ameda pump I ordered from this site using my sg credit card but delivered to my friends UK address.
http://www.nctsales.co.uk/
Yep, there's no warranty as its an overseas purchase, thats the disadvantage. But I am willing to overlook it as I save abt $130. Now I am very poor lady liao, so no choice... hahah..

Thanks a lot Wtan. looking forward to ur mail then.
Kaya, why did u choose Ameda? any reasons u can share with us? have u calculated how much is it to ship it over to S'pore? cos i m doing the same for the Medela PIS.

so the detailed scan can be quite scary.. heard it takes quite a while and i can imagine lying there anxiously hoping no bad news..
Those under Dr Joycelyn Wong will notice she super "worst come to worst".. she told me now confirm gal can get bb clothings but dun get cot/stroller etc until detailed scan is being done.. becos in case any serious abnormality abortion is stil possible.. aiyor..

Re: Confinement lady
Urgh, dunno what happened but the person that said ok to doing my confinement is actually some sort of an agent!! Through some searching, i managed to speak to a mum that used the CL before and i spoke to the CL directly. The CL said she is already taken!!! now i m left with no CL. so annoyed!
Peanut, I think Dr Wong is just being safe lor. U know Dr Theresa Cheng? she is a worrier.. she made my fren go for her detailed scan earlier becos the doc feels that the bb's heart got prob! in the end the bb was perfectly alright.
Sumei, i was so annoyed with the CL issue that i couldn't finish my lunch.. now got gastric pain.. feel like puking. >.<
