(2008/11) November 2008


Hihi, just came back frm checkup. I having a mickey but need further confirmation.

In my previous checkup wif Dr Tony Tan, he said 80% minnie but now Dr Koh said its mickey.

I hope its mickey cos my hb prefer boy boy..

Peanut, my hb also reluctant to sign up.

Bear, maybe u can check with your gynae the ways to relief the pain and he/she can give u mc to rest also.
 
hi all...

hee.. the last 2 scans, doc say 99% is mickey haha... but got to wait till detailed scan 2 weeks later to confirm lor..

i still thinking to buy which play pen... any idea babycraft is better or Priori? ;p

and any idea detailed scan will take how long??

;p
 
bear
my hubby stopped shopping liao lor cos he only does it on weekends and he coming back this thurs.. And i'm applying for cordlife cos v likely this will be my only child, i dun wan to plan for anymore.

ur spinal problem sounds a bit serious. do u hav see a specialist on regular basis? i can imagine once bb bigger will add more pressure on you
 
great jus finish almost whole packet of chicken rice and my zzz monster is here.. i need to go toilet and close eyes liao..............
 
With Liv's and Bibi's mickeys... the score becomes 11:9 liao
bladers... Need your minnie to bring score nearer. Hahaha...

Bibi, so confirm is Mickey? Can see the thingy sticking out?

wtan, u delivered your #1 at Raffles rite? Can i know wat r t things they provide to u tat u can bring back home? Eg. Baby blanket, mittens..

Re: Motherhood Fair
I bought a lot of diapers for my girl, Huggies, Pureen and Nepia... A few packs for newborn... I bought Nestle Cereal and Gerber baby food as well.

Bear,
Pigeon steriliser can hold all bottles.
 
Hi guys, i hope u had a gd lunch..

Bibi, Peanut, i think my gynae would just say it is normal lor. for him these are considered minor probs... but i do have a regular osteopath so i will be seeing him for this prob.

Peanut, ya since u only want one bb then better bank in this time.
happy.gif


Meowie, thanks! so the rest of the brands of sterilisers cannot hold all bottles?
 
Bear,

Actually avent one also can but you need to remove to bottle-holder. I prefer Pigeon cos it's bigger and can hold more bottles.
 
<font color="0000ff">hi hi ladies..
here's what i found abt some of the Old Wives Tales to share with everyone..some seems interesting..haha..</font>

http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/pregnancy/owt1.htm
http://womens-place.com/pregnancy/oldwives.php
http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/general/aches/old_wives_tales.html

Pregnancy If a pregnant woman is denied a craving, the first place she touches with her dominant hand will become a birthmark on the baby.

If you want a boy, drink cola products, eat more red meats and stick with salty snacks like pretzels and chips.

If it's a girl you desire, both partners should eat lots of vegetables and fish and bulk up on sweets-especially chocolate!

Is it a boy or a girl?

If you're carrying high it's a boy and low, it's a girl.
If you're carrying in front, it's a boy and wide, it's a girl.
If you crave sweets, you'll have a girl.
If you crave meats or cheeses, you'll have a boy.
If you get red highlights in your hair, you'll have a girl.
If your belly gets hairy, you'll have a boy.
Dark nipples mean you're having a boy.
If you have morning sickness early in pregnancy, it's sure to be a girl.
If you look a little "rough around the edges," it must be a girl because girls steal their mother's looks.
If your skin breaks out, you're sure to have a girl.
If your right breast is bigger, it will be a boy. If your left breast is larger, it will be a girl.
If your hands are dry and chapped, it will be a boy.
If your feet are not colder than they were before pregnancy, you're having a girl.
Suspend a needle from some thread and have someone hold it one inch above your hand. If the needle swings back and fort, a girl is in your future. If it moves in a circle, you can count on a boy.
Hang your wedding ring from a strand of the father's hair over your belly. If the ring moves side to side, it'll be a girl. If it swings, it will be a boy. Also, be sure to count the rotations that the ring makes to find out how many children you'll carry in your lifetime.
(alternate version) To predict the sex of a baby: Suspend a wedding band held by a piece of thread over the palm of the pregnant girl. If the ring swings in an oval or circular motion the baby will be a girl. If the ring swings in a straight line the baby will be a boy.
 
bear,

ur spinal problems really sound serious... r u seeking specialist treatment? i am worried during ur last mth will be pretty heavy for u and exert more pressure on ur back. Did u tell ur gynae about ur spinal problem?


peanut,

i also signed up cordlife at the expo fair last week. Did not sign up for my gal so regretted. this preg must sure sign up.


hui,

Something about men leh.... pek chek
 
meowie,

sad.gif


alibaba..
congrats in getting a mickey..did gynae mentioned why the EDD was delayed?usually is earlier i heard..nver heard abt the delaying..if it's according to size..maybe not be v accurate then..

meowie..
oh..u also bot ur girl to see Barney show ah..hee..3.30pm? they really start on time..i m glad my son had fun trying to "sing" along too..lol..hope u r feeling better on the backache..take gd care..

lovedogs..
glad that ur girl is getting better liao..i guess now weather not v gd also..that's why more pple are getting sick..take more fruits ba..or fruitjuices will be gd too..

nikki..
icic..usually with a baby in the family..the routine will be v diff too..got to slowly adjust to get use to it..u monitor &amp; see hw u can cope la..if u r keen to donate ur bb's cord blood, i can pass u the contact for the lady i liase with for my #1..

B2B3M4..
icic..haha..it's gd to have mummies like u here in the thread to share more with us too..on ur experiences..so wat r u ur plans for #3?

bear..
think u got to take gd care of urself..dun over strain ur back..really got to take extra care esp aft giving birth..did the gynae gave u any advice hw to relieve the pain as the pregnancy stage progress?

bibi..
i think Dr Koh might be accurate..coz most friends that saw him mentioned to me that he's q accurate..maybe wait till the next appt then u see wat Dr Koh tell u ba..keke..when's ur next appt?

lilian..
sad to say..RH do not hv any baby hospital bag for us..all is self-provided one..they only give one diaper bag upon discharge &amp; some milk samples..the rest is all provided by us..keke..if u got a chance to go back to RH..do take a hospital tour &amp; u will find out more..apparently they seems to hv only 2 nurses on duty that time when i gave birth to #1..so can u imagine if all the babies cry at the same time..aa..i hv to bring along my own mittens/booties to change for my #1..ops...
 
wtan,

thanks.... hey, sorry to hear abt the mummy.... what happened to her hb? this is indeed very sad...it is so tough to be a single mom...
sad.gif


u delivering at RH? I like the hospital and the location... if u stay in single bedded really machiam like hotel :p
 
minkybear,
itz aloe vera we can't take. Read from a book tat it may cause womb contraction.

wtan,
aiyo.. t mum so poor thing. Somemore 3 kids. sigh...

Will ask abt hospital tour t nxt time i visit RH, probably nxt mth when I go for FA scan.
Dr Koh is pretty 'skillful'... My bb was sleeping during my last scan. Dr Koh put a little more pressure on t probe to wake t bb up! He even managed to make my bb turned to triple confirm its a minnie. I saw my bb yawned after we made her wake up!!! Poor thing...
 
wtan>

Omg, so young past away.. hopefully she will get it thru.. &amp; her family mus be v suportive to her.. lift is unpredictable. we have to cherish wat we have now.

i didnt ask gynae. he oso nv say anytin... i tink few days shld be no problem bah. cos EDD is jus estimated right??
 
Lilian,
wow u saw ur bb yawn?? mus be v cute.. For the last 2 scans, my bb has been facing down cant really see her expression..
 
Hiz all,

Sad to hear abt e mummy whom husband pass away. Hope she can be strong.

belly band/belt: I bought it from Mothercare last monday. UP: $29.90 . Got it with further 20% discount for tat belly band (last monday was the last day sales for tat item)

Stretchmark cream: Bought the cocoa butter stretchmark roll-on from Bodyshop with 15% discount but find it quite sticky. Prefer the Palmers Cocoa Butter.

Babycot: Someone mentioned Baby Hyperstore at Kaki Bukit, Shun Li Industrial Estate. Few units away, there is another one call Baby Kingdom. I find their babycot much cheaper and they having GSS now. My hb say Baby Hyperstore was visited by some Mediacorp artistes and dunnoe issit bcos of tat, their babycot prices quite high.

CordBlood: Went to Motherhood fair on Saturday and sign up for the annual plan on cordblood @ $1050+GST. Never ask for referral. They jus gave me that promo price.

Have a great day ahead!

Lovedogs, Wtan, erm i did ask my gynae if i can use medicated plaster or rubs on my back.. he said inevitably there will be chemicals absorbed through the skin but didn't think there is a major prob to it. i m gonna ask if i can do some yoga and see how. light stretches might help me...

Minkybear, Meowie, i just read Babycentre's tip on how to gain wt. They recommend u take food that are high in fats (the gd fats) like nuts and avocado. So i guess shd be ok to take. anyway, take things in moderation shd be ok.

Wtan, aiyoh so sad.. so young pass away? from illness or sudden death? ya i was just telling another mummy to treasure our health. don't think young means we are invincible. thanks for the old wives' tales.
happy.gif


Jo, so how's the cots there? sturdy? a lot of patterns and designs? bought one yet?
 
Babycots: i've never tot of buying a cot earlier becos his mum a babysitter and there is one cot set up in her room and i tink ther's another one in the storeroom.. was actually tinking mayb jus buy a nice mattress to place over it. Now i better check if there is indeed a standby kept, if not then need to get one, dun wan my bb to share cot with other bb/s she looking after =(
 
just rec a phonecall from clinic, got a bad news.. Im a thalassaemia carrier.. so upset
sad.gif
, now my hb has to do the test too... hope he is not a carrier... Im so upset now
sad.gif
 
mosh
hope for the best.. wont be so zun ba.. My fren also a carrier so she v worried abt the hubby.. luckily he's not. get your husband to do the test asap, tomm morning! otherwise u'll keep worrying and thinking abt it.
 
Hi Mosh, oh dear... there are many types of thalassaemia. some are minor types so there is still chance that ur bb is fine. will keep u in my prayers. when does ur hb has to do the test? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassaemia

Peanut, i think better to get new mattress.. u know how accidents will happen with newborns... a bit squeamsih abt using used mattresses.
happy.gif
 
wtan,
Yeah I brought her to see the 3:30pm one. I didn't expect the response to be so good. Still having backache wor, tink really muz go take up yoga le.
 
bear
yah.. if there is another extra cot then i can jus get the mattress. If no then i need to get a new one cos the one set up in his mum room is used for other bbs which i dun wan mine to share with.. eeerk..
 
Mosh, ask ur hb faster get test done and dun worry too much.

Bear, I intended to buy one babycot from baby Kingdom. I dunnoe what type of wood but it looks quite sturdy. And the one I saw cost abt $359 after discount and is of babycot biggest dimension. It can turn from babycot to playpen, a bed or even a sofa. Which means you can adjust the two frames and adjust bed level to 4 different height. My mum is gg to baby-sit my baby and my dad wanna pay for the babycot and leave it at their place. I'm certainly fine with it. Hehe.
 
mosh, *hug* don't worry too much 1st, let's c what your gynae say when u next c him.

wtan, i din receive your email on the CL recommendation yet. Can u email me again? thanks.
[email protected]
 
Wtan,
so sori to hear abt the mummy's hb pass away.. reali young.. that's y i alwaz say.. we wun knw wat will happen the next min muz treasure watever we have..

Mosh,
1477687.gif
dun tink too much 1st. relax and ask ur hubby go for the test asap and talk to ur gynae..

Jenn,
3 of us have the same date for detail scan.. Spin, u n me :D.. mine is 8.30am
 
Jo, that sounds like a gd buy leh.. the one i saw at Mothercare was made from some teak wood thingy (or something that looks like teak wood) and it cost $560. just have drawers at the bottom. Do u have any ideas how long the sale will last?

JJmom, if Wtan doesn't mind, i will forward the CL recommendations to you.

Re: Detail scan,
last time y detail scan onli like $100 - $120.. then gynae change another ppl to do now cost me 2$200.. duno got wat " hao liao"..last time that scan is in black n out dun this time will it use 3D for detail scan..
 
hi mummies-to-be..
just got a sms frm a mummy friend whose gf went to the wake that this forum mummy's hb died of lung cancer..he's only 36 leh..v ke-xi..hope this mummy friend will stay strong for her 3 kids..youngest is less than 2 yrs at of nw..hope the medical bills isnt that ex for her to bear..
sad.gif


lovedogs..
ya..i think q sad also..one of the forum mummy spotted at the obituary &amp; thot that the name of this forum mummy sounds familiar &amp; names of the kids..even more familiar then we realised it's her hubby aft some verification..the hubby was holding 2 jobs..not easy for the family lo..esp with 3 kids..sigh..life is so fragile..i stayed at 2 bedded the other time when i delivered my #1..this time i hvnt decided to take whc bedded..i visited my gf who also gave birth there at a single bedded..indeed like hotel lo..location is v prime i must say..my mum can cook &amp; take mrt to visit me that time when i delivered #1 then..my colleagues also came to visit me since our offc was at town area then..

lilian..
ya..chk out the beds &amp; also the nursery when u r at RH the next time round ah..ops..Dr Koh managed to "wake" her up ah..aft a few twist..i guess he kinda know hw to chk on them ah..aiyo..so sweet..ur girl yawning ah..hmm..disturb her of her beauty sleep ah..

alibaba..
this forum mummy who hb died i think she's less than 32 yrs old..i cant imagine with 3 kids to take care of &amp; to shoulder all under her own wing in the future..just hope the bill isnt as high for her to bear..hmm..i guess the EDD shd be based on the LMP..of coz +- alittle since v rare most mummies will give birth exactly at the EDD..most might be early too..so just estimation nia..

Jo..
i think most impt is ur like the type of material u r getting for the babycot..like can be converted to what kind of bed aft bb grow bigger..etc...the color to match ur furnitures etc..if u really like it then u can order the babycot to be delivered to u later nearer to ur EDD..coz to me..nw buy too early also like collect "dust" unless u r hardworking to wipe it wkly..hee..whc i m not la..keke..so ask them to deliver early so that u can wipe it out &amp; wash the mattress cover with baby detergent before u delivered then timing will be just nice lo..
happy.gif


Bear..
dun use those chemical medicated plaster now..ya...not gd if being absorbed by ur skin then indirectly passed thru to bb lo..i think u dun over strain urself too much also..back leh..dun play play too..ya..it was q sudden for us since she hasnt been visiting the thread often but we remembered her becoz there's not much mummies with 3 kids in that thread too..also all 3 boys then unique names lo..i cant imagine hw one can cope if the spouse passed away leaving the kids behind..really hope this forum mummy can be strong for her 3 boys..oh, pls help to email to JJmom on my behalf..thks..

mosh..
dun be negative...talk to bb..tell bb not to be affected by u being a carrier..u hv to be positive..remember happy mummy=happy baby..

meowie..
ah..same same la..heng we were there early..coz alot of pple walking in even thou Barney's on stage so rather distracting lo..keke..nice experience lor..my boy was too shy to stand on the stairs like the other kids..did u exert urself somehw? like when carrying ur #1? or carrying something heavy? take gd care leh..

JJmom..
i think i cld hv typed the wrong email add..sorry..

hui..
u r right..life is indeed v fragile..i must learn to appreciate my hubby more..sometimes i can be harsh on him at words..
