Breastpumps
I tried Avent, both manual & auto & also Ameda. Felt Avent more comfy coz of their massage pads on the funnels. I was nearly in tears when I tried Ameda, hee! But if u jus stick to 1 brand, your breasts will eventually get use to it.
Dreamyjo
Your hub so nice! Not sure if yoga really helps but my previous class who had their #1 all had short labours. Mine abt 4.5hrs. Do u feel more motivated now? Hee.. Btw, how will thyroid affect u now?
Haru
No worries, dun hav to reprint. u can use subsequent receipts as long they r from Dr Chan. We only can claim $450 under him, ezit har? I'm oso seeing him.. mayb we met before hoh?
JJmom
We are referring to Shambhala @ Forum. Meowie was kind to post the promo details early tis morning, mayb u can scroll up if u keen.
It is flexible, can go either thur nite (6.45pm) or sat afternoon(12.30pm) or even both days per wk. Dreamyjo can only make it Sat coz of work & I need my hub to take care of #1, so Sat is better for me too. But before register, hav to get green light from gynae ya..

Hello,
I was out of office till now for some event.
Baby's Movement:
My BB also more active at night/early morning. According to the antenatal class teacher, she said this is usually the case as that's the time Mummy is free and resting. In the day, we are focused on other stuff so BB either move less or we just don't notice. But when we lie in bed at night, BB knows its the time he/she can "talk" to mummy.
PIS:
Bear, so you got your set already? 2008 version? Have you gotten the adapter? I want to confirm that got suitable adapter then I buy. I very kiasi one. Lolx. Cos 2008 version is 9V and not 12V like the 2007 version.

cookie,
i was in tears when i tried the medela. same same, i suit avent pumps and no problem using avent. Thats why i think must try out first before investing heavily in a dual one. I did not invest in dual one. bought avent single electric but always end up using the manual avent instead as i take ages with the electric...

HI Mummies
I have been a silent reader of this Nov'08 thread for quite a while already, but too lazy to post, heehee..
I am expecting my #3 kid, due date should be around 25th Nov08.
Just wanna know if anyone has gained only about 2 kg todate (I am about 18/19 weeks?). Going for my detailed scan only next week, but cant help feeling a bit worried, though this is my #3. Sigh, being a mummy is a lifetime of worries. From day of conception till the day I deliver...

mosh,jenn,happy>> i supposed 4 of us will be SAHM?? anymore? we can meet up mah!! then we will not be 'yellow face women' already i dun put on make up since pregnant le. my MIL even ask me to put on lipstick! i will still go for facial like now. mani/pedi sometimes do at home myself.
enne,
i try not to think abt it now loh...juz let this to be a concern after confinement period
hui,
envy u leh...only 1 kg? wow!!
fifi, haru,
really depends on individual as I have many frens who loves medela. that's why i bought it in the first place. I was lucky that a fren gave me an avent manual. So after i delivered, I tried medela, i cried leh... i wanted to give up liao..then 2 days later, tried, same thing...so painful and made my nips sore... then i remembered the avent manual, tried it and it was very good and no pain loh.. very good to stimulate my letdown. So i went to buy avent single electric. But in the end, always end up using manual as my hands are like faster.
Hospital do renting. So maybe can rent from hospital to try medela first. If suitable, then invest in the medela PIS. If not, then can try avent manual first. If suitable, then invest in the Avent dual ($799 leh...so must sure try first)...

Hello guys!
Olwen, this bb wasn't really planned. when i got the offer to further my studies, i talked to a lot of my married female cols. i asked them wat's more impt, studying or starting a family. deep down inside i want a kid more than anything. but all told me to just get my MSc and then start a family. Who knows, co offered me a chance to do PhD. then everybody started telling me i m stupid to study halfway. Now really no mood to study. cos i always wanted a bb. Plus i m the first in the co to be on such a programme so i really worked like hell. So tired of it all, and i still got 2.5yrs to go. sigh.. i feel miserable everyday. Its like knowing u have to deliver a BIG proj yet u don't have time or resources to do it. When we work, aft work most of us can switch off, go home and spend time with our families, watch tv and such.. i still have to study, clear work emails, draft presentations/ papers, do my own research readings blah blah blah... i feel very depressed.
Fifi, adaptor can just get anywhere. just bring the pump to any home fixed shop and ask around.
I guess its really up to u. for me if really cannot then i will sell it away lor.
Haru, i think u can afford to wait on the breastpump.
i KS mah.. cos fren in US so just ask him to buy for me.

olwen, i'm working in the SIA building very near you
Ya, i heard about the avocado drink, some of my colleagues like it. But i had yet to try. will try it someday. Today just so happen my colleague is busy and couldnt tabao for us. In the end, the old admin auntie volunteer to tabao and my colleague ask me to go with her. I had to help her carry lor. One hand carry 6 tou huas, another hand carries 3 porrige, quite heavy leh and the auntie walks so fast. It hard for me to catch up. i kept falling behind her.
cookie, tat's what i heard too. 4 hrs of labour natural w/o epi somemore. Are you all natural for your prev birth. 4.5h is really fast. I'm very motivated now cos i want an all natural birthing experience and hope it be a smooth and quick one.
Regarding the thyroid, i had hyperthyroid previously. Heart beat fast and hands will tremble. So just now, a bit concern as my hands are shaking quite badly and afraid that thyroid condition will relapse. But i think its because i over exert myself this afternoon that's why my hands shake bah. I had to think positive. Anyway, maybe will ask for a blood test again to clear things up.

Sunshinekid, welcome!
Breast pumps : I stubmle on this webbie while surfing the net for bp. They have demo units for you to try out the different breast pumps and you decide which best suits you. http://www.breastfeeding.org.sg/demo-pumps.html. The catch is if you have not given birth, you can only test it on your skin and not your breast and personally i think it defeats the purpose lor. So recommendation is try after you had given birth. I have been doing alot of thinking. I think i will not buy at this point cos like lovedogs say you never know which suits you. My dh friend lend me the avent electric and if its not suitable may try the demo set after giving birth before deciding which brand to purchase. or perhaps like lovedogs say rent from the hospital.
bear, for the yoga, nothing is finalised yet. i'm the only one going to the trial class this sat. If i like it, i will continue to go next sat. cookie may be going next sat. Meowie may join next sat but not sure yet. i will email you the details in case you interested. As for pilates, im not sure le.

cookie, for your previous birth, when you start your pre-natal yoga? 4.5hrs labour really short leh, and i hope mine is like that too. Do you practice @home or only on once a week basis. If i will to start now and continue @once a week routine, do you think its enough, i'm in my 21 weeks now? prior to my pregnancy, i did practise some yoga but not regular lah.
