Juzyounme,
Oh ya hor. U really dun intend to get CL? It will be tough for the 1st week, but if u bath him on table top, will be diff for u to pour away the water. unless u use a small tub and discard it bit by bit...but still better than to bend over n bath him on the floor. not good for your back...

Hi jowin
Which is your spree thread? I'd considered getting breastpumps from sprees/BPs but in the end decided to just get from FFY instead. A breastpump is quite expensive and I just didn't feel safe buying it from an unknown person. I feel, at the end of the day, might be safer and more reliable to buy from a proper shop than a spree or bulk purchase.
I went to FFY at Paragon yesterday and bought the Medela PISA backpack. It comes with 15-month warranty and a local adaptor. Plus the salesperson also gave me a short demo and explanation of how to assemble and use the pump. I felt it was worthwhile to pay a bit more and get some service and assurance.

piGgiCia, Ivy, Santorini ,
The baptism cert is impt if you wanna send ur kid to a missionary school... but u must go back to ur parish church to get an updated cert (tells you when u had ur 1st communion, confirmation, etc) when you want to get married in a church (which need not be ur parish church)
My fren was baptised in Indonesia and she had to go back to that small rural parish church to get the cert before she can get married in SG. Super troublesome...
They need to know that you have never married in any church before...

Besides the baptism cert, also need the church of your baptism to certify that you have not been married before....and that you are allowed to get married....so in future your kid will have some procedures to go through before getting married....
getting married in a different country can be done but a little mah fan....

Hippo,
I also had a few episodes of diarrhea when my tummy keep churning...i check with my dr several times, he said our stomach very sensitive during pregnancy, some foods can be too rich for us....so tend to have diarrhea....if one day or two...should be o.k...if your cramping is with diarrhea should be o.k too...dun think that is contractions...

Summer: For Goo.n diaper, i ordered together with my friends cos her boy uses that brand. Very good reviews from her. For Nepia, you can get the NB size pack from Meidi-ya or Isetan supermarket.
That's where i bought mine.
Adelchia: My EDD is 10 Dec...what about yours?
Snowger: Haha, ya lor...i was wondering whether Mt A knows i really booked a room or not!!! Not a word from them!
Nepia diapers (NB size)aren't available at NTUC...only S size onwards.

I didn't get my pump from a spree but bought from a shop in Paragon. They directly import from US, so it's cheaper than Robinsons, who get it from local distributor. I got my PISA backpack for $599, inclusive of local warranty and a local adaptor.
The shop name is called First Few Years and they are located on the 5th floor of Paragon. I think they also have a branch in KKH? You can google for their website and contact info.

Echo: Aiya, you should have told me then i can lend you my VIP card for FFY so you can get a little bit more discount for your pump!
AdelChia: Heh, unless i'm overdue & your baby decides to come out early! Haha...
Llig: I still don't know if i should pack 2 piece or romper for Preston...maybe will pack BOTH. After all, they do take up very little space.
Emeraldbride: Wow, thanks for sharing the video!
Are you still going for facials? I miss them cos i have stopped going since i was 5 months preg. Couldn't lie down comfortably for long. I also spent a fair bit today so i must be more watchful of my shopping expenses until the next payday.
Oh ya, i bought my bedroom slippers today!!! I went to Muji & chanced upon them. They were folded up in a drawstring pouch & quite cute.
Not the super thick type of bedroom slippers but thicker than those FOC type usually found in hotels.

Good Morning all.
I'm feeling sleepy too. *yawn*
Had a full blood count done yday cos of my giddy spells..damn annoying cos i can sometimes feel the room spin even when i lie down. haiz.. Doc thinks that its the balancing thingy in the ears and that i might have an ear infection so to rule out anemia, did the blood test. Results on Thu..

Morning ladies
Felt so tired today.
I'm getting really annoyed with my MIL now. Ever since my HB told her that baby may be induced, she has been going non stop in telling me that Induced Birth are extremely painful etc. This has been going on on daily basis and i'm just holding myself for that little longer before I snapped at her.

G'morning!!
Long black dress for dnd sounds nice.. will be flattering... =)
But sometimes the maternity ones can be quite expensive.. If you can still wear normal maxi dresses.. will be cheaper.. Like hula&co selling dresses for about $50... then can still wear when trying to lose weight after giving birth...
Ivy... If have ballet flats... then wear that one cos birkins a little bit too shabby.. even those with sparkles...

The staff at FFY wouldn't give me a demo of the breastpump until after I'd bought the set. But once I'd paid, she opened up the box and showed me how to assemble and use the pump.
loveangel
Thanks for your offer of the VIP card! So sweet of you
Anyway, now I also have the card. So if any other mummies want to buy stuff from FFY, can just let me know

Loveangel,
My hb did tat once... I gave his pillow a small tug then he shifted position n stopped. I tried it many times on my granny n it works! Usually pple snore more when they sleep on the back + they hv sinus (blocked air ducts)!
Ivy,
My co D&D seldom pple dress up. U can wear what u usually wear to work lor. Put a nice shawl (with sequins) if u hv. Some "perk-me-up" make up (i.e. shimmery make up) n u'll be ready to ROCK!
For additional WOW, u can go do ur hair lah...
Adelchia,
Yes. The FIB card is essentially useless unless u take up all the disc which the card offers (e.g. signing up with cordlife,etc).
Plus u go Mt A rite? (no rm disc...) Btw, u harvesting ur bb's cordblood for private storage or donating?

Induced labour tend to be more painful... My fren had done both natural and induced (both without epidural). She said she nearly want to die for the induced birth... was sooo desperate that she wanted to get an epidural but it was too late... she was almost fully dilated!!... But with epidural shouldn't be a problem!!

LuthAdel,
for my last delivery, I was induced .. but nothing happened (lol) .. suffered for nothing almost the whole nite - my cervix remained closed. Early the next morning, the effects of the induced labour wore off and I was able to ear breakfast happily. Quite pissed I went thru the contractions for NOTHING.
After breakfast, my contractions came on naturally and my water broke .. and shortly thereafter, I gave birth.
So u never know, the induction might not work for you if it's not meant to be.

hmmmm ... it was about the same for me, the pain I mean. Just that it kinda dragged because there was no progression of my labour.
I think it tends to feel more painful for most people cos it's chemically induced and therefore more intense? sounds logical.
