(2008/12) December 2008 MTBs
- Thread starter luthadel
- Start date
Meredith: So it seems like there are 3 (reddates is the other MTB) of us at the same stage of pregnancy! Hee...
Btw, i have not started to take fish oil too. Don't worry. In the meantime, just eat more fish.
Those who went to Motherhood fair today, really nothing? If that's the case, then i may not want to go all the way there.
Breast pumps --
So far i've gathered from forums that Medela PIS is the best electronic pump around. But also the priciest! What about Avent ISIS IQ Uno/Duo? Any mommies use this before?
Spaghetti: I agree with you. I just want a healthy & normal baby. Whether it's a boy or a girl, i will still love just as much. My hubby & ILs are hoping for a boy though. Sigh... it adds on to the pressure i feel.

LuthAdel - My GP did not give me lozenges leh. Instead he gave me those Vit C that we can suck on. Cos I showed to my gynae and he confirmed not lozenges... But my gynae gave me one type of cough mixture which I find is very effective - even babies/children can drink one. It is called Prospan Cough Syrup.
Ladies, can add me too!

Hey Spaghetti,
I also agree that boy/girl makes no difference. So I always tell bb, if you are girl, its ok, mummy/daddy loves u loads....
Mummy 30,
My hubby is the eldest son, thus the pressure.. Best part is, she takes no part in helpin to care for the unborn... or even when the child is born... so i dun understand y she must make so much comments.... sigh... in-laws are are to please...
Samantha,
I'm a good size 14/16 now u know... very hard to buy clothes.... pictures are deceiving...

Hi
went Motherhood fair last nite.. Nothing much la.. Went to see how they use the Medela PIS.. quite good.. n its not noisy.. But seem tat only Medela bottles can be used to attached to the pump. I wonder if can use other bottles anot.
Saw the playpen n cot too.. hmm looks not bad.. Not much of stroller there for us to see.. In the end, only get a free Motherhood magazine back =P
Hi ladies
Add me too.. Multiply ID: Jowinlee
Must add if not nothing much to see cos i put restriction ..
Hi Pris
Was msning with u abt the cot n playpen.. Playpen can use till abt 2yrs old while cot till about 4yrs old. At motherhood fair, saw a cot which can make into a junior bed.. looks intereting but i dun like the colour. Most likely will get a playpen and a cot.. one at mum place one at my own place...
Hi funshine
yesyes, i saw it already at motherhood fair at $139 .. looks huge, spacious and sturdy
Hi Jac
its like tat lor.. only son, 1st baby, In laws will prefer boys... but i really dun care.. as long as my baby is healthy.. i believe gals are always closer to their own parents.. hee hee..

eventhough insurance agent very irritatimg.. but i'm seriously thinking of getting one for baby. coz its a good investment. i will start with the life insurance.. so if baby *touchwood* hospitalized, most insurance can cover.. baby hospitalized very siong one..
jowin ah.. i heard the medela is not so compatible with most other bottles coz the neck is bigger or something like that. but must go research more on it. hehe..
girls can dress them up in pretty things and can have nice hair assessories.. hehe.. but hubbie is eldest male of 15 children.. so.. i think to please my FIL will be have son first ba.. haha.. when i went back to visit FIL and MIL in end Mar, they dun really dare to pressure me coz they know i'm also trying very hard liao.. but they did say "big family is good" well.. singapore standard of living too high for me..

Wah, realised that there are some of us here who married only son... My hubby is the only son, but not only child.
Even when we first know that I am preggy, my hubby already commented that his gut feel is that bb is going to be a girl. And yesterday, gynae could not tell still, kept commenting that it is still early. So I guess girl already. Hehe!
Agree with jowin, healthy is most impt (although hindsight is that if boy, at least can reconsider if want another kid! Hahaha! And no pressure if going to have 2nd child.)

your mum will be taking care of your baby? If so, then is better to buy 2 - 1 for your house & 1 in your mum house.
echo
I bought a training pant from bump wear before but did not found useful. Maybe for boy is difficult but girl is easier.

Hi Phylicia
Yup need to research. The next one i wan to see is avent duo..

Girl or boy are still their grandchild lor.. Dote or dun dote on them, is their business as long as mummy n daddy dote on them can liao... But of course if i have a boy boy already, the next baby i will like to have a girl girl...

Spaghetti,
yeah! but the doc can only confirm the nxt visit. hee..during the scan I saw him turning his head towards me and kicking his leg during the scan! so amazing of God's creation.
Pris, Reddates,
maybe we conceived at the same timing too! keke
Hi Phylicia,
Research says that if you ate daily breakfast before you get pregnant, there is a high percentage of boy..not sure how true though..
Btw where did you get to see the daily promotions at the motherhood fair? Is it on the motherhood site?

mum2ndx - multiply is a site where you can upload pics, blog, put video, etc..
Hi gals,
Ate some fried bee hoon,agreed that not so heavy breakfast u will not puke tat easily.
As for kicking feeling, beginning part like something fluttering inside ur tummy, like abt 5-6 mths, u can feel strongly when bb kicks/punch, very hard one, sometimes can see the foot print if really very hard on ur tummy.
I have bought insurance for my boy when he turn 1 mth old, for saving or any hospitalization etc....medical cost for infant r very high, better to take precaution.
My hubby oso only son and 3 sis, but my mil and hubby dun pressure me to have girl/boy. Guess becoz my sil got 5 children altogether, 3 boys and 2 girls. Luckily my mil not those old fashioned one.
Juzyounme,
I'm using Olive Manon olive oil, think cost $40+(it's a gift), quite effective for me, really stop my tummy itch immediately after applying. Think can use those Ginvera or eversoft type, cheap. Olive oil is very gd for stretchmarks.

soya drinks = calcium?
Just wanna share.. when i was attending antenatal last year, was told by the nutritionist that soya milk bought from market (ie. homemade) does not have calcium in it..
if want to, should get those from supermarket where it says "CALCIUM FORTIFIED"..
juzyounme, perhaps u can try those palmer brand?

So, I'm sitting at my desk the when I smell...maple syrup. And the smell was coming from...well, me.
I let Mrs Wong, the latcation consultation at TMC checked my breast. Then she pull my nipple and said i have colostrum. That means my milk supply is producing plentiful.
Man oh man! Alamak. Both my pregnancy i also got maple syrup smell.
Do you gals have it?
