Someone mentioned something abt flat/short nipples a few days ago... saw that mendela and avent has this gadget to wear during pregnency & b4 bf to "pull" out the nipple, supposed to help inverted and/or flat nipples. They have different names for it, think mendela's one is called nipplette.
gelato the waist bandit thingy is also called a belly belt. Can buy from mothercare $32 - slightly more ex than Moms in Mind but comes with 3 panels (white, black & blue), 2 button extensions and 2 hook extensions. I've been using it. My only complaint is that the smallest hook extension is still too large for me so currently I can only extend my button bottoms. And I dun have many tops that are long enuff to cover the zip area (cuz can see that it's not zipped properly) so had to go shopping for more tops.
babystarlet i'm thinking of getting breast pumps but not decided btwn avent and mendela and also the dual or single ones.. hubby got a shock at the prices.. lol

rachel my gyne is Dr Kee Wei Heong, can update for me? thanks!
samval congrats too! Last visit @ 17 wks, my gyne stopped measuring bb's length liao, he said length won't be accurate in 2nd trimester onwards already cuz usually the bb is curled up. Instead will monitor growth by measuring head circumference and later stage, length of thigh bone. Head circumference was 3.9cm but dunno how much growth cuz this is the first time he measured it.
dazed yup, breasts aren't spared from stretch marks either... been faithfully applying stretchmark cream.. i dun need more to add to my collection!
Went for tour at MtA and TMC on Sat... very impressed with the Premier Rooms at TMC but it's way too expensive, almost 2x more ex than the usual rooms which were ok but felt that generally TMC is more cramped. Hubby preferred Mt A.. me not decided yet.. Did anyone see the normal rooms at Mt A? We only got to see the family suite cuz all the rest of the rooms were occupied. The suite is nice lah.. but i dunno if the 1-bedder will be just as nice, minus the extra space.
