Giggler, that's great man! Ya, Dr Chan has good reasons for wanting us to keep our weight down. Do you feel like you HAVE to watch your weight when you were under Dr Chan? I feel the pressure le... hahaha! Now you are with another gynae is your weight gain the same?

Sus, yay! you, cheekygal and me are in the "featherweight" category for our babies. Hope they start putting on weight from now.
Pinkie, I didnt feel the pressure cos my wt gain was never above 2kg every mth lah. But my col felt the pressure cos she had wt gain of 3kg... hahaha.... This preg I ate alot more and wt gain alr 6kg now leh. Dun think I can maintain my record of 8kg in total, just praying hard that I put on less than 10kg

Giggler, I tell you hor, I purposely try to schedule apptment in the morning cos weight increases throughout the day. Got one time I weigh at home in the morning and then I weigh again in the afternoon at Dr Chan's place, I was heavier by about 1.5 kg! So that day kena scolding ! Hahahaha! So now I prefer to go in the morning.

Autumn, Piyobaby, ya actually knowing the gender means the fun starts earlier - hubby and I have a lot of fun buying clothes for the bb. Next one, hope it will be a girl, shopping will be even more fun!
giggler...the tummy can be due to the expansion of the womb so take a longer while to get back in shape...
pinkie...the fun sure come equate wif the spending too....cant imagine hw much more we will buy shd it be a girl...hw to resist the cute little things a bb girl can have..haha

Piyobaby, from what I read, seems like you managed to control your baby expenses very well - normally don't hear of you buying many clothes la. Think you will be quite ok even if girl.

sus: They do have a package, which I took up last time with my first, but as this time I am actually going to give birth overseas, I didnt sign up for the package. I am paying about $60+ dollars per visit, which includes normal 2d scan. But it does not include vitamins. I will be leaving November end to where hubby is working =) Wished to give birth here though..as already comforable with my gynae!

Sus,
Oh, 2 kg/month. Yay,, I don't feel so bad after all. I gained 2 kg last month. Previous months around 1 kg each only. OK. Back to my control diet so that I don't over-gain
.
mo3,
Aiyoh, you ordering already! I'm so not ready! Just managed to repair my boy's cot so that it can be passed down to this baby. Next task, tidying up the 'guest' room and refurnishing for 2 boys.
piyo,
You should get some mattress protector for cots. Usually some sort of vinyl. But gotta check the size. Try Robinsons. But maybe you can first try the usual cheaper kid's shops - Kiddy Palace, Baby's Kingdom, Toys R' Us. I've been using one bought from the US since I was there 5 yrs ago. It completely encases the mattress and zips up. Fortunately, I bought 2, and still have one to spare for this baby. The present one is torn already. Bbs do pee and poo out of their diaper (leakages) and having a protector is great - just wipe down with dettol. Most of the protectors sold here are just placed over the mattress and secured round the corners like a fitted sheet. Must try to get those not so noisy types, and not so hot.
You'll need a few sets of bedsheets. Cotton is best cos it's easy to wash and breathable and least likely to cause allergies.
Autumn Leaf, sus,
Actually, KKH has changed their package recently. They no longer have the antenatal package where you pay a lump sum for 10 visits. That was quite a good scheme. Now they just have a pre-pay scheme where you can save time after your gynae visit by not having to wait for the billing and appointment queue. Can just go home right after seeing the Dr. Not really worth it, so I didn't sign up this time since the appointments are fixed for you and if you want to change, gotta ring up after that. The only perk is a $100 voucher for the KKH pharmacy AFTER you deliver. I pay around $70 per visit including urine test, for my gynae who's a Senior Consultant.
Autumn,
Where is your hb? So exciting! You're relocating?

almost a week has passed since the last visit. hai... and i'm still unhappy abt not being able to see my baby on the scan. wonder how is she doing now, how heavy, whats her size etc. the suspense is killing me... i hear all of you talking abt ur checkups i lagi more heart pain that i don't know anything abt my baby at all
discussed with hubby liao. gonna give him another chance. tmr will call up and ask if the machine is ready for scan then go down. if he dare to give me attitude problem again, then i'm gg to make a huge fuss and leave the clinic. not gg to give hubby face liao. so what if he's his fren. cannot like that de ma, right?
