hi mummies...
i am now 12 weeks and 3 days... on my 12th week i check my bb is about 5.3cm... wah .. wintertime.. ur bb is huge... hehehe
anyway... my tummy is still as flat as before i got pregnant... just that my boobs getting bigger... nobody believes that i am already 3 months pregnant.. =( any body has the same "problem" as me? my mum said when she was carrying me.. she only showed baby bump when she was 5mths pregnant... could be hereditary u think? my fren who just a week difference is obviously pregnant.. i am kinda envious.. but my bb is growing beautifully.. that's what doc said..
am going for my first yoga lesson next week.. hope i am not alone with the flat tummy..

Hi Cindy,

Cindy,
forgot to mention, i use VPost, and there is a 12% discount on shipment charges if you have UOB Credit Card
Guest123,
actually big boobs also not as good la.. i am a C-D cup before i got preggie. its not easy to buy bras, like when u go for sales from metro, Isetan, robinson. they normally do not have C cups let alone D cups. those big cups size are like granny bra.. so ugly.. i know i can find bigger sizes bras but the prices are ridiculous!
My hubby told me no need to spend so much on these kind of lingeries cos they won't stay on me long before he takes them off.. hahahahaha

I thought of buying them one shot to save time and trouble and they are nice too... Just scared that they dont fit (too big) me as i am really petite..
Nana

Lenny
I heard about the 12% off from UOB fr my colleague too but she is not sure when the promotion ends.
Lenny, i farted alot too...
Fairymoss
ya Gap is nice. i clicked alot fr gap and old navy. just cant stop! I thought of capping the budget too. Am not sure how much to spend for the whole pregnancy so was asking you mums.. at least now i have a rough guage on how much should i spend..
I cant wear most of my clothing not becos i grow too fat cos my clothing all tight fitting and small size... so cant hide the little bum..
I bought two pants from maternity house and one costs S$59.90 and the other S$53.90. I love Gap and old navy. cheap and modern. Should have gone that earlier.
I do not know how to use Vpost too. my colleague used before. she will help me..

I am on the plump side and with Short (near shoulder-length) hair, no specs, hb wears specs. Do identify me should you wish to.
Me yet to turn 30, That's why doctor never ask me to do any tests? But i was heavy smoker before i was pregnant wor...wonder if will affect BB, quite worried...Any idea if A.L. Lim is part of the FBI scheme, cos if not then delivery no discount? Hmmmm....means if i dun have to go OSCAR test and A.L. Lim not in the scheme, then take up FBI also wont save $$$ cos i dun intend take Cordlife. Hmmm...Now gonna be jobless liao, abit "neow"..keke

Aiyoh, all talking about shopping already....
Online shopping very scary de, will click and click and click more than you intend to buy. Alot of credit cards liaise with shipping agents to ship direct from US to SGP liao, i think apart from UOB - HSBC, and Citibank also have their own promotions.
Me feels more comfy with US sizes too, cos TW/HK/China clothings tend to be smaller than stated.

lenny, u are so funny!!!! hahaha. after preg, i dun bother to wear nice lingerie anymore, cuz feel so lousy, and anyway wear also hubby won't be able to appreciate, haha. I'm a "touch-me-not" now.
The sale section clothes are worth buying but then regular ones still ex if add on delivery charges and exchange rate. i think i restrict myself to clearance section only.
this one is nice but only got L size and above. Mummies out there if got your size, maybe can buy?

Guest123,
No, you have to register via the Credit Card Website to obtain a US Address, just like Vpost. But they ship not using Vpost, but another agent.
See the link below, cos I don't want explain wrongly:
http://www.citibank.com.sg/SGGCB/APPS/portal/loadPage.do?tabId=home&path=/promo/det/cc_globeshopper.htm&CMP=BAL-SB02
Hope this helps! I have not tried though and don't know if cheaper than UOB promo...

Ladies..
The flat rate shipping cost from Gap is becos i use Vpost, they sent to US address. if send direct to Singapore, it may cost more. Check properly ok?

wintertime, my first one i did use cordlife but now for this one, think will still opt for it cause in real case of emergency, how are you to decide who to use it on? and it's only a one time usage, cannot keep de. So i tihnk it's safer to do it now again, and not to blame myself even though it's the second one... hehe..
anyone here if wanna do cordlife and willing to be recommended by me lemme know okay haha cause i think if i recommend you (since i'm existing customer) and then both of us can enjoy some benefits... hehe...
sun:: this you can think of it as insurance loh ahhaa.. to me, paying for insurance also very taxing on savings but at least i feel safe. HAHAHA.

Hi princess,
thanks for the advice. anyway Dr. Lim's delivery charges consider very cheap liao, don't expect got discounts also. So i can enjoy the tests discounts and the hospital room discounts. As for PD, i think TMC too inconvenient for me, i should be looking around at my area.

Hi MTBs,
those who don't wish to keep the cordblood, can consider donating...
http://www.scbb.com.sg/2_programme.html
As for me, I need to find out more details about the costs first before deciding...

Lenny, i'm very blur, never ordered before through vpost. I just registered an account with Vpost and they have given me a US address for shipment of the goods. Then how do I continue from there? I still got to check out the items from Gap issit? Then they charge to my credit card in USD? After that, what do I do in Vpost? How to calculate the shipping cost when it's a mix of different apparels. I dunno the actual wt or volumetric wt. If it's too ex to ship over, then I may drop my order.
Lenny, how much is your shipping from US to SG via Vpost for that 4 items? It looks like I won't be able to know the shipping charges till I have checked out and paid for the items in Gap site using credit card. Cuz with the invoice then can submit to Vpost, like that I can't know the shipping. if too ex, then it may not be worthwhile to order. I'm interested in 10 items and total cost is USD168.

Fairymoss,
My shipping is $32.21 for VPost for the five items that i bought after less 12% discount with my UOB Card. Motherhood.com & Gap charge me USD7 each cos i ordered from 2 diff websites.
The US address they give you, you will use it as your shipping address when you put in the details for check out. there are instructions on the Vpost website that u can read on.

Hi MTBs,
I just got my credit card bill today on my Maternity clothing.
For 6 pieces and Vpost delivery charges, I paid a total of $179.37. I was charged by UOB the conversion rate of USD 1.00 = SGD 1.411026.
So it works out to be SGD 29.90 per piece of maternity wear that i bought.

RE: Cordlife
My close gal friend is a doctor in UK. She doesnt think that private banking of cord blood is necessary at the moment. Though we are told that cord blood/ stem cells may in future help to cure several diseases, this research is hampered by the ethical concerns and many countries have actually banned the research on stem cells. Think i also saw that Italy banned private cord blood banking.
At this point in time, cord blood would never be useful to even the child if diseases are found when he or she is below (cant remember what age). The child would most probably need stem cells from other sources. Think was reading a website, the chances of a child needing his or her own cord blood is 1 in 5000? or even more... cant remember..
She recommends we read up the website on www.virginhealthbank.com for more information and also advocates donating cord blood so that there is more chances for use. Dont know man... but if a doctor also doesnt believe in private cord blood banking, u think we should bother paying to do it?
