I am also 36 weeks liao! So how was the consultation with Dr Chan? Did she say that your bb is engaged yet? Mine is not, only head down.
Actually I also have the same questions as you regarding the breastpump. If TMC charges for everything, maybe they will charge us for sterilizing tablet. I also dunno if bringing the breastpump is useful since I also dunno whether I will have milk. But I'll still bring anyway.
Need some advice here. After sterilizing the electric breastpump, the manual said it must be dry before use. How to dry it? drying rack? or wipe with tissue? no matter what method, wouldn't it defeat the purpose of sterilizing already?

I also have difficulty sleeping at night. Tummy so heavy, cannot turn easily, always ended up with numb arms cos I lie on one side for too long. Only when I need the toilet then I roll down the bed, which is also difficult.
Lemontree,
re: bringing breastpumps to hospital.. what I used to do is to borrow the hospital's breastpumps. They are more powerful and effective in simulating the suction of baby, so that helps to simulate the milk supply. I know KKH and Raffles hospital do provide that FOC (KKH will bring the dual pumps to your bed whereas Raffles provide at nursery). You might want to check with TMC if they provide such service. I would also bring my pumps along and try to pump it every few hours as your baby would be very sleepy and may not be able to latch on well initially.
The electric pump device has to be kept try. suppose you meant the funnels? I usually shake it as dry as possible. When baby is older about 3-4 mths, I would use a hot towel to wipe the water droplets away.
I personally do not like the smell of the sterilizing tablets, tastes very funny.. when i return to work, I uses the microwave to sterilize the funnels.

To add on..
By the time I return to work, baby is about 3 to 4 mths. I have 3 sets of funnels. So, what I do is to sterlise them at home and kept them in air-tight container. The 3 sets lasts me through the day. Hence I do not have to spend time washing and sterlizing them in office. When nec, I use microwave or hot water...

Hi all, i MISS the fried durian so much! Kept "imagining" it in my mind
Juz back fm gynae, he's put on 500g since 2 wks go, so now he's 2.9kg, not engaged yet at 36wk3d. Gynae say to start excercising, e.g. walking & swimming, sit-ups is good, to train stomach muscles so am gonna start practicing getting up the centre, instead of rolling to my side to get up from bed like what Mrs Wong taught. Oh yeah, Agnes&Teddybaby, i've emailed u the pix & video
Other mummies, juz lemme know ur email addy
Asura&Sun, thanks for organising, i had lotsa fun

Thanks for the advice. I also do not like the smell of the sterilizing tabs. But I suppose I have no choice. I will be delivering at TMC, and they charge for everything, even the rental of the container to sterilise anything, I heard, for $10.
As for returning to work, if I manage to succeed in breastfeeding, I will buy quick clean bags to put in the microwave. One bad thing is that my office's microwave is very dirty....See how first.

anyway do post the photos and share pls.. wanna see all mommies' tummy! heee...
anyway do post the photos and share pls.. wanna see all mommies' tummy! heee...
hello mommies,
I just saw my gynae this morning at 36.5weeks. My bb girl is now 2.775kg. He says she's on the big side, probably around 3kg or so at delivery. Big for my size I guess cos I am very petite. Was 39.5kg before preggie and 152cm tall only. My weight is now 53.5kg, gained 14kg so far. Alamak Hope I don't exceed even my revised weight gain target of 15kg. Looks like I will.
Finally bought my medela AC adapter for my USA set of Medela PIS breast pump from The First Few Years at Paragon. $85 for one stupid adapter ... waaa heart pain.
Re: false labour
Yesterday was a baaaaaaaaaaad baaaaaaaaaaad day. Previously I wasn't really sure what some of you mommies meant when you said Braxton hicks. But guess what, I experienced a full onslaught of the braxton hicks contractions yesterday. In hindsight I have experienced the same before, just very rarely and not so intense. Yesterday though, OMG ... started since morning and progressively became more and intense as well as frequent. By night time I was actually in pain most of the time. Hubby even changed his mind about dinning at Vivo; he was worried about the crowd should anything happened. Hehehee The moment I got back I put in the last few extras that I want in my hospital bag, and laid my bb's waterproof sheet on the bed in case waterbag burst at night.
Turned out to be false alarm indeed cos nothing happened of course. In fact today I hardly experienced any braxton hicks. Hehehe What an experience.
In case anyone is wondering, it feels as if someone put a big balloon in my lower belly, and then proceed to pump air into the balloon. The balloon got bigger and bigger and finally was soooooooooo stretched that I felt as if my belly was going to explode from the immense pressure.
Watch out and don't panick yet if you feel the same yah. COuld be a false alarm like mine.

oh yah, there is a Braun ear thermoscan spree going on in the spree section. Very good deal in case anyone else is interested, half the retail price in Singapore. The first few years for example is selling $145 thereabouts. I only paid $61.6 for this spree (delivery fee to be calculated later but I don't imagine it will be much). Damned good deal.
Asura,
yah it is the original Medela one. Very expensive
Oh yes, just saw the messages above. SO happy for the mommies who had fun at the gathering. Hope to join you guys after delivery instead ... heee when all our babies are more settled, maybe we can have a bb gathering.

sunshine,
wow your uncle is so nice. Yah lucky I saw the spree in time, if not I'll be paying so much for one here.
Asura, you need to check the yellow plastic cover of the motor, the one that is detachable. It will tell you __VDC max. Mine says 12VDC max. Cos there are apparently two different types of medela adapters for PIS, one is 12VDC and another is 9VDC. The First Few Years have run out of stock for those 9VDC ones.
