robinsons have. but that day, when i was looking at the bbsafe mattress for playpen, it was selling at $120 after discount. but when i went to motherworks at great world city the next day, they are selling also at $120 but with 20% discount. so it should be $96 instead. motherworks offering 20% for all bbsafe mattresses.
u may want to check it out b4 u buy. or if i go there these few days, i will check again and post here.

mangogal,
Yeah my #1 also C-sect due to high blood pressure condition. I did check with gynae about pulling out my teeth she says its ok. But if have to x-ray on teeth just tell the dentist to cover my tummy.
Darker armpit,
Its will get worse after givinf birth but will slowly lighten after 2nd months. Now mine also started to get darken, its our hormo changing.
Yeah our arm pit will have pieces of lump if our milk not properly clear after birth so mummies try to pump or direct feed if posible. I got that when I have #1, was kind of scared then but after clearing my milk by breast feed its disappeared after 1 or 2 weeks time.

getting more and more forgetful nowadays.. dunno is it becos of the hormones again... i hope i wont be senile after delivery.
realised my skin also getting drier and some itchiness came back like 1st trimester. even the tiny scars take a longer time to fade. With all the cramps + out of shape figure + swollen limbs + heartburn + body heat, dunno what comes next??

Tuskywoollie, ME!!! ME!!! i can afraid of labour pain though i dunno how pain that is.. normally i have very bad menses cramps, so my pain threshold is very high, hope i can survive the labour pain..
heard about what happened to gingal, hope she is fine. i will be very worried if i have to put down my work immediately and rest in bed cos i know that no one will cover my work if i were to rest in bed now till delivery. Hope bb be good and wait till at least 1st week of March before she decides to see the world, if not, will be big time for my boss.

sung, i got some tiny pop ups on my skin, looked like allergy, but the next day it will be fine but will leave some scars if i scratch it. so i will quickly wash with clean water and reapply some moisturiser.. but once i started to scratch the itchy area, no way i can stop it cos it's so shiok!! i m super kiasee about stretchmarks so will remind myself abt the bad stretchmarks in order to stop myself from scratching it.
wow, i spend almost an hour reading all the posts.. cannot catch up liao.oh,, see that gingal got pre=term labour...she ok or not, what happen to cause her to pre-labour...
<font color="119911">any mummies got leak milk...of cos not so serious, only white white thing appear on nipple. just wash away just do....sometimes will feel tingling sensation like producing milk milk.

re:handwash bb clothes.
so far, last CL done by my mum, she handwash all my gar 's clothes and nappy cloth with ABC bb detergent. the only thing she just ask my hubby to use washing machine to spin dry only. of cos, bb clothes all placed into the laundary bag so that it won't spoilt easily.but after she turned abt 8mth or 10 mth, bb detergent finish so only use normal detergent to wash.

<font color="119911">Jasmine</font>,
went to dental 2 weeks ago. only had a short and simple scaling. acc to gynae, it is advisable not to do any jab, x-ray or if can wait till after delivery better. but normal washing, filling or scaling still can.

re:soy milk ice-cream from mr bean.
hi 5..same same as me.
re:confinement.
agreed with what teddybaby mentioned.when mil or mum do CL, one will tend to have conflict. like my cl very terrible, horrible and miserable. that's why my last cl period not gd, not enu rest etc.So health suffered and got headaches often during bf time. so this time, hiring cl liao cos mum is taking care of no#1.
<font color="119911">sung/sun</font>,
re: habit on old folk.
hai....justt shake head. evne my mum is too stubbon to listen. she still prefer her own way of raising up child then she will tell u, i raise u all 3 up so big liao etc.....they just dun want to follow/upgrade them to the new methods of raising up child. even hygenic wise also not gd...always assume and said her hands clean etc.... that's why my gar being spoilt, know who to look for protection adn bully my mum only. if bck to my hse, she will be guai guai.
<font color="119911">sun</font>,
I always take MC after every visit to gynae.
<font color="119911">keron&Jeris</font>,
first time mum??
last time, i am worried but but when see bb out, what a relief wor...also all tiredness and pain gone liao. miracle wor....dun think so much, I only prayed I will have a smooth and fast delivery this time. like my frenz, her sec bb only pop out 10 mins....envy...
<font color="119911">vernice80</font>,
re:diapers. me also day time will use cloth one. like last time, my gar on clothes nappy for 6mth...
why not get the bigger size one (nappy clothes got 2 size, one big and one small)? last time I got mine at the bb shop (cheong chong, something like that) located at blk 34 or 32 upper cross street (beside OG).

<font color="119911">grace</font>,
wow...gd keep it up, bf for 18mth.. me bf for 12mth 1 week, also too tired to consider, energy draining away.
<font color="119911">Pups, Devil & Kome</font>,
re:bf issue.
need lot of encourage, support, preservance and determination one. jia you....u can do it. haa think of the
cost saving,slimming down (ai-mei mei figure wor), bonding between bb and mummy (even papa also cannot do
that) and the sterlisation of bottle issue...hassle free wor...cos mummy is like a walking milk bottle liao
(this applied to me).
some mummies just consume the so called fenugreek which can booast up bm supply.
yeah, first 3 days no milk except the yellow col.....dunno what 's that call? just let bb latch on or pump,
this will stimulate and build up yr milk supply. like u last time, first time mummy, very worried no milk so
did not buy any pump. then after 1 week, milk like 'water fountain' cos during Confinement mth, eat lot of
fish (fish (of cos got other ingredient) mee sua or bee hoon in the morning and fish soup for dinner)
followed by lot of red dates with longan water and brown rice water (mum fried the brown rice with ginger
then sun it so I only pour hot warm and drink).
afterall, never give up, with preservance and determination to bf, one can succeed. during my antental course last 2 yrs, mid-wife mentioned that every mum after delivery sure have milk (unless medicine condition cannot bf), it 's up to individual to stimulate the milk flow.
latching on wrongly also one of the issue not to stimulate milk flow and
then bec of pain/sore nipple, mum give up. just share my experience, I also encountered very sore nipple
nearly bleed but I still persist to bf (think of the cost and bonding...) and then apply bm to heal it.
my frenz also dun believe me that I bf for so long and she kept asking sure or not...why not stop.cos she
herself stop after 1 mth and then go holiday wor....leaving bb with her mum. my sil also always said that no
milk no milk bec the problem lies with her (told her liao), she is lazy to pump that's why no stimulate, no
reflex. bf is based on supply and demand.
for me, during the 3Days stay in the hospital, at first, I was pai seh to ask nurse to help out but the
second night bo biah and build up my courage to ask for help bec ah gar kept on screaming at night in the
hospital (also scared disturb other patient). think she pek chek cos when I latched on her, think she can't
consume anything, so kept on struggling and then I pressed the button and then call for help. one kind nurse
(lucky she on duty, she 's one of the so call 'experience' one) taught me how to latch on. wow, seeing her
like very easy, just push my gar onto breast etc....then I realised my gar is latching onto my nipple instead of aerora man...that's how I realised I latched on incorrectly. fr then onwards, I became
<font color="119911">st</font>,
re: install bb cot.
for me, we are padang cannot set up new bed etc... so when I was in hosptial after delivery. hubby asked them to deliver new bed and then set up only. for bb playpen (no cot), hubby install himself also like that. he told me that he also study long time before knew how to set up.

re:caregiver.
I gave my mine $600 to take care of my gar during her infant day. but when she is abt 10mth onwards, increase to $800 then now to $900 liao cos of solid food etc.of cos, all these excluding diapers & milk powder expenses.
for me, I dun spend much on bb stuff. most of thing are hand down. only diapers and fm (fr her first yr onwards) so will stock up when there is promotion. hence, one need to look out for diaper and fm promotions.

re:bb position.
same same....I also confused where his head etc...will be gg for growth scan next wk and see where bb is lying liao.
reld clothes
true true, abt what old folk saying ' bb more guai, easier to look after".
re:gain weight.
gd wor...not much weight gain. I gain 2.4kg per mth (exclude first trimster, only 1kg and lost another 0.5kg also). so far, only 6kg gain as of first trimster till wk 26. think it is due to fm I consume. my last preggie, only increase 1kg per mth now different wor.
<font color="119911">pinksorbet/SG</font>,
re:labour.
haa just dun think too much. relax. seeing bb is gd enu to cure one tiredness and pain liao...one that no words can describe how a mum 's feeling wor...just pray hard delivery will be fast and smooth just like my frenz, 10 mins bb pop out liao for her sec one. so next week, I will be wk 28 liao and think will gain 2.4kg also. cos 2 week, went doc, weight gain 0.4kg.but still afford to gain cos i'm underweight mah.
<font color="119911">kome</font>,
same thinking as me, shd I reduce their 'salary' rate since expense will be increase after no#2 arrive and also no#1 is gg to ccc.

re:cot mattress
I bought the playpen (size 43cm x 28cm) 3 inch mattress (come with mattress sheet) last time for my gar for $21 (after 20% discount). then after 1.5 yr of sleelping onto the mattress, it 's kind of sink in the middle. so bought the tailor made mattress at neighbourhood furntiture shop at $40. much higher, think 5 inch and better quality. we are thinking of tailor made sea horse brand bb mattress but too ex wor...abt $80-$90. what if bb leak urine..mattress jialat loh....

re:confinement.
agreed with what teddybaby mentioned.when mil or mum do CL, one will tend to have conflict. like my cl very terrible, horrible and miserable. that's why my last cl period not gd, not enu rest etc.So health suffered and got headaches often during bf time. so this time, hiring cl liao cos mum is taking care of no#1.

re: habit on old folk.
hai....justt shake head. evne my mum is too stubbon to listen. she still prefer her own way of raising up child then she will tell u, i raise u all 3 up so big liao etc.....they just dun want to follow/upgrade them to the new methods of raising up child. even hygenic wise also not gd...always assume and said her hands clean etc.... that's why my gar being spoilt, know who to look for protection adn bully my mum only. if bck to my hse, she will be guai guai.

re:bf issue.
need lot of encourage, support, preservance and determination one. jia you....u can do it. haa think of the
cost saving,slimming down (ai-mei mei figure wor), bonding between bb and mummy (even papa also cannot do
that) and the sterlisation of bottle issue...hassle free wor...cos mummy is like a walking milk bottle liao
(this applied to me).
some mummies just consume the so called fenugreek which can booast up bm supply.
yeah, first 3 days no milk except the yellow col.....dunno what 's that call? just let bb latch on or pump,
this will stimulate and build up yr milk supply. like u last time, first time mummy, very worried no milk so
did not buy any pump. then after 1 week, milk like 'water fountain' cos during Confinement mth, eat lot of
fish (fish (of cos got other ingredient) mee sua or bee hoon in the morning and fish soup for dinner)
followed by lot of red dates with longan water and brown rice water (mum fried the brown rice with ginger
then sun it so I only pour hot warm and drink).
afterall, never give up, with preservance and determination to bf, one can succeed. during my antental course last 2 yrs, mid-wife mentioned that every mum after delivery sure have milk (unless medicine condition cannot bf), it 's up to individual to stimulate the milk flow.
latching on wrongly also one of the issue not to stimulate milk flow and
then bec of pain/sore nipple, mum give up. just share my experience, I also encountered very sore nipple
nearly bleed but I still persist to bf (think of the cost and bonding...
) and then apply bm to heal it. my frenz also dun believe me that I bf for so long and she kept asking sure or not...why not stop.cos she
herself stop after 1 mth and then go holiday wor....leaving bb with her mum. my sil also always said that no
milk no milk bec the problem lies with her (told her liao), she is lazy to pump that's why no stimulate, no
reflex. bf is based on supply and demand.
for me, during the 3Days stay in the hospital, at first, I was pai seh to ask nurse to help out but the
second night bo biah and build up my courage to ask for help bec ah gar kept on screaming at night in the
hospital (also scared disturb other patient). think she pek chek cos when I latched on her, think she can't
consume anything, so kept on struggling and then I pressed the button and then call for help. one kind nurse
(lucky she on duty, she 's one of the so call 'experience' one) taught me how to latch on. wow, seeing her
like very easy, just push my gar onto breast etc....then I realised my gar is latching onto my nipple instead of aerora man...that's how I realised I latched on incorrectly. fr then onwards, I became

re: install bb cot.
for me, we are padang cannot set up new bed etc... so when I was in hosptial after delivery. hubby asked them to deliver new bed and then set up only. for bb playpen (no cot), hubby install himself also like that. he told me that he also study long time before knew how to set up.

re:caregiver.
I gave my mine $600 to take care of my gar during her infant day. but when she is abt 10mth onwards, increase to $800 then now to $900 liao cos of solid food etc.of cos, all these excluding diapers & milk powder expenses.
for me, I dun spend much on bb stuff. most of thing are hand down. only diapers and fm (fr her first yr onwards) so will stock up when there is promotion. hence, one need to look out for diaper and fm promotions.

re:gain weight.
gd wor...not much weight gain. I gain 2.4kg per mth (exclude first trimster, only 1kg and lost another 0.5kg also). so far, only 6kg gain as of first trimster till wk 26. think it is due to fm I consume. my last preggie, only increase 1kg per mth now different wor.

re:labour.
haa just dun think too much. relax. seeing bb is gd enu to cure one tiredness and pain liao...one that no words can describe how a mum 's feeling wor...just pray hard delivery will be fast and smooth just like my frenz, 10 mins bb pop out liao for her sec one. so next week, I will be wk 28 liao and think will gain 2.4kg also. cos 2 week, went doc, weight gain 0.4kg.but still afford to gain cos i'm underweight mah.

re:cot mattress
I bought the playpen (size 43cm x 28cm) 3 inch mattress (come with mattress sheet) last time for my gar for $21 (after 20% discount). then after 1.5 yr of sleelping onto the mattress, it 's kind of sink in the middle. so bought the tailor made mattress at neighbourhood furntiture shop at $40. much higher, think 5 inch and better quality. we are thinking of tailor made sea horse brand bb mattress but too ex wor...abt $80-$90. what if bb leak urine..mattress jialat loh....
Aiiiiiiiiiii I keep getting interrupted sleep these days. Not sure why I wake up either, I just do and quite often I just can't go back to sleep. Oh Woe!

Re: cutting/sewing/bb clothes etc etc etc
Sorry, imho all these are old wives' tales. Unless there is a logical explanation I don't buy any of them. Besides, I have seen so many people breaking these "taboos" and their kids turned out perfectly fine. I believe in exercising common sense lah. Just my two cents. Different strokes for different folks
Re: dark armpits
me too! Oh my goodness. I used to have smooth and nice armpits but ever since I got preggie, both sides have become darker with dark streaks running across. VERY UGLY. I have become so conscious of raising my arms in public now because seriously they look unkempt. sob sob
Re: weight gain
I am entering into my 31st week tomorrow. Have put on 10.5kg since.
too much chocolates and ben & jerrys. Basically I snack round the clock. Hehehe Re: leg cramps
I get it fairly often too. Hate it. It usually happens right after I wake up, especially if I try to have a good stretch. So these days I am conscious of not stretching too hard upon waking up. If hubby is around, I will make more noise. Heheheh then he will be instantly roused from his sleep and will try to massage my leg. Sometimes he blur blur massage the wrong leg. So funny
Re: Confinement by mom
I'm lucky because my mom has been there and done that with my elder sister 3 times. So I imagine she will be well trained. Besides, I think it is easier for me to quarrel with her (very bad hor) than with a hired CL. Seen my sis go through that with her many times esp in her first confinement.
Re: maternity clothes
Heng managed to get away with not having to buy any maternity clothes till date. Very small size to begin with mah, so surviving on loose dresses and yoga pants. But my clothing choice is getting more and more limited with each passing day.
Re: Labour
me also damned scared. I have a very low threshold for pain. can't even take needles without cringing. Aiyo. Somemore I am very small sized. Pre-preggie only 39.5kg at a height of 152cm. Not unhealthy skinny lah, just had high metabolic rate and very small & light bones. Somemore my bb seems a bit big. At the last gynae visit, she was alwasy 1kg at 27.5 weeks. How on earth is she going to come out from my V?! OMG. Have a feeling I might have to go C-sec. Had two friends who went through C-sec (and one of them just had it done 1.5 mths ago) told me just recently that their wounds hardly hurt after that. In fact, the one who just gave birth said her breast engorgement was much more painful.
Afcai,
thanks for sharing about your BF experience. I am hoping to BF all the way for at least the first 6 months, before going partial. Can save alot of money + best for the bb. I read that our BM can actually minimise the risk of our babies falling prey to a no. of bb prone illnesses. Will try my very best. Your post is very encouraging to a complete newbie like me
P/s what happened to Gingal? Hope she is ok
Xiao liao. Can't sleep at all. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
p/s some time ago I posted links to download free sewing patterns for making baby booties. One of them was for the kimono style boots. I haven't tried that one then but have since made a pair. My advice for those who are interested is, use the first pattern instead. The kimono styled booties turned out much harder to make.
