jam, no wonder i can't see them. I went to kids and maternity dept to search for it!
Blurmom, Same here!! I couldn't wear those looped pads the first time I was given by the nurse too. I keep trying to figure it out how to tied it and end up wearing panties with it as it stays better that way. Haha...
tiny, really?! then i must go to my watson nearby to check it out. Yah, their sleeping wear really expensive. Can't get myself to buy it at all..

Blurmom, those panties never look big enough to me at all. LOL..
tiny, my hubby will be nagging at me for days if i were to spend so much on those simple looking sleepshirts.
The sleepshirt is so short? I thought they are long enough to cover whatever it supposed to cover by looking at it. -.-

Hi fifi, welcome!
ahnetsan, wah very long nvr hear from you, miss you! Glad to see u back hee...
JessMa, I'm going for c-sec because 1) I hv slipped disc, pushing during delivery may worsen the condition; 2) I'm afraid of natural childbirth...
jam75, where to buy cotton type of disposable panties? I really can't stand disposable panties lor, was wondering if I should just wear my normal ones... Other than in case of stain, are there other reasons to buy disposables?
Ling, hope u feel better now from the heartburn etc. Yuck, horrible feeling...
tinybubu, thanks for the update on the thermometer price. Guess I'll buy in from UK or US instead then. Either thru spree or as my relatives to buy for me.
bbPotato, how to make placenta into powder? Take from hospital and give to medical shop or TCM practitioner? Actually does the placenta contain any useful stem cells? Just wondering that if it does, can we donate to cord blood bank or something...

Aiyo... you women are too fast. Now I must re-posting central gathering posts. Heck care. I'll post max once a day!
creamer, Cat lovers here are Tubbym~, sweethalo, caramelle and me! Although Tubbym~ and I seem to be animal lovers cos we like dogs too. =)
Christine, oh! Ask your gynae at future checks then... Mine super confirm is a little warrior prince. Cos he's displayed his nuts so many times *sigh* Exhibitionist! Usually detailed scan sonographer will keep going back for body part scans if (s)he can't get a clear one before. So should be quite accurate ba. But not 100%.
Thanks, ahnetsan, My niece is so adorable! Bladder, yes. I think sometimes the fella kicks the bladder maybe? Or his head bumps up against it and have to run to the loo. I didn't lose weight la. The previous time I was really horrified cos after steady weight, suddenly gained 2.2kg in 3+wks! That's more than 1/3 of my "total weight gain quota". But then, thinking back, I went for tim sum lunch buffet just before going to clinic... I had eaten SIX banana with red bean paste fried fritter balls!! And that was ONLY dessert. Haha! So no wonder I was super heavy lor.
diana, no worries. Actually can either check with HR / obgyn. They should know since everyone else needs these documents too right?
bubu, still envious leh! I want to fly but by the time I stop work, wk 34 and that's the cap for most airlines for preggie ppl to fly. Desitin Creamy available at GMarket (the website) for only $11+. Free delivery some more. I've gotten mine already.
Ling, good. So you get those from your class together and I'll try to get mine and when you come out, katelee should recognise chidori and/myself without you having to ring me! Haha...
caramelle, re: Birth Plan. If you're comfortable leaving all in the hands of your obgyn, then by all means. But after all the questions I asked my obgyn, he told me maybe I want to write out a birth plan. Even just a simple one to state what pain management you would like to opt for and any progressive steps (e.g. gas first, then epidural if cannot kinda thing)... Mine looks set to include: GIVE ME EPIDURAL ASAP! & DO NOT SNIP ME unless it becomes crucial for bb's safety.

Mika, YEAH LOR! My hubby good student huh!?
That's why I sayang him so much - cos he also sayang me a lot in the first place. *heehee* None of those in our group sanitised anything leh. We just took off footwear outside, held on to them (thereby transferring all the goo onto our hands) and went in.
Blurmom, rubbish lah you. My bum is WAY bigger than yours and disposable panties can STILL look like poofy shower caps on their generous cheeks. 38" is NOTHING! *CHEY!*
l'tulips, the second one is also a little awkward to execute for me. Actually, my melons will jump and jiggle whatever I do. So she says if correct can see bobbing / cleavage... erm.. Like that even if I brush my hair also can consider correct exercise technique lor. *shrugs*
ahnetsan, nothing special la. WBB just reminds daddies to talk to bb NORMALLY and not coo and babble to them in gibberish. Instead of high pitched "HELLO, BB!!", just lay a palm on bump and say something like "Hello, darling. How was your day? Daddy had a busy day at work and Daddy is very tired now. It's time to go to sleep. Be good to mummy!" *kiss bump* "Goodnight!"
>> In the morning, same thing and just say something like "Good morning, darling. Daddy is going to work now. No time to talk. Be good to mummy today. Bubbye!" It was quite funny cos she was saying then next time whenever daddy says "I'm busy / I'm very tired, no time to play with you", the child will already be used to it *lol*. She also advised against calling bb by a specific name at this point in case surprise in the delivery room...
That's it! *Finished OT - end of Cass' FLOOD*</font>

tubbymummy : no problem!
oooh, for diapers i strongly reccomend ordering from gmarket if anybody is considering huggies or goo.n.i ordered 2 packs of huggies newborn and they're going for really cheap. plus the delivery guy called me before coming and was so polite. i told him not to deliver to me that afternoon as i'm not feeling well and to leave it with the condo concierge.he kept telling me to feel better and was really friendly.also he delivered during the weekend!!!
whoever it was that introduced the gmarket link in this thread, i must really thank you!!

Wah, another one of my friends give birth. Tomorrow going to visit her in GlenE. Of late got a lot of this kind of out-flowing expenses leh. At first got one birth, I went to visit, spent $50 on flowers and chicken essence. Then got wedding, another $180 gone. Then now got another birth, once again need to buy present. Then the one that gave birth previously, now got full month celebration! Faint. I'm thinking of saying I can't make it.... Bad hor?

I don't usually wear hosp gowns. I've stayed in hosp thrice and always wear my own nighties.. Isn't it more comfy than the ballooning shapeless, faded things they provide?!
Uh-oh.... I hear Tubbilitis striking again...

bbPotato, it sounds interesting, but I think I'm too squeamish to do it too... I have also heard that it's supposed to be great for many things, complexion etc etc.
tinybubu, I also ordered my Goo.n diapers and the goon penguin box of wipes from Gmarket. Happy!
Blurmom, YES! I went into crystal jade thinking maybe eat noodles or what, then it suddenly hit me that it's the "kitchen" outlet, not the la mian only outlet, so got dim sum! *slurp*
Cassey, ah... ok, thanks for answering for creamer hehe. Cos I had initially entertained the idea of naming my girl Genevieve, but I want it to be pronounced in french, er, how should I spell it, like john-vee-av (if you're familiar with the pronunciation). But locally and in most english speaking countries, the name is pronounced as je-ne-veev, so I didn't think it'll be fun having to correct ppl all the time. I grew up with a name no one could pronounce, so I decided to spare my kid. Then I saw creamer's post, and wondered if it was really ge-nieve, or was it a typo. Hehe... sorry ah...

ahnetsan, i also no idea about sizing but i guess should be at least 1 or 2 size bigger? Hee.. Buy a pack to try, if can't wear then give it away lo. I did that previously lo..
Tubby, the nurses in delivery suite will ask u if u want the placenta back or u want them to dispose for u. But i just ask them to dispose as I don't know what to do with it also.
Cassey, hahaha... lucky we have been calling my boy nickname instead of the names we have decide for him and it's an unisex nick. Lucky me..
Blurmom, they only provide clothing for bb and it's free for u to bring it home. But some might want to change into their own bb clothing when discharge.

<font color="0077aa">Tubbym~, your name hard to pronounce meh? Mine just usually ends up SofiAAAAaaah. Once was called So-FI-er. That sounded quite nice... kinda like Sapphire. I think Sapphire - 3 syllables, not 2 - is a nice name for a girl.
ahnetsan, whoa, don't shout out my sin from the rooftops leh. I tell you - tt day I was SO HIGH from all the fat and sugar, Justus just about had to peel me off the ceiling. Haha... Then I was quite sated n sat at obgyn's til I felt like dozing off. I felt like a blimp. Kekeke...
>> The best part of Justus is that it's actually a biblical name. It's meaning is derived from Justin/Justice - meaning to be Just. But ermm, I don't really care. I just think that Justus' mum gave him a lovely, unique name - especially considering they are very non-Eng and super cheena. It's a nice thing to do for him to hand that name down to our child.

Woah. You guys are brave to name your child after either of you. I think Justus is a fantastic name with great meaning. For us, we won't be naming our kid (or any future kid) after ourselves, cos hubby was named after his father, and I think having the name duplicated once in the family is more than enough haha.

With Justus jr, we're considering gvg him a 2nd name, in prep for when he gets older and ppl (read: girls!!!) start calling.
*Gonna grab me a shower. It's so warm!!</font>

Blurmom, hehe... here's always tomorrow... the dim sum will still be there
audreyaw, ya, if u want then what, they keep the placenta in a tupperware for you?? Kinda gross right?
Cassey, oh man, u have no idea what weird things I've been called in my life. The most popular mispronunciation of choice seems to be VEE-NET. Faint. And the dialect spelling of my chinese name is no help also, so when I visit doctor, and there's a name that the nurse appears to be completely struggling with, I'll just say it's me. Oh, I was gonna ask u the other day, do u prefer to be called SO-fia, or so-FEE-ah. Cos I had a guy friend named Sophea last time (so-PEE-ah, dunno what country he was from, think cambodia), and since then, I had kinda gotten into the habit of pronouncing so-FEE-ah.

Cassey, haha... I said brave only cos like I said, hubby was named after his father, and it gets pretty confusing in his house. Ends up his mum calls him "son" or "the boy", his granny calls him "Jxxxxx-boy", and his other granny calls him by his first AND middle name all in one go. I think hubby grew up really disliking his name, and wished his parents had just given him his middle name. Obviously, as an adult now, he has come to terms with his name and is perfectly comfortable with it, and while he can understand why people would want to name their children after themselves, it's something he will never do, having been the recipient of it. So.... I guess that's why I said you guys are pretty brave...

<font color="0077aa">Tubbym~, VEE-NET?!?!?!?!! HOW ON EARTH DID THEY DERIVE THAT!?! Yvonne is easy enough - then just apply the same YV- rule ma. DUH. Yeech... completely massacred your otherwise gorgeous name. *frown*
With my given name, I enjoy it either 2 or 3 syllables... BUT NO -AAAHHHH! pls. It's either SO-fi'er or So-FEE-er. I usually introduce myself with the 2nd - 3 syllables in rapid sucession.
With my nick, must remind again hor. It's my kitty baby's name and it's CASS-ey (kess'ie), not CASE-y (kay-see).
Got called Kay-see again at WBB class... forgot by who...</font>

<font color="0077aa">Tubbym~, I'm hoping the boy sees the beauty of dad's name cos it's a unique name in the first place.
So we'll either give him a diff first name with dad's as second, otherwise a second name so that as he grows up, he can decide which one he wants to go with.</font>
