morning mummies
Gong Xi Fa Cai

bbethan
i did not feel my lil one move for a few days also mayb i was too busy and tired finaly last nite i felt a bit of movement
 
Morning mummies, Happy niu niu year..

On leave this week but got to work from home.. haiz..
Alot of my aunties commented that my tummy is big for 4th month..and one of them was guessing that maybe bb is tall (since both of us are tall). Was weighing myself at home..dun seems to be putting on much weight leh..

Sherryl, congrats on ur princess! Did you ask Dr Ong to scan for the gender or he told u himself during the scan? My scan on Fri, wonder if bb will cooperate anot.. My hb said not to say gender out yet till born or when pple asked cos he scared it turn out to be different from scan! And also partly he's the son of the family so if it's a ger then keep quiet till parents asked.. Though PIL will not mind but i guess the "unseen" pressure is there..

Been eating steamboat these days and i loved it but dunno y still cannot eat much..after a while i will get full easily..Got lectures from my aunties not to drink cold water and eat oranges.. but i have been taking it cos it's simply too hot and orange is good for fibre and vit C..
 
Hi ladies, Happy Ox year to you and our babies ! :D

found the expo link on the Mother and Baby Fair lor...juz copy n paste here for ur reference.
it's from 27, 28 Feb to 1 Mar 09. LOL....guess what..NATAs fair is the same dates held in expo too!!

http://www.singex.com.sg/index.php?option=com_events&amp;programmes=0&amp;month_list=03&amp;year_list=2009&amp;Itemid=38&amp;channels=26

Meanwhile, has anyone book the Antenatal (aka Childbirth Education Course) class? Mrs Wong class is fully book in Feb already...left March class. I juz buzz TMC ParentCraft at tel 6251 4043 and book it. so idoit, i keep calling the stated tel at their internet Home Page (tel 6251 4090,homepage http://www.thomsonmedical.com/facilities.htm#firstborn) but can't get through for so many days...nearly give up. luckily a relative yesteray give me the actual ParentCraft no 6251 4043, and immediately someone pick up the phone today. i book the 14th March, 7 to 9pm class by Mrs wong..heard that she is v popular from the forum. actually i wanted weekdays but my hubby is always held up by work.

happy.gif
 
annie
Mrs Wong's class is really good. I went there for the class even though i don't deliver in TMC. Got to book fast. Got to choose those classes taught personally by her cos there are some which are taught by her nurses.

Hi mummies, Happy CNY to all!

Mashy, pls help update my EDD to 5 July 07. Its been brought forward 2 days earlier.

HBB, when is your detailed scan? Mine is on 27 Feb. But, may bring forward earlier coz can do anytime during that week.

Btw all, are you guys putting on any weight? Mine is constant as per my last chk up on 27/01. Bt, bb is growing fine n her size is normal.

For those mummies who know e gender, are you gals getting bb clothes slowly as u shop? Or u all will wait till after the detailed scan? I am so excited coz gt plenty to get for my bb princess.... Can doll them up n their clothes r all so nice!
happy.gif
 
Hi Happy MOOOOOOOO Year to all mummies!!!

Went to see gynae juz before CNY and she commented tat my baby 70% boy boy... my gynae refused to commit herself and ask me to wait for 5th month scan!

Haha so putting on hold my spree on baby clothes!!
 
Hi all mommies,

Happy Niu year! Hope the year would be a wonderful one for all of us!

Anyone planning to go for a short trip in 2nd tri? my gynae said that's the best time to go so am planning to go end Mar..contemplating taiwan but not sure if it's pregancy-friendly place..prefers to go japan but heard japan has a lot of climbing esp for the temples and scenic places..

Jasmine, thanks..will start my search for good massage ladies and book soon..

Annie, I read that we shd book for Parent Craft from 20 weeks only..or can we book even before 20 weeks? need to go down AMK to make payment? I hear TMC Parent craft has moved to AMK.
 
Lamagier,

Happy happy new year lei.. No quarrel with hubby k.. Must be happi happi.. Cool down..
happy.gif


This few days, occasionally will feel small, light kick inside tummy. Especially got one day, I had very hot, spicy tom yam soup, that day I experience one hard one at the tummy. Told my hubby, baby must be very hot inside. ha Ha!! :p Yday, dunnoe I'm feeling correctly or not, I can feel something like turning inside my right tummy when I sleep side-way. But I feel now perhaps too early to feel lei. Maybe i'm onli being sensitive..
happy.gif


You start work today?
 
Blessed,
which shop in United Sq did u buy yr pants? I quite like the skirts at Modern Maternity.

Sheryl,
I put on 3kg over 3 weeks. Thanks to the supper that hubby has been bringing home recently. Also due to the increasing appetite n all the CNY goodies. Hmmm... better control a bit. Hehe

I'm very excited over shopping my bb gal now. each time i see nice pink pink dresses or accessories, I'll tell hubby will get for bb. Think he surrender liao. Said I'm unfair to my #1 boy. But I guess I'll start shopping only later on. Though gynae says 95% gal, but will wait till detailed scan then start buying. In meantime, hope people will give me some hands me down. Then can save a bit.

PReiousthots,
i wish i can go for a trip but i think quite unlikely cos hubby will be busy the next few months n unlikely to take leave
sad.gif
It's been almost 4 yrs since i last went overseas. So sad. With #2 coming, think can even stop thinking liao.
 
Hi all mummies,
Happy "Niu" Year, the Precious "Niu" Year of our babies
happy.gif


Starting work today after the MC and holiday...long day today !!!

Pretty Bunnie: Hope you are feeling better today, so bad you still feel the needle...
sad.gif

I had rest on that day of the test and the day after, felt very weak (not very painful !!!) after the test though, maybe i was so tensed, so stressed with lot of worries as this is the first time i had to go through this test.
Do you know your baby gender yet through the scan before the test ???
Somehow, the sonographer (who was very sweet to me) scanned and saw..."the balls", she said, your baby is a boy...
happy.gif
i was so happy, almost tearing to hear that. My no.1 is a girl, having a boy now so that i can close my factory after that
happy.gif

I can't wait to hear the test result which to know the baby is well and to confirm the gender too.
Praying hard that all the babies are healthy

Hi Mashy: pls help to update my baby gender. Thanks a million !!!
happy.gif


I'm also planning to take a short trip holiday in Mar to relax...after all stress.

Wish all the mummies and babies are well after all !
 
yes preciousthots, It's alright to book earlier.
happy.gif
i think it means we can only attend the class after week 20, but anyway, you have to call now to book for March, cos Feb weekend classes are already all full for Mrs Wong's class...hence i can't attend Feb classes, even i am week 20th on Feb 14th...have to delay till week 24th then attend. unless you don't mind taught by other teachers/nurses, i think there are some slots left in Feb.

payment can be made by cheque and mail it over to TMC address...not at AMK hub, that's juz a rental place. u can ask the staff at the tel for details.

Hello mummies

i m a jan mummy and just completed my session of post natal massage today and just want to share the good service and massage my massage lady is providing.

$50 per session, complete with herbs, body wrapping and body scrub and baby oil. INCLUDES bathing and massage for baby too!

From my experience: -
Ida will put pressure on the areas which need to be relieved…hmm..like totally relax lor. Her way of doing is kinda in a traditional way. My stitches below she would use a charcoal to put it below me to tighten my below and 2nd to last day will be focus on pushing up my womb…..

She includes bathing and massage for baby which is really very beneficial for a first time mummy and daddy who do not have confinement lady. Even if you have a confinement lady who bathes your baby…your baby may still enjoy the baby massage…. My baby gal has been enjoying her massages ... and you can just see how she enjoys by the way she relaxes and smile…Ida really knows how to handles baby too…

She's a very helpful and kind ML i can say. I duno anything i can call her and ask. She helps in preventing my breast from engorgement and sharing tips on how to breastfeed. Oh yes! she is very pro-breast feeding too!!! Those i duno de she everything also teach me. She is very willing to share her experiences in handling baby and maintaining a woman's health

i took her initially for a week..after the second day...i requested for additional week.. Besides wrapping your tummy after each session...she encourages wrapping the tummy even after the massage session ended...and she teaches and guides me on how to wrap my tummy. =)

Her price is reasonable 50Bucks per session inclusive of baby bathing and massage. Oh ya i bought a 20bucks wrapping cloth from her. That one can reuse it as i think is quite good.

Oh btw if you call ida.. she's not in around your area she will ask her sis to take over. Her sisters massage everything is the same.

Do call her now or early before your birth to book appt with her.. So that she can leave a date free for you.

for more info and enquries call Ida 94249829 she is willing to help you out. I can say thumbs up! she's not only a good massage lady, a good friend and a good advicer and a massage lady who goes the EXTRA MILE!!!! ^___^ will confirm be using her for my 2nd baby again!
 
Hi all, happy moo moo year!

Sorry that I have been missing for soooo long, the new job I took has been keeping me extremely tied up. My supervisor is the kind who expects her staff to work on weekends and after office hours as well.

Anyway, enough about that. I am so excited to see so many new postings from so many new mommies too, the july cohort is growing indeed! Have we had the gathering yet? I recalled it was to be held sometime after we all cleared the first trimester. I hope I have not missed it!

Speaking of classes, I also signed up for the aqua fitness classes in KKH, starting April. I read that it's a covered and temperature-controlled pool with only six mommies per class, looking real forward to it. Time to do some exercise, I have been eating so much over the hols!

Preciousthots, I am planning a babymoon - a short trip to Japan somewhere in end Feb with my hubby, contemplating if I should bring my daughter and helper along. Prob will. Will keep you updated. Do let me know if you are really also going to Japan!

Erm, btw, where can I find good pre-natal therapists to come to my house on either Sat or Sun to give me massages once a week? Just 75 mins per session will do.

My next scan is on 31 Jan (Sat) and I also hope to know the gender. All those mommies who know, you must be so thrilled. Congratulations!
 
Hi FOZ,

Is the aqua fitness class found on KKH website? Does the class only cater to mummies giving birth in KKH? I'm looking for such classes but no idea where to start or find.
 
Hi MrsC, go to kkh webby (www.kkh.com.sg), click on "For patients and visitors" and then in the drop list, click on "For classes for women &amp; parents". Click on "Aqua Fitness in Pregnancy", you will see all the details there. The link is super long so I didnt copy and paste it here. Not sure if they accept non-KKH patients but I don't see why not. Give them a call soon, think not many slots left.
 
sheryl
i tink my detail scan is somewhere in 2 weeks time if i rem correctly cos shld b ard 20 weeks. and see gynae in 22 weeks.

i haven realy buy baby clothes yet and i tink i might not b buying unless i see those i realy like.. becos... i already have near 100 pcs of hand me down and 40 pcs of brand new ones which i collected since i got married haha

for mrs wong classes. any one can share wat is it about cos i went to the website din see much thg. is it only on breast feeding? or wat else? cos i cant decide to go to the kkh one or tmc one.
i wan basic stuff like bathing, massaging of baby as well as on breast feeding such thg onli as i got other course for other thg.
 
tot of gg babymoon also
dh suggested HK but i scare alot of walking as the mtr n etc all not v user friendly..alot of steps.
i tot of BKK but if go thr yet cant eat street hawker foo dmuch also wasted...
else i go beach resort liao
 
Re: Babymoon
I also want to go babymoon.... but saving money for baby. And I'm a photography freak. Thinking of buying new lens for baby... My current lens not suitable for taking baby as indoor=low light conditions.

So many things to buy, so little money =p


Re: Baby Gender
So happy for mummies who already know their baby gender. Can't wait till my next scan.... Another 2 weeks. Hopefully will be able to see baby gender... Then can talk to baby in terms of boy boy or girl girl =p
 
Babyethan , I bought my pants at Mum R Us, at basement..oh ya, I bought a 3/4 at Modern Maternity too..prices are competitive and the salesgals really know how to give you some good service....

Re:pre natal massages
You mean we can have massages as early at now? Any good recommendations?
 
I toured on my own in Taipei with the city train system since my husband was fairly familiar with the place from past business trips. It's a much tighter crowd, comparative to a typical Chinatown crowd during CNY, for the night markets, so not sure it's comfortable to walk thru with a baby bump in toll. Go earlier for the night market to avoid the squeeze.

And since we are less likely to be rushing through our walks, Japan will probably be more relaxing than Taiwan I suppose because the more scenic places also require a fair bit of walking. Weather-wise they are similar depending on the season.

If food is a key highlight for your trip, Taiwan definitely will get that right. I have been to quite a number of eateries in Toyko city that are often full capacity during meal times and that can be frustrating to a constantly hungry preggy.
 
lamagier
wat sort of lens is good for indoor?
i just bought a micron lens 2 mth bk.. feeling broke lol but i wan take bb shots for my bb hahaaa
 
Jerene,
which part of japan were u planning to go?i wanted to see cherry blossoms in kyoto but my fren told me quite a lot of climbing for the sightseeing..

Sam,
thanks for sharing! For Japan, I am very tempted to go there but was thinking prob easy to take tour package but the thot of having to wake up early and group waiting kinda puts me off...not sure if it's easy for self-travel tho..
 
Hi hbb,
I'm using Nikon. So probably getting a 50mm f1.4 (S$400++) or f1.8 (S$100++). Saw on Clubsnap they are very good lenses for indoor use. Need a smaller f-stop for low light condition since cannot use flash on babies. Will scare them and not good for their eyes.

I tried using the Nikkor macro 105mm f2.8 on my niece when she was born. A lot of shots turned out slightly blurred even though I already was using f2.8...

And saw at TMC got people advertise photography for newborn for a few hundred bucks. I can take similar quality photo too. Rather spend the moeny on lens and I take the photo myself
 
preciousthots, I am happy going anywhere in Japan since I have never been there. Perhaps Tokyo so can visit Disneyland? :p I doubt I want to do a lot of climbing since a) I ain't that fit and b) I'm lazy and c) Don't wanna take unnecessary risks while preggy
 
HBB
the one at TMC is really good. I recommend it. they cover all childbirth &amp; pregnancy topics. first 2 lessons on exercise, childbirth &amp; breathing techniques, 1 lesson on breastfeeding, 1 lesson on basic child care like cleaning, bathing, basic massaging, etc
 
Hi mummies, so happy to see all of you back. Think everyone so busy giving angbaos during chu yi and chu er
happy.gif


MrsC and Sheryl, i'm oso not putting much weight but so far, gynae oso said bb growing well. So less worried nw...

Babyethan &amp; HBB, i dun bb movement at all. But only got feel bubbles in it...is it jus hungry or are they bb movement?
 
HBB, yr gynae review is not straight after the detailed scan? Coz my gynae asked mi to go to him after my detailed scan at TMC lo. My detailed scan is when i am in wk 21.

Ladies, i aso hope to go for a trip before no 2 is out. Bt, super broke le. so many things to pay n so little $ to spend. ;p I havent gone for a trip for 4 yrs liao. hee.
 
kitty, i think its a concern if we not putting on weight. bt if our bb is growing well, thn we r fine. mbe later on.... haha!
 
Hi Preciousthots and jerene,
For the scenic spots in Japan, definitely much easier to take up a tour package since the country is very much tourism oriented, the coaches take u right up to the spot for the tourists, and food included in the packages (I did an ANA package, was very filling). Some itineraries can be extended for a couple more days which is often main cities like Tokyo or Osaka, and that can be conveniently tackled by train. Some scenic picks do have volcanic locations, not sure if the dense sulphur in the air is healthy for babies though, and we mostly likely don't get to enjoy hotsprings.

There are 2 disneys in Tokyo, sea and land, near each other, and there's a train circuit to get around each park. Land is directed more at the kids whereas sea is for the lesser popular disney characters. However there are probably restrictions for most of the rides for preggies, leaving us with probably the performances and parades, kinda boring and tiring waiting with the crowd or hours to get a spot to watch especially the parade. The hotels there are 5 stars or better, so they should be really really nice for families with kids.

haha I'm wishing badly to go on a holiday too, got a habit to go at least once a year, and missed out on making a trip during the dec holidays (1st trimester period).
 
Hi Kitty, MrsC and Sheryl
haha, I'm also not putting on much weight. But I do try to make an effort to exercise so won't put on too much pregnancy weight> Afraid later cannot get rid...

Read in magazine that woman's body will store 45,000 calories to prepare for breast feeding... Haha, I started feeling like kungfu panda after I read that. Can imagine myself round round sitting on the floor with big belly, munching on bamboo shoots........



Hi hbb,
By the way, when baby comes, can try putting baby next to window or direct under the florescent light and use your macro lens =). I do that for my niece... Take photos of her little fingers, little toes, umbilical cord. And macro lens also very good for taking protraits, so can take nice photos of baby face....
 
Re: Babymoon
Me &amp; the husband made a pact. When baby over a year old, we will leave baby with pil/my mother/sister and we will go Bhutan for long overdue babymoob =)
 
lamagier
ok will take into consideration on e lens hee

thanx bbethan I will chk out e dates on e class

kitty e bubbles r actually bb moving I tink hee

sheryl
no leh cos my gynae say c mi in 6 weeks bt scan during 20th week
if wan go to him straight aso cn bt guess he dn wan mi waste munny
bt he did mentioned if during scan any problem he will pop by
 
agree with sheryl
no weight gain doesnt matter so long as bb growing well
my gynae theory is like that too so he wasnt v concern that i am not gaining much

cookero: tt time ah .,.. i asked her what herbs I need to prepare, so she tell me, i go and buy ... then i just make sure she got a bed (mattress) and blanket and pillow to sleep on ...

different CL have different practices, so u can ask your CL closer to date if you need to prepare anything for her arrival and your confinement. tt time, I had 1 bag of baby clothes i washed, but i didn't sort, so she asked why, i told her i first time mummy dunno how to sort the baby clothes!!!! so in the end they spent 1/2 a day to sort out the various clothes and then tell me what other clothes the baby needs. but my CL v funny, never seen rompers before and she was quite resistant to it. but after a while she's ok with it.

28 days is norm, if you want to extend is chargeable. there are NO off days ... she stays with you for the entire 28 days. last time off day to chop passport, but now no need, they can stay for entire 28 days without needing to "chop" passport at JB after 2 weeks.

baby movement: yes my baby kicks pretty hard sometimes, like just 1 "thump" ... as a #2, it's easier ... i couldn't identify my #1 kicks until i was in my 6th month :p

still having poor appetite, and with all the body aches (also meaning sleepless nites) i feel like i'm in my 9th month of pregnancy!!!! v tiring =( i'm also starting my pre-natal massage so tt's some hope of temporary relief.

HKBB: how are u doing? this time i'm taking much longer to recover from the amnio .... i still can feel shots of pain from the entry point if i walk too much ...

Hi elijah'smummy,
Haha, you said baby swin around in tummy, reminds me of the animation movie Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea. Yesterday didn't see eye to eye with the husband and felt unwell. So I told him the baby feels what mummy feels and was swimming around venting frustration....

Morning mummies, Happy niu niu year..

On leave this week but got to work from home.. haiz..
Alot of my aunties commented that my tummy is big for 4th month..and one of them was guessing that maybe bb is tall (since both of us are tall). Was weighing myself at home..dun seems to be putting on much weight leh..

Sherryl, congrats on ur princess! Did you ask Dr Ong to scan for the gender or he told u himself during the scan? My scan on Fri, wonder if bb will cooperate anot.. My hb said not to say gender out yet till born or when pple asked cos he scared it turn out to be different from scan! And also partly he's the son of the family so if it's a ger then keep quiet till parents asked.. Though PIL will not mind but i guess the "unseen" pressure is there..

Been eating steamboat these days and i loved it but dunno y still cannot eat much..after a while i will get full easily..Got lectures from my aunties not to drink cold water and eat oranges.. but i have been taking it cos it's simply too hot and orange is good for fibre and vit C..

Meanwhile, has anyone book the Antenatal (aka Childbirth Education Course) class? Mrs Wong class is fully book in Feb already...left March class. I juz buzz TMC ParentCraft at tel 6251 4043 and book it. so idoit, i keep calling the stated tel at their internet Home Page (tel 6251 4090,homepage http://www.thomsonmedical.com/facilities.htm#firstborn) but can't get through for so many days...nearly give up. luckily a relative yesteray give me the actual ParentCraft no 6251 4043, and immediately someone pick up the phone today. i book the 14th March, 7 to 9pm class by Mrs wong..heard that she is v popular from the forum. actually i wanted weekdays but my hubby is always held up by work.

Mrs Wong's class is really good. I went there for the class even though i don't deliver in TMC. Got to book fast. Got to choose those classes taught personally by her cos there are some which are taught by her nurses.

Hi mummies, Happy CNY to all!

Mashy, pls help update my EDD to 5 July 07. Its been brought forward 2 days earlier.

HBB, when is your detailed scan? Mine is on 27 Feb. But, may bring forward earlier coz can do anytime during that week.

Btw all, are you guys putting on any weight? Mine is constant as per my last chk up on 27/01. Bt, bb is growing fine n her size is normal.

For those mummies who know e gender, are you gals getting bb clothes slowly as u shop? Or u all will wait till after the detailed scan? I am so excited coz gt plenty to get for my bb princess.... Can doll them up n their clothes r all so nice!

Hi all mommies,

Happy Niu year! Hope the year would be a wonderful one for all of us!

Anyone planning to go for a short trip in 2nd tri? my gynae said that's the best time to go so am planning to go end Mar..contemplating taiwan but not sure if it's pregancy-friendly place..prefers to go japan but heard japan has a lot of climbing esp for the temples and scenic places..

Jasmine, thanks..will start my search for good massage ladies and book soon..

Annie, I read that we shd book for Parent Craft from 20 weeks only..or can we book even before 20 weeks? need to go down AMK to make payment? I hear TMC Parent craft has moved to AMK.

Happy happy new year lei.. No quarrel with hubby k.. Must be happi happi.. Cool down..

This few days, occasionally will feel small, light kick inside tummy. Especially got one day, I had very hot, spicy tom yam soup, that day I experience one hard one at the tummy. Told my hubby, baby must be very hot inside. ha Ha!! :p Yday, dunnoe I'm feeling correctly or not, I can feel something like turning inside my right tummy when I sleep side-way. But I feel now perhaps too early to feel lei. Maybe i'm onli being sensitive..

You start work today?

Blessed,
which shop in United Sq did u buy yr pants? I quite like the skirts at Modern Maternity.

Sheryl,
I put on 3kg over 3 weeks. Thanks to the supper that hubby has been bringing home recently. Also due to the increasing appetite n all the CNY goodies. Hmmm... better control a bit. Hehe

I'm very excited over shopping my bb gal now. each time i see nice pink pink dresses or accessories, I'll tell hubby will get for bb. Think he surrender liao. Said I'm unfair to my #1 boy. But I guess I'll start shopping only later on. Though gynae says 95% gal, but will wait till detailed scan then start buying. In meantime, hope people will give me some hands me down. Then can save a bit.

PReiousthots,
i wish i can go for a trip but i think quite unlikely cos hubby will be busy the next few months n unlikely to take leave It's been almost 4 yrs since i last went overseas. So sad. With #2 coming, think can even stop thinking liao.

Hi all mummies,
Happy "Niu" Year, the Precious "Niu" Year of our babies

Starting work today after the MC and holiday...long day today !!!

Pretty Bunnie: Hope you are feeling better today, so bad you still feel the needle...
I had rest on that day of the test and the day after, felt very weak (not very painful !!!) after the test though, maybe i was so tensed, so stressed with lot of worries as this is the first time i had to go through this test.
Do you know your baby gender yet through the scan before the test ???
Somehow, the sonographer (who was very sweet to me) scanned and saw..."the balls", she said, your baby is a boy... i was so happy, almost tearing to hear that. My no.1 is a girl, having a boy now so that i can close my factory after that
I can't wait to hear the test result which to know the baby is well and to confirm the gender too.
Praying hard that all the babies are healthy

Hi Mashy: pls help to update my baby gender. Thanks a million !!!

I'm also planning to take a short trip holiday in Mar to relax...after all stress.

Wish all the mummies and babies are well after all !

yes preciousthots, It's alright to book earlier. i think it means we can only attend the class after week 20, but anyway, you have to call now to book for March, cos Feb weekend classes are already all full for Mrs Wong's class...hence i can't attend Feb classes, even i am week 20th on Feb 14th...have to delay till week 24th then attend. unless you don't mind taught by other teachers/nurses, i think there are some slots left in Feb.

payment can be made by cheque and mail it over to TMC address...not at AMK hub, that's juz a rental place. u can ask the staff at the tel for details.

Hello mummies

i m a jan mummy and just completed my session of post natal massage today and just want to share the good service and massage my massage lady is providing.

$50 per session, complete with herbs, body wrapping and body scrub and baby oil. INCLUDES bathing and massage for baby too!

From my experience: -
Ida will put pressure on the areas which need to be relieved…hmm..like totally relax lor. Her way of doing is kinda in a traditional way. My stitches below she would use a charcoal to put it below me to tighten my below and 2nd to last day will be focus on pushing up my womb…..

She includes bathing and massage for baby which is really very beneficial for a first time mummy and daddy who do not have confinement lady. Even if you have a confinement lady who bathes your baby…your baby may still enjoy the baby massage…. My baby gal has been enjoying her massages ... and you can just see how she enjoys by the way she relaxes and smile…Ida really knows how to handles baby too…

She's a very helpful and kind ML i can say. I duno anything i can call her and ask. She helps in preventing my breast from engorgement and sharing tips on how to breastfeed. Oh yes! she is very pro-breast feeding too!!! Those i duno de she everything also teach me. She is very willing to share her experiences in handling baby and maintaining a woman's health

i took her initially for a week..after the second day...i requested for additional week.. Besides wrapping your tummy after each session...she encourages wrapping the tummy even after the massage session ended...and she teaches and guides me on how to wrap my tummy. =)

Her price is reasonable 50Bucks per session inclusive of baby bathing and massage. Oh ya i bought a 20bucks wrapping cloth from her. That one can reuse it as i think is quite good.

Oh btw if you call ida.. she's not in around your area she will ask her sis to take over. Her sisters massage everything is the same.

Do call her now or early before your birth to book appt with her.. So that she can leave a date free for you.

for more info and enquries call Ida 94249829 she is willing to help you out. I can say thumbs up! she's not only a good massage lady, a good friend and a good advicer and a massage lady who goes the EXTRA MILE!!!! ^___^ will confirm be using her for my 2nd baby again!

Hi all, happy moo moo year!

Sorry that I have been missing for soooo long, the new job I took has been keeping me extremely tied up. My supervisor is the kind who expects her staff to work on weekends and after office hours as well.

Anyway, enough about that. I am so excited to see so many new postings from so many new mommies too, the july cohort is growing indeed! Have we had the gathering yet? I recalled it was to be held sometime after we all cleared the first trimester. I hope I have not missed it!

Speaking of classes, I also signed up for the aqua fitness classes in KKH, starting April. I read that it's a covered and temperature-controlled pool with only six mommies per class, looking real forward to it. Time to do some exercise, I have been eating so much over the hols!

Preciousthots, I am planning a babymoon - a short trip to Japan somewhere in end Feb with my hubby, contemplating if I should bring my daughter and helper along. Prob will. Will keep you updated. Do let me know if you are really also going to Japan!

Erm, btw, where can I find good pre-natal therapists to come to my house on either Sat or Sun to give me massages once a week? Just 75 mins per session will do.

My next scan is on 31 Jan (Sat) and I also hope to know the gender. All those mommies who know, you must be so thrilled. Congratulations!

Hi FOZ,

Is the aqua fitness class found on KKH website? Does the class only cater to mummies giving birth in KKH? I'm looking for such classes but no idea where to start or find.

Hi MrsC, go to kkh webby (www.kkh.com.sg), click on "For patients and visitors" and then in the drop list, click on "For classes for women &amp; parents". Click on "Aqua Fitness in Pregnancy", you will see all the details there. The link is super long so I didnt copy and paste it here. Not sure if they accept non-KKH patients but I don't see why not. Give them a call soon, think not many slots left.

Re: Babymoon
I also want to go babymoon.... but saving money for baby. And I'm a photography freak. Thinking of buying new lens for baby... My current lens not suitable for taking baby as indoor=low light conditions.

So many things to buy, so little money =p


Re: Baby Gender
So happy for mummies who already know their baby gender. Can't wait till my next scan.... Another 2 weeks. Hopefully will be able to see baby gender... Then can talk to baby in terms of boy boy or girl girl =p

I toured on my own in Taipei with the city train system since my husband was fairly familiar with the place from past business trips. It's a much tighter crowd, comparative to a typical Chinatown crowd during CNY, for the night markets, so not sure it's comfortable to walk thru with a baby bump in toll. Go earlier for the night market to avoid the squeeze.

And since we are less likely to be rushing through our walks, Japan will probably be more relaxing than Taiwan I suppose because the more scenic places also require a fair bit of walking. Weather-wise they are similar depending on the season.

If food is a key highlight for your trip, Taiwan definitely will get that right. I have been to quite a number of eateries in Toyko city that are often full capacity during meal times and that can be frustrating to a constantly hungry preggy.

Jerene,
which part of japan were u planning to go?i wanted to see cherry blossoms in kyoto but my fren told me quite a lot of climbing for the sightseeing..

Sam,
thanks for sharing! For Japan, I am very tempted to go there but was thinking prob easy to take tour package but the thot of having to wake up early and group waiting kinda puts me off...not sure if it's easy for self-travel tho..

Hi hbb,
I'm using Nikon. So probably getting a 50mm f1.4 (S$400++) or f1.8 (S$100++). Saw on Clubsnap they are very good lenses for indoor use. Need a smaller f-stop for low light condition since cannot use flash on babies. Will scare them and not good for their eyes.

I tried using the Nikkor macro 105mm f2.8 on my niece when she was born. A lot of shots turned out slightly blurred even though I already was using f2.8...

And saw at TMC got people advertise photography for newborn for a few hundred bucks. I can take similar quality photo too. Rather spend the moeny on lens and I take the photo myself

preciousthots, I am happy going anywhere in Japan since I have never been there. Perhaps Tokyo so can visit Disneyland? :p I doubt I want to do a lot of climbing since a) I ain't that fit and b) I'm lazy and c) Don't wanna take unnecessary risks while preggy

Hi Preciousthots and jerene,
For the scenic spots in Japan, definitely much easier to take up a tour package since the country is very much tourism oriented, the coaches take u right up to the spot for the tourists, and food included in the packages (I did an ANA package, was very filling). Some itineraries can be extended for a couple more days which is often main cities like Tokyo or Osaka, and that can be conveniently tackled by train. Some scenic picks do have volcanic locations, not sure if the dense sulphur in the air is healthy for babies though, and we mostly likely don't get to enjoy hotsprings.

There are 2 disneys in Tokyo, sea and land, near each other, and there's a train circuit to get around each park. Land is directed more at the kids whereas sea is for the lesser popular disney characters. However there are probably restrictions for most of the rides for preggies, leaving us with probably the performances and parades, kinda boring and tiring waiting with the crowd or hours to get a spot to watch especially the parade. The hotels there are 5 stars or better, so they should be really really nice for families with kids.

haha I'm wishing badly to go on a holiday too, got a habit to go at least once a year, and missed out on making a trip during the dec holidays (1st trimester period).


lamagier
yap i notice the micron oen v good for portrait shoots!
i took soem v nice one for my nephew n my sis when i tried it out but since i preggy i haven touch the camera for long long time
jus now took out my battery n etc started charging wanted to go sentosa flower exhibition liao but last min gt dinner so postpone haa
 
blessed: yup I did my pre-natal massage liao :p cuz my body ache like mad and my butt hurt so bad until i cannot walk ... but some of them do from 6 months onwards. mine ok to do from 4 months onwards. if u stay near thomson plaza, there's this place that offeres package, 12 sessions for $650 or $750 (cannot rem offhand). If u want, i can give u the shop name and which therapist to look for. the same shop and same therapist also will do foot reflexology, but I will play it safe and do it only from 5th month onwards.

kitty: same same: march to june my peak period at work, so i cannot afford to take leave. I also wan to go japan, i miss all the food there!

cecelia: u are not being sensitive =) I can feel even my baby turning or settling in a comfortable position. Now, night time sleeping is a nitemare cuz it will turn and turn if it's not comfortable for it and I need to change position every 1 hour or so (back hurts) now when i walk, it's like the baby burrowing down, so uncomfortable that I actually waddle, at 4 months! My tummy now so big, like 6 months preggy =(
 
Yeah pretty bunnie, i love jap food too. Miss my crazy shopping on H.K. there haha. But then now can't enjoy raw food for the time being oso....
 
Hi Mrs C,
Actually I had wanted to ask Doc Ong about the gender,but just before I could ask,he had started the qn before me.

He had asked if I want to know the gender,since this is what I want to know,I told him I do want to know.
He was very interesting,he asked me again,sure u want to know,i said yes...
Then he start the scanning.
 
Hi hbb,
Same here. I've haven't been taking photographs for a while. No mood, no feel. But I'm taking photos for a friend's wedding on Sunday =) My first Indian wedding, so should be interesting.


Haha, just now went for CNY dinner with my martial arts group and my coach whack my husband on the back, then whack me. Me &amp; the husband's eyes all bulged out... Apparently all the other seniors never told him I'm pregnant..... But didn't want to make him uncomfortable, so never tell him... Baby probably did a belly flop in my tummy....
 
Hi FOZ,

THanks for the info. Manage to spot some programmes which i want to try ,one of which is the fitball class. I have been feeling achy or rather joints frozen pain at my right hip and buttock area. It gets really bad when i got up from bed after a while of TV and i had to stand still for a moment to be able to walk properly..
Think got to strengthen my hip area before it becomes a problem when my weight balloon..
 
Happy New Year mummies...

I just got back to work.. I had to dragged myself out of bed this morning..
