Morning Ladies,

Jul
Big ar?? What's the weight of ur baby now? I read Ling's bb weighs 1.128kg now ar? the last time i went gynae check on 30 May my Chloe only weigh 844gms lo.. dunno now how heavy she is. I hope urs n mine wun differ too much..if not its quite worrying for me.. cos we same due date.

princessxiaomei
You bought Capella S705 ar? how much? i cant buy too heavy one.. cos most of the time is either my mum or myself take care of bb.. we gers cant take too heavy stuff.. 8.5kg is a little heavy like u said. =)

Ling
Hi Ling, yeah.. so long nv chat with u all le..Me busy preparing for princess chloe's arrival lo.. buy things n went to search for her stuff islandwide.. haha.. How are u??

Outing
I shd be able to join the 1 Jul outing cos 30 June got gynae appt at nite time wor.. 1 Jul at Marche would be good. See majority how lo.. hv to give it a miss if it's on the 30 June. =P
 
Outing
I'm fine on both dates 30 Jun and 1 Jul.

Mamato6js,
welcome back! seems like outing will be after sch holidays leh. That's the alternative date that Jenifur offers. Think she might be busy taking care of her father too. Unless she and others can make it earlier?

Cho,
yah i agree some of the terms i also dont understand. But overall i quite enjoy the lesson lor.
 
sheryn: for myself, i got a 12kg stroller.. coz i dun intend to fold it up n drag it.. knowing myself.. i cant even handle a 3kg stroller plus bb so i gave up on getting a light stroller n opt for a heavy one instead.. if bb nt sitting inside then i'll juz push ard lo.. ;)

jul: i tot placenta supposed to be nourishing?
 
cho

I think that is a gimmick created by the skincare companies. Coz I rem this trend started a few yrs back when some cosmetic co used placentas right?

Anyway I think the "placenta is full of toxins" theory also quite valid. Depends on which school of tot the indiv wants to believe lah.
 
Hi Jen,

Do take care of yourself. God bless your family and pray that your dad had a speedy recovery.

BTW, i had pm you, did you receive?
 
jul: ooh.. ok, mayb check with gynae 1st.. haha.. btw, ur bb's huge! it's a good sign anyway

mine was only est 600g? at 24w..

glucose test: btw, i read tat at 28w we hav to take a glucose test? anyone had tat test taken? wat is it ah?
 
Hi Jen, Thanks for all the spree arrangement. And take good care of yourself. May your dad has a speedy recovery.

My check up was on fri. My baby now weigh 700g over. that was my 24th week.

I called Siemens. Ms Wong informed me she prefer pregnant mothers from week 19-20. ;<
 
Hi ladies,

What i heard is more disguesting..some mummies actually bring the placenta home and cook it together with confinement food. But cannot keep in the fridge more than 2 days
 
cho

Er.. not good. Gynae told me to cut down or BB will be too big to deliver
sad.gif


Glucose test is for diabetes, only need to take if ur gynae advise u to.
 
berrypie: gosh! really?? i read online some mummies eat it raw.. gross.. i tot it was gross enough to make it into capsule form oredi..

some even take placenta home n do placenta art.. make prints w e placenta then hang e artwork..

jul: ooh.. 1.4kg is considered too big?? but bb is healthy ok rite? i hope my bb grows bigger.. at least 3kg..
 
Ling> can get ur cot at $280??? 4-in-1??? we've been looking ard... $329 min... does it come with bedding set and mattress??

jenifur> can still order the desitin cream????? do we use it on bb butt each time we change the diaper??

Michelle> u also at Mt A huh?? so ur coming lessons on which days?? we signed up for Friday classes but we cant make it these 2 weeks..so gg for sat class this sat..

happy.gif


Jul> haha..need my HB's help to renov ur room? heheh.. :p
 
mine was 1.1kg at 26 weeks now dunno how heavy. big babies also headache cos v tiring to push them out! think 3.8kg max for me any bigger will really freak me out!
 
jennifur
i pray that God will touch ur dad in His own ways and in His time. He has a praying daughter in you im sure he will be ok. u must also take care of yourself ok.
 
I vote for 1st July outing! HAHAHAA but i only knock off at 7pm -.-'' probably can only reach at 7.30pm LOL

jenifur: Your dad will pull through it! Ask your dad to think of your prince! :D BB will bao yong gong gong!

shelled: hahaha.. sexy mama at sleep! I haven develop the habit of switching on the aircon every night.. My hubby tries to accommodate to me la.. He always find the weather hot even with fan on. Plus the electric bill will go up, Empress sure come after us, say we on aircon every night, cant be her as she is on holiday. zzz..

Michelle: OH MY.. your hair must be VERY VERY LONG. Since 14y.o!! I cut also shoulder length at least. (My hair is natural curl, need a certain length to maintain iz weight) If your elders side pantang cannot wash hair how? O_O

Ling: nice edd!! I LIKE! 20092009! hehe.. Ventolin? Is it the Asthma inhaler? I've got childhood asthma up til now. My gynae say safe to use, esp during attack. Because if we breathless, baby also no oxygen. He told me not to worry about side effects. Which reminds me, i don't have any more my night attacks... hmmm..

Something i googled:
abdominal circumference (AC) and femoral length (FL). Not sure what femoral is.. all the results too chim for me to digest..

Re: Placenta
Did heard of ppl cooking it to eat before. But a bit the yuck right? Because it is unwanted thats why they have to remove it after delivery.. otherwise remove for what???? XD

placenta,
the placenta is one of the most horrible mass of thing i've ever seen. yikes, no way am i going to retain it.

cho,
i'm going for my glucose test in early jul. you'll only need to take it if gynae orders you to.

jul,
i remember another mummy on this thread has to go for the glucose test. is it you?

mamato6Js,
welcome! the kids must have had a fun time, since they don't want to come home ...

jenifur,
hope your dad is fine. must be quite tiring for you to shuttle to so many places. you take good care of yourself too.
 
Hi Jess,

Do take care of yourself yar? Have you tried sleeping upright? Not sure if it works but at least you get to sleep. you intend to deliver at TMC right? Thought their package price quite competitive? Did you find out about Medisave Maternity Package? https://www.moh.gov.sg/mohcorp/hcfinancing.aspx?id=19744
Maybe can help cut the financial burden also...

My medical subsidy cap liao. Hubby not PR, no medisave. i also don't know how =\
 
Hi Jess,

Do take care and hv more rest.
I din experience the vibration but did heard the sound of blowing bubbles..wondering is it fm bb..

Hi Ladies,

i didnt manage to enroll the classes but thanks for sharing your lessons here
 
ling: wat did u buy at babyhypermart? i bot a pram.. but oredi at promotional price.. so no special disc.. =( bot a rocker oso.. q cheap.. $55
 
Sheryn...

Im good.. Thanks for asking!

Me have also been searching here n there for good deals. The major stuffs like cot n stroller is done. So now more relaxed le.. can slowly get those little little items. A lot to get for gals hor? haha.. I couldnt resist. Neither could my hubby and mum.. heez
 
rach...

hmm.. we bought our cot at $280(w/o mattress n beddings)cos it was hubby's fren who bought it on our behalf. He told the boss it was for his own. His wife also due in sept. The cot is selling at $359(w/o mattress n beddings) n normally no disc. de. Sorry!

Anyway, this is the cot we bought. Bimbo Bello 4-in-1
 
rach

Oh I forgot ur HB is ID hor. I got contractor recommended by colleague liao :p

sandwich

Yeah it's me
sad.gif
Still waiting for clinic to call me abt my results. Dunno y so long. Must be gynae no time to read my report yet.
 
Gina...

ya.. its called Ventolin. its a small pill, not those inhalers. only suppose to take half a pill 3 times a day but only when needed.
 
Hmm.. a question for you mummies on BP in the forum.

I notice there is a date at the start of the topic eg: (2009/06/21) Querida: Carters Bag + (4 NEW design!!!!)

Does that mean the pre-order ends on that day?

Dilemma whether to get the items now or not. Got 3 items in mind: milktrays, carter diaper bag and the lemongrass confinement shower gel. Argh!

Ling: Wah good buy leh! hehe now to get comfy mattress and pillows to go with it! :D
 
Hi michelle
yes.. can have shopping for bb stuff without waiting anymore! (just wait for more sale to come only.. lol)

Thanks Gina
have not tried sleeping upright.. cos left side still aches a bit..
yeap, delivering at TMC, signed up FBI discount for bed and certain checkups. Then now my doc increased price on his delivery charges so seems like no diff le.. haha.. will ask for the estimated bill size during next visit.

Thanks berrypie.. trying to catch on sleep. Maybe bb is playing by blowing bubbles :p
 
Ling: wah fast! Haha.. still waiting for my friend's maid to come back from holiday, coz she don't know where the maid keep the cot -.-' Meaning i cant buy the stuffs yet.

jul_04: CHAM AHHHHH... today last day for the confinement shower gel. carter bag will end when i am in brunei. OMG. should i should i should i?

sidetrack: i am hungry again! >.<
 
gina

Oh I dun want the confinement shower gel. But I wanna get the bag.

I think if u want something, u just go ahead &amp; get lor. Coz other than BP end, there may also be out of stock right?
 
JUL
what report is that? what tests did u do?

Ling
how come u on ventolin? its usually prescribed to stop contractions and prevent early labour.
 
Baby weight
hmm.. mine only weighs 864g at wk26 when i went for my gynae visit last Fri. Dr says bb is average weight. BB has doubled her weight in a month!

Jul and mamato6s,
ur bbies looks heavy ar? but urs are boys lor so mayb heavier?
 


milkyway
yes in general boys tend to be heavier than gals. but maybe cos my babies were all big at birth and me and hub were huge babies too so i guess genetic plays a part too? not to worry abt baby's birth weight tough cos the smaller babies actually catch up very quickly. in fact my biggest 3.8++ kg baby is now my skinniest child amongst his siblings!
