Good afternoon Ladies.
Its Monday and it hasnt been that bad a start. Have been tied up with work this morning. Baby has been very active... sometimes the kick can be quite hard and uncomfortable.
Speaking of emotions.... I tend to cry easily nowadays... even if I were to see an advertisement. For example, some of you ladies must have seen the ad about a kid who goes into the supermarket and shops for things (copy his parents). Then when the kid comes to the cashier counter... he points to the cigarettes on the shelf and says "I want that like my daddy"... I couldnt control my tears.
This is because my SILLY BILLY husband is a smoker... Last time it did not matter but now I have been pestering him to quit. In my heart, I know it is not easy to quit overnight but I just got so sad... when i saw the Advertisement.
Then I told my husband... "if you dont stop smoking, our child will become like this"... My husb's jaw dropped. He promised to quit. I told if he did not... then he has to go live with his mother and cannot touch the baby... coz the baby will smell like a "small cigarette".
Im too manja... but I dont care hehehe (evil grin).

Sun_tan: Ya.. the mobile looks dull but apparently babies like these colours and can be entertained a long time by them. Haha!!
mrslong: If you don't open, the wipes won't dry up. I bought the Tollyjoy wipes for my dogs to use when they go out. Bought it last yr.. till now still ok.
Yaolan: My mum also just spoken to me. Say we should drill a hole in the ceiling to put the hook for yaolan in case we need it. Told her i heard it's not good for BB's back and sleeping habit. She say wat if he turn out to be a fussy baby like me. I say then we shall see about it lo. If really need, can always ask hubby to go buy one. But was hoping dun need it.

Jayamum>> at least yr HB promised to quit, mine...heh...dun even dare to say he wants to quit (tho he's not a heavy smoker).
but i did warn him...if he wants to smoke, smoke only @ work. When BB's around @ home or in the car, NO smoking at all...else dun touch & go near BB.

Ameda Lactaline Personal Breastpump : Something to share. Previously some mummies poted that the Ameda pump selling at Mumsfairy is selling at $365. I have the Moms R Us voucher and entitled to 10% discount for the pumps so it only cost $349.20. It's the new BPA free set.
So for those who have the discount voucher at Moms R Us, can go there to buy using the voucher.

Vernie: ya.. that's the voucher in the booklet. I just went down to Moms R Us to buy the Ameda pump. The salesgirl very friendly and good. She doesn't have a Ameda pump on display to show me so she open a new set to show me how to use and how it function.
When I decided to buy, I thought she will give me the set she open to show me but she didn't. Instead she gave me a new set which comes with the nipple cream and milk bags. No extra charge.. still the same discounted price.
I even bought a nursing top there cos can get 10% discount since if you buy more than $100 you can be a lifetime member there and get discounted rate.
Oh.. she even delay the date of invoice for me to 15 July (my EDD) date so that my warranty of 1 year for the pump will start from then and not now.
So happy with her service. Sure will go back again. Hehe!!

Hi mummies,
Phew! Had a super long day at work today! I will probably snore off soon!
Does anyone know if I can use PUK teats on Avent bottles? And actually when I bought the Avent bottles, I asked the salesperson of it's wideneck. She said yes, meant to "copy" breastfeeding. But when I look at other brands, their wide-neck bottles are really wide, whereas the Avent bottles still look quite slim to me(the teats I mean).

nuk teas are NOT compatible with avent. the fact that very few brands when mixed and match will not leak. hvg said that u can just take the risk and buy it to try. but y the nuk/avent combi?

fazzy.. I was told by nuk salepersons that their teats cannot be used on avent bottles. I also bought nuk teats... then during baby fair at expo i bought some nuk bottles to go with them.

Actually how often do we need to change the teats? Do we need to buy spare teats now as the original bottles comes with teats. And there is those teats with small or medium holes. So when do we need to change from small to medium ?
Also, went for gynae visit just now. Junior weighing at 700g at
24th weeks. My gynae also went thru e detailed scan report with us n commented tat junior is gg to be a tall
bb just like his mama n papa.. Lol..,

suntan : I was told by most salegirls that we need to change teats as often as every two months! Thats why I ended up buying several different sizes ones during taka fair. Its pretty confusing for 1st-time mtb like myself leh..
wow yr bb's gonna be tall! thats nice! the only thing my gynae commented during my scan was my bb gal is gonna like his papa... big nose!!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Atomickitten,
ya cos gynae said the length of his thigh bones are of quite a high percentile, so gg to have long legs. Luckily mine is boy, tall is good. If is girl, not good to be too tall.
Then wat size tests did u get? So after 2 mths we need to change to the ones with medium size hole ones?

Good morning ladies.
Im also into my 3rd Trimester this week... fast man.....
My gynae has advised me to monitor the number of kicks/movements already. He asked me to gauge 10 movements per day. I get more than that... some are really hard.
Have any of you ladies felt that the baby makes big movement and you end of feeling a little nauseous?

good morning mummies, have you all managed to eat healthily so far during ur pregnancy? i have been hving intense craving for junk food esp Mac's! last nite, i wolved down 12 pieces of chicken nuggets, and over the weekend, i had nasi lemak, kuey chap, hamburgers, and ham....and no vegetables or fruit at all....now i feel so guilty...
jayamum: my gynae only told me to check for movements every morn, afternoon & nite b4 i sleep. so i dun really count because i will tend to lose count!
for me i dun feel nauseous but sometimes quite ticklish cos it feels like she is "swirling" inside..
Rmummy: i have been craving for fried food almost every day all of a sudden. had mcspicy meal ytd too. used to be really conscious abt eating unhealthy food but i just cant get enough of chic cutlets, pork tonkatsu, etc. and my fav beverage now is root beer. I dun even drink soft drinks b4 i was preg.

Rmummy>> I try to limit my junk food to once a week max, hehee. But I hardly eat fish (& I feel bad abt that).
Going to see my gynae on Thur for routine check up. Have to ask her if it's normal to feel like something stuck in the chest area....I feel that as my tummy grows bigger & when I'm seated, I've difficulty breathing, like the windpipe's shorten & tighten.

Sweetkiss>> Same here! I'm not a soft drink lover before pregnancy, hardly drink coke, pepsi, root beer unless in fast food restaurant.
But that day in food court while hvg dinner with my HB, I had a craving for Coke (again)...so drank it & felt so guilty and unwell after that, cuz bloated, hehee.

mrslong: i rem 1 mummy mentioned b4 that the MUG root beer doesnt contain caffeine. so i always take it without guilt. but i also LOVE pepsi/coke with salt! i think not so gassy after adding salt.. maybe u can try~!
vernie: if we get the pumpin pal kit separately, it will cost $78. (Pumpin Pal super shields: $36, handsfree strap: $34 & the air-dry bag: $8 based on mumsfairy website) If get the pump at 10% off and add $78, it will cost abt $428. So buy the bundle from mumsfairy more worth it. Unless u only getting the pump alone.
Rmummy: the food u mention, i have one of them at least once a week! chee cheong fun is my fav breakfast now. & my office is near the Rochor beancurd stall so i buy the you tiao thr when i have lunch nearby! hehe.. nw that u mentioned, i feel like eating nuggets too.
