ahnah, cheekrene,
I thought of another useful method which i use for the playmat...
there's a type of bubble mat in pink and blue color, that u bought to change clothes for baby after their bath...
sometimes if i came back too late, i use the mat to clean up my #1 and change her when she's asleep...
so i put a pail of warm water on the mat with a small handkechief, lay her down and i'll sit on the floor instead of standing up.
If u put water beside her cot or playpen, u might scared will wet the bed so this is also safer for water.
So when babies are bigger, u can put their play gym mat on top of these mat for extra comfort as these mat are of certain bubble thickness which is very comfortable.
I used to take naps on these mat too when i don't pull out mattress, just put a cushion for my head and it's so cooling...
It's good for them to learn crawling also, whether is it commander crawl or knees crawl, u won't scared their knees will be painful...

This is my first post on this website...
I am 27 weeks pregnant with our first child.
Has been for a check up yesterday, and the doc said i have gained excess weight, I was 55.7kg before conception and am 68.3 now!!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Docter said my baby only weighs 900gms now!!!
Does this mean i have put on all the weight????
Can get some advice on how to loose excess weight gained?
Please help!

Hi Mommies and a Daddy,
Have not been in here for some time, have not gotten any chance to sneak in during office hours and after since i am always Ot-ing nowadays.
Jyoti Amin, you should not try to loose weight when you are pregnant, anyway we should be piling on cos the placenta, amniotic fluid, extra blood, larger uterus, maternal stores, increased breast tissue all adds up in terms of kilos. Better be piling than loosing. Lucky you, i don't even know the weight of my fetus. Got to ask the next time. I am really worried, I am not putting on weight! Two days ago i was 57 kg now I am down to 55kg ...haiz... this is worrying...

eino> Hi, I'm with Dr Kek too! You chose not to know the gender of the baby? Is it becos Dr Kek ask u to keep it a surprise? She didn't want to tell me my baby's gender too.... but I bugged her non-stop every month. Haha. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
jyoti amin> Yeah, you shouldn't try to lose weight now since you are pregnant. However, can cut down on snacking on empty calories like ice cream, chocolates etc. Just try to eat more healthy food.

Dear Jascmy,
Me too won't advise to get a maid to taking care of your NB. NB can't walk and talk but only cry. He/she won't be able to complain to you if the maid doesn't do her job well in taking care of her. My previous maid, which i found friendly and cheerful in taking care of my son when he was 1.5 years old, was spot by my neighbor shouted at my son when he cried. It was not torture, but I already didn't like it when i heard abt it.
Maid will be helpful if you can deposit her and your NB to your parents/parents in law/relatives while you go to work.

Dear ahNah,
I tried cabbage before and it really works. Get round cabbage as the size will fit nicer. As compared to those cooling breast pad sold in the departmental stores, cabbage is softer and more comfortable to be used on our breasts, especially when we are suffering from block ducts. Coolness will help to reduce the swell, same if you knock your head and get a swell, use ice on it (which i tried too everytime when my son knocks his head).
As for hot application on block ducts, I tried before too but it made the swell worse. Since the warmth of the towel increase blood circulation and stimulate more milk production. Just imagine, you already have block ducts, and the breasts continue to product more milk...

Hello ann,
So you are with Dr Kek too. =) for the baby gender, I chose not to know, so i have to remind her everytime during scanning--> not to tell me.. hahaha she did ask me during week 16 whether do i want to know anot. But i want a surprise...
see how accurate the pple ard me are at "guessing" using tummy shape.. looks and etc..
Hello Jyoti,
don't worry too much, if your Dr did not stress u.. u are alright. I have heard pple gaining abt 21 to 30kgs during pregnancy and the baby is only abt 3kgs plus...
I have gained abt 7kgs plus in total over the last 25 weeks and losing weight during the first trimester.
hello White lady,
I do have "itch" too.. but only near the belly button. it feels better when i put on some cream over breast and tummy area.. u got to put moisturizer too.. cos your skin is stretching.

Hi eino,
Yes saw the good price of $109 and bought immediately. NTUC and Taka selling about $182. Kiddy palace sells at $149.
Some mothers sells unused pieces online at $120.
So this baby fair offering at $109 is a very good consideration for me. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

eelyn> BF doesn't mean can lose weight hor....... I breastfed my 1st one for 14 months and didn't lose much weight in the process. I only lost some weight when I went back to my gym exercise... even then, I still have 7kg excess weight from the 1st pregnancy. Like you, I also try to control during this 2nd preg... hopefully, I can limit it to max 10kg weight gain by full term....
ann,
thats wat i thought too.. think my friends are just those lucky few who can look thinner than they were prepreg.. (dun u hate those)
well.. BF is an additional tool to help to lose weight i guess.. cos i read u can lose ard 500-1000 cals by full bf-ing.. will try to add that to watever exercise i can squeeze in. i hope i can max 12kg by full term.. already at 6kg now.. haha im not hopefull cos most of the weight piles on in the next few wks.

I thk by then he will also ask you when you would like to hv yr C-section. I did ask Woody earlier like in 1st trimester, when can we hv c-sec coz my hubby always hv to travel overseas, and he need to apply leave to be around.
And he said anytime after 38wks. But sometimes planned c-sec also will end up emergency c-sec. My friend bb was born at 34weeks coz she had bleeding. So I pray hard that mine will not be emergency c-sec again.
My 1st one c-sec was done by another doc. So I can't comment on his skills. But I do heard good feedback from other mummies. That's why I decided to choose him even thou he super chop chop [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

oic, thx for sharing still. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
btw, correct me if i'm wrong but i always thought the term 'emerency c-sect' is used when mtb started out in the delivery suite going for natural first & when it isnt eventful, they have to go for emergency c-sect. i understand they are charged double in these senarios.
what abt in cases when u've a planned c-sect & bb decides to come earlier than the planned date, will this also be considered an emergency c-sect (as in we are also charged double)?

I'm not very sure also, coz she told me her doc ask her whether she wan to try natural but she prefer c-section. Maybe as long as your c-section is not carry out on the plan date it become emergency c-sec? Maybe you can ask Woody to explain [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
My 1st pregnancy is like what you mention, planned for natural but unsuccessful so ended up emerg c-sec. Emergency c-sec hubby can't be in the operation room.

haitang, I really have no choice leh. No one to take care of Bb. The govt asked us to give birth but never help in the infantcare part. There is lot of childcare around but not infant care. Most of the infant care are far away and expensive even after subsidy. Teachers might also shout at the crying Bb mah. Nanny also same problem of ill-treating the Bb and we do not know.
I'm still trying to find ways. Thinking of putting my Bb and maid in mil house then go there everynite to see him then bring both home on weekends.
What will be your arrangement?

Yesterday nite very warm hor. I sweat a lot till I wet my pajamas and pillow when I sleep with air-con. I feel a bit cold after that so I off the air-con then i continued to sweat cos very warm. Sigh, can't sleep well last nite. Sweat in both air-con and non air-con room.
ahNah,
for the tiong bahru event, i tink we can register on our own la, since u also got the form. Easier to pay too. I'll register for myself today.
jascmy,
it's normal for preg women to feel warmer than normal. Now i sleep with air-con and without blanket. Last preg i sleep with no pajamas during 3rd tri, with aircon. Luckily, only me and hubby in the rm.
