karen: Me also tinking of going for holiday after delivery, maybe in Nov/Dec. Cos may not be able to take leave so soon once come back to work. Maybe plan for a short one? I also intend to bf.
jynnsan: hope u feeling ok now. didnt know constipation can be so serious. Me also have this problem, sometimes need a lot of "energy" to go toilet. Try to eat more fruits but don seem to help [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] In fact, sometimes, I have a bit of blood on discharge but my gynae said if only a little bit it's ok, won't affect bb.
portia: Me also feel kicks on either left or right. Per my last visit, my gynae said my bb is lying in a horizontal position (breech position). He warned me if near delivery still in tis position, have to go for ceasearean.
Hopefully bb will turn downwards by then.
2 more days to weekend, counting down ... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Afternoon mummies,
Adelynn,
Yeh.. i think i will just use normal shower gel with herb water. You do the same for shampooing hair?
You ladies are fast.. I haven't pack my hospital bag yet. Still need to buy herbs. Almost done with all the washing of baby stuff.
Yvvone,
Why do we need 4 gowns? Two per day?? I only prepare two leh. I wonder if KK provides. Anyone knows? I was thinking if i bring all the new gowns to wear at hospital, scarily kenna stained by lochia then got to ask confinement lady to help wash up. Then got nothing to wear while at home liao. Seems like i have to buy two more to stand by.
Gynae visits
I'm still seeing gynae once every 4 weeks. Is that the same for you all too?
BabyT,
The nurses were saying that if i take classic plan i will have to see my gynae at the clinic A instead of TPS. Is that the case for you too? I was thinking of saving some $$ since it is the midwife taking care of us till we are ready to birth anyway.

pomme - yup.. that's what pre-admission told me... will be seeing him in Clinic A instead... which is why i'm only going to do my pre-admission today.. actually the only difference between classic and premier is premier only own gynae can check VE... whereas classic nurse/ midwife or gynae on duty check VE...
pinkyluv - it's $84/ not $841 right?

BabyT,
What is VE? I was thinking since gynae may be busy at clinic and anyway the midwife will attend to me during the 1st part of labour, then i might as well save $$ to choose classic. you have the same thoughts too?
Adelynn,
Thanks for the tip. I am worried about staining, then even 4 gowns also not enuff. Washing is another headache, how to wash in the hospital?? By the time bring home liao maybe harder to wash off the stains le.

pomme - VE = vaginal examination.. to check how dilated our cervix is... our thinking is as long as gynae is the one who delivers our baby, we're ok with others checking my cervix...

Ladies, I have a big headache regarding infant car seat. Is it illegal if the babies are not in car seats when travelling in Singapore? My MIL kept saying carry baby can already because they use to do that last time also, don't need to buy. but I read that car seat is safer than someone carrying, esp when there is sudden jerk or even accident. Anybody can help me on this?

Yvonne, you know of any good car seats to recommend? Are there such things as legally approved car seats or any car seat will do?
windy,
Think car seat is something we cannot save bah.. studies have shown that using the car seat is safer than carrying in our arms. And even if we put this aside, you wldnt want to get fine by TP by not complying bah.. You never know when we will suay suay kena spotted by a TP on the road.
My mother oso make the same comment as your MIL - "last time oso no need.. blah blah blah.. ".. Then i will tell her "wat to do, that is wat the law wants. I dun wanna get fine ah.." then she got nothing to say liao..

i think it will be easier if you wear a night gown then track pants n tee..no?
TMC the aircon can control..i remembered i perspire the whole night while sleeping on the 1st day..
windy
heard that if TP wants to catch you they can do it..but most of the times they will close 1 eye.
but for safety purpose i still got it. and think will be getting another 1 for my next boy.

Hi hi, thanks for all your wishes, am getting better, just trying not to have probia when doing "big business" now. For me case, no matter what fruits - bananas/payaya/prune juices/yogurt/etc doesn't seems to be effective, i think something wrong with my body. I also drink alot of water daily, no choice, now can only hope everything will be fine till birth. Somemore the pressure from baby is making the whole thing worse. No matter what, for the sake of baby, will jia you!
Windy:
Car seat is by law de, it is for safety purpose. So i also have no choice, need to put 2 car seats.
July Gathering,
Sorry, din really manage to read all, can let me know where is the venue?
Maternity package:
I think for gynae fee, we might not be able to claim from medisave, all cash, we will only claim for delivery, hospital charges deductable. Is there anyone who is sure? I assume this because from my recent medical/hospital bill, the claim i made is mainly for hospital and procedures charges, gynae fee they indicated (non-medisave), hence in cash. Not sure whether am i correct to interpret in this way.
Talking about hospital bag, ya hor, i almost forget, should be getting ready now. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Windy,
car seat is a must! we kanna accident before and thank goodness my girl was in her car seat, had a big scare but she's perfectly fine. Only my maid got a bump on her head. It's not because of law or what, sometimes it's not our own fault but it's other reckless driver that we can't control.

thanks so much for sharing ladies! Ok lar, looks like its a must for safety and legal issues. Not to be compromised!
The last time I was at cheong choon, the lao ban niang recommend a combi seat at $330. Looks very nice under their macaroon series. I will look into Maxi-Cosi also as recommended by LeoBaby & Yvonne. Hopefully will purchase by next weekend. This weekend is maid hunting.
Nigella, good thing your girl girl is safe. Phew.
Winnie, your MIL is really powerful sia!!! hahaha!

I agree with Nigella. Accidents do happen and it maybe of no fault of yours. My fren once got into an accident, with her sons in the car. Then TP was called upon due to the accident and discovered they dun have a car seat. her sons are not infants lar but still within the age limit to have compulsory car seat. Although her sons are not hurt but damn sian lor, kena accident and fine..

Re: Car seat
Is a must, coz bb's safety is extremely important, maxi-cosi is a good brand. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Btw, summon for travel with bb w/o car seat is $120, my HB's colik kena b4.
Labour and Hospital Fee:
I opt for single-bedded @ TMC for my #1, if I am not wrong, total cost >4k, and we paid <2k after medisave. Not too sure, will need to check with my HB. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

wah liew, your MIL oso weird theory.. shldnt it be placing behind, so that we can take care of the bb while the hb is the driver?? ermmmm...
Ask u ladies ah, how are u going to place the car seat? with the bb facing the back rest or facing the front? I was told that it is safer for the infant to face backrest cos lesser impact on their neck in time of e-brake, etc.
