andrea - apart from sharing the same name, seems like we have other things in common. me also not too big on mexican food! sorry i did say i'll go with majority, but didn't know it's mexican food at fairmont.
hyatt - is it straits cafe?? the glorified hawker centre??? heh... so fussy hor... how much do we pay? both are 30+?
last week i went to global kitchen 1for1 seafood buffet, not great. they charge $68+++ per person, if no promotion it's $80 per head. super not worth it. even paying $40 per head was also not that great a deal i thought, cause the food really didn't quite make the cut after they changed their spread from last year.
Eon - sorry ah give you headache. we can't please everyone's palatte so as organiser you just narrow down or make the final decision then we'll follow

milo, wah your MIL say such things. I will be annoyed also. Agree with Eon, not as if we're running for Miss Universe. Ignore her, and after your confinement just look ravishing again. That will make her keep quiet.
I get very mad with insensitive remarks during this period of time.

Hi Eoneon, Olive tree is the one at Hotel Continental at Bugis? SOrry cos i seldom eat at Hotel so kinda blur abt all this... the gathering will end ard what time? Or we all goin walk walk after the makan?
Hi Athena, I think the Kotex maternity pad you bought is the one with the loop so it's very cheap... I bought the adhesive one cos i dunnoe how to use the loop one... I also bought the Pureen brand maternity pad to try and it's alot cheaper than Kotex... Kotex is ard $5.50-6 for 10 pcs and Pureen is $6.90 for 20 pcs..
Mummies who wants to buy maternity pads may want to consider Pureen since it's cheaper.... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Hi Amuro, Thanks for the article... Hmm, now i understand better whether to give BB water anot cos i was also confused when i read that we shouldn't gif BB water so early...

Cherrry, I'm not sure whether got smaller packs cos my colleague recommend it to me and also bought for me cos it's not easy to find at supermarkets... Tin must go those neighbour shops that sells shampoo etc den can find... Haha... My colleague said better to have a total of 40 maternity pads so i kinda KS.. If you want, y not i share the Pureen wif you cos i also find alot when i have already bought 2 pkts of Kotex...
Y you scare of waterbag burst? I tin when that happens, it will be so sudden that you will go hospital immediately and no time to tin of puttin pad liao lo... haha

Muddypaws - thanks for the info, I ve noted down your email. Will contact you if I need more info
Cherrry - You intend to quit after ML to be a SAHM? You mention about getting HL instead of MC, does your gynae issue HL? I previously ask my gynae before and he said he can only issue MC. Anyway, so envy you if you can be SAHM, can watch your little one grow up...
Btw is it a must to buy maternity pads? Cannot use those normal pads for nite time ones? I still have 3 packs unused.

Hee I'm ok to share if u don't mind [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] ya, my friend waterbag burst at home, u gotta wear maternity pad from journey to hospital ba? And alot mummies advise to eat first before go hospital too so water will keep dripping. Hee.. And another friend of mine tell me to put waterproof sheet on bed at week 30+ just incase waterbag burst while sleeping. Some burst is huge water gush out, some only drips so gotta prepare abit. Think aftertat for bleeding, can wear normal heavynight flow pads as many mummies suggested here [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] so tats y I think just standby no need too many ba? Hee..

Hi mummies,
I think pureen pads not v good cos the adhesive doesnt stay as well, so it keeps shifting, i find it may leak easily.. In the end i switch to normal maternity pads, actually the flow not as bad as i expected... Since we're going to be home, just change more often can liao, at night u probably hv to wake up for night feeds so just change lor...
As for not touching water, i think its just one of those old sayings abt confinement la, like not bathing and washing hair, etc.. I didnt follow confinement rules at all in fact, still ok leh, dun hv backaches and other side effects.
In fact i bathed and wash hair the day after i delivered in hospital... And continued showering and washing hair everyday with normal bath gel and shower, hehe!
I v naughty la, couldnt stand being sweaty and not bathing..
But of cos if u want to follow, then its good la, wont get nag by the elders [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Think he's those kind who think preggies must really rest well so when I requested, he just giv it to me [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I told him I'm too tired with not enough sleep and go to work v giddy. Which I was really like a zombie for being not sleeping much tat few wks.

morning mummies and daddies ^_^
terrible! giddy spell and nauseousness hit me while i was on the bus. now feeling terrible.
regarding the venue of olive tree, its at intercontinental hotel. in terms of venue, its fits the criteria of not having to walk far, in terms of price its the lowest coupled with suitable timing to suit everyone.
mangogal, mummies and yugal daddy: what do you think is a suitable time to meet? 2pm?

morning all...
Eon - thanks so much for making the decision. yes Olive Tree sounds good, i think someone mentioned there's 4-for-3 offer for a certain credit card. maybe when you make reservation can check with them? but i may have to take a raincheck for that day. my mom's not been well the last few days, suffering from a bad infection and taking antibiotics and having very bad side effects from it... my hubby will be working the entire weekend from sat to sun 24hours.. so i have to see how my mom is by sat. if she's still not better, i can't leave my gal with her. and 2pm is my gal's naptime so i won't be able to go out in that case. but still tentative lah. really have to see how her condition is on fri. Can I get your contact number? i sms you on friday? tentatively for now pls count me in first. thanks hor.
Mangogal - same! i also use laurier slimguard night flow... it's way more comfortable than maternity pads. and cheaper.
PSH - i just got quite emotional yesterday too. after something really negative happened at home. couldn't sleep, had palpitations, only managed 3-4 hours then have to drag myself to work... what happened to the cot??? are you getting stressed up with things at work?

Good morning mummies!
Just had nice Tuna crossiant and milo for breakfast. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
PSH - Don't be too stressed up, not good for health. Don't think too much either, I believe when the time comes, we'll all be naturally good mothers due to our motherly instinct. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

PSH: Happy thoughts happy thoughts... don't think too much whether you would be a good mother or not... I'm very confident your motherly instincts would kick in the moment you pop, and everything would be ok. Rome wasn't built in a day, so don't set expectations for yourself okie? Just go with the flow and enjoy the process [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
