Cindy, don't worry too much, tell your princess be good girl and be in the right position.
Poor Aiko, do rest early tonight. Later during lunch find chance to nap abit okay.
The cloth diaper bought liao then use. Don't think too much about it. I also thought all about the same, until last week's anternatal class.

Thanks Amelia! yippee something to look forward to
you going too?
NateM - i agree about the creams. desitin is very thick and i've one tube from 2008 (my gal's birth) until now, so using! not even half way done yet. thankfully my gal hardly has nappy rash and even when she does, drapolene usually does the job quite well.
milo - wow great job! u have a list of things to buy/prepare for bag? i think i lost them all liao. i've been happily shopping the last few days, think spent a lot liao. but not just baby but for me and my gal too, hehehe. i think more or less the main things are there. just need to get the spare parts for the pump, the milk bags, the additional carseat... and some small miscellaneous things i guess. if you have the list, or anyone else, can share share? to make sure i haven't left out anything...

Will get one of the brands, really not comfort with those old type of plastic milk bottle. I also prefer bpa free bottle. Sterlizer really cannot save the money, would be good for night feed, instant of boiling the water.

As long as hubby willling to cook good already[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] your hubby also capable mah.

Morning Mummies,
I too had funny dream last night. What happened was in the afternoon I was playing around with the breast pump that was handed down to me by my SIL. I wanted to try to get it fixed together to see which spare parts to purchase. Ended up dreaming about expressing milk. Soooo funny. I realise nowadays that whatever I do in the day affects my dreams in the evening.
As for those mummies who have yet to purchase their breast pumps, my lactation consultant mentioned that don't need to buy the pumps so early. What we should do is wait untill delivery then wait and see if got milk then can try the machines at the hospital before going to purchase the one you need. Anyways for the 1st month you will always be with baby so may not need the pump so early unless you have overflowing milk. =)
Yesterday I went to Mothercare to look look see see. Saw this pair of pre-walker shoes... so super cute le... but it cost $25 dollars and can be worn till 3mth maybe i should get the 3mth-9mths one instead.

Morning mummies!
Aiko, must also bring ROM cert, cardigan for yourself, jacket for your hubby, breastpads, hp charger, camera, NRIC too and maybe an extra set of baby clothes and mittens if you want... Mrs wong boh boi said it's best to let your baby wear a cotton baby cap when you and baby are discharged from hospital..

Erm not much difference. Can put all into one bag. Just that the ones listed under labour bag are the essentials you need when you go into labour. The rest is for your stay at the hospital.

Lovebyte - think no need clock. the moment you're in hospital they'll put you on the ctg nmachine which will then monitor the contractions
but snacks, YES! they didn't allow for food in case you need emergency c-section but that time i was only 1-2cm dilated so my hubby smuggled snacks in for me, too hungry liao. and if hungry, where got energy to push??? heheh
crystal - sounds bad. takes lots of isotonic drinks to prevent dehydration ya!

crystal, i don't think need apply work permit for them leh.. Mine didn't tell me that. i only know they allowed to come for 28 days in singapore only and that we are supposed to give them angbao when they come and leave as a form of giving them transport allowance..
aiko, better book your CL soon!! I booked mine 2 weeks ago and i felt it was super late already. Had a hard time getting one that is good and available.
yvaine, heh that's not my complete list but you're welcome! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

cherrry, your CL got ask you to buy some chinese herb called "da feng cao" or something for bathing?? Mine ask me to buy before she comes.. Maybe stock up the red date tea stuffs one week before your EDD? And i also dunno what CL will cook for me so i guess my MIL will help me stock up some pork, fish, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, wine etc..
Amelia: pls take good care.. don't make too sudden movement.. have u eaten breakkie?
crystal: I am not sure if it's true, but the CL we booked told us there is no need to apply permit.. nowadays, the custom stamp is 30days worth instead of 14 days like last time woh..
milo: CL told hubby to call her when I am admitted, and inform her which date I'll be discharge, then she'll take bus over that very same day.. she says not worth to come early coz the 28 days will start counting once she arrive..
Aiko: how much is the Thomson's CL?

klitz: so fast you bought CNY clothes. i was still telling hubby that i wont be able to get any clothes cause by the time CNY still confirmed still very fat!

Oh just remembered something my lactation consultant said. She was saying that after delivery don't take dang gui cos it doesn't stimulate the milk supply. So for those who are breast feeding do take note.

cherrry, omg da feng cao is smelly? oh no.. later we bathe in it and we stink after bathing. Defeats the purpose of bathing during confinement! haha. I think also can put lemongrass to have nicer smell? I hate lemon grass smell though sigh. Hmm i think it's no harm stocking up some pork in the freezer, cos no matter what we definitely need eat pork. But if you got MIL or mother to be there 24/7 sure no problem.
