Hello Mummies...
For those who have yet to get your playmats, I found this link that compares LG to Parklin and also LG Prime (15mm thickness) vs. LG Asobang (18mm thickness)...personally I picked the 15mm one, but my gal friend who had sat on the 18mm one says it is very comfy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
The other BP organiser for Playmat is call 'Small Small World'... but i think they are more ex than 'World of Korea'.
http://gubibaby.com/2010/03/04/lg-parklon-baby-soft-play-mat/
I think it is a good idea to keep old panties for our hospital stay, more comfy and more environment-friendly [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Shopping in JB
I was also thinking of doing that but had a bad experience a few years back, a very rude motorcyclist got into a quarrel with my FIL when we were on the way back to SIN on the causeway. That totally freaked me out, and some of the horror stories of people getting mugged and cars being broken into...all kinda deter me from going to JB when it is just me & hubby..
Bravado Nursing Bra
Base on photos, I think the Bravado nursing bra, esp the original one (and cheapest one) should provide very good support with the thick underbands and also shoulder bands. Important when our breasts are getting heavier and full with milk to prevent sagging. Think it also helps that they say it is soft enough to wear to sleep.

Nursing bras...
During my first pregnancy.. i buy from SMH BP.. cheap ones coz I tot since cheap juz buy lah. But a disappointment lor. NO SUPPORT! and filmsy. Elastic band on shoulder also get loose fast. Eeek!
Then went to buy from Le Leche. Quality much better and shape is better too. But expensive lor. S$70+ /pc.
Recently went to check out Mark & Spencer nursing bra.. I find it expensive for a filmsy n thin fabric. So didn't buy. haiz.
Spring Maternity ones totally cant make it.
Triumph ones, worse! juz thin cotton, but so expensive. I cant remember how much. Think $50+ or more expensive. Looks aunty also. haiz.
Mothercare ones.. cheapest ones.. material not value for the money i feel. Plus got a line running down the centre of the bra. Ugly.
Did you all receive email from BebeLounge and saw the BP? I should be getting the Bravado also like Kikapo

You may want to try buying from OG or BHG (former Seiyu).

mag,
have passed your contact to the yoga instructor. She should contact you soon. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Btw, just to re-advertise here again, if any mummies are interested in prenatal yoga, to help with aches/pains/inflexibility/cannot wear pants without assistance (hehe), can join a few of us at a class in Bishan on sats.
The instructor will ask what pains you have this week then she will tailor the exercise to help with that specific pain for you. Overall value-for-money class I think.
Sats, 1215-115, Bishan.
Fees: about $100-110 for 6 sessions, depending on class size
class size: about 7-9 pax. (quite cozy n not so stressed to follow)
Please let me know if you're keen so I can pass your email to the instructor or you can email the instructor [email protected]
Sorry for spamming but our thread moves so fast that I think my previous post wasn't even up for one full day!

lily,
The one I went not the tebrau one, i din go to tebrau jusco b4. Not sure if all jaya jusco has FOS if you plan to buy baby cloths..like wat chabby said, Tesco sell cheapest diapers, if looking for diapers, just go Tesco
..I bought 2 baby cloths from Tesco cos there is one right outside my house in KL, surprisingly the feel of the cloth is really smooth and soft. cost me RM3.90 only.
Sputnik,
My doctor told me low lying placenta can still opt for natural, so long as it's not blocking the birth canal. Placenta previa is blocking birth canal. So u need to check with ur doctor if your placenta is low.
Miaiko,
Ya, my baby move quite a bit. I try to calm her down by offering music..

Chabby,
Im particular when buying things leh. So I want to buy good bras. Especially when i want to breast feed. My experience in 1st pregnancy is that the breasts can really grow so big and heavy.. and those cheap bras offers no support. My breasts become saggy lor! *sob sob* No coverage also. Even more so when going out.
Shape and support very important for me when it comes to bra. No compromise. Else when old.. very ugly. I dun wana regret

applecrab,
Do you have the link to origins massage? How does it work? Do they come to your place? Don't think I have the energy/time to go anywhere.
bravado bras,
ok, very studiously studying the BP thread and analyzing which one/ones I would like to get. haha
tummy movement,
erm, my daughter continues to be quite "si wen" and I only occasionally feel a slightly more violent push. But it's usually a one-off punch, then quiet down again. I feel more vigorous movement at night when I'm lying on my side to get to sleep. Which side gets more movement means she doesn't like me to lie on that side, so switch position. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
btw, how many of you ladies have gone for your prenatal classes? I attended Mrs Wong's class last nite where we viewed the birthing videos. Okay....I'm officially freaked out by childbirth now.
Maybe it's better not to know at all and just go in and wing it.

Im so curious what's bb doing inside.
Do you wish there's window in our bellies?
if God put a window in our bellies - I think NOTHING would ever get done - we'd all be too busy sitting around, bending ourselves double watching this fabulous and miraculous thing that is happening inside of us - but wouldn't that be so reassuring as well?
Just to look in there and see the little one moving and growing and being healthy - although it would put our gyneas out of business - no need for ultrasounds or amnios *LOL*

Hi Mummies,
Wah...almost end of the day already! Yippee! I get minor episodes of panic attack when I think about the birthing process, wondering what it is like...but no pt thinking too much, I guess..just have to look forward to our little angels [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
All my hopes are pinned on the bravado nursing bras...like Miaiko, I have not much faith in those cheaps ones, in fact, if you guys visit the china blogshops, some come as cheap as $5. But I cannot convince myself toget them cause I think they really don't provide the right support. Already don't feel very attractive with the stretch marks, if my boobs also get saggy, think I will be so depressed...so yes, I took the plunge and bought 4 Bravado bras, 2 original ones and 2 silk seamless one, 2 in nude colours to go with light coloured clothes and 2 dark coloured ones. I also chose 2 in M and 2 in L in case boobies ballon. For the M, I can use extenders so they will still fit when boobs become bigger. But if boobs shrink, I will add padding..haha...

Miaiko,
thanks for advice on bra.
will see if i shld buy more and better ones.
cuz 3rd trimester have to wear those w/o underwire so that it'll not block milk ducts.
luckymummy and kikapo
dunno if ignorance is bliss when it comes to not knowing the birth process. i'm rather scare and freak out by D-day that is about 10 weeks away. glad to know i'm not the only one who feels like this.

wah, all the second time mummies are saying they want to get better support bras....think I can throw away most of the ones I bought already. Actually come to think of it, the total cost of my 4 bras doesn't even equal to the cost of one average priced bravado bra.
The support thing applies even to the simple wear at home pull down type? So I should get decent support 24/7?
Is anyone looking at the Allure underwire bra? Or does it defeat the purpose of wearing better bras that won't constrict the breast tissue?
lilyh,
thanks for the origins link. Hmm, it looks quite affordable. As far as I've heard most home visit malay massage ladies charge around $100/hr?
Nim,
Did you settle down somewhere in the middle of the class near the projector table? I might have been right next to you on the left! Was wearing a brown top. You probly compared your tummy size to mine haaha, but I think I'm larger than the norm for 7 mths. Esp at night, balloon up like nobody's business.
We watched 6 birthing videos lor. After the first one showed crowning I became quite immune, luckily not much screaming on the video, but after thinking about it later then got the jitters again.
The videos seemed quite fast forwarded, is it really that fast from the crowning part to the shoulders and then the whole body slipping out? Sorry if I'm freaking anyone out, but I'm quite morbidly fascinated with the process.
chabby,
guess this is really something we have to undergo and live to tell the tale. If people can do it without pain relief (gulp) I'm sure I will survive with an epidural...right? lol

btw,
does anyone know if bravado bras are sold in SG at all? thinking of trying them out first to ensure fit.

luckymummy - my malay massage lady charges $60 for 1.5 to 2 hrs. I remember she usually does for abt 2 hrs when i gave birh the last time.
Nursing bra - think i'm one of the few who dun bother with nursing bras! Cos my boobs pretty small, so never sag even tho i bfeed for 1 year the last time! In fact i think it shrink after i stop bfeeding.
I remember Mrs Wong saying last time pregnant still ok to wear underwire bras, but if are bfeeding then better not cos may lead to block ducts.
Hopefully - my nipple also sag a bit, but does not really bother me. Better than boobs sagging rite ;-)

Good morning mummies! TGIT! 1 more day to Friday. Hahaha for once I'm not looking forward to that as I have been clearing leave for the past 2 weeks.
Apple and luckymummy:
I'm keen to sign up for origins. Tried to contact 2 massage lady to find out about their service but they didnt pick up my call or return my sms. So... i case I kena aeroplane. Think I better stick to agency one LOL. Wanna sign up tog for the freebies? PM me ok [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Thanks.
re: nursing bra
Intend to buy better ones after my boobs have decided on the size they are going to be during breastfeeding. Heartpain to spend so much when I have no idea if they will fit. Haha so will wear my nuah nuah ones for confinement.
Chabby:
As long as we con't take the epidural too early or too late it will work ba. One of my SMH friend took it too late (when she already feel the urge to push), the effect only kick in after she deliver. Heartpain. Waste money. Need to remember that when you ask for epi, the anesthetist will not be immediately available, thus will need to wait for some time. If you took it too early, like for my #1, the effect wear out 1/2h before my #1 is born. It was too late to top up more. Hurts when I'm pushing. But it definitely helps as my contraction was very frequent, intense and and the contractions started 24 hours before I delivered. Epi helps me to regain some strength by numbing the pain so I get zzz and eat.
re: birth process
Mummies, don't think too much about it. We will have to cross the bridge when we reach it. In the meantime, for 1st time mums, do enjoy your par-tor days with your hubby as life will never be the same with a little bundle of joy. For experience mummies... we can do it again! Jia you every one [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Chabby,
Less than 2.5kg is considered low birth weight bb, but as long as bb above 2kg can still go home with u. If less than 2kg bb will hv to stay in hospital until they hit 2kg then can discharge.
I know cos my #1 was born 1.86kg @ 37wks. Stayed in hospital for a wk until she reach 2kg.

sputnik,
that's a very reasonable rate! I also found one contact, but again like someone mentioned, she told me to call her after I deliver. Now that I hear the stories about being stood up....I'm thinking if I should commit to an agency so no matter what I WILL get my massage.
jass,
do you think we can get an even better rate if we sign up at their actual shop? Does it work like those facial places where they hardsell you in person but potentially you can get more freebies?
huh...then what is the recommended timing to ask for the epidural? so many considerations...not too early, not too late...aiyoh.
chabby,
the videos are rather....graphic...my husband was quite stoic about it but I'm less so...but I guess we have no choice. and if women are willing to have more than 1 child it can't be all that bad.
low birth weight
I'm really dreading the number on the scale tomorrow. At the rate I'm putting on weight, I'll be lucky if my baby doesn't come out weighing more than 4kg. hehe

@Jass1408, totally agree with you that 1st time mummies shld enjoy Tian Mi Mi times with Hubby. Life will never be the same after having a kid. No more late night outs, no more movies, no more taking own sweet to dine liao. How old is your #1? Mine is 4 yrs on the way to our "freedom" when I wanna try for #2, my hubby asking me if I'm sure. whahaha.
jass,
have make up my mind on epidural a long time ago. And my FIL hint hint to me that one kid/grandchild too little.. he's hoping for 2 kids from me. hubby is the only son. sigh~ just take it as it comes bah.
luckymummy,
seen pregnancy books la. colour photos of a mum giving birth with half the baby out and abloody placenta. but i believe not as graphic as your video.
told my hubby not to stand anywhere beyond my (currently non-existent)waist line. worry he faint. later i've 1 more thing to worry about while giving birth. keke...he has a much lower pain tolerance than me.
timing of epidural..
dunno how. pray hard timing not too off and effect kick in in time. my sis ask for epidural quite late as she dilate very fast. (she deliver in 4 hours for both kids!!) so she advise me to ask for it early. be prepared that some mothers may vomit after administering epidural.
couple's time
sigh~ i'm married last dec and concieve in March.. so fast pregnant. dunno i shld be happy of sad about this. dun dare to go movies as i worry the sound effect too loud for the baby.
poormummy
your hubby very cute. he's very considerate towards you.

re: Low birth weight.
Try eating more meat. It is suppose to beef up your baby. My very petite, or should I say very thin good friend, who gave birth in July only gain 8kg in total at her last gynae visit. I think she was less than 50Kg when she deliver. Although her gyane mentioned that her baby could be small (about 2+ kg), he was born at 3Kg. The scan can only give an estimate of bb's weight.
Luckymummy:
I'm not sure, is there a shop? Haha
Poormummy:
Yes... kinda of lost the freedom to do whatever we want at whenever we want as we have to establish routine for our 'king-of-the-household'. The time we go out, we sleep depends on him esp for the initial part huh. LOL #1 will be 1 mth short of 3YO when #2 is born. Wah... I must say you are quite brave. Haha after a good period of 'freedom', its going to be hectic again. But good lah... 2 children can play together [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

@Chabby, considerate ah? Haha I think more for himself coz mummies are have the natural instinct over own kiddos however for Daddies, unless they are in auto-mode else got to remind and remind, nag and nag. It's like taking care of 2 boys in the household at times.
@Jass, 3Yr old is good age gap. Mine will be 4.5YO in Jan. Actually I didnt want to, my #1 kept asking for a sibling, thus I brought up the issue to my hubby - and bingo and first trial *shy* Hope he will get into his feet as a korkor soon and will not get into much sibling rivalry.

Nursing Bras - I notice that most nursing bras are full or 3/4 cup. I not very use to that coz I've always been wearing half cup ones. Have u gals come across any half cups nursing bras?
Try to buy those with shape ones, those without dont look as nice under tight Ts.

PM, I think the structure of the nursing bra cannot be a half cup one. First of all, the support may not be there, and secondly, maybe because of the clip to "release" the cup, it needs to be attached to the shoulder strap?
Kikapo, I thought the original one doesn't come with a hook? So have to wear like a tank top? I better go read it again..

applecrab and jass,
No shop then will have to settle for the email signup. But I'm still thinking about it and asking around more pple for their massage contacts. Jass if you need to then better go ahead with your booking.
About bra size after delivery,
I'm not actually very busty, always a confirmed not very full B cup before pregnancy, even now have at most increased by half a cup size, but the band width has gone up significantly. Will my bra size go up tremendously after delivery? Or no one except god will know the answer to this question?
I'm paranoid that I'll spend hundreds of dollars on bravado and then cannot wear...
