@Claire, @Jeanie: Thanks alot for the info. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Will buy 1 tube to standby.
@Charmaine: Sure, will probably buy one packet of Sofy Night pad to try too since it's so super long. Heh..
@wish_child: Last night before I fell asleep, I just told my hubby that I'm sure gonna miss bb's movements when she's out. Then he asked me why, so I told him that the feeling is very assuring and amazing. And it's like bb is telling me I'm not alone especially when I'm alone and feeling bored. Then hubby said I'm silly Hehe..

Good morning! Weekend passed fast!
Charmaine, Thanks! The Medela nipple cream I bought at $19.30 is the bigger tube..
Re: NLB Online e-books – didn’t know of these resources.. will come in handy in future! Thanks for sharing, Geri.
Wish child/Mami B, Jia you! A number of weeks to go…
Michelle, take care!
Got my hubby to go out shopping on my behalf… he also quite poor thing… work pretty late every weekday and every weekend gotta take “instructions” from me to complete our to-do-list for baby stuff.. and help with some of the chores.. (as I’ve been on bedrest for 2 wks plus)
Bought some more baby items:
- Tollyjoy babyliners (100s x2) promo pack $12.90 and wash cloths (6pcs/pack) $4.70 after 20% discount at John Little
- Short-sleeved rompers (7pcs/pack) at Mothercare at $39.10 after 15% discount for Amex card
- He saw baby swing on promotion at Mothercare.. price at $145 after 15% discount.
Experienced mummies, can I seek your advice whether you use swing or bouncer for your kids and do you find them useful? Which is better? There are also some which are swing convertible to high chair types… I heard from a friend she use the traditional rocker…. Do you know where to buy or how it looks like.. ?
-
Cotton disposable underwear: there is promo at Watsons too. 3 for $9.99. these are normal disposable underwear, not specially for maternity use, but personally I find them quite fitting and comfortable. (I’m quite small sized though .. hee) It’s free-size , hip 36-40”.
Bought some Laurier (3D Absorb-tif sheets) Heavy night pads as well to standby… any idea where to buy the Pureen adhesive maternity pads?

Morning Mummies!
Take care michelle..glad that both you & baby are fine.
Mummies, hang in there a while more and Jia You! Only ard 2 months to go! I reckon after the Xmas and New year, time will zoom past!
Claire: Wah, the watsons disposable undies are good price. I bought 2 packs yday at Guardian. $3.95 per pack. Hope 10 pcs enuff. Anyone has any idea how long the menses last after delivery?
I intending to get the Sofy Nightsafe too. Does it have the "net" for those dri-weave? I was using Whisper last time and the "net" irritated my skin..so I hope sofy dun have..imagine the net coming into contact with the stiches and wound. Ouch！
For Pureen maternity pads, i saw in Guardian. You can try ...they shld sell.
Swing and bouncer
I saw one model for Combi. $279. Quite cool and nice. Its a swing and rocker thing. press a button and the thing will rock to and fro...can adjust the height ..and when baby is older, can adjust the back and fold up the back area to use as a feeding chair. hehehe dunno if u can understand my desciption...
I bought the Tollyjoy napkin liners and Tollyjoy cloth diapers too...from Jusco at JB..super cheap! Cause its same price as SG but we benefit from exchange rate.
Claire: Dun worry..just rest first.. let your hubby help out as much as he can... For me, my hubby also work late and even on weekends, so I really dun like to wait for him if not the To-Do list will be always "To-Do".
Thats why on sat, I clean the baby's room, took out the shopping stuff from the bags lying around, move the cot and clean it, pack the room neatly. I even cleared up the storeroom and move the some bulky items and arrange neatly. I think in future, the house will be quite messy with children's toys and stuff...
Ikea
Sat, we went to Ikea to buy a changing table. Cost $59. It has 2 tiers. The height is around our waist level (I am 1.64m). I intend to use it as a bathing place too. Can put bathtub on the 1st tier and bathe baby. if not in use, can use it to change diapers for baby too...the 2nd tier can be used to put baby's toiletries.
I also have bought the J&J, top to toe wash and drapolene nappy rash cream and the Ru Yi oil..all from Guardian. not on promo though...think more or less completed the Shopping list...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
My gynae appt is this wed! Cant wait to see the baby again ...31 weeks now.

Articles on consuming Placenta-
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) experts claim the human placenta has been eaten by the Chinese for 2,500 years.
Dr Low Chai Ling, a medical director at the Sloane Clinic, says the Chinese believe it contains "qi"(Chinese for life force) and use it as a remedy for a whole range of problems such as lethargy, rejuvenating ageing skin and promoting breast milk production.
In Singapore, human placenta from China is readily available in a dried form from Chinese medical halls. Professor Xu Yi Jun, a physician from Ngee Ann TCM Centre, prescribes consuming 2g to 3g of powdered placenta daily to increase fertility and blood circulation and to make the body more resistant to disease.
===========
Dr Peter Chew, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Gleneagles Hospital, says that though people have been talking about "frying, drying and eating placentas" for years, his patients rarely ask to keep theirs.
He says: "Placentas are full of hormones, so theoretically, they should improve the complexion, even though there's no medical evidence to support this."
As for the possibility of dangerous side effects from consuming it, he says "there's no harm, seeing it's your own body's organ". But to be on the safe side, he recommends cooking the placenta before consumption.
========
Debi French was dreading the birth of her fourth child. She wanted the baby, to be sure, but she was terrified of being visited again with the overwhelming despair that came over her in the days and weeks after her last delivery.
French's midwife offered her an unusual remedy: She suggested the expectant mother ingest her own placenta as a means of allaying postpartum depression. The temporary organ was saved, dried and emulsified, then placed in gelatin capsules and taken by the mother in the months after the birth in December 2004.
"Before I actually did it, my friends thought it was weird," says French, 29, of Spokane, Wash., whose fifth child is due in August. "But when they saw how fast I recovered from my birth and they knew my history, they thought it was pretty neat. Now I have a lot of friends planning to do it."
The practice, known as placentophagy, is far from widespread and is received with great skepticism by more traditional medical experts. But among a small but vocal contingent of expectant mothers and proponents, it is strongly believed that the organ created by the woman's body to pass nutrients between mother and fetus and is expelled after birth is rich in chemicals that can help mitigate fluctuations in hormones believed to cause postpartum depression.
========
hose who advocate placentophagy, the eating of one’s placenta, in humans, mostly in modern America and Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, China, and the Pacific Islands believe that eating the placenta prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications. The most general benefit of placentophagy, according to recent research, is that placenta and amniotic fluid contain a molecule (POEF, Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor) that produces an enhancement of the natural reduction in pain that occurs shortly before and during childbirth.
==============
A testimony:
One of my MWs (MW- midwife) was telling me that she was a doula to a woman who had had to take some medication immediately post-partum. The medication was estrogen or somthing, and it had the foreseeable and immediate effect of causing her milk to completely dry-up, which the mother's obstetrician completely failed to mention to her before she took the medication.
Fortunately, the mother had saved her placenta. So, my MW cooked it for her, and the family ate it for dinner on Day 2 (after birth) with spaghetti noodles. I asked my MW...didn't they hesitate to eat it? She said that the mother knew that it was the only way to get her milk back in and fast. I said.. did it work? She said: Oh, yes. Very well.
Personally, I have difficulty imagining that I could eat my placenta raw because I have no experience with raw red meat, not even to prepare it for cooking. I do however eat cooked red meat... so I think that I could eat my placenta cooked (provided that someone were to cook it for me).
I had my most recent placenta encapsulated (see my post above)... I've been very fortunate to be able to take it. I'm now 3 months postpartum, and I have taken 2-3 capsules daily. This third post-partum period has been my best. I truly believe that the placenta capsules helped me.

Gregda-
Yes! When the kids come, the house will get messier. U should see the amt of toys Kae has. Lol. He has a huge collection of Transformers (that all my guy friends envy- so many transformers lor), tons of Hot Wheel cars and tracks, loads and loads of Lego... I've told him that he has to keep his toys well so that Noah won't be hurt by them and so that Noah can one day play with them.
Kae never put tiny foreign objects in his mouth, so believing that Noah will also be like him. =)
Like Gregda, my hubby is always working late or overseas... so I have to try to DIY, but this pregnancy really I feel more clumsy in size and being the heaviest I've ever been at more than 80kg, it makes it hard to do some chores that I could do when I was expecting Kae.
I really thank God hubby helped clean the aircons recently coz I can't climb up to get at them. I tend to lose my balance a bit these days- the other day, whilst standing on a downriding escalator, I suddenly pitched forward a little but caught my balance. Made hubby stand in front of me instead of behind me (and on his iphone) because I felt safer with him as a "barricade" before me and the rest of the escalator.
Decided to be less gungho and to wait for hubby to clear and we have cleared quite a bit... just not as fast as when I do it alone coz he has to co-op with me to do things. And we have diff styles of packing hahaha.

Update: Suffered from gastric attack again on Friday evening.. Vomitted everything i took the entire night (even water...).. Had stomach pains too.. but not contractions.. Thought i going to deliver somemore.. but well just gastric.. Doc say this is common with pregnant ladies.. Cos the baby is fighting for space with the mummy.. hence squeezing the stomach and causing everything to be thrown out.. In worst case scenario, may need to go A&E somemore.. Guess to be put on drip ba.. Luckily i recovered in time..
Packed bb's clothes.. Oh my!! So many.... I have a brand new set of 3 pc recieving blanket (luvable frens) and a crib sheet (luvable frens) too that I like to let go.. Bought too many liaoz.. Now I think better release some.. I even have a set of 5 pc romper pack (luvable frens) for 6 - 9 months that i might like to let go too.. PM me if you are keen. All boy's designs.. Too many clothes and stuff liaoz.. Scared cant finish in time...
Heard from my fren her son already wearing 1 yr old clothes and alot of her clothes wore only once becos he grows too fast.. So scary.. My gal took sometime to outgrow her clothes.. At 9 months, she can still fit her 3 months clothes...

Placenta Encapsulation got 10% Discount with INTHEWOMB. Seems like they are the only ones doing this. A friend of ours recommended because his wife went ahead with it and found it was very good.

Go with the one you will find more convenient to go.
Trust me.
If not waste money... that's what happened to me. Lol.
I've tried Slimming Sanctuary and Expressions before. Expressions was very good.

Rachel, Morning!! Maybe we can go together on 9dec thursday since we are meeting out for lunch.. =)
@felpoo: Bjorn Carrier have 2 types of material according to the sales girl at expo parenthood fair. 1 type with thick padding material (more heat) and 1 type with those airy/cooling material. If not mistaken Air Carrier is one with cooling material without thick padding, and without back support. The price from the spree is quite attractive. You might want to visit some shops to take a look on the carrier before buying from the spree.
@eviangal: the Ergo carrier only at $60? May I know is which Ergo carrier? Can we use it to carry infant?

Grace: Think Ergo only got 1 type right? Its the normal ones.. But I think only 4 colours to choose from and they dont sell the infant inserts. So its only suitable from 4 months onwards.
I own an Ergo too.. but not from this seller (that time dont have this lobang).. will prob use a recieving blanket for the extra support in place of the insert.

mummies here seems all well prepared! me still yet to buy anything! only 2 nursing top, some nursing bra and storage bottles for bm. very lazy to start to prep argh.. havent even dig out those nb clothes... havent even decide where my no2 gonna sleep. LOL! this time round really not so excited. feel bit guilty towards him..
i think the Robinsons sale this wed is only a one day event for members. but not so sure on this.
Mrs Ong: Nope the Ikea baby changing diaper table is not too bulky. It is made of light wood. The height is around my waist level (For 1.64m height).the length is slightly longer than a a baby's plastic bathtub.
Nashita: yep, Jusco at JB is really cheap..can go on weekdays to avoid the crowds..I did that and had a good time shopping.
Eviangal: Hope u are feeling better now.. Maybe try to eat small meals...may feel better?
Geri: Thanks! I'll go get Sofy then..Whsiper really causes me to itch badly ..cause of the netting.

hi mrs ong, doc at KK did not give me any advice/explanation why water bag broke.. they say got a lot of reasons... so..i have given birth via natural .. baby already in position and cervix already opened more than 5 cm.. did not use any other means 
michelle: Jiayou! they say BB born when in the 7th month are very intelligent and lucky [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
meantime, are u expressing your BM?
I heard that BB will be healthy if u give them BM and also hold them regularly.
So now u cant do confinement right, since u need to visit BB daily.
no matter what, try not to exert too much cos this time also must take care of yourself

Michelle: Glad to know you have delivered bb Marcus and both mother and baby are well. Good in a way too to deliver early. By the time its CNY, both mother and baby can enjoy CNY liaoz.. I am due on CNY itself.. Hence, if bb is born early, late or during, also cant enjoy CNY.
Keep us posted on your progress..
Thanks Gregda. I got better after vomitting for the whole night on Fri.. Sighz.. pity it wasnt a working day.. so no mc..

Hey all!
Back from NEX. Walk until leg tired siah. =) Went out with my Dad and Kae for lunch.
Michelle-
Nice that it was a natural birth. Labour was prob not that long right since Marcus is still in his 7th month? =) Just really glad he is healthy! =)
Which hospital is he at?
Baywater-
Got your email! Payment made upon collection to them =) Email u the form in a bit. =)
Alys-
Hi! =) It could be because you sleep on your left side only? I try to sleep more on left side too but from time to time, I turn to the right side.
Try not to sit or stand too long. =)
When are you able to start taking maternity leave?

alys: not experiencing what u described but guess it is probably got to do with posture and also the ligament pain..
if getting bad, better check with gynae.
Re: pain at belly
Recently i have sharp pains at a small spot of my belly, near the belly button.
the feeling is like something is tearing away from my belly.
I hope it is not serious cos i read that by 3rd tri there could be placenta abruption..
so far no other signs..
anybody know whether it is possible to check our placenta is ok?
i want to go check to buy a peace of mind.
my gynae should be out of town during this period and my next appt is 16 Dec

Hi baywater,
Hope your gal is recovering well! Don't worry too much about messy hse...health more impt lah!
Yes, Robinsons is having a closed door sales for members on Wed. I shd think that it applies to all its outlets but I'll b going to the one at centrept cos I feel that the nursery dept is larger there.
Which brand of diaper cream r u using? I use Desitin and it's actually cheaper to get it from BPs.
Claire,
Thanks for the info for on Babysafe items. Fingers crossed that they'll be participating in this coming Robinsons sales!!
For the netted panty, it's kinda provided by TMC (included in the bill of cos)!! hehe...
Re: Swing and bouncer
I did not use them for my boy...not useful IMHO and they outgrow it quite fast. Used a rocker instead...we got a Fisher-Price one...let me find the pic and post it later.
eviangal,
Hope u're feeling much much better alr. Take care n do drink more fluids to replace those lost...
Michelle,
Glad that both you and baby are fine! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
felpoo,
I have both Babybjorn and Ergo carrier...the babybjorn i have is the Synergy and Ergo is the normal one. If compare the shoulder strap padding, the ergo one is more padded and overall more comfy to use. But I find that the babybjorn more 'liang' for baby...and mayb cos we've been using the babybjorn for a longer time, my boy seems to prefer the babybjorn to the ergo.

Su-
I didn't use swing, rocker or bouncer with Kae. I didn't want him to get used to these. If not when u go people's house or on holidays & can't take it along with u, sibeh ley chey. XD
Ah Ching-
I think it is still round ligament pain. Basically muscle is stretching and sometimes, tears a bit, so it will hurt. Hugs. Dun worry k?
Placental Abruption usually comes with bleeding, rapid contractions, uterine tenderness as well... so mai kancheong. This sounds like it is still round ligament pain... =)
If you really want to check, go KKH, Level 2. =)

hi everyone,
are some folks still keen on sharing a b wax package? I called strip and they said cannot share. So next to check out is Honeypot.
Felpoo,
did honeypot confirm that the package can be shared? if not yet, I could try calling them tmw... there are some Mar 2011 mums that are interested too, one of them PM-ed me, so we might be able to make up the numbers.
