hehe yes so many sales now! But there will be another few rounds so no worries. I also started only when I was 5M preggy when I know bb's gender!
Things to buy will mostly be the most basic gadgets: breast pump, strollers, car seat, bottle steriliser, bottles, nursing bra, nursing pad, etc. But all these you will be able to get a good price anytime of the year! Usu we go baby hypermart/baby kingdom (those warehouse kind) to see. They have a showroom with all the strollers and car seats. All at the best prices. And these prices are also the same as what we get during those expo sales. The best expo sale I have been to is the one organised by parenthood magazine if I recall correctly. They usu have diapers from reputed brands like pampers on discount! I think the babycare festival this weekend is by mother & baby... need to check out the vendor list to see if its worth to take a look OR usually I wait for other mummies from other threads etc to post and comment about the fair lah.. haha...
Right now.. I think we juz nd to get more milk powder for mummies, stretch mark cream/gel/oil and new underwears! Yes! It's the first garment that I "outgrew" usu... For bras, if it gets tight, you can extend it using the bra extension. Not a good time to buy nursing bra coz you wouldn't know how much bigger you will get once the milk comes in after you deliver! So buy closer to delivery. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
For the bb essentials such as diaper rash cream/moisturiser etc I usu order online from US! So much cheaper than SG. Bulk purchase is a good place to start too. Hehe slowly ya... my gynae last time gave me a bb shopping list during my 2nd trimester! Will scan and upload once I get a new one from her k! (I gave away my old one!!)
So now can do window shopping and keep the prices in mind for comparison!
