Aabunny: I got one from eBay (brand new)...Can go look for the seller I bought from if you're interested...I paid about $170 for a new set and I think in S'pore it costs about $300...I just read the testimonials from the website again and am amazed man. Really wanna start. Oh...And shipping didn't take that long also, about a week and half at max!

aabunny,
i got excited reading all the testimonials too so tried it out on my #1. i cannot 100% guarantee that all she's achieving now is due to babyplus, but she reaches certain milestones fast and is a very keen observer. she observes whatever we do and will learn/pick up real quick. but she's an imp lah. sometimes very impatient and very curious, will want to explore every single thing so it's kinda challenging to keep up with her. the best thing is she is a very sociable baby who will smile and chuckle with whoever is playing with her since her infancy days. maybe that's social EQ showing up earlier in her??
another plus point abt babyplus is that it will reduce colic in babies. not sure where is the link though. i guess you won't see all the benefits in any one baby. and since so affordable, just bought to try. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
ent29,
just one more week!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] and maybe you will be able to feel baby kicking in response to the 'thump-thump' sounds then.
leikela,
it's like menses cramps? probably womb stretching and enlarging? i had those pretty often for my #1. this time round not at all. if no bleeding/spotting it's probably okay. once got light pink or brown staining, then please see doctor.

leikela> ya i have that too, i told my gynae and he said is stretching. The cramps only last 1-2 second and went away, come only once/twice every few days. I'm first time mum, maybe will get that more often.
Re: BabyPlus>
Borrowed it from a friend. I'm using it start of this week (18th week). Need to do it twice a day and last 1hr each time. I try bring it to office but abit shy cause i find it abit loud. So did it at home before i head off to work and use it again when i got home after dinner. The strip abit small, I got it tighten to the last but still too loose for me. I use my stuck it into my pants instead. Keke.
Baby kicks when i uses it the first time but after that guess not as much movement. I will feel like sleeping whenever i uses it. Haha. Like counting sheep. zZz...

Re: BabyPlus
Starry, I know you mentioned before that you use it once a day...I'm wondering if it'll be effective still...MemorableChoc, you're so disciplined to use before work! It would be crazy for me to use before work! Wake up too early as it is!!

talk abt cramp. i have v bad leg cramp especially in the night which has disturbed my sleep for the past few days. the cramp is like muscle cramp (jiao suan) and always on my left leg. i've been asking my hb to massage for me to release the cramp. any effective way to reduce the leg cramp?
Ent, this is what my tour guide propose for a day trip to Ubud.

•Batik factory , silver smith , painting village , mas village wood carving
•Tegalalang , rice terrace
•Kintamani, lake & mount Batur view -( Rp 11.000/ pax ) , with Lunch (Volcano tour)
•Coffee plantation
•Tirtha empul temple ( Rp 15.000/pax )
•Ubud center, royal palace
•Dinner at Bebek Bengil restaurant
Another day trip, we will be going:

thanks lynzi for the clarification. am looking for bottoms, used to like to buy loose tops and tight bottoms... now my bottoms don't fit. Most of my tops are still okay.
btw, any recommendations where to get nice maternaty evening gowns? have to attend a couple of weddings...

memorable,
you can actually adjust the strap even more. i managed to fiddle with the thick part of the strap and squeezed it in through the plastic ring. need to use some strength. otherwise, tie the 'excess' strap using rubber band?
re: babyplus
i am trying to use 2x a day but kinda difficult. although possible lah, 'cos i will wake up like 6am to prepare my babe for my mom and dad to pick her up. then i'll go back to bed and snooze till 7.45am when it's time to prepare for work. actually using once a day will help too (according to some testimonials on the website), but best is follow instructions do it 2x a day.

frenlop,
can try the ginger cream? the heat from the cream might ease the cramps.

leikela,
can go about doing your usual things. i always chill on the couch with my favourite HK drama, cold juice/drink and enjoy the baby kicks! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] later on in 2nd tri, you can also start playing some classical music and place headphones on tummy for baby to hear.

tingsly: we same height....shortie! heheehee
Now am around 52-53kg, read the chart which ent29 posted, i think our weight gain per week should be not more than 500g! Gosh...how to keep to that, since last week, my appetite increase! Just wallow up 2 mini bak chang, hee hee!
rainzz: if u go ON or GAP website and check out their maternity wear sizing, usually they will recommend u buy same size as pre pregnancy, if u're concerned will balloon very big since expecting twins, buy 1 size bigger will do.
Yesterday just sieve through all the maternity wear i collected from friends/colleague, i don't think i need to buy much. the most few pcs for mix and match, that's all. I really 'bu she de' to buy too many, cos' only going to last a few mths, i rather spend the money for nice clothes after i regain my pre-preg figure or slimmer, hahaahhaa!
