bfly,
re cord blood storing,
i dun think that we cannot use own cord blood to help own body, in fact i think its the opposite leh... own cord blood or sibling's cord blood has a much higher chance of matching... if im not wrong, cord blood contains stem cells that can be used for treatment for certain critical illnesses... like eg leukaemia etc...

hi all,
Thank God, my amnio results is out and it's normal! And confirmed it's bb boy this time... Results came out pretty fast, less than 2wks for normal result.
Yes i can also feel bb kicks quite obvious already, hb felt it too when he put his cheeks on my lower abdomen.
Me too, sometimes i'll feel like vomiting cos of either calcium or fish oil pills... I'll try to take just before my meals usually then not so bad.

oic. but i think we can also use own cord blood right? touch wood but if my bb got some illness, i think the best thing is his/her cord blood that will save the bb's life, correct?

kk,
i dun like combi strollers, like what u said, the wheels too small n its too light for safety too (will topple easily)... i appreciate having a bigger wheel stroller esp if u need to go over small gutters n potholes... smaller wheels will get stuck... that time i got my zippy at some midnight sale... i rem its cheaper than the peg pegero n these 2 models were similar so i got that... still using it for my #1 now... love it to the max!

My gynae strongly against taking ginseng during pregnancy.. In fact, he adv not to anyhow take Chinese herbs unless those specifically for pregnancy. Bird nest is ok tho he isn't convinced of its benefits. Anyway, my in-laws sponsor & cook the bird nest as they're true believers of it's benefits so I juz consume without complain lah...
Cleaning teeth is ok but not major procedure on teeth. In fact, my dentist adv regular checkup to ensure we hv sufficient calcium for our teeth.
I also can't stand the many pills prescribed by gynae. I'm given folic acid, calcium, iron & fish oil. No specific instructions given so I pop them all at 1 go leh...

gbh: High-5, my sister is delivering on 25 Jun! 
Hers will be via caesarean though so exciting hor, many babies in the family. I told her to let me have "hands-on training" for bathing baby etc hee hee, practical better than theory!
Ace: I'm hungry too! Just munched two packets of biscuits.
mamaAsh: Oh can help to update my next gynae appt date too please? It's on 23 Jun, thanks a lot! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Ling: I'm also around wk18 and cannot feel a thing too! Always joke that got too many layers of fat in between, that's why cannot feel But yah lah, even my mother also say it's still considered early. She warned me that later the kicks will be so frequent that you wish you can't feel them! Especially when you're trying to find a comfortable position to sleep at night haha

I'm going for gynae appt this fri. I hope my gynae can tell me bb gender. I can't wait to know! The suspense is killing me!
oh my wife used to do spree for kate s bags...but now US site dun allow overseas purchase anymore...
i do sprees from china...kids' clothes like rompers can be as cheap as $0.50 before shipping and other charges...nice nice dress up clothes cost more la...many clothes sold in stores are made in china anyway but cost 5-10 times more...

clothes wise not bad. of cos i think cannot be compared to branded names (most are made in china anyway) but alright to wear at home...
price does make a very big difference. if you want good quality then maybe a romper is about $2 compared to a lousy one which would be about $0.50.
oh...if you don't understand chinese, you can let me know what you want as detailed as possible and i can source for you. you can always see if it's what you want from the picture before you decide. see the picture then decide if it's worth based on the price...
taobao sells anything you can think of...i bought my photography studio lights and other stuff from there...about 30% of the price of similar products sold in shops here...
don't buy electronic stuff though...they are using 110W while we are using 240W. and any damage during shipment is difficult to claim from seller. things like clothes are best to buy from them cos cheap and light...difficult to damage also...

Hi all mummies + daddies! Sorry for the missing in action as i was very busy with my #1 birthday celebration as well as my own. =) I went for my appt on 2nd July, baby is doing well, very active and kicking. But can't see gender yet. I'm 14 weeks as of today.
Mamaash, pls help me update the table:
Next appt: 30th July
EDD: 10th Jan 2012
I kena UTI yesterday.. went to mount alvernia A&E. So sian.. currently on antibiotics for 5 days. Doc said mine was a slightly serious case of UTI. =( keep wanting to pee, and when peeing, so painful! and blood in urine also, the urine collected also pink in color. But today is much better, still a little pain in peeing. Hais.. anyway the doc says due to our changing hormones, we can be quite prone in contracting UTI. So mummies, pls get those feminine hygience wash and use it often. Also drink cranberry juice often too if you are ok with the taste.

Morning mummies and daddies!
Nothing new to add but I'd just like to express my appreciation on your conversations about cheaper places to buy stuff. They're invaluable for a new MTB most of whose friends are either single or expecting like me, so I probably won't get many quality hand me downs. Thanks!
