Ydy my sis told me to sign up for prenatal aqua exercise at KKH but it's on Saturdays leh. Sianz... Wish to find some activities on weekday afternoons to kill time. I scared everyday eat & sleep will put on weight very quickly.
tdy's paper got advert on seminar by Stemcord to be held in July. Include talk on pregnancy care, breastfeeding and info on cord blood banking. Think admission's free. Anyone going?
I also think of getting insurance for bb but prefer to stick to 1 agent settle all my policies. Currently with AIA. I think if sign up for Mt A's ladies card got 6 mths' Great Eastern insurance for bb?
More mummies find out gender this wk liao. Have you all started to brainstorm for bb name? Or wait bb born bring to fortune-teller get name? Whenever we brainstorm for name, we sure end up laughing then stuck, no conclusion. Coz hubby's surname is "Zhu", sounds like pig. Most name combi end up a potential nickname/joke. Haiz.. nvm, still got 5 mths to think thru!

Jac: Same!!! I also went to perm my hair just before CNY this year, before that I was a rebonding person heh. Okay lah I like the fact that with permed hair no need to comb 
MamaAsh: Wow it's really great that you manage to lose weight after breastfeeding! I also gain close to 5kg liao, I'm currently in Wk17 (realise our EDD is ~3days apart!). But this is my first child leh haha so I got no excuse for the fast weight gain ooops.
CT: Ohhh so total cost at KKH is about $6557 then? Hmm if that's the case then it seems like actually Mt. Alvernia cost is still quite comparable, because for Caesarian w GA the Medisave will be $3500 and cash portion between $2625 to $3315, depending what kinda single room you choose. I also not sure what their deluxe / super deluxe means haha, haven't gone for the hospital tour yet.
Chan PL: Eh I didn't know signing up for Mt. A ladies card gives Great Eastern insurance??? Better go back and look through the brochure again haha blur me just paid the money without looking at what goodies it comes along with. As for names, my hubby has chosen the name Ariel if our baby turns out to be a gal, same name as Little Mermaid hee. Our choices more limited, coz he wants the name to be biblical. Chinese name... probably just think of it on our own, won't be going to fortune teller.

Jac: Mine is the normal medical plan, AVIVA myShield which includes all hospitalization (out patient and dread diseases covered as well) benefits (in fact i am covered till private and if i choose to go to govt and want to get into class B, i get cash refund) and i am topping up cash for rider premium. Payment is annually. Cash is abt: $240+. Cpf is abt: $158+. And becas at tat time i took this plan and they had the baby coverage for freee (it was a promo), i took it. So, my baby is covered for free. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] My agent is also my friend. So, am comfortable la. Anythin, can disturb her. hehe..

Talking about not being able to sleep, I woke up after 4hrs of sleep for a pee and can't seem to get back to sleep after 'flipping' about for an hour. Can feel a headache coming in, it's been like this on and off for a while.
So envious of mummies attending gynae visit recently and knowing their baby's gender, I still have to count down to 20 Jul..

Ace,
Thanks for the info. Will keep in mind when i ready to sign on the cordblood storage.
gbh,
What's ur experience like with cordlife? Are u going to sign up with the same co. for #2?
Dawn,
I googled this for you. Check out the tips for low lying placenta.
http://www.healthcaremagic.com/healthpage/placenta-is-low-lying
Basically, they say no hard and heavy lifting. There is also a high chance placenta will move upwards as u progress into later stages. If thats the case, no need to worry too much yah.
Jac & Kimiko,
I do frequently have problems falling asleep after a late nite visit to toilet. Geez... getting annoying.
Jac & Jas,
Yah! My fren got to noe at 12th wk too but my baby not very cooperative. Cross my fingers that I can see the gender tmr! Hands itchy to buy some stuff...
Kimiko,
Very fast wan. 21 july juz around the corner.
Anyone going for hypnobirthing course? It's suppose to teach u how to reach a state of deep relaxation to bring you thru' easier labour process.

good morning to all!
Yallo: Mt A card also got discount for family health screening, discount for 1-2 bedded, special rate for prenatal course. I've yet to sign up for the card though. Thot of doing so together with prenatal course registration.
Shasha: Stemcord seminar will be held on 16 July, 11-5pm. You can view the details here: http://www.stemcord.com/seminar.html
Ace: apparently Mt A card also got tie-up with Stemcord. Not sure what's the special price. If your lobang better I'll contact you. Thanks!
Kimiko/Jac: I also wake up 3-4 times a nite to pee. Initially cant get back to sleep but now no problem. Sometimes even doze off for a few min on toilet seat. I checked those preg website, say it's common to urinate often at nite due to increase blood volume. Bad news is it'll continue till we give birth.

Hi Dawn, how are you coping with depression? Please don't worry too much about your low placenta at the moment. Try your best to follow doctor's advices and hope for the best, don't think negatively k?
On the baby's gender issue, my gynae didn't want to make any guess at all. Kept telling us to wait for detailed scan, making me so anxious because It seems like I'm going to miss GSS by the time I know baby's gender. Though it's approaching, 20 Jul is like so near yet so far. Probably that's why sometimes after getting up to pee I can't sleep anymore.. Too anxious and keep thinking about things

hi all,
Dawn, my doc also casually mentioned my placenta on lower side at wk16, think most times, it'll move up slowly as we progress.
Same thoughts as u, 2nd preg like giving me more worries, is it cos our uterus like gone "hay wire" after the 1st birth? haiz... on top of it, i still gotta wait for amnio result plus worry abt detail scan too. First preg, i was more excited with every scan but now more worried instead.

Hi mommies!
Just to update:
I'm having a girl! Actually was told so since week 13 but doc just kinda confirmed last week as the 3 lines were seen. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Going into my 19th week and I m still vomiting..With bad heartburn still.. Every nite I'll wake up every 2 hrs to pee.. My friend who is in her third trimester is waking up like 10 times a nite! Sigh.. Seems like a long way to go Mann!
I totally agree that while being preg is a blissful thing, the worries that come with it is uncountable.. It's indeed tough yet admirable being a mother!
Great job, all mothers & MTBs out there!
As for cord blood banking, I think if u r taking the 21 years package, cordlife will be slightly more cost saving. Thinking abt all the costs to incur for having a bb, it's really tough having & raising one in Sg! Despite the fact that one can choose not to pamper the kid, you can can't help but want to provide the best possible.. BBs, u all better be gd ok!

hi mummies~
ltjabi,
there is always a chance that initially is a girl, but turn out to be boy. depends on the experience of the doc, and how detail they can capture the image of the baby. sometime, it also could be due to wrong image being shown on the screen that resulted wrong prediction.
Flee,
Congrats. Little princess on your way [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
jass,
do take care of yourself. try not to lift heavy stuffs or exercise or walk too fast.

For stemcord .. Wat I understand is tat they hv 2storage place n it is highly secure
Most of my church ppl r w Stemcord n since my gynae is tied up with them n the promo last mth is better than Cordlife..
Thus my hubby decided to sign with Stemcord.
I had a friend who did a comparison last mth.. Said he will go w whoever tat is of a better offer
Thus mayb u can share w us abt the storage of Cordlife

Hi Ace,
as per my understanding, main diff is that stemcord stores into two packs at 2 diff locations at Sci Park I& II respectively. Cordlife only stores one pack at one of the Sc Parks. However, in terms of technology, Cordlife claims to be able to extract more stem cells out of the cord blood. Cordlife oso provides some level of insurance(US25K) should anything happens to the cord blood resulting in it being unable to be used.
i was thinking hard on a decision too.. most likely to go for cordlife.. hope this helps.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
