Flee: yes this was mentioned in the donation FAQ. actually the answer is yes if your cord blood is still theer and not used... but usually you wont need your own cord blood.. the theory is if someone get some health problem.. usually they cant use their own cord blood to help themselves. they need someone else to help them as what is missing in their own cord blood needs to be obtain from others....
Hi Flee, Congrats to you on yr little princess!!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Am in my week 18 and also having vomiting every morning and occasionally at night. And heartburn every night. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] But i drink milk just before bed (2hrs before i go zz) and it helps a bit. Mayb you want to try tat to see if it helps for you.
Kimiko: Jul 20 will come fast!!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Ace: Don worry. I am attending this antenatal programme weekly in KKH and they did touch on low placenta. Most of the time, it usually goes up later months.

Thanks AshMama for update of list. My girl will be my #2 child. Thanks!
Jacqueline, I am advocate of infant being in the car seat since their first ride in our car. In UK, if you do not have a car seat installed, the midwife from the hospital will forbid your baby from checking out of the hospital!! I always think it is wise to spend a little more on a safe seat than to regret later. If you are no consistent in keeping the baby in the car seat, eventually, your baby will not want to sit in the car seat. Like any other parenting, we should be consistent in what we do with the kids so they know what to expect and where the boundaries lies. This is esp if you need to drive the child around alone.
I strongly suggest you do not compromise on your child's safe for a few hundred dollars of savings. It is not worth. Furthermore, the traffic police are pretty stern with the penalties when they catch children unbuckled in the car. My cousin's husband was fined for a child not buckled in the seat and my cousin carrying their baby 2 years ago. This happened not long after my mom begged me to carry my 4 days old boy in my arms as she thought he looked "poor thing", and I explained how important it is to have him in the car seat..
Yes, use the car seat carrier first then change to car seat then the 5-point booster seat. Try to keep the kid in the 5-point harness car seat as long as possible, its for their safety. My son is taller and heavier than average, therefore, by 1 year old, he could sit in the Britax Boulevard. Now at about 2, he is fitting in the Britax Frontier 85 well. So this trip to USA, we are going to bring back one.
His stroller was a travel system, so it comes with a car seat carrier. Your friend is very right, the car seat carrier is great!! I love mine though it can be heavy for me when he is sleeping inside, more so I had a C-section.
gbh, most of my gf bought combi cos the wheels are 360degree spin. But when we went to look, he immediately said no cos the wheels are too small and seemed unstable. I wanted a Peg Perego and it was my gf that said the Zippy is similarly stable and safe w/o having to pay so much. I only paid $850 for mine, but MIL already thought it's expensive because the USA Graco travel systems only cost $450 then. If I was in USA, I could get Graco for a mere $200!!!.. Things are too over priced here.
gbh, I salute you to want so many kids. my gf my age wanted 4 too!! I also salute her. Singapore Govt love you deep deep!!
RE: 2nd hand car seat
Only if the car seat was from a trustd source and that it had never been in an accident before. Likewise (touchwood) if there is accident when there is a car seat in the car, it's best to replace.
I lend my car seat carrier to 2 friends between my #1 and this pregnancy. by the time I deliver, it should be back to me as the baby should be big enough for his own car seat.
CP, I am the impulse buyer at times, but when I have a shopping list, I do better. But for baby, I hope I can resist.. Now that I know it's going to be a girl, I better restrict my feet.
ChanPL. most peopl I know recommend the use of playpen. 1. cooler for Singapore weather; 2. portable and easy carriage in case you intend to put it closer to where you are in the day, or even when need to lug it along during holiday trips 3. safer, because it's netted, the baby's limps won't get caught between the railings like in cot/ cot bed.
In my husband's family, they have a very weird concept that baby should be sleeping in a cot or bed, and must be new (!!!), so when I took a used cot from my neighbor, my MIL wasn't was pleased, she insisted to pay for the cot. so my hubby ended up buyin a crib, a cot bed and a chest of drawers from mothercare and costs as much as $1600!!! then the crib lasted us about 5mths, the cot bed was retired before he turned one, and since then he has been sleeping on the super single mattress on the floor, so that he does not flip flop so much in the night that caused him to bump all 360 degree of the cot. I received a big playpen, just to play and it's also a white elephant. So, in summary, we really do not know what will work for our child, in the path of discovering, we will ended up spending on something not useable for our kid. I just hope my #2 will do better.
One thing I never recommend is Moses basket.
RE: Low Placenta
Usually it will move up by the later stage of preg, if it doesn't then had to do C-section.
RE: Cord blood banking
I am advocate for storing baby's cord blood and I am with Cordlife as well, you can find my note in my other fb page, babiesbreaths.
As we may relocate, therefore the transportation packing for cordlife is better. Secondly, according to surgeons, when cord blood is needed in the surgery, they do no only thaw what is enough, they thawed all!! SO, what Stem cord claims on storing in different vials so that the cord blood can be used in another occasion is not going to happen. I also trust "plastic" bag to "glass vials" that can be broken during tranportation.
Anything I missed? Gtg..

Dear Safi,
I hate heartburn & vomiting! i tired milk before but it ended up as vomit still, worse is that milk when thrown up is so sour! I was on some medication for this bad heartburn but it has come to a point that it didnt help much.. as it progresses to being erratically bad on some days, i just pray that such days come less or disappear!!!
Ace, in terms of better deal, if u go for one shot payment for 21 years, Cordlife can save more.
Jac, if we get the same plan thru ur fren, will he/she oso sponsor us a stroller?! hee.. *just asking for fun lah..*

hee.. *just asking for fun lah..*flee, yes bfly is rite... if urs wasnt used by anyone, u can use first at a "lower" cost... cuz there are cases tha some people banked their cord blood with commercial banks and ended up tha they cant use tha cord blood and have to get from the public cord blood bank instead... also, the public bank will check on the "quality" of the cord blood donated...so even if u wanna donate, there's a questionaires to be answered etc...
Ace: DONT CARRY HEAVY STUFFS!!! Ask yr colleagues to help you k. Get the guys to help you move arnd! Tats wat i do here! hehe.. Actually, i also walk pretty fast and my hubby has to tell me all the time to slow down. So, now i consciously walking slow though sometimes i feel retarded walking at tat pace. But, anythin for our baby safety! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Flee: Oh dear! i use to vomit milk as well. But now, its ok.. Try avoiding oily and spicy food for time being. I will pray for you as well tat it goes off soon!!

Ace,
you can use BB's CDA a/c to pay half of the 21 years fees.
wat KK mentioned is rite too.. my doc mentioned that if needed, all available reserve has to be used, so it doesnt matter how many packets u store them into. in this case, if cordlife can harvest more cells fr the cord blood available, it should be better too.
well, one plus point from dual storage (other than diversifying the risk) is the potential for stem cells regeneration. Else, there's abt it i guess..
actually u can take some time to read from both their websites.. however, i find that cordlife's is more informative.
Safi,
thanks for keeping me in your prayers! i think our EDDs r pretty close.. hope u'll find out bb's gender real soon n let's get over the vomiting cum heartburn stage fast!

KK: You hv written a detailed & sensible comments on the issues we faced.
Yes, I strongly agreed on the importance of using a carseat irregardless of age..more so for infants as they are so fragile. My 5.5yrs old boy is still in the high back carseat as he's too light for his age so play safe don't promote him to booster seat. I'll still try to put my 7.5yrs old girl in her booster seat whenever I can for more protection. I do use a Moses basket passed down from my nephew but I do agreed no pt buying 1 as the baby will outgrown it v fast.
Agreed that playpen is more feasible for our hot weather. Anyway, I use both.. Playpen for day downstairs & cot for night upstairs. Playpen can be easily caries around if you frequent M'sia or sometimes going back to mom's place to sleep..
Now my headache is which pram to buy..so many types.. All so costly...so different from those used by my older kids...
I used Cordlife for both my kids & will stick to them for my 3rd kid. My 2 brothers used Cordlife for their darlings too. If you speak to the reps & do a detailed study & comparison, you'll find that Cordlife is better & more reliable tho' costlier. I was impressed by their personal service & touch when my girl was born in 2003 where cord blood banking was new here...
Went to Robinsons to shop for baby clothes this pm. Their discounts q attractive.. Regular items with 20% + 15% for card members. Cloth nappies come in yellow color in Mothercare - now 15% disc. Heard they ran out of pink color ones. Anyway, I'm expecting a boy so will be v envious if I see the pink color option..ha..ha..

Good morning ladies. I went to look out for cordy over the weekend; I didn’t know it was so ex. Haha. But after I told my mil tat I wan to take, she start to nag. She asks me dun anyhow take herbs. The pills im taking everyday contains cordy. Is 750mg enough for everyday?
littledarling,
yeah..both baby kingdom and babymart are 2 different warehouse. both warehouse are quite nearby, walking distance. u can see see look look 1st then decide. I bought different item frm both warehouse after compare price previously.
Jacqueline,
can check with ur dentist and tell them that u r pregnant now. i think normal cleaning should b no problem but it's also depends on ur body condition..
Ling,

morning mummies... it's monday again...
Jac: haha.. i tot only me forget my pills!! i only take folic acid in the morning & multi vit @ nite.. but always forget my multi vit! haha... dare not have more.. gynae was asking if i wanna take fish oil, i say no... haha... as for strollers, i suggest u have a look around, cos my feel is most of the strollers have controlled pricing, so shd not have too much a diff...
CP: Agree on car seats.. we had been telling our kids how impt it is to be seated in car seats & when hb happened to see accident on roads, will tell my 6YO & 4YO that if they dun put on seat belts, they will fly out of the car if accident happened! so they super scare, first thing to do when in car is buckle seat belts!
Ace: abt cordblood, as wat many mummies commented, we selected cordlife due to the method of storage, we feel it's better to have the blood stored in 1 location cos if there's a need for it, even that 1 bag is not enuf... so we tot can reduce contamination too... but of cos, up to individual lah... we had been paying yearly fees for it, cos even though there might be savings if we pay upfront till 21 yrs, we dun see the need to put in the lump sum of $ there...
littledarling: rgd swimming, i still wear my normal swimwear, cos very stretchable! haha...

Ling,
oic..yeah, better dun anyhow eat cos chinese herbs sometimes will b heaty..
Jacqueline,
actually for both marts, u can check out their strollers, soemtimes they really give very good deal for those strollers especially old model.
but hor from my experience, sometimes i foudn that when Robinson/Taka/mothercare having sales, it's really cheaper if compare to both marts. so, really have to do a research 1st..
btw, i bought my baby cot at baby kingdom..

Actually my friend recommended me this store called Cheong Choon Store at Chinatown. Blk 34 Upper Cross Street #03-132. Tel: 65323855. Nothing much in the showroom, but they have catalogue, so you can visit departmental stores to check out what you want and let them know the model no. and they will let you know the price.
They open Mon - Sat from 1.30 pm onwards until i think 6 or 6+ pm. Can call and ask. They do provide delivery.
Previously i bought quite a lot items from them. The lady boss is very friendly..

Morning all!
I'm taking multi-vit, calcium & fish oil too, gynae said no need folic acid specially coz the multi-vit contains it liao. I was told by a friend not to take multi-vit and calcium pills together, coz apparently the iron content in the multi-vit pills will render the calcium useless??? Anyone heard anything like that too? But yah swallowing the pills are very torturous! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Ehh what's cordy ah? Sorry for being suaku. I'm the type that's very scared of eating TCM coz of the bitter taste heh.
Jac: Go dentist clean teeth should be no problem, just be sure to let your dentist know that you're pregnant.

Good Morning mummies!! I hope yr weekend went well!
Do any of you felt yr baby heartbeat? Over the weekend, i felt the heartbeat in my stomach, but i m not sure if its the baby's heartbeat or my pulse.. a bit confused... Didnt know whether to be excited or jus pass it off as mine.. :-(
I am also taking muti-vit, calcium and fish oil but i have huge probs swallowing them! N the multi-vit pills causes me to vomit as soon i take them. So, i jus stop taking them temporary. goona see my gynae this wed and want to let her know.. But am guilty cas there are times i don take the pills.. :-(
littledaring: I am going swimming, not to do laps but just to float around and swim arnd. Apparently, i feel very fresh after the mini exercise. hehe.. I can still fit into my swimming costumes cas it is stretchable!
Jac: I know you cant do dental surgery when you are pregnant and but cleaning shouldnt be a prob. But jus let yr dentist know u are pregnant.

I had also taken 4 pieces of durian over the weekend .. (finally given to temptation and my family had it in the fridge) .. Super nice but I retricted myself to jus 4pieces [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I had also bought a 3/4 pant and a full length pant from Spring .. Wow the pant cost $60+ .. I hardly spend so much on a pant b4 ..but it is super comfy ..
Really hope I can come across good sales for maternity clothes .. Coming to 17wks now ..and I discover I cant fit into some of my clothes le [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] quite uncomfortable

I was advised by the clinic nurse to take calcium n multiV at least 2 hrs apart.
Ace, haha.. I realized I kinda misread ur post on the wriggle of fingers.. Tot u saw it on ur tummy skin... Paiseh..
Aside from the hard lump at the side at nite, this morning I had the first real kick from BB! Felt it once and I put my palm at the spot and BB kicked again! Haha...

My gynae started me on multi-vit, fish oil & calcium at wk 16. When i asked abt folic acid, he studied my blood report a while then said no need, coz multi-vit pills have. I can't take my pills right after a meal else will feel sick. Usually I wait 1-2 hrs later.
Jass, the chinatown shop will be able to get those models we see at dept stores at cheaper rates? Or only can choose from their cataloge?
Ydy couldn't resist and finished 1/3 box of durian. Soon after felt bubble/tapping on lower abdomen. Maybe bb likes durian? hehe

haha!! Ling, there isn't any connection... PruFirstGift is a policy that parents can get when mum is 18w preg.. this will cover the mother and baby... after delivery, it will be transferred to the baby but will also cover the mum for 3 years from date of policy.
here's the story of the stroller, our pru agent is also our friend.. so, hubby tell our friend who is also our agent to sponsor us a stroller since we got some policies and investments with him as a gift to our baby lor.. so, it's just purely a deal/joke between us as friends lah.. lolx!!
