Also sometimes if the "demand", if they are popular, they also dare to charge more...ermm some CL is v straight lei...they only cook for mother and look after bb....wont even cook for hub...so if she cook for ur children maybe charge more lo

had constipation on sat and diarrhea on Sun, probably the Vitagen that helped me.
Never thot of Prune Juice..definitely will try that when it hits me again.
At last got a good 8hr night sleep last night after 4 straight nights of 4.5hrs sleep..hope its gets better...
jkids: hope u feel better by now..
Appleseed: i think you can start with a cot first cos my sis got both when she had her first and the playpen started collecting dust after awhile..maybe you can decide on the playpen after baby's born
bought Young Parents mag yesterday. felt so backdated as I haven't been reading anything recently. Interesting articles on planning baby's birth this mth..
Happy Monday everyone!

kekekee my tummy will feel funny if i drinks vitagen now
jingles- that is non-cny rate. if i deliver early, i will ask maid to cook and look after bb instead after cny than the CL take over.
i have plan early cos my maid wants to go back after 4 years for 3 weeks and i don think i can cope with 1 bb + 3 yr old son. so might ask my maid to go back during the confinement period. so i only look after the big one.
its not cheap compared to 2008, my gyne bills (package + delivery) increase by $800 and now CL $400. maid salary also goes up next year too cos paying the old rate $380 heard the current rate is $420 or $450. my son childcare also increase another 10%, which is another $100 more.

I booked TMC single bedder in 2007 oso..din remember too much abt the ward..cos i bascially only stay for 1 nite..the other nite was spend in the labour ward...
I had a frend who just delivered last wk..told me when she check in.. TMC dun have any single bedder available..so she stay in 2 bedder..until the single bedder is available in the evening..
For me..this time round..i just choose the most basic single bedder..

oh is it. so much problems with TMC single wards ah. I also heard my friend mentioning that her friend had to ssit in the corridor for a long time cos they didnt have a ready bed. That was why she asked me "why u book TMC, dont u kw their standards dropped" -_-. I reserved a single room already, about 3weeks ago.
As for the CL.. ya... mine is very particular, she said she does not cook or wash clothes for anyone else except me & bb. And she only works 9 - 6. Thus she's cheaper at 2.2. Sigh.. So im getting my mum to stay overnite for the 1st 2 weeks 1st and see how. Im asking her to do 1.5mths though, heard that it's better for mummies to rest longer..
Oh I think Im getting the sniffles.. sigh.. have been sneezing non-stop since this morning.. v sien.. can i self medicate (e.g. panadol cold relief) ?? if not I have to see GP tmr already.. I dont really feel like seeing a doc now for fear of catching more virus from the clinic.. sien...

Lush; don think the standard drop now. i experience it 3 years back. i have to wait for 1/2 day i remember a lot of beds maybe along corridor too cos too tired to observe the place.
i think you still can change.
wow for your CL, she goes back after 6pm? means you need to eat early dinner let her wash the plates before 6pm. actually, some say during confinement night time is the most important. bb will need another 3 more feeds.

thanks ladies for your comments.
i did heard about waiting for rooms to be available and also heard about people choosing mount a for their next delivery after their experience with tmc. but my gynae is with tmc. though he delivers at mount a also, i still prefer to stick to tmc though my experiences with them were only so-so.
but if i choose single room, will they give me 2-room juz because there is no single room available?
can my hub stay over for all types of single room? thinking of choosing the cheapest single room one...

you should only take normal panadol. if you want stronger medicine, better see doctor.
jkids
i took the most basic single room at TMC, and requested for a cot for hubby. can't rmb if they charged. but there's enough space in the room for hb to stay over.
where to buy cot
my cot from #1 was bought from one of the kaki bukit wholesalers. the price there is about 15-20% cheaper than retail, which is the same as what is offered at sales or expos. Except you can buy from there anytime and you don't need to rush with the crowd. They also have good range of car seats, strollers and other baby gear there. If you have a car, I feel it's worth the trip to drive down and take a look.

@ echo<font color="aa00aa">, how was your experience with the kaki bukit wholesalers? I read on some old thread that the prices are actually just as steep as the departmental stores and the service rather appalling. Not sure how true that is..
Oh dear, is it common to have to book the rooms/wards so soon? It hasn't crossed my mind to check with my gynae where he goes to yet!</font>

I was last there in 2007, so things may be diff now. then, the service was alright, but definitely not as warm as mothercare. price is cheaper than regular retail price, but not cheaper than a sale price. the product range there is very good though. it might be worth the drive down just for you to look at the variety of what's available.

I went to see a GP yesterday and he gave me some medicine for flu. I kept repeating.. "Im pregnant, can eat this rite??" think he got irritated with me questioning so many things. hahah.. im at home on MC today. Took 1 flu pill and 1 sorethroat pill last night and dont dare to take anymore already. My mum boiled barley water for me, hopefully I will get better naturally..
serene123, yes she said she will leave after cooking dinner.. hmmm.. u r right, then she wont wash the plates for me. I forgot about that part! ;p Nevermind lor, I will ask my mum (who is hopefully staying over for the week) to help out if I cant cope.
I still can wear some looser tees but bottoms I need to get those elastic maternity skirts or pants already. My mum was like "wa your tee so tight, will compress tummy or not". She said in her times, every preggie wears loose dresses. I said "noooo... i will look fatter". ;p
You r right, not everyone gives up their seats. Some will look up at me and continue playing with their phones. Yesterday on my way home, there were 2 school girls who did not give up their seats too, they looked at me & continued talking.. I just continue reading my newspaper..

i guess i will also be like this...afterall we have a kid in us. we dont wan eat the wrong med to affect bb. I also cant wear my bottoms anymore..since 16th week, tummy will feel v compress. Even those currently i am wearing ones (maternity) seems tight already, this weekend gg to buy some new bottoms. I prefer to wear dresses actually cos no matter how big tummy is, wont feel compress la...but nice and trendy and yet reasonable dresses are hard to come by la
For me, its compulsory for me to take annual jabs for flu lo....but i think i will stop taking jabs for the time being. I guess for this its best to seek advise from ur gynae lei..safest.

yvonne,
Can try use this website to approximate what's a good weight gain for you. I'm using this as a guideline. But no need die die stick to it. As long as your gynae see no prob with your weight gain, should be fine

hi mummies,
re weight gain: i lost 2kg til the 18th week and now gained about 3kg..doc says its normal so I guess its bcos I feel full easily after a few bites that i am not gaining the weight. I miss eating thou n feel sad when I can't finish my food.
re mrt seats: lucky if u've been offered a seat. No matter what I wear no one has given up their seats yet. no choice have to stand. only issues now is that my shoes are getting tighter!
re maternity clothes: you're right! design are all so ugly...how to stay trendy like that...i'm checking out ubermums-shop.com and some online sites. let u know if the one i ordered are nice
Didn't sleep at all last night. Slept only at 8am this morning and had to leave for work at 2pm. I think the flu virus is all around now. so stay healthy mummies!

think it may be blood circulation
try lifting ur legs up while sitting on a chair, and draw tiny circles in the air.
also rem to leave up legs while watching TV or resting on bed. It helps

yvonne, u shld aim to gain abt 13kg (general rule of thumb) thro'out the whole pregnancy if you are normal weight to start with.. More if you start off underweight & less if you start off overweight.. i'm already off the halfway mark.. gained abt 8+kg in 21 wks.. gynae advised to eat more fruits, veges & meat & lesser carbo (rice, noodles, etc).. but finding it so hard to control my weight gain.. keep on craving for comfort food, e.g. baked rice, pasta, brownie ice-cream, etc.. sigh..
jingles, i know of bb's weight from my detailed scan report.. if i'm not wrong, it's an estimate calculated based on your bb's head size, arm bone length & thigh bone length.. measurements taken during detailed scan.. prior to that i was only told of the bb's head to bum length during my normal scans..

Hi ladies,
Some of you discussing about strollers. There is this shop in Chinatown that sells baby items, its called Cheong Choon. I bought 2 strollers from them before and they should be much cheaper than even Baby Hyperstore etc. They do delivery also. You just need to call the lady and give her the model number and she will give you the price. But you need to check out the strollers in other shops cos her shop does not display strollers.
I've also been thinking about what stroller to buy this time round. Previously I used a Combi. And I was contemplating a Maclaren. But after thinking about it, I think I will stick to Combi. Cos Mclaren is much heavier and it doesn't stand. I find Combi easier to open and close and I'll probably be able to do that even with one hand carrying baby. (I can forsee times when I may be alone with the baby outside). Lightest models of Combi is about 4+ kg. Whereas the other brands of strollers are about 6+ kg. The distributor for Combi is Tai sing and they have a showroom also.

jingles, np.. online got some formulas on how to calculate the estimated bb's weight using the detailed scan measurements.. but formula seems to differ for different websites.. so best to check with your gynae..
re cloth diaper, didn't know it has become so advanced!! wow.. i'm so sua ku.. still remember those days when i was helping my mum fold the napkin cloth & put on the big safety pin for my younger bro.. are there any alternatives besides bumwear? or is bumwear like the best/defacto for cloth diapers?

there are other brands available now. I did a quick google and this is what I found for SG-based shops selling cloth diapers:

<font color="0077aa">blueydoo</font><font color="aa00aa">: Thanks for sharing your experience with strollers. My fren also recommended Combi for the same reason (ie, can open and close singlehandedly). At the moment, based purely on hear-say, I'm contemplating getting a Quinny for outdoor activities(eg. zoo) and a Combi for when I may be on my own. Will go to Baby Kingdom/ Baby Hypermart to check out the physical strollers and call the suppliers you mentioned to compare prices.. Heh</font>
<font color="0077aa">echo</font><font color="aa00aa">: Thanks for doing the research! Babehause contains so much info on cloth diapering, I feel I've learnt quite a fair bit from there.. Can I just pick your brain here since a few of us are also into cloth diapering.. This is quite a stupid question but I presume the inserts and diaper have to be washed each time they are soiled right? So there's really quite a bit of washing to be done.. Cost saving aside, would babies generally be more comfortable in cloth nappies (ie. in terms of its ability to keep the baby dry)? Any recommendations in terms of the brands? Babehause carries quite a mind-boggling array.. </font>

wahhh buying 2 strollers ah!
i have heard that for bb who used cloth they have better skin condition. Also I have read a book somewhere that if u need to soak the soiled diapers keep separate pails (eg. 1 for soiled by pee, the other soiled by poo).
