mummies, fyi, starting from this yr, hospitals no longer give free milk samples, they hv to charge $1 per bottle as stipulated by govt as govt wants to encourage mummies to breastfeed instead of giving FM. this applies to all hospitals. if u want to be sure, call your hospital to check & confirm.

I dunno how really BIG but my tummy is super big that pple keep asking me if its twins..hahaha

Got to control abit lar otherwise hard to give birth naturally.....

i in 36~37 week...
 
Anewmummy: now shld be ard 37 weeks, this fri will be 38. My no. 1 will be 19 mths. Yours?

Ya though my tummy not as big as many other pregnant ladies I see, but I'm already feeling v heavy n tired. Can't imagine if my tummy is bigger... Lol
 
Anyone want to standby one bottle of fenugreek ? I hv extra 2 more bottle. Gnc selling $29.50 for 100 capsules, I am selling $35 for 200 capsules including registered postage. Interested pm me your details.
 
<font color="000080">kepsis >> Yar me too, v tired... plus these few days I think either my bb finally engaged or very low down already, my pelvic area really sng until every time I stand up feels like going to break man.</font>
 
Mt A
Just bring 2 sets of nursing bras &amp; button down PJs so it's easy to breastfeed ur newborn. Mt. A gives a small toiletries bag. Some mommies prefer to bring own toiletries.
Breastpads are not necessary as milk usually don't come in that much till aftr a few days. Maternity loop pads are provided by the hospital too.
For baby, jus bring a set of clothes w mittens &amp; booties &amp; the going home wrap blanket will do. All else will be provided by hospital. U will go hm w a plastic tub for baby to bathe.

My first child was delivered at Mt. A and we brought alot of things in the hospital bag only to being back hm unused. Haha.. Kiasu.
Hope the above helps!

hi hi... its been two weeks simce i last post :p i'm pumping milk. got bored and turned on lappy.

anyone here popped?my boy is two weeks old today!
 
Lin
May I ask will mount A provide disposable underways? If not where can I buy? I shopped a few Ntuc seems can't find.

Also where can I get nipple cream to avoid crackin?


Janjan, congratulate!! Wow two weeks already. How is your milk supply?

I am still waiting. I change I sleep on softer bed as my back really painful. Softer bed helps a lot. ;)
 
anewmummy: heard from my sis they will provide those wire type n it's really gd. Can get from the pharmacy at mt a.

My EDD this thur but baby gal still comfy inside mi. Need to go back chk up on thur, still no contraction, gynae will induce. Hopefully, prior to tht, she's willing to come out.
 
wow!! congrats janjan!

anewmummy: my nipple cream is from palmers, i got it frm watsons or even kiddy palace sells it.I bought my disposable underwear from watsons also... 100% cotton.
 
Anewmummy
Not sure if mt A provides but I brought my own disposable panties from Watsons. Sorry i missed that out in my earlier post. Those $2 shops also have if I'm not wrong. Else can buy from Giant also. Buy enough to last u until end of confinement so less to wash.

As for nipple cream, I bought Medela Purelan from this forum to standby in case nipple crack.. Avent also has. So far i know these 2 brands are safe for baby, means u don't need to wipe away before breastfeeding.
 
Just had my LAST check up today and if everything goes on smoothly, i should be having c-sect this Sun!!!

i am actually only abt 37 weeks but considered full term for twins, and today's measurements, they are abt 2.3 &amp; 2.4 kg respectively! so last few days to go!!! excited &amp; nervous!!! >.<
 
<font color="000080">Jiayou shiko! So exciting, can see your babies soon. Good job for carrying to full-term, must be really heavy! You take care of yourself yar, last leg of the marathon already.</font>
 
hi all MTBs,

i am selling off my Ardo Calypso dual pump ;p
it's a recommended brand by hospital..
letting go at price $280 whole set with 5 bottles (nego)..
bought it at more than $500+ used for 3 mths, and kept in storage aft tat..

for more details u can pm me.. price nego!! ;p
 
congrats janjan16!

anewmummy, mt a doesn't provide disposable undies.

shiko, all the best! my c-sect is next thu.
 
hi mummies,

my edd was 8 march, but i was induced on 27th Feb.
gave birth to my lovely boy in Mount A.
They dont provide disposable panties or maternity pads. hope this helps..

By the way, Mount A has EXCELLENT service! Enjoy ur stay mummies!
 
Hi mummies! I just popped my no. 2 last Friday! It was at mt a. Yup their service was good! But can get a little noisy in the afternoon due to the renovation. But I'm too tired to be bothered by it thou. Do take note that u might wanna admit earlier cos the single rooms are all fully taken when I was there n there is already 3 mummies in front of me on the waiting list. And I think no need bring ur own pump cos they won't sterilize ur shields for u. U hv to use their pump. Unless u wanna bring ur own sterilizer.
Anyway congrats to those who hv popped! N Jia you to those who are on the way!!!!
 
Hi all mummies!
Been silently reading till now... Going to deliver end of this mth. It's gg to be my no.3 via c sect @TMC So excited!
Any mummies going to deliver end of this month too?
Can add me thru FB yesenmesei @yahoo.com.Sg
Tkcr all
 
Congrats to those who popped and those confirmed popping dates! ;) enjoy motherhood and breastfeeding!!

To those who are waiting patiently/impatiently like me..
Gambatte! Last lap to go! Wonder how many in the excel list has popped?!
 
i heard second delivery should be faster? Since every delivery is different, I dont't know hat to expect. Mummies can share your second delivery experience?
Now I started feeling more Braxton hicks. And down there started soreness feeling and lower back pain. But I dont't feel any cramps yet. So contraction not started. How long should I wait for the labor kicks in?? I am bit of impatient.
 
sorry for the 'ad'!

i have a bottle of MotherLoveMore Milk Plus. i bought hoping to bring up milk supply but seems like my milk supply is coming in already... so dun need it anymore. havent open yet.
Bought for $78, selling $55, will post to you via semi-registered post.
 
<font color="000080">congrats kepsis!

gina &amp; anewmummy >> I'm so impatient too! ARGH. Braxton hicks getting stronger also, but got "no sound no picture" otherwise... tmr going to see doc, probably going to get scolding for putting on too much weight. Haha.</font>
 
congrats kepsis!

anewmummy, no experience to share as mine is c-sect, knocked off, then wake up, give birth liao.
 
Thanks all!

Hmm ya I got no experience in gg through labour too cos both c sect. But I think now u shld try to relax n do the things that u had wanted to do for a lOng time? Cos after hv is out u won't have time for anything else!!! Pumping milk is probably the only thing I've been doing since last Friday!
 
Hi Mummies

I just give birth on 12 feb, been breastfeeding, as i have alot of supply, my freezer is packed with breast milk. Willing to give away some breast milk. Anyone interested can PM me or email me at [email protected]
 
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Bb will be one month old next week! woohoo! finally smelling the end of confinement.

Anewmummy, milk supply is still low, but i am still perservering. now that bb is sleeping more than feeding, i store as much ebm as i can in the freezer (at least one pack a day). then most of the day i latch him and pump in between...

FYI for mommies delivering in Mt A, things they provide are:

1. 1 pack of maternity pads (those loop type)
2. Sterilising solution and sterile cotton to wash our wounds
3. one piece of those netted underwear that we were talking abt previously
4. Huggies Diapers (if bb more than 3.5kg at birth, will be S size.. with stamps hor! then u can collect 3 to redeem the mothercare bodysuit)
5. toiletries in the Mt A pouch
6. baby bath tub
7. baby diaper bag (gift pack)

Kaye, congrats! how come u still have maternity pads left? i brought home a few pieces.. then force myeself to faster use up... haha..really hate the loop type.

Kielorla,why wanna give away.. u should keep cos bb's appetite will catch up eventually. can keep for back to work days also... consider getting a second hand freezer to store? I have a friend who use her excess ebm for milk bath. haha.. she say after that body smooth and 'toink-toink' haha


You gotta bring along your own disposable undies, pjs.
 
Finally, I have smoothly given birth to my twins on 11th and just back home yest...C-sect process is v fast but after op wound is painful, and with my constant low blood pressure during my pregnancy, 1st time trying to get off bed really was like hell...need help from nurses was definitely and i fainted in toilet and couldnt even walk out e toilet, so nurses have to wheel me back to bed...>.<

but my advise is, really have to bear the pain and walk ard more...and TMC service is good and charges actually cheaper than i expected, maybe cos i been hearing all sorts of figures so tot it going cost a bomb....lol

to rest of the mummies who are still waiting to pop, jiayou and gd luck!!!
 
Janjan, I finished the one packet of maternity pads (loops) at Mt A. Then i din bring mine, so got another packet lor...
 
Hi Mommies, I am from May 2012. How i wish next month is May!

I am getting ready to buy the items and thought of checking.. how many maternity pads do we need? I am delivering in Mt A. If i finish the one they provide, can I get more (without charge?) from them?

Thanks!
 
Hi any mummies have good confinment lady to recommend that you have used before? Please advise. Text me at 96993727. Need in July 2012. Thanks!
 
Catherine,

I was there at 6am too... Maybe we met back not sure which is u.

How's ur bb? Urs is boy or girl? Mine is a girl born at 0813hrs. Are u breast feeding?
 
Hi All,

I also popped on 9Mar c-sec, now struggling with milk supply too.
Still low, try fenugreek, mother milk tea &amp; mum lactating milk.. Doesn't seem any improvement.
Anyone can share how to attain abundant milky supply?

Apriltan,
Am also looking for full month cake either vouchers or cakes.. Sourcing @ Bengawan Solo, Polar, Emicake too..
Am looking for caterer too.. All along cater Neo garden, now their price tag been increasing lots though I love their food..
 
Hi tattyhug,

Congrats, have u been pumping n latch ur bb regularly? Dun stress so much. Drink more water n BM will increase slowly. I also have the same problem. And I make it a point to wake up n pump or feed my bb. Now at least have enough supply for her.

For caterer, NEO Garden is good. For cakes, I am still thinking if to try PapaMama or Sweetest Moment looks not bad. I have try Ecreative and Choz also not bad.
 
AprilTan,

Thanks for tips.. Perhaps might not be drinking much water as dring Logan red date tea..
Nite time I do latching, however I feel like milk supply not much as she wake up 1.5hr or 2hr later hungrily...
How much ur girl taking? Mine ard 60ml..11days baby..

Papa mama seems not bad lei... Sweetest moment v popular..
Haiz... Lost for choices.. Me thinking voucher easier distribute.
 


April,

That means we really met just that we not sure. I was sitting at the sofa just outside the parentcraft shop. Let me try to re-call...there a couple opposite me. Waiting for registration too.
I still remember on 04 mar, when i check-out she also check-out on the same day. I am staying at 3rd level.

Mine is a boy. On partial breastfeeding, but my milk supply is very low.
