Haru: is actually from G market, u type: Boba wrap and u can find the seller. $69
Hi mummies
Wow what a big busy full-of-walking day it is for me! Even my non preggie friend who was with me was tired! Haha
#1 and I went for maternity photo shoot at studio loft today. So much fun
Ikea sale starts tomorrow! Bath tub, anyone?
haru, hope ur cot will be on sale!
Bathing
Just a few drops of shower gel in bath water will do. Bath water should not be too much, just a couple of inches so baby's body will not be cold. Cos the shower gel is so little, most baby gels do not need to be rinsed off.
Try to elevate your baby's bathtub by putting it on kitchen counter or dining table of stools or get a bath stand. When baby is newborn, it's actually very dangerous to put bathtub on floor cos we might lose balance when we stand up while carrying baby from squatting position
Just to share a useful tip I suddenly remembered (and there's a chance I will forget when our babies are here): when putting on mittens and booties, first invert them then with your fingers still inside the mittens/booties, hold on to baby's hands/feet, then flip the mittens/booties over. So much easier than slotting hands/feet in while trying to hold mittens/booties open
Moms in mind
Not sure where they sell their products but have seen them at baby fairs, and can search online for them
With delivery date drawing near, I'm slowly letting hubby do bedtime routine with #1 more and more. Cos I know that I'll be very consumed with BFing #2 and don't want #1 to feel like I'm brushing her aside for baby. Learnt this from other friends, some of whom had #1s who completely refused dads and insisted mums tuck them in etc, resulting in mums' eyebags drooping down to the floor!!

haha, i was also telling hubby that i forgot how to bath a newborn! guess it will be Papa bathing baby most of the time initially. i remembered we were both dripping w sweat e first few times when we bathed our #1 coz we closed all e windows (scared of wind), and we were so nervous handling a newborn. hahah...
SG,
my #1 is 3yrs old. i still carry her especially when I am alone and she refuses to go on the escalator on her own, etc...but i try to make her walk on her own as much as poss.

SSP: thanks for the explanation! Kinda forgot the name of the bacteria. I tested positive today and have to be on antibiotics. When swallowed by bb during labour it can cause health problems..

I did photoshoot with bambini photography last week. I got proofs today, really happy with them. I took no 1 along but didnt expect him to participate, but he did and the pictures with him turned out really nicely. Pm for a referral if anyone is interested..
My No.1 just turned 2 in December. Anyone with similar age gap? I hope the he takes well to his little sister. I've also been trying to let DH do bedtime routine for the last couple of months but he wont get to sleep till i go in.
I love the Gaia smell. Its just really ex in Singapore, esp for the size..
Hospital bag almost packed. Remember to pack change of clothes and toiletries for DH!

Cayden's mom- thanks for the info. Will check it out.
I m now a bit wary about stocking up on baby bath products. For my first kid, I bought a lot (on discount, thinking I can save $) during pregnancy. Turns out she had bad eczema and that particular brand worsened her rashes. In the end, threw all away and wasted all that $. Sigh.....

Yes. Moms In Mind is now BirthShop. Same same.
SG: My #1 is 22months. Around 11kg. Also always want me to carry also. Unless my mother is around. She would only want us to carry her. Other ppl she dun want.
SSP: Yeaps. Dun waste money to stock up on too much newborn products. Cos we never know if the baby will be allergic. Then end up throw away or give away. I know some mummies will try to sell. But very troublesome lar. So I just buy 1 of each, to try. Anyway, come MAY/Jun there will be Great Singapore Sale! Everything will be discounted again! No need to buy to stock up now.

Zodiacstar: I can refer mine if u want, I feel most impt is ur frens have tried before and feedback is good.

Most impt is head to toe massage plus binder and what type of cream they use. I've encounter 1 only tummy massage and using normal cream only..
I'm also buying 1 bottle of everything first cannot buy too much later baby skin not suitable then wasted..
My friend told me nuk bundle (2 small, 2 big bottles and 2 pacifiers) at only $52 at mothercare fair! However another told me she seen the same bundle at isetan and kiddy palace too at the same price. Can anyone confirm? Wondering if it's gd buy.. Hee

lil> where u stay? i'm not going, i can pass u both my coupon. i stay in seng kang, and workplace near plaza sing.

Yup yup! I took my bloom shots with studio loft when preggie with #1 and again when she was about 3 months old. As a return costomer I got 20% off so paid $200 instead of $250. This time will also be taking newborn shots with them. Really regret not capturing the pruney-ness of #1 the last time! Think I'll only get my shots in a month, but have shared my shots of previous preg in FB
Cayden's mummy
Oh is it? I'll go see taka soon! Do u know if there's the anti slip function too?
Chalis
Hehe I also wondered if #1 would be cooperative. Luckily there were lots of toys and props around for her to play with when she felt like taking a break. Macham like big hollywood star haha. In the end managed to get a nice balance of pics with #1, and some just of me and big belly
Think you got to ease yourself slowly out of the bedtime routine ba. But if you just need to go in to say a quick nite nite, it's still better than having to do the whole routine. Sometimes mine also requests for goodnight song from mama. Like "say it with music" song dedication haha.

Thanks for clarifying re moms in mind and birth shop!

lilcactus: i am just worried it may be more than 3.5kg!! later difficult to PUSH... haha
silvery_gal: me too, keep feeling hungry or feel like eating something!
how many weeks are you left to full term? think after full term, the rate of bb's growth might slow down abit, cos less room to grow liao?
i'm week 34 tomorrow, hoping for bb to be 3 kg by the time i'm full term.

my gynae did comment that at the rate she's growing, she will easily exceed 3kg. 3.2-3.3kg is ideal for my size. anyting more than that, have to assess again.. and i was hoping for natural..
mummies, maybe dont worry too much first. when i was preg my #1, i didnt join this forum and i didnt think much, although my gynae was also worried if bb might be too big for me. end up i managed to do natural without epi! and i'm a petite sized person.
Cayden's mummy: thank you so much! yes if she ok, pls pm me although i dunno how to search for number in whatsapp. hahahha..

Cayden's mummy: i have already standby 4 packs of S sized diapers! haha kiasu
actually for my case, dunno is lucky or wat. but labour was considered fast for 1st baby.
the night before bb out, i went for usual gynae checkup and he keep asking me if i felt any pain. apparently he had detected some signs of labour but i felt no pain. so he strap me to the ctg machine and indeed i was having contraction pain. so he got me to be admitted that night as i was dilated a few cm (i cant remmeber how many) and cervix is very soft.
so stayed tmc overnight and had bloody show. next morning 8am they pushed me to the waiting ward to prepare me. gynae came to check, still the same cm of dilation, so he burst my waterbag, and nurse started me on drip at 9am. i was still talking and laughing with my hubby until 11am when i start feeling pain. then the pain got more intense and i only used laughing gas. not really helpful with pain relief, u just feel abit sleepy and weak.
was fully dilated at 1pm (2 hours later) (the 2 hours of pain was super intense, i felt my whole body was gonna split open) and was pushed to delivery ward. i had to stop using laughing gas in order to gain back my strength to concentrate on pushing. after a few push, gynae say i'm not good at pushing and used vacuum to assist me and baby is out 15mins later.
sorry for long granny story haha

lilcactus: i have 2 friends same as u. very fast labour for #1. ENVY, no need to undergo many many hours of painful labour... did u actually walked a lot?
Cayden's mummy: I also dunno how he detected. But this time im not using the same gynae.
Silvery_gal: ya I think I walk alot. I used to take bus to and fro work, lunch almost everyday will need to cross overhead bridge.
Some say have lots of sex. It might help to shorten labour?

Hmm, you gals still sexually active at this stage? my hubby wouldn't do it. Hahaha...
Gingerbreadger: strange, different gynae says different things abt weight. My 33+ week scan also show bb at close to 2.2kg. I'm same size as you. The report says bb only at 40 percentile for weight (50 is average) so doesn't fall into the 'big' range.
