haha i think i am lucky cuz my mother has no stretch marks, guess it's genes..
and yes i had about 4 lines, 3cm long each on my tummy in purple on the 37th week for my 1st pregnancy.. after delivery slowly disappeared liao.. now preggy again and tummy getting bigger hor, can see a bit of marks there, in white, which is my skin color so almost can't see at all..
for sure will have again this time round though but i am not very concerns since i believe they will turn while and not obvious again..

<font color="aa00aa">I think amyyeo refers to linea negra (a vertical line that runs down from the navel), not stretch marks.

Yes, like what petrina has mentioned, it'll disappear after birth.</font>

Those going to Expo today can update on the goodie bag if it's worth to go early to get?
I was thinking of going after work today if the goodie bag isn't fantastic.

Hi ladies ... i am a First Time MTB and joining this thread for first time i guess.
There is so much things to buy for baby and wow i am overwhelmed. Also when i see the $$$ to be spent even before delivery its also a huge amount.

Petrina, my hubby is going there now
Hopefully he gets the goodie bag. The mag stated what's in the bag, but i cannot remember off hand right now.
Moi, I'm interested in the Beco carrier but it's so expensive!
Felicia, I hope I don't get more stretch marks man! My mum had a lot cos last time I think they don't have creams and such. Her tummy is like a map of rivers
Welcome FleurFleur. I guess the best thing is to list out all the things you need to buy and prioritise your purchases. Don't need to get everything at once. Some things you only need later when the baby is older and some things you may need immediately. Just get those for immediate use first, like the cot and stroller/sling/carrier, diapers and wipes..

My hubby just informed me that the queue at the Babycare Fair is super long right now! Just opened and already got people queuing all the way to the lobby area. Maybe at night will be even more crowded. Anyway he got a goodie bag
Mihoger, did your doctor ask you to have more bed rest? Think you shouldn't move around too much. Take care!

Hi mummies
Didn't come here for a long time as I have been busy with my boy. He has been getting very sticky towards me, everything also want me to do or accompany and refusing his daddy.
Stretch marks
I got it since my first pregnancy even though my tummy is small then, many people thought I was only 5-6mths when I was 3x weeks then. So I totally give up on using any creams since but lucky it didn't get any worse for the rest of my pregnancies.
Detailed scan
Went on the 13th and baby is growing well, weigh 48xg at 20week + 5 days but having a super big head. Above 95% from the chart, gynae not concerned about the head saying being normal is more important. I was told that its a boy but not 100% confirmation as baby was lying on the side that day so gender scanned from baby bottom. Head on my right tummy, legs swinging between left and bottom, so funny to see that.
Mihoger
Try to rest as much as you can. Did your gynae ask you to have a complete bedrest? I have a gf who has spotting during her 5-6th mth pregnant and gave birth shortly around a week or so, water bag broke. Baby stayed in kkh for more than a year before able to get home.

Nattan> What time your hubby went to queue ... i told my HB i wanna go early tomorrow he look at me as though i really so KS haha
Angela, my baby is about 500g at 22 weeks. Doc didn't say if that was normal weight, above average or what, so I just assumed everything is fine la.
Mihoger, ya if you experience pain or see fresh blood in your spotting then don't worry too much.. just try to rest more and don't stress yourself. Not sure if you should go to crowded places like Expo.. see if your hubby or friends can go on your behalf.
Fleufleur, my hubby was there just before 11am cos we live nearby. Haha.. actually I made him go and pick up the goodie bag After that he can go and eat brunch then continue shopping.

I am not trying to scare you. She has spotting then, went kkh (her gynae is at kkh), admit to hospital wanted her to have complete bedrest but after a few days, she got bored and requested to rest at home. Then after getting home for a day or two, her water bag actually leaked and by the time she went back kkh, her gynae try to stop her from leaking but couldn't and end up delivering at 6mths. She even downgrade to class c as recommended by the nurses as the charges for her premature baby will be very high. She told me a few mths after her delivery, the bill is 5 digit each time they billed to them.
No one expected her to deliver that early, even her gynae when she was admitted for bedrest. Better don't take chance and try to lie on the bed as much as you can.

Petrina, Babysafe is at Booth F01-05 where the Mustela products are. Did you miss it? Are the Goon diapers worth buying?
Hubby did some homework for me.. compared cot and stroller prices. He's still thinking of buying sling first then buying stroller later I dunno if that's the best option...But I guess ok if he wants to be the one carrying baby all the time.

Alamak! I walked past mustela but nvr see babysafe... Missed it!
I bought M size pampers freom watsons. $9 for 2pks of 20pcs each pk.
Nattan/Chris, sling is good enough for the first 4mths. U can shop ard for strollers for 3mths n above so u dun have to buy heavy duty ones.. Then wait for june motherhood fair.
Huggies subscription promo was sold out. So i didn't get to subscribe for the mag.
