joy_javen, I got my samples from many places. From my gynae's office, events organised by Drypers, from Huggies and Kao merries websites .. then also got some thru coupon cut-outs that I got at Mt Alvernia. Hehee... but even with these samples, still need to buy lar cos samples only few pieces. So I intend to go get small packages of many brands to try try. Buy enuff to last for 1 mth then see what baby likes then can buy in bulk after that.
kawaii_baby, what's the reason for your bedrest? Another 3 more weeks very pass very fast. Hang in there and relax =)
I think Singapore weather so hot, most pple just use muslin (ie traditional cloth nappies) as swaddle/receiving blanket/blanket cos it is thin, comfy, easy to wash and dry ... at least that is what I see my sister and sis in-law doing. I intend to do the same too. July/Aug is going to be super hot mths. I think the last thing that can happen to our babies is for them to catch a cold?

Just saw my gyne today. Baby put on 300g so she's 1.8kg at 33weeks, amniotic fluid decreasing still which is why my overall weight gain is 100g over the past 2 weeks.
Gyne told me, coz of my aging placenta - they look speckled with white spots - the fluid is low. there's nothing I can do, coz its all natural. Talk bout feeling helpless.
Which means instead of popping in 7 weeks, she said be prepared to pop in 3-4 weeks. Gulp!

heheheee... so happy. my hubby created a timetable on what we are going to do tomorrow for my birthday! ok.. even tho it's nothing much i.e. just eat this and that and go out for a while, it's still better than no plan and nua!!! now he's more or less forgiven for calling me animal names.
btw, are you all having bad heartburn or reflux? mine dunno why very very bad and just short of vomiting only. but it's like if i want to, i can easily vomit.
laura, envy #4! mine nt too bad recently (ok, i'm bias cos he got plan for my bday). we got the room ready for CL and #2, got pretty much everything except sterilizer. last part will be hospital bag (my item), assemble the cot and wash all the stuff. but not so involved until go search online and get goodies!!!!
karena, ur #1 is good and healthy right? if so, then no need to worry. dun affect baby. think good happy thots and keep saying words of encouragement. yeah and pray! i have reverse problems... hahahaha....

Happy birthday lili_gal! Have a great day out with your HB today =)
Kawaii_baby, take care!
Kalmen22, you can start counting down already. So exciting. I think delivering at ard 37/38 week is good enuff. Carry to full 40 weeks can be very 辛苦. As it is I already feel the full strain on my butt, thighs and calves when I walk.
Qin, I think nipple cream is to soften the skin. I bought the Lansinoh nipple cream and they recommend using it during 3rd trimester to 'prep' your skin for breastfeeding. I'm thinking of starting that soon. No harm having a head start right? =)

bjoo: i just started using nipple cream this week. was told to start early as it will help to moistuize & soften the skin like you mentioned. think this will helps to prevent sore/cracked nipple during BF..
ourlovestory: how much is the nursing bra at spring maternity? i am hunting for them too.. not too sure how many sets to prepare.. but was told to bring at least 3-4 set for my stay at hospital..

Zhen, the non padded one which is comfortable is 29.90 and the padded one is ranging from 36.90 to 39.90. I also bought one from those motherhood fair which is around 22 but i find that a bit big as I do not have big boobs. You must also consider that you need a tiny space for your breast pads
I have got 3 sets now so not too sure if i should buy more?
I think we are mostly naked with just the hospital gown when staying in the hospital? we need to bring bra or sleepwear??

joy: the nipple cream is used to moisturise your nipple as i have some hardern point at my nipple which i scare might be blocking the milk flow, but i do not use it everyday.

Qin, My fren got my Lansinoh nipple cream from US. I paid ard S$25 for 2 tubes. I think that's pretty damn cheap. Heh ...
I bought a nursing bra from thebirthshop to try. It's ard S$30+ for the padded one. It's not as comfy as I would like it to be. Pretty scratchy ard the band... Think I will try other brands. But right now I also dun dare to buy too many cos our boobs can still grow during the last mth right?
joy_javen, you can get emma jane from ASOS. They are ard S$30+... I'm intending to get one to try too.

Was reading on babycenter SG articles.. Though no proven medical result but seem to contain element that would help uterus to contract and shrunk faster or something like that

I attended the prenatal class by Wong bb at TMC and eating placenta is strongly discouraged! Was mentioned that the placenta actually stores the discharges (not sure what u call it medically; its all the unwanted stuff) from the baby. So why do people wan to eat it anyway? What benefits does it have? For beauty? I dare not eat mine anyway... I'm quite scared by the thought of it.
My fren is gg US. Shall ask her to look out for the nipple cream. What other maternity stuff is good to get there?
