Marie Ang, I also had a hard time looking for nursing bras and I finally settled for Spring Maternity ones....they have padding and even I have a small cup size like A, I can fit into their C size....boost my morale 
For the baby safe mattress, it was really cheap at the bb fair in feb. I got the play pen one at $95....now the cot matters is v ex when I bought at Taka
tanny, I bought the Medela freestyle pumps, my friend has given me lotsa bottles for storage but then I bought Tommie Tippie, NUK, MAM and Dr Brown milk bottles as well....
For the nipple cream, I got the Medela purelan one but was given the pigeon one foc when I bought a set of pigeon items. It's really oily when I tried applying but I heard that there's no need for the nipple cream and breast milk would be a better substitute as a nipple cream....
Yes, they do sell waterproof baby cot mattress....if u have missed out on the major dept sale, KP is having 20% off blue tag items do u can check it out....

tanny, sms-ed you already.
I found out that the pigeon narrow neck bottles fit the medela pumps. I think as long as you get the narrow neck ones, they should fit. So those wide neck tommee tippee, avent, etc all cannot.
As for waterproof mattress protector, I got the Ikea one. It is cheap (under $10) and looks pretty decent. I'm a huge fan of Ikea =)
I have lansinoh and medela purelan nipple cream. I dun like the texture of medela purelan. Feels very thick and sticky like petroleum jelly. Have not opened my lansinoh to try. Hopefully it's better.
Qin, 20% disct like not tt fantastic lei... I got my avent steriliser at the BB expo for only $105 which is more than 30% off from orignal price of $159. But I'll still go down to check it out lar ... since got nothing better to do today. Heh
By the way, any recommendation for diaper rash cream? There are so many different brands and types out there in the mkt with huge price differences ... I want cheap and good!

Bhoo, i also same as u... Bought a 3in1 sterlizer at bb expo $105. But at philips carnival sale, seems like got bundle pack. I didn't realli go n see coz very crowded although i went at 9am.
As for twin breast pump, i find it cheap coz market selling $779 to $800+++ but there only sell $550 wif freebies disposable breast pad n breast hardcover.
Only certain items are on sales. I saw the airfryer selling $349 which is the same price as what market is selling.
Go philips carnival sales see see look look... If gg tml, please go at 8 plus so that there is parking lot available

Joanne,
Glad that ur maid is better now. Ya, u must relax now. Don't get too frustrated ok
I think I will sterilize some bottles before bb delivery since I'm most probably going c-sec n will bring my pump along to hospital. The rest, will just sterilize when discharge since it doesn't take very long.

yah.. .i also dun like the medela purelan nipple cream. now just bought the avent one, not sure if it's good. i used to have one that's organic light and very good but can't remember where i bought it from. need to check again. for me it's absolutely necessary, my breastmilk didn't manage to lubricate enough. so everytime after BF-ing, i hv to put on nipple cream or else will crack and it's really really painful when i latch bb on later.
jo, i went to another friend's house and apparently her new filipino maid also starting used to give alot of probs. then she kept telling her what to do, what she expects etc. after 1 mth plus then ok. maybe just need some time. but u hv to watch also lah cos sometimes chemistry also matters a lot. i used to have helpers and some just super no chemistry with me and got on my nerves. i literally just couldn't stand the sight of them later. most imptly stay cool and happy cos babies can sense ur emotions and might think it's due to them.
joy, you gained so little and most of it went to baby!!! how did you do it? anyway, why ur doc ask u to cut down when u and baby r not gaining that much? my hubby loves the pigeon 3-in-1 sterilizer w food warmer so we are going back to that one again.
cherish, do you feel a bit tight down under? my gynae says it's due to the c-sect scar cos it's hard and definitely not as nimble as normal.
for me, i plan to sterilize bottles after delivery. cos it only takes a few mins to do it. will bring my pump etc to hospital and ask them to sterilize before i use cos i dunno when i'm going in mah.
marie, i think can put in vacuum storage boxes, those tupperware types. usually i sterilize and use right after. seldom keep.
btw, i got some merries newborn diapers. very very soft and nice leh...

Today we went to HB's aunt's house again to collect bb's stuff given by her (newly bought) and by her son (taking over from his children), and wow! so many things to bring back. Lots of children's clothes, bed accessories and toys, etc. She also bought my son a little gold pendant. Gold so expensive now leh! So touched. She also bought us 3 bottles of sesame seeds oil and ask her friend to make rice wine (packed into 3 bottles..smells wonderful). I'm so happy and so greatful. MIL also didn't do so much. :-/
Liligal,
Thx for reminding! I forgot abt hospitals can help us to sterilize bottles. LOL. I hope e one I'm going won't be slow in helping this ;p
Yes, I feel hard too. And actually, the area ard my scar sometimes still feel numb n sometimes I feel a bit of sharp pain too.
Marie,
I used to keep sterilized bottles in clean container n usually will use them in e next feed. Reason for keeping them in container was because they were in kitchen rm n didn't want them to get 'polluted' when cooking.

joy_javen: I thought so too. But the contrast between her and my MIL is....sigh...dunno what to say. There are so many things I want to do but I can't - no energy lah! Then HB also like to leave things until the very last minute then do. Aiyoh! Just asking him to change the foot mat at our door since 1 week ago, until now still no action.
Laura, Joanne, liligal,

laura, guys are guys. but recently after i had a "review" with hubby, he started becoming slightly more responsive so that I wun get to nag at him. not bad.
cherish, hahhaa... no wonder! i used to cook so that's why.
on the wine part (including DOM & Yomeishu), my gynae kinda advised me against it last time as he says it goes to the bb if i BF. so now i not sure leh... beginning my son's jaundice quite high so i din take ginger also, later part ok. so i was loading on pig trotter vinegar, my fav.
last time for #1, when the BF cycle more established and he slept thru the night i.e. no need for me to feed at night till next morning, i'll drink alcohol after last feed cos by right after 3-5hours, it'll all go away but of cos i wun drink too much lah.. just a little bit for enjoyment. geeeshhh.. i'm so so so deprived now!!!!

Laura,
Don't worry. Ur hubby is not e worst in delaying things. My hubby record is I asked him to find ppl to fix our faulty bedroom light n he delayed ard 1yr plus. heng that I had table lamp to use first. He's lagi 'good'.
My boy also had high jaundice n he seemed to be allergy to ginger so I didn't consume much ginger during confinement period. My CL was kind enough to fry 1 bottle of sliced ginger for me to consume after she left.

kalmen and qin, have to request. not sure about others but mt A is ok when i requested but it's a small thing lah. i din bring the whole lot. they hv sterilized bottles. the pumps no need to sterilize (it's electrical!), only the funnel & the valves, so it's small.
sesame oil is for confinement. apparently it's heaty so it's good during then. e.g. sesame oil chicken.
there seems to be no evidence but chinese folks would advise against ginger if hvg jaundice babies. in fact some even avoid carrots, pumpkins or anything that cause yellowness just in case can't differentiate i think.
cherish, your CL so sweet on the ginger bit. and u best, can tahan 1yr!!! think abt it, my hubby has been delaying buying a flat for 3 years!!! so i'm up there in tolerance as well. hahaha...

Liligal,
LOL. My hubby is very good in delaying things. I even tried the tactic by saying no light in bedroom mean no kid for us as we were trying for one that time but he bochap me.
My CL is nice so engage her again for #2.
Rer rer,
Glad that ur maid is here finally. I also had wanted to go Temple to pray but didn't go in the end
hope mine will hv chemistry wif us too.
Today we let her called back n learnt her hubby met accident. She cried n I didn't know what to do. Asked her if she wants to call back again in evening to chk situation but she didn't want. I'm thinking if she doesn't call back but mind keeps thinking, also no good right?

cherish, oh dear. take care! don't pek chek too much. bad for your tummy baby.
i realized i've been losing balance also and always hit my tummy due to bad estimation when going places. my son is totally opposite. very very very quiet. ask him to play with others is like asking him to do a major challenge. he'll only whisper when he's in stranger's house. once out, he started his normal talking. argh!
3 more weeks to full term!!!!
