Oh yes, on people giving way... Was at Ikea yesterday during dinnertime cos I had a craving for fried chicken wings and as you all would know, the fight for tables on a friday evening is rather ruthless. I spotted a 2-seater and was calmly walking towards it when an auntie started making a beeline for it. When she looked up and saw that I was already like half a metre away, she kinda backed off and went "oh, go ahead!". Of course there are also others who choose to bua bodoh and blatantly steal your seat from right under your nose, but in general, I feel that there are still some nice people around. But of course, having your palm placed strategically in front of your tummy does help *sneaky grin*.

Hi mummies, beside the Philips sterilizer selling at $120, can buy the steam flip blend for $179 (usual I think $249). They threw in baby feeding bowl n spoons and 2 milk containers (for storing BM) with lids. I also bought a set of 10 milk containers with lids at $22 cos i was told that at other times the containers n lids are sold separately.
For the free gifts bowl n cup, can choose the pink or blue ones
There's also electric n manual breast pumps (dual n single) but didnt note the prices. Milk warmer. Blender. Overall good deal esp if any mummies want to get sterilized or steam flip blend.

Hey mummies I did something terribly stupid. An indon friend got me some raved traditional skincare many months back b4 i was pregs but I never really tried. So just this past weekend I had some free time and went to apply the soap, cream etc on my legs. Next morning I developed severe redness, and it seems to spread throughout breaking into rashes. I feel so stupid and went to google the product. Some websites claimed it's all vegetables ingredients but I found one website that said this product contains high mercury and can cause cancer. I'm now slapping myself bcos how can I ever risk trying new stuff while pregnant. Do u think it'll affect bb in the womb. I didn't take orally, just external applications. I'm so worried sick- can't sleep all nite ;(
Yean: My gf had a planned c-sect with no. 1 (baby in breech position) but her number 2 was delivered naturally. Her original gynae was against it so she switched gynaes - to Paul Tseng at TMC. Apparently he is quite well-known for helping mummies deliver naturally after c-sect. But there are some restrictions. Baby mustn't be too big, must be engaged in the right position and the labour mustn't last beyond 6/ 7 hours. If not, he will also recommend a c-sect I believe.
Autumn: Sorry to hear that - go see a doctor, sounds like a skin allergy to me.

<font color="0000ff">Autumn:</font> <font color="aa00aa">Aiyo.. Is yr rashes v itchy? Think you better go consult your gynae on this n get medication.. Bring the cream along for yr gynae to see.. Previously I brought some medication along for my appt to let my gynae see if I can take. </font>
Autumn - u can even see a GP immediately to get it chk if u can't get to ur gynae . GP has a book on what medication is safe for preg (I saw my GP refer to d book when prescribing medication for me). Stay calm n use mild bath gel for sensitive skin for now. Like qv, sebmed etc from unity - my gl say these are safe for preg , even milder than j &j.
Hi all, I am still deciding whether to stick to Tmc or switch to Kkh ? I am happy with Tmc but thought Kkh would be a better choice if my pregnancy has complications. But heard Kkh has increased its fees for private suite patients. Anyone heard of it? I m looking at one bedder room , most probably csec since #1 was csec.
BabyCubby..i took 1 bedded at KKH for my #1 eh..but coz hub is SAF..got sub..so think frm starting to see gynae fees till gave birth..and after deducting medisave..think we pay less then $1k..if im nt wrong ah..if nt its ard $1k-$1.2k
Baby Jo..i donated #1 cord blood..will be keeping for #2..keke

Hi Mummies
Seems like alot of you had started shopping for bb already. We still haven't really buy much, cause seems like for #2, alot of stuff can be recycle/share. Only consumables need to be top up.
Re. Pacificers
New mum might want to hold on to the purchase of pacificer cause some babies don't take pacificer. I remember for my #1, we only bought 1 to standby cause we heard from alot of mummies that their babies refused pacificers and their pacificer were put to waste. But pros and con on pacificer, cause some mummies prefer bb not to take pacificers due to dental/speech development. For my #1, she prefers pacificers and we gave her. Now wondering how to get her to quit.. ummm..

ming8110, thanks for the info. Yeah, this info would be helpful. I m thinking to seek for other gynae advice too. My #1 case was she was 3.5kg based on W37 scan, so, he advised to have c sect as he believed bb might grow ard 4kg by my edd. But bb was delivered in 3.345kg....and he advised me to deliver in c-sect for #2 since my 1st time was c-sect to reduce to risk.

yean> apparently if u hv previous c-sec, and would liek to try natural for subsequent delivery, u have to look for gynae who are pro-VBAC and like what Ming mentioned, there are some areas for the gynae to consider and advise whether you are suitable. Also, as you might know, there are risks involved, example u might end up with wound rupture/emergency c-sec and double the costs, thus u really have to discuss with a pro-VBAC gynae and consider about it.
Autumn A> oh u better go to a GP with the cream, since it's external application and small amount, it's unlikely that it will hurt the bb, dont worry and faster get some medication to sooth yr itichiness.
Baby> I also keep #1 cordblood with Cordlife and not doing for #2. I remember reading about something like this in the Oct FB page, some mummies mentioned they keeping #1 and #2 cordblood with different companies. But usually when u used back the same company, you get some "rebate".
Re: NB items
Like many other mummies, as already had a #1, I have been very slow in this..likely will just get some NB clothes (so at least the bb has a new set of full mth clothes), new pacifiers, teats/bottles, #2 bottles/teats (cos might need to change brand of bottles in order not to mix up which teats for which kid) towards T3 time..abit lazy and relaxed now...feel so guilty!
Re: Baby Items
1st time mums can consider to buy stuff such as breastpads, toiletries, feeding utensils (they can use when start to eat solid), wet wipes, diapers, bottles, teats etc during baby fair/promotions. Certain things remember not to overstock due to NB outgrown very fast from 0-3mths (clothes/diapers), baby food (take note of length of expiry too)

Raspy: We have the same problem with my no. 1 - she is super fond of her "du du" and seems to be increasingly reliant on it - not sure if that is due to Mei Mei's impending arrival. I took a friend's advice and cut a hole in her pacifier - she spat it out and asked for one which was "not spoiled". Sigh. So the new story I am selling her is that the old pacifier had a hole because she sucked on it so much. It is likely to have a hole if she only used it at bed time. I also pretend that I can't hear her if she talks with her pacifier in her mouth so that forces her to take out her pacifier sometimes.
Buying of clothes etc for no. 2: Things I have bought for no. 2 so far - (1) new mittens and booties (the elastic gets loose after a few washes I find), (2) some new baby clothes and sleep suits (taking advantage of the Carters' memorial day sale and the Isetan private sale), (3) a new steriliser (which comes with 2 milk bottles).
Will need to get: (1) more bottles, (2) diapers, (3) pacifier (undecided about this given no. 1's "addiction to it", (3) new burp cloths ( I recommend getting at least 2 dozen), (4) bottle brushes, (5) bottle detergent (may need less this time round 'cos hoping to latch but will see how things go), (6) new cot sheet, (7) more bath towels, (8) mattress protector, (9) new mattress for the play-yard.
For myself, will be getting: (1) maternity pads (I find the ones from Mothercare are very good for the initial days when the flow is very heavy), (2) nursing pads, (3)nipple cream (Mrs Wong recommends the Avent one - that is not bad and I rotated that with the Medela one), (4) Chinese herbs for bathing (all medical halls have pre-packed ones), (5) more button front night gowns / pyamas (helps greatly with breastfeeding)

Thanks Summer for the info and link. I'm trying to get one with castors and 3 adj heights for the mattress, with teething bar and safe mechanisim for moving the rail up and down. Of cos as cheap as possible cos I have a feeling baby won't sleep in it beyond 2 years.
Any mummies have any intro where to get such a cot at cheap cheap price? And which type of mattress is the most commonly used? Air mattress?

Ming8110, 'cut a hole in her pacificer'.. I don't dare to try, cause I cant find her a replacement if she still insist on it. My girl is quite troublesome, she only want that 2 pacificer which we bought for her during newborn. We bought pigeon ones and after we bought that, pigeon came out with a totally new range of pacificer. Her two pacificers had turned slightly yellow from all the washing and sterilizing. We got the new pigeon pacificer for her but she spat out and ask for the old one. Sigh.. Im thinking, maybe 1 day she will outgrown it.
And for whether to give #2 pacificer, I guess got to depend on #2 whether he/she want to suck. Cause some babies must suck something for comfort and I saw some parents who are very insistent on not giving pacificers, giving those empty bottle teats to the baby to suck. I think that is even worse, cause that baby is sucking all the air/gas into his stomach.
Yean, If you want to go for VBAC, you need to decide now. Cause if your present gynae is not supportive of VBAC, its better to change the gynae to one who are pro VBAC. And most gynae doesn't want to accept patients who are in the late trimster. So need to start looking and changing now, otherwise might not be able to get.
kanelmo, Yah.. I think I also need to get more of my own stuff. I had start to buy slowly now, since this is our 2nd time, we kinda of know what to buy. So far bought 2 tubes of drapolene, 3 pigeon milk storage bottles only. You might want to start now since GSS is on now.
Ming8110, Thanks for your shopping list, I think my shopping list is close to yours. Im looking at nipple cream/gel last Sun. Tried purelan previously and wondering whether to get the same back. Is avent cream good? Maybe I should try avent this time.
Shopping list for bb
(1) Clothes for #2, I think at the minimum, we will get a set of newborn clothes for #2 to wear during discharge. We got lots of hand-me-down from inlaws previously for #1 but we hand back to them as they got a newborn last yr. So now need to wait to see the condition of the clothes again.
(2) Diapers, think will get later, near to delivery
(3) Bottles, will be recycling #1 ones, infact my #1 still using 120ml and 150ml bottles, so upgrading her bottles to 240ml to give up the smaller ones to #1.
(4) NB teat and Pacificer, will get 1 to standby,
(5) Sterlizer, we are still steaming #1 bottles and teats. So no problem for us.
(6) Burp clothes, we are using those white diaper cloths as burp clothes previously cause we found loads of them in the sack of hand-me-downs. Very useful and really need lots of them cause bb burp milk very frequent and they dry easily after wash. Hopefully we still get loads of them back.
(7) Bottle brushes and detergent, we still using for #1 so no need to get.
(8) Mattress protector, just bought another 2 more king-size ones last month. Will probably get 2 more single-size.
(9) Mattress for play-yard, we got the LG-playmat during #1 time. Still in mint condition. So no need to get too.
(10) Baby toiletries (bath lotion, cream, diaper cream, bb wipes), will need to get slowly.
(11) Mitten & Booties, we got loads of them in the hand-me-down previously (think got at least 20 sets). But I agree that some of the elastics can be quite loose after frequent washing. So need to check the conditions again
(12) Hankies, my mum just bought 1 dozen last month (add-on to the present stack). Will get another dozen soon. Yah, we used alot of hankies.
For myself,
(1) Maternity pad, need to get 1 pack of the loops one and 1 pack adhensive one.
(2) Disposable underwears, need to get plenty cause I intend to wear disposable during my confinement like my last time.
(3) Breast Pad, still got a box leftover but need to get some more.
(4) Nipple cream, considering whether to get purelan or other brand
(5) Chinese herb for bathing, the chinese medical shops below my place sells them, so no need to stock first.
(6) More front-button pyjamas/gowns, I agree with you, it helps alot during bf-ing. But most of them are not cheap. Will keep a lookout for cheap ones.
Thanks Ming8110!! Found that it really useful and kinda of keep me more organised typing out the above. Do cue me if you notice anything missing.

(4) Nipple cream, considering whether to get purelan or other brand
(5) Chinese herb for bathing, the chinese medical shops below my place sells them, so no need to stock first.
(6) More front-button pyjamas/gowns, I agree with you, it helps alot during bf-ing. But most of them are not cheap. Will keep a lookout for cheap ones.
