Indeed I'm aiming Boots too
Will probably get items delivered to her bf's home, she is planning to meet her potential in-laws heee...hope everything goes well. I'm still trying to consolidate the purchases, so they don't have to visit too many baby stores.
I was also hoping to get good quality baby carrier fr London or Australia. This brand Ergo is quite popular too, especially in the states, design looks very similar to Manduca. I'm not sure what's the diff but over here, the price diff is about $100 for Ergo vs Manduca... Anyone knows?
Butters, why can't your hubby get larger items from overseas? Can check in right? My friend from Australia just bought a very good carseat in Australia, checked it in and presented to our Singaporean friend during her baby full month. I'm very tempted to beg my sis to get me a stroller fr London (few hundreds cheaper) but I know my sis will roll her eyes big time lol... Hubby may be different story...??

Tanny, ask ur friend to buy if go Bkk. That's wat I did. Always out of stock somemore. Just buy at Bkk airport on way bk.
Re: bb movements, Every bb is different. N the position of the placenta is impt too for us to feel bb movements. Anterior placenta tends to feel less but that does not mean bb is not moving. Look at your 19-20 wks detailed scan report. It is written there. Belle did not move alot when in my womb. Nv either kick until I wake up or feel painful also. Her movements r always light even till I deliver. U can ask dr Loh next visit what's the exact bb's position during scan. That will give u an idea why u always feel on the left. I always asked him at every scan when I m still lying down n he was scanning. He will point to my abdomen to tell me where the hands n legs r! Enjoy the journey!

Tromso, the onli big items we needed was the cot and stroller. We got a combi stroller so wasn't that big a deal not tt expensive.
I don't really go to department stores in Oz, cos small little shops along the shopping streets are nicer (am usually in melbourne or sydney) but Target's quite good.
I onli got baby Gaia bath, lotion, etc from Oz. Cos cheaper but aussie dollars is actually still quite high so didnt get many stuff there. Onli stuff made there will be cheaper. But if you need toiletries, Priceline has good deals. Otherwise prefer to buy from the States especially during sales or from outlets. And clothes from Primark in the UK is quite worth it, cheap and good.

Tanny, I also just read about anterior placenta earlier this week, means baby will be housed more towards our back, hence may feel less of the kicks.
Also says in the book that the peak movements is normally fr week 24-28.
For me, the baby kicks/ moves a lot if I'm hungry, like every 2-3 hrs, the worst is in the middle of the night when I sleep on my left. When I sleep in my back, lesser movements. The other day I didnt feel much baby movements (2 days in a row), almost wanted to rush down to see dr Loh. But active again soon the same day. I think they have their off days too.
I'm starting to feel shooting pains in the pelvic area, especially if I walk a bit more. I think the uterus is getting heavier, energetic days are almost over I feel
How's your weight gain now Tanny?

Hazel, I tried many methods those 2 days but very little movements felt. Usually when I tap my tummy few times, baby will response within 1-2 mins but those 2 days this method oso didn't work
was quite frightening. Then I thought maybe I have anterior placenta.
Now that you mentioned, I just checked the Oscar report, no mention of anterior placenta. Thanks for mentioning this
Also wondering how do we know if we are suitable for natural birth, I.e. correct pelvic bone shape?

Tromso, not oscars report. Is the 19-20 wks full scan report. KKH report has. TMC one doesn't?
Pelvis shape, bb's size n position r all important factors to successful natural delivery. A experiences gynae will be able to assess. Oh ya, even if all these are gd, cervix dun dilate to 10cm within ~12 hrs after water bag burst also no use.

Not much price diff? Thanks Catherine, I'll check that. I saw in Watsons but no discounts. ok, will monitor taka. Actually it's quite heavy n may leak too, I hv a strong feeling sis will reject anyways
Butters, so you are next in line
All the best to you n baby. Do let us know when you pop
Rest heaps meanwhile...
Butters, so you are next in line
I've just check the tmc detailed scan report, it does say which way the placenta tilts towards or center. Not anterior for me.
btw Hazel, when will we know if our pelvic shape is ok for natural birth, can ask dr loh to check on my next scan?
I heard the shape can be hereditary, for my mum, not suitable for natural birth, so c-section. My sis opted for c-section cos she wanted to choose auspicious date/ timing. Hope I can have natural birth....

Tromso, so your plancenta is posterior, fundal or left/right lateral? Our pelvic shape will not change. R u already in 3rd trimester? U can share with him your family history (mum's case) and asked him the chances that u can do natural delivery. I was concerned like u too coz 10 yrs ago, someone commented that I hv narrow pelvic bones n hence not easy to do natural delivery. I mentioned to dr Loh in 3rd tri and he told me he dun think I will hv any issue. Well, he is v accurate Loh.
Why wait till 3rd tri then ask? Coz he will assess out pelvic bone size to bb's size. If bb is big and we hv small pelvic bone, cervix may not open at all. So, ask him his views. He will share with u.
Tanny, I hv anterior placenta. Thats why belle's movements r always v light. Nothing strong at all. I still thought she is a gentle n guai girl until she is born then I know I m wrong! Belle is v strong n kicks alot, but I nv felt all these when she was in my womb.

Thanks for explaining Hazel. Mine is left lateral, I read online that the position may change over time. Anyways I'm guessing it's not too important, will not affect anything right?
Actually my baby kicks quite hard, keeps me awake at night a bit. So could be a blessing in disguise you couldn't feel much of Belle's kicking then
I'll be 3rd trimester nxt week, alright I'll ask dr Loh about it. Thanks.

Tromso, ya, placenta position should not cause you or your baby any problems. However, the only possible problems is when one has an anterior placenta AND is having the baby by c section. They maybe a higher risk of bleeding.
Err... I dun think position of placenta will change by mid pregnancy. The placenta develops wherever the fertilised egg embeds in the uterus...

Thanks Hazel, noted
no wonder when I sleep on my left, can always feel the kickings on the left and towards my back, banging against the bed...haaa...sigh...
Chris and Hazel, how come both of you have aches? I thot you wash yourself with cooked boiled water during confinement? Or is it fr carrying baby?
My friend who recently delivered in Mar, has to wear hand guard now due to sprain from carrying baby
Sometimes I wonder if it's age. Like for my another sister who got pregnant at age 28, she doesn't get all these pregger problems/ discomforts and her post birth health became much better than before. Making me feel very old and sickly haaa...

Tronso,
i also wondered why i got all the aches, but i got to admit i dun follow 100% of the rules, like at times really no choice i wash hands or stuff with tap water..aches mainly from carrying n feeding bb n pumping milk...my mil says cos i dun sleep or lie down often cos confinement they believe we should lie down for so tat the pressure is off our back and is the time for us to heal...whereas i'm always walking or seating at my laptop without a backrest....
i believed age plays at important part...

Mummies, I hope your aches and pains will go away soon. Maybe when you start working again, the aches will start to get lesser as will not be carrying babies that much then. I see my young mummies friends, those who works, they seems happier to get back to the routine, but for those sahm, their pressures and fatigue only start to slowly go away after child turns about 1...

Hi Chris, possible to share your massage lady contact? You can pm me too
Thanks!!
I accompanied hubby to his spa treatment last weekend, we were given the couples room so I just lie down on the massage bed and rest. As I was observing hubby being applied the dead sea salt and getting scrubbed, I felt so envious....!! Was seriously hoping I'm the one getting scrubbed squeaky clean instead
But I couldn't bear to watch his massage in process, as I was so needing one too, such a torture being in the same room lol... Really can't wait to get a gd pampering session after childbirth
Sunbelle, I feel that the hospital tour isn't very informative, as we can view the rooms online too. So far, it appears we were only being shown 1 ward due to the over demand.
