canopy, I see. Regarding the ML, I will leave 1.5 mths to take leave to bring bb for immunization, etc. I don't mind taking leave since my gal will be going regular kindy and will be home in the afternoons.
Esp June/Dec where my hb will be on leave and I can take leave then too.
Bliss_ling, I also cannot survive wo my tea... I will look like one worm uh...

Enjoy the long weekend everyone! Bringing my boys to take studio shots tomorrow - looking forward to that.
Maternity Leave - I will take it from the day I deliver...but I have to clear some leave prior. So will probably go off from Christmas Day onwards. Unless of cos, baby chooses to make an appearance prior to that...

Mummies who are keen to get medela spares, I have checked with my fren who said shipping from US is very ex. She sent a key back to SGP and that cost her USD$20. So ex. So think we get locally..
Shice will be helping us to check out the discounts by local sellers. Pls kindly post here and let us consolidate the list before we can finalize the total orders. Thanks..
If the pricing is not any better than what we buy indivually, then we will cancel the bp. So we try what we can lah. Haha..

hi ladies!
Just went to expo baby fair today and also Metro and Watson fair next to it. got consultation about selecting pumps, looked at different things like milk tray (amazing), special milk pockets to collect BM on one side while latching, clothes, sterilizer, bassinets and more! Have u girls start shopping? I am really starting late! oh yes, watson fair had Pampers, Size S (48pcs) at 35.80 for 3 packets. seems like a good deal?

Bliss, for me 1 bottle is enough to cook 3 times of half-chicken quantity. Depends on how much amt of the rice wine you wanna add. 2 bottles might be enough if u have other alcohol like vsop/martell/DOM, etc.
Averie, lucky it's not serious. Now I'm extra careful, esp when I'm walking up/down staircase. Try to take things slower, since we are getting heavier & belly getting bigger.

Ya really need to take things slowly. I keep forgetting I am pregnant. I still tend to walk very fast that why always here pain there pain and gynae suggest i wear support belt. Even wake up also must slowly move body to one side before getting up which I find it troublesome. I always get scolding from my gynae because after ultrasound scan when I get up from the bed I just bring myself up. Haiiizzz...

Happy Monday to everyone!
Wanna ask if any mummy here been told of having low amniotic fluid? My baby is growing as per se, but AF a bit low. Was told to drink tons of water.
Just wondering if any other foods can help to boost the level? I read to drink abit of coconut juice can help too. Any other advise?

BP, high on AF? I read can take medication to lower the levels right? But I think no meds can help to increase the volume. Are you doing anything over your side?

Hi Wasabe, tc!
Dont walk so much..
I am trying to, but I still carry my boy now.
He now will accept that I cannot carry him for long, he will say mama tired, dabby carry..
finally! My hardwork paid off! He normally very sticky to me and now at least he said that and im very happy!
Finally bought the big ticket which is the cupboard! Mei mei and khor khor have their own! loll.
I will start to wash after I clean up the cupboard. but looking at the amount of clothes to be wash, I feel that im way too kiasu..
Khor khor clothes can let mei mei wear till how old already... and I doubt my MIL will use so many clothes.. haha... I think I have to reconsider when i dump into the machine for washing... if not the cupboard also flooded with clothes.

Mine cannot.. Coz my flat nt ready yet. So staying wif in laws.. All squeezing in 1 rm.. Now oso headache where to keep my #2 clothes. Coz #1 clothes already like no place to keep already.. Mayb juz throw in the cot.. Since bb shd b taking up very little space. Haha!! Hopefully by the time bb turn 6mths new place will b ready.. If nt reli gt space constrain!!!
Thanks mummies!! I had over exerted myself with my 2 year old toddler and a overseas trip and my cervix started opening.. So had to do an emergency cervix stitch under ga... Hiaz.. My first pregnancy was very smooth.. So this really came as a surprise
Gynae said my stitch can only "dong" for a while and i cannot walk and can only sit up for meals.. It's been v tough past few weeks trying to set logistics at home and work and getting use to being so bed bound and cannot carry my ger
.. Last minute hire maid also.. But I'm still very grateful for this pregnancy and trying to entertain myself at home and stay happy!!
every week is a bonus and I will cheer baby on!
Btw mummies.. Will you let your baby boy wear jie jie pink color clothings? Hubby doesn't want his boy clad in pink or ruffles hahaha.. But lidat very wasted le..

Wasabe: take care ok!! If u watch dramas, this is the time to do so!! I love HK dramas, bt no time watch coz once off work is busy wif my ger.. At my 27th wk gynae visit, was gonna go genting for the wkend so ask gynae ok or nt.. Of coz he said no coz gt chance of premature, bt short trip shd b ok coz paid liao.. Bt he still say better nt la, i took the chance. Luckily no prob. No more hols for us till #2 is at least 6mths i guess..
Since preg bout 4mth i already told my ger mummy gt bb cannot carry her.. Whenever hubby is ard i'd say look fOr papa, bt if he's nt ard she'd have to walk. N after a few times she knows. So she alwaz says mummy gt baby, cannot carry. Bt i still carry her when she cant wake up in the morn n i gotta bring her to cc b4 i go to work. Bt seldom..
As for clothes.. I nt particular.. Who says boys cant wear pink? Anywaz.. Who can see when they're wearing it at hm? Unless is take photo or go out gaigai than change to more boyish clothes lor..

wasabe > I see.. so now.. remember not to over exerted urself.. Yup.. just lie in bed, though it is both boring and worrying (about logistic/household chores/ur toddler).. See what the doc says during your next review. If condition is better, maybe can sit on sofa/bed to play with ur toddler
So far, my boy only had a pink top. However, this top is for boys.. yet, hubby also not pleased..

Hi mummies. Can anyone remember when will the gynae visits change from once monthly to once every 2 weeks? Is it from 32 weeks onwards??? Haiz, my memory is getting bad, can't remember...
Julie I went for 4 days holiday.. Thought should be ok since I did that for my first pregnancy also .. But I guess the difference was I had my ger with me this time round .. And perhaps 2nd pregnancy Gynae say a bit looser Liao (oops hee)..
I think I will let baby wear pink at home then gai gai wear more boy and macho clothings haha but some really v girly like little cupcake little sweetie that kind maybe not haahaha..

Wasabe: mayb u carried ur ger too much.. Caused too much stress. Coz i refrained fm carrying my ger. Made it up wif lots of hugs n kisses..
no more hols, so sad.. So making it up to my ger by bringing her go play alot every wkend.. Another motive is to make her tired so she'll slp soundly during nap time. Haha!! And i'm Running out of idea on where to go already. Any idea mummies??

Freesia,
At my last check which was week 28, my gynae said next visit at week 32, then will be 3 weeks later, 2 weeks later and then weekly. If my preggy brain didn't get it wrong also. Hehe
Boy/ girl clothes,
My #1 looked like a boy for the longest, longest time. Cos she had little hair growth. So I'm very sensitive about giving her boyish clothes, but she also didn't really suit girly things cos she looked so boi boi!! Only recently with more hair does she not get mistaken for a boy. So I quite sympathise with those with boys who dun want their boys to look like girls. Lol.

canopyhaze, I think alot of ppl still on leave today. I haven't log-in here for a long time as my company block this site, but strangely I can access this webpage today. I think IT also on holiday..lol
iluvcookie, my #1 is c-section, opting for c-section for #2 as well. You can try VBAC if you want, but for me, I hate the waiting game.

Friends, noted.
iluvcookie, i want to go for natural if possible. but quite unlikely since my first c-sect is abt 20mths only, by the time i deliver.
For baby clothes, my boi had pinkish clothes hand down by my mil side cos got 2 nieces in front liao, so got lots got pink clothes. i let him wear at home.
i think so thats y ppl tend to buy more neutral colours...
Julie, can go google on the places to go for kids..
