Hihi everyone! I am Jolene
I am 13 wks pregnant with my #2 now
EDD is 26 Jan but most likely will C-sec on 9 Jan
Yay! Still in time for CNY ^^
First trimester was tough as I was bleeding badly at 3rd week and gynae was worried its ectopic since we cannot deducted the baby even at wk5. Bedrested from 3rd to 6th weeks. We were thrilled to finally deduct baby at wk6.
Morning sickness was bad. Worse I was not working when I had my #1 so now I felt really tiring juggling with work and #2 pregnancy
But thankfully I have nice bosses...
Oh ya, my #1 is a 2+ yr old girl who is turning 3 yrs old in Nov
She was a Nov 09 baby
I am 13 wks pregnant with my #2 now

Sylvia, any shopping or eating list or Tokyo?? Hahah I will be staying in Shinjuku!
Eitrine,
If u can, buy car seat and stroller in USA!! It's much cheaper!! Small items can always order online... Shipping not so exp.. Haha... Stokke stroller selling in sg for $2k+, USA only selling for around $1.5k... Car seat like Britax is much cheaper in USA!

Jolene u can feel your BB movement already? Amazing! Wish I can feel it too~ can u tell the gender yet? We actually saw ours moving during the last Oscar test n I teared... Lol abit overwhelmed...
Hammiebao What brand of stroller n car seat do u recommend? My hubby is very particular of strollers... he wants one that has reversible handle, can hang barangs at the back, has support for the feet so BB feet is not dangling. I read mclaren had good reviews but hub wasn't impressed.

Hi LM & Belle2006, in my previous thread..there are a few breastfeeding guru mummies so most of us are able to bf until at least 4-6 months. As our pregnancy draws nearer to the 3rd trimester, we can discuss more about increasing supply and how to get help for blocked ducts, etc!
Lx3, I think 2ks and cheese are related by blood! *chuckles*
Eitrine, hammiebao is right! Buy car seat, stroller and baby GAP/Old Navy/Ralph Lauren in the States. Much cheaper than SG. I'm using Peg Perego for my #1. Love it coz I can put tons of barang and its stability but its quite heavy.

Babyplus,
I am also skeptical about it but there are just so many other posts that praise so much on it. you girls are probably right..
Eitrine:
i envy you going to US. travel light, as there are a lot to buy! hammiebao is right, i also rather target the big ticket items like car seat, strollers and breast pump as you will hv more savings. plus, my friend told me you can have the big items check-in the box - but of cos you need to think about the help you can get at the airport - i think people will be nice to help preggy woman, just ask. I am also thinking of asking a friend to bring in a stroller in Nov...hehe

Eitrine,
Car seat - I'm using Britax for my boy (my friend highly recommend Britax) Sg is exp... I think mine is selling at $400+ in Mothercare... Guess US is at least $100 cheaper...
Stroller is very personal, u all really have to try it to see if u like it... Lots of things to consider about.. I can only give feed back on those My friends and i used..
Combi Miracle Turn - I used it for 6 months, light wt and able to stand by itself.. Cannot hang too heavy things behind, basket is real small... ad my boy always sweat in it but I don't know why
Maclaren techno xt - hardy and durable, it's very easy to push around even on rough roads.. Wheels are big... Basket not big and cannot hang heavy stuff behind, cannot stand by itself
Peg Perego Pliko Mini - currently using this, I like it as its light weight, big basket and very stable (won't topple even u hang heavy stuff without bb in stroller)
My friends review on
Bugaboo - big basket and good to use but too heavy, almost 10kg
Stokke - very Easy to manuveor and bb sits high! But racy and very difficult to keep and assemble, almost 15kg and it will be very mafan if u are not driving cos u have to dismantle the seat etc...
Capella - cheap and good, Opening and keeping more or less like combi, abit heavy but easy to manuveor too
For handle that's able to switch, I tried with combi, I find that the stroller is not stable after switching... And u will only let bb face u for the first maybe 3 months.. Haha
Peg Perego is very good brand, I like Pliko p3 alot but it's heavy...
For me I need light wt stroller as I bring bb out by myself very often... And not all taxi driver will help u with stroller!

Stroller: currently using Peg perego SI, very good and won't topple. Had Combi, don't like. Very cramp and cannot hang things...

Dear mummies, haven been loggin in much! Hope everyone here is well and for mummies taking tests, may you all pass with flying colours!!
Just also wanted to check if anyone has experience using "pregnancy pillows"? Thought of getting one but wonder abt the efficacy of such pillows. I am worried abt possible backache / neck problems while sleeping cos I'm quite prone to that.. (similar to "lao4 zhen3" where u sleep in wrong or awkward position on ur pillow n end up w neckache or backaches in the morning)..

Canopy, jia you... You will be in safe hand under Dr TC Chang.. lots of hugs
Yes, me too getting ready for my amniotic test at 1:30pm today. Both my daughter and my son talked to my BB last nite and told BB to b brave like both of them. I did amnio tests for both my 2 elder kids and I share with them that this BB also need to go thru the procedure to check if she or he is healthy like both of them
My daughter told me she had prayed for BB as well as she is very eager to have another silbling
Jia u and best of luck to all mummies going for the test

Just a gentle reminder to mummies going for amnio test:
Go home straight to rest after the procedure.
Take the antibiotic timely and hv sufficient rest for the next few days b4 u resume to your normal routine.
For me, my hubby will b around to do cooking these few days
so that my maid can take care of my 2 kids when they are back from childcare
Infact, I m like some mummies here taking junk food for this
pregnancy. Really can't help it as I hv bad morning sickness in my first trimester....At times i feel bAd towards my BB....
Another reason probably becos it's not my first pregnancy so
no longer so kan cheong to follow the rules.
Just had mince meat noodle and fry carrot cake for my breakfast before going to TMC...another unhealthy diet.

Thanks ladies! Am at tmc now. Waiting for my turn.
Thank you ladies Goethe support! I am finally done and over with the test!!! What a relief... The process was really fast, not so painful during the process but I feel a bit crampy feeling and a little pain after that.. Was really terrified when hubby wasn't coming in with me...
Jia you canopyhaze!! You can do it too!!!
Now after the test comes the terrible waiting... 2 weeks for the result to be out!!! Pray for good results
