I'm 34, hope I can have #3 when I'm 36. tres, your 2 girls are very close in terms of age, can play and study together. My #1 will enter secondary sch when my #2 is just maybe k2 or pri 1 depending she comes in dec or jan next year. Seems like many of us are already thinking of #3
As my doc already told me most likely I will be having another girl, I don't have to buy new clothes. pinkdice, you didn't get to know the gender of your bb during oscar scan?

I'm 35 this year. I skipped my Oscar coz my gynae thinks if I'm definitely not going for Amnio, no point going for Oscar.
I'm thinking of #4 buahaha coz #1 and #2 have each other but #3 like a little lonely? Heee... See how everything turns out first.
DEtailed scans and antenatal scans
Btw, we discussed the last visit and I raisedy concern why there are so many cases where Oscar results and detailed scans results normal and bb turned out ds. He told me Oscar has a pick up rate of 30% in all ds cases (doesn't mean it's not accurate but 70% of ds aren't detected by Oscar because not all ds bbs have ds features). And also cases of autism and other developmental problems are not picked up antenatal.
Frankly I know so many more serious cases of developmental problems that cannot be picked up earlier on. So I guess you'll never know ... Oh well.

Wendy,
Do take care and keep your spirits up! Think only of the good things...like imagine the water bag slowly filling up with amniotic fluid and the hole closing up. Jia you!
Gender,
Mine should be a girl cos we didn't see anything sticking out, although the angle was bad and I didn't conclusively see 3 lines either. Hmm. So the jury is still out. Anyone like me? Knowing yet not knowing?
#3,
I was just telling my hubby that I must be mad for thinking about #3 when #2 isn't even out yet. Don't know can cope or not, energy-wise and all that. Especially considering the MS....then I see that so many of you ladies are also thinking about this! Haha it's like pregnancy forgetfulness is so powerful it can even erase such recent memories for me.

Seems like we r having quite a lot of dragon girls here. LM, mine is also like "knowing but not knowing". Gynae say more or less confirm a girl for me but angle not right so can't show me the 3 lines. Will know during detailed scan. Another 1+ week! Can't wait.. Heh!
Re: #3
I'm also looking forward to having #3, while carrying #2 now. But the age gap btw 1 n 2 is like 20months only, I intend to wait a few years later. Just feel sad that I can only have max 3 coz my #1 is by csec. #2 also gg csec.

So many of us are probably having girls. The gender of my bb also not confirmed though doc says more likely a girl but told me not to buy clothes yet.
Next monday after my gynae checkup may go over to taka to have a look at its toy fair. Anyway #1 going to pri 1 next year, she doesn't play with toys much nowadays.
Shice, usually how long after a c-section that a mother can try to conceive again?

BP,
Congrats on your good amnio results! You are normal lah, cos no matter boy or girl most important must be healthy!
Actually initially I wanted boy but when my Oscar results not good, hubby and I prayed hard for a healthy and regretted for being biased for the gender. Cos no matter boy or gal we sure we will also love the same.
Full house,
The staff nurse who assisted my amnio test actually advised that if got next child I should just skip Oscar and go straight for amnio. Mainly of my age also, 32 already. We also agree cos the worrying period between Oscar and amnio was too long and mentally stressful for us.

Shice,
It's possible to have vbac right? Or your gynae advised against it? My neighbour had a vbac for her 2nd. Her third she even went natural w/o epidural. Respect.
Gender and detailed scan,
I'm going for it on 30 august afternoon at tmc. Anyone there at the same time? Hopefully the scan can tell me once and for all the gender and I can dig out #1's clothes or buy new wardrobe!

belle, i'm not sure if there is a minimum period after c-sec to conceive again. but i got a couple of friends who conceive when #1 is ard 9-10months. For me, i conceived when my #1 turns 1.
LM, gynae advised against coz the first preg, baby's head circumference is quite big. gynae say normally second one head circumference may be as big too. plus the shape of hip bone may be narrow for normal birth that may cause prob dilating. tried for 10hrs and only dilate 2cm. thus, all factors combined, she advised for c-sec for this one. for myself, i also worry my c-sec wound may tear during normal birth too.
canopyhaze, how's ur holiday? btw u brought ur #1 to holiday too? hope u had fun!
I also wanna go holiday but i think it will be difficult to handle #1 while i'm preg. he's now super super sticky to me.

Shice: thanks! The holiday was great! Yes. We brought
#1 with us; as well as our helper and mom in law. We stayed in a villa so there were 2 rooms. Our helper helped to take care of our son. We did nothing by lazing around. Went swimming everyday, strolled along the beach, feeding the elephant etc. Our son enjoyed it very much.

Hi All,
Sorry for interrup. I have a electic beast pump want to sell. Anyone interest ?
Selling Electric Breast Pump : Pigeon Brand.
Selling $120 neg. have been left unused for quite some time. Trying to clear the storage space.
used for 3 months. Not a heavy user as my boy is drinking 80% on formula milk, its look as good as new as its kept inside the box after use.
will add in
1. all the spares parts for the breat pump.
2. 2-3 used bottles (been used to store pumped milk only)
3. 1 tube of nipple care cream (new)
4. 1 box of pigeon disposal breast pad (36pieces) (unopen)
its easy to bring around for usage as there is AC and battery power option, especially for those working mom.
sms me at 9424 9951 if interested, do not pm me as i do not always log in to check the acc. thank you
Features:
Silent Electric Breast Pump
The Silent Motor
The silent motor emits a mere 58 decibels of sound. This allows you to express milk without disturbing your baby sleeping nearby.
The Advanced Sealing Air CushionTM
- Stimulates a steady let-down
The soft round edges of the Advanced Sealing Air CushionTM provide an airtight seal over the entire areola. This structure allows for steady expression of milk with only a light suckling sensation.
The Adjustable Suction Strength Dial and Suction Cycle Speed Controller
- allows you to express milk comfortably, depending on your physical condition at the time.
This breast pump comes with a suction strength dial with five pressure level settings and a suction cycle controller for regulating the speed of suction. You can customize the pressure and speed every time to match your own comfort level.

Etirine: Yes, USA set will need to use the adaptor that will suit SG voltage. Last time I bot my PISA from The First Few Years shop and it came with SG adaptor inclusive. I saw some Medala sprees in bulk purchase section which sell the adaptor - IMO, safer to buy the SG adaptor rather than transformer from hardware store.
Many bb gals due in Jan 2013! haha, I hope mine is a bb gal as well... keeping my fingers crossed!

canopyhaze, ur holiday sounds great! wish i can have such a holiday to rest and recharge. Starting to feel the strain of the preg plus taking care of #1 le. So tempted to get a helper now, else #1 keep sticking to me and i have to carry him.
Etrine, I got Medela US set also. Adaptor/converter can just get from any hardware stores. Ard $1.50 to $2.50 only. It's just like those travelling adaptor, but just get a fixed one that converts US to SG.

Wenyl: 3 weeks, done amnio on 25jul, then saw him earlier on to get the test report from amnio. He doesn't do detailed scan, mine will be done by the sonographer on 4th floor where we have done our amnio, seeing dr Paul after the detailed scan to review the detailed scan results.
Pinkdice: the taka toy fair is still on. Am going there to look look see see later. I will let u know if it is worth going.

canopyhaze, ya depends on luck. Anyway we are still trying to dong until really cannot then hire helper. Coz i intend to let my kids go infant/child care. Worry later helper got nothing to do in the day time when we work. haha! Enjoy ur shopping at the toy fair later! wanted to look for toys but was really crowded on the weekends. Take care and walk carefully!
Hello ladies! Today me on leave... Busy surfing the net for good bargains and bought quite a no of stuff for my no 1 at Gmarket... Next mth going to tear away the credit cards bill without opening..
Shice, me too.. Very tired handling no 1. So super sticky nowadays. I wonder if he cld sense no 2 presence... I have a weekly maid to do cleaning and ironing. It did help a lot on my backache.... Think will not consider full time maid as kind of put off by the min wages and the compulsory off days.. More 'hao ming' than the owners.... My boy now will not ask me to carry him..cos been telling him that I'm in pain and he is now contented that I hold his hands and walk together.. Sometimes he will 'remind' his daddy that mummy pain pain so cannot carry. Children learn fast nowadays....
anyone doing detailed scan at TMC on thurs morning?

@ canopyhaze, my detailed scan will be done by Dr TC Chang on 29/8 (pm). The nurse just scheduled so I take it.. seem that I am afew day earlier than you thou my amnio was done last wed 8/8. Guess the date for detailed scan is faster for Dr Chang
Thanks to all mummies for your encouragement.
Especially to Friend, Valerie and canopy and other mummies too.
Just been to my gynae and all are well as in the amnio fluid in water bag is good. Praise God for His divine protection.

lish-zzz, I am also first time mum also at loss... Dunno what to buy. Keke... Last night I go online doing research looking at baby pram, car seat, cot , play pen. See until blur... so many types and in wide range of prices. No idea what to buy. Pram got 3 wheels & 4 wheels. Cot vs playpen dunno what to buy. But I saw something which is nice call 'snuggle nest' which allow u to co-sleep with baby on the bed.
Can experience mum guide us what are the list of must buy things? When should we should start buying? Like now still seems too early... Still got 5 mths to EDD

averie> u could get a cot-bed~ can be converted into a normal bed when ur kid grows older in time to come~ i'd prefer to use a playmat rather than a playpen..
for prams/strollers> it really depends on ur preference..light-weight ones(e.g combi miracle turn)or big & sturdy ones (quinny..bugaboo)..and also ur budget as well~

belle2006, I just seen Dr Chee on last Saturday morning for last consultation. I told her I gonna change gynae so I took all the reports from her already. I am considering to visit Dr Henry Cheng and deliver at Mount A instead because i stay at Serangoon Gdn here and go to his Bishan clinic is nearer. I heard alot of people said mount E route very jam so I very scared. Haha...
Thanks Shice & Bdmummy!
Shice > your feedback is real helpful! Cos I saw one of the BP selling the adaptor for 60bucks and was thinking is it REALLY that expensive outside or the 1 she's selling is very special. So yours also don't have warranty right? Did you order from Amazon or buy from store?

Pram 3 wheels and 4 wheels which is better? I like 3 wheels look nicer but I read 4 wheels more stable. Haiizz.... Then I also know there is this travel system that has many uses including adapter to the car seat but my hubby said he prefer to buy a separate car seat such that no need to bring in and out of the car.
My MIL told me not to buy stroller just buy baby carrier/sling. She said bring pram out very 'ma fan'
Very headache...
