piyoz, thanks. i m thinking of getting a thermal flask. heehee. see if there's any good offers.
too bad, OG dun carry NUK stuff. i din see any at OG Albert complex.
so for baby bottles, i think i get during those expo babyfairs
Hammiebao, my appt on Sat is at 4pm. i prefer go late afternoon cos wont have to wait for very long. haha.
Shice, pls help to add in my details in the table as well. thanks
Averie, i prefer to get a light weight stroller, so that at least if one hand carry baby, one hand u still can open/close stroller. haha..
Hey ladies, i m not sure if u know there r some groups in fb that ppl sell off their baby stuff. some things are brand new, some in good conditions, and prices are usually cheaper than what they bought. so can go see see. like those clothes, toys, cloth diapers, bumwear, some of them bought but din use, end up sell off cheaply.

Shice, Cheong Choon is the one with Winnie is it? They sell a lot of products!! Carry major brands like Capella, combi and maclaren stroller. Just look for winnie, then must bargain kind. Just say "I always buy from you one, give a good price la"
Friends, Wah, you have the exact address of that queen st store? I go so many times, never notice the unit no. Always busy digging for good buys.
Cheese, they sell the normal hankies ... Mao Mao kind, single colour. The kind babies always use.
Jo, bugis, near that Juan yin Miao, just outside OG Albert has this shop that sells cheap maternity. CARRANO. Has a branch in Toa Payoh too. Looks like any neighborhood clothes shop, need to look carefully to see that they sell maternity. Have maternity dresses suitable for office. Got maternity jeans too.
Suntec will carry the more exp, but of course nicer maternity wear.
Snowger, yes, I agree button front better. The neck very soft at few weeks. Button front easier to manage. I gay kiang buy those kimono tie strings ones. Each top has 3 pairs of strings to tie. End up so diff to tie, took very long, baby get impatient, cry before he got dress. Buttons still work best.

Thanks to all ladies who share the shop names. It's very useful.

bliss, yes can control if it's a boy. but will prob spend more money on toys. haha..
Piyoz, rgd the colour, can choose blue, yellow and white. I got request before. For Cheong Choon, i dunno abt Winnie. But i got bedsheets and some stuff there before. They got sell play mats, safety gates, etc. Usually cheaper, but u have to compare urself. Can try to nego. I like to go that shop whenever i need middle-big item stuffs.
snowger, yes, they have infant tops only. Got button type and kimono tie string type. I recommend button coz the string may be abit dangerous for the babies. Btw wat i suggest is in a pkg form, not the loose pcs that Friends mentioned.
nickole, ur details are already in the table. Somewhere at the bottom coz it's arranged by EDD.

Celia, if got really cheap and good deals can grab.
NB sized diapers are confirm not cheap lor - not to mention the rate of changing them is *faints*. Diapers generally not cheap, lucky i got my parents who have been sponsoring my gal's diapers (they hate it when I buy cheaper brands like dryper - cos they are Mamy Poko fans). But seriously, Mamy Poko is really good and I love they can absorb pee pee thru the night. Dryper can leak if bb peeeeesssss way too much.

Bliss_Ling, I calculated... $240 to bring my gal go watch Hi5. a bit steep leh. See how ba. They are only here this week right? I dun think I got time to go during weekdays...
Shice, I forgot how variable teats work if its faster. But my colleague uses it to feed thicker liquids. So my guess is it should be. I should try on my gal first.
Clothes @ Qn Street: I am looking for those 1/2 dozen pcs type but I only wan the top. Cos bottoms all still ok - no stain. See how la, I gotta go and take stock and see how "bad" they are. But dunno when I should start digging...
sylvia, any reason why you want the covered toes? I have a few pcs that I bot during @ Robinson during their sales - those that they have in "carts". I find they generally don't last that long. When the child grows longer, the whole pc cannot wear. Long pants still can "cheat" a bit... I usually let my gal wear w socks.

Snowger, do u mean the promotion may not come back anytime? I am overseas now, only thinking of buying in Dec when I return Singapore. Skali no more good deals then.... sob sob..

Celia, it depends. Sometimes, I think the baby fairs or supermarkets have promotions for certain brands of diapers. (the only good news is NB sizes are usually not on offer) ;p but for some of the brands like Goon, I think they have offer on and off? And if G-market has, it can be at a cheaper price on a longer term basis.
RE: Diapers
Talking about diapers, anyone knows if we can still call to order Nepia diapers??? I remember 5-7 yrs ago I did that by ordering a box of 4 each time & they will deliver for free. It's good & soft like pampers but cheaper than pampers.
RE: Weight Gain
Don't think I put on much weight. Lost 1-2kg in 1st trim n put back those 1-2 kg now in 2nd trim. Anyone still have MS / nausea? I'm still getting it on & off especially during dinner time. V sian. Last 2 pregnancies was much better.

nickole, you welcome.
If wanna wear socks should start from very young then make it a habit. I started my gal on botties then went to socks (never a day wo something on her feet until when she was older - started to run out of sizes to buy). I'm starting to do it for my gal again cos recently she keep suffering from cough. I somehow have a feeling that keeping feet while warm in sleep is btr for their health (lesser colds & coughs)? ;p

coz if wear sock, will pull out.
Mine like bliss wear short sleeve n short , sometimes i make noise will wear long pants in air con. When young will take out while sleeping after 4mth, eyes closed and complained if cant take out. So covered pants , wont complain.
Think the other thing was when #1 was newborn, the temp during the night dropped til like 18-20deg C, so covered pants are good.
BTW, went scan today

Morning mummies,
I have a question here, I have my scan (my gynae told me is detailed scan) this Tuesday, done by my gynae. She checked the organs of the baby, measuring her head, hand size, everything completed around 10-15mins. I did not received any report or the details of the baby after that.
So I would like to know what did
you mummy received after the detailed scan and what did
they check on the baby. Do your need to pay for the detailed scan? Cos she did not charge me.
Thank you!

Ling: I tot frequent urinate at nite only occur in 1st & last trim?? now i m in my 2nd trim and tot i can hv good rest.......me too hv been drinking teh see kosong every morning. My recent checkup, Dr Lim highlighted that I must cut down on sweet thing...he mentioned that my fluid is too much at this point of time....Sigh!! Though I'm not diabetic but he caution me I might get gestational diabetes if i dont control my sugar level as my mum was a diabetic patient. Its more like genetic for my case

Valerie,
I have to wake up every single night to pee. During the first trimester, it's frequent peeing + sleeplessness + frustration (mang zang). The sleepless nights got better in my second trimester.

Ling, I think it depends on the position of the baby. If the fetus is siting near the bladder, you will always feel the urge to pee (even if it's at night). So far I usually wake up once in the middle of the night to pee. cos if tahan no pee cannot slip properly.
valerie, teh see kosong no sugar should be ok? I am also controling sweet stuff. If you do take lots of fruits and carbo, they are also considered "sugars" - just a different form (in fruits is glucose,sucrose. In carbo, is starch convert to sugars). What ur gynae mean by "fluid is too much"? My gynae warned me during my 1st preg, cos the urine test stick got a bit of sugar detected...
piano912, for most of the mommies here, I think we did it at TMC's fetal assesment clinic. The cost is about $100 over (exact figure not sure cos I took it as a package with OSCAR - an earlier scan). Probably because we pay so they will generate 2 sets of reports - one for gynae to keep and another for us to bring home.
The detailed scan is conducted by the sonographer. The list of things (I can think of) that the sonographer looks out for and went thru with us:
1) measure bb's head circumference
2) measure bb's limps (hands and legs)
3) check bb's spines (left side and right for alignment)
4) ensure that the bb's brains are ok (look out for brain split into 2 parts and has this black square box in the middle. measurement of the black square to make sure the fluid there is average - too much no good)
5) check bb's heart (chk bb heart rate, got one side in flow and one side outflow. the heart valves are working)
6) check bb's kidneys (to make sure there are 2. and that they are filled with fluid means functioning?)
7) check bb's umbilical cord (to ensure that there is blood flow dual direction in and out)
8) check position of placenta (to see if it's low or blocking the cervix)
9) make sure bb got 2 legs, 5 toes on each feet
10) make sure bb got 2 hands, 5 fingers on each hand
11) make sure bb has facial features (measure nose, make sure can see the area above the lips and the mouth)
12) GENDER!!! (yah if u wanna know)
