no matter is 1 bill or 2 bills, the claims are the same amt.
Coz it's by MAX amt used.
DM, unless u walk alot or emergency cases, usually I heard is neary EDD or later. My #1 is actual EDD. So I hope #2 also actual EDD too as lung maturity will be well developed. For long health purpose, lesser lung problem, asthamas, cough, flu, etc.

xinyue,
I think NB diapers grow out quite quickly... Furthermore, diapers for NB gets changed every few hours... I may buy Mamy Poko, Huggies or Drypers... Cos Huggies n Drypers my #1 used before. But when she got older, she used Mamy Poko and Drypers. Mamy Poko for night and Drypers for day.
Komodo Wet wipes are good. I will grab them if I happen to go past Watsons.

Chesse/DM, I asked my gynae yesterday... Usually the estimated EDD is v similar to the first one. If first one early, second one will also follow same. Unless ur first preggy had some complications which caused him/her to be delivered early (e.g. pre-eclampsia, etc).
Chesse, my gal was about 2.6kg (yet she is a full term bb at 39 wks +). So doesn't matter la. What's important is they are healthy!

haiza, the baby's weight is an estimate. I rem my #1, her estimated weight at delivery suppose to be 3kg plus, but come out is only 2.6kg lor. She is healthy and I guess I had an easier delivery since I'm quite small sized too.
As for helping bb fatten up, I hear many mummies eat Durians to do that. Warning thou: Durians are very high in sugar - so Gestational Diabeties is a risk. Furthermore, Durian tree nowadays got a lot of hormone injections to make them ripen and grow more... So I rather eat if I wan to then for the purpose of growing the bb weight.
I would rather just take more protein (I do take beef steaks occasionally outside since my home got guanyin- actually cannot eat one). Protein can be animal protein (like chicken, fish, eggs) or vegetable protein (like soy). This pregnancy I have 3 square meals a day (including breakfast) and one supper (supper usually is milk w cereal or bread spread w butter/cheese and sometimes when I get unhealthy - maggie mee).
Oh oh, I forgot. Some mommies also drink the mommies milk? Like Similac Mum, etc. But this round I didnt take. my #1 I took, but her size still pathetic. So this round, I just drink fresh milk.

junior_jj, kodomo wet wipes are good cos they are quite big and moist. What u wan is wipes that are wet and big to clean up messes (esp poo poo). So far my fave is J&J and Kodomo. But J&J more expensive (I think), usually the hospitals use this brand - pink packaging (if I didn't rem wrongly). Smell wise, kodomo is also ok.
If u wana buy and keep should be ok. Just keep in a cool place away from heat. If u open one pack to "try", you better use it up cos it will slowly dry up after u open it.

So this time I will just drink my fave Meiji fresh milk. Hehe, that's why I gave away my free thin of similac mum and the dumex mummy milk powder... Don't waste. yah big easier to carry lor. But my hb seems ok to carry my bb from birth... ;p
DM, no kan cheong la... Can always slowly buy. Go baby fair look see look see...
Some things like stroller, baby sling, baby carriers (can always wait till later to get).
I thought I have a list somewhere but dunno put where... Let me go find it then I post... Lolz.

Xinyue: So I am not alone.. My friends around me all say walao.. How come I can "ren"? LoL~
Snowger/Cheese: My gynae also told me that. But I am drinking it.. Cos my gum become very sensitive.. If I eat something too hard (like chicken or pork) my toothache starts. So I eat softer food anddrink alot.
Milk drink before sleep as supper. I also drink milo, soya, fresh milk and plain water. Haha.

Gynae only said watch sweet food and carbo. Bb is healthy. Before he complain abt my weight, I told him must cut down , if nt, cant natural delivery. Hahaha!!

usually advice is shopping during 4-7th mth preg as 8th mth onwards will be nt walk so much unless u wanna give birth early.
U can also shop online/ spree since they hv discounts from gap/ old navy/ carter's etc. sometimes up to 35% off. Alot of online sites & facebook online stores to shop.
Kekekeke!!
There's a warehouse sales end Oct, will update when the co gives the details.
U can find, toys, cot, pram, wet wipes, bathing items, milk bottles, diaper bags,clothing, etc,etc.
For Breastpad: I recommend Facebook online store -Bubblytots Mise's Japan 168pieces value pack at $25. Good and cheap!

DM, I also havent buy anything except a large Longchamp bag to be used as diaper bag. haha...
I am still doing my research. Today just order a customized beansprout pillow from SMH forum which will take about 1 mth to reach me.
I also 'ren' very long because my hubby dont allow me to buy. He said the things gonna keep for months until can be used. He only allow me to start buying in November.

Mummies, just wondering if it's necessary to buy a breast feeding support pillow? Wondering if it will get very tiring carrying baby while breastfeeding, especially as the bb grows and gets heavier.
Sometimes I wonder how much of what mummies are advised to buy are really worth buying (ie. will be used and not collect dust)

Cord blood
asked gynae about his opinion. He said the most important will be when we as parents are old as like our parents dun hv such storage for them to use when old. Though it might not be applicable to the bb as the previous posts, the siblings' ones can benefit. & even if 1 illness cant use, but many other illness can.
Plus NUS now is on researching using stem cells in heart as heart can't grow cells and only can use pacer nw. The research showed that adding stem cells, the heart grew new cells and in term, heart can recover n be healthier.
Another thing is not rely on 1 cord blood but have at least 2 kids' so that both kids and both parents can benefit.
But he emphasize that ask me to go n ask myself n know more about it myself. He's neutral whether I take up or nt.

Any mummy know if avent and pigeon food and milk warmer can fit nuk wide neck bottles? Or any brand wide neck bottles?
DM > hmm.. just take it easy.. slowly slowly.. imagine, when my bb was discharged from hospital, i dont even have diapers and formula milk on standby at home! What we did was, few weeks before my EDD, we check out the various brands of diaper and FM first. 2nd day after bb was discharged, then we stock up a little bit
As u would realise alot of things available in the market, is actually redundant.
Re breast feeding pillow, it is all up to individual. My aunt passed hers to me. I used a few times before keeping it.. Doesnt suits me..
Why I said not to stock up on diapers.. U never know if the brand that you are getting suits the baby's skin. if u stock alot, to only find that your baby cant use it, how?

Yes just moved in and it's a nightmare. Boxes and dust e everywhere! Grrr...
Will take a breather and meet up with the rest later
EDD
My #2 came out later than my #1, if I rem correctly.
Actually I want a December child. I really don't find the dragon year more competitive. It gets more and more competitive yearly anyway. Dragon year only means more bbs, which to me is a good thing, it 'dilutes' the average Jan bb really waste time...

@asphere, where is ur son school? I going to move to Tampines 7xx.
@minkx, really need to start so early? Is it the normal practice?
Headache whether to look for nanny or maid. I stayed quite near to my office, able to go back home during lunch time .. e.g. leave home at 8am and back home around 6pm, i.e. 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 6pm will be only bb at home with maid if I opt for maid.
With maid, there is somebody to help for houseworks and cook .. but afraid if they are not good; nanny more professional in terms of taking care of bb; but houseworks have to be done by your own .. is more tiring. I m thinking if I can start hiring a maid during my maternity and can monitor her personality before I hand over my bb to her? But still afraid what if something happen when I start to work?
Any suggestion?
