I’m also getting it online.
But I saw one Qoo10 website provided by one of the mummies here also quite cheap. Around SGD 450 dollars.
But I don kw what they have in the pack.
Jhw
I ate guava, watermelon, spinach, chocolate, tea and some can foods.
Guess little bit will be ok.
But the 2 most things can’t eat is SHAN ZA & DANG GUI.
Don’t forget.

mommies, dun worry. our gynae, Dr Ben Tham, says pregnant mummy can eat anything anytime. As long as the MTB minimises alcohol and caffeine and ZERO smoking.
Confinement lady rate
Colleague who got CL through PEM paid $2250 (dragon baby). I supppose it will be slightly cheaper for snake baby since it's not as hot a year?
18 food to avoid
I think MSG is hard to avoid. Haha, unless you prepare your own food. I always have my lunch outside.
Breast pump
My cousin wants to pass me her breast pump. Only used 1-2 times. If I sterilise it properly, there shouldn't be a problem right? Any taboo about using other people's breast pump?
Baby gender
I think mine's a girl. Tummy is round. Haha. Old wives tale. As long as baby is healthy, it doesn't matter boy or girl.
Cordlife
Who's going for that?

Hi yun, no taboo abt using pre-owned breast pump.. Moreover she only used a few times..
As for the food that we cannot eat during 1st tri, i also ate quite a few..
I felt the baby kick at 15 wks.. And yesterday the specialist confirmed that it is a girl!!!

Baby kick
I feel nothing so far. Either his/her kicks are too soft or my tummy skin is too thick or I'm not sensitive enough! Haha.
Karen, congratulations! With the gender, you can start to buy the baby stuff. I'm going for my consulation next Wed (week 17). I think I'll also know the gender. Hee. Looking forward.
Hunger pangs
I've dinner around 7pm and always feel hungry around 10+, 11pm. If I don't eat, I can't fall asleep. Hence, I'll try to take half a slice of bread before sleeping (shouldn't eat too much). When I wake up in the next morning around 6am, I feel hungry again! Do you keep feeling hungry?

Vamiga, hahaha... I think let's just take everything in moderation. But I think my baby likes potatoes. I ate a lot of potato stuff when in first tri... French fries, rosti, baked potatoes, hash brown etc!
Sbb, let me go and check it out.
Ya, what's the market rate for CL? I heard it's in the range of $2.5K - $3K now!!!

Red packet need to give how much?
Winnie

My cl is $2.2k for 28 days. Might give her a bigger ang pow as unlike the last 2 times, no more maid ard to help out.
Hi koirc,
I love potatoes these days too!
Hi Yun,
I will usually hv a light supper, or 3 am snack too if v full after dinner. So glad to read in this week's MyPaper that it is healthy to hv 9 small meals (did that during 1st tri!) n 2 bedtimes (i seldom z throughout the nite these days,think bb training me?). Hee...
Won't bother w cordlife. Rather take up a hospitalization plan, as it had proven v useful for #2.

Hmm .. TMC ... They sent 3 nurses to try to analyze baby heartbeat. First 2 scanned for a long time andcould not hear anything.. The 3rd nurse finally heard the heartbeat ... And that took about 45 mins ... One of the nurse did not draw the curtains when doing the scan .. Although I'm in a single bed, I still expect curtains to be drawn cos someone might open the door by mistake?
Dinner was served cold. Very cold porridge, I had to ask them to heat up. Breakfast was served 1.5 hrs late at 930am...
Nurses not confident to set drips .. Had to get resident mo to set drip. In 2010, al these were not issues.. Delivery ward nurse set drip etc etc ...
Oh and they keep insisting no single beds .. No premier single ... Only suites ... In the end after much arragnements on my gynae end .. They gave me single room ...
And i press bell .. Nurse took v long to come .. And when I go toilet .. They helped me into the toilet + carry drip stand ... Never even wait outside .. Tell me to press call bell again and I stayed in the toilet like for 5-10 mins when I Only needed to pee .. Frustrating ..
And a lot small other issues ...

I don kw whether its hunger strike or nt cos have been feeling ok recently.

Hmm… maybe it’s a on and off stuff ba.
HJ

Yun

Once hungry die liao le.. but of course, the rice and noodles was seldom finished.

Hi Hj,
U must b v anxious when not 1 but 2 can't hear bb heartbeat! Tie a device to tummy type? Everytime my gynae use the scanner to let us listen, I don't know whether to hold my breath (so as not to interfere w the rhythm??) as #2 rhythms skipped during a routine check n I had to go mt A for a detailed scan.
Hi sbb,
Could it b some smell in the building that triggered it?
2 wks ago, I was nauseous when entering into the library that I went almost every wk w the kids. Couldn't stand the musty smell! Yet this wk I was ok even though the smell was there, just that I was not so sensitive to it. Must b the hormones.

Hi all
I'm expecting my #2! Edd 4 mar and Gynae say 90% girl. Hubby and I quite disappointed but still health is more important. My #1 is a boy!
I'm trying to get some opinions on post natal massage because I need to slim down after this. Not planning for 3rd child and need regain my shape...

Hello Mummies,
It has been a busy week and hardly had the chance to log in.
Congrats to mummies who already learn about the gender.
Confinement Nanny: I booked mine immediately I found out I was pregnant. cos good ones are taken up very fast. My CL is 2k excl ang pow.
I used BabyPlus for my #1 and will use it for #2 too.
Ceres: I went to Ma Kuang at Nex for accupuncture and tui na massage. A few of my friends went there before their wedding and we think it works! In fact, it's only after I went there that I receive feedback that I have slimmed down. The clothes became looser too. They have trial massage, u may want to try.
