xuan : babysafe can buy from kiddypalace. saw it there before. or any major kids store.
tiny123 : oo i saw this before.. but find it quite ex lei. and it's soft. but good thing is you can wash the mattress.
for mummies having reflux at night, maybe can try slping with head and shoulders slightly elevated. use 2 pillows?
Me wk 28 now. besides morning sickness coming back, something that is troubling me is my hands and fingers.. always get swollen at night and my hands will cramp.. every single night!! T.T water retention is so bad that i can't really bend my fingers. even my colleague is surprised to hear this cuz normally it is their legs and feet that swells. hardly hands. =(

Xuan: I am at my 31 weeks. Yes, I do exp nausea but my nausea is still managable type.. So far, haven vomit yet.. You try to take small and frequent meals. I realise if I don't take my meals on time, I will feel even more nausea.. Avoid spicy foods if you have Gt heartburn.

Tsm: you too? I can feel your pain.. I searched online and it's nothing serious. But definitely it is irritating. Make me feel like my hands are useless. My doc suggest injection before, but I rejected. Wanna be as medicine-free as possible during pregnancy. Like abit contradicting hor? Haa.
Anyone considering cloth diapering your newborn? I plan to give it a try using pocket diapers.

Re: numbness
Am also starting to get cramps for my legs, feet and palms. think massaging these areas before sleeping helps abit.
Re: disposable undies
Don't know if I can fit into the XL size lehs. usually go travelling I already get L size coz of my butt & hips so nw pregnant/post delivery don't know if XL can fit or not. haha. maybe will go kiddy palace, spring maternity take a look. time to start buying the disposable undies and the pads liaos.
Xuan - oh I nv receive any update from the seller so I still wondering if she has ordered anot. yay!! think the carrier can reach within 2wks!!

Good morning ladies! It is friday, i am so happy, finally can get to rest already. Can't wait for today to be over.
Seems like Taka has quite good cot discount ya? I should go down over the weekend to check it out. By the way, those of you who got it from Taka fair, can they deliver it later? I am not sure if should set the bed ready so early due to dust, etc

vicvic: erm, yar, think babysafe mattress will feel abit warmer as compared to the fibrelux.. fibrelux's kinda like seahorse.. heh heh, hard loh.. I din know tt if kanna urine, can just pour it out wor.. they lady din mention it back then..
Am gg to try cloth diapering this time round, see hw it goes, have alr prep the pocket diapers, then coz forsee tt will have lotsa washing, so bot those mini washing machine online, then if dirty, can just dump in to wash, but too bad, the mini washing machine doesnt have the spin dry function, so guess wash ler, still gotta put into the normal washing machine to dry.. -_-
xuan: we got it fr kiddy palace, forgot the px ler, but ya can chk out kiddy palace, think they got 3 inch or 1.5 inch thickness to choose from.. one for cot and one for playpen..
disposable undies: sometimes it'll be bundled up together with the v wash thgy... so tis free!! heh heh..

xuan: yes thats the bottom spray that i recommended. i think if u get from BP is slightly cheaper than the online. think $22 or something. u check it out.
baby matttress:MFS IFC provides baby cot and baby mattress leh. i dont have to pay any extra. just that every friday i will need to bring the bedsheets back to wash
tsm: i suggested u make a trip to the ifc there 1st to see whether cold or not. for my side ifc, bb sleeping area and play area is separated. the sleeping area is abit cold, so usually i dress bb up in sleep suits or long sleeves when i drop bb in the morning. but as they gets bigger, long pants and long sleeves get into their way as they are learning to crawl and feel. so they might slip.
i give u a listing on what i prepared for ifc later.
yr side the ifc can leave clothes and diapers there or u got to bring everyday. perhaps u can check also. and also check how would they handle the ebm. in milkbags or individual bottles?

oh...baby mattress: last time i let bb sleep on the given free foam mattress when i bought the cot. its lousy to the max! pls dont use foam mattress. cos after awhile u will notice a sink in the foam and its too soft on my opinion.
i been using babysafe latex for my both kids.
i never flip it before and its still in a good condition after 4 years plus. plus i think cos of the holes in the latex, i do feel safe if bb sleeps on the side or what.
vicvic: i feel u...i think i suffer all kinds of stuff for my 1st 2 pregnancies. u prob is suffering a pain in the wrist. its a kindof illness that happened ot preggies. sometimes it comes during pregnancies and sometimes after u give birth. it might or might not go away. but most does, just dunno when. but i believe its in the way when u are doing your daily chores.
i had it after i gave birth to my #1. its spread from my right hand to my left hands as warned by my sinseh. true enough, its so painful that its like i dont have strength to hold things or baby.
there is a kindof injection that can cure it, but whole life can only take 2/3 jabs which i forget.
western medicine sure ask u jab or op la.
because i am bf, i opt out of it and instead i went for acupuncture. 6 courses of acupuncture cures it. sinseh warned that it might be back for subsequent pregnancies, but lucky it didnt.
meanwhile what i can ask u to do is, wear a wrist guard. and then try not to eat cooling stuff. eg, winter melon, sago(like those in bubbletea), long cabbage, green beans...
Hope above helps, at night if u okay, try to keep hands warm, etc, wear gloves

bbkk: both drinking and tonics.
i bought around 10 packs from eys when they had this 25% discount.
u can refer to this link
http://www.euyansang.com.sg/i-know/herbal-tonic-soup.html
i bought:
1. dang gui soup
2. shi quan
3. ba zhen
4. du zhong
these abv are all suitable for confinement. i suggest u mix mix buy.
i intend to get some from fu hua too. roughly about 15 packs.
cos my CL will also make DOM chicken soup, chicken essence, pao sheng.
anyway not enough then buy.
the above amount that i typed earlier is what necessary for basic items.
dang shen have to see what grade u buy also. i always suggested 2nd grade, cos less is more. 2nd grade u just dump 2 sticks in is good enough, rather than u buy skinny type u got to throw more in. and 2nd grade taste nicer.
hope it helps

and black sugar for cooking of pig trotters. but if u dont take its fine.
i also have mi zhao. that is for my cl to cook red bean soup. mi zhao with red bean soup is very nice...and most important, its good fo bf mums.

Bewildered: how many pocket diapers you prepared? I'm thinking to get 10 or 15 to try out.. At night use disposable. If workable then I get more.
2Ks: thanks for the advice. Hope it'll go away after giving birth. If not really v troublesome.
Re: mattress
Went taka fair to buy fibrelux yesterday. Finally, mattress settled! Xuan, if you want fibrelux, can go taka. They have discount. Babysafe I'm not sure.
I realise whenever I am being tortured w morning sickness, I'll crave for sweet stuff. First trimester is like this, now also..
Ahh I'm getting excited abt bb's arrival. Are you ladies feeling so too? Hee hee.

Hi mummies!! TGIF!
Went for gynae appointment yesterday. Scheduled it earlier due to a lump above my right groin. And Doctor say i got Hernia.
So sad. Maybe need to go for surgery after giving birth. And now i must stop carrying my son already. But sometimes i'm alone with my boy and hubby overseas so need to carry my #1 at times. Does anyone have darkened veins? I got on my right thigh. Going to buy the maternity stockings to compress it le.
Xuan, you got sharp pains ah? Got to be careful not to exert yourself too much. Did you let Dr Poon know? I can't remember how much i bought my cot mattress for but i bought a normal one from Chinatown shop called Cheong Choon last time for #1, havent bought any new mattress for #2 yet heh. I finally confirmed gender yesterday! Girl!
