Bbkk, your daughter so sweet and mature for her age. Haha my boy don't even understand he's going to be a Kor Kor soon and still make me carry him! He's 24 months this month though
Fool4love, your CL rate is ok. Mine is 2300 excluding taxi fee to my house.

Actually, i am also contemplating to go for a 2-bedded instead of 1 bedded due to cost and also, hubby won't be staying over.
Most likely will go for Mt. A after hearing my SIL's account in TMC. haha...she said she heard a child saying 'Thank you Mummy' to her when her epidural wears off. She was staying in a 2 bedded and my BIL was just sleeping on the next bed.

tsm: there is no specific brands la..just go which what brand u prefer lor.
most mummies used similac or enfa...their advertisement and marketing most...
what highest DHA etc. but then i tell u, there is a certain amount of DHA that a baby can take anyway, any extra will come out as poo. FYI
i remember my SIL feed FM for her newborn..think 1.8kg last about 2 weeks.
ikuko: damn eerie man...ok i bring my buddha there...lol

Ikuko: eee... Scary! Aiyah they are everywhere so really dont matter one bed two bed four bed. Lol! As long as we are upright we no need to be afraid. Ask them to go. Leave us a lone. I did that when i was single room in uni. Had a few encounters. I m not scared. I feel they are more scared of us. Just be brave n firm.
Just to share my charges for Mt A back in 2010
(Single Room, Natural delivery with epi & assisted (i.e. vaccum)):
Hospital charges $2348.55
Epi doctor charges $375
Hospital charges for baby: $841.20
This is back in 2010, now the latest Mt A maternity package for single room, assisted with epi is $2650. For Mt A I notice not much hidden charges. can refer to:
http://www.mtalvernia-hospital.org/maternity-packages.asp
There is no need to bring pump to hospital. For my #1 I kiasu so brought along my pump but actually hospital got and they will help you sterilise the bottles and parts etc.
tsm: for the FM, just buy the small small tin to standby will do. else if later baby don't need FM then wasted. That time my BM was very low at first so I supplement with enfa FM as that's the smallest tin my hubby could find near my house LOL.
I've been telling my #1 abt #2 since I was preggie as I had very bad MS right from the start so need #1 to understand as I cannot spend as much time with him. Now he will sayang and kiss my tummy everyday. I will also tell him "baby loves kor-kor. kor-kor loves who?" and he will say "Baby!". I think just keep telling them and involving them in our pregnancy and soon they will understand and welcome their new siblings =) will be preparing exchange present nearer the delivery date too. 1 from #1 to #2 and 1 from #2 to #1.

buba:
initially it was my mil who was going to do my confinement since i'm staying with her... but after many advices (some of them from here), i managed to talk to my hubby and got his endorsement to get a confinement lady...
my mil says that she's okay cos she's afraid that i wont like her cooking... I'm more concerned about the night feed... Spoke to my SIL and she told me that to ensure ample milk supply, she had the baby latch on for even the night feed to 'generate' the milk...
I was afraid that my mil wont be able to handle it cos it's at night and all. But i think i'll be very stressed with two elderly at home as well...
Just praying that everything goes well...

bbkk - Your girl is so cute, next time she will take care of you and meimei ^_^
tsm - Can I ask roughly how much is the transport fee for the confinement lady? That's for her coming to our place and going back to M'sia right?
Hmmm does every confinement nanny charge transport fee huh? Seems like unexpected expense from us but yet seems legitimate lol.
Irene - Thanks for sharing the charges. So baby charges we will know only when we discharge hor? Cos the breakdown of the delivery package that the gynae assistant passed me doesn't seem to mention about that.
Wah can feel the financial burden liao. CL, gynae visits, antenatal course, baby stuff, hospital bills, infant care... Year end bonus not enough to cover half... *pulls hair*

Good morning mummies!
Mami, all your food makes me hungry haha!
Bbkk and Fabbie, during pregnancy also can apply nipple cream right? Maybe if your nipples feeling pain now, can apply a bit? I think 2 weeks before giving birth I applied nipple cream once in a while to prepare the nipple for breastfeeding, like preparing for war haha.

chiro: not every CL requires u to pay for their transport to your house. just dont ask first, let them say themselves. usually its only applicable for freelance CL.
for agency CL, they have to come out themselves, otherwise the agent will bring them.
for my agency, the agent will bring them to my house.
bewildered: depends actually. some freelance one they dont required u to apply work permit for them. they will go in chop passport and come out, they have their own planning de. but to apply work permit is for our peace of mind. some kpo neighbours are very "kind" to report to MOM...
my CL told me she kana a check before previously

Chiro: The hop package is inclusive of the Baby stuffs and stay in the nursery room unless of coz got complication. Actually you can go to all the website and take a look at the package price different hospital is offering, it is quite transparent. The only thing they do not indicate is the gynae fees and the PD fees, which your gynae should advice you.
For eg: mine gynae fee is 1400 which is already inclusive of the delivery, so i paid the deposit to him and during my discharge, the balance would be included in the hospital fees and the hospital would settle with the gynae directly.

I seen endocrinologist on Tuesday. Asked me to prick 6 times a day. I only follow first 2 days. But I am thinking to prick 4 times a day.
Before and after breakfast. After lunch and after dinner.
If food I nv try before I will prick after meal. My reading so far after meal less than 6.

Dian tang : yes i am with NUH. u too?
bbkk : i think u shd follow 6 times first. I also started with 7 times everyday until my next review with the specialist. THan they see my readings than ask me to do alternate days.
the max i can go is 6.6. So below 6 is good. I don't think u r diabetic lah.

it could be caused by the food u had taken on the day of the test. i was suspected to have diabetics for my #1 too. just becoz i had a drink with condensed milk before i went for my check-up and the urine test result no good. had to go for another test on the next day to test again, and luckily everything turn out fine. just have to be careful with our food and drink intake. take care.

JC, I also think I am not. I suspect during my first tri, due to ms I always lie on bed 24hrs. Then eat sour plum to curb my vomitting.. Therefore no burning of sugar.. Cos I dun eat dessert Cake all these and my meal are quite healthy. But then I also got family history so might also the case.
2ks, I was 48kg before pg too... Sob sob...tat time still think I am fat, now I think back not fat at all lor...
