Went to see gynae this morning, a bit surprised that my weight is 49kg...lighter than pre-pregnancy weight. o.o
Quite relieved bb is ok, heart beat normal and size is fine for 17 weeks. Cannot see gender yet cos umbilical cord between the legs, so cheeky. Doc said pink discharge might be due to some infection, some blood shed together with other discharge caused by pregnancy hormones. Just have to monitor closely.
Went window shopping after that.
Tampines sale
The tampines baby sale was full of ppl, I see a few lugging big plastic of clothes... I dun see much choices though. No newborn clothes, the smallest is from 6 months and very messy with limited designs.
Baby expo
Yea nlimm the expo nothing much, quite a few rompers sale and I think the selection much better than the tampines... But I can't find anything close to what I shortlisted in Carters.com
Philips avent sterilizer selling at 99, usual 159. Not sure if that's a good deal?
Other sales
There's 10% discount for combi at baby kingdom, taising(distributor) and at takashimaya till end of dec. Taka got sale for other brands too for the prams and car seats, and there's bundles of Medela/Philips pumps and bottles.
Wanna get the combi pram with 10% discount but not sure that's too early. >.<

Thanks mummies, will get pipa gao and buy some manuka honey. Just saw doctor also. Throat and cough so terrible -.-
Iko, I just started taking fish oil supplements recently. Don't worry you're not missing out a lot. My friend is scared of swallowing big tablets and capsules. She didn't take any fish oil supplements at all throughout her entire pregnancy. Her daughter also very smart heehee. Anyway my gynae say not all fish oil suitable for preggy. They must have the suitable EPA and DHA combination. I only know neurogain. I taking DHAxtra. Don't know if can get at pharmacy.
Anyone know when is the next Taka fair coming up? Can't wait for it!!
Have a good weekend mummies!

Good morning mummies!
dian tang: I am using Combi miracle turn, a gift from friend. It is light weight and easy to handle. Just that, when the child is not in the pram, and if you hang too heavy things at the handle, it will over-turn. Also, I feel that it is not as spacious as Maclaren. cos now my boy is a toddler, he looks squeezy in it.

Btw, I went to expo baby fair ytd. The romper there are real cheap. Bought a few rompers, mittens, blanket swaddles and cloth nappies. Any mummies using cloths napies for your babies?? What do you think of cloths nappy?? I bought like a dozen. Wonder if its too many??

i bought 2 dozens of cloth nappies for my #1, more kiasu than u. only used it for a few days when CL was still around. i find it abit troublesome though...so in the end, never use it as nappy, i used it as a cloth to put on bb's pillow, but when bb is younger, i just used the nappy as a "pillow". need to do alot of washing if using cloth nappy

Dian Tang - I'm going to get Combi Miracle Turn Premier. What I heard is it's very light so have to be careful if you wanna hang your bag on it, then some mummies said the seat abit squeezy as the baby becomes toddler. Think no stroller is perfect. I'm choosing this model cos it's light enough for me and it's easy for me to close the pram. Peg Perego is more stable but I find the closing super complicated lol.
iko0508 - My gynae said fish oil is optional, since no proven study that it is necessary. I bought 21st Century Fish Oil, it's distilled and free from mercury. Maybe you wanna look around in the pharmacy first?
nlimm - Okies I will wait for the next Taka sale then! Cos now buy seems too early, by the time baby got to use become old pram liao lol.

tsm,
no lah, charliebrown and me are saying that our toddlers outgrow the pram liao. the miracle turn is a bonus, coz u can actually turn your pram 360degrees with ease one, very easy to use. but as a newborn, i think combi is really not bad, partly becoz i have not tried other brands, so u might want to hear more views from other mummies first

Bbkk: ya lo. My mum psycho me to get it. I guess I can only use it on other areas. Bo bian..
my detailed scan in on Christmas eve. Will we be able to make the result on the very day itself? Cos my gyne will be the one doing it for me.. Any idea??
Worried79: I am also very annoyed by the fact that need to wash. Like super sian. Probably I will use like half of it if baby Gt rashes due to wearing diapers. The other 6 will be on other areas.
Prams: I know nuts abt prams.. Thought wanna get maclaren brand.. Is it good?? Don't know should buy before baby comes out or after..

Shirley,
I used cloth nappies (those traditional type that need to fold) during daytime from my #1’s birth till 1 week after my CL left. I oso lined the nappies with disposable nappy liners so that its easier to clear the poo. Used about 6 to 10 nappies each day. The nappies needs to be changed once wet and its hard to remove the stains when they poo.. I feel that the tedious part for cloth nappies are frequent changing, washing and takes up a lot space when drying. I already cannot cope with taking care the baby, bf and housework (takes up too much time) that time so gave up on cloth nappies in the end.
On the other hand, cloth nappies are have other uses like folding it to make it a pillow for the baby, light blanket and swaddling (but she always break free from the swaddle)

Pram: actually my fren maybe passing pram to me which pass down from her fren too. But I am not sure abt the condition of it. Kind of like combi cos the handle can be flexible . Sorry I haven t do studies on pram yet , so I only know combi can do it. How abt maclaren?
shirley
i agree wif griny. maybe u can try it when your CL is around for the first month, then decide whether u want to carry on. first mth CL doing the washing, and when i noticed need to change so many times, plus the washing, not an easy job, thats why i gave up, rather use diapers lor

Nlimm,
I asked my CL if she is ok with cloth nappies, she agreed even though I can see her reluctant expression. I oso considered the use of utility bills but more of the hassle part, so switch to disposable instead. Daytime used cheaper brand like Pet Pet and huggies ultra for night time.
Prams:
I have 2 strollers currently. Both have its pros and cons.
1st one is Graco pram, passed down from my colleague, its not light weight, used it more frequently when my #1 was younger (since birth). Dunno whether its pass down, it seems like manoeuvring it is not no gd, I can feel some resistance when I turn left or right. But I like it bcos the wheels are quite big and its easy to go over humps and uneven roads. It does not turn over easily.
I bought a 2nd cheapo stroller called Seebaby from Qoo10 recently. Its super light weight that I can lift it with 1 hand, very easy to manoeuvre so gd for travelling to nearby places. However, it gd for older kids as it does not recline flat, cannot hang things on the handle as it will topple without a child and going on uneven paths can be harder due to small wheels.
For those have not got the pram, imo, there is no hurry to get it. U can buy it after your baby is born. Let your baby try on the pram whether he/she likes it or not den decide to buy the pram.
