Monmav, I added u on fb. Can add me to the fb group?

For preparation, I've yet to prepare the baby room as now my older child is using it. It is technically his bedroom. We will shift him over co share bed with hubby & me again, and give up the bedroom for baby and my mom who will be moving over for time being to help take care of newborn.

I'm also considering whether to buy a new cot for baby or a moses basket or a rocking cot. My older child's cot is a second one and its very bulky and old so I'm thinking of giving away and buying a smaller one for new baby.

My friend gave me big bags of girl's clothes! I'm now sorting them out. A lot I'm not keeping but giving away. If u know any low income or needy family who needs baby clothes, let me know or I'll be sending them to Salvation army.

I kept my older child's ultra scan pictures, photos taken every month, hair from first shave and his dropped out belly cord to keep in a scrapbook album. Will be doing so for my second one, so just now went to buy scrapbook items. Haha.
 


Other than #1 bb cot & stroller can re-use, I need to get carseat for #2, bed for #1, chest of drawers for #2. End up spending as much as preparing for first child! I only save on breastpump tho need to get new bottles.

Lyra: maybe get new smaller cot? Can use longer time compared to Moses basket. I donated my #1 old clothes to Salvation Army. Those newer pieces I keep for frds/relatives in future. SMH & Buzzy got people ask for clothes n other bb stuff blessing but duno genuine or not coz Buzzy got some take blessed items to sell for profit. So I rather donate to Salvation Army.

Wah, u very hardworking n creative! I just dump all into a file. Too lazy to do scapebook. I've a babyprints memory book to record baby milestone, events etc. Still kept in storeroom after 16mths ;)
 
Usaginoko haha coz I love doing all these art n craft stuff. I was an art student once. Makes me happy to do it for my kids n I imagine showing it to their future girlfriend/boyfriend or my future grandchildren... Daydreaming too much haha
 
i have a scrapbook too.. but hor.. super outdated la. i kept the stuffs but havent put in yet. the last time i updated was just before my OSCAR scan! lol.
 
oh no.. i have not prepared anything for baby yet :X the only thing i did so far is bought some cute baby clothes from carter online.. hahaha
 
I went to the Robinson sale quite late last night and no more Ameda pumps :-( Looks like I'll have to go for the 20% then...

I'm starting to pick up all those baby stuff from my aunt which my cousin can't wear anymore. Tsk... my cousin and my kid will be only 2 yrs apart... but house is like a storeroom now since I'm staying at my in-laws... with 2 playpens and 1 cot and loads of clothes lying everywhere... what a mess!
 
Hi mummies. Just when for detail scan! Not a good news! Fluid is way below range. Sonographer can't see the body structures of the baby due to the low amt of fluid. I was advised to bed rest n reschedule with the fetal specialist Monday! Good news that the heart beat is strong, there's nothing we can do for the fluid to increase. I can only rest and hope that baby will be able to have enough fluid......
I'm so worry.... I'm scare to loose my baby!' How to think positive?????
 
Thanks, Monmav! How do I find the group? Fb didn't send me a notification. Is it bcoz I need to search for it?
 
Yuki, drink more water. Drink lots of liquid! I dunno if its true but some mothers tell me by doing that, amniotic fluid can increase. Talk to ur baby n stay positive!
 
Yes stay positive rest a lot and drink plenty of water!! I also have placenta previa and am staying positive and hoping things will turn out fine!

Yuki, continue to be positive. Drink more water. I do heard of cases the amniotic fluid increases as we progress.
 
Remember babyS said she drank 3L a day? Hahaha just try to drink loads! I think at first when you know about it, you will be worried and think of all the what ifs. I did! And googled a lot, read a lot and then will feel scared. But well just got to learn to deal w it and take good care of yourself and it will get better

stay positive, consult your gynae on what else you can do, and talk to your baby everyday. It always helps to feel more relaxed rather than worried / stressed !
 
Hi Lyra should have notifications from fb...in the group you are a member already, wanna check your notifications again....the group is aug'13 smh.....

Monmav, yeah! I saw the group! Thanks!

Very heartache, mummies... My 18 month old older child suddenly has swollen penis with yellowish pus. So worried when I found out yesterday evening. Lucky clinic is still open for half day today. Bringing him to see PD soon. Anyone has experience with this problem for your older child?
 
Just drink drink drink! 3L is ok, dont need to worry abt water intoxification.. And lying on ur left side helps with circulation, at least that helps even if the fluid is nt enuf..

And its hard not to think of the what ifs, esp when we can easily search for info on the iternet.. Just focus on drinking and baby to grow well.
 
Madeleine: I bought Medela swing maxi. Are u in our fb group? We have had a few discussions on breast pumps already there
happy.gif
 
Does that mean Medela Swing Maxi is a complete replacement for PISA? Therefore PISA is already obsolete? Oh no, I've already asked someone to buy PISA from USA already, maybe i should change to swing maxi now...

Amanda, does your swing maxi comes with a tote bag?
 
Hi all. Thx for the advice n been doing bed resting and drinking tons of water. Gynae called today said need to do detail scan for baby body structures on mon for better judgement.
But he told me high possibility that the fetus might have severe problem. I'm hoping his comment is wrong as his was reported by the sonography from the hospital. Hoping that the specialist can have better news on Monday. These two days are the longest in my life!!!!
 
Yuki, continue to be positive and talk to your bb. Since havent really scan to see your bb, what your Gynae said is still not confirmed.
 
Hi yuki, please stay positive. Drink plenty of water as amniotic fluid will increase if we drink more water.. hopefully everything turn out to b fine during ur monday scan.
 
Lyra, wat did e pd say abt ur son penis? Anything to do wif fore skin infection? Hav u heard of circmucison? All along i tot oni guys do it for religion purpose. But my hub told mi is for hygiene purpose. He had suggested the idea to mi when my son was few mths old. But i cant bear to make my son suffer. Now my son already 6 years plus. I think if he had no issue wif his penis, i will not bring him for circumcise.
 
Serene, seen PD today. Thank goodness its just skin surface infection, no fever, so he does not need antibiotic. Yes, its foreskin infection. The pus has stopped and swelling reduced.

I researched about circumcision and saw pictures of it online. Looks terribly painful and the grown up results is erm... not very nice looking... I don't think I'll do that to my son unless he really needs it. Doc didn't recommend too. He says its only necessary if infection is recurrent. For hygiene, we need to retract the foreskin a bit and wash cleanly during showers. He said abrasion when kids play kiddy rides and rides at playground can also cause the infection. I didn't know that!
 
Hi mummies,

Lyra, my boy often gets pain in his penis too. He needs to pull back the foreskin to wash it properly otherwise will have this problem. Not sure if wanna circumcise him too.. But it can happen quite often..

Yuki, stay positive. Everything will be alright. Talk to baby, sing to baby and ask baby to jia you!
 
Yuki jia you!! Think positive n drink more water. Dr Loke always say it more serious than it is I feel. He also always say I need go hospital for my BP. Jia you!!!
 
Melissa, BP still not so stable I feel. Sometimes go very high so must really control diet. But when I measure at the clinic and at home is always different. The clinic one is always higher by alot so not sure which one is accurate.
 
Zhaqqie, my reading is also higher when I measure it at the clinic. Doc says to follow my home reading. U still working? Thinking of getting gynae to give me HL from 3rd tri onwards as work stress can also lead to higher reading.
 
Hi. Anyone looking for good confinement lady?
I have a kind, honest, caring confinement lady to recommend.
Please pm me. Thanks.

She cooks healthy confinement meals and experienced.
 
Melissa teo: gynae will give HL for us to rest at home even we are fit for work? I feel so tired whenever I work. Long working hours and I can't stand or walk too much. Legs start to feel sore easily. My job always knock off around 8plus 9plus.
 


Serene Ng: For my case becos I'm suffering from high BP thus the doctors r very worried that it will need to pre-eclampsia which is life threatening. So I guess if I'm really feeling too stressed up at work, I will just feedback to my gynae n let her decide. Watever u r feeling, just let your gynae know n let them make the best decision for u.
