Then when I clear my nose, another huge puddle. Then blood start flowing freely... Gt to use tissue to stop. Think need to see GP or Juz too heaty?

My car width wider ... My Hb bought this car just because of the width lol

Ya ... That's what I think so ... But I think Gynae will want me to go deliver next week cos I natural . This week bb weigh already 3.2kg .. Dun think he will let the weight go up too high

I'm using xplory .. I love it so much .. The price ouch ... But I find that it's really closer contact to me and my girls love it ..

Now my Hb ask me to sell the stroller cheap cheap and buy new one ... Lol I told him who want to buy ? He says cheap la ... Few hundred can Liao ... Cos he's looking at the new xplory lol

Still remember when I insisted to buy years back , he's so reluctant due to the price . But after using it .. He also soooo in love with it .

If you've decided to sell your xplory stroller, let me know. I may be interested, esp if can use from newborn. :)

Nice and helpful Hb you have .. He always travel to Aussie ?

Gaia very cheap in Aussie ... I just bought 4 bottles ... Maybe will get more ... I like the products ... Even the adult series also Kekeke

Japan diaper is cheaper

Now I can start to eat happily Liao .. Cos bb est weigh is 3.2kg most likely Gynae will catch me to go give birth next week and I'm dilated 2cm already ... Now going to drink my coconut drink at east coast park before next week arrives ...

Hubby just finished his PhD studies in Australia and we have substantial investment business going on there that needs us to go there quite often. If you want to buy GAIA from Australia, you can tong pang from my hubby when he goes there in end Dec. :)

I like the Korean diaper brand Bosomi.

Lucky you!!! My baby may not reach 3kg at all due to my small size. Not big enough I worry he's too fragile, but too big I worry will be a difficult labour. :(

Are you in Jan mummies facebook? There is a mummy doing spree for Ralph Lauren now :p fyi..
Click to expand...

Celeste is doing the spree on FB right? I'm trying to decide whether to go with Celeste or with Rkmum on this forum. Any advice? Seems like Rkmum orders super fast but it's easier to communicate with Celeste since she'll reply directly on FB.

Last night I was checking out the sale items on RL and within a span of an hour or two, some of the items I want to buy already kena sold out or out of stock!!!! Americans (or Singaporeans on sprees?) can be very kiasu too! Hence my hurry in case more items disappear.

I have nosebleed too.. but I am taking aspirin n Clexane, so this can happen. sometimes takes around 10-15mins to stop.. if it doesn't stop plz go see doc, or if it is too frequent.

due to your petite size ..if 3 kg and above you likely ended up with C sect you know ..cos your body build not big enuff to cater for such big bb...

I have not try the bosomi diaper yet . If it's good and cheaper in Korea , will ask Hb to get there when he is in Korea .. Now he stocked up merries for me, will buy 1-2 packets when he is in Japan .. Wanted to get moony, he says more ex ( more ex does not mean more ex than sg .. But more ex than merries .. He's calculating more than me lol )

Have to see your size . Good to have bb more than 3kg so easier to take care, but have to see case by case . If you petite size and going by c'sean then Okie .. Some mummies they dun mind to try natural with petite size too .. Have gf small size give natural with 3.82kg bb .. I was like "wow!!"

Maybe can check with Gynae ? Who will be able to give you better advise ?

yah really wow ..petite size 3.82kg bb ..power...

no wonder ...6 seater car ... normal sedan only 5 seats but technically speaking is 4.5 seats cos the centre back seat quite small not a full size seat
and child seat easily occupy the whole size liao ..even booster seat also take 1 adult seat ... sometime i wonder how pple can squeeze 2 full child seat ..a maid and 2 adult in a sedan car.. the maid must be really slim lor ..else who to sit in the middle seat

these confinement lady very SMART one .. they know how to cook their own food... some when do marketing will buy their favourite food and ask you to pay for it
so they dun necessarily eat your confinement food ..
you dun spoilt market give them additional money leh

my last confinement lady ..sometime she cook her normal food and sometime she eat confinement food with me ... see her mood
 
GetawayJunkie said:
You can ask her to buy her own tickets and then you reimburse her later on? But if she never ask me to pay her for the bus tickets, I wouldn't offer to reimburse. :p
Click to expand...
it is not market practice for us to pay ticket woh

btw have you all apply work permit for your CL ?
 
GetawayJunkie said:
Ya lor, that's why don't spoil market. She never ask, I won't bother. I will just give her the 2 AP. Anyway, she also mentioned about the start work/finish work AP, never mention about bus ticket etc.
Click to expand...

Your CL super on leh, my CL never mention any of these, guess it is still a bit early. I might call her sometime in December to ask her what to prepare, cuz she say I can prepare beforehand, or she will just buy when she comes to Singapore.

My CL rate is $2,500, but depending on when I deliver, she will need to leave by 17/2. I told her that as long as she works at least 3 weeks before 17/2 I will give her the full $2,500, otherwise, it will be pro-rated. That's why I hope my bb come out one week early (my EDD is 23/1), so that I can get my $$ worth. :p

I bought Bosomi at Baby's Market at a discount, about 22 cents per piece for newborn diaper. Bosomi sells in Marine Parade (they didn't say exactly where) and NTUC Bukit Timah.

Every visit, gynae does the scan to monitor the bb's weight and the position of the placenta to see if natural birth is possible. She says she will scan my cervix later down the road too. Maybe she's confident the bb will not exceed 3kg hence she's closely monitoring re: the natural birth possibility. Power to your gf to be able to grow and give birth to 3.82kg bb!!! Miracles are possible, haha!

Rkmum has convenient (for me) pick-up venues in the West, while Celeste hasn't said. I've just asked her.

Well in this way I'm glad I'm expecting a boy. If it's a girl, I will not be able to control buying her all those pretty dresses and then it will be world war between me and hubby, lolol.
