I'm not going for private cord blood banking too, but most likely will donate to the Singapore Cord Blood Bank for to save someone or research purposes and whatnots if I am eligible.

Hope they works for you.. Gynae prescribe steroid cream but dare not apply too much so tried a few brand cream and think by far baby oil works best for me on bump but not really other area that it spreads to.

That's wat the nurse told me also. She suggest donating coz at least if compatible other pp can give it a try.
She also commented that now the Singapore cord blood bank is still quite small, so if more pp donate will be better.

My sis donated also.. I know its quite a hassle, gotta arrange the person to meet u before you pop, then they gotta standby for collection when you pop. haha

You are talking about the process or how they store the cord?

Anyway I haven made a decision. haha
 
gammahedging said:
huhuhuhu... got a call from the clinic just now and asked me abt my OGTT, whether i was told to do it in view of my family history. so i explained that i was told to do it on my own and give the results during my appt.

Gave in to temptation yest and had carl's jr with soft drink.

Carl's Jr Iced Tea is awesome. Can add your own preferred amt of sugar, so in a way healthier if you add lesser sugar.

I share the same sentiment too.

I was also quite put off by the promoter when i was at TMC level 4 waiting to do my detailed scan...I was alrdy pissed with having to wait for so long despite having an appt, and she tried to do a sales pitch. One question though - why is TMC allowing this in their premises:? I never bothered to ask them cos I was also kinda put off at being told only then that i was over-charged for my oscar 8 wks ago.

Well, true to my progressively weakening self discipline, I had Hans curry chicken rice for lunch .... topped with one extra plan of omelette w fries :eek: Then after that I went to ya kun n had iced milo with kaya toast. :eek::eek::eek: This has completely negated the goodness of my breakfast, in fact I think this one lunch has negated any goodness I might have accumulated for the month. SUPER JIA LAT!!

Cordlife I think has a booth at the TMC reception thereabouts....

There was once they called me, then I just immediately said, "Did u check the DNC list?" Once they hear DNC, then they ended the call liao... Even though I have filled up the form when I sign up for FBI I specifically didn't tick the statement which state that I allow to be contacted by their sales rep... so by calling me, they have violated the regulations.

sunflower307 said:
I see.. then I shall ask my sis if lei chey anot.. haha
Click to expand...

It's not whether the process is leh chey, but whether you agree with the process. Some people may or may not agree with it, so make sure you do your own research for/against cord blood collection before making your decision.

I had a yummy spicy ramen with duck at bugis junction, but still hungry leh. Tea time I will eat the durian puff and chocolate fondant from beard papa, I think LO loves it. :D :p

Be aware that stretchmark cream helps for external skin only. The red or white veins resulted from lack of collagens. No matter how much stretchmark cream you apply, it will not help it.
 
I heard stretch marks are hereditary and genetic.
My mum and grandma didn't have stretch marks at all. End up i didn't have stretch marks too.
Didn't apply bio oil or any lotions to my tummy for the entire 9 months, only 白花油when i feel uncomfortable.

time to eat more bird nest !!!

Pregnant women and fetus
Bird's nest has found an important place in the nutritional supplement menu of pregnant women and many pregnant women consume bird's nest for replenishing nutrients. There is a belief among pregnant women that the consumption of bird's nest during pregnancy would result in the birth of a child with fair skin.

A famous Chinese physician and nutritionist, Yang Qi Kang said, “The complexion of the fetus becomes fairer and finer if pregnant women consumes bird's nest” and there is truth in this. Modern science has discovered that bird's nest contain unique biologically active protein molecules (known as collagen) which promotes regeneration of cells in the epidermis. Collagen also fortifies the immunity of cells and increase resistance of the human body towards harm caused by X-rays. This protein which has been absorbed by the human body is most abundant in bird's nest.

Bird's nest possesses excellent replenishment of blood function and its consumption during pregnancy not only removes freckles but it moisturizes the skin of both mother and fetus.

Zhang Yi was of the opinion that hospitals encourage the consumption of bird's nest by pregnant women. Bird's nest is a type of health product which is very beneficial to pregnant women. The collagen contained in bird's nest makes the skin of pregnant women fine and elastic.

The dosage of consumption of bird's nest should be determined by one's need and financial position. Pregnant women may take it on a daily basis or on alternate days. Some may choose to take it 2-3 times weekly, at around 5 grams each time.[\quote]
