I also heard that it is cos the baby will come out 'cleaner'? As in lesser of the mucus and all...
But in actual fact, i read that coconut water is packed with lots of minerals which assists in immunity building and infections fighting... At the same time, it is 0 cholesterol and fat free! So we should drink some!!!

Can choose anaesthetist? Din noe there's such option. How to choose?

Same concept if you have any PD you want. So if you know any anesthetist you want just let your gynae know. If not he will have to arrange for you.

SCBB only said, they will withdraw the blood and need to do the test before they bank in the cord blood. If the cord blood test failed, they will not bank in your blood cord and dispose it. They will inform me if my cord blood test is not suitable for bank in. But they will not inform me when they will use my cord blood after they bank in mine.

Got got got. .. I just bought an expensive packet from bugis. . But super nice color.. hahahaha... my area also dun have since many months ago.. even if have, the color is pale n doesn't seem appealing .. heard it's not the right season and that's why many places temporary close down. Durians are ultra pricy now but cannot control cravings.. hmm

They left out an impt piece of info. If a match is found for someone who needs it, it cost $30k-$35K to buy that bag of cord blood from SCBB.

I haven't book anything yet...I think upcoming appt, gynae will collect deposit ba....TMC hospital charges I refer to the TMC website only. I have not decided which hospital I am going to deliver in. The FBI membership I sign up is purely to get the Cordlife special package.
May I know the no. of years and how much u get for the cord blood package?

Thomson FBI eligible for offer rate for yearly, 10 years and 21 years.
21 years is $5500 subject to GST. Original rate is $6400 subject to GST.

Yups, like what @ PixiePosh said, u can inform ur gynae in advance. Why I wanted to choose my friends' anaesthetist was because my friend's wife had a bad experience with one anaesthetist. So I reckon I'm so scaredy cat that I wanted to make sure all is possibly well.....
QuietBell
Member
I see... I hope my gynae is open to more hospital options. As of now only Glene. And yup some of my friends delivering in tmc also took up their card for cordlife purpose. And opt for CDA payment which payable only after bb born. Convenient and hassle free.

Guess emergency csect is the one that costs more money.... Omg the cash outlay is scary....

Is it silly to give my friend a infant car seat as a baby shower gift?
They do not own a car and she will be traveling by public transport maybe cab I think. I'm just the paranoid kind so I thought I will buy her one to carry her NB in it like after discharge from hospi or bring lo for jabs? I thought she can then also fix it to her stroller and have a travel system?
Or just give ang bao but I know she won't buy a infant car seat then.. Hmmm..
She told me she would just hold baby in her arms and seatbelt herself.. Not sure if that is safe since parents with cars need to have infant and baby car seats by law..
Any thoughts mummies? What would you do if you travel by cab? How do you intend to keep NB safe and sound?

Do you know the kind of stroller she's getting?
I'm not sure if there's a travel system can be fixed onto a car seat without a base and is portable to be carried around. If you do, please let me know. Would like to get one too!

We dun own a car as well, and have been taking cabs to and fro. I dun tink the infant car seat law applies to cab rides? Correct me if im wrong, but we haven been stopped before. I thot those car seats which fit to strollers are part of the stroller itself, so you might wanna chk w your fren. But if i dun own a car, it would be quite a hassle lugging ard a stroller, baby barang barang plus a car seat.
Maybe a baby carrier might be more practical.

Issit normal to have painful butt? My left buttcheek is soooo painful. It has been painful for quite a while, but I just brush it off as normal and it has also been bearable as well. But for the past two days, it is just sooo painful that I can cry. Even just now, from kitchen to the living room, took me 5 minutes to reach. And now, sitting down to reposition my legs, and the butt will be painful as well. So tedious.
Issit something to be alarm? My next appt is on tues.

No don't need for cabs but it's just that she said she is not going to get a carrier either and will just carry baby in her arms and strap herself in.
I thought that was quite dangerous but I'm not sure either so wanted to get views.
As for stroller my other friend is getting for her so I'm not sure of the brand.
I was thinking of a britax or maxi cosi but if it's impractical then I wouldnt get her that.

Don't worry about it. Just yday I finish my bf class. LC said just keep calm and positive and don't need to look out for signs of any leaks before popping. Then after popping get baby to latch on even if no flow yet coz will help to stimulate milk to come in.
She said some ppl need to wait at least 3 days or more for milk to kick and not to worry.

Think you may have PGP, pelvic girdle pain. You read here first and check with your gynae as well..

Wow! Describe exactly what I am going thru. Will discuss more with my gynae abt it more on tues I suppose. As for now, just endure it a lil bit more! Have to restrict movement at the moment. Lucky things for baby are all done. Just waiting for the grand arrival. And I am basically shaking leg at home at the moment. Hehe...

My breast aso small, able to haf oversupply as long as every 3hrs latch or pump without fail especially first 3 mths its important to maintain or increase the supply...wen i back to work can afford to pump 4x a day. So no worries big or small jus preservance till the end! And aso theres medication IF REALLY less milk, but may not work for all. Only sad thing for me is after stopping bf, boobs downsize...
*sob*I used to buy pj for confinement, but during apr-june is EXTREMELY hot, den i wear oversize t shirt, long pants n socks, cos i din on a/c during confinement ... Sigh. This time round need 'pyscho' my mum abit...
