Revel, I find its a reference for PD to easily explain things to us as well. My #1 growth since birth is usually in the 75th percentile for weight and height. But recent checkup for his height remain in the 75th but weight drop to 50th percentile so Doc asking if he is eating well. To be honest I didn't really look into his diet to me he is growing pretty well, becos of this I investigate what wrong and found that he dislike drinking milk so I have to source for flavored milk for him to entice him to drink up!
The detailed scan sound really exciting, I can't wait to know how my baby is doing too - which percentile is he in, what is his weight like?
My detailed scan is scheduled next week and I am counting down the days to it.
I've gained 6kg plus at week 20. I am rather worried if I am gaining too much weight though my gynae didn't mention anything about it. I have sweet food craving for ice-cream, chocolates, sugared drinks which I do give in too and I have not been exercising since I found out I am pregnant. Feeling very unhealthy these days.

For my second child, I never recovered. I was coughing throughout and got well only during confinement period. At 32 weeks, my #2 was too sick and his movement was minimal. Movements are good indicator. We need to feel the child moves at least 10 to 20 times a day. As long as your child is moving well, you should not worry

We did detailed scanning yesterday. All is good. Baby #3 is now average in growth instead of being on the top percentile of growth in first trimester. I'm told to put on 10kg more, about 500g per week. We have officially started on gynea antenatal care package!
Hubby and I went to Baby Hypermart and Baby Kingdom yesterday after the checkup at Thomson. We ate upsize wanton mee x 2 plus 1 nowl of dumpling soup (at $9 only!!!). It is the coffeeshop at the other end. There's a muslim stall that sells fat crunchy chicken and A1 curry puffs. I bought 2 cheese pancakes as afternoon snacks during the shopping.
At Baby Hypermart
We bought a new cot $4XX and a mattress upgrade ($1xx instead of $3xx). We alao bought a Peg Pegro pram 2016 design with infant car seat plus tray $12XX (We got a first customer discount of $200). We also bought some pram toy attachment cos they are going at a discounted price from $4 to $8 (instead of $20 each at Thomson Medical Centre).
At Baby Kingdom,
Bought also 2 sets of Avent Single pump (electric) $188 with 4 free bottles (promotion). It's cheaper than buying 1 dual at $4XX with no free bottles. We also gained some free redemption vouchers and new pots. Pigeon has good promotion for wet tissue if you order by carton. We bought 20 NUK glass bottles with the brown teats (it's the cheapest for glass bottles). I'm now collecting lots of glass bottle jars to freeze breast milk. Based on history, I used to collect 28 ounces first pump every morning. If I don't pump, I'll get engorgement and fever So
We also bought an on sale display fridge ($4xx instead of $6xx) at Courts to store the EBM. The second fridge will be a fruits and milk only. It's in our bedroom.
It's more productive to take leave to buy most items as the sales staff at both places have more time to explain the product. Plus no waiting for service. No paying queue. We were happy!
I've yet to buy baby bath toiletries and laundry stuff. As I think my new maid won't understand the difference.
Where do you mummies buy confinement bath herbs and tummy belt? I need one to hold the tummy after the C section as I won't be taking painkillers.

Hi all,
I am due 6th Jul and i just went for week 20 scan and was told of some discrepancy in the heart chambers. Apparently, the pulmonary is larger than aorta, they by right should be the same size. Today, i went for a consultant with a specialist in TMC and was confirmed that a pediatric cardiologist is required to perform heart scan after delivery.
Good news out of bad news is, doc said surgery is not required. Not sure what it means to bb's health and medicial costs moving forward yet.
Anyone faces same concerns before?

Busy busy Mrs Ler. I'm actually waiting for my new house to be completed. Reno n stuff. Will take 2-3weeks max. Then I will start to buy and stuff the new clean place with baby items.
Karamama, not sure how relevant this thread can be on your concerns. Maybe there's an existing thread here where more info can be found. I wish all will be well with you and your bb.

Is a bottle warmer recommended for warming ebm? I didn't get one previously, and my friend was suggesting that it's a good buy. I couldn't rem why i didn't get it before, but vaguely i think i read somewhere that it could overheat the milk and destroy the nutrients. Can anyone share?

Hi Fellow Mummy to Be,
Congratulations!
How is your experience with Dr Kek as a first time mummy so far?
I read that she is very nice but don't talk a lot. Does she able to provide you all the guidance and advice you need?

Hi welcome and congrats!
Yes there is a Fb grp.. But I'm not the one to add.. =p
For me it's my #2 due in July 7.
Regarding Pilates. Yes its recommended to take up as it trains your core muscles which are important during and after your pregnancy journey. Take it slow if you haven't done Pilates before but pre-natal pilates sequences are generally well suited for pregnant moms. Google Options Studio for their classes. Joanne Peh goes there for her pregnancy Pilates.
What other queries you have please feel free to ask here!

The CL can go do the marketing during the confinement. First few rounds probably someone from the family have to bring her to show her where the nearest market or supermarket is located. But subsequently I'm sure she will go on her own.
Ok thanks!
Yea verluv, don't worry. My doc didn't even tell me my baby's wt. Can eat cheese cubes also, more calcium!
Your old pump is not working anymore?
Tks!!..was kind of desperate to hear how others cope with unexpected results. Jul's mummies would probably have done their week 20 scan, was wondering if anyone has similar experience, pls share with me if any. Yah, searching for info on other thread too. Tks Redvel for your advice!!

Hi everyone!
Hope that everyone is doing good.
Been busy the whole of Feb and don't have much time to follow all the message.
Just went for my gynae check early this week, not sure of my bb weight as I didn't ask.
Just know that she is 14cm now and head size matches with the number of week I'm in (19th).
My detail scan is mid of March and hope that everything is fine with my gal.
Have a great week ahead everyone!!

I have mild GD and doc says I should be ok if I watch my diet. Now every visit I need to be pricked for blood test.
Yesterday ate my "last" dessert of tau suan before I start to lessen "sweet" stuff like white rice/ noodle / bread. I didn't know root veg is also no good for GD. I especially love sweet potato and fries.

Thanks verluv. Just need some adjustment on diet I guess. Doc recommends me to eat this Wasa brand crispbread when I crave for carbo. I'm a all bread queen but like those refined flour kind so need to cut down.
Yes my kicks are getting more too. Mine can kick anytime in the wee hours when I sleep. But actually they do not recognize day and night at this point.

Redvel - is wholemeal bread ok or you need to cut down all kinds of bread?
Hey it's true that bb doesn't recognize day and night. I couldn't believe that in the middle of the night sometimes I wake up to pee or to take care of 2nd one, my bb in the tummy is kicking me!
I can feel my bb movement more and more though she is small in size, she is really active in the nite. I'm wondering if it's cos I'm too busy in the day or she juZ simply loves listening to my voice and sleeping in the day!

Mine tosses just like yours, 11pm baby will start Taiji and Somersaulting. No way to fall asleep peacefully. I'm having gastric now, making my body feeling very weak, as if it's affecting my tummy to feel weird too. Any quick relieve method?
Thank you! How should i go about requesting to join the facebook? Any idea?
Okay thanks for the link up!
I'm in my 20th wk. Vomiting is only very occasional for me now. Last episode was abt 2 wks back. Hang in there.
I'm at 19 weeks now and I'm also getting occasional vomiting. I will be cautious with what I eat though so that the morning sickness can be gone for good. Jia you!

@Chloe Li I find diaper bags bulky but good if you need the compartments for bottles etc. When I was breastfeeding, i merely use a Cath Kidston (this style: http://www.cathkidston.com/cross-body-bags/clarendon-rose-mini-reversible-messenger-bag-1018033) bag that my hubby got me. It was small and convenient and light coz all I needed was some handkerchiefs, wet wipes, nursing cover, diaper changer and disapers.
After the nursing phase, a diaper bag was more needed for long trips out to hold her food, bottles etc. For guys, you can try "Diaper Dude", it's more manly.

Lol I never thought about a diaper bag for men-carry. Why I never thought of that? Always thought of one that matchy the baby (like got pink flowers or blue aero plane). But tbh I think hubby will be the one carrying the bag more than mummy. I'm super keen to getting one for him (at least maybe he will feel more paternal/happier carrying one). Thanks for the introduction MistyCloud!

Whenever I have gastric I will take antacid or omniprezole. Sometimes I tried eating some mint sweet.
How come u have gastric? Not eating well? Or too busy to eat? Or trying to keep slim? Must eat else bb small small like mine
I don't go on diet, I'm eating well just suddenly in just acts up and last me almost half the day. Uncertain of the reason as well, tried taking warm water but isn't helping.
I'm going for my detailed scan this Friday, hoping baby will be "longer" than his/her mommy and daddy height ratio (hahaha, both very short). And finally I will get to know if I'm on the pink or blue team, easier for me to get baby stuffs on Friday Suntec baby fair

@MistyCloud Thank you so much for sharing! This is the first I heard of Diaper dude and now the daddies have no excuse not to carry 'girly' bags haha.

Thanks Chloe.
Don't worry emk, I'm sure you will feel it real soon. If this is your no.1 maybe it's juz take a longer while to feel it.
Taking Abt diaper bag, I never had one. All I had is a big big bag and dump everything inside. Save cost haha .
I dun have vomiting for this pregnancy. Rem I vomited twice during this preggy only.
