nm, u hav a better chance at doing tht than me..keke.. u r so slim..
normal clothes probably cannot accomodate my tummy beyond 2nd tri...unless i wear maxi dresses all the time.
angela is quite accurate..i tink by the end of 12 weeks, my tummy will b 5 mths preggy size...its on the way now...keke..

Hi nm, wat us sth?
I was thinking if I really take 1 month no pay, then everyone will know what's happening and it will be added stress to my ivf journey cos everyone will want to know if I've bfp for my ivf..
So did anyone inform your boss that you are planning to do ivf?

leapgal,
if there's enough pcs i want to buy for myself i will usually order directly. join spree can be quite tedious also
become private spree organiser for bfp mummies here? can ah i dun mind. i did orgnanise a few sprees on this forum b4 but find it too time consuming.
Panda,
i would go with the same size u normally wear. cos maternity size already do give allowance for future expansions. whilst yr hips and chest/boobs will expand, they will not expand so much until u hv to go up one entire size. cos pants and tops are not skin fitting, u get what i mean? unlike bras where u hv to buy later cos they have to be a good fit at the chest and cup size.
the main part that will expand is the tummy, and maternity pants are either elastic which stretch or normal pants hv adjustable waistbands so u can keep adjusting as yr tummy gets bigger.
Gan,
the last time i did all my maternity clothes shopping at one shot at vivocity. i spent like $500 for a few basic pcs and that was essentially my entire maternity wardrobe liao.

Gan, yeah.. its like we only wear them for less than a yr... bt hor, if u can wear them again for number 2, hehe..more worthwhile mah...
i most likely will close shop after this round.. cannot imagine going thru another round of bad MS... hb oso feels tht way.... so i try to recycle from the hand me downs as much as possible.
bt my gf oso slimmer size...so her bottoms are abit challenging for me..keke.. i need to probably get some casual bottoms...things tht she can wear full term will bust on me earlier.

nm,
chicken essence no big deal lah, can drink as often as u like. i love the taste of chicken essence, grew up drinking it
if u want to or can afford it, can drink one everyday, or alternate days, or every 2-3 days one. really up to u. sometimes when i'm very tired i'll even drink 2 bottles

nm, haha..my mum already collected bags of cloth diapers from her fren liao.. she says go out then wear disposable ones.. at home wear cloth ones.
u putting baby in ur bed or mattress on the floor?
we wanna get cot coz hb wants to train the babies to sleep in their own beds ... he says strictly no sleeping in our bed...but for a start, will just get 1 cot for 3 of them.. and my gf giving me a playpen.. so will see how long these two can sustain...
grumpus, sounds like spring maternity not so expensive... maybe can go check them out.. my gf already has their discount card..so will ask her to pass over..keke...
the baby wear place at balestier..my fren says they are supplier of babywear...bt we can walk in to buy for own use as well....

nm, angela says to take the home brew chicken essence.. black or kampung chix..smash the bones and double boil it.
its the best source of calcium...impt esp if we are carrying multiples.
i take it 2-3 times a week now. i asked her about the bottled chix essence, she says tht one can take..bt doesnt serve the purpose of supplying calcium.

grumpus, actually i m prepared to use disposable ones...coz worried my babysitting team cannot handle all the washing when i go back to work.. bt my mum already decided.. hehehe.. so i will go along with it. i tink we need to buy another washing machine...one might not be enuff! hahaha...
ask u...do u wash ur baby clothings using the same washing machine?
haha.. thts the point..if we never allow them to sleep on our bed, they will not want to do it... 3 babies how to fit into our bed..hahaha.. so to b fair, we hv to train all to sleep in their own beds ... my gf let her bb boy sleep in her bed..and when she wanted to train him to sleep in his own bed, she ended up with screaming toddler every night... PD says its habit liao...need to take time to change it....she is still strugging with it now...

nm,
got to buy nappy liners to line each nappy. if big business the liner will catch most of the stuff, just take and throw. there'll be some yellow stains left on the nappy but that one u soak little while and scrub will come out very easily.
Gan,
ONZ! i used to meet up with another mummy at bishan too. but then she went back to work then no time to meet up liao.
i love chicken essence, when i was in school, during exam time there'll always be one bottle waiting for me at breakfast. i think it's one of those either u love it or hate it. my hb HATES it, die die also won't drink one. but never mind lah, means more for me

Panda,
haha, if yr mum wants to do then let her lor. if she can't cope then u can suggest disposables. i hv a gf who had natural triplets. she say she buy diapers and milk powder in bulk one. every wk hv to go jb and stock up in cartons.
i do wash my bb clothes in the same washing machine, but different load lah, and i use bb detergent instead of regular detergent. i also wash bb clothes and nappies separately. so last time everyday my washing machine is almost running the whole day. but old ppl will say cannot, must hand wash separately
hehe, u know my girl, from day 1 she sleep in her own cot, i never let her sleep with me. from abt 6 months, she started eh eh eh every 1-2 hrs, poor me was going up and down trying to figure out what she needs. then i found that if i put her beside me in bed, she goes right back to sleep! so she end up sleeping with me. she sleep with me until abt 2 yrs old then i trained her to sleep on her own bed. now she sleep on a mattress on the floor beside my bed.
