Those interested to get MacLaren strollers can check out this BP. I got a MacLaren stoller from the BP organized by one of the mummies. The price is 25% less than retail price and it came with freebies like organizer, front bar & etc.

hi ltjabi,
starting you try to latch on first. If unable to do so, then can get the pump. As your hubby will start buying after you deliver so you can indicate the price and brand for him to buy.
hi bee,
heard there is a taka fair in aug.
hi juju,
thanks for your detail info. Oh yes, giant supermarket has nice selection of bb clothings.

I've been to Kidsloft. They are having offers on Strollers and car seats. If you have AA card, there's further discounts. Hubbi and I are shopping for car seats and it seems those sold there are reasonable and meet our needs. Can check it out.

my mil did mine & boiled the herbs before giving me, wif the water boiling hot. of cos, i mixed wif cold water on the sly so dat i dun scald my own skin

hi bee,
i bought the herbal shower pack from moms in this forum. Just post in the want to buy thread. They sell it cheaper than the medical hall and can send via post. Do check with them the expiry date before buying.
hi ltjabi,
baby cot will cost around the price of mother care one. Do remember to buy cot protector so that baby legs will not get stuck on the side of the cot.

Hi all MTB,
Currently I am pregnant with twins and I am at week 17+ . I tend to feel that skin around my tummy can rather tight especially after meal and at night . This has been continued for the last few weeks. Not sure if this is due to the stretching? I still tend to vomit quite a bit from time to time. Please advise. I will only be seeing dr end of the month. Thank you.

juju, mil will be doing confinement but there are some issues/details which we hv yet to settle
oh, must boil the herbs ah! hmm... is there something that's more convenient to use, like in bottle form?
itjabi,
depending on where u want ur bb to sleep. for my friend, like juju, their bb sleeps with them so they got a playpen instead. if u plan to let bb sleep by herself, it is more worthwhile to invest in a 4-1 cot which can be converted to a bed for upto 4 years old kid and a playpen. Taka has one at $359... heehee, i am still waiting for sales / baby fair to buy the cot.

bee,
there's no-rinse shampoo & bath foam. i still hv balance, can sell u cheap.
mil do for u - better to settle everything beforehand. hubby nvr tell me, when i pop, mil come visit in kk, then i noe she's doing for me. i wanted to do myself.
end up, i almost kena pnd, almost ran away wif bb.

ju,
wah, sounded serious! but how to do urself, i meant the washing and cooking itself can kill... unless u hv domestic help and catered food.
mil keen to help but without staying over, i am fine with tt. but recently, she suggested i do it over at her pl and she will let us hv their room while they sleep in the living room.. easier for her. but i think i will be very uncomfortable lor to take over their room, then no privacy and plus my 3 sil are still staying there.. then got to bring everything (cot, my daily essential, bb stuff, hubby daily essential) over for tt one month... i think i will kena pnd too
oh great, supply enough for a month hor. my friend bot me a organic shampoo (i think). let me check and revert tmr. thanks

bee,
i was prepared to either light-cook or pack frm downstairs. i wun be doing full confinement anyway, i enjoy my independence.
washing can be done via washing machine. the rest hubby can do. my mum also volunteered to come help out once in a while (which is better than facing a 3rd party nagging at me 24/7, be it mil or mum lor)
hmm... if u r very close wif ur mil, shld be ok staying at their place la. she stay far frm u? u discuss wif ur hubby first bah... unless ur mum can do confinement for u.
shampoo not very enuff. body foam is almost full. depends on how often u use bah... also depend on how often ur mil let u wash. it's still liquid base so she may pantang.

Hi bee,
me too my mil said she will do confinement for me. But then recently, my fil said go over to their place to do confinement. I rejected cos my 2 sils are living with them. 1 sil got 2 kids, very crowded and I have to share room with pil. I not comfortable, my fil said they can sleep in living room too. they said if they go over nobody will care take the 2 kids. I rejected them and suggest they cook food for me and bring over to my place. I will take care of bb.

ya, tt's what i think too, very crowded and inconvenient to bring so many things over. hv told hb tt i prefer to stay at our pl but hv no conveyed to mil. i supposed mil can send the food over to me via cab. she stay nearby, abt 10-15mins walk... my mum too old to do for me. like ju, i also dun like people to nag at me so i am prepared to take care of bb myself. worst case is to cater confinement food lor. bb washing can leave it to my hb to do at night. heehee

Hi all,
Just had my OSCAR scan today. So happy everything went well for now. Gotta wait for BT result and determine the final risk ratio...
The dr refused to scan for the gender for me though I asked him twice... He said that's not impt... also true lah... as long as bb healthy, boy or gal doesnt matter.

hi ladies... i am back from batam, safe and well!
thanks all for the concerns!
Serene, Dr can only confirm the bb gender at week 16. week 12 a bit hard to see. some gynae may try to look for the "diamond" though... like what my gynae did
Itjabi, i will be going shopping later.. probably at Kaki Bukit. ya, depends on individual bb, but i guess can be "trained" too. our plan is to let bb sleep by himself in the cot in his own room so tt we could still hv some private time

Finally, i bot the baby cot and combi pram at baby Kingdom... hmm... bb stuff not cheap leh!! about durian, 2nd tri is fine... all my friends encouraged me to eat durian, they said very "nutritious". i ate one seed only thusfar cos i scare heaty
Lina - yeah, my good friend gave me her bb monitor... my house not tt big la, so shd be able to hear the bb even at the kitchen
