I'm at kkh now.... Seems like there's no more visitor restrictions.
Hazel,
mention abt names, I m really upset. My in law gave me just 1 name for my son, just like the last time. They told me there are 5 names but when I ask to see the rest of the names, I was told no such list exist. However I can give any name to my daughter.
As the mother of my babies, I should have the right to choose their names.

Thanks ladies.. But I will only get to c him next wed.. Duno if my bbies can wait till then or not.
My concern is that if I choose class b2 or c, dr loh won't b the one delivering for n it will b a mo on duty who I dun have much confidence in it. So was thinking if can choose b1 first then if bbies need icu then downgrade them?

Hazel,
I went to my usual GP for my cold and cough. I requested for the senior resident doc who is more experienced. Make sure you tell them you are pregnant.
The meds will be very mild though. Have to take for a very long time before you can recover.
You can google the meds before you take just to be sure.

Lina, thanks!

I m Not taking the medicine.. The old doc said is not necessary to take medicine If i dun wan to, since I dun hv fever... Just lots of rest n water..
He quite kapo asked me if I started exercising,.. I said I waiting for my gynae to clear me to go to the pool.. His views were dun swim though cervix is closed coz he said we nv know if the water is clean... He said walking is the best form of exercise for pregnant ladies

Girls, yesterday i took a walk after dinner to nearby shops and i literally could not continue after 10-15 mins. the strain was so bad around my lower pelvic area.. i think i'm carrying too much weight in my belly..Had to sit a while before going back. No more walks for me!
Singapoh, ya i remember urs....So far, my experiences with my GPs are okay. I have asked Dr Loh before about takin med from GP. Then I was in 18th wk? And he said something that baby already in a stable stage that those mild medication will not be harmful to him. But nevertheless, I'm still v careful with my med intakes, will double or triple confirm with the GP and aso while getting the med at the counter
Spiffy, yes, v easy quiz..U r looking for a maid too?

Singapoh, ya true too..the last co GP I went to, the nurses were tellin me not to take the med unless necessary..
Hazel, every weekday morning, I spent ard 15 minutes to walk to the mrt station for work. I took the bus during tri 1 coz of MS, but once it has gone away, i started walking as a form of exercise....

soon-to-be, haven't decided yet but i dont think i can deal with being responsible for a 3rd human being right now..
And yes! i agree with sleeping body aches..PLUS each side i lie, the baby on that side will 'protest' it seems, and wiggle around a lot.
Hazel, how long is your journey to work? i hope you get a seat on the mrt?
yumyum, your mother's right. buy 0-3 months..they'll grow into them. you mean there are premies clothes? must be tiny!

Spiffy, dun take too long to decide hor...coz we are 3-4 mths away from receiving our little ones??? Must still go thru the procedure of selection and training your new helper if u r getting 1...
My hubby got his ex staff to shop for babies clothes in the US. Think we will get supply up to 1 year old since they r so cheap there..furthermore, there are always colleagues traveling there, so I m not worried abt clothes for my boy. Anyway, will b goin to the taka baby fair to buy the missing items....I was standing outside the fair last year, and messaging my hubby asking him when will it be our turn to visit the baby fair....8) To think I'm going to be there this year!!!!!

spiffy, i oso dun want to buy small clothes. i hope my bbs all big big. called up mothercare n only kkh branch has premies clothes.
babyj, you have the great eastern insurance for bbs? i am quite manja+clumsy whale and need hubby with me when i deliver so high possibility i pick A class. if i deliver any earlier than 32 weeks, i pick b1. do we need to decide now or upon admission? hope i am lucid enuf then to choose. otherwise, think dh do the choosing.
cannot find disposables that i can fit in. watsons and kiddy palace both too small.
anyone knows where to get XXXXL disposable panties?

Hi yumyum,
I posted my babies photo b4 in the Dec achive.
For those who are deciding your ward. My advise is go for the lower class first. It is easier to upgrade than downgrade. Downgrade is subjected to means testing. I was told by the nurse sometimes you wait until discharge, there is still no bed available for B class.
Fo me, I opted for B1 initially for fear that babies will be born prematurely. Since I managed to hold my pregnancy to week 38, on the day of delivery I asked to be upgraded to A class.

Nctgrace, u can try telling her tt.. The other time she asked me to copy her, so she can print the email n show dr loh as he may not be free to log on....
Cactus is right, to down grade after admission has to go through mean testing n takes time n may not qualify for downgrade also.. I already shared that in my earlier posts.. But seem tt is not convincing enough..

Wow..you ladies are fast! I haven't thought of any name for my twins yet but more anxious to know the gender in my next appt with Dr. Loh.
I will engage a confinement lady after i deliver. After which, I'll be getting a maid to help my MIL look after my twins at home. As it takes time to train a maid, not sure if by the time i go back to work, she's able to handle the hsework and help my MIL with my twins. Initially I thought of getting the maid before my EDD so that when I deliver, she can also help out a bit. But hb is reluctant cos he said I already have a confinement lady so what is the maid going to do...hmm...:-/

Bakaholic,
CL only takes care of u and babies. She may cook for yr family but she will only wash yr clothes and babies'. She will do light cleaning like sweeping and mopping the floor twice a week.
It's better to hire a maid months before yr EDD. u need time to train and monitor her. If she's not up to her job, u will hv time to get a replacement. A new replacement takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Unless u want to take a transfer maid.
