Hi hi!!
I'm in my 22nd week now and my baby is very active! You'll feel like something poking your tummy. *hahaha* But it's pretty amazing.
Anyway, if you're getting breast pump and all ... Avent and Mendela are of the best brands in my opinion. I've got myself Avent. As for strollers, I got myself Graco (US Brand). It comes with a baby carrier which can be converted into a car seat. It can also be ledged onto the pram and the baby will be facing you. You can also use it as a normal pram whereby the baby will face front. It has a sizeable storage compartment below the pram for all your stuffs that you'll have to bring along. The cover is also very extendable to be able to almost cover the whole top (leaving a 5 - 10cm gap from the bar). I find it good because it acts as a sun shade. Seat is super soft and sides/gadgets are accident free. Amongst other brands .. Quinny ... Peg Perego .. Maxi Cosi are not bad ... I personally do not really fancy Quinny as it takes up alot of storage space as you'll need to remove the seat before folding (depends on model). All in all, I think it boils down to personal preference.
Happy shopping!!!

Am thinking of Peg but the baby will not be facing me or Quinny for the convenience of the car seat onto the stroller but hard to manage it if im out alone.. hah

You can get it from pharmacies - watsons and guardian sell them too...
type of breastpump depends on how often you wish to pump - whether you are stay at home and pump once in a while type or working mom that needs to pump few times a day. Then you will be better off with double electric type. I agree with Jezamine, both are good brands. I myself got the Medela PISA as i was hoping to pump for confinement lady to feed (heheheh lazeyyy) at night but maybe thats wishful thinking.
I reserved a cot during the motherhood fair months back for about $450 including bedding and all. If you are thinking of using the bed until toddler (2 years more), try to look for one that has at least a height of 22inches between the top of the mattress and top of the rails. My nieces' cot is too small for her at 2 years old - the top of the cot is at her shoulder/armpit area and it is getting dangerous already. that cot had only 18 inches between top of mattress and rails. hope it helps... i took a measuring tape with me to buy my bed! heehee

Hi ladies, I have a packet of trial Annum chocolate, is anyone interested? I can mail it to you if you send me your address. I asked for the sample but only took the vanilla pack then had to stop, was having diarrhea so reckon I'm not suited for pregnancy milk powder. Same goes for similac so I'm not taking any pregnancy milk. Let me know if any of you taking and want the pack.
For calcium, im taking calcium pills 600mg on top of what's in my multi vits and a glass of milk almost daily. Gynae said aim for 1000mg should be sufficient.

Hi Katherine,
I bought mine when i was in KL for holiday last month. They're much cheaper in Malaysia though. I think there aren't many Graco choices in Singapore. I've seen quite alot of prams in some shops in Nex or You can try during the baby fair in Isetan starting tomorrow.
Or try Graco-Stroller-KiddySky-The Baby Shop,Singapore
Oh, another thing .. I avoided buying those with wheels that needs to be pumped. Something like a bicycle wheel. Kinda lazy to pump. Wondering if it goes flat halfway when we're out .. esp if I'm alone .. hmmm ... not a good idea.

Hi Nature,
You need to ledge the baby carrier on the pram itself and the baby seated/sleep in the baby carrier. If you would prefer the whole stroller to switch position (without the extra carrier to be ledged) .. i think Quiny has a model that you can remove the seat and flip it over .. but that model would need to have the seat removed before you can keep it in the car boot (if i recall correctly). There's also another brand (i can't remember) where the handle can be flipped around but that pram itself is not sturdy that's why I didn't get that.
