EDD March 2013

[NeyMO]

hi gtss, i've previously shared abt mattress for baby.. but nevertheless, maybe i share again in case some mummies missed out..

the best is to get pocketed spring/spring mattress.. the 2nd best is memory foam.. as for latex mattress some say it's good, some so it's not good.. my cousin bought coconut husk mattress for his baby.. he felt that his baby cant sleep so well as compared on sleeping on his spring mattress.. it's also recommended to have baby mattress to be minimum 5 inches..

i have just bought a 2nd-hand bimbo-bello cot at $200 and ordered a spring mattress from spring maternity at $199..
this should last my baby to at least 3-4 y/o.. hope my info helps! =D

Just a sharing the benefit of natural latex. :001_302:

1. Naturally orthopedic
Since natural latex is dense and easily conforms to body weight, it provides superior spinal support for a growing baby. While still offering a comfortable, soft sleep top, a latex crib mattress provides just the right amount firmness for your child's body.

2. Hypoallergenic
Latex material is a natural deterrent to dust mites, bacteria and microbes that can infest many traditional mattresses no matter how clean you keep them. A latex baby mattress is highly hypoallergenic because the material is so dense that it literally repels dust mites from infesting the material. Latex stays dryer as well and does not have problems with mold or mildew if you just simply keep the mattress dry.

3. Safer - Because of the natural properties in latex, there are no chemical residues that your child might breathe as it off gasses. Also, since latex is dense and provides a moderately firm sleep surface, you child will not run the chance of suffocation if she happens to turn over on her face in the night. And again, the material is highly hypoallergenic which is a plus for many parents.

4. Durable - If you want a mattress that will continue to be resilient no matter how much use it sees, then you will be pleased with a latex crib mattress. Organic latex can well last for up to 10 years if properly cared for and you can use the mattress for more than one child if that is your plan.





Myself will be buying natural latex for my lit precious because it doesnt accumulate House duct mite as other type of mattress which is reduce the allergy. My hubby has inherit sort of skin allergy so I think it is best to get the natural latex for his son :001_302: haha... Also you may want to refer to following thread that actually natural latex wont get warm as other type of mattress which baby could have higher quality of sleeping. But natural latex is much more expensive than others which simply cost >$250 for only 3". But my hubby still think it is worth to buy :001_302:

[PuTRi]

My tummy is so obvious now. I gain prolly abt 6kg frm last chk-up abt 5-weeks ago!!! I wonder wats my wt at 9th mth... >.<"'

 

[chocolate07]

Haha.. chocolate07, once you start to feel the movement of baby then it will be "non-stop" rocking, punching, kicking, fluttering ... Be patient ya :001_302:

hey NeyMO, how frequent do u feel baby movement? every hour?

 

[chocolate07]

Hi Chocolate07,

Empire cut dress is a type of dress or top where the waist line is raised above the natural waistline, sometimes as high as right below the bust. Best on slender-on-top or petite figures, the empire dress creates the illusion of length and camouflages a bottom-heavy figure or thick waist. So far I haven't really go out to search for it. So lazy to shop.

I usually measure near slightly below the navel area .. You?

.

hi susannanation, hmm i havent come across such dresses, seesms hard to find..

erm i measure ard the baby bump area, is it correct ah?

 

[chocolate07]

Chocolate07 forgot to add to make sure that the length is alright if not dont risk falling down ok? Must take care of yourself.

thanks susannanation, u muz take care too! we jia you together!

 

[mhjt]

Just had my doctor's appointment. My boy is 909g. Haha. Doctor commented that his head circumference is big and femur length is really long. Not a concern. But doctor mention will monitor his growth next appointment.

I'm at 25 weeks now. But baby's weight is similar to a baby at 28-29 weeks. Doctor mentioned that not necessary that the EDD will be earlier. Still the same date as predicted earlier.

 

[smilem]

how your ultrascan?

Hi all mummies,
Today I went to have detailed scan ... my baby is very shy, her face is facing down ... so I need to half kneel for abt 10 mins, unsuccessful, and then need to walk abt half an hour and went back again the scan, still same position ... haha ... the doctor asked me to cough until my baby face is turned up ... haha
Last week I did complant my belly was painful and the gynae has arranged me to do ultrascan tomorrow morning ... hope that everything is fine ...

Hi Neymo, my baby is princess, EDD on 22 Mar at KK Hospital, please update to gender board ... thank ya ...

hey NeyMO, how frequent do u feel baby movement? every hour?

I remember in the first 2 weeks (20-22 weeks) baby will like to show his movement whenever I was doing my experiments and reading journals (both were at sitting position). Sometimes while I was standing and starring at MacDonald breakfast board during queueing and he started kicking. LOL...

Then from 22 weeks onwards till now, my baby moves more frequent and I could even feel his movement even walking. :001_302:

Do share with us when your baby start to move ya, chocolate07!! :001_302:

Wow.. I think our boys are really GIANT :001_302: haha....

I shared this with my colleagues and they said the BW only estimation. One of them had underestimated - 3.2kg during ultrasound but eventually come out with 3.6kg of boy. Another one had overestimated - 3.2kg during ultrasound but eventually come out with 2.9kg of girl.. So they said dun really believe those figure and eat what you want to eat in balance diet and maintain the suggested BW will do :001_302:
