Hi, just helping a friend share about this feedback session happening this Thursday 5 November 2015. They're looking for first-time parents or those expecting their first child. Please PM them on Facebook if interested...

I'm clearing excess baby clothes! Either self collect at Holland Village or Novena, or add $2.50 for postage. Discount for buying more than one item :) Brand new Greenbaby shirt 0-3 months/50-56 cm; organic cotton with animal prints; condition 10/10 - washed but never worn - $6 Brand new...

I think it's good to see a gynae in addition to TCM. Call a gynae to say you want to do pre conception check up. This is to see if you have any physical difficulties, e.g. cyst or hormonal issue. You can bring your tests to TCM to optimise your body for baby. That's what I did. Hope it helps!

And two Mothercare pacifiers in original packaging to give away.

1) Ikea changing mat covers - just the covers. Both hardly used but the blue one has a yellow stain. (Ignore the pillows - already given away) 2) Pureen bottle, teat, pacifier and brush. Brand new. 3) Two pregnancy test strips - expiring in March 2015 Collection at Holland Village: a) MRT...

Wa congrats! I have two secondhand pumps! One was free and the other at a big discount. I got them from friends who take care of their stuff and who didn't use the pumps very much so they were quite new when I got them. Older pumps may be less powerful.. But I bought my own pump parts since...

My 18-month-old wore the puffy jacket for six days, still perfect. Can use for 0-10 deg. Scarf and leggings washed but not used - India wasn't that cold after all! All from H&M. Letting go at: - $25 jacket - originally $39.90 - $3 each for scarf and leggings - originally around $5 each Self...

You can ask your hospital. When I took the maternity tour, I sampled their red date tea, which was part of my hospital meal as I chose confinement meal.

I have two friends who got pregnant after the test - one in the HSG cycle and another one the cycle right after! But do remember that getting pregnant is a lot about luck :)

Should see a doc already given your age. As raoow mentioned, do non-invasive tests first - her hormone levels and your sperm count. If everything ok, try HSG to check for blockage. I heard it could be painful but I have two friends who got pregnant the cycle with/right after HSG - apparently...

Just to share.. I use a carrier instead of stroller cos I take public transport and my stroller is huge and baby sometimes cannot stay there for long especially when we're not moving. When he was younger, I used a sling. Now, I use a front carrier. But if your baby is ok with it, a stroller is...

Yup, up to 32 weeks ok but I prepared a letter from my doc saying that I was fit to travel anyway. Up to 36 weeks definitely need letter. Beyond that, better get gynae to travel together haha!

Hi, just to share, remember to get up and walk about as Switzerland will be quite a long flight - not very comfortable. Otherwise, travelling in a normal pregnancy is nothing to worry about, just more uncomfortable the bigger you get. I flew 24 hours in my 32nd week last year!

Your TCM includes acupuncture? Will work better if it's medicine plus acupuncture.

Hey JuliaKT, I put my son in infant care and it was great! But be aware that kids tend to fall ill when they start going to centres. I think he was home 70% of the time for the first two months. I had to take leave or work from home cos it's hard for my mum-in-law to take care of him alone for...
