Hi Mickey88 I chose Cordlife. I think it's more established and my sister uses them too. Their technology seems sound (not that I am an expert) but I believe they are one of the pioneers in this area. We signed up during the Motherhood Expo and chose the 21 year plan. Upon reaching 21 years...

Hi Happy baby how was the massage with Babies Bellies? I got their brochure during the Motherhood Expo but didn't try them out cos it's quite far...nowadays feel tired so trying to cut down on too much travelling. Instead I am checking out massage places in Siglap which is nearby for me. I...

Hi dl28 I am with SGH too! Which doctor are you seeing? I am so glad to find someone else at SGH...

Hi Nightingale I did my test about 2 weeks ago. I read that it's supposed to be routine to have the glucose tolerance test. But for me, my sister had gestational diabetes for her 1st pregnancy and my dad has diabetes so I guess there's strong family history so I didn't ask her why she's...

Hi Playful Fairy I asked my gynae whether I need to count kicks. She says there isn't a standard number of kicks that a baby is supposed to have as each baby is different. She said that the mummy would be most familiar with baby's movements/ activity levels and the key is to look out for any...

Hi Christina Thanks for the website link! :)

Hi Delvy For me I notice baby moves after I eat and when I lie/ sit still. I also have a deskbound job so I can feel baby moving during the day and also at night before I sleep. Honestly, I can't really make out a pattern now...but I do feel a bit anxious if I don't feel her move for too...

Hi mummies to be... just chipping in on the weight gain topic. My aunty in law who is a doctor said an expecting mother should gain about 20kg throughout the 40 weeks. That works out to about 1kg in 2 weeks...but how much weight is gained really differs for every individual. I've been told...

Hi Nightingale Thanks. I think I read somewhere in What to Expect that the OGTT is a standard test at 24-28 weeks. Nowadays it's hard for me to remember exactly where I read what...haha...

Hi Happy baby :) How was your expreience with Babies Bellies? How did you find the therapist and did you sign up a package with them for post-natal massage? Not sure if you have already updated...sorry if you have...do you mind sharing with us again? Hello to the rest of the Sept MTBs...

Hi Delvy...I am also quite concerned about my weight gain because I really eat alot these days. I not only eat full meals but also snacks in between... When I last visited my gynae, my urine test (testing for sugar) was not good. My gynae is sending me for the oral glucose tolerance test...

Hi Christina At 24 weeks, baby is supposed to be about 770 gms (according to What To Expect). But I think like Mrs Eg says...what your gynae advises is probably more important.

Hi Mrs Eg I know what to buy cos I had help from my mum and friends...haha...a friend gave me a shopping list and my mum helped buy alot of stuff... Plus doing research online and reading up helps. I decided to buy Pigeon bottles cos my mum is used to them (my nieces use pigeon bottles) and...

Hi MummyK I bought the Medela Freestyle during the fair. I don't have any other pumps so decided to invest in this one which is supposed to be good and fast. It's a dual electric pump and is smaller and lighter than the Medela Pump in Style. Because I intend to go back to work after...

Hi Mrs Eg Try Robinsons (I saw at the Raffles City outlet) for NUK bottles and other NUK products. I didn't find NUK at the Motherhood Exhibition at Expo.

Hi Mrs_Eg So far we've only bought the Graco convertible play pen/ cot bed. I want to buy cot mattress, Avent steriliser, bottles, breast pump, Combi Roanju high chair... Stroller, car seat, diapers, clothes getting from my sister...and my mum got the bedding and towels...

Hi Bubbleblue! Congrats and you're welcome :) Me and my hubby were both born in Mt Alvernia...so it'll always have a special place in my heart...hehe...unfortunately I won't be delivering at Mt Alvernia because my FIL recommended Dr Yu and she only does delivery at SGH.

Hi Mrs_Eg Poor thing...but never mind...it may not be a bad thing to have watched it...I was reading What to Expect last night and it said something like it's better to know than not to know because fear is usually due to the unknown. I always tell myself that if other women have gone...

Oops...sorry forgot to add that I think Pigeon has breast pumps - I saw in their catalogue but very limited range (only got one manual model and one electric model). So far, I seldom hear of people buying Pigeon brand breast pumps..I think their bottles are more "famous". For breast pumps, my...

Hi Cheng The Pigeon bottles which are BPA free will state so on the packaging...those that don't say anything are not BPA-free. Also, the price difference between the Pigeon BPA-free bottles and non-BPA free is quite obvious. I believe Pigeon even has bottles made of glass which are of...
