Hi, I just had a c-section about 7 weeks ago and am keen to go for post-natal spa treatments for relaxation, rejuvenation and body contouring. Does anyone have any spas to recommend?

Thanks! I'll try hunting for them at Kiddy Palace! :)

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get empty satchets/containers to carry formula milk powder when I'm on the go? Please advise.

Hi, Has anyone tried taking their sick babies to Picton Clinic (a GP at Toa Payoh Lor 1) for a consultation before? Any experience to share - whether the doctors there are baby-friendly, etc.?

Hi smuckz, Thanks! Will be heading to the hospital this morning to check for cervix dilation. Gynae will be inducing birth no later than 4 Mar - am feeling excited to be able to see bb soon, but also a bit nervous about the birth. Thank god for epidural! Your bb seems small at 1.7kg - did...

Congrats jojoki!!! So happy for you!!! =)

I guess it also helps not to worry too much, stay positive and talk to baby often. Let nature do its wonders. :) Even if going on fours doesn't help turn your baby, it will reduce the stress on your back. Why don't you give it a try?

jojoki, had your shower already? All ready to welcome your cute bb to the world? :) Don't worry too much, okay? We will all be praying for you. Everything will be fine - especially the moment you get to hold your bb in your arms for the first time. :) Thought of a name for your bb already?

jojoki, ALL THE BEST! I'm sure everything will be just fine! Do share your exciting birth story with us after you're well-rested, okay? :)

Thanks for sharing and your advice, everyone. I'll just try to relax during the check and think positive. :)

Re: Mummies in Toa Payoh / Bishan Hi hi, I'm TPY mom-to-be, staying at Lor 8, opp Nissan car showroom! EDD is 4 Mar, but gynae will be checking for cervix dilation on 2 Mar. :) Hey, does anyone have any pediatricians or GPs in the TPY area to recommend? Currently, hubby and I go to Picton...

My original EDD was 19 March, but due to gestational diabetes, gynae decided to induce birth on 4 March. However, at my last appointment, gynae said baby is growing fast and suggested checking for cervix dilation at the next visit, i.e. 2 March. I think the check involves putting her hand to...

Hi, On 2 March, my gynae is going to check if I have started dilating (when the cervix opens) and effacing (when the cervix thins). She said it will hurt a bit. Can anyone share what this check entails? Any way of reducing the discomfort/pain experienced at such a check?

Heh heh, thanks! I tried massaging tummy in clockwise motion, going on fours for about 10 mins a day, and talking to baby. Glad it works. :)

Hi obscurestloh, Oh dear, it must have been a bad scare. Hope you're feeling better. Get some rest and think positive - you and baby will be fine. :) BTW, yesterday gynae said my baby is growing fast and she is going to do a cervical check for me on 2 Mar (two days before the original...

Just came back from the hospital. Gynae said baby has finally turned his head down! :)

jojoki, last lap liao, don't give up! Jia you, jia you!

Hi obscurestloh, Your readings are great! :) I'm guilty of grabbing the occasional burger too! But will choose the healthier choice (e.g. grilled chicken breast, grilled turkey breast), ask for more vege and leave out the mayo. And lucky me, pasta (aglio olio) does not make my blood sugar...

It's not a must to take such milk products, especially if you have certain health conditions (e.g. obesity, diabetes, hypertension) as they make one put on weight fast. But, pregnant women and breast-feeding moms should increase their calcium intake which can be found in other types of milk...

Hi ratna, Like you, my tummy didn't show. In fact, some of my colleagues didn't even know I was preggie until my third trimester! As long as you go for your regular gynae check-up to ensure that you and baby are healthy, there's nothing to worry about. Just enjoy the journey! :)
