Wow, most mummies are having durians during pregnancy. Me also...

Hi xynthia18, u bought so many baby stuff liao. :) I only bought a playpen last Wed during the TANGS sale & few baby gal's clothes.

I never bought any playpen during my 1st pregnancy as I was given a baby wooden cot. However, my boy did not like to sleep in the cot at all so after that I gave it away.

Now, I bought a playpen for my baby gal as I am thinking it is more convenient and portable. But I am wondering is it practical to have a playpen?

clovbear : haha. i think they dun wan a fat daughter and granddaughter. :tlaugh:

sweety : yeah. my mum and me the kiasu one. haha. oh. actually i wanted a playpen instead. but my mum says it's shaky very dangerous, so she says get a cot better... playpen is much better in my opinion cus have bassinet and mosquito net and moreover it's lighter than a cot.

@sweety: Hee... I dun, cos I dun take durians. But was told by my colleagues it's good cos very 'bu3', but be careful you don't get overly heaty!

No idea about the playpen... I also inherited a cot passed down from a friend who's kiddo also rejected it. But also thinking of buying a playpen just in case my babe sleeps over at his grans. Easier to move it around than the cot!

@Jaschy: I want to sleep with my baby too. But my hubby is so scared of crushing him! (Cos he's not exactly the slim trim type) So he forbade me to place him between us. :(

Anyone went for antenatal classes? I'm taking mine from TMC. Were your classes useful?

hehe i thought its a bit dangerous to put baby between us when she is very young also.. but tink as she get older and bigger.. we sld be able to feel her presence more ba.. so sld be quiet ok to sleep with her once in a while ba:Dancing_tongue:..


I just went for my antenatal classes at thomson medical last week..:001_302: the slides she went thru most of them can be found on internet lar.. but i tot the next few lessons abt breastfeeding and bathing the baby might be useful.. dunnoe yet cos i ahd only been to 1 lesson so far...:Dancing_tongue:

Hi to all mommies!

Finally! We're into our 3rd trimester! Wahaha! 3 more months before the little ones arrive (and the sleepless nights, never-ending feedings, excitement and more excitement!)

Just like to recommend a good book to you: What To Expect - The First Year
Maybe you would have already bought it or gotten a hand-me-down from 'retired mommies' - I just received a copy from my church, which was very nice of them. :) Ultimately, I think it's quite a good read, especially it brings you through month-by-month on your baby's progress/problems you may face etc. A friend of mine who just gave birth told me that 'every baby should have been born with that manual'. Kekee...
Parenting Books, Family Books, Relationships Books: What to Expect the First Year by Murkoff, Heidi, Mazel, Sharon, Eisenberg, Arlene: Better World Books

dont know how you ladies are all feeling at this moment - was at home napping with my hubby yesterday afternoon and it just struck me that 3 months from now, our lives are going to change from 'the 2 of us' to 'a family'. Everything we decide or do does not just affect us, but our little family unit as a whole. Then questions like 'am i going to be a good mommy to my baby/am I going to be like my mother/is my baby going to come out healthy' etc just comes along. Hee... Must be the high hormonal levels. Guess parenthood is really something you learn OJT, so no use worrying too much about it now. And I trust that we'll all eventually turn out well, no matter what different types of teaching we will adopt!

Am planning for a short staycation with my hubby next month before the baby comes - gonna miss our little 'you-and-me-world', but very excited with our new life as well. Hee.

Take care mommies! Enjoy the final stretch!
