Hi bells, every first time mummy will feel the same... just take ur time to shop and surf (internet) around. Once u start shopping, u will enjoy it.. cos the baby's stuffs are so cute esp if u are shopping for a baby princess. Or maybe ask one of ur girlfriends who is already a mummy to go shopping with u, at least she able to give u some advices.

I do feel abit lost sometime when it comes to choosing which brand is better or which shopping centre is having sale and therefore is selling cheaper... But I kind of enjoy this experience cos after all I hv nvr nvr step into a baby department and shop for baby's stuffs b4... is pretty fun!!

I just did my detail scan on sat.. Doc suspected my bb will have cleft lip n there is no stomach bubble.. Today I will go down to Nuh to scan again by specialist.. I really hope everything will be fine but I think I need to prepare for the worse also...

Hi mummyhu,

I'll be delivering at Gleneagles too,my doctor is Dr Chan Kon Hon,who's yours?

Dear mummies,

I just happened to chat with a colleague who is on her second pregnancy.She advise me not to focus so much on what to buy for the baby which we all did,but rather we should also be aware of the delivery part and the taking care of the baby.She advise me to take up some prenatal course which will teach you how to breathe properly during delivery.She said it's important to learn how to breast
feed also,cuz the first time she tried letting the baby latch on her breast for half an hour without any milk coming out,it was a very painful experience. I think what she said make sense so thought of sharing with you all.

Dear simiko,

I wish your baby is fine and healthy too,kambate !! Cleft lip is very common nowadays,as long as the baby is healthy,can always do up the plastic surgery(maybe there is another term for it,I'm not sure) when the baby is about 6months.

hi mummies..

mostly likely i will be delivering at SGH cos i am with DR Tan Hak Koon fr SGH.
this my 1st baby and i am in week 24 and 4 days.. it's a prince but i haven start shopping any clothing fr my bb cos uncle passing down his son de, his son was just born in May this year and most of his clothes are out of his size already.
so mummies dun get too many new clothing fr yr princess/prince cos they really grow fast at this stage.
i wonder if anyone having same experiences with me??
my before preggie weight was abt 45-46kg
now into my 25 weeks my weight is 49-50kg, nt much weight gain.. but if l rem correctly my bb weight abt 600g when i went for my check up last week.. tink e dr says bb weight was normal or sumthing like that.
plus this 1 weeks keep having stretching feeling on right side on my lower abdominal...somehow i guess it was my bb hand/feet/head?? cos when i feel both left & right side together, left is soft while right is hard like sumthing is there..
e feeling was rather painful, i having difficultly to find e right position to slp, even walking or sit down also dun feel good..

and i tink it time to source for post netal massage, anyone has good one & experiences to share?? heard post netal massage can helps in silming down/clear water retention/expel gas fr body/unblock milk duct etc, it will be definitely a good help if some experience mummy can share their experiences.

oh just to share.. do u mummies listen to music??
my sis in law recomended classical music..

btw scan on 14 weeks, then followed by week 20, when e next scan??

Hi 2011mummy,

Me too! My doctor is Dr Yu Su Ling fr SGH as well.. When ur EDD? Mine is 9/3/2011. Btw, hv u enrol for the pre-natal class in SGH?. I did n it starting on 7/12/2010 (Tue). During my last two appts, I gained an average of 2kgs per mth. My princess is abt 460gram (during 21 wks), now I m 24wks.

Sometime I hv the same feeling as well.. my tummy seem very very tight and pulling. As regard to post natal, I dun think u shld book now. If u going for C-Sect then u not able to hv the massage due to ur wound.. I m hoping for natural birth but there alot of things are beyond our control so I may end up having C-Sect instead.

I m playing guitar instrument music for my girl since a wk ago.. also intend to get some story books to read out for her.

As regard to next scan, I remember my doc mentioned that will be somewhere during eighth mth.

The fees is abt S$180/- plus... 8 lessons, complete within a mth (ie. 2 days per wk). Not sure if Dec class is full. If so, you better book for the Jan class asap. When ur next check up? Can ask the nurse n she will tell u to go room 25 (i think) where u register for ur class or u want to wait till I attended mine, then I can tell u if the lessons are good or not..

I not too sure abt 3D/4D scans. Anyway I m okay if there no such scan in SGH cos I m already very happy whenever can see my girl at the monitor liao.

Btw, hv u start looking for confinement lady?? I was told that now abit late to look for it cos mostly all confinement ladies will be booked by now..
 
jespang:
hey were only about 3 days apart, mine's march 11 :) i think it's okay to look for post natal massage lady on your 7th month, the one who's doing my pre-natal massage said it's still too early to book. I'm currently looking for one as well as I don't think I can afford my masseuse's package :D

My personnel view is YES. Cos u can't request or 'order' ur MIE to wake up in mid of night to feed the baby or to carry the baby every now and then when ur baby cries. Unless, ur MIE or ur own mum know how to bath a new born baby or change his/her clothes/diaper, if not it will be tough for you and the baby. I remembered few years back when I visited my little niece when she just borned. She is so tiny and fragile but with the experience confinement lady around, the way she dress up the baby is so fast and easy. As for confinement food, my mum will help up.

I m more worry abt if there 'hip up' like... breastfeeding, bathing or when baby cry suddenly etc etc... at least there is a experience lady standby for me.

My baby girl a bit lesser than average in weight.
Any advice ?


:embarrassed:
I guess just eat more carbs and fatty stuff? Coz that's the first thing I hear all the docs told my friends and me to cut down on when they think baby getting too big. But dont put on too much also lah otherwise hard for bb to come out.

Thanks for sharing. I have a friend who also just delivered and she had difficulty breast feeding, just struggling with the baby everyday for an hour each feed and she says so painful until her nipples feel like they are going to fall off. She also doesnt know if he's got enough or if the milk is flowing well. Anyway I was talking to my cousin and she was saying that after 2.5wks of giving birth, she just decided to pump for her baby instead for a number of reasons:
1) it's painful to breastfeed
2) the kid sleep and drink at the same time so it takes super long
3) you know how much the baby drank
She said she was back to normal really fast so she says the effect is the same as if the baby had taken the milk directly from you.
I guess what she says makes sense. What are your thoughts? Experienced mummies?
