I tink probably just ur growing womb i guess... I read tat u will probably feel the baby's movements in abt wk 26 n beyond...

I do feel wierd feelings at the abdomen... But i guess it is normal as ur womb enlarges... The muscles and all, have to stretch... :)

hello Sept mtbs!

my EDD is aug but been following your threads :)
this is my number 1 and will be delivering @ mt.A
into my 19th week now but gender of my lil' one is not known yet
expecting to find out by my next visit (detailed scan) on 1 apr!!!

meanwhile, i heard fetal heart rate & spinal structure are telltale signs of our baby's gender
less than 140 per min / more curved spine - likely to be a boy
more than 140 per min / more parrallel spine - likely to be a gal

not sure how true this is
will share my findings once the secret is out

with regards to baby's movements, they typically start somewhere from the 18th week
but may varies with baby's rate of development

for me, i started to feel the first tiny kicks last thurs night
they felt like bubbly taps from withins
am enjoying it before the kicks become more karate-like

Hi Cindtwink...i've been wondering the same question.

I am going to SGH..last time I went I forgot to ask. I remember my ex-colleague mentioning a package but I think she went to a private clinic - I don't know where.

Anyway just wanted to say hi... Just joined today.

Btw, when's your EDD? mine is 24 sept.

Hope all goes well with you... Will let u know if I find out the answer :)

Hi September Mummies-to-be...

Wondering if any of you have visited any wholesalers to check out baby products? If so, any places to recommend?

Have any of you started buying baby furniture like cots or bath stands?

Hi Kittymeowmeow

I haven't decided which brand of pumps...there's so many decisions to make...so confusing...Although I have the impression that Pigeon and Avent are good.

But my sister tells me not to rush to buy any pumps yet...I guess can wait to see how the breastfeeding goes in the first 1 month after delivery then decide whether to continue breastfeeding or not?

Do you have any idea whether you will get electric or manual pump?

hi Adelene! yah i agree, so many brands, so confusing. currently i've narrowed down to either Avent electric or Medela swing. like you, most of my friends told me not to buy first. based on their experiences, some not able to produce milk, some have inverted nipples etc. i dont mind waiting till after delivery, but i can't stand the kancheongness in me! hahaha

As for visits to wholesalers, I've not done so. One of my friends mentioned something like it's not as cheap as it seems. I only went to the recent taka fair just to recce the prices.

Hi Thea! How have you been?

Yeah Im no longer working... and yes I did accompany a friend to the baby fair at expo last friday. Didn't buy anything for the baby though. But I bought things for myself. Needed larger bra so I bought some nursing bra... quite cheap... $25! (nursing bras easily $35-50 i think)... I also bought a Bando waist band... basically to 'lengthen' those tops which will no longer cover well as the tummy grows bigger... now I also wear it over my 'un-zipped' shorts to cover the un-zip part... cos now my shorts all cannot zip already hehehe... great buy in my opinion... it also says it can help support the belly also....

Hi Hi All Sept Mums! :)

Yeah i was wondering if any one of you checked out the cots, prams, car seats...bottle sanitizers...in SG...Erm...i'm a first time mom so i'm not so sure if we can put the newborn in the cot when it's just maybe 2-3weeks old? (gonna be in a confinement centre b4 that)...where are you planning to put your baby after you come home fr the hospital?

oh yes, just FYI, i read this "Best Friends' Guide to Pregnancy" book & the author mentioned that electric pumps worked for her while manual pumps never did...

hi mrs eg,

yeps. but they are really very tiny movements.
u have to sit down quietly for a while to wait for to see if there are any.
completed my detailed scan yesterday.
the secret is finally out :)
it's a BOY as i've guessed thru' the fetal heartrate + spinal structure.

When i gave birth to my 1st one, I too thought that breastpump is not necessary, until I experienced engorgement during after 2nd day of birth. It was so bad and the milk was leaking non-stop whilst baby couldnt drink that much. Hubby decided to go to the shop below (i was at Kandang Kerbau Hospital then) to get a breastpump and store my milk in the plastics to freeze them. After pumping it, Felt so much reliefed!!! (Can cause you to have slight fever if the engorgement remain)..

Anyway, We bought Avent manual pump, and I must say that it works wonders! At the same time, I tried Medela Electric Pump on loan by Kandang Kerbau Hospital and I must admit it was pretty hassle-free having electric ones around. But if you are on a tight budget, trust me, Avent works wonder and I could get a 90ml Milk within minutes.. :)
