Hi Yanting

feel weird if u have GDM y the doc not ask u monitor at home? I raised concern to doc worried baby small as I not gaining weight but they reassure that with GDM baby will tend to be big. The growth scan at 31 weeks shows baby at normal range. Feel that important to monitor ur blood sugar level as very high possibility that baby will gain weight in later stage.

ya, we need to total off sugar from our diet n keep on eye on oily food as well. Oily food tend to digest slower mean the sugar level will at high level until fully digest. As well as starchy vegetables like carrot, potato, sweet corn,yam, tapioca, pumpkin, sweet potato, lotus root, turnip, water chestnut & radish. Limit to serving 2-3 tablespoons a meal.

for protein, about 100g for lunch n dinner (each). Equivalent to 1 palm size of meat, fish or chicken/ 1 chicken drumstick/ 1 medium fish/ 6 medium prawns

Hi Min Xing, I am also delivering a baby boy on the same day and place as you! What a coincidence!

Are you getting cot bumper for your baby cot? I didn't buy blanket as the baby still very small.

Oh I just realised I did pack the nipple cream in! Also Packed iPhone/iPad charger, toothbrush/paste, marriage cert and admission documents. I read that need to pack receipts too if claiming from medisave.

I already have 5 blankets for baby haha. Couldn't help buying. 2 was from my Bangkok trip, one during the matenity fair and 2 more I crocheted myself.

I actually enjoy the kicks from baby and makes me sleep through the night haha. She squirms a lot a lot. But now I'm waking up once a night to go to the toilet cos baby is getting bigger and less space for bladder.

Hi Yiks, I am facing the same issue as you. Mine is also very active. Especially middle of the night. Kicking until I woke up from my sleep. Sleepless night

kcws: I know Mark Anothony (available at Watsons) has dry shampoo too.
By the way, my experienced mummy friend told me, not necessary to cut. Infact with long hair, tie it into plaits or two pony tails, or bun it up, it is more cooling than having hair ends touching our ears/ neck. I am not cutting. :)

baby detergent - you can get the pureen brand ABD liquid detergent... look out for the Taka fair... usually it sell 2 bottles for $18, around there, quite cheap
baby pillow- not getting, only getting the beansprout pillow to calm baby down... there is a Shop in City square little india there, called Jarrons, they sell cheap handmade beansprout husk pillow for $12, designs very nice..
I think no need to get blanket as you will be swaddling your baby with swaddler.....

I have a list of things to buy for Baby..
if you want, PM me your email, I can email you the excel file....

Ladies, do we need to buy maternity pads? If so, which type did you get? And do babies need to brush their teeth? What do we need to prepare for the confinement nanny?

Have any of you read any parenting books? I'm getting stressed that I don't know anything! Argh!
