Huh u mean ur hubby will come forum and check what u type??? I think it's ur uterus that is growing. I felt my baby's movement at Week 18. My gynae manage to detect baby's gender by week 14. You can try asking your gynae, see if she/he can detect anot.

It really depends on what you want to buy. U can buy things that can be kept and use once baby comes out. Most important you must have place to store the things you bought.

Yes, yes! it is until 13 sept as what i was told also..

Ya , some items you can consider buying while not some of the rest.

Things to buy could be : milk bottles(not many , maybe not > 4 ?), baby clothings detegernet if cheap(use specially formulated detergent bcoz baby's skin so delicate that it can be prone to itch or other prob if use nomal detergent), diapers(if cheap), car seats if you have the need,nursing pads, disposable maternity underwear(if your CLs/no one is not washing for you), nappy cream, etc.

Things NOT to buy could be : Breast pump(cos you may not want to use or if you dont have milk supply, or if you have hand downs), baby clothings esp if you dont know your baby's gender yet(and usu there tends to be alot of hand downs [preloved], or if you are still in very early stage of your pregnancy(< 3 mths)), pram/scroller(sometimes you may receive them as gift during baby shower), unless you wanna buy a very good quality ones(which of cos means very exp, at least >$300)

this is what i thought, as I am also waitin for the arrival of my baby in Jan 2010 =P. have friends who has given birth and some advices given by them...

I agree! even if know bb's gender lioa, clothings dont buy alot... they outgrown it v fast! if u still cant resist the little cute clothings, can buy neutral colour clothings like yellow, green, white(univeral). Then again, even if u buy pink(or red) or blue colour clothings, either boy or gals can wear it.. No one say boy must wear blue or gal must wear red ma...hehe
but of cos usu parents would want to dress up their son in blue and girl in pink for easy identification bah..this is how i think :)

Yes agreed. Once u know the gender u can start shopping for his/her item. Can start choosing name for him/her already then no need to do it last minute. If fren got baby boy/ger clothes they can pass down to u if they know ur baby gender, then no need to waste money buy so many newborn clothes.

It's always very exciting to see our baby through the scan. I always look forward to my gynae appointment.

I went to the fair on Thurs. More products but not many discounts. The March Taka baby fair has more special offers but I think u can't wait. Isetan & Robinsons hv great discounts during sales.

Have an idea of the prices of big ticket items e.g. stroller, cot, breast pump & steriliser, or essentials like beddings.

Don't buy electronics too early cos most have 1 yr warranty.

1st time mummies are recommended to buy electronic breast pumps if u r keen on bf.

For me, cos I bought expensive breast pumps, I had to persevere w bf cos didn't want to waste $. So it sort of helped; otherwise, I would have stopped bf early. [I don't take pain well & bf was quite painful. After almost 3 mth, i finally numbed to the pain.]

If you have inverted nipples or short milk ducts, see a lactation consultant before delivery. Buy the Avent nipple puller & start using a few mths before delivery.


happy shopping!

I started buying stuffs for myself and my baby as early as my 1st trimester. Hubby and i didn't buy things implusively though. We did lotsa homework. Like visiting different shops or departmental stores to check prices, and if with memebership or credit cards are there further discounts.

For example, we bought out baby's starter kit (milk bottles, etc) and breast pump at kiddy palace last month when Phillips AVENT is having a joint promo with them and we got more than 35% discount off both items. Which is very very cheap! ;p

Start bringing a notebook and pen when you're out. ;p
