Due Date - Jan 2015

CoquinaHK, the mentioned tests will be recommended by the OB doctor once understand your medical history to see if there is a need, like you said either to have it done in London or HK but retain the copy for doctor reference.

12 weeks will be a milestone to have either the Oscar Test or the Nifty Test for the genetic disorder test.
 
How's everyone so far?

I had my 15 weeks 2 days OB visit, sign up some mother club's application and got a huge bag with sundries item like pregnancy milk, baby cloth and the baby blanket.

Baby is fine, 15 cm by length and happy growing, everything steady and will wait for the next visit in 5 weeks time.

I have brought up the Placenta Encapsulation to doctor, doctor agree to sign off the paper but ask me to contact the hospital directly, therefore called St Paul, first nurse did not explained well what I need to get the license from Food & Hygiene Dept in HK then I requested to talk to her line manger, later she called me and explained hospital policy changed this May and no longer allow the patient to retain the placenta for own consumption, rigid and backward!

Then end up I am on the waiting list the Sanitorium Hospital as this hospital is a popular celebrity hospital in Hong Kong, they allow me to keep my placenta so that I can make the capsules.

Would like to hear your up-to-date too!
 
A 4-days Baby Fair at the Wanchai Convention Center has started from today, I will go tomorrow morning and see if I can meet any of you, have a fantastic weekend!

Hi all, are you preparing your baby items checklist? Shall we share what we know are good and must buy?

I can share first.

1. Cocoonababy -- recommended by a mommy as it helps baby sleep better and longer. It can also help avoid flat head.

2. My Brest Friend breastfeeding pillow -- helps avoid sore shoulders as it frees mommy's hands

3. Motherlove Organic Nipple Cream -- very good review

4. Charis Kids bibs -- super soft and waterproof

5. Medela Freestyle pump -- recommended by many mommies

6. Stokke flexibath -- foldable function is perfect for travel

7. Ergobaby performance carrier -- highly recommended brand

• Definitely recommend my Brest friend, it is great for breastfeeding.
• Ergo carrier is also great, as long as it's not too hot outside for the newborn insert.
• Lansinoh nipple cream is good too, but a bit of expressed breast milk the best.
My top suggestions:
•Forget buying a Moses basket, you'll be lucky to get 2 months out of it. Or if you do; buy second hand!
• Recommend a session or two with a lactation consultant straight away (in hospital if possible)- breast feeding does not necessarily come naturally!
• Also recommend having a sleep consultant's details up your sleeve in case your baby struggles with sleep.
• For baby's cot/bed: cotton sheets, waffle weave cotton blankets.
• Swaddle of some description is a worthy investment too!
• Worth getting a VIP membership at Eugene Baby!
 
Are you ladies buying the stuff now or will you wait till later?

Agree with all those items
Also bought the car seat plus stroller travel system. :)
