# 25weeks # Bangkok

25 + 5 Weeks and traveling to BangKok

My second day in Bangkok and I am more recharged to do some blogging now. I have heard mummies concern about traveling when they are pregnant. So this is my life and now pregnant at 25 weeks and travelling.

I heard that airplane companies give priority to pregnant women. I took SQ flight this time round. However, unsure of what is the priority. I have decided to pass them my letter written by my gynae. 

My luggages had business class priority tag and I didn't really had to wait long. Once I reached luggage claim , my luggage were ready to be picked up. This was good, I was getting very tired.

Priority Luggage Claim
I do realized that Bangkok is not friendly for heavily pregnant women, strollers and wheelchair.
The pavements are very uneven. In the event, we had to cross the bridge , there was no escalator or lift. There were no pedestrian crossing in sight nearby, poor Papa Koh had to lift the two luggage up the long flight of steps

I wouldn't recommend Bangkok for heavily pregnant ladies. Bangkok has been flourished over the years and thank goodness for that ,it make hotels closer to the malls for middle incomers affordable.

Checking in at The Berkeley Hotel , which was walking distance from Platinum Mall. This was where I got my loot for Royce two years ago. Before I headed out , I took a shot at my baby bump. I
want to send a reminder to mummies to be more diligent in putting the stretch mark cream. I was ignorant during my pregnancy of Royce. I did not see any stretch mark until I gave birth. My 'battle scars' scarred me still 21 months later.

Looking sharp from this angle
if you can see my battle scar on my tummy
I brought my dermatix stretch cream. One of the smallest stretch cream and non -sticky cream.


This is one the stretch mark cream I used and  it works
At Central World , we didn't get to find cheap deals for babies .However, You can find kids' store such as Mothercare or H & M kids . it did not seem cheaper than Singapore. However, Central World is one place you can bring your running tods and let them ride the kid's train

My mission to purchase for Adele, only kick off on the third day.  Maybe I have bought some necessity for Royce, I felt we have lesser to buy this time. I had to squeeze into my brand new Melissa shoes , and i felt my feet expanded after that.

it was uncomfortable for me at this point . Wear comfortable shoes ,
round shoes will be more comfy, 


 
 
The mummies was exchanging baby bumps phots on the forum and I was excited to show off mine too. :)

  Mama and Papa Koh bought :
  1. 3 sets of  romper with cardigan and pant at 250baht per set.
  2. Luavle Friends set of rompers at 300 baht
  3. headband and a socks(SGD $12).
  4. 4 Pair of slippers at 200 baht
  5. Royce's pants at 280baht
It was a good buy from Platinum Mall !!!
Happy Purchases

Maybe my stomach is bigger this time round. I had a lot of attention from women in Bangkok. They seemed fascinated with my tummy, or it could be the protruding belly button. They keep asking me how many months I am. I am intrigued by their fascination. Travelling in Bangkok, I felt tired all the time, I wore the new Melissa shoes that I bought the day before. I realised my feet expanded and it was a tight squeeze after wearing the shoes . I had to rest and stop at a café at Platinum , didn't had the energy I had before I was pregnant. Thank God for an understanding husband .
It was a satisfaction to be able to get so many stuff that you can't get in Singapore at the same price.

Trying to get good buys from Bangkok. I always wanted to buy Melissa shoes for Adele, from Royce's growth of his feet. I felt that Adele will outgrown them very fast. However I did manage to find Mel by Melissa with the same bubblegum smell at good price.
 

After the happy buys and purchases, we jet back to Singapore . Manage to get Royce a trolley bag . And Papa conveniently used as hand carry luggage. For Pregnant Mummies , please note that Changi Airport has priority queue for Taxis. I got a cab under 2 mins... :)

Look's who jetting back happily with his new found School bag :)
