I prefer the adhesive to the loop type. Hospital will give you a packet of loop pads. I don't like them cos I feel that it's loose and dangling. Not secure. My friend told me her lochia lasted a month so asked me to buy a month supply of pads and disposable undies. But I also dunno what size to buy. My friend said not to buy to tight cos will be uncomfortable esp for those having c sec.

Haven prepared anything for my hospital bag, nor confinement stuff so thanks all for the reminder on pads and disposable undies! Completely forgot.
I find the loop pads given by hospital too insecure so will be buying those nite use pads too. My lochia was also abt a mth, altho flow lighten considerably after 2 wks or so, thus able to use normal pads. Come to tink of it, i still hv a pack of the nite use pads frm last time. Does pads hv expiry dates?? Lol…

Hmm thinking about it.. I also havnt ordered confinement food yet. Need to do so by tml to taste. Jia you mommies!
Side note my baby cot will only arrive this saturday. I underestimate it. Should have requested for earlier delivery instead. Now still have to wash bb clothes, bedsheet, etc.. woah..

i didn't get any maternity loop pads. find those lousy cos they tend to bunch up in the middle and soak through the undies. very messy! bought Sofy ones instead. however this time round, the gynae cleaned me out very well. my lochia was very little, hardly and liver-like clots. and i only needed like normal pads.

Actually i dunno how loop kind looks like. i tried to google also cant imagine how to wear it..
yah mayb night wing is more comfy
Anyone start taking maternity leave?
My edd is mid of May still thinking when to start take leave. I really want to take on beginning may because it's so heavy to walk but also afraid wasting of time to wait for delivery. I only got 2 months maternity leave and my boss gave me additional 1 month to work from home.

My EDD is 10 May. I'm only starting my ML on 30th April. I also feel like starting the leave earlier but don't wanna waste leave doing nothing at home for too long...

@furbee @newbiemom.. not constant pain but its there. Especially when u stay at a position for a certain period of time eg. Sitting, lying down and u need to change postion or move around. I asked my hubby was it him who hammer or pretend to kick me down there while I was sleeping. Wahahahaha

W36 now. Feeling quite a bit of BH this week. Frequency is increasing.
I feel that bb is very low now but not engage yet.
For my previous pregnancies, always having contractions and pop at W37 or W38.
This time round BH is quite intense.
Think should be popping soon. Hope can tahan until W37.
Friday will be going to see gynae.
Anyone is having the same symptoms as me?

Mostly is my right leg cramping - calf usually, thigh, and once even foot. The rest, like lower back aching is like common liao. Can you all still sleep well at nite?? I cannot sleep, toss and turn trying to find the best position to sleep everynite, if not my leg will cramp Need to endure.
Been craving for so much junk food recently! Argh.... Just finished a pack of twisties. After having not eaten it in years lol.....

@MTB-2015 hope you are fine! All the best for you and the baby!
On a side note, my stretchmarks have started appearing and super itchy despite daily oils application after bath.
I think belly has recently started to expand too fast and the skin cannot cope with the speed esp during this last month of pregnancy.
Clarins oil was great but exp. I then switch to cocoa butter skin therapy oil and it's so runny, I think not moisturising enough. Going to switch back to Clarins now.
