ellysia,
After burn my pocket for such a big hole, i must hardworking sourcing. haha... tats why go to library and borrow some books to read up. I'm not sure how much is overdose loh and the book din explain in details. And i saw in another thread, some mummies recomended take 3pills after each meal for 3 times a day for continuos till ur BM is established thens lowly reduce the doses. Then my qn is 9pills will be overdose? I dont want my bb to get colic, very 'cham' leh. Of course, if my milk supply is ok, then i dont had to resort into taking fenugreek lah, but now trying to look for alternative as standby, in case.

Crystal,
The gender prediction kit which I read in one of the magazines is being sold at Maternity Exchange (Marina Sq) and the brand is Intelligender. Can refer to this link for details.

Ellysia,
I am 31weeks as of yesterday, and still dont have leaking colostrum like you, i read this article jut awhile ago, maybe you will get the answer from it.
Leaking breasts and Braxton-Hicks contractions
You may have noticed some leaking of colostrum, or "premilk," from your breasts lately. Some expectant moms experience this leaking, others don't. Either way, you can rest assured that your breasts are doing what they need to do to prepare for feeding your baby.
Have you noticed the muscles in your uterus tightening now and then? Many women feel these random contractions — called Braxton Hicks contractions — in the second half of pregnancy. Often lasting about 30 seconds, they're irregular, and at this point, they should be infrequent and painless. Frequent contractions, on the other hand — even those that don't hurt — may be a sign of preterm labor. Call your practitioner immediately if you have more than four contractions in an hour or any other signs of preterm labor: an increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge (if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody — even if it's pink or just tinged with blood); abdominal pain or menstrual-like cramping; an increase in pressure in the pelvic area; or low back pain, especially if you didn't have it before.
Why are my breasts leaking?
Any fluid leaking from your breasts is a sign that your body is preparing to feed your baby. What you're seeing is colostrum, a yellowish fat-rich substance that will nourish your baby before your actual milk comes in a few days after birth. Your body starts producing colostrum in the last few months of pregnancy, and any leakage is a sign that things are right on track, says Katy Lebbing, a board-certified lactation consultant with La Leche League International. "If you don't have leakage, that's normal too," she says. "It's just your body's natural way of doing things."

Ya, the gender prediction tester tat i saw in the mag is the one Tera's posted out.
Ellysia/ Tera,
All i can remember is dont sterilise the tube. Then she oso told me the motor must put either higher or same level while expressing else sometimes the milk will back flow.

Morning gals
Me down with cough again
Whole nite cough and cough, breathless and cannot sleep, have difficulty breathing.. now like zombie in office... was scheduled to see gynae tmr.. managed to push it to today instead.. now zombie in office waiting for time to pass faster so can go see gynae...
Me down with cough again
hey girls, i've been so busy with work it only just hit me that i'm running out of time!
Looks like my EDD will be brought forward to 3rd wk May. For the 1st time, doc told me bb's weight is 1.4kg & i'm alr almost 33wks. What's the normal range anyway? Sounds a little small...

soo,
although the weight of your bb sounds a little small, but it is just an estimation based on the measurements your gynae took from the size of the head n stomach of your bb, so it may not be the actual weight of your bb, do not be too worried, heard from the other ladies that mayb durian will help to have bigger bb

no more durian for me! I took a lot during 2nd tri thinking it'll help bb grow & also coz of cravings. End up i'm so darn fat now, but not much weight going to bb.
Dunno about the rest of you, but i'm alr 14kgs & looks like i'm still growing *cringe*
oh ya...something else doc told me. Don't take too much durian. Some bbs dev higher risk of eczema coz the mama took too much durian

Ellysia, Felicia
Black dates i've heard ok. Actually if we doing confinement food ourselves, I understand there there are certain food to eat at different period. First we have to eat those that get rid of the wind and cleanse for a week or so, then eat those that bu thereafter.

Hi all, after delivery in hospital, what will u gals be wearing? front-button nighties or? Can share with me where to buy the nighties?
My EDD is 15-June. so think i better start buying.
For those who have piles, it's good to avoid spicy food. I encounter this at the start of my 3rd trimester n ask my gynae what can i do to reduce it. And true enuf, after i eat less of curry, mee rebus, etc, the piles stopped! =)
Having bad cough and no voice these 2 days, so on mc to rest at home. Have difficulty sleeping at night. keep coughing. it's quite easy to have some leakage when the coughing gets really hard. =( super sianz. practise the kegels exercise also like no use. haiz...
Gonna see the little one later! I guess after today's checkup, it shld be once every 2 weeks. Wonder how heavy is bb now. haha... one month ago at 27 weeks ard 1kg.
