Morriane,
I check with my gynae yesterday and he told me that he would not operate on me on the fibroids frist as he say it might shrink after birth...so still considering to go through C-section or natural birth leh....
BTW, Do we have to get the Dry Shampoo and Massage oils? Can I know what brand is recomendable?

Ruff,
You can get those herbal bath packs from any chinese medical hall. you just tell them for confinement one, they will give you the correct ones. My mum bot from the medical hall in our neighbourhood.
Nutnuts and all mums to be,
Yes, it's definitely time to pack your hospital bag and put them in your car or ur hubby's car, our babies can pop anytime from now...
Nutnuts,
I bot a bottle of dry shampoo from guardian pharmacy. Brand i think is Kolane, white bottle one. it comes in a spray form. However, I am still contemplating to using it during my confinemnt leh, cos my mum said last time she used (other brand) dry shampoo and her scalp turned out to be flaky and has lotsa of dandruffs. I heard similar comments from other pple using dry shampoo too.

Hi Kris,
Can I check with you if it is really necessary to bath the bb with tap water mixed with BOILING WATER? Can we just replace the boiling water with those from the shower tap on to the maximum heat?
What's the reason behind using boiling water, those boil to 100 deg using kettle?

Hi Fiona,
Thanks for your info... I dun think it is a need to mix tap water with BOILING WATER... as long as you are using the water from the heater. Maybe for the first few months, you can do it but after that it is okie.
Some ppl believe that Boiling water is more warmer than tap water...
ClarisseMummy, I got to start washing already. I have already hurry my mom to help me with it....Nowsaday, getting tired easily so hardly can do much plus my baby like to move ard so much inside that made made can't do anything....Sigh

Jenifur.. Congrats!!!
Fast Janelle!
About boiling water to bathe baby.. I asked the same question too.. What the midwife at NUH said was that water from tap that is hot is enough...

Inc, think each hospital provides different things.. I'm at NUH, they provide diapers and breast pump..
good morning to all mummies. juz woke up as usual.
its raining now.. those mummies who wants to wash ur baby's stuffs.. i think better do so soon.. the weather has been quite wet recently though. mm..
me as usual, can't really sleep tat well at night.. and not to mention.. my son is up and kicking me.. as early as 7am.. when i don't even need to go to work!

inc: i'm bringing a new pack of disposable diapers to the hospital cos the hospital charges quite high for theirs. as for breast pump, i'm not bringing. prefer to let baby suckle...
puea: it's true...Jenifur has popped! gynae cannot tell when you'll deliver actually...they will normally say "a baby is considered full-term if borned after week 37...normally babies come between 36 - 38 weeks"...that's what my gynae told me...so i prepare loh...

Kris,
Thanks for the advice on contractions. I guess they are false contractions lah cos i didn't experience any last nite. My sister told me, she experienced false contractions a few nites before her real contractions come..then she delivered her baby. Hopefully my baby is on her way to come out soon lor. Agree with Mrs Tan, this waiting game seems to be so long for us, though we are only like 16 days away.
Sneaky,
You do not need to bring your own bb's diapers. Mt. E will provide about 12 pcs of pampers NB size one. They are usually more than enough. However, if you prefer to wear those non-loop maternity pads, do bring along yours, cos hosp will provide those with loops one, which can be quite uncomfortable.
hi Inc,
As for whether to bring breastpumps, usually hospital will provide. However, like what Sneaky said, if we have time, it's better to let our bb latch on directly,to stimulate the milk glands, rather than using breastpump. Do remember dat the first few days the milk supply is close to none. So no point pumping rite?

kuririn: take care of yrself ah..

(for suffering) haha... time is precious. four more weekends for me. hehe..

mrstan: indeed, we're only 17 days away...i kinda hope baby comes out NOT now but during this weekend or after that cos i'm still having cough leh...doc says i had better recover from it else it will be quite painful for me to be coughing after delivery cos of the wound...
Hi Kris,
forgot to ask you this. For real contractions, is the pain bearable and mild type in regualar intervals, or issit those that are so painful that you can't even walk and talk properly? My colleagues told me it's the latter, but my sister told me it's the former, though my sister's threshold for pain is as low as mine. Strange. I guess I better find out first just in case I experiene some contractions in regular intervals, got myself admitted into hospital and later they check and send me home.
Sneaky,
Ya true, coughing can really agitate the wound and it definitely hurts. Hope u get well soon so dat ur bb can come out soon after u recovered.
Adel,
hmmm Can we drink coffee and tea? heehe. and effectively u will have less than 4 weekends if the bb decides to pop earlier. but u r rite, time is precious to us now...dat's why my husband always comes home earlier to keep me co. and we will spend our weekends outside...I guess once bb is out, we will hardly have any private time with our hb.

Hi Sneaky,
u mean one day 12 feeds? so many? I see my colleagues and sisters, they still left a few pcs of pampers to bring home leh...hmm guess I KS abit, bring along my own just in case not enuf. To buy from the hospital is definitely gonna be costly.
Hi Kris,
Thanks once again. I just checked with my cousin, she said when she experienced mild and bearable pain (not in regular interval) which went off after a few hours, she called her gynae and her gynae asked her to get herself admitted into hospital. The gynae didn't perform any check on her and just broke her waterbag once he arrived.
I have another colleague, who experienced the same thing as my cousin, admit into hospital, nurse or gynae checked and there's no dilation or watsover, then were asked to go home after staying in the hosptial for a day...
Same mild contraction, but different way of handling..strange...I am so confused. Hopefully mine is either a show or waterbag burst...straightforward and no confusion. hehe.

wish that i am in the streets of paris/venice/italy... sipping my tea/wine away while i watched passer bys... busying with their own stuffs. mm.. how relaxing. coz now am on leave le.. nothing to do everyday.. see and read the postings everyday.. sleep..
life's like a bit aimless lor..
life's like a bit aimless lor..
fiona: imagine baby crying for milk every 2 hrs...that makes abt 10 - 12 feeds a day, right? wah...how did they manage to bring home some? maybe that's their 2nd packet leh?? indeed, hospital charges every damn thing up to cotton butts and they are costly...
in fact, i'm also quite confused abt the contractions...wonder how it feels to be real and whether i will recognise it or not...
