jumbo, maybe you want to try this. i got the idea from UK forum. they don't hv confinement food but what they do is pre-cook and freeze meals so that they just hv to take out and re-heat. not sure if that is good for confinement food, but since yr mum was confinement lady, maybe she can cook and freeze, then she doesn't need to rush back and forth so much.

Hi all
Thanks for all of your concern. I visited my gynae yesterday. She did a Cardio Test for my bb and she is fine. Thank goodness. Then, she examined my vagina and rectum to check where the bleeding came from. She said everything seems normal, so I could be bleeding from piles or haemorrhoids.
Anyway, just glad that bb is fine. Jumbo, your bb is so cute.... Heard BF is difficult at first. But must not give up easily or stress yourself. My antenatal class teacher said must stay positive so that the milk flow will be there.

jilian, good to start early for the preparation lah.. me also last minutes, got the breast pump day after i discharge, havent buy the nite light..
sggal, my mum will do the cooking at her stall and bring the food up for me.. her food stall just a blk away from the house, quite convenient..
daphne, i got episiotomy during delivery.. was on epidural also.. cos cant tahan the contraction.. and had spend an hour pushing baby out.. when baby almost out, the doc just do the episiotomy and baby out without me knowing.. but had more than 10 stitches after tat.. think most of the doc will do tat.. maybe can talk to ur doc to avoid doing it.. unless no choice..
lemontree, i'm still struggling with expressing bm.. cos trying to catch some nap whenever i can.. but will try to express it whenever i can.. very tiring but all worth it

1sttimemum,
Ok. Will remind you, if I don't forget myself.
Chenoa,
Me me me!!! Stomach sometimes rock hard sometimes soft. Asked gynae last Fri he said this hard-soft is Braxton Hick's. I told him but I don't feel the tightening sometimes, cos sometimes I touch it's hard, sometimes I touch it's soft. But he said yes it's Braxton Hick's. So nothing to worry about.

1sttimemum,
Don't chase after bus. Not worth it. Rock hard/Soft is the feeling when you press on your tummy. Not the strength of your baby's kicks.
Hunniepot,
Yeah now my baby's kicks not like last time also I feel. Maybe cos he running out of space. Then plus this BH, sometimes I think I cannot differentiate. But as long as can feel baby's movements (not necessarily kicks) 10x a day is ok, that's what my gynae says.
Re: Snacks
I'm making the raspberry leaf tea too and bringing some dried biscuits for myself. For hubby I bought him a pack of ribena and cup noodles! Hehe.. Problem with TMC is after certain time, no food around, so if want food gotta drive out. We plan to take taxi to hospital because the car park charges are so cut throat!

Shylyn, Babe,
Yeah I thought the talk was quite informative. Dr. Goh is funny and Dr. Ong is the PD my gynae recommended to me, which I will use him first. Eh nobody answered me in time before I left, if not can say hello to each other!
I get slight discomfort sometimes all over the stomach, sometimes at the bottom, sometimes at the top.
If it goes away, I don't think it's contractions. But if you're concerned, best call your gynae.

Shylyn,
Yes, Dr. Ong is based at TMC and AMK if I'm not mistaken. You can check his namecard in front of the booklet we were given. The thing is, if you don't already have a PD, your gynae will recommend one to you. Cos you need a PD to check on your baby at the hospital before they let baby be discharged. That is my understanding. Of course you can get your own but then I'm not sure what the procedure is then. Anyway I thought I just get him first. Later then find another one. Also there are a few GPs and baby clinics right opposite my place at Marine Parade.
Yukie,
You not planning to bring a few breast pads in case your breasts leak? Remember to bring your hubby's things if he staying with you.
