There's still prescriptives in singapore? Thought they move out already? Is prescriptive the one that do custom made loose powder and foundation?
I swear by Christian Dior Anticerne Perfecteur concealer. Used it for years. The texture is just nice, and it provides coverage for the whole day. Perhaps you wanna go try it out later.
Oh ya, can help me see whether this brand of comestic still around? Christian Breton. I used to saw it in Isetan Wisma last yr. It's loose powder is sooooo good! But dunno where they move to leh. Thank you thank you.

toking abt confinement...just read this article....too bad, singapore dun have such thing
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
How about a room at the Confinement Hotel?
In Beijing and Shanghai, a new type of hotel has emerged which caters exclusively to mothers facing confinement. Moms are pampered, allowed to bathe and provided with televisions, queen size beds, post-partum care and neonatal swimming facilities.
Moms get their own private bathrooms and the in-laws sleep on hide-a-beds. Stays at these hotels cost between $360 to $400 US per week and are doing a booming business.

celeste,
Prescriptive is the one that do custom made loose power rite? If so, they move out already. Moved out last yr also, lots of people went to stock up on the products. But Malaysia still have Prescriptive. Hehe. It's like that one. Concealer can last for a very long time! I'm also hunting for my Christian Breton. Went orchard last week, shocked to see it longer there. Dunno where they go.. haiz.. I love the loose powder.
okasan,
Your description so funny. But ya lor, I wonder my mom will let me on fan or not. If not, then bb will really be drinking sweat.

I think the CD concealer about $38 the last time I bought it.. Can't remember leh.. cos one tube last very long. 15 ml per tube. I use everyday still got a lot. This is my second tube, can see how much I like it. Hehe. Erm, they have another one which is good too. Called hydrating eye concealer or something. But that's small and finished easily. Not cheap too.
Thanks thanks. I was wondering did that counter move from one isetan to another.

Thanks for telling me about the dry shampoo! Horrors! I have nvr thought abt the flakes dropping onto baby! My fren wanted to pass me hers as she didnt like to use it.
celeste,
Haha, personally I have nv been to KL wor. The furthest I went to is Penang, and the nearest is City Square. No one to go shopping with me at KL, so no point gng too. And I'm not those who will travel to go shopping one. Even if it's orchard rd, I must think and think. Hehe. Lazy bones lah!
I got one fren who can travel to Bangkok every few mths to shop one. I told her might as well migrate there.

Hi Celeste Blur,
My mum told me to bathe warm water with herbs. And the whole pail of water for bathing must be boiled before bathing. Cannot mix with any cold water from the tap. Dunno why leh heee... but anyway that time my SIL did that and she told me it was very very hot. After bathing still sweat like crazy.

Kite,
I find red star restaurant dim sum very good. But pls call to reserve seats especially on weekends. I dunno about sat, but sun is horrible! The queue is very very long and the whole restaurant is soooo crowded! They are those push-cart style. Yummy! Yup, ala carte only. The dim sum tastes very fresh

Hello all,
Agreed with Okipoki.Tung Lok's egg tart is just the best.Mini and not too sweet...u all still talking about the dim sum..
Hidora,
I did folo the traditional way of confinement during my first delivery.Maybe that is during Oct of the year,so i still can tahan but i did wipe myself every morning with warm cloth. I strongly believes that touching of water during confinement do affect our healt, especially,Feng Si.Cos during confinement i took care of my bb all by myself,hence,i touch water very often.After some period,i can feel my feet numb once in a while.So i rather choose to suffer for one mth for not shower than suffering those backaches blar blar blar during old age.

JoJo,
My stomach also tightens at time ... this is know as BH contractions. Many mums were telling me that first time mum could expect their baby to pop out two weeks earlier than the EDD.

KK,
One of my colleagues who had given birth said that she used Drypers for her son in the morning and use pampers at night cos' pampers is more absordant. I saw from other threads that Nepia and Sealers are highly recommended too. I brought a pack of Nepia and Drypers and will most likely get a pack of Pampers to try it out on my little princess and see which is better.

Calling all MTBs, I believe all of us have been bz shopping for our little one in the past few months ... hmm, dun forget about ourselves too. The things that are needed during our confinement month!
1. Pads: Kotex Adhesive are widely recommended. I brought two packs of mothercare brand to try it out.
2. disposable panties: i brought it from Seiyu. The brand name is Impression. Feel like cotton, very comfortable.
3. comfortable clothes to wear during the confinement month! We will be giving birth in the hottest season of the year! I stocked up cotton tees from Warehouse

BTW, will most of the babies be fed on fixed formula or purely BF? For those on formula, what brand of milk powder will you be getting for the little one? Similac or Enfalac?

Home Cleaning Services:
Btw, any of you using "Home Cleaning" Services before? Can recommend? Need to do a thorough spring cleaning in early May before I pop ... I've no maid, so don't want my mum to be tired out ...

Paula,
I am expecting my second bb liao.Previously i do not encounter tummy tight but i still had my delivery early say about 3 or 4 days early ba.
Talking about durian..i ate some yesterday bought from Geylang but not tasty at all...cos they are sweet..i prefer those 'ku ku' de..so hard to find.
By the way, mummies!
I read from other threads regarding normal delivery about cleaning our wounds.Previously,i was given those liquid like to wash my wound..but it is terribly 'hot' on the wound.Got some advise from the mummies in that thread,you can choose to use salt put in bathtub (if u got any at home) or pail with warm water.Sit on it to wash the wound..they were saying that is soothing..i will try then.
