Hi Hong,
if I calculate lower kg - current kg, then I put on 14.3kg liao !!! OMG!
Mummies,
I know some MTBs have bought the waist binder from Guardian Pharmacy, wonder what size to get ?? base on current waist line ??
Also, can we switch on air con during confinement? The thought of confinement really makes me sianz

Hi Sleepygarfield,
Today is the 2nd day of 34 weeks. My girl is only 1.9kg and yours already 3kg!! Wow .... my girl abit slim leh while mummy a bit too fat .... kekeke
Actually you are like 1 of my friends, she put on 20 kgs and shed off more than 20kgs in just few months. You also managed to shed all within 2 months ... so good. I just hope to shed all by the time I am back to work.

Sometimes just very angry with myself, how come with such a poor appetite and gastric problem, i still can gain so much weight???and it's beyond my control yet gynae keep warning me to eat lesser, i'm already eating very little leh..
I think i'll need cambridge diet this time to help me lose weight.
By the way, i used the OSIM tummy binder during last confinement, it comes in 2 types, 1 for natural delivery, the other for c-section. Find it quite good but can be quite warm when u're wearing it.

Hi lala,
My bb was 1.6kg at 33wks. Now 35 coming 36wks, 2.2kg. I put on 2kg for the 2wks plus. don't give up ok!!!! Eat well ok.
Hi Sleepy Garfield,
I've poor appte too but I force myself to eat more meat n fish. these days, nauseous coming back.maybe metabolic drop. don't worry, almost there liow...
Sandy,
don't scratch out. Coloustrum is yellowish and clear. when dry, more yellow. For me, when I moisturise the nipples, the dried out colostrum will sometimes come out like dried little blackheads. The next day, will get clogged again. its normal.

Hi Kin,
Thanks for the encouragement. Hope baby will "jia you"
How I wish Jul comes quickly ... each day is like a dread liao, so tiring.
Check with you, I intend to bring my breastpump to hospital to stimulate more milk, if colostrum is pumped out, must store the colostrum? Sounds like a stupid question but I really have no clue coz trying not to confuse baby, thus only latching her on.

Kin,
so that mean mummies with coloustrum will have milk for baby?
I think i will continue use stretch mark cream for nipple area until delivery.
Mummies,
do u find your breast skin area become darker in skin color.. at first i thought is died skin that i never rub off properly, but no matter how i rub it is still the same..

Hi Sleepygarfield,
I will go find out the current price.
Hi Jazzyjas,
Don't know leh ... think I may calculate the weight from the 1st visit to gynae. I will bathe and wash hair but not the 1st 10 days I guess. Subsequently, shower on and off.
MTMs,
My relative gave me a OTO slimming belt. Wonder can I use it during confinement ??

Hi Lala,
My mum forbids me to bathe and wash hair during the 1st 12 days, however, i get to sponge my body with warm water mixed with rice wine twice a day, otherwise i think i'll stink like a pig! After 12 days everyday can bathe but with herbs, only wash hair on alternate days.
I think u can see the price of the slimming belt from Osim website.

hi lala,
Not a stupid question. Colostrum is known as the first milk which is v impt for bb. It contains antibodies that the bb need .see this link for more info.
http://www.lalecheleague.org/FAQ/colostrum.html
won't confuse bb at all. I intend to bring my pump to pump just in case too. But for me, each time I pumped only 30ml each time. My bb stayed 10 days in hospital so I had no chance to really breastfeed her directly. To tell you the truth, direct bf will stimulate more milk flow rather than the pump itself in the beginning as your body is trying to stabilise milk supply. hope this helps.
jazzyjas, yah like tiny white dots. If you try removing it, it will definitely come out. Actually, i itchy fingers and will remove all i see if i can.the only thing is thateven if you remove will still come back. nipple won't be sore. I was saying when bb comes and latch on,you will be surprised how strong the bb's suction and latch is and sometimes, if latch on wrongly, can bleed and get blisters. The soreness will go away after a while. the moisturising is like to moisturise the whole nipple so it will not crack easily while you bf.

Hi Kin,
Thanks for the link. I am intending to let baby latches on and after she has enough, I will pump.
Hi Sleepygarfield,
When we are hot and sticky, nothing beats cold shower. I cannot imagine how smelly I will be leh ... worse still, have to persist with the food wrap by massage lady.

lala,
actually the water that my mum prepared for me to bathe is quite warm, after bathing, i dont feel cooling at all, in fact i was sweating while putting on my clothes, but bathe just for the sake of hygiene.
Body still can wipe, what i can't stand is my hair during the 1st 12 days when i was not allowed to wash! It's so sticky & stink! Even when i use the dry shampoo to dry clean also doesnt help at all.

Lala,
yes, the dry shampoo makes the hair even stickier, i feel so uncomfortable after using it, but at least it helps to get rid of the smell..kekeke...
I dont think i can tahan my smelly hair for 12 days esp when i perspire alot during the first week, so no choice but to use it to kill the smell.

Hi sleepy garfield and lala,

re: bathing during confinment
my mum was very strict for my no 1. I hated it a lot, esp the personal hygenie and food. She only gave me a small basin of water with rice wine to wipe myself everyday. Once in a blue moon, can wash hair and bathe with herbal water. OMG!! No choice, staying with her then. But I secretly bath with warm water, but still cannot wash hair, else it's very obvious. I remembered when I went out for my post natal checkup, secretly went to salon and washed hair b4 going home.
For my no 2, my MIL is going to do confinement for me. She even reminded me to buy the herbs for bathing. Says must bathe everyday! ha ha! i'm so happy! just hope that my mum won't find out. Also, my MIL BF all her kids, so i guess she'll be encouraging and can give me advice. My mum dun believe in BF, keep saying I dun have enough milk, etc, etc... must formula feed... made me so depressed and stopped BF after 2 months.
My MIL will be looking after my no.2 after my ML. But i'm worried abt conflicts and different styles of doing things. At least, with our own mums, we can 'fight it out' calmly. That's why I'm contemplating infant care. Have registered at a infant care as back-up plan.

sleepy garfield,
The powder has a herbal,ginger, lavender smell. pleasant for me,but can't run away from the slight gingery smell.
The others, well I've used both the shampoo and wash. Becoz they are natural essential oil products, they are not very very soapy types.You will feel clean and smell a little gingery,herbal smell. They are like some organic soap wash products. (Personally, i think its a little expensive. Its cheaper to buy those packet herbal satchets to add into our bathwater. So much cheaper and bathe normally.) These wash don't lather up like soap bubbles. when I bathe for the first few days, I pour some into a basin of v warm water, together with some chinese white wine and wipe myself. I do this for 2 rounds, then i redo with clean warm water with again some white wine inside. don't mind them.When they mention warming, it doesn't really warms you up like keep you warm,that effect is v little. It is prob the properties of the ginger that keeps the skin "warm".I don't mind doing it coz since young, I suffer from lots of water retention and aches at my hands. so I will bathe in this manner for say 1-2 wks. But I spend a lot of time, making sure I'm clean due to breastfeeding.

fruitee,
After massage best not to bathe. The massage is warms the body, circulates the blood and opens the pores of your skin. If you bathe after that, your pores will be like a sponge and absorb the "wind and the water" while bathing,defeating the purpose of the massage. If you must bathe, like any chinese massage that you do outside, wait for at least 3 hrs before you touch water.
(that is if you believe.)

I will be delivering in Mt A instead.
HI all MTB,
I realise I am the most bochap mom here.. i already told my mom I'm going to bathe and wash my hair during confinement.. cos i'll be breastfeeding my bb, how can be so unhygenic..
Btw my mom will be doing my confinement and taking care of the bb after I go back to work..
I also hav this white tiny thing on my nipple.. also scratch it out so are we not suppose to get rid of them? so now must apply nipple cream ah?
I also wanted to bring along my breast pump to the hosptal in case i dunno how to breastfeed or if there's engorement.. i read from some thread the nurse scold when one of the mum pump used it..

Thanks for the reassurance, MTBs!
Will inform my obgyn on my next appt with regards to my swollen legs and hands.
Weight Gain ~ I too have gained lots of weight, at least 15kg liao. I am hoping that I will loose it after delivery and breastfeeding.
Confinement ~ MTBs, just wondering, how many months are you all doing the confinement? Me only doing for 1 month. Talking about bathing, I don't think I can tahan if I don't bath. So, I will bath but make sure that the water is hot enough and must make sure to wipe myself very dry after that too. As for the herbs, I saw it at Cheong Choon Store @ Chinatown.
Massage - As far as I know, we cannot bath or on the fan after the massage (at least for 3 hours). After that, can bath liao. However, as per my cousin, its better to ask your massage lady coz every massage lady uses different methods and herbs.
Colostrum - The colostrum is the liquid that is initially released by the breasts during the first 2-4 days after delivery. High in protein content, this liquid is very protective for the newborn. The colostrum, which the baby receives in the first few days postpartum, is already present in the breasts, and suckling by the newborn triggers its release. The process, which begins as an endocrine process, switches to an autocrine process; the removal of milk from the breast stimulates more milk production. Over the first 7 days, the milk matures and contains all necessary nutrients in the neonatal period. The milk continues to change throughout the period of breastfeeding to meet the changing demands of the baby.

I think Kin is right. cannot bath after massage.
Fruitee,
is not that oily and massage lady will bind ur tummy. It will be a waste to unbind it.
May be u ask the massage lady not to use too much oil on u.
Bathing - I thot shld bath at the hottest time of the day. Morning is still very cooling to me.
Aircon - do u all know we can sleep in aircon room during confinement. I thot cant but many of my frds and collick told me can. Just dun catch a cold and i have tried sleeping with aircon at the temp of 25-26.
Wind - nature wind more harmful. Fan is still ok, just dun blow directly.
Kin,
u bringing manual or electric pump to hospital?

Hey Mummies,
Not to worry too much bout our weight. Here's a estimated calculation of our extra weight.
1.Blood :1.0 - 1.5 kg
2.Breast :0.5 - 1.0 kg
3.Uterus :1.0 - 1.5 kg
4.Anmiotic Fluid:1.0 - 1.2 kg
5.Placenta :1.0 - 1.2 kg
6.Water Fluid :1.2 - 2.5 kg
7.Baby Weight :depending
Maternal Fat : (1+6)-7 = remaining weight/fats!!
It seem quite acceptable huh?
I was 43kg before preggie now I am 58kg at week 32. Haiz!

YT,

Sleepy Garfield,
What did you do to lose all the weight in 2 mths??
Kin,
I scratch out the dried up colostrum also...oops! So apply the nipple cream it'll come out by itself??....ok, I'll try.
Fruitee and Hong,
I plan to shower before the massage, then wipe clean after 3-4hours, the next day shower again.
Mummies,
I just bought the Qu1 Feng1 Cao3 for bathing during confinement. Heehee kiasu hor

For my no.1, my MIL did confinement for me and i was so miserable. She didn't let me bathe for one mth. Even want me do 40 days, I also wanted to commit suicide then. So many restrictions and worse, she didn't even let me carry my own bb.She calls my girlClara),"her Clara".I had the worse time in my life. Even when I was cleaning myself in the room also must watch me like an eagle.
So, for my no. 2 I told myself I will not let her do confinement for me at all. I got my mum instead. My mum also allows me to bathe everyday. But I will still do so with the herbs. I intend to sleep in air-con too. My chinese sinseh says air-con set at room temp is better than the fan(even indirect) as wind of any sort is still not so good. Also, for confinement food, i don't have to be forced to eat liver and kidney and ginger everyday. and drink thick red dates with herbs everyday( i was not allowed water).
You do what is most hygenic.If too stressed, milk supply will drop you know. I think better idea is bathe in the afternoon, massage, dong until next day, bathe in the morning after wake up.But of course you must wipe before you bf your bb. For me, I didn't let massage lady touch my breast at all.Some will ask you if you want, coz can stimulate more milk flow.
Sandy, the skin around the nipple,aerola will turn dark. In fact, the nipple too. that is part of pregnancy. To tell you the truth, mine didn't revert back to the normal colour at all after so many yrs. And yes, coloustrum is the first milk after which (depending on persons) will gradually turn to the white milk that bb normally feeds on. Pls don't ever throw the colostrum away as it is most precious to your little one. Before the white milk comes it, it will be a bit yellow-whitish, sometimes bluish first and after 1 mth, when you pump out, your milk will become more and more white(signalling the end production of colostrum.)Your body will know how to adjust accordingly. So its so impt to feed yr bb breastmilk the 1st mth esp.
Hong, Mine is the avent uno. Can switch between manual and electric. I'm not sure abt manual pumps coz I;ve only used electric ones.
disstan,
little dreamers shop is located at the warehouse at bishan together with the momsinmind office. need to make appt. Go to momsinmind.com.sg and look for the ebiz netwk link. Little dreamers is there. I usu order online together with the nursing wear from momsinmind.They don't really have a retail store anywhere.

Poppy,
I didnt' do anything particular to lose weight, probably cos i didnt gain much tat time, and i was breastfeeding and taking care of bb on my own most of the time, and kenna gastric problem after 2 weeks of confinement food, lack of sleep and bad appetite, it was a terrible period for me!. I didnt even realised i've lost all the weight till i went back to work and managed to fit in all my old clothes.

Re: Strep B
Hi Kin,
I did my strep b and tested positive. Also read up about strep b online, seems can be pretty serious. But the nurse only asked me to go and get antibiotics from the gynae, don't even need consultation. When I asked her at the counter how serious is this strep b, she told me it's just bacteria, so take medicine, kill it, then ok. If not baby come out, eyes and mouth when infected, cannot feed properly.
Anyone else did/doing strep b test? Any info to share?

Hi Sandy,
Thought not supposed to apply the stretch mark cream on nipple area? I'm using Mothercare brand now & the tube says specifically to avoid nipple area.

Hi decimal point,
My friend was tested positive for GBS as well. 2 solutions: either take antibiotics and get the GBS removed or on the day of delivey, gynae infects antibiotics via drips. Gynae usually advises patient not to go Internet and read too much coz will scare yourself. Just leave it in gynae's safe hands.
My friend has delivered and she had drips during delivery. Now bb 2 mths liao, both mummy & bb safe and sound
