Hi Kelly,
I bought the Impression Nursing Bras you were sharing with us yesterday. Finally.
They are great for homewear.
Thanks for the great recommendation!

How's Ed doing now? Wow! He's 2 weeks old already.
Is Gabe in school or home with you during your confinement?
 


augustmum,
so interesting! your baby so smart! I worry if we do feed FM and via bottle, later get nipple confusion or can;t get baby back on direct latching how?
 
Hi celine,
maybe you should do more squats then your dream may come true? hehe I also have farni dreams like seeing the whole pad red when I went to the toilet!
 
Hi piyo,

really hope that labour will be smooth. And I also hope to give birth earlier. tired of waiting. now baby is 2.3kg.

Dr Ang say the best baby weigh for me for natural birth will be 2.5/2.6kg. Anything more than that will be difficult for me becoz i am very petite. less than 1.5m in height.

If baby can come out next week, maybe the weight willjust be nice for natural birth. But i can't control it.......

augustmum,
meaning it's a risk we may have to take if we got no choice but to give FM?

celine,
guess you are those petite kind... talk more to baby then you will see your baby soon!
 
Hi, celine

u seeing Dr Ang also... look like quite a number of mummies r seeing Dr Ang....

Dr Ang also mentioned to me that if i wanted normal delivery, it is best that baby weight dont exceed 3kg....

Hi smlow,
Yeah, as Celine has shared, I got them from Seiyu - Bishan @ $9.90 each.
They have 3 colours - Nude, Beige &amp; Peach
 
hi celine, thanks for info. i was wearing mothercare nursing bra for my 1st born, but with this 2nd pregnancy, my breast has grown much bigger (really feel like a sagging cow now!!), and realised i cant really fit into the old ones. so gotta get some new ones, but don wanna spend on mothercare ones anymore even though i like it and quality is good, coz it's expensive and i'm not working anymore. only need to tie me over the first 2 or 3 months, and hopefully breast will down one size, that's what happened to me the last time, then hopefully can wear back the old ones....

Hi Celine,
They have another design too?
I was asking the sales person if there is any other designs but she replied that's the only one (at least over at Seiyu - Bishan).

hi augbaby,
the medela purelan 100 cream comes in 2 sizes, buy the bigger one more worth it. 37g, retail is $18.55, i got mine when there was a discount of 20% at Isetan (15% +5% for members). this was recommended to me by my gynae. I can also get it from him, but no discount lah. so this time i buy myself at dept store .... haha. 1 tube could last me a few months, coz i didn't use a lot. really help to soothe my cracked nipple the first few days, my nipples cracked till bleed.... everytime my son latches on, i'll be in tears coz it's very painful, lucky only for the first week, after that it was ok. You dont hv to remove the cream b4 breastfeeding if u've applied some on ur breast.
can also get the cream at Robinsons.
 
Hi Noe,

There's only 1 design for the nursing bra. But the tube bra is very comfortable to wear also. I bought 3 tube bras and 5 nursing bras. damn kiasu.....haha
 
Mummies,
i find a good way to do squat as and when. if your home is like mine those toilet which are squating one. Each time want to go visit toilet visit the squating one.. of cos don't squat 4 too long if not cannot stand up. :p

Hi Jasmine &amp; Piyo,
Thanks much for the recommendation &amp; referral for the Family Studio Portraits Promotion!
Benjamin is a patient man when comes to taking the shots with the boys.
kao_biggrin.gif
Wah ha ha ... He bribed them with Smarties chocolates!
Thought of sharing them with all of you -> http://community.webshots.com/album/552567336DMmsoU

Hee hee ... Their $98 Family Studio Portraits Promotion lasts till end of September in case you would like to have your shots done.
All in all we have 187 images including NGs of course lah ...
But it was a fun time for us though distracting too as we were trying to keep the boys away from the studio lights!!!

<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>

Hi Noe,
you mean bust line expand but not the bust itself huh?<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
Hi Piyo,
Yes yes ... Our bust size does increase!
Especially during the initial weeks of breastfeeding.
I went from Cup B to Cup C.
kao_sticktongue.gif

They will return to the usual size gradually though urm ... not as perk as before.

Wah ha ha CJ, you so funny.
Hmm ... They do return to our normal size leh after birth gradually. Any mummies experience otherwise?
 
Celine,

Is the tube bra for nursing too?

damn...should have done my homework first...I bought triumph ones...$40++ per piece...somemore bought four...Ouch...
 
Hi CJ/Noe,
Can maintain size after birth good liao1 what happens if it shrinks to less than b4 birth?

Hi Noe,
you so slim and young looking! and your 2 bois so cute!!!
 
piyo, i drank for strengthening the bb's skull, so i started earlier, when the development was going on.. for your case, i think u wanna drink coz when bb comes out, he/she wont be so bloody, rite?

coz i started earlier for different reasons, so i hv to stop at week 36, just in case it's too cooling for bb...

also i started earlier, coz 2nd trim is the period where all mommies will experience constipation n heatiness, rmb??

for me, i dun mind bb being bloody when she comes out, so i opt for the skull strengthening period to drink my coconut drink...like i shared when i started drinking mah...not sure if u ladies rmb reading it... =)

my colleague's bb's head is so nice n sturdy, u can tell once u look at his head!! i like it so much! haha...=P

I think nude colour bishan seiyu should have? think i seen it when i bought my tube bra 2 weeks ago.:)<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
kao_sticktongue.gif
Hi Celine,
I went there yesterday (just to buy the nursing bras).
They run out of it. Urmm ... Nude to me is the brown base leh not the Beige colour series.
 
noe,
aiyah, so disappointed dat it will reduce back in size later... but a consolation is dat dun hav to waste money to buy new bras n can still wear the old ones.
 


hi mummies,
apart from drinking coconuts for cooling effect, any other food/drinks we can take to make our body less heaty? I am worried baby will be too heaty when comes out of our womb. Any idea?

hi leobbsmum,
Ya.. me drinking so that baby dun come out so bloody and hopefully can cool down the baby also...
