we bought a vaccum cleaner, a dvd player, a kettle and other stuff, also we saw this DIY shelve at toyogo that we think we want to put in the store room, or else think my hubby would want to lug it all back in one go as well!

doggiebb, choo, dey,
If 3rd tri start at 27 weeks abit weird right? Though it 28 weeks. Me also blur. Tomorrow i will be 28weeks liao. So far hor i think i put on 9-10kg liao
sad.gif
. Wonder how to slim down after giving birth....sigh
 
Vanessa,
Its really really really painful, i'm tearing when the LC clear the ducts for me. She told me, aiyo your gal so notti, bite mummy. Somemore went there 2-3 times to be 'tortured' and pay money. But after that feel so relieved.

You also got it before ?
 
Vanessa,
how they clear the ducts huh? i think i'm imagining liao... will they poke poke poke? or use super powerful suction? no painkiller given? ahhhh..
uhoh.gif
 
Geri,

Ya lor, me too, me trying to move away from the pressure....haha... was it Mrs Wong who did it for u?

Shihui,
No lah, not so horrible as u tot lah, they just help u to massage ur breast, as when ur breast is engorge or have blocked ducts, they are actually very painful to touch, so imagine u are massaging it....
 
Shihui,
For TMC, they uses Madale Pump but those really power one lah. And there is a tube which the LC will use it to suck it to clear the ducts at the nipple, coz nipple has small little ducts that allow milk to flow. And at the same time they will massage your breast. The pain is massage and using the tube to suck, esp when your breast is engorge, aiyo they still massage...super super painful. After when the blocked ducts are cleared, than they will help you to express out the milk and store it for you to bring home for your baby.
 
Vanessa,
What do you mean by you try to move away from the pressure hah ? Ya Mrs Wong was the one, but she very good lah, very friendly and she tries to talk to you to distract you.
 
Vanessa/Geri,

wah... very scary leh... read liao can feel the pain!! can't imagine having to go thru it!!!...

Jackie,
lucky u!!... enjoy enjoy...

calynn,

ya lor. sometimes really wanna go down to e clinic. somemore mine is w/in walking distance fr my place. but my gynae is super buzy kind. will skip lunch to attend to patients n always reach e clinic earlier than e missy. clinic starts at 10am, 9+ he's already attending to patients liao. i feel v bad bothering him...

yet, can't help worrying. sometimes i'll call lor, n if he doesn't sound worried, i'll be instantly relieved!
 
choo, doggiebb,
my hb a bit "show-off" sometimes. heehee!
biggrin.gif
Keep telling me, "aren't you glad i'm so strong?" Haha! I just roll my eyes lor. =P anyway, he doing all the manual labour, so i better dun say anything. =P

Wah, doggiebb, u sure bot a lot of things at the Philips carnival! U must hv been there early. I was there almost 1pm i think... it was soooooo hot, all of us were sweating like pigs liao! And so crowded (my hb and me dun like crowds one), so we left lor. Otherwise I think i wld hv liked to buy a new tv. =P Oh well! There's always next year!

geri, vanessa, qwer,
wah! sounds soooo painful!!!
sad.gif
how to avoid blocked ducts??? massaging a bit now help or not?? I oredi stop wearing underwire bra cos scared of blocked ducts later.
 
geri,
u say until so pain until i am sooo scare. but everyone if bf & if bb dun latch well will sure hv blocked ducts one isit?

Vanessa,
i bellieve this is ur 3rd pregnancy, i sure u are more experience one bah. i oni scare that if bb dun latch well & cry cry cry. i might get post natal depression & end up let bb drink FM..
 
bobianah,
i was at the philips carnival too. bought the dect baby monitor, since i need the monitor to work across levels. $100 off the price, really worth it.

choo,
impressions can also be found in jl n metro.

qianhui, kimi, vanessa,
i put on 8kg liao.
 
Calynn, Bobianah, Jen,

Ya its quite painful loh...

Before breastfeeding, its encouraged to use warm towel to massage the breasts. Mine is because my gal bite me lah...painful leh.
 
Jackie,
Dun worry. I also put on 9-10kg already..I am so worried gynae will ask me to control diet when i visit her this Sat again
sad.gif


Geri,Vanessa,Gwer,
Must stop wearing underwired bra now meh? I am still wearing them leh.. When do we hv to start switching to nursing bra?
 
Hi Dey,

Actually am not sure about should we stop wearing underwired bra now. Me still wearing too. As per advise from Vanessa, think towards end 7th month we can start buying / wearing nursing bras.
 
bobianah,
u can avoid blocked ducts, but massaging it everytime before u latch ur bb on. Avoid underwire bra especially on times where u will get engorgement. Make sure ur baby emptied ur breast thoroughly will also helps.

Jen,
haha, though this is my 3rd pregnancy, but when it comes to breastfeeding, this is only my 2nd. To avoid ur situation, I always encourage MTB to attend talks from BMSG, cos it really helps.

Btw, ladies, we, as counsellor of BMSG will organise gatherings for MTB / currently breastfeeding mother to gather around to seek for more information and some chitchatting session every month. Those who might be interested to join us may let me know, I'll provide the details. This month, the gathering is either this Sat or next at Macpherson CC, if they are having it next Sat, I'll be there to meet them up, so anyone intereted just let me know.

<font color="0000ff">kimi,</font>
i'm gg to 28 wks in 2 days time (I think)...sometimes really lost count how many wks I'm now, hee hee....
happy.gif


<font color="119911">dey,</font>
i stopped wearing underwired bra few mths ago liao cos I find it very uncomfy lor. b4 pregnant, i don't find it uncomfy leh. i think as soon as u don't feel comfortable, change to a non-wired one.
happy.gif


<font color="aa00aa">Jen,</font>
hee hee...it's ok lah... :p later after work dunno got energy to go Bugis Seiyu or not. juz now lunch time went downstairs for lunch. tummy tightened leh...then i feel so tired to walk like that. now sit down in aircon office feel much better.
 
Geri,Vanessa,qwer,

so we shd change our bras to nursing bras at 8th mth? but i often see those nursing bras material like very thick leh..like can see nipples...
 
choo,
ya, some nursing bras are quite thin and can see nipples protuding, like I've recommend b4, spring maternity nursing bra will not hav that problem.
 
Do we need to buy a size bigger for the nursing bra just in case our breast grew bigger during breastfedding?
 
dey,
if u r buying ur nursing bras at 7th or 8th month, there shouldn't be a need to purchase a size bigger. but just in case, I will recommend ladies to purchase 1 or 2 pcs first to standby.
 
Vanessa,
In this case, I would wait till 8th or 9th month then buy the nursing bras..I am still ok wearing my normal bras..
 
Vanessa, geri,
how to massage breasts? any "proper way"? Like 2 hands, rub in circular motion...etc?

I think I only buy nursing bra in 8th or 9th month. Not wearing nursing bra till bb born la. Now I wear non-underwire can liao, cos like qwer, I find it uncomfortable as breast getting bigger and the wire leaves a red mark...means too tight.
 
geri, dey and qwer, i am still wearing underwired strapless as most clothes are sleeveless or tubes. Used to be really uncomfy till recently i changed to bigger sizes.

Vanessa &amp; Bloom, think i will go for the 2pm tour.
 
bobianah,
Will u be attending any antenatal class or talks from BMSG? If u have, it will be better for u to ask the person to show u, more clearer. but u r rite, rub in circular motion.
 
Yap like Vanessa said, massage in circular motion. Frankly sometimes i don't even have time to massage, coz my gal hungry hah, cry until like what...i quickly latch her on liao, dont even have time to massage...hhhaa..
 
QSG,

good that u decide to go for the tour, anyway it's free, no harm going
happy.gif


So this Sat if I saw someone coming in around my time slot with sleeveless or tubes then I can suspect it's u liao....
happy.gif
 
vanessa
yup, attending the MtA antenatal class... will ask them, but want to start a bit of massaging now too when I put on moisturiser lor.
happy.gif

Everyday i wonder if a stretch mark will appear... haha! =P
 
Geri,

ya, ya, ya, true, how to really massage when the bb is crying....haha.. but mayb can try this time round to massage after feeding and then pump lor....
happy.gif
 
Geri,
haha, by doing so, I think we will get plenty of milk... so no worries of milk supply....haha... but i heard hor, even if this is 2nd times u r breastfeeding, sore nipple will still happen, so hopefully, I can latch on properly to prevent sore nipple....
 
Vanessa,
hhee oh yeah...amen for plentiful of milk supply.
The best remedy for sore nipple is our breast milk.
Last time when i heard the LC said that, i was a bit skeptical..but when tried it, very true leh, coz the sucking and pumping causes my nipple to be sore, so i use the breast milk and applied on it, it heals really fast man.
 
Geri,
Ya, I've tried that too, during my initial stage of this pregnancy....really works better than any other cream available in the market.
happy.gif
But nevertheless, if sore nipple happens, we still have to bear with the pain till the nipple heal...
 
wow..really alot of postings to catch up...by the time i finished browsing the postings..i forget who say wat...oops..anyway, thks for the info on good bras...

oO..wow..those ducts topic really sound very scary leh..kinda wondering now m i on the right path to BF? anyway, tink must try...even if i cried or feel very painful during the process cos it's good for both mum n bb...it's the price to pay loo~ furthermore, got vanessa n geri to help..hehehe...^^
 
Vanessa, Geri, Qwer,
wah... seems like everyone who bf will experience block duct hor.. listen liao very scary leh... hope i will hav the determination to persist with breastfeeding even if i got all these.. choy choy.. :p

btw, i bought this Gerber Breast Therapy Warm/cool Relief Packs during taka bb fair leh.. hopefully it will work well..
happy.gif
the promoter ask me to apply the warm pack b4 bf... can help stimulate flow..
happy.gif
 
I got my glucose test results back! Doc says everything is ok!
happy.gif
Ever since the last time they called abt our triple test results and asked to go back and see the doc, my hb has been very "scared" abt getting test results... =P Well, we keep praying for a healthy bb.
