icylemon, the ones I got can be used for cooking, but they can also be used for direct application cos the texture is light and easily absorbed. There are some that are used for cooking, the texture is v heavy and it will not be absorbed by the skin.
Mine is not cramping, mine is more like the mucles pulling...
Milderina, I like mango, apples, peach, prunes, apricots...You can see what they have and you buy what you like
I still use vinegar in my salads and cooking. My mum says a little is alright, it's not like you are drinking vinegar by the bottle...
I still drink my daily apple cidar vinegar with honey
My couz say it depends on individuals...some pple their first child all come early, then subsequently will be nearer to EDD...
But for my mum and all my other couz, all delivered late...for me and my siblings, we were delivered 10 days after EDD, and it is induced...
For my couz's kids, all were induced 5 days after EDD...

icylemon,
wow your colleagues so nice.
ya, the size of the baby is the most accurate. but hor knowing your ovulation day also very accurate. hahaha........cos i know the exact date i ovulated so i know when i conceive. in the beginning my gynae gave mi an earlier date then i still tell her its not but she say she calculate from day 1 of my last menses de not my ovulation day. then during my week 7 check up she re-confirmed my EDD which is the one i calculated online earlier. kekekek......

Btw, for those giving birth mid Jan till end jan, full month will be during CNY...
I just spoke to my caterer, she says that it will be hard to get catering at tt time, so once you give birth and confirm the date you want to have the full month celebration, quickly book the catering and cakes...

Icylemon, it is for building up immune system and clearing your intestines. We eat alot of junk everyday. Some if this junk we eat will actually line the intestines and prevent nutrients from being absorbed. ACV will help clear the intestines
Plus alot of pple drink this to lose weight (worked for my mum)...
Milderina, I was asking my caterer if she can extend my vouchers I got from my wedding ma...extend so that I can use during baby's full month celebration...so she told me usually CNY their chefs go back to Msia or on leave, so if wanna order, have to do it early...
CNY I'm sure my frens and relatives will still come
They love any celebration and gathering...even we hold durian party for no reason also got full attendence
But anyway, I'm sure they will come visit during CNY even if no full month celebration

milderina, ur EDD at least is same as wat u calculated online. Mine b4 check doc, i calculated online is 15 jan, then doc first time said is 15 jan. Later as i told u all b4, changed to 20 jan. But then this is impossible leh, cos i remembered my first day of menstrual and my average cycle too. So i use the online calculator to calculate backwards for 20 jan, in order to obtain my actual first day menstrual, my average cycle has to increase few more days, n i said it is impossible bcos those fertile days i didnt do it leh, so how to become pregnant.
Bluegrapes, pig trotters is one of the confinement foods lei...y cannot eat? My frens and couz also eat and breastfeed lei...nothing wrong ma...
I agree the catering and cakes v troublesome during CNY period..cos alot of businesses close! or the chef on leave! But my caterer promise she will handle for me, buffet and cakes, just need to let her know once I give birth...
Confinement nanny I'm not getting le...my mum will help me with our 2 maids...
But my mum already start sourcing for good wine and vinegar to cook for me...cos she know I v greedy and v fussy about food...haha...I heard got pple specially go Msia to buy home made wine to cook confinement foods, anyone knows?

oic oic.think i must have mistaken...maybe its chicken wine (Ji Jiu) that we cannot eat cos it contains wine. My sis in law told me woman who are breastfeeding shouldn't take pears cos it will result in air and her bb kept crying cos her milk has air.

Mrs Wong, I still haven't collect the olive oil from you.
Icylemon, my caterer promised she will charge me normal rates, no increase in price during CNY
My parents dun want Bengawan Solo vouchers. They say not sincere, must buy cakes with eggs and ang gu kueh and deliver from family to family. They will be in charge of doing that, I just need to order the cakes.
Breast pump my fren is giving me hers. Don't buy yet, cos not everyone will have enough milk to pump out. Plus when you annouce your pregnancy, alot of pple will pass you their stuff or buy for you...
I will only buy when confirm I got enough milk to continue expressin when go back to work. And I will get those that are easy to bring out...
Steriliser I'm going to use the traditional method, unless someone gets it as a gift. I find it a waste of space...
Doggiebebe, your mum knows how to make the wine? Can share how to make? My mum v interested in the wine cos she say 2nd tri must start eating some confinement foods which she will cook for me...so she wants to get the wine fast...
Bluegrapes, my mum also breastfeeding cannot take pear...but during pregnancy, my mum tell me to buy big yellow pear, remove the skin and seeds, put into slow cooker with red dates, longan and rock sugar...then drink it every week...she says it is good for baby...
The buffet is meant for full month onli...my mum is social butterfly..she got alot of frens tt need to invite...plus my relatives alone will need 50pax for buffet le...then still got me and my hubby's frens??
The caterer promised to give me a special menu...dunno what she will give me though..hehee..maybe same menu as my wedding

i oso agree using the tradtional way to sterlise the btls. but colleagues told me tat i wont have the time to do the boiling one leh...
anyway i was hinking of buying the manual breast pump. no one want to give me theirs... coz they still need to use. plus manual one cheaper wor.
nowdays, i walked past kiddy palace saw those cute cute baby clothes, wanted to buy... but now like too early.

Icylemon, that's what the confinement nanny is for! heehee...
It's too early for pple to buy anything for you...when you are in late 2nd tri or 3rd tri, the presents will start coming in...
My couz onli needed to buy extra milk bottles to store her EBM cos baby was taken care by me...the rest of the things like cot, stroller, etc etc etc all given by frens and relatives...

milderina,
yes, I heard abt that, but so far quite I see quite a few first mummy deliver after EDD. I think all depends on bb development.
actually i got record the BD date, wonder it the conception date?
And like what u mentioned if first mth would be cny, wonder would people be free to come or not.
mrs wong,
yah, i think everything is more clear after a scan to see the size of the bb

doggiebebe,
it might have been u ovulated late this mth. Not to worry, the EDD will get more n more accurate as your getting nearer to your delivery date and then you will c the changes. the most impt thing now is that you have strike and is expecting a baby. or if u really like to know then maybe u can find another gynae to get 2nd opinion.

Icylemon, take care of baby on your own v tiring. My couz could not cope that's why I look after her babies for her.
I alone already want to die looking after the baby. Imagine if you just gave birth, it will be so tiring! Esp you don't know if it will be natural or C section..if natural birth, it will not be that bad...but C section you will be v tired and really need the rest lor...
Plus I asked about the confinement food catering, it costs S$1.5k+++!!
Janey, your mum is right. it is very tiring, plus you need to rest well to recover well...
I think if not getting confinement nanny, must at least have someone at home to help out...I remember one of my fren want to save $$, her hubby took 2 weeks leave to help her out when they bring baby home...then he learnt how to cook confinement foods from getting recipes online...then housework they got PT maid to come 4 times a week cos got alot of washing up to do...
