Hey
Then I'm consider lucky.... coz I don follow all the old folks tales that is w/o scentific proves.
Mummies.... bathe lah. Don touture yrself. I bath immediately after I give birth. Whne back home, I bathe 3 times a day to keep myslef clean. Coz after birth, u need to keep yrself very clean. The wounds at the bottom needs to clean few times a day, and if breast feeding, need to keep that area clean as well.
Share with you one sentence to counter them back when they say that if bathe, will get here pian there pain in the future...... tell them straight into their face: then why the old folks now also here pain there pain, they restrict themselve to water during confinement last time too......
Sorry, I don;t mean to be rude.....if yr mother/MIL really don't allow you to do that, just bear with it....

Icylemon, my hubby dun allow me to take stingray not cos of the mercury level but he say stingray got no nutrients, might as well eat other types of fish...
In singapore, you shouldn't have much problems with high mercury levels in food.
Steamed promfret is good...the oils are the ones that will make baby smart...fish oils are v healthy...if it will make my baby smart, who cares if I become 100kg...

Paracetamol is safe to consume...the normal type(not extra)...as advised by my gynae...so far I have taken 2-3 times when the headache is really bad.
Sherl, the tweaking feeling is it like muscle pulling sort of feeling? It might be your uterus expanding and the intestines are repositioning. If it is not severe pain and no bleeding, can wait till next visit then ask your gynae.
Paracetamol is definitely safe. But must make sure it only contains paracetamol and nothing else. Those that come with muscle relaxtants cannot be taken by preggies.

Mrs Wong,
Thanks! Yeah, it does feel a bit like muscle tweaking... But I thought the uterus expanding should feel like menstrual cramps? That's why I'm worried, because this is the first time I'm feeling something like this...
Anyway, my colleague dragged me to shop for maternity pants during lunch coz she says my tummy darn obvious liao.... think my office is in the whole speculation thing already. sigh. Dunnoe why but suddenly felt very upset and refused to buy anything.

Emotional roller coaster can attack any time. Sherl, u feel better now? Guess cos there are dramatic hormoneous changes in your body.

iceblue, my colleague who is in her third month now used to suffer from MS too but she needs a lot of support and encouragement from her family and friends. She is ok now in her 2nd trimester.
How many weeks is your wifey in now?
Gals, me so happy. I juz found a confinement lady.
Recommended by my friend and she did not charge me extra for CNY. Hope I would not have any problem with her. Read alot of horror stories in other threads!

Bluegrapes, my mum also came into the forum to read about the CLs...she got a shock!!
And the price scared her also. She rather I keep the money for bb to attend enrichment classes. She promised to take leave from work to help me out. I think should not be any problem cos both our maids got experience with newborns and are great cooks
BTW, I found the trainer for water aerobics for preggies already. Now just need to see how many pple interested and find a pool that is quiet

hi gals,
home PC still @ workshop repairing. HB moved his travelling plan & flying next wk. Now, just using his notebk to catch up everyone updates. next wk can't logged on liao, no PC @ mummy's plc.
Sherl,
can u update my EDD to 8Jan, instead of 12Jan? Just came back from gynae,dated shifted as now can c bb more clearly. 10wks 5 days today. Heard strong heartbeats and c little hand waving in the sac. I'm so touched! 'cos ve bn puking w food for the past wks, very miserable, wanted to cry b'cos of so much discomforts.
Iceblue,
it is nice to c a caring hb. i tin u need to bear for a while w the MS. my MS get worse on wk 9 and 10. now no better.
sometime,i get emotional,a hug by hb can be comforting.
my hb can sometime said tin like control urself & don't puke, watch how much food u eat, etc..but how can 2 control. this kind o comments can be very upsetting. when wifey whine abt discomforts, pls listen, and provide some hugs, remember we can be very sensitive to words & tone. I know we might sound unreasonable & over sensitive , but feeling like this for wks is not easy on us.
if puking get serious, pls talk to gynae to get some pills 2 reduce them. i got them 2day.
it is a very tiring period for the couples, and we need to be there for each other. U take care and also gd care of ur wife.
