Moodymum and Priveledged, I read from a women's health book that the key to healthy breasts that will not sag after pregnancy and breastfeeding is to ensure good support throughout.
This means we must change our bras as our breasts grow bigger. Now, it is our breasts that are growing, which means the cup size increases. Those extensions will not change the cup size of the bra. Inappropriate cup size will result in lack of support or inadequate support for the growing breasts.
There is a technique to wear the bra to ensure that the bra is providing enough support.
Believe or not is up to you gals, I rather believe cos my mum did change her bras every 2 months while she was preggie with me and my siblings. And now she is 51, her boobs are still perky and not sagging even though she breastfed us for more than a year each. She said those bras bought during pregnancy can be worn during breastfeeding when the breasts start to grow smaller when start to wean off BM.
I got those without wires cos it is more comfy than those with wires. Only 1 set I bought has wires, the strapless one.
Was adviced to buy nursing bra only in week 35. For nursing bra the told me buy 1 size bigger, but don't wear immediately. Only bring to hospital in the hospital bag.
Autum, I called in to enquire. The nurses were busy so they took my number to call me back to explain in detail to me.
When I was there, I spoke to the pregnant nurse. She was the one who said that in case of M/C, they will refund the unused portion of the package. And I did sign on my first visit, so did a few other mummies-to-be that went there.
I've been to the Tiong Bahru clinic, personally prefer Northern Hope cos the U/S machine there is newer and much clearer. Plus I prefer the nurses at Northern Hope.
Cherryale, size of baby corresponds with mummy's size at time of conception. If you are petite, it is alright is baby is slightly smaller now.
Don't worry
Starlite, it is alright to drink some powdered drinks. Eg. once a day.
Try to drink warm milk, cold milk just makes the stomach more uncomfy.
If you got alot of wind, try cooking steamed chicken with ginger. Just slice up alot of ginger, sprinkle of top of chicken, add 1 tsp of soysauce and steam. Dun eat too much of the ginger though. This helps get rid of the wind that causes the bloatedness.
Sometimes I drink gassy drinks just to burp out the gas. 1-2 mouthfuls a day.
BTW, some mummies here are quite rude. Your 'tone' in your replies are v upsetting when I'm just trying to share what I learnt, read and advices I recieved.
I will not be coming into this thread anymore. Hope my baby will be a Jan 2007 baby instead.
