hi taro,

wow, u also love confinement food...
sanrio and cheetos,
for your 1st confinement, how many days u "tong" not washing your hair? My gf told me she tong for 1 mth!!! i think i few days max coz my scalp is oily kind...

Most of the CLs are not local so they have to stay at your home. Anyway, night time is the most xiong one and night feeds are handled by them, which is good..otherwise you'll have to wake up in the night and you will be hardly getting enough sleep.
Actually I didnt enjoy confinement at all! Breastfeeding wasn't as easy as in the videos..I had a hard time trying to get the baby to latch on. I woke digilently in the middle of the nite to express which was really tiring. I dislike pig trotters and ginger and kidneys, but these are like the confinement staples. And not being able to wash your hair everyday is awful as well.
I hope 2nd time round will be better since I'm a bit more experienced and hopefully more relaxed this time (haha).

lovedogs,

cheetos,
ya my mom mention tat its better to let cf lady take care of bb at night...else with all the crying n movement, not only yourself...even the hubby also no need sleep liao. n during confinement period, should get plenty of rest. if got chance, take nap during the day also.....the bb let the cf lady take care.

Cheezel,
Talk about sleep...once your bb is born, sleep is like a thing of the past! Even now (at almost one year), sometimes I still have to wake up in the middle of the night. Try to rest more during confinement..I was too kan cheong the first time round...didn't rest at all.
Lovedogs,
I think it all depends on oneself. You can go to extremes like not bathing/washing hair for one month, no aircon, no fan, long sleeves etc. But as for me, I did things in moderation, even slept with aircon at night. Those practices were more for like olden times in China when weather was cold. It's hot as an oven here...how to practise that?? Then again, there are also many who stick by the rule ;-)

lovedogs, i was not able to access it also. Gal pasted the link for me. We are chatting on msn. if you all have msn, can add me at [email protected]
hey, the thread is back!
morning ladies,
how is everyone feeling today?
i am feeling slightly better although still fighting with nausea. i adopted a new tactic: talking to baby. it worked during my first pregnancy. when i feel nauseous, i will tell bb not to be naughty and i will feel better. maybe it's all in the mind but as long as it works for me.
talking about confinement, i have my dreadful experience too. not having to bath is the killer. besides, the weather was damn hot. the fan is on but i tried not to rely on it too much. basically, it was like a torture. anyway, i bathed with herbal water after the 12th day. it wasn't very clean after that but the bath was refreshing. battling with breastfeeding is definitely not easy but i'm glad i survived thru it. having a good cf lady is definitely essential. my mom helped me with my confinement and she really served me from head to toe.

finally is up!
hmmm CL, for my 1st delivery, i didnt have CL. i was staying with my mum, and she;s working. Just that she gets the maid to cook those confinement food for me. for this #2, dont think can stay with her, cos my sis staying with her with 2 kids, and she didnt even bother to ask how i'm going to do my confinement. Think i will do self confinement, bo pian, to save the $$ for future use, as $$$ is very tight for us.

cheezel,
thanks for the update. wow, u so young leh. my spotting has stopped but i kept having some yellowish discharge. i hope it is just some overflowing mucus from the mucus plug. i really dread taking the hormone pills leh. dr adrian gave me another two boxes the last time i saw him. i felt like telling him i don want to take anymore leh but for bb's sake, just have to keep popping.
lovedogs,
yar lor, i tong until so long. some people lagi super, can tong the whole month. a chinese physician once told me that she bathed with herbs everyday but when she told my mom, she doesn't believe lor. she rather i follow old practice.

bridget,
no choice leh...everytime i going back work, will have spotting/brown discharge.....so gynae ask me to rest rather than go back work 1 day then spotting again then get worried and then go see him again....so he say might as well rest at hm.
my boss say if need to take rest, then take and rest at hm. ask me no worry abt work, she will get someone to cover some of my routine job for the time being. my department has quite a no. of preggie ladies.....i remember last yr, a colleague of mine got some complication during pregnancy so basically the 9 months, i seldom see her at work....big boss still ok......my company into healthcare, so think will be more considerate to us preggie ladies or sick colleagues ba.

cheezel,
4 boxes??!! *faint* the pills must have cost quite a bomb. i think spotting should stop by 2nd trim bah. i am praying very hard leh.
i also agree that ur boss must be very understanding. i can't imagine mc for a month. my boss sure black face like charcoal.
bridget,
don salute me, it's a nerve breaking experience. this time the confinement gonna be during the hottest period again, jialat jialat.
i wonder how are the confinement mummies coping during this period. with the haze getting worse, they can't even open window wor. maybe can use this excuse to switch on aircon but also cannot on the whole day.
lovedogs,
i thot of that as well but yeast infection comes with itch right?
u so poor thing. i can't imagine how u r going to tong all the way until delivery.

i think my director will also not be so happy la..take so many weeks but lucky is i m not working directly under him....i still have a supervisor and manager in between...so quite shelter ba. my hubby also worried tat i take so many MC will affect work lo. but no choice.
ya lo....next yr ...month of mar to aug definitely will be hot period one....cant imagine sweating away and still not able to switch on fan!

Hey girls!
Back in action.. now struggling with my exams while on leave fr work.
Went to Dr Fong for my Wk 12 checks. Hvn been seeing him since Wk 9. So kinda nervous cos last saw bb, was only abt 1.8cm.. and all the damn MS is so sickening... actually cried to my mum lately, cos hated the feeling of not being able to control such situations...
But saw the bb ytdy doing the scan. Yippie! BB's 5.1cm Wk 12. Growing healthly. Saw the head, hands and legs. And amazingly, bb moved twice dramatically and placenta has grown as well.
Dr Fong stopped prescribing the hormone pills. Just got iron, calcium and omega pills now.
Think I'm kinda of pampered by my mum. Used to think I'm a strong person, but gathered that I'm strong in my working personality, but not as a mummy... now must start learning to be stronger!
I just hope the MS will go away soon. Gynae said usually wld go away by Wk 14. Crossing my fingers!
May all MTBs stay strong!

My office toilet quite small and if someone is in the toilet I dare not make too much noise. Gotta control my vomit till nobody is ard.....getting in my nerve. But really quite paiseh to vomit and make alot of noise in front of other col.
