First time mummies,
Hot & cold compress are meant for diff purpose. Dont use for the wrong reason.

blackbatz,
I also very short. Now the distance btw tummy & steering wheel still ok. But, in time to come then no idea already. Will see how it goes. But cannot imagine if cannot drive. Think my #1 will be badly deprived. Hehe....Aiyo, that means really no such thing as strapless nursing bra. No one innovative enough to come up with such thingy. Guess I have no choice but use the tube bra. Sure have sweaty underarms. LOL~

wendyg,
Thanks for the link. Got my fren to check out for me later. She will update me after lunch. Hehe..Hope its gd.

Jacelyn,
Do you have sinus or blocked nose now? For me, I will get breathless if I stand for too long. Eg. queeing up. Walking is perfectly fine but not standing stationary.
 
<font color="ff6000">AhCapp,

Lucky u did not attend the Doctot's Talk at SCGS yesterday. We find it rather boring talk & my hubby fell asleep in the auditorium for the first 1hr talk by Dr. AiLin, the neurologist. The next hr talk by Dr. Catherine was so so...basically it's like a re-cap "reading from ppt" abt parenthood journey/newborn care/issue/pain relief option/labour & delivery.
No freebies

Fern, how do u find it?</font>
 
NEW LilyPadz Lily Padz Silicone Nursing Bra Pads
================================================
1071337.jpg

This brilliant product was invented by a young mom who knew there had to be a better way! LilyPadz unique design provides you with a non-absorbent layer of protection that prevents breast milk leakage while in place, so there's nothing to absorb -- both you and your clothes stay dry!

Sleep comfortably...
LilyPadz stay in place even when you aren't wearing a bra.

Go for a swim...
LilyPadz are non-absorbent, so they remain effective even in the water. Although, you must apply them while dry, LilyPadz stay in place and prevent leaks as you go from dry to wet and dry again!

Enjoy a night out...
Perfect for under evening attire, strapless, and sheer. Hello sexy mama!

How do LilyPadz Work?
LilyPadz are manufactured from silicone rubber compounds,the same materials used in baby bottle nipples. The silicone material on the inside surface is so soft that it has a tacky feel. They adhere gently to your skin without the use of adhesives and apply a gentle pressure to stop leaks.

How to use LilyPadz
Simply place the LilyPadz over your nipple with the tacky side toward your skin. Press the center of the LilyPadz onto the nipple and smooth out over your breast. Just lift off the LilyPadz to feed your baby then re-apply again and again. LilyPadz are continuously usable. Just wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and air-dry before re-applying. You can occasionally sterilize your LilyPadz. Just place in boiling water for 3 5 minutes.

morning ladies.

Long Hang Jia birdnest
I have been eating that for the past few months. the one with sugar is not so sweet. One bottle can last 3 weeks. 1 teaspoon in the morning to strengthen the baby's lungs and 1 teaspoon at nite so tat the baby will have smooth skin (according to the salesgirl)
 
HI Stph.

Re cabbage leaf- hope that way helps ease pain in engorgement lor. Will try when times comes... THink quite comfy since its cold... hahaha:p

Re DOctors Talk

Second speaker- speak quite steadily.. but just from the ppt lor.. and ya total disappoinemnt. no freebies
sad.gif
Any more of such gd bb seminars.. let me know leh.. I wana go leh.. to get freebies.. hahahahah:{ Misssed the Advent one.. so sad
sad.gif

BTW, if I am not wrong.. I think I saw you... but dun dare call you cos not sure! haha. were you like wearing black or something???? I was like quite near you... hahahaha.....
 
wow! 6 babies!! I cannot even tahan having my little baby making somersualts inside my tummy now...I can't imagine having 6 of them all twisting and turning at the same time.
 
Kitsune,
Yep. Booked her for 4th Dec. If you want Sat slot, contact her quickly.
I have tried a few therapists. She will be the third one.
 
wow ..... if i have twins i oso scare liao wor dun say 6 babies .... how to go work and how to raise them up?? hahahaha
 
Talking about cabbage to ease engorgment pain. Likely to happen during the first 2 weeks. Make sure it is washed thoroughly (or your CL washed it thoroughly). Sometimes, if CL din washed properly, your breast might get infection/ rashes. Put it in a clean plastic bag and keep in the fridge. I remembered that I used it together with the plastic bag. It's really soothing. However, used too often will affect milk supply, so I stopped.
 
<font color="ff6000">Hi Fern,

informative la but they might as well print out the ppt in hardcopy & give it to us FOC for reading/reference during our classes with Mrs Wong. We/all 1st time parents to be make time & effort to attend the talk but the Doctors were not very professional in their presentation...this is how my hubby felt. Maybe we expect high standards from Doctors bah.
Ya i think i saw u too but not sure, u tie up yr hair "pony tail" right? forgot what dress u wore? U were sitting two rows in front of me! Yup i am wearing black dress!

silicon pads
Hmmm... wat if stick liao, then go out, then milk leak, then pad get wet and drop out on the floor???!!

Val
6 babies, they sure got tonnes of sponsors. Her tummy looks small hor from the photo. Hmmm... how they go out? Drive lorry ah.
 
Bebe,
nope i don't have softcopy of the ppt Doctor's talk. I was telling Fern that they (TMC) might as well print out hardcopy for us instead...since the doctors were reading from their ppt slides!
 
mon2nat,
6 babies + 2 elder one = 8 leh. Imagine 8 car seats? Haha.... Car seat another headache. You getting one? After putting another car seat, I gotta make sure my maid dont put on weight man. So cramp!!!!
 
Valencia,
I do have sinus. But the breathlessness will just struck me anytime of the day even i am not having any flu.

Re: Silicone pad
The is actually a mould to place our nipple in it then paste the whole padding ontho the breast.
 
Val
I borrowing the capsule kind from my fren. Actually quite problematic, cos mine is normal sedan car, behind got Nat, my mom and maid, already squeezy. Dun really wanna buy MPV cos hb say waste petrol he is the only one driving all week to work in the big car. Tempted to buy another car, so I can send Nat for classes and sometimes see doc, or when I need to go shopping! HAHA... but another financial burden leh. *sigh* So until now still dunno lor. Well, bb come out then car squeezy then see wat my hb say. Now I force him change oso no use. YOurs MPV now right? At least got more space.
 
icy
oohh...i tot i read u saying smtg about hubby posting to HK. Anyway, Taipei also okay...then u can have your 2-people world + baby again. Me and hubby accepted this relocation cos we were thinking after baby reach schooling age, tough to relocate liao...so if we fancy any relocation, it's now or never.

Pinkstars
U stayed in HK before? Come back lah! Hahahaha...then we can accompany each other with our new babies.
happy.gif
Sigh...can get pretty lonely here. Yah, me too going back HK only around Feb/March. Depending on how fast they can get my baby's visa done after her birth.

3rascals
Thanks! I checked out the moms in mind website and quite like their nursing range as well. Will check it out when i get back to Sg.

Anyone has any giddy spells? Me sometimes for no rhyme no reason, suddenly walking around will feel a little breathless, then an uncomfortable feeling will wash pass me and i feel faintly. Gotta sit down and wait for the moment to pass. Dunno wat it is....is this common?

happy.gif
. can count down already.

just came back from my doc's appointment. well, today never get to see baby coz doc never do scan for me. only hear the baby heart beat, very loud and very fast. thank goodness, i pass the sugar level test, phew. next visit will be 3 weeks from now, can slowly count down. will be doing the 4d scan. what is the 4d scan all about? initially i wanted to wait till end dec when hubby is back then we can see the baby together at the 4d scan, but then doc say by then baby will be too big, so maybe face cannot see clearly, so 8 month will be the best to see the baby, coz by then she will look really like a baby. kekeke.

i got belly button infection. hai~~~~, now got to apply cream.
 
i just visit my gynae yesterday, she didn't mention anything just tell me baby's head is engaged. I dun feel any pain but usually when baby's head engaged, how long it takes for e baby to come out? could it last for a month?
 
Hope all MTB's can benefit from it... Cheers!

happy.gif


Bebe,
no cause for alarm. No worry since gynae didn't say anything. It is a gd sign that bb's head is engaged which means is ready position for natural delivery! #1 normally not so fast into active labour. Must wait for active contraction & cervix is sufficiently dilated then the real labour kicks in wor. Perhaps yr gynae will wait till week 37 & baby is full term & good weight & then will u'll be ready for delivery soon

mylife.
yes, hubby and I were staying in HK from Oct04 to Sept05 (1year)... i agree it can get lonely alone there but we made friends there and got together on Fridays and Sundays.

it helped that we stayed within walking distance from hubby's office (in Central)... so hubby comes back for lunch and dinner... no need to take public transport, and Causeway Bay and Admiralty is easily accessible from my place
happy.gif


we were thinking air quality in HK was bad... until we went to Beijing ;p haha...
 


jaslyn, mylife & qqing,
i am getting fainting spells and breathlessness too... quite scary, so i try to stay at home or get someone to accompany me when i go out... i'd almost fainted in a bookstore in beijing and nobody even noticed~ cold sweat and seeing stars and everything... *shudder*

if you can, dun go out alone lor...

now even at home, i lie down if i think i am giddy... won't wanna tumble down the stairs or something...
