ya, got spare parts $20 per set. But i forgot to buy the citric acid.. aiyo my memory terrible. When i went Gateway they gave me sample sachets without me having to ask. This time ask also dun hv. duh. Served by young boys at the counter. I was thinking whether they would know what "spare parts" i was talking about.

yes i took epi after 2-3hr of pain. Coz nurse told me at least another 6-9hr to go, and with that kind of intensity, i wasn't sure if i'd hv strength to push. Took the epi also with the hope to speed up dilation (happened to my sis). I'm not one to subscribe to old wives tales. Doc's info that bb big, so cervix din dilate.

most electric sterilisers will auto shut off after sterilising cycle is complete. You may wish to consider that when using your food steamer.
My offc policy: once bb pops, ML starts. For my #1, i planned 1 week of AL prior to start of ML, but i popped early. So my ML started early, and i cleared my AL after ML ended.

yes u're right, i stack & arrange the bottles/ teats/ caps blah blah into the steriliser. As tho i'm loading my washing machine... full load!

re: swollen feet
cut down on sodium in your diet. Drink lots of water. Raise feet to knee level if possible. This time round, my feet din swell as much as first time. In my offc, my CPU is under my desk, so i kick off my shoes & put my feet up.
