Re:heatrash
yea i tink heat rashes are related to heatiness in our body. I feel so heaty these days and are eating cold stuff trying to cool me down. just had watermelon after lunch after failing to get coconut juice or green bean soup hehe
xiaoyun/snowbelle: Yea i signed up with SCBB too, and yes, it's my gynae who initially wanted to charge me 350!! but after asking him again, he said ok la he would waive since we are doing good deed. Oh well! i hope he is not going to charge his subsequent patients for donating to SCBB .
BF during confinement: my friend ate a lot and became even fatter than during pregnancy becuase she said after bf she feels so so hungry!!

bkkgal,
i now kiss the floor that my mom walks on haha...!!!! so thankful that she is supportive and volunteering to look after bb. i never asked her for help cos when i first got married, she had declared that she won't look after my kids. so was very surprised when she offered to help.
as what snowbelle says - just enjoy the good food first. for tough/irritating questions, just smile =)

MAH
i agree wif stephie tat e nurses there r pro-BFg n very gd. i liked tat plc so much, i wont give birth elsewhere, even though i heard MAH increased their charges liao.
e midwife will thrust e bb 2 u 2 BF once u pop. i did it 4 my 1st but hated it so didnt do 4 my 2nd. i dun intend 2 BF until i've been cleaned up, wheeled into my ward n e bb's cleaned up. i feel betta tis way.
u can tell e nurses wat u intend 2 do wif ur bb. 4 me, i was TBFg for my 1st son cos blur blur mah, wanna TBF. in e end, very tired cos e nurses would push my bb into my room in e middle of e nite so i ended up getting no sleep.
for my 2nd son, i smarter. i told e nurses no BFg bet 12am-8am so they bottle-feed FM during tis time so i can get 2 rest. very happy wif tis arrangement cos i really got 2 sleep.
will do so 4 my girl tis time round too.

tongtong,
When you asked yr gynae about the collection fee, did you told him you are donating to SCBB?
yeah... heard that during bf, will feel hungry very often... gotta control during that time if we want to get back to our pre-pregnancy weight...
yeah, coz walking or any form of exercise, may cause labour to start soon... I think I read in some threads, some mtbs purposely go for long walk or climb stairs when about due to kick-start the labour.
kelly,
I heard that it's better to bf bb esp bet 12am to 6am, coz will simulate more milk flow leh...

Garfield,
When I had my first one at KKH, they thrust the baby to me shortly after I come out of the delivery room and ask me to BF. They were telling me (if my memory didn't fail me) that if they start bottle feeding bb, will have problem getting bb to latch on properly thereafter. So started bf from the first day. There will be a nurse that will help you with it but not that friendly. Quite impatient. That's 9 years ago though.

Coffee/Tea
i used to drink coffee everyday before i got preggy. somehow whenever i'm pregnant, my body will automatically reject coffee/tea (same case for both pregnancies). i told my frens/hubby it's 'natural aversion'. good for me since i won't crave for it/feel deprived if i don't drink. then after birth, will automatically revert to norm again. these hormones thingy is so strange.

the face mask link (i've only tried dainty design masks so far) http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/1167009.html?1198676214
Moi dar,
wow KKH already pro BF 9 yrs ago *impressed* i guess it must still be the case. i do recall the ante natal class teacher saying that they will encourage bbs to latch on immediately after giving birth in the delivery room. but not sure whether that is in theory only, or it actually happens in reality!!

e reason y midwife encourage mummies 2 latch on asap after popping is 2 tell ur breasts 2 start working, something like 2 stimulate e breasts 4 colostrum, after tat BM. tat was wat e midwife in MAH told me during my 1st delivery.
snowbelle
i took epi for 1st 2 deliveries but i m determined NOT 2 take 4 tis.
will post long story abt my natural assisted deliveries + epi later. me quicking catch some sleep b4 my boys wake up.

moi_dar,
that's great news !! hope everything goes smoothly for you
garfield,
i intend to have baby stay with me coz i dun have confinement and my mom will be staying with me and "train" me to care for baby. i'll also have a maid to help out do the chores...hubbie also won't let baby stay with my mom or maid and we purposely bought a smaller cot so that can fit in our room
snowbelle,
when i have craving for coffee i'll go starbucks or mccafe and order decaf coffee, at least don't feel so sinful or maybe can take green tea coz the caffeine content is not that high... btw, regarding the cord blood extraction, u mean dr. wong won't charge for the extraction even if we donate to SCBB ? must check with her on wed when i go for checkup

Hi moi_dar,
Congrats on your good news!
But do still remember to take care.
RE: rashes
I think all the tonics taken during pregnancy contribute to heatiness plus the fact that we are carrying extra weight and baby. So now I careful to avoid heaty, fried, spicy foods and stick to soupy and non-greasy stuff. So far my rashes have disappeared. I also take soya bean curd with ginko nuts about once a week (so that my baby will have smooth complexion).
RE: SCBB
I called them but no one answer then I emailed them and no one replied. Wondering if I should call again.

artemis- that time i emailed scbb, the person in charge replied the day later lor.
jaslyn - oh.. think i saw another lady not u .. hehe

hi ladies...
talk about the rain! was out to buy stationary and the rain just poured!!! althou i have shelter and umbrella, still very wet...my shoes (or rather, sandals) gone case liao.
Thanks Garfield, will check out the links tonight
R u joining the gals for dinner? im gg to find them at the BW place later.
Caffeine,
dr never stop me leh...im still drinking my 2 cups a day, depending on 'body condition'. like Stephie, i also experience 'natural rejection', esp since 3rd tri. think it's nature's way of preparing me for confinement (since i think we are not allowed to take coffee/tea during this time)
Rashes
oh yes it didn't occur to me it's due to all the fried and oily food i've been eating that's causing my rashes...*enlightenment*
i havent had much tonics this pregnancy but been attacking all the fried,oily, spicy, curry food with gusto! hahaha...better tell my MIL to go easy with her cooking now.

RE: antenatal milk
I never take any milk powder stuff cause since young I have developed a very deep adversion to anything from milk powder. That's why I going for breast feeding I only take normal milk and my multi vitamins.
RE: caffeine
I was never much of a coffee person. More a tea person. I think since I pregnant also took less than 5 cans of green tea. No craving for it leh.
RE: SCBB
I tried calling them again and they may be arranging to meet me this Friday before or after my gynae appointment.
RE: Eatz Japanese Mini Buffet
Is it cause it's mini buffet that there is no warmer? Saw from the pictures that it came in styrofoam boxes? How's the food quality? Wondering about 1st month celebrations now as I not sure whether to have it at my place or at PIL's place. If have at PIL's place then I no need to clean up before and after <lazy> Just thinking about having to clean the place and take care of the baby already very sian.

think i won't be joining in today. having bad hip pain so can't really walk about very much. you gals have a good dinner!
for the ampoules - trace elements and collagen really improve the radiance and soothe the skin. immediate / overnight effect!
stephie,
i think so long as you are taking calcium supplements plus cheese should be fine. i don't take any calcium supplements, so rely purely on milk and cheese to meet my daily calcium needs =)

yup, there's no warmer cos it's a mini buffet (same case for other caterers). it's not styrofoam box but microwaveable boxes. food wise not bad just that the jap rice is not jap rice loh. lol.
the thought of not having to clean up afer the 1st month celebration is a pulling factor to have it at your PIL's place.

Hi Stephie,
If their food is not bad will shortlist them for the 1st month celebration.
They have a baby full month buffet set that seems quite okay leh. But hor, my PIL's place no lift and on the 3rd floor, not sure will incur their extra "no-lift" charge a not.

haha...i think i'm super kiasu coz i know preggie ladies need around 1100-1200gr of calcium per day (if i remember correctly). So i counted that i take supplement around 600gr, and i take milk but not the full dosage around 4 scoops so that makes about 400gr then take 2x a day so adds up to 1400gr...i was taking it religiously during my 2nd tri...but somehow 3rd tri like many mummies, i'm more relax so just take either 1 cup of milk or 1 pack of the cold anmum milk...heheh...
garfield,
so far i'm ok leh...haven't gain too much weight, but maybe also because i'm quite heavy in the first place...gain about 11kg as of week 33, next wed go check up dun dare to look at scale! hahaha..
