Haha, all your comments about BW so funny. I thought of doing initially but I'm afraid with regrowth over confinement will be very itchy. Got Jan mummies experienced that the prickly regrowth poked into pads.
Wa, Moi Dar, your hubby hero leh. My hubby will never do it.

hi ladies
yea gar: waxing is pulling out the roots of the hair and therefore regrowth will be lesser and not that rough and skin won't turn dark.
Shaving just cutting of hair but not the roots therefore the regrowth at the end will be rough and for shaving you are removing the top layer of the dead skin and therefore there is a tendency for the skin to turn dark. You can do a search on the net to find out more.

ok gals for booster here is a review from a gal from flowerpod
"here's my review for revive wellness! i was intrigued by all the rave reviews here and i almost thought it was a bunch of people advertising for the salon because of the sudden wave of good reviews so i was curious and i went to try it for myself!
my verdict is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/good.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/good.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/good.gif)
ive personally tried strip, honeypot and now revive and revive wins my vote! really painless, minimal discomfort, i have a high threshold of pain so revive for me is like 1/10 in terms of pain, honeypot is 2/10 while strip is like 5/10
lets start with the good things: i like the ambience of the room, very comfy and very spa-like, it was dim-lit and the bed looks comfy! with all the rolled towels and very comfy pillows! i like the kimono that you wear for brazilian waxing, feels very spa-like (in honeypot you wrap in towel lol) i like my therapist Lynn who was great! very chatty but not overly talkative, made me laugh and feel at home, zero embarrassment because she shared her knowledge on different types of hair etc and she even shared her own BW experience! very nice lady! the wax smells AMAZING! its chocolate wax and even though its not real chocs the smell is very authentic, its that thick choc fondue smell, so nice! feels so therapeutic during the session, i kept smelling yummy things lol oh one part i LOVE is that they use new spatulas for every dip, and i do mean every! they use both sides of the stick, one dip per side and they throw, so i feel very safe and hygienic, i like that the therapist shows me the wax after she rips it off, she explained to me why some areas hurt more and why some hairs have white and black bulbs at the end, informative! i also appreciate the breathing technique she taught me during the waxing session so really zero pain and she was REALLY fast, like she say "1, 2, inhale!" then i went *suck in breathe* and before i could exhale she pull out already all clean! very fast work, thumbs up! i shaved previously so i had alot of short hairs that couldnt be removed and she helped me tweeze them all out, nice! i was served yummy floral tea before and after the session, no hard selling of packages, nice place, will return!
for the bad things: nothing much really but the location is quite hard to find with no banners at the shophouse, not centrally located and only one outlet but this i cant blame them, another thing i didnt like as much is the washing up room, looks like a normal toilet! haha im just fussy because the girls washing up room at honeypot was gorgeous! it was pink and dim, with a lovely deisgner mirror, wash basin, they provided feminine wash, towels, wet wipes etc the room was very nice! very girly! but overall in terms of service and effect and oh yes pricing! Revive wins my vote! only $46 instead of $59 for honeypot and i heard they have the 2 BW for $78 offer going on? something like that, thats uber cheap!
not bad, thanks for the recommendations!

Garfield/Hppmum2b, my gynae already said she doesn't shave unless C section so that's why I don't know why I should do it. True, initially can't shower if should be able to wipe down there with the herbal water right? At least, that one I can do it if I really want to cos CL stays with me & hubby. No mum or MIL around at night.
I already have the itchy feeling sometimes due to eczema. Don't know if itchy regrowth will make it worse. Cannot go out during confinement to rewax so can only shave again I guess. Don't know if I'll end up even more pek chek.

Hppymum2b, your bb bigger than mine. Last week when I went (close to 37 weeks), she was only 2.5kg but gynae said got 20% estimation error. Hope she's bigger when I go for scan tomorrow.
True, Vine_gal. That's the only pull factor for me so far. Don't like the iky, sticky feeling but hate to be scratching lor.

Hppymum2b, ya lor, that's why I hesitating on BW lar. Anyway, if I turn out to be wrong then for no. 2, I'll go for it
I tried durians, chicken soup, pork rib soup etc to pump her up, but didn't work leh. Durians even gave me heartburn, maybe too sweet. Sigh, anyway, I 'ren ming' liao, only left with 2 weeks, maybe she's just petite like mummy & daddy lor. Anyway, if really too big, difficult to push, I'll also regret on delivery day. Hee.

Thanks, yup not going to be too "zi zuo" on her weight liao. As long as she's growing every week, good already.
Mng ladies!!!
bb weight
anything above 2.5kg is fine by me!! cos bbs in the past (our generation) used to be that size and we all grew up alright =P
BW,
i think it's personal preference...there are pros and cons for doing it or not. i suggested to hb about the BW and he gave me this *i can't believe you are saying this* look
snowbelle,
hold the bottom half of the ampoule firmly in left hand and then use your right hand to break off the top of the ampoule (it should break nicely at the white line)

don't advice rebonding hair after birth cos we tend to experience hairloss then and rebonding will aggravate the matter (just that when it happens may vary according to individual). as for whether it will have effect on bb if we bf, that i'm not sure and have not checked with gynae before. i remembered i rebonded my hair 8 mths after birth and was still bfg then.
jeannie
you are welcome. ju shou zi lao. and thanks for the compliments on my girl. she's very notty, always refuse to address people whenever i ask her to.

hi ladies,
Vine_gal,
Thanks!
BW @ $88 1-for-1
Tute, Garfield, bbkgal,
31 Jan ok? timming-6.30pm? cos i think in reality the whole process takes close to an hour. then we can have dinner before the all eateries around tg pagar closes.
Garfield,
Im a bit confused about the ampoules... i read that there are 3 types of 'firming' ampoules. 1 under Facial, Breast and Body respectively. is the firming ampoules for the respective 'body parts'? if so, i wonder what's the difference between the body firming ampoules and breast firmming ampoules?
