Hi ladies,
so long never login. Been busy with my #1 since I am temporary SAHM right now. I have started washing baby clothes and will start to buy baby bath items and etc.
I went to buy mittens and booties from the shop at Queen street. Managed to ask the auntie there if can take the pink colour mittens and booties out and change to blue which she gladly did. So if any of you going there and buy, can try to ask if can change a not.
These few days really feeling so hot and get tired very easily.

Hi all, is the Taka baby sales confirmed in March? Cos both hubby and I still haven't got those essentials.. Hoping to get them during the sales.
Btw, I'm doing a spree for GAP. If anyone is interested, can join in.

Jer, I woke up in sweat last nite. Found it so hard to sleep nowadays. Now backache leh...

Me having backache, dunno issit lack of sleep or wat. And feel like vomiting the past 2 days. Today I cannot stand the neasau, I went toilet and force myself to vomit to feel better...

Girls,
I read my "bible" (book: What to expect when expecting), they mention 1 question on the nightmares. I see if I got time tonight, I go home and type the whole section. It is a norm that we have these dreams. So dun worry.

icebaby,
the book is really a very good bible hor..i bot it when i was expecting my first and till now still referring back often.
the shop at Queen street is Shen Kwong Trading at 269 Queen St #01-246. I've not been there so gotta ask the other mummies how to find the shop cos they said quite difficult to locate.

Hi Winnedy,
It is really difficult being a SAHM, the lucky thing is that my hubby is very generous, he doesn't really care how i spend my money but like always, cos i am not contributing to the income, i can't really buy things for myself like i used to.
Also like what other mummies said, you don't really have any 'me' time, cos you are at home most of the time to look after your kids, the only time you have is when they are asleep. it is hard to go out alone with hubby too, the only alone time we have now is when my daughter is asleep and at night when we watch tv together.
but this will pass, soon they will go to school and yo will regain your freedom, meanwhile, try to keep yourself updated on what's going on, else it's true, you and your hubby will not have anything to talk about but your children. Good luck in deciding!
Piggy mummy,
Me too i am looking at ways to supplement my income, any good lobang please inform me. Thanx

hi kelcqi,
dun worry ah. u nt siao. sometimes i also throw temper at my hubby for no reason =) but i will apologise to him and tell him i dun mind it just that i became v agitated all of a sudden. i think they will understand if we explain/apologise to them.

ant1712,
i bot one set of 2-piece pyjamas just before CNY for CNY and also to use in hospital later. I've got 1 more old set but i dun wanna to be in same pyjamas in the photos for both my 1st and 2nd pregnancies.
Dat day I saw metro also selling the madame 20-piece maternity pad. dunno wats the texture like but i feel from the outside of the pack the size and thickness like same as kotex ones. no wings too. so far i hear kotex is the more popular brand. i'll probably buy kotex adhesive ones too.
Re:hot weather
yesterday jus went to cut my hair to chin length.
it was way past my shoulders and dunno if its due to the pre-natal vitamins, my hair is growing faster than usual. So now cut to chin length to combat the hot weather. Will need to go back in April to cut again before giving birth.

gd morning ladies...
seeking some advise on post natal massage...
am wondering how you gals cope with breastfeeding/looking after baby and having massage at the same time? i have no CL and very likely my MIL only come over for a short while during the day.
i heard that cannot breastfeed after massage as the oils not suitable for infants? also, typically how long do you have to keep the wrap on after massage?
for my 1st kid, i didn't do massage as i had c-section. i hear that massage can help slim down the tummy, so quite interested to try for 2nd child coz my tummy never really quite slim down after no1, plus i had v bad water retention in the legs.
thanks in advance!

DESITIN
There's 2 types of Desitin cream. One is Creamy, and is the normal type. From my 1stborn, the Creamy version is the better one. Back then, it was only for sale at PD, not available over the counter at normal pharmacies. I think it cost like $14-16. So buying from USA is definitely cheaper, Drugstore.com is selling now for USD4.86 per tube. I also bought 5 tubes!
Another thing that you might want to consider getting from overseas is nipple cream. I'm ordering the Lansinoh Lanolin cream from Amazon.com. I find that this brand is much better than the rest. Only Avent comes anywhere close to delivering the same relief from sore nipples.
HTHs!

tracy,
thanks!
ant1712,
I dun sleep in PJs. I probably stick to wearing T-shirts and pants or shorts. Hahaha
Choc,
As for diaper rash cream, I stick to using Johnson and Johnson. The other creams didn't work for any of my boys.
Yueling,
No one can advise you whether ex or not cos really depends on the skill.
friesbandit,
For me, I did massage for my 1st and didn't do for my 2nd. It's not just slimming cos it really depends on each person's own body. It's more of getting rid of wind. I felt that since I didn't do it for my 2nd, I still felt wind in my body.
As for the wrap, for my massage I put on the wrap in the morning after massage UNTIL the next morning when I bath then take off. Then after morning massage then wear again.
Then for this pregnancy, I also have bad water retention on my leg.
For this 3rd kid, I dun have CL, then grandma-in-law pass away liao...I also wondering how I going to cope. Still debating whether to order confinement food to save the trouble of my mum cooking then bring over for the 1st 2 weeks.
thanks!

Below is what I received from WhatToExpect.com which i sign up last week. Ladies can go sign up on their website for free to receive information on your pregnancy daily.
RE: Dreams and Daydreams
"What's going on with all these strange dreams and daydreams I've been having?"
You're not losing your mind, but something's definitely on your mind (pregnancy perhaps?); and it's making you dream up a storm, day and night. Even if you're normally the type that doesn't remember your dreams when you wake up (and you know who you are), you may suddenly find you're elbowing your partner in the middle of the night to give him a blow-by-blow of your latest seemingly demented dream (such as the one about giving birth to an alien baby with a tail). Or you might find yourself drifting off in the middle of important meetings into daydreams about chubby cheeks (both kinds) and adorable buntings with tiny hats. Your dreams and daydreams may be so richly detailed and vivid (right down to the Technicolor scales on the alien baby) that you may wake from them wondering, was that really a dream?
The reason for all these daytime and nighttime visions? It's easy to blame hormones (again) — and they almost certainly play a role — but there are other theories too. First of all, you've got a lot on your mind, and on your plate. Dreams are one way that your subconscious works through that overload and comes to terms with the impending upheaval in your life. They can be an outlet for the 1,001 conflicting emotions (from ambivalence to trepidation to anxiety to overwhelming excitement and joy) you're feeling but may be uneasy expressing any other way. Even those nightmarish dreams you've probably been waking up in a sweat from (like the one where you forgot where you put the baby, or the one where you felt trapped in a car wash) can be positive (really!) — a sign that your subconscious is trying to regain some control during a most unsettling time.
Of course, there's another reason — a much more basic one — why you feel like you're dreaming more than ever before (and it has nothing to do with your subconscious): You're waking up more often than you used to during the night (probably every two or three hours) — either to use the bathroom, or just to toss, turn, and try to get comfortable. And each time you wake up may be right in the middle of a dream cycle — allowing you to recall in great detail and living color just what was going on in that mind of yours.
Don't lose any sleep over your dreams and fantasies — they're completely normal, and very common among pregnant women. In fact, they're also very common among expectant fathers too. (It's a dad's way of working out his own set of subconscious anxieties, and he can't even blame it on hormones!) Swapping dreams (and daydreams) can be fun (can you top this one?), as well as therapeutic — plus it can help bring you closer together. So dream on!

Actually, creams like Drapolene and Desitin are more "barrier creams" than creams for diaper rash, though they do help somewhat in healing of diaper rash.
For me, Desitin Creamy is thicker than Drapolene, and i found it wasn't so easily washed/rubbed away when the diaper rubs against the bottom, or when the baby pees. Hence, it acted as a very good barrier against the uric acid, which causes diaper rashes to occur.
When my baby did get diaper rash, i found that the Dr Atopeace cream (it was very popular when i had my firstborn) worked very well to heal the rash in a short period of time. I normally applied the Dr Atopeace on the rashes, then the barrier cream on top of it.

hi icebaby thanks for the reply on the massage. think i may consider getting the massage lady after all... i had water retention even 1mth after my delivery and it got so bad i had to go for ultrasound scan to see if any blood clot in my leg veins. hoping not to go through that again! i only worried that baby might not latch on coz of the smell of the herbs/oil in the wrap, and WHO will take care of my baby while i'm having the massage. I also no CL, and dunno whether my MIL will come over in the day.

friesbandit,
U might wish to try a to have a pre-natal massage now if u want.
Now my worry is that baby dun want to latch on. Cos my 1st 2 boys didn't want to latch then due to some medical issue, I didn't breastfeed (i.e. pump) for more than 2 weeks. Sigh.

icebaby,
i'm thinking of the confinement food delivery too. actually the menus look quite appetizing. my friend ordered when she delivered and she said it's not bad...very healthy kind cos low salt, low oil and no msg. down side is that it's a bit bland.
any ladies gonna have elective cesar? i'm getting nervous as the date draws close cos Dr said mine might need cesar. :-( aiyoh, i'm soooo scared of needles and knives.
