ellysia,
i still hvnt think wanna go extra massages anot leh..depends if the malay massages work anot lor..but i hvnt call any malay lady to make appointment for the massages lah..
 


Roxy, Tera and feifei,

I am in 28 weeks liao.. so maybe last week ored 3rd trim. No wonder last week i am so tired, energy level drop leh.

These few days i measure my weight is around 63.5KG, around 7.5KG gain since pregnancy liao.
 
but there's no public holiday on Saturday for the month of March n April leh..so funny lor..they juz change as they like n nvr inform us..win liao..
 
talk about massages, i was thinking to get the malay lady come to massage for me last weekend, but she's fully booked. Had to make another appointment but till now hvnt called her.
I think i really need some massages.
 
bizzsnow,

I am not doing malay massage at home cos v leh chey during confinement period. Will be using Osim binder or normal binder. So i see if my weight got decrease during confinement or not.. if progress is good maybe i no need to do massage after confinement.

Now for me is my face, arms, hips are bloated lor. Face currently i feel is ok bec' previously my face a bit too thin i find not so healthy. I will like to reduce my arms and hips.. if cannot reduce after ML, maybe i go gym for workout liao.
 
ellysia,

post natal massage is not only help in slimming down, but it oso help in get rid of the wind inside our body and oso can stimulate our milk production. You might want to reconsider. Me sound like i'm a massage lady promoting massaging. hehe.....
 
ellysia,
wah..u so on ah?? can go gym during ML ah??i only scared i too lazy to go lor..haha..

felicia,
i agree with wat u said abt the malay massage leh..dat's wat my mum told me also..she asked me to engage 1 to do for me when doing confinement..u gonna ask which malay lady do for u??good anot?? how much she charging?
 
felicia,
i think the taka fair ends on 23rd march..ending on the same day as the baby fair in expo.. but i could be wrong lah..
 
bizzsnow,

21 March is good friday, public holiday.

Felicia,

I know but i dun like doing at my house lor.. just a personal preference plus my house ored v inconvenient with my mum and brother.. then my mum keep saying no need to do, she last time also never do etc etc. My mum said the most effective method is breastfeeding and these malay massages have not been proven also.

bizzsnow,

If i am really v fat then cannot reduce, i have to go gym or else how to see people after ML.
 
bizznow,

Nvr try on this malay lady yet. It was recommended by my friend (her collegue recomended to her). She try her post natal massage before and she said is good.
I called this lady (her name is mariah), she told me her charges is $50 per session, but tat was about 1-2 mths back. Hopefully she din increase her price lah.

did u check if the Osim binder is suitable to use during confinement period? coz dun forget our womb is still weak after delivery so not recommended for such motion?</font>
 
bizznow,
Thanks for the info, I will call and check later. Aiyo, the class arrangement sounds so disruptive.

Ellysia,
Jia you, I think u can consider yourself 3rd trim since last week. Yah, that prob explains why u start to feel more tired again.

morraine,

I haven't check.. maybe u are right may not be able to use during confinement..
I also will get a normal binder in case of c-sect cos Osim one cannot use if c-sect.

Normal binder wat brand is good?
 
Ellysia,
I heard many ppl say the malay massage helps leh. Maybe should consider. Of course, going to the gym also good lah, can tone up other parts of body.
 
Felicia,

Is yr malay massage women come with massage bed? Cos i know some come with their own massage bed, may be more convenient.

How many sessions is required?
 
Kylene/ bizznow,

Thanks for the info. So ended on 23 Mar, then maybe i'm able to go weekday as i'll be on leave only on 20 Mar for check up. If go weekend, sure lot of ppl.
 
ellysia,

If c-sec, you cant go gym so fast oso. Even last time, when i want to sign up yoga (after 6mths of c-sec), they oso asked me to take letter from my gynae before they agreed to let me join the class.
For the massage lady, i'm not too sure. But i think my friend did mentioned something about mat lah. I'm still trying to schedule another session with her to try out her service.
 
<font color="0077aa">ellysia*

hmmm im not sure coz i did not use but i can ask my frens who c sect which brand they use ba.. mine is natural and i counted on the binds which my massage lady gave me.. i treat it as a way to relax oso during confinement coz i love massages and can get rid of alot of wind &amp; water retention oso inside us &amp; my previous massage lady oso massaged my ger oso tat time

ellysia,

Aiya, just saw ur question on how many sessions.
U mean pre-natal or post natal? For post natal, normally is recommend to do for continuous 5-7 days.
 
Felicia &amp; morraine,

Yr massage lady do massage on mat so is it on the floor? Or on yr bed? Cos i dun tink i want to do massage on my bed cos bed shared with hb (wait got oil smell or watever..)

If it is on mat on the floor can consider, but i need to discuss with my mum again.

Felicia i am asking on post natal.
 
felicia,
my fren also recommended 1 lady to me..also charging @ $50 each time for the post natal massage..but i hvnt call n enquire lah..

tera,
u r welcome..yah lor..sian leh..sounds so disruptive hor..n the best part is they nvr even call or sms us to inform on the changes..
 
<font color="0077aa">ellysia*

mine is she wil ask u to prepare one mattress lor den i did mine on another mattress which i threw away after tat.. ha ha.. </font>
 
morraine,

OIC i got an unused mattress at home le.. hee. maybe can use. U do inside yr bedroom?
Cos i got no spare space inside bedroom, considering whether can try living room.

After u are wrapped up, how long then can removed the wrap? After remove wrap can bathe?
 
ellysia,

my previous massage lady do on single mattress which is on the floor but cover with a mat. So the smell only on the mat. I dont think can do on our bed as is high not convenient.

If only mat at floor, i think it'll be too hard for us to sleep on it.
 
<font color="0077aa">ellysia*

yeap just any mattress can liaoz
happy.gif
i did it in my other spare room tat time and she wil advise u to keep the wrap till she comes tomorrow again but for me.. i cannot tahan so by evening i wil unwrap and bathe</font>
 
for my case, i'll be doing my confinement @ my mum's place..n if i am not wrong she has extra mattress..so i think i can use dat lah..
 
tera,
yup got ur receipts liao..tks =D..

Ellysia,
I also engaging a malay massage lady lor...Already booked her yesterday =D..$50 per session, $500 for 10 session...my fren recommended to me, saying she quite good lor, so i just wan to give it a try =D.
 
morraine,

Ya i dun tink i can keep the wrap until next day, how to sleep like tat.

In this case i discuss with my mum again.. the problem is i dun have space at my house bec' i still need to cater space for my mum and bro to sleep too.
 
<font color="0077aa">bizz*

yeah best is use those at home which u can throw away after the massage sessions den can save $

ellysia*

for my massage lady, she wil tel me how many i need.. as for my first pregnancy, she told me 5 sessions enuff.. dun waste $$ so i heed her advise though i was dying for more massage.. haha.. if ur MBR floor can place one mattress and some movement space for the massage lady den u can consider inside ur MBR? anyway its a 2 hr affair only so can borrow ur bro's room for a while when he is not ard in the noon?</font>
 
Ellysia, when I go visit dr wong, she usually chat a bit like 5 to 10 mins then do the routine scan. After the scan, she will continue to talk a bit more like what to watch out etc. So far my visit all on weekdays, per visit usually about 30mins, not sure if it's long or short. If you got any questions, can email her also. As for losing weight, if can slim down to pre-pregnancy weight I happy liao.

ZuEn, good lei, you can stop drinking coffee, for me I tried to cut down but can't stop. Machiam drug addict, but is to coffee.
 
RE: Post Natal Massage
Its better to have extra mattress so will be easier for the lady to massage. I will be using back e same massage lady I used previous and swear to use her as i really like her &amp; skills &amp; her rates also not bad.

Natural birth recommend about 3-4days later.
Csect 2weeks or later depends on ur wound &amp; your comfortable level also. 7 session consective ranging from $350-$450 depending on location. E binding I also buay tahan, about 8hrs i take off liao esp BF la find it so difficult lo. I have bought the OSIM belt which come handy after that lo.

Normally we are not allow to bath during confinement (bt sometime we break e rules la). What I do is use hot towel to clean myself up after taking out e wrap lo.
 
bizznow, is it ??? How can ParentCraft like that ? Jin bad lei, I haven't heard anything from them also, thanks so much for the info, think I call them and ask.
 
morraine,

No my brother has no space to sleep..
My mum be sleeping in bb room. Then another room is study room and clustered with stuff liao. My brother wanna tag along during my confinement to help out, and he has to camp in the living room.

So if do massage, i have to tink of which space to do lor.

My house clustered with too many stuff liao lor.. cos last time me and hb like to gather many stuff in our parents house, married tat time my parents cannot tahan ask me to transfer to new house. Then my new house bedroom all small small one.. sianz. my space are in kitchen and living room.
 
<font color="0077aa">ellysia*

oic.. den u see if ur bb room can or not lor.. jus place one mattress onli.. dun need real big space.. take ur time to sort out the space issue

</font>
 
cynthia,

The wrap is at which section of yr body? just waist only?

Mog,

Tat time when parentcraft change my class venue, they only inform last minute just 1-2 hours before the lesson time. Many people complain bec they get the info late.
 
ellysia,
yah lor..anyway still got time mah..or u start clearing some of ur stuffs lor..hehe..then can make space mah..
happy.gif
 
ellysia,

Ya i agree with morraine, justa little space enough to place e mattress or even in ur room whereby u r sleeping doing ur confinement. They have ways to adjust themselves and squeeze yeah.

morraine,
After birth I bath in hospital hehehe cos go home sure die die cant do it lo. Only after 14th days i bath herbs but sometime i jus don care liao bath hotwater! Imagine so hot &amp; gynae also tel us to have basic cleaniness too lo esp our wound ma. Just tat I don wash my hair. Only till 1mth later I finally wash my hair &amp; stay in bath room for more than 30mins!!!
happy.gif


Some people will say drink more DOM to make ur body more warm so its ok lo.
 
Ok i discuss with my mum then see how.. she v ma fan, scared she dun want to let me do. Then i need her to help with confinement also bo piang listen to her.
 
Mog,

Becos i heard from fei fei tat the venue is changed so i ask hb to call them up just before we go lesson, tats why we got the info earlier. Some people got the info late and they came late for the lesson. got 1 lady go back to TMC wrong place and claim never received sms on change of venue. she is v upset, so end up my instructor waited 30mins for her. but in the end she also never turn up.
