Fennie, i'm not bothered lah. just find it funny so post it here. keke... I book a postnatal massage liao. the lady called Maya. I wanted to update her price on our yahoo group but like cannot lei. Issit only the host can add huh? The other day, i saw a mummy who just gave birth and accidentally she revealed her tummy area. I was shocked to see the skin "zhou zhou" and got abit worried after tat. Told hubby and he said,"That should be normal lah. He assured me after that" but I was still quite shocked. Think Mothers are really noble. lotsa changes in our body during our pregnancy n after giving birth.
Cactus, I see. At least now I know how a single child feels... I will bear tat in mind. Financial wise, we also quite simple. Maybe i must take into consideration that our salary will increase each year so a few more years, pay will increase then can substain #2. keke..
So this is ur #1 also? boy or gal?
Mrswrx>> Think ur ante-natal class starts in April right? Mine starts from March. so we r different batch. =)

hi kelcqi,
i dont like my MIL n seldom talk to her even when i'm at home but i nv brainwash my son not to like her overall is his grandmother n my MIL dotes my son too.... but to my surprised i think our children will start to know we dont like each other by observing cos my son dont really like my mil although she stays at home with him everyday.... it could be because MIL dont know how to play with him n maid is e main caregiver or my boy really can sense my relationship with my mil (but cannot be right my son is only 20months old).......... wat i can say is try not to brainwash ur child to hate someone, he/she will eventually understand n if we want them to be closer to us then we must spent more time with them instead of letting other ppl tat we dont like spent too much time with them.

Mylittleprince,
Yes. this is my #1. boy. Your #1 may not feel the way I did when I was younger.. don't let my comments get into you. actually, as our salary increase, there is also inflation. most important, I feel is to ask ourselves.. if we need to slog away at work.. no time with kids, is it worth it? If it's not worth it, then maybe stop at 1. Cos even 1 child can be very ex, depending on what expectations you have for the child.

mylittleprince,
actually i was lazy n didnt use any stretch mark cream for my #1, and i hv alot of stretch marks, but they are like silvery colour n not brown or black, yet it is there, and cannot be removed after that, so i can nvr wear bikini even if i am slim(luckily i am not la, so dont feel so bad abt it)envy those artiste lor, all have flat n smooth tummy, after giving birth, not sure what kind of treatment they do.
I think if the tummy expanded alot during pregnancy, then after that will have alot of access at the tummy area, but i think good post natal massage shld help, my tummy didnt grow too big for #1, so i dont have much access

hi ZuEn,
glad to know tat baby ZuEn is growing well, are u delivering at TMC?? cos if u r u might want to consider my boy PD who is specialist in premature or low birth weight baby. He is Dr Ong Eng Keow from singapore baby's n child clinic located at TMC level 5, i understand that he is specialist in looking after premature/low birth weight baby cos sometimes when i bring my child to see him he will be on standby to check on baby who are premature or too small or twins etc.. but i'm not sure if those parents choose to see him before delivery or their gynae recommend. u might want to consider to request for him to see ur baby once ur baby is out cos all newborns must be check by a PD once after they are deliver. One thing to take note is tat his fees are higher than other PD but i dont know how much higher.

Though now i not workin n hb is e sole breadwinner nw but proper budget stil can manage. Ok la i also don wish much, once a while club, go trip once a yr

Catcus,
Hehe, heng it's on the left hand. Mine both hands pain. Dunno why. Massage liao still like that.
Ellysia,
Wah, Dangerous move leh. Wat if your mama decided to play u out?
Elaine,
I don't brainwash, I scare my MIL brainwash her. So I take action faster. U know hor, she last time always tell my hubby n his bro to "xiao shun" her next time cos she look after them. Next time she spending so much time wif my gal, I don't know what she gonna say to her. U know my friend's grandma last time always badmouth her mum to her, den when her mum had her bro, the grandma told my friend her mum had a bro cos she dun like her.
I cannot imagine next time my MIL go n tell stories to my gal. She already badmouth me to hubby, and sow discord, I cannot deny the possibilities of her sowing discord between me and my gal next time also... You get what I mean??
Cynthia,
That's what I'm worried. My MIL will always make me look like a bad person next time. Even hubby and I quarrel, very obvious is hubby at fault, she can still blame me for making my hubby angry. No matter what, she gave me a feeling her arrows always aiming at me... Everything she can comment one...

Hi Elaine,
Wow our kids the same age... u was not in the Aug 2006 thread? I still keep in touch with the mummies there to share also
Now I wait till the HFM issue quiet down a bit before letting my gal go to school. Most properly will send her when she is 2 in aug or latest when she reach 30mths. Sometime have no choice just to pacify everyone
SIAN!
Morning FeiFei,
Wow ur bb growing pretty well! I will bath frm the 12days but not so frequent. Meantime I will use chinese white wine to wipe my body. That time when I was in hospital b4 discharge I secretly have a quick bath without washing hair hehehe. Back home cant do it cos ppl is watching yeah! I remember b4 labour, I have a long bath take my time and drink my chicken essence... if not cant be able to bath liao
I try omit washing my hair even after 12days. I heard too many stories frm ppl around me having headaches etc so.. i rather bear with it since i have migraine frequent too.
I was hoping to get induce if hit the weight. Though my EDD is around mid June, I was hoping bb to come in early june so my mum will have at least 2weeks with me doing confinement b4 sch reopen lo... I think this round I didnt eat very well too just as per normal 3 meals a day seldom snacks. Think bb shld be hitting 3kg when due just like her jiejie
Actually it is very true bb will lose some weight upon discharge. My #1 out 3.33kg and when discharge was about 3.1kg.
ZuEn,
Sat time flies veri fast one! And sometime Zuo Bo also.. walk here n there chat awhile GO HOME yeah.
Cactus,
You so on to climb stairs! For me I will be panting though still can manage to climb overhead bridge and MRT stairs at times. Actually we can do squating too which help to soften our pelvic bones too so when we labour wont be so tighten and faster bah. That is what I been doing when expecting my #1. I only do squating when I reach 34weeks.

hi ZuEn,
PD is for a e point of delivery till e day ur baby discharge from hospital then i think e 5th day also must go see PD again to check overall n see whether gOt jaundice...... some ppl will start to change PD after tat but for my case i didnt n till now my boy still goes back to TMC for jab n when he is sick.
Kelcqi,
since ur MIL might badmouth u to ur child then i thk better dont let her look after ur children next time cos if she is e main caregiver then it is so so so bad for ur children mental health cos they wont know who to side or who to believe.
cynthia,

Hi feifei
The dang shen you boil soup or drink like longan tea? Last confinement I didnt drink dangshen... Only dang gui, but that's only for replenish blood. Think some dang shen to bu qi will be good. I will ask my mum to help me buy some. She gotten me red dates, longan, wolfberries liao. The remaining will be later.
Black fungus - Okie, can add to sesame oil ginger chicken. yummy.
Confinement alone - yes, but i have a maid. So she will do the cooking under my instructions lor. Should be quite simple lah, loads of ginger and sesame oil lor.
But i dun eat kidney though and the vinegar pig trotters.
Actually, according to my IL, chicken and egg cannot eat in the first week. Something abt poisonous. Dunno how true. Certain fish also cannot like kampong fish, kuning (those nasi lemak type). Better eat bigger fish like salmon, cod fish, ngor herr, pomfret etc.
Anything considered liang, cannot eat. Like watercress, kang kong, long white cabbage, nai bai, turnip. Stick to spinach, beans, chinese spinach, chye sim etc.
Any soup to recommend for breast feeding? Papaya fish soup - green papaya or the ripe ones? Any fish bones?
Liver and spinach soup is good. Iron rich.
Any mummies here VERY breatheless? Eg, even sitting down. I am experiencing it and it is getting worst. If like last pregnancy, it means popping anytime SOON. shucks.

Hi gers,
Looks like nobody is here on a Sunday morning..
Felicia,
I think I am not the only MTB who worked on Sat. I heard there are plans to move to alt Sat. Supposed to implement in Mar 08 but havent seen anything until now. Haiz.. It will be great if the Company can implement alt Sat, then I will have more time for my bb. My hb works on Sat too. In fact, he works everyday. He is working now too, just that if not too busy, can come home early.
Re: Swelling feet
My MIL fell down yday and broke her wrist. We spent 5 hours in NUH waiting and waiting and waiting. Bcos there was no place to put my feet up, they look awfully swollen by the end of the day. Sob. All of a sudden, I hope that my bb can come out at 37th week. How to move on to plan for #2??

He is working now too, just that if not too busy, can come home early.
Re: Swelling feet
My MIL fell down yday and broke her wrist. We spent 5 hours in NUH waiting and waiting and waiting. Bcos there was no place to put my feet up, they look awfully swollen by the end of the day. Sob. All of a sudden, I hope that my bb can come out at 37th week. How to move on to plan for #2??

Hi feifei,
She's resting at home now. Supposed to go back for a review on Wed. The specialist will decide then if an operation is necessary. That's the thing with old age for us lah. Bone will be super fragile and brittle. She didnt really fell down. She merely slipped and banged her arm on the door and the bone was fractured. So poor thing. Thankfully, it was the left wrist. But as expected from people their age, a lot of complaints and whinning and stuff.
Ya, didnt manage to get rid of the swell (totally) despite a night's rest. I am wondering how I am gg to squeeze into my shoes on Monday morning. Haha. I realised that no need to walk, feet oso will swell. So long as we dun prop them up. Aiyo..

Good morning mummies!!
I took out and assembled my first stage baby cot liao. Sunning the old mattress too.
My elder is so excited and keeps pushing the cot all over the house.
Oh dear, ZuEn, your poor MIL...Old folks cannot afford to fall down one, cos like you mentioned on brittle bones. Can be very pain and cumnbersome in long run. Reminds us to up our calcium intake to build up for old age.
Glad your swelling is down.
Hi feifei
Hmm... I understand dang shen can boil soup also. This time round, I must really be diligent to bu myself cos prob last pregnancy liao, next time no chance. kekeke... I think I will cook herbal soup daily using slow cooker.
Green papaya can be bought at normal market? Black bean soup with chicken legs... yummy.

Happy Sunday mummies!
Had been reading some of the posts earlier on but no time to post any message as i had to entertained my #1. She keep want got me to play with her. So, now i open her music vcd to entertain her else where time to do my own things.
ZuEn,
Wats ur hubby occupation? why need to work everday? Doing own business, issit? My hubby is working today oso, he's work in manufacturing line so need to do shift work. So, basically we had one day family day only.
Dang shen :- my last confinement, my mil will put dang shen + red dates + black dates + longan into slow cooker to boiled. After that she'll pour out the water to thermos flasks for my whole day drinks. I find the taste quite ok but bit thick lor. So this round i request my mil to boil alternate red dates or blk dates only.

feifei,
Last time i was c-sec, i totally avoid chicken meat for more than 2 weeks leh, and i din take any eggs for the 1st mth. Heard tat duck meat is more poisonous chicken meat, and i din touch duck for at least 3 mths (luckiy i dont fancy duck meat).
I started my fish meat only after 1 week, so basically for the 1st week, all was pork meat or pig spare parts. I really suffered for it.
So, if u do plan for c-sec, you might want to do some survey to prepare ur confinement food. Unless you had some one experience in doing confinement for you.

feifei,
My bb is 2.3KG @ 34 weeks, which will give an estimation of 3.1 to 3.2KG at 40 weeks.
Therefore if yr bb is bigger, it is probably likely to hit 3.5 or beyond if due at 40 weeks.
Linda,
I been feeling breatheless too, even sometimes before sleep. But gynae and my co doc said tat if BB engage, i will not feel so breathless as BB has move down with space on top to breathe.
Btw, is black beans good for confinement? i heard my mum said but she is not v sure.

Hi mummies
Just came back from M'sia grocery shopping. Prob last one before i pop!
went to get milk powder for the elder one and to confirm the sales of similac from the provision shop in malaysia. kekeke...KS hor? But can really save alot. Once baby is ok with the trial tin I bought in SGP, can start buying in bulk for him in MSIA liao.
Anyone bought diapers? So far, i gotten huggies comfort, ultra. Got half a pack of drypers from a fren, all in S and newborn size. Saw Pureen Premium. Feels soft too. But didnt see this brand in Singapore. Anyone knows where?
hi feifei
My mum is a good cantonese soup cook and we grew up with soups..and we always think that such soups are nutritional. My girl loves them too!! So since i am doing confinement myself, I can decide what i want or not want, unlike last round with MIL cooking, cannot be fussy. I didnt have much soups last round.
This is my second child, most likely will stop at 2, was thinking of ligation but hubby says we might just decide to have another one later so better not since it is irreversible. Any one with any birth control ideas to share? Thinking of the arm implant.
Hi ellysia
Cynthia mentioned black beans soup is good for breast feeding mums. My MIL did mentioned that it is good to clear the blood. Personally I dun fancy it. haha... think i will rely mainly on chinese herbs like huai shan, dang shen, lu zhu, red dates, wolfberries etc.
BTW, wolfberries can give our kids in porridge. Supposed to be good for eyes.
You feel breatheless easily? Sigh me too... and I hate it. I only had that last week of pregnancy in my first, hence I suspect I can be popping soon. Or just body weak?
Hi Felicia
Who will be caring for your elder when you go hospital? My worry is that my girl, who has never slept without me will wake up crying if I leave her alone with the maid. My hubby suggest that we bring her to the hospital if I pop at night,but then where and how would she sleep? She cannot go into the delivery suite.
