hi iamsnow, try not to go for foot massages unless it is by a therapist who is specialised in massages for pregnant women. I regularly went for massages before pregnancy, like once a month, but after knew was pregnant, the lady didn't want to do for me. Said if it's my first pregnancy, she can only do for me with safe essential oils during my 3rd trimester and she has to avoid the soles of my foot and tummy and lower back to avoid preg complications. She said if it's subsequent pregnancies, can massage limited areas with reduced pressure from 2nd trimester onwards.
But if you go for a place for pregnant women, then it should be safe.

iamsnow,
do go to experience foot massagers,
cause there's a lot of "xue dao" on our feet.
Have you been taking cooling stuffs?
E.g. Cold drinks, chilled drinks, cold food,
cucumber, bitter groud, cabbage, coconut stuffs, curry, etc...
Are your feet cold at night,
do u cover with blanket or wear socks?

I second Leng Leng. My grandma has been telling me sleep with socks and sleep with long pants (those that cover the knee). I wear the slightly furry sort of of long track pants (all the way to feet) to sleep (adidas) so dun need to cover with blanket. but when I wear the most plastic/cloth/thinner type of pants, I need to cover with blanket. My IL's place flooring is marble so sometimes, I even wear bedroom slippers when I walk about in the day (no socks lah).

Dear all,
if you are feeling fainting,
do not drink water hor...
1. Unless water is warm, else it may bring our blood pressure lower.
2. If we really faint, we may choke on the water.
Just sit down & take deep breath,
if u r standing, grab to something firmly & take deep breath.

shycloud,
My last visit was in my 12th week, so I have to wait for 4+ weeks to see my bb again. So torturing.
iamsnow,
I read somewhere that beauty salon has started massage courses for pre & post pregnancy bcos of the increasing demand. It is supposed to help to relax the body and also to help the body get back to shape after giving birth. But cant remember which salon(s) provide such services. I suppose they are not cheap either..

cactus_79,
too early for bookings lah,
do be careful of confinement ladies & massage ladies recommandations in the forum,
there's lots of bad comments.
There's some who ask for deposit & run away...
Anyway, mine was $45 a session, about 1-1.5 hour.

Ai yoh, Leng Leng. Now you are making me worried. how to tell which is good, which is bad? My SIL had a malay lady. that was 2 years ago. She said so -so. My MIL is quite a boastful lady... she keeps saying the malay lady is very very good... so I can't really tell if she is truly good or not... also dun know how her skills are like now.

Hello... everyone. Rest till back ache liao. Talking about massage lady? I would still prefer to stick to agency's recommendations.. e.g. golden wellness. Though it's more expensive.. at least I need not be afraid that she'll run away with my deposits! And if they're not doing a good job, I know how and where to give feedback... - Never trust freelancing job!I've learnt the hard way

Hi gers,
Good morning.. A rainy morning. Had a hard time trying to yank myself out of the bed this morning.
Last nite, I was trying the method recommended here to feel bb's movement.. Nothing leh.. I think my bb sleepyhead like me. This morning, I tried again but still nothing leh. I think weather too nice, bb dun want to wake up. ;p
Crystal, iamsnow,
I got backache last nite too. Went for double dosage of the yoko yoko.. I wonder if it has anything to do with the weather. Toss and turn for awhile to find a good position to sleep in.
