my ger is taking S26 since born, she's quite plump when still an infant, now was bit chubby oso lah. But then hor, not necessary all bb drinking S26 will become fat, some bb might not be suitable to it, like my friend's daughter. She's very thin despite drinking S26, so finally her doc ask her change to oth milk powder.
very fat bbs tend to develop heart problems when they are adults, so need to watch their weight even if the increase in weight is only caused by milk powder. just sharing. My nephew gave up S26 after 1 year old. Now drinking Gain IQ. also very high in DHA but not suitable for newborns.

ya, i agreed that fat bb not very good oso. I read up an article on research done on fat babies, when they grow up, they tend to had more health problem.
Cactus, can i know why ur nephew gave up S26 after 1 yr old?
My ger had been continued follow up with the wyeth milk powder since i find her quite suitable with it, so dont think to change. Coz i got friend, after changing brand, her kid was not suitable and always sick.

cactus and felicia,
my friend's daughter also gave up S26 when she's 6 months old(she's now going 2 yrs old liao).. cos her PD said her weight is "too much" for her age and need to on "diet". So she changed her to Similac and skip 1 feeding per day for milk intake. So far, she's ok with Similac Gain IQ. That's why i let my girl to drink Similac since young. But, still i believe depends on indivual, some bb may get use to S26 and some may not.

aprilmum,
Yap, you reminded me that when my ger is at 6mths old, the PD asked me not to start solid with my ger 1st coz she said my ger weight is bit too much oso, but she din asked me to change milk powder lah. She juz asked me to delay solid food for my ger as afraid my ger weight will bounced too much.
But hor, after my ger started walking at 1 yr old, her weight is not increasing much liao, though she's quite tall compare to oth kids her age. Tats why i let her continue with it.
Moreover, i'm a S26 kid oso! hehe....

Good Day ladies,
Last nite Insomia again. This is really torturing. I get breathless regardless how I sleep. I wonder what happened to me...
ANyone of you had numb fingers? These few mornings I wake up feeling some numbness or pain at finger joints.
Ellysia,
I try not to complain to hubby also. I know that will make him feel trapped in between. My MIL full of complaints abt me to him. Sometimes I also very irritated when she does that.
I bot 2 coconuts yesterday. Have a feeling either get eaten up or my MIL will complain to hubby again. Btw, issit ok to take coconut water at nite?? Some ppl said cocobut very liang, and when taken in e evening, will worsen e effect.
Catcus,
S26 will have fat babies ah? No wonder I so fat. Me flabby flabby kind. Must be the S26 I drank when I was a baby...
FM: I am sticking to Friso cos of the feedbacks I got. Plus I read that Friso contain fibres, so prevent constipation in children.

Kelcqi,
Does u start swelling? I believe ur numbness feeeling and pain at finger joints was due to water retention. I remember during my #1 pregnancy, i swollen a lot and even finger oso swelling.
Then late 2nd trimester, me start to feel pain at finger joints and sometime finger cannot bend.
Dont worry, normal prob when u r nearer to ur EDD.

Felicia,
Swelling as in where? My fingers and toes does become fatter nowadays. My fingers all e while already very short and round, now even worst le.
So numbness and pain at joints is normal lah? My hubby said I nv exercise my hand enough, thats why I have numbness at fingers. Is there anyway to reduce the water retention?

Aprilmum,
I super hot juz now, so went to drink e coconut water also. But I scare of contraction, only drank half and left the half to hubby.
Feifei,
I think I did see Friso 1 for small bottle before at KKH pharmacy. Next Tue I go I help u see again.
ioio, feifei, aprilmum,
I also have swelling feet also. My thighs seem to double in size and my toes now so fat and short.
I tried massaging and doing finger exercise but I realized that the middle finger is especially more painful than the rest. Do you ladies experience that?

hi mummies to be
i am due end May and just started reading this thread. After reading the extensive discussion on epi, thot i shared my birth story to encourage. I delievered my first daughter 2 yrs ago without epi. I only used a bit of laughing gas during the actual delivery and mostly during stiching up time (too tired to endure pain anymore).
I admit myself during active labour and delivered her 3 hrs later. Its true that once in hospistal they will strapped you to baby monitoring machine, bed bound and just waiting for time and dilation to take place. Being home has advantage that I can walk and do many things. I was still doing laundry, cleaning baby room etc. The distraction helps to pass time esp early labour.
During active labour ie contractions 5 mins apart and more intense, i found breathing technique taught at antenatal class very effective. My hb will practise with me and pace me in the early stage. So by the time it was really intense, the technique is second nature to me. It kills the hyperventilation tendencies, fear and intense pain. I found that once i breathe right, i can rise above the pain literally. Its there, but i
am very calm and can take it. Walking around and changing positions eg. squat, sit etc. helps as well. I survive the most intense 4 hrs of active labour this way. Hope this sharing helps for those determined not to take epi.
after all that endurance, i thot i will take epi. but they told me i was too late and the worse is over. if i can handle that few hours, the next few is nothing. oh well....
so with some prep, it is possible to not take epi. And by the way, those ladies who suffer from intense menstrual cramps, take heart, you have a higher pain threshold than u think. Our mind is very powerful and critical when it comes to pain. If we are afriad, the pain is overwhelming. Breathing essentially takes away the fear for our body to manage the pain. As a mother, we always have to rise above ourselves to do the impossible. It starts with the experience of labour.

Morning ladies!
Kelcqi,
During my #1 pregnancy i had real bad swelling in finger and feet. And i had to take out my wedding ring around early 2nd trimester oredy. When finger swell, normally i'll try to do 'twinkle twinkle little star' exercise.
There're few times when i'm typing,my finger 'stucked' halfway. Then i had to slowly massage that finger. Is quite normal when ur finger start to swell, so juz do more finger exercise will do.

Hi ladies,
We are getting closer to the weekend. Hehe.
kelcqi, ioio, feifei, aprilmum,
My feet are starting to swell too. But it is always the right foot. A doc friend says that it is bcos the bb is lying on the right side. Good excuse to act ke lian in front of hb and make him massage for me. My swelling not too bad, I can still recognise my feet. My 38 weeks preggy colleague's feet are swelling so badly that she looks like walking on balloons..
Re: Breathing techniques
Err.. I never go for any classes wor. Can anybody share on teh breathing techniques? I think I will just anyhow breathe and scream during labour. Haha.

soyabean,
Because my thigh increase so much recently that my maternity pants are all tightly wrapped around my thigh and V-area and its v uncomfortable as it cut into my v-area. Then my top also become so short due to increased size in tummy (cos my tummy tend to grow out instead of grow at the sides) and i ored run out of long tops.
