i have another space that acts like a storeroom. cannot put as much stuff but we make do with it. we have shelving there so just stack as much stuff as we can.
stephanie
can your MIL and her mother combine one room? seems weird that in the end your bb got no room when it's your place!
sonic
i know what u mean. tat's why i told my maid must open the door to sleep but she still close the door until only a small vent. cos the back is very windy and she scared of the cold. if not, u corner a small place for her in living room.

i dunno dragon brand is really good but so far the one i bought taste not too sweet, concentrated and within my budget plus i'm really lousy in the kitchen so i just stick to the "safer" choice
do1nk:
you're right!! but it's really not up to me to tell them what to do coz husband kept quiet whenever i brought up the topic. MIL offered to have baby cot put in her room sleep with her. What can i say?! sometimes when the hormonal imbalance strike, really regret getting pregnant even before husband and his family willing to compromise! but i'm not getting younger so bo bian... have to think for myself first. just pray that after baby born they will love baby enough to want to make sacrifices themselves willingly...

heehee stephanie,
since ur mil volunteer to bunk in with baby, then let her try. NB will wake up frequently for feeds, and i'm sure she will be disturbed. hahaha then maybe she will gv up the room?

i have no complaints abt my MIL. she's really unlike the traditional MIL and she helps me with most of the housechores
so i really don't want to "torture" her. also she's working now.
then again, never under-estimate the older folks. they need much lesser sleep than us!!! hehee...
i'm quite ashamed with saying this but can i just ask whether is it normal for me to feel possessive with my child tho not born yet? if born liao dunno how ..

stephanie,
why are u ashamed to feel possessive? I tot its quite natural for a 1st time mum to feel this way.
Or did u exhibit any extreme behaviour that u feel very paiseh abt?

sereneyap,
thanks for your advise.
SY
the doc don dare to give me any. afraid that it might affect the baby.
so he advise better ask gynae as he is specialist in this.
I am really pretty worried. as the doc did mention if the itch goes to my nipples, i may not be able to breast feed my baby.
oh my....

dont know leh that time in need of non-underwired bra then go buy at Maternity House together with Maternity pants. Save $ no need to buy normal underwired bra. Just wear Nursing bra throughout? heh.
Re BirdNest
I also think so that Dragon brand less feathers. That time i bought the 6 bottles type and also the concentrated bottles. I normally eat from the concentrated bottle. 1 bottle (abt 2x the size of normal small one) full of bird nest i think 40-50+? Cant really remember. Not bad but its not supposed to eat 1 whole bottle at a time. Its by teaspoon and finish in a wk preferably.
Lucky for me I have 2 more spare rooms. We corner one area as additional room so total 4rooms. So 1 room, no aircon will be for BB and the one with aircon for my mother to zzzzz if she stayed over. But earlier on during confinment, i will put BB in my room so that we can attend asap. But I really dont want to zzzz with husb because he is SNORRING. I cannot stand noise when i sleep. Ever since I get pregnant, he was sleeping in his own computer rm hehehee. with a mattress on the floor. sound poor thing but i'm even poor thing if i zzzzz with him. I will go in and out of zzz because of his snore. then rest of the day i will be in hot temper. no good for me n bb But that means during confinment, must sleep with husb? *faint*
As for MIL, dont cannot bear with BB in their room because she already offer her room. otherwise, put bb in yr own room? rearrange furniture. at least ve MIL to help look after BB and can come back see BB lor.
i am going to put BB at mum place and then that means i only get to see BB 3-4x per wk nia. and with the travelling etc, sure tired one. ZZZZZzzz

it is natural for a mum to feel possesive abt her kids. even now, my hb says i m possesive over my boy. i can't stand it when my boy ask for my maid too often..haha. but i m trying to let go more cos going to have #2. cannot expect #1 to only stick to me.
hmm, how come your hb doesn't want to talk to them abt this topic of sharing room? is there a reason why your MIL doesn't want to share room with her mother? bb stuff can take up quite a bit of space. are you planning to let bb sleep with u then?
u know, this funny situation u have is not unique. my SIL stays with my IL. they will be moving to their new place soon. the weird thing is, my SIL and her hb will take one room, my MIL will take one room and my FIL will take the last room. so next time my SIL's kids have no room. i did mention before how come the situtaion is so weird. My MIL also said the bb can share room with her. then i said yah, like my neighbour whose MIL share with the bb and maid. my MIL immediately said she dun want the maid in the room. anyway my hb told me not to comment too much in case my IL wan to come to stay with us..haha
maybe u try to talk to your hb separately on this? still have abt 6 months to go...
qing
your itch sounds really bad. maybe u do a search on internet to see whether got any pregnancy website got any remedies or any recommendations for lotions or medicine that can help? that way, u r better informed on what are the medicines that are suitable.

ya he said can drink up to 12 cups! But then he also added ‘not everyone will, and not everyday’. According to him, it’s supposedly safe. Funny, he seems to give quite differing advice from many other gynaes. Maybe cos he’s not that old and maybe more liberal? I dunno. I just follow the stuff that seems ‘right’ to me hehe.
Jang
Tummy cream = stretch mark cream? I’m using on tummy. ON about the diapers. Better buy while promo is on! Thanks for the tip!
Itchy nippes
Ya the areola part (correct spelling or not? All return to Bio teacher liao hehe). I think it’s become darker and bigger. I never quite noticed.
Sleeping on left
Not that it’s better or what but it’s supposed to be more comfortable cos your heart no need to work so hard I think.
Stephanie
Did you say that your MIL’s mum stays with you? Wow!
Headaches
Read somewhere that hot air helps so before popping panadol (again, gynae says ok but in moderation), can try turning on the hair dryer. Apparently it will relax the muscles or something then not so tense = not so headachy. But I think I read in some woman’s magazine so dunno whether can trust or not.
Birds nest
Sorry but the ‘raw’ birds nest can get from any medical hall kind is it? How much is too much? I’m taking brands now and it’s so nice but I heard that brands put more ‘stabiliser’ to make the birds nest look more plump. But it apparently doesn’t have any effect on us. Eu yan sang is supposed to be more natural. *shrug*
tailbone and backside cramps
ok so far everyone i talk to who's had a baby does not know about this and nobody believes me. in first trimester i got this alot. then it went away and today i felt it again. my tailbone will feel very sng and then for a few seconds my butt will kena cramp :S anyone feel this too? or is it really my imagination!
some say maybe it's just joints loosening. but it's a super funny thing to experience!

Oh no, today my tummy starts to itch. its the left side of the tummy. *faint* think must start to put tummy cream or what. really not sure if i shld put horse oil. *blur mode*
I dont have cramps leh. before pregnant, i will have tight joints (kneecap). lack of lubricant so tt time take glucosamine. and i still so young. wapiang eh. then after pregnant they said joints will be loose etc so now my joints also not tight. PHEW.
but i have backside aching when i sleep for too long. and i dont face insomnia. PHEWWWWWWWWWW. heartburn & vomiting are ENOUGH!

Hi Karen,
Yar. Me too. Headache and no sleep..... But now, I don't go washroom so often as before.
Pinkbunny,
I had pain in my buttocks before for a few days before it went away.I read it somewhere it could be due to the foetus pressing on the nerve. However I'm not sure if that's the case or not. But I will feel my stomach stretching pain lor.

Maybe can stock up for 1st mth lor but depends on ur bb's growth also if ur bb big size n grow alot during 1st mth might outgrow the NB size.
Last time confinement must take opportunity to go out for a breather at least once a week ma so will go NTUC to replenish stocks lor hahaha.
Actually I think heard before they say bottled birdnest not good cos u dunno the quality of the birdnest n also the sugar level is higher. But bottled ones more convinent ma...hehe
Stephanie
Its common lah. U feel possesive over ur own flesh n blood wat. Like me my mil is not working n stays in the same block as me but I rather quit my job n be my son's sole caretaker as I dun think I will be able to take it if he becomes closer to someone else other then me.
Sleeping on left
If I remember correctly its becos of some major blood vessel or something to the same effect lah. SLeep on left won't press on any major body parts so will be better won't cut off blood flow or oxygen flow to bb something like that...hehe
But I know when in 3rd tri not supposed to sleep on our backs liao cos bb's weight will be pressing on us not good.

sonic,
ya my maid sleeps in the living room. normally we will go back to our rooms at 10pm lor, so she can sleeps then.
however, sometimes my hb wanna watch cable tv in living room and it's getting late, we will ask her to sleep too..
she wakes up 6am (she's the 1st one to wake up) so it's not so inconvenient.

sleeping on the left:
when i attended antenatal classes at KKH, the guy who taught us how to exercise said that it's best to sleep on the left cos major blood vessels located mostly on the left side and something like to promote smooth blood flow. however, he added there's still no evidence to proof on that. so sleeping on left or right does not matter.
bird nest:
i bought the 'raw' one but cleaned liao, no feathers. and i will boil it myself with slow cooker for 1.5 hours. i prefer that cos i can control the sweetness and sometimes i can add things i like for eg Pao Sheng or cordyceps.

Sept03 Bride:
Nope, i haven't done anything mean towards my in-laws. I always have smiling face for them for the past 2 yrs we've been staying together. it's just that when she offered to put baby cot in her room, i was so negatively affected that i couldn't sleep the whole night. Like what Dor_dor and SY said, won't feel nice should my child feel closer to MIL than me. I saw how kids cry when their mummy take them away from gong gong / ah mah... wow.. dunno how i'll feel if i'm the mummy. heard from my friends... not a nice feeling esp when the kid cry at night want to look for ah mah.
SY:
I really am clueless why mother & daughter can't share 1 room. maybe the rooms are quite small. my mum told me not to say anything to the in-laws in case i offend them and that i shd let husband talk to his mum but seems like he'd rather move to a bigger place than talk to his mum despite the fact that we love our current place. MAN!!! It's really nice and comforting hearing kind words from you ladies. I've been talking to the wall when i talk to the husband abt this issue even before i was pregnant... Your hubby is sooo "understanding".. lucky you hehe...
Qing:
the nipple cream i bought from watson is actually meant for breast feeding mums. it says no need to wipe off even before breastfeeding. there's only 1 brand i saw in watson, maybe you wanna take a look. that's why i bought it coz now tested it, i can continues using after baby is born.
Karen:
Hi Karen... i've had the same problem as you for the past 2 months... even last night, i woke up every 2 hours to pee and now i can't work .. that's why chatting here

oic Steph.
But i think not to worry abt bb not close to u. Just spend time with your baby and i think it should be okie.
Oh yes, ur mum is correct abt asking your HB to take the initiative to ask his mum to share rooms. It will not be nice for u to bring it up.

morning gals !!
ok so the topic is birdnest and staying with In laws ?
my MIL ask me not to take canned birdnest cos she is wary of the source and quality of the birdnest. She rather buy it raw and cook it herself.
Some mothers may feel possesive over their child which is very normal. That why I bring my child home everyday unless I have to work very late, I leave her with my mum. But becos I sleep with her every late, she is very close to me. but day time she stick to my mum.
Stephanie
when you sleep on the sides, make sure the leg touching the bed is straight. You shld not curl up your whole body, that will cause backache.

morning, mummies!
I sometimes feel a sharp pain in the abdomen when I stand up... hope it's nothing serious but juz some muscles stretching?
stephanie, how about the little baby sleeping with you in your room? I guess for those of us staying wiv in-laws, it's all about giving and taking.. look on the bright side, like you said, your house is spick and span, and you have an extra pair of hands and eyes to help take care of the baby..

hehehe topic on in laws very sianz one. the issue has been on going for GENERATIONS hahaha
anyway, unless one bring up her own kids, then just be mentally prepared that the kid will be sticky to the care taker, be it maid, MIL, mother etc. What to do right? I already 'see open liaoz' even b4 bb is born. If really so worry, then dont work, stay at home to take care of kid. Then bb wont be so sticky to other pple. but can control for how long? next time kid also will grow big. then have friends to stick to, gf/bf to stick to. the cycle just continues.
DorDor
Do u think stock up 5-6packets (58pcs per pack) of the NB size is ok or a bit risky that bb will outgrow them? because i have no idea how many bb will change per day and how long it will last.
hmn now wondering if japanese bb sizing abt the same as sg bb? hmn...
Re Birdnest
Why cook birdnest must cook 1.5hr? wapiang i dont have slow cooker. so i must go n get slow cooker too?
LBt
i still like to curl up n zzzzzz. although when i sleep on my right, i try to make sure my legs are bend and back is straight. but v tough. and i like to bend my right leg and put it over the left leg. Qiao er lang Dui hehe
Today morning i vomit out Yellow bitter liquid. Whats that? First time bitter liquid. Yucksss

as i say if bb sleep with u at nite, she/he will be close to you also. Not just the caretaker. that why I insist in bringing my child home everyday.
and dont need to stock up so much diaper. initally will change a lot of diaper cos bb poo very very frequently.
it's also good to get slow cooker now. when ur bb is 6-7 mths old, u need slow cooker to cook porridge for them also.
i think you vomited the gastric juice leh. u hungry ah ?

hmm stocking up of NB diapers, i think i will probably just get 1-2 packets of Mamypoko NB diapers. They hv this die-cut at the umbilical cord area which i tot is good.
For #1, i used huggies when my boy's umbilical cord just dropped off. I found blood at the belly button the next morning. Apparently i think the diapers kinda rubbed the umbilical cord constantly, hence the bleeding. I was worried man.

you're so right! in-laws stories never ending one. i think i'm very fortunate liao having understanding and helpful MIL. baby will sleep with me but husband will have to sleep in living room if baby wakes him up too often in the nights bo bian lor... he has to sacrifice something if he wants to be filial son and grandson. hopefully baby will grow up to be filial to us too

last time my son sleeps at midnite! as my maid say he cannot sleep one... so in the end i took over and let him sleep in the playpen in my own room. when he cries now (not often), I just pat him to sleep. never feed him or anything. my maid use to tell me he might be hungry which is not true now.
her method is wrong as now my nephew (4 yrs old) still wake up for milk feed...? think she thot is this way cos my mum taught her.

Ya...cloth diapers a lot of work...but i heart pain the $ also...so rather use washing machine...otherwise every 8pc of disposable, 1 mth == about 240pcs which is wah...cannot imagine how much $ *lol*
I was thinking of letting maid take 1 room and my ger the other room but then like that cannot close bedroom door...headache over the privacy thingy

aiyah i also got same problem. where to put #1 and #2 ?
ideally all bunk in with me will be the best but room space is limited.
so dunno yet and I dun want #1 to bunk in same room as maid !
i dont use cloth nappies cos v troublesome to wash and need time to dry. and I cant expect my mum to do the cooking and still wash nappies .. ahah she will go crazy.
if those using cloth nappies, need to get NappySan from those chinese medical hall to wash the nappies. It is to get rid of the urine and poo poo.
