Good morning!
Dor Dor
Congrats on passing your GD test!
Do1nk
Like what Dor Dor said, most prefer to tear rather than have an episiotomy. Docs prefer epi 'cos it's easier for them. But epi cuts into more layers than a tear. There's lots of info online.
Fish oil
I also take it while preggie and bfg. And prenatal vit and calcium.

morning mummies!
yawn. so hard to get out of bed this morning
catherine
they have moved to pagoda st. i know they have another photog called candida. i believe she will be the one taking the pics
do1nk
i have pre nat, iron and calcium from gynae. not taking fish oil but trying to take salmon on quite a regular basis. but quite funny that you're still on folic. i'm off it cos it's a component in my pre nat pills.
fish oil - the nurses at the clinic tell me there are many different grades so you can buy them anywhere at varied prices but the compositions are different la.
dor dor
congrats on passing your test!!!
just to share - whoever is on iron pills, that contributes to constipation and it makes your sai a very weird colour

hi pinkbunny, usually i will ask you to wait for the Motherhood Fair (we have a booth there) from June 5-8 to see the promotions we will be offering but after a meeting with my partner yesterday, we have decided that it's time to raise our basic packages pricing. So now would be a good time for you to organise an LBS BP if you want to make good of the old pricing. you can email me if you like on this matter
when i am away on maternity leave (which will only be for 1 month la), my assistant Ashley will be around to shoot for LBS together with our new girl Charlene. during my absence there will be no Bloom shoots though.
======</font>
so i will organise a BP for 'little big shots' (for kids) for us so that we can take advantage of the lower rates ok? i believe that there is quite a long 'expiry date' to this so we can wait till our little ones are like 6 months old even, to arrange for a photo session.
will give you girls more info when i get it

Morning mummies!
re: episotomy
think it really depends on how elastic our flesh is gonna stretch there, the size of baby nad the judgement call made by the gynae. if it's gonna be a moderate to big tear i would prefer to have an episotomy done as it heals better than a tear. 2 friends of mine had bad tear and took a onger time to heal and one told me she can feel the bulging scar even after months, maybe bcos the skin didn't adhere as properly as it should be.
re: lasik
yup nowadays lots of places offering cheap lasik at 2K+ but for eyes this kinda of thing better to seek more reliable and safe source. i did it in parkway eye ctr in gleneagles, the doc always gets interviewed on tv. and he's very confident and his record is very clean, none of his patients get infection post op.
re: drinking water
although my gal hates to drink water too, but i dun think it's bcos i introduce water to her late lor...my mil keeps insisting on feeding baby water but her son(my hubby) also doesn't like to drink water one leh...haha (so i think it's very individual preference lah)

SY,
wah didn't know SNEC charges dropped so much, but alot of private practice also very cheap now. but i preferred to do it in private, very fast. by the way, i used intralase(which cost more) to do the cutting of flap and not the old method of manual keratome(use blade to cut flap open manually), so it heals faster and better result

wah...why do I feel sleepy all the time?? haha
okie I must go read up more about tearing vs episiotomy...
so far, the iron pills I'm taking doesn't give me constipation and colour of poo is normal too.. I'm not sure why I'm still taking folic acid at this stage either, but I'm surely not getting any other supplements..
for those of you taking fish oil, is it from your gynae or are you voluntarily taking it on your own too? how do we know what to get and how much to take?
didn't know robinsons having sale at expo...
hmm so is it a 4 day 15% sale at mothercare or is it a longer sale at 25%? whatever the case..think I'll go this weekend...

DorDor,
Congrats on passing your GD test.
Me too weird leh, during preggy bowel movement is smoother than pre-preggy which is good for me cos i have history of constipation since young. ever since after desiree, it is so much better.
do1nk,
you are not the only 1, me too feel sleepy everyday. whaha, how to tong till delivery.

labbit
oh is it? change in colour means not absorbed?? then how to make it absorb ah?
fiona
you mind sending me that letter you were talking about? about lasik?
SY
nope i've not called anyone about motherhood fair. busy ler.
re sleepiness
i'm sleepy towards end of the work day but quite awake when actually in bed. i think it's cos i have to get up 3-4 times to pee before falling asleep. then now, standard, will wake up at 3-4am, go pee, and then feel hungry so must eat
lately been getting the ear throbbing thing again (can hear my heart beating in my left ear)

yup, lbt is right...heard that before... n u may already know: dun take your calcium pills or drink milk/soya a couple of hours before and after taking your iron pills coz it will deter your body from absorbing the iron..so my gynae told me to drink milk in the morning, and take my iron pills in the evening...
wah..I've always been so tempted to go for lasik, but never had the guts to put my only pair of eyes under dat kinda risk...
fish oil: neurogain huh...and what's the dosage like? okie I will ask my cover gynae (my gynae going on holiday soon) next visit...if he dun give, I go get my own....

pinkbunny
My gynea told me my iron pills will not cos much constipation 1. But now I still abit scared to take cos after vomiting(all water cos before food) yest I keep burping something smelly....eeeeeee
do1nk
Think normally ur gynea should have. I think the 1s for prenatal are more ex cos the composition is more. Mine cos me $45 per box.
N since u are taking for bb I think better to take the brand ur gynea intro rather then take outside brand n bb gets less of it.

re constipation
hmm i heard that generally iron tablets are heaty and thus cause constipation. but then again i AM eating alot of chocolate too haha. why don't you take your tablets after food? i always take WITH food hehe
re fish oil
nurse at gynae clinic was recommending fish oil but she said it's up to me, if i don't want, can also get through salmon. but i have neglected salmon intake for a while so better start on the tablets la hehe

SY,
Thanks for the Pigeon lobang. When will prices go up? I will definitely stock up 'cos I am still using their stuff!
Mothercare sale
Really 25% until 25 May at Harbourfront? If anyone goes, can confirm before that date please? Then I will go. If not, very far lah. Thank you!
Fish oil
Gynae also gave me Neurogain, and the nurses told me to continue taking while bfg too. I think quite a number of us are taking that.
Fiona,
I got mine from Bliss Confinement. It's been mentioned in one of the threads somewhere here and you can find it online. It's my first CL, so I have no idea what to expect. I just want to have someone around to help me out when I need, and to take care of the cooking. She won't have to do might feeds etc since I co-sleep and breastfeed, so I want her to take care of things properly during the day.

Actually hor dunno if u believe the chinese stuff lah but starting of preg we can take alot of heaty stuff but not cooling stuff right. Now nearing end of pregnancy our body is starting to be heaty liao so we cannot take so much heaty stuff anymore.
I think that's why we can take coconut also so better try not to take so much chocolates cos heaty aah.
My last preg bout 8mths my FIL still make the chix soup with dunno wat for me to drink n its so heaty lor. The next day onwards I keep feeling so heaty n got alot of phlegm keep having to clear my throat n all the way till I gave birth leh. My water bag also jus nice broke when I 'Ahem' to clear my throat.....hahaha
That's why I tot I had incontinence...hehe
So this time I more wary liao dun wanna have the stupid phlegm again.

Mothercare sale
I think not all items are 25% off. And the 15% off storewide got small print 'terms & conditions apply'. The ads is on their website http://www.mothercare.com.sg
Groin pain
Mine is only on the right side, dunno why. When I wake up at night to go to the loo I walk like cowboy.
BB position
The heaviest part of a baby is the bum. So going on all four with your own bum raised high will help BB to rotate head down with the help of gravity.

hello all....
updates! updates!
yesterday bbA's doc in charge updated me that bbA might be able to go home in 1-2weeks time...
she's progressing well except suckling on bottles. she tends to forget abt breathing while suckling or forget abt swallowing while suckling.. doc said it's normal cos bb normally learns how to suck from 34weeks onwards.. her weight on 23 May is 1.9kg
