Hi Limay,
haha, actually I asked my friend the same question, and she said she also dunno how come spend so much, since most of the wine she used to cook the soup are gifts from her friends. I guess the herbs etc are pretty ex... my friend did have several soups a day, incl one just before bed etc.
Confinement food are supposed to be 'bu', remove water retention and wind etc. I did not have a good first confinement, so this time round, I think better do a proper one lah, even if it's ex. Since I am intending to close shop after this no. 2 liao
Actually I did not like pig's trotters before my confinement.. but maybe that was before I ate what my FIL prepared... his pigs trotters are superb! I can't wait to eat that for my confinement now actually... haha!
Confinement food also has alot to do with how your wound recover, esp if you are having c-section. My c-section wound is awful - thick and darker brown than my skin. My friend's c-sec wound is hardly noticeable... avoid chicken in the first weeks after c-section...

jasmine: u can try drinking luohan guo herbal tea...i think it will help to soothe sore throat.
and yes, drink more honey..buy those good ones..i was sick last week too, kept drinking on honey propolis, good honey etc...it will help to boost your own immune system to fight against the virus. Of course, resting is very important since we can't rely on medicine now.
drink warm water with honey.., oh yes, I boiled water and put vicks and inhale..it relieves the flu congestion a little too.
Also, avoid taking megadoses of Vit C as this will give us stomachache, wind and diarrhoea. This has been advised in babycentre. The recommended daily amt for adults is only about 40mg.

RXmom (ruixiangsmom)- hopefully the cooking of my CL is not too bad then!
Btw, I actually have a similar wound to that from a C-section following my fibroid removal. It is about 8cm in length (C-section is about 10cm?), but i didn't eat anything special after being discharged, & the wound has completely healed - can only see a faint whitish line, & no raised scar. I was given 2 weeks MC, but actually started working from home 1 day after being discharged (kiasu & bored). I think how your skin heals has a lot to do with your own body's ability to regenerate, as well as the gyne's skills...& less so the food consumed. Same logic as people who suffer from stretch marks even thou they apply expensive cream vs. those who do nothing & end up with no marks?

u paid for air in ur vpost shipping! The retailers in US are very generous with packing! They use huge boxes and fill it with lots of airbags!!!
re cordblood
I remembered reading somewhere that all the hype about cordblood being a 'cureall' is really hype cos research is not so advance yet.
confinement ladies
the average angpao really $200?!? That's A LOT!!!

Hi xuanting,
I think there are some lean meat in pig trotters, but the fatty part is so yummy!
maybe it's post partum mentality.. haha!
Limay,
Yah, I think it might have something to do with the gynae's skills...cos in the US, my wound is 'glued' together with surgical glue.. and I understand that this is not the procedure here? So maybe, and hopefully that's why! My friend told me for my second c-section, the gynae will be able to fold down the old scar so that the new wound will be 'prettier'. I certainly hope so!

Limay,
Actually that's one thing I hate about Vpost, that they go by volumtric or actual weight of the parcel, whichever is higher. I bought 3 pairs of crocs that were really cheap from the US and used VPost. In the end, the shoes were more ex than the ones sold here! I am now using Comgateway instead... as they go by actual weight, and will repack the items for you...

Yes, using bliss...hope it's OK. the reviews seem to be good in general...the lady in charge, doreen, being a mum herself who also didn't do confinement first time round then did it for her second says she is good at recommending the right CL for the new mum's requirements...hope so lah.
Angpow
I think we were planning like $88 or something....

RXmom (ruixiangsmom) - yah, got a shock when the vPost bill came. They must have just found some big box & chucked my 2 items in, then added alot of bubble wrap cos the weighing scale has a glass top.
My hubby used to ship via Comgateway, but recently switched to vPost cos he claimed it is cheaper. Anyway, just need to avoid getting heavy/bulky items from US next time.
Btw, for your 2nd C-section, can the gyne open the same wound? I didn't check with my gyne on that yet.

Mrs Yap (oneboyonegirl) - okie, thats good to hear
Don't want to have 3 wounds at the end of it all (if i have 2 babies thru C-section)! Yah, mine is about 8cm cos my fibriod was huge (100gm and about 7cm width). There was no pain thou - the worst pain was when the inserted the needle into my hand to inject the GA. I was off painkillers the same afternoon after my surgery (and I have a low tolerance to pain - one reason I am not opting for natural birth)!

Jasmine: You eat durians everyay? Do you know that eating durians will make the baby grow very big? And some mothers with underweight babies will load up on durians towards the end of the 3rd trimester. Those with big babies will avoid at all cost. All are afraid of the difficulty of labour if the bb is too big.
xuanting, rxmom: My gynae also used surgical glue for my c-scar. But I still end up with an ugly keloid. This time round hopefully it will be different.
rxmom: No leh, cwg doesn't repack the items for you.
Momoko: Good to see you here. You have been busy ah..
YingLing: Hey girl, how r u?
Pig's trotters: Actually drinking the gravy is good enough leh. The vinegar dissolves the bone marrows in the trotters and the "goodies" is all in the gravy. My CL will also add in some lean pork.

My MIL will do confinement for me after birth and we will buy her gold. That is what she wants, we will just bring her there let her choose and pay loh.

Jasmine: Yes leh. The saying is eating durians will make the baby grow very big. I think it's the sugar and carbo bhah.. Dunno.. I didn't eat durians at my last pregnancy. Bo cravings for it.. Only durian puffs. Think there was a time the mummies on the thread went hunting for durian puffs.. Hahaha.. We influence each other while chatting online..
Hey mums, do you all feel giddy sometimes? All of a sudden today from mid-morning, I felt giddy spells. I though it was caused by hunger, but after I've had something to eat, the giddiness is still there. Then I came home to rest. Now still feel a bit giddy. Need to see gynae or not huh?
