<font color="119911">Just met some clients and they commented that my belly is very big now! :p

On water retention - I don't have any cos i drink alot of water (which actually helps prevent water retention &amp; leg cramps at nite - do drink up mommies
happy.gif
).

Also no stretch marks to date - my only problem is feeling hot whenever there is no air-conditioning &amp; having an itchy belly almost every night (think its heat rash cos it goes away once the air-con is switched on). Have never felt so hot in my life!

Sunrays - I will transfer money (2 adults) to u before the gathering.
Shazz - remember to pass us our Destin cream as well!</font>

Dear Madams,

PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING THIS SURVEY AT A NEW LINK:

http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=5d0212xd8io3aw7461100

We are five students from Raffles Junior College who will be embarking on our Project Work.

As our Project is based on the modernization of cures for blood diseases, we hope to raise awareness and funds for public cord blood banking.

We understand the significance of cord blood stem cells in curing blood diseases. However, not many others do. Through this project, we hope to raise awareness among the public and pregnant women about the uses of cord blood: encourage mothers to donate their babies’ cord blood to public banks (SCBB) and increase the extent of positive impact that cord blood has brought to the curing of blood diseases. We also hope to give support to public cord blood banks by raising funds from the public.

YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Goldfish: Your baby is a good size! Isn’t it good that you have a compact tummy? Hehe. You’re so funny! Mine is huge and everyone asks me if it is heavy. But thank goodness I’m not waddling..yet.


Alabone: Oops! I thought you wanted to do outdoor shoots, not nude outdoor la! Hehe. Does your itch get worse when it is hot? Mine does.


L’l CY: You’re like me lor. My Wedding pics also not done. Hahaha. So I think this time I shall like to have nice photos to commemorate yet another milestone in my life…plus capture my body in its most beautiful state! Before all the flab reappears after birth! Hehe. My hubby really wants me to take these nude shots…artistic ones of cos. Not flash every thing in detail kind…so maybe can show kids still next time. Hahaha.


Sasa: I’m prone to yeast infection too. Sigh! Comes and goes. Took the insert once but now I just rather NOT have it. My doc did also tell me NOT to wear undies when sleeping. And cotton undies and no liners if possible. Are disposables really more ‘airy’? I find them uncomfy. And I have to wear liners…cos I can’t stand having stuff stuck onto my panties. Eeks. Enough o this icky topic.


Mrs Yap: Your ankles suddenly swelled? Did you call your doc to check? Cos if it is sudden swelling plus pain, you should let your doc know. Drink LOTS of water.


Sunrays: Yay! Free-flow drinks. Heheh! Iced Honey Lemongrass is making me thirst right now!

Storeberry: Huh? Can’t be that small until not obvious right? But then again, the Jetstar counter staff at Macau Airport wanted to sell me EXIT ROW seats. And I was shocked! Cos under airline regulations preggers cannot sit there. I was also like “ Duh?!! Do I not look pregnant?”. Oh well. As long as baby is healthy!

Qiuling: Thanks for the reassurance! I have to STOP obsessing about bb’s weight since my doc has said he’s a good size. And told me that I shd not have too big a baby given my size and desires for a natural delivery without epi.

BABY MAN YUE: Wah! I never heard of all these stories before. Why would bb be jealous if we eat the cakes at another bb’s man yue? Hehe..If anything, I would think like the baby who is celebrating his man yue will be jealous cos another one is stealing the limelight from him. Haha. Anyway, I attended my niece’s man yue. I’m not pantang.


YOGHURT: What brands of yoghurt do you girls take? I’m trying to find a low fat, low sugar one.

came back from my routine check up, get to know my bb weight. My bb gal is weight est. 1.2kg @ wk 29, seem a bit small. but i have go back tml to have my blood test for sugar level. so today after 11pm, i can't intake any food and water.
 
Hi All,

i'm new to this forum here..
seems like u all are all active members, having gatherings and all..

anyway, did anyone of you start looking for massage lady during confinement period already? anyone to recommend?
 
storeberry,

I know it's next Sat. Actually, I don't get that hungry, can skip dinner but must take breakfast and lunch. Small &amp; compact tummy is good, easier damage control post partum.
 
sarahmay
Yoghurt: you can buy any plain yoghurt so no sugar at all, and drizzle a bit of honey. most brands with fruit etc have sugar added amongst other things. you can even make your own with just a tablespoon of plain yoghurt and 1 lt of milk...google for recipes. very easy to make (if u can be bothered
happy.gif
)
 
Sarah: I like Meji Yoghurt cos the milk smell not so great &amp; it taste yummy with all the fruits! My client either he is blind or wat.. Haha... I was sitting down so maybe he didn't see it.

Lok: Haha.. I thot u mistaken liao. Aiyoo.. must eat dinner also, bb needs the nutrients!
 
so many posts to catch up!
happy.gif


Bigtoes: yes, will rem to bring your goodies! In fact, the Baby Mall spree stuffs are sorted and sitting in my Pack &amp; Roll cart! Now waiting for SingPost to deliver the drugstore loot.
happy.gif
Will definitely be here before our gathering next week.

Flos: I just went to Kenko for 45mins session of foot massage too. Baby is kicking alot after the session! He was his usualy self when we were doing the massage, was expecting him to kick alot but he didnt, perhaps he's enjoying it.

Karen: welcome to this thread. When are you due?
 
hi sarahmay,
yeah i actually wanna do the outdoor shots with the kids. but was wondering if it'd be too taxing for them (and me in preggie state). so perhaps will do so after cadence is old enough.

hi karen,
welcome! if you want tried and tested one, you can go to www.malayheritagejamumassage.blogspot.com

hmm, talking abt outdoor shots, let me share one of my outdoor photo w u ladies. v amateur, dun laugh at the standard hor.

Nursing bra does not seems to be cheap. Btw, the ‘beauty’ of nursing bra is the ‘cup’ is detachable issit huh?
Got strapless nursing bra or nt? Any1 knows?

Btw, I have one tin of Annum milk powder for preggies. I took a few serving and stopped cos cannot tahan the taste leh.
Any mama taking Annum? I can give it to anyone who is interested next sat :p

For massage lady, I saw that this lady not bad.. bt dunno zun or not loh - Mdm Rokiah
AS quoted from other forum thread (dunno details outdated or not loh)
‘Mdm Rokiah.She is indeed worth every dollar u pay.Not only does she give gd post-natal massage,she also give u advice for bb and others. Many of us in tis forum has used her service b4. Her package are-5day $300, 7day $400 n 10day $570.’

Anyone heard of her yet mah?
 
kenko massage,
which are the types of massages we can go for? would over-massage trigger contractions? I just went for Spa house but they were using such light movements that I feel nothing..not so worth the money..
 
<font color="0000ff">SarahMay
oh pls... STOP wearing liners.. they are a major cause for infection. coz cannot 'breathe' mah... to me, disposables are more airy wor.. n juz throw n wear a new one when it's soiled.

I take both Marigold &amp; Meiji yoghurt, hehe. muz take those with fruity flavour. I can't stand those plain ones leh..

Jasmine Yeo
seems a good weight. dun be worried if its on the small side k.. as long as gynae says everything is fine
happy.gif


Twendy
Nice pics!!!
happy.gif
If only my hb was into taking pics.. muahaha</font>
 
Flos
I have heard of preggies going for foot massage once a week.. but for me.. I don't want to go so often as I'm scared of over-stimulation. But should be fine lah, so long as you feel comfortable &amp; relaxed.

Goldfish
For strapless bra, no special type... just get those tube bandeau type.. then just pull down to nurse that's all.

bacon&amp;egg
I go for foot, shoulder &amp; hand massage at Kenko. You just need to let them know you are preggers &amp; they'll know where not to apply pressure so as to avoid triggering contractions.
 
twendy: your pictures are lovely! you look so cute in the overalls!

bacon&amp;egg: I did the foot massage, the massage lady is experienced in massaging pregnant ladies, and they avoid certain acu points that will trigger any premature contractions. As for full body massage, I mentioned before that my post-natal massage lady told me I wont feel shiok cos she will only glide through the sore areas on my back. She said it's not good to use too much strength when we're still preggy. But the foot massage I went for can be rather painful, but the pain is tolerable, and after that I actually felt very light. Baby did not kick alot, just his usual movements, so he's ok with it too. Hope that helps!
happy.gif


Goldfish: so far, only Perfect Mum got strapless nursing bras. But I dun recommend them as there's no cup size for their bras. But it's rather comfortable though, even though they're wired bras, which is not recommended for good milk supply.
 
mei and shazz,
thanks for the info. Will try Kenko..supposed the massage is for 1 hour?

any mommies gg for brazilian wax soon? i am worried if hospital nurse will to shave, it gets prickly when the hairs grow back..is it a must to be shaved downunder for birthing?
 
<font color="0077aa">Hi mummies, want to tell you all something that happened to Mrs Yap. She would like us to pray for her &amp; bb.

She was hospitalised yday as she was bleeding in the evening. And cervix is dilated!! She was given steriods in case of premature labor. She is now under close monitoring. I am praying that bb will not come outnow &amp; will wait for GOD's timing.

Twendy: Who took your photos? Its nice!! Your bump is very obvious!

Sasa: Not sure whether bb binders are neccessary.. Thot if we wrap the bb with those cloth diaper tight tight would suffice?

Goldfish: Is your Anmum chocolate flvour? :p</font>
 
<font color="0000ff">oh no!!!!!! Wish her &amp; bb well
sad.gif
bleeding again??? do let her noe tat we are all behind her. tell her to talk to bb n tell bb not time to come out yet. muz be guai guai stay inside mummy's tummy. tell her oso dun move around so much and most imptly.. muz think +ve

Jia You!!!</font>
 
o dear...

will keep her in prayers...
sad.gif


let's take exceptional care of ourselves too huh, mummies...the last stretch to our end of freedom :p
 
I'm sure mrs yap will be ok... tell her not to worry too much..little Melody will surely be a good gal &amp; wun do any harm to mummy... be positive, we shall keep her in prayers..
 
Flos: thanks for the info on the sterilized gauze. it is really a good idea.

twendy: ur tummy so small!

on infection 'down there': i try to avoid using any medication if possible...so,i used abit of diluted dettol to wash there (when i feel abit itchy). so far it helps....but some books suggest u can't wash too often cos will wash away good bacteria.... my doc said it is normal to have infection due to hormones...usually it will go away by itself...so not to worry too much.

disposable undies: BHG sold cotton disposable undies...very comfy very cheap...one pack about $5 plus (five in it). but of cos...not pretty la...looks like granny's undies.

visit friends at hospital while preg:
i guess it is not so much of the pantang...but more on health issues...u know...hospital alot of sick people/germs...of cos u will try to avoid those places if possible... just to avoid any unessary infections (e.g flu etc)

anyone donating cord blood? i'm still not sure if i should do it..
 


dearest mrs yap, we'll all give u our support. pls hang in there!!

shazz: yes, I went for the 30min only. the foot massage lady is very gungho/skilful as in she avoided all the vital spots corresponding to the uterus and ovaries (which are at both sides of your ankles), YET achieving all the right pressures on the right parts. She is really good at massaging each individual toe.

The same cannot be said of ytd's shoulder massage lady who was too rough with my lower back/tailbone which corresponds to my uterus I suspect. Luckily, my bb started moving before dinner ytd, else I'd be worried sick.

bacon: I'll be going for my brazilian wax after my week 32 scan. I usually go to STRIP. Please select 30min will do. Anyway, that's about the only duration I can afford during my lunch break.

SarahMay:
Meiji Yoghurt for me too! I eat them with kiwifruits and muesli...yummy. Dun quite like Ski, Marigold, Emmi, Danone, Yoplait. I also buy Muller from Marketplace when I happen to be there, but it's super ex. I like Carrefour housebrand.

Mrs T/Karen: feel free to sign up with sunrays for the gathering if u r keen
happy.gif


Jasmine/Traz: Mine was also around there at week 28+, 1.2kg thereabts. It's within average range as indicated on babycenter.com. I hope to stick to my EDD in lunar 8th mth.
