Glad you like tomatoes. Yes they are great for health! Gives you a glow too

Drink alot of water too, to flush out toxins... am sure the effects will not lose out to having bird's nest

Nipple Cream :
Bought 1 big tube for $15.40 from Medala at bb fair expo yest. I also din know we must start to apply b4 delivery. Good, I will start to apply now since I have itchy nipples anyway, think mayb due to dryness.

Errmm.. your itchy breast is at the nipple or the rest of the part...
When I preg with #2, I had horrible itchy nip, think nipple wun help, I asked gynae for some cream.
But changing a bra helps, could be your current bra got lace or whatever, try changing to a plain cotton bra see if the itch goes away.

Hello all,

Finally free to come online, was so busy the whole morning. Did everyone have a good lunch?

My hubby and i went to the Expo and got some clothings for the bibi but that's abt it. Then we went to Kiddy Palace to buy all the other stuff like kiddy cot, Capella stroller, changing station, bottles, baby monitor etc. Sighs spent so much money but it's for bibi so no choice.


Lili_fc,

How much did u get ur ERGO carrier for? Am interested too.

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Hope everyone had a great lunch!

Lili,

Must have suffice rest in btwn your packing and unpacking! Take Care

Gioanna,

No choice lar, for the sake of the bb...exps will go up after bb is born ke ke ;p

U bought so much stuff at one go, that's y u feel it's so costly ...
</font>

 

[dimpletot]

<font color="ff6000">hi mummies,

I decided not to buy the graco playpen after all, cos the salelady said the top cot portion can only sleep till about 4-6 months cos it can only take up to certain weight. then the bottom layer can sleep up to 1-2 yrs old but will have to bend quite deeply in - not so good for back.

then not quite decided on cot either, but not keen on bb to sleep on bed with us. think it'll be hard to get bb to kick habit eventually. prefer bb on separate 'bed' next to ours for first yr or so. and thereafter another room?

on nipple cream,

wah didn't know can start applying so early. thanks for the info!

on DHA vitamin pills,

any idea where to get reasonably priced ones? I am using dha softgel from gynae, and find that for $46 before GST for 30 pills it's a bit exp... do most of you use neurogain?</font>

 

[dimpletot]

wow Gioanna, sounds like a fruitful expedition. what capella stroller did u get? i also bought my S-705 over the weekend.

how much did u get yr cot for? is it those convertible types?

 

[everafter]

wah dimpletot, didnt knw the cons of playpen, think i better reconsider abt buying it also.

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Dimpletot,

Am taking Neurogain (pink bottle) but not bought from my gynae got it at a cheaper price! Are u taking the DHA stored in a white container with big words indicating "DHA"? If so, I think tht's the one tht my gynae is selling it's cheaper in price ;p
</font>

Gioanna Burdon

[lili_fc]

[tracee]

<font color="aa00aa">re: nipples cream
Wow! since can start applying now, I better dont wait till week 28 cos dont want to have that painful experience again. Will guai guai do it everyday from now onwards.

You are welcome!

It's good that we always exchange info cos even though I'm going to be a 2nd time mum soon, there are still a lot of things which I dont know, must still learn from all of you here!

</font>

 

[forest]

JJmom,

[tracee]

thanks Littlebluey!

mousebb,

i think this thread is good! we are always sharing info and learning new things ..

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">everafter
If the itch carries on, you can go see Dr Adrian. He can give you some cream to apply. I got it during my last pregnancy but not on tummy area. Of course, he would ask you what did you eat and whether you apply any cream on your tummy area anot.</font>

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Trace
Agreed with you! </font>

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Forest,

Did u try to call Cheong Choon and check with them? They shd be able to order for you...
</font>

 

[forest]

mousebb,
i agree, we really learn alot from everyone here!!

even more so for me, since im FTM.. hehehe..

btw, i rem i read in 1 of the threads before that there might be mini freezer available at carrefour.. maybe u can check it out?

 

[forest]

Littlebluey,
i did call Cheong Choon on S705.. but the lady that time told me they have no idea when the stock is coming in too... besides, the price she will also need to check if it stays the same or whether there'll be any increase!!

btw.. any1 who bot or is applying the palmers stretch mark cream... pls test on a small area.. i think i read in some older threads abt many mummies who had rashes after applying it.. but guess, its also up to individuals...

 

[matsu]

Whitepaper, did u apply the clarin oil on the breast too? Need to apply on breast area too, esp when yours is growing so big...hahaha =P

Hmm...mayb like what some mtbs said earlier, we really need to apply the nipple cream now too. Mayb too dry &amp; by then when we BF will get crack nipples...scary

 

[lili_fc]

jjmom

[forest]

[nickypower]

[matsu]

Did u apply oil on the breast area too? Breast also need to apply

 

[whitepaper]

JJmom

I didn't apply tonic oil on my breasts leh! Too lazy... in fact, I had only been applying the oil to my tummy like once a week, when I feel like it... hahaha... naughty and lazy mommy

 

[whitepaper]

But if I apply the tonic oil then wear my bra, won't that make me even itchier? hahaha...

 

[matsu]
