<font color="0000ff">rachels mommy</font>, its so funny that u shld mention feeling movement. i also tot i felt something. in my 1st pregnancy, i felt wierd wierd swimming movement inside at 12 weeks. now at 7.5 weeks. is that what u felt? i read that second time mums feel movement earlier than 1st time moms... i used to start feeling kicks at 20-22 weeks. heard 2nd time mums can feel it as early as 18weeks. looking fwd!!!
<font color="ff0000">weight gain</font>. actually i was underweight before pregnancy in 1st pregnancy. around 48kg. but i only put on 12 kg during pregnancy ah. i also heard underwt mums will put on more weight, but dun seem so for me hehehee.

<font color="ff0000">lili</font>, better book ur CL soon. i booked mine 1-2 weeks ago hehehe.
<font color="aa00aa">Juz me</font>. don't worry about getting back your life. i attended a wedding dinner not long after confinement ends (din bring baby coz too young). i TBF, so i just pump a bit more to accumulate one feed, bring it to my caregivers house, wear nice nice, put makeup, and go attend the dinner! of course must leave a bit bit early to bring baby back lah, may miss dessert, but its okie. but i still bring baby back to nurse him to sleep that time, he was only 2-3 mths old mah. if you really really want, you can even pump enough for his bedtime feed before u go out. but if u TBF esp when baby young, always remember that ur boobs will fill up within 3 hours or so. so pump b4 u go out, and either bring pump out to pump at 3 hr time, or come home in 3 hours lah. hehehee. but you can always bring your baby out with you. when TBF, invest in a sling or a nursing bib. i find a nursing bib a lifesaver, such that i can wear nice nice clothes and yet breastfeed in private under the bib. so baby goes almost everywhere we go.
<font color="ff0000">storeberry</font>, yes your friend is perfectly right that if theres demand, there is supply. there is no such thing as not enough milk. many times, mommy end up having not enough coz they supplement with FM coz they think their baby not having enough. so if they do that, the baby gets full by FM, dun asked for suckling BM, so mommy's body dunno baby needs milk so end up making less. so next time baby suckles, body not getting as much milk, so baby feels hungry, so supplement again. vicious cycle yar?
my and my good friend refers to this breastfeeding book before we deliver, and we learn that there are a few golden rules to rem to gauge if baby having enough. firstly, 8-10 wet diapers a day. secondly, baby putting on 180-250grams per week. 3rdly - baby looks satisfied after feeding or ur boobs feel lighter after feeding, or you feel let-down during latch on. if all these things comply, be assured baby getting enough. yes, i agree that the pumping and washing and sterilising is sure a chore man. i was not sad to stop doing that when i stop TBF. i hate the pumping and washing. but when i think how much good the milk is bringing for my kid, i persevere loh.
<font color="0000ff">breastfeeding when preggie</font>, i heard that though u can do that, your growing feotus will take most of the nutrients from you, leaving not much for the toddler to drink from. but then again, if toddler is taking solids well, then not much worries on that right? i also heard milk taste will change....
<font color="ff0000">carole</font>, ur girl so cute! even bargain with daddy for 1min! so funny! hehehehhehe!!!
