so upset w Fil.
We staying w inlaws. Not sure who didnt flush the toilet bowl in common toilet, i told them. And sametime said i dont want Fil to get those aunties to prepare the olden days wine for me during confinement. And Fil deny that he use the toilet and said didnt say do the wine. Before that he keep insisting me to take cos need to tune back health but now he said he didnt cos i dont want. Wow liao. I got agitated and especially when he denied.
Got vy agitated and felt tummy also agitated. Poor bb.
I cant stand it so pour it here. I hope we can move out fast.

lili,
Stay with PIL is not very easy. Sometimes need to close 1 eye. I stay with my In Laws b4, can understand ur feeling....
The olden days wine= rice wine? red one? That is very good. I also eat a lot during confinement. It is not cheap selling at the market. Bcos it is made of rice and Hong Qu (Hong2 Qu3 will dispels coldness/ water and expelling wind in the body), so it will be good for confinement mummy. Of cos, u need to make sure to cook it to take off the alcohol if u breastfeed. Just share my experience.

thanks for your advise too.
i prefer to keep it vy simple during confinement and prefer light cooking. And, I already engaged a CL as i knew my FIL will sure cook for me using that rice wine. We can't stand heavy cooking esp in our new kitchen.
Anyway, we will be moving to new pl within this 2 mths liao.. so have to endure... already already for nearly 2 yrs.

its up to you..sometimes i can understand its hard to stay with in laws. Initially, my MIL insisted on doing confinement for me! I SAID NO NO!cos she dunno hw to cook one..n said her cooking not bad! haha..wad ajoke!
Diane,
I think u can still take rice wine...but i hv read somewehre, if u taking any alcohol, try not to BF within 2 hrs aft yr intake of the wine...anyway, when u cook, the alcohol not so strong oredi..hv subsided anyway

thanks too.
i didn't mentioned about having BF cos' i think they will know. I told PIL that i prefer not to get FIl's sisters to prepare for me as "what if" i don't like & will be wasted. And, most likely will prepare alot. That time, my sister also don't want, in the end, still keep at mum place.

Trace,
that's what was discussed when i wanted to get CL. FIL wants to do for me... FIL & not MIL. I am very frank telling them that i will need to rest during the 1 month & won't take care of bb much as i might be very tired etc. MIL is more understanding instead and take side on mine.
FIL is like "mother-in-law" ... haha.
if BF, likely every 2 hours needs to BF, right? i would prefer not to touch rice wine if possible. Knew is good but i think engaging CL, cook Confinement food is also good enough.
Also, i told my hubby make sure that FIL's sister will not turn up during confinement to help, i will turn crazy...

condolences to you and your family... take care!!
JJmom,
congrats...
u mean u r not getting ur oscars test results together with the blood test? with the blood test, you'll get adjusted risk factor... everything will be alrite!!
lili,
understand the frustrations u have... as i have experienced them before... i guess, we just have to make known about our preferences.. and ensure that we get our needed rest... than to worry abt such matters later on..
actually, im not sure, but i thot confinement food will def have wine or ginger... the key again is not to overeat them as otherwise, the ginger may cause jaundice in babies if we BF?? hmm.. maybe we'll learn more when we attend our antenatal classes... if am not wrong, it is covered?? or we will have to do more googling?? kekeke...
i had chee cheong fun for bfast again today... ran out of time to eat other food... feel sleepy now!!!

Hi all,
Talking about wine in cooking etc, I'm also glad I engaged a CL so no need to upset myself. The other day, I went for dinner with MIL and my hubby's aunt and uncle. Aiyoh, on the way back, my hubby's aunt nag non stop about what to eat during confinement, must wear long sleeve lah, cannot bathe, wash hair, and blah blah blah. Then every sentence she say she still must ask my MIL right or not... I was already trying hard not to throw up in the car already cos the uncle drive super horrible. Brake very hard, move off will jerk, swerve here and there. So can imagine poor me... have to listen to the nagging and tahan the ride home. I reached home blame my hubby for not driving cos before leaving house I already told him I dun want to sit in the uncle's car. But hubby see me so ke lian, so he just sayang sayang me lor... sigh!
Chris, your list is very useful. My colleague who is preggers also accidentally saw it and said she also want so I printed for her. Heehee!

Hi trace,
Ya mum is more liberal. Her fav sentence... everything in moderation. heehee! That's why I quickly engaged a CL.
The other day, I told my hubby that I may need some help after the CL leaves cos still not sure if I can totally handle on my own. Then he said to ask my MIL to come and help. I glare at him and said no need, I will find my own ways. Must be his mum offer to help that's why he's trying to gently recommend to me.

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine . Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer . It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
