Hello,
Hope everyone had a good lunch.
Littlebluey, hope you are feeling better now.
Seems like we are really in the stage of being emotional now. I didn't get angry at all for the past 10 mths eversince I was pregnant, but today somehow don't know why I was so irriated with what my boss is saying that I just got angry. So angry that I just scolded him off. After I cooled down, I thought actually it is such a small matter ler, but don't know why I'm just angry. Hai~ So I guess we are all very "normal"
JJMom2008, I got my raspberry tea from Vitacost. They got a few branches in Singapore, like Paragon, Forum Gallery and United Square. It is more expensive than from MIMs though 'cos it is already pre-packed in tea bags. I got it from them 'cos MIM was running out of stock for this item for quite a couple of months then.

Wah, not knowing when I pass urine is great comfort. Haaa. Actually I rather labour pain. Just for that 12 hours or so. The pain and inconvenience from C-section lasts for more than a day! Anyway, yah, the only consolation is my V will still be tight tight from no stretching. LOL!! Aiyah, anyway, pain or not, I still have to go through it unless my little girl turn. Which is very unlikely. So ren min and prepare myself for C-section.
I think pildough is planned for a C-section because of her spinal injuries.
Cord Blood Donation
I'm donating too. But I haven't scalled SCCB (sp).

cheezel,
I had to constantly wipe myself with towels to soak up the perspiration, apply snake powder to make myself feel cooler, apply some chinese hair lotion meant for confinement so that the hair didn't stink.
I didn't manage to breastfeed much the last time, but whenever I wanted to, I would wipe my breasts with warm water to clean them. I think the main concern is the parts of our body that have to do with bones. Old people believe that wind will get into the bones, and cause aches, if they come into contact with water, so cleaning the breasts and wound down there are forgiven.
My mother went through eight confinements in the similar manner and she doesn't experience any aches despite reaching sixty. My father said that my mother wet a few outfits a day during her confinement becos of profuse perspiration. To be honest, I find that all these are bearable, albeit uncomfortable, compared to the time when I was in the hospital. So I'm willing to put up with all these.
Talking about breastfeeding, I'm contemplating over to get Medela mini electric plus or PIS. Mommies, I know that PIS is definitely superior, but mini electric plus is so much cheaper and I have no confidence that I will breastfeed beyond 3 months. Which one do you get?

rain, for me, i was fortunate enough to loan a set from my SIL who BF and EBM her baby for 9mths.
I am going to try it out and if it is really good and if i have a good supply, may get a set for myself. Medala has got a new pump called Freestyle. Thinking of getting from the US cos it is cheaper and its hands free. Otherwise, i will consider a 2nd hand cos i am already chose to use my SIL's.

Hello mommies
Back from gynae's... guess what... I'M STILL ZERO CENTIMETRE DILATED... arrgggggghhhhhhhh!!! So most prob my baby will be late (that shows how accurate women's instincts are!). And guess what again... gynae did something gross... she STRETCHED my cervix to help it open up... wah biangz!!! Dig dig dig and stretch!!! wahahahahahaha...
Anyway, I'll need to induce on 7 Oct (but will take time for the pill to take effect, so maybe pop on 8 Oct) if I don't pop naturally by then. Gynae says contractions will be more painful if induce, but no choice lor, can't wait anymore coz baby quite big already. Just give him a few more days and see if he wants to come out by himself
one good thing is my water level is still high so he's safe and comfy inside
Baby's weighing 3.3+kg today and my weight gain maintains at 7.3kg.

I got myself a PIS. 1st time mum myself so dunno if it will work on me. But just thought I dun wanna save the $$$ if it can make my breastfeeding journey more comfy
I got the PIS quite cheaply though, bought from one of the mommies in the forum at $550, brand new with 1 year warranty. It's an extra set she got as a gift so she sold it off to me

Don't do it unless hopeless like me lar!!! hahaha... do for what? the mucous plug protects the baby against infections etc... it's good to let it stay k?
Yes vaginal examinations can result in dislodge of mucous plug... that's why when you have a show, it doesn't mean you are in labour already... it's just... a show lor...

Hi ladies,
I just came back from my gynae's and a short shopping spree at IMM. Heehee! Bb's weight now 2.8kg and head in position. Told my gynae about my constipation problem and he gave me something to stick up my a**. Faint!!! My hubby kept laughing at me all the way home. When I reach home, guai guai sat on the "throne" so that no need to use the ghastly thing.
Then went to IMM to buy face masks to stock up so during confinement can still look mei mei. ;p heehee!
forest,
Ya, short and smooth labour is impt. Heehee! so I think I should also get the tea to try.
dimpletot,
I haven't been to mono but looks nice from outside. ex or not?

I also super bored. So now I am always alternating between the web, and playing Wii. Heee. Now waiting for 3pm to watch rerun of Nu Ren Wo Zui Da. But but but ... I would rather stay home and be bored than face the kids at work. Hee.
My cot is coming this Friday. So late, right? I will do the measurements then pop over to Aussino to get the bedsheets. One set is enough right? Since I am getting another set with the cot.

Yep nipple stimulation... but Mrs Wong also mentioned not to do too much. Coz she saw a number of babies in bad shape after their mummies did nipple stimulation... coz over-stimulated and the contractions became too strong and harsh...

Hihi ladies!
Super bz these few days, cant really follow the thread, so many posts to catch up! @_@ Will try my best to read when I free.
Heartiest congrats to all mums who have popped!
Update for my check-up today:
I may cut Q liao! My bb din grow well from last visit, so we may need to induce him out on next Thu or Fri! Will see my gynae again next Tue, hopefully he can gain some weight then I maybe able to keep him slightly longer inside me. Oh well, the verdict will be out next Tue, lets c how lo...Ahh!!! Feeling 'weird" now, still not prepared for it! Oh, need to do some last-min shopping and cleaning, set up bb cot etc. Worst is my confinement lady can only join me on/after 22 Oct, may need to "activate" my mum or MIL to help first. Sigh...no choice, bb's health is more important!
Hoho...i better stop here and finish my work first, feeling tired, hope can go back earlier today, chat again ladies!

how abt trying to walk more often?my colleague's gynae also help to make her dilate by using her fingers. sounds grosh...but then she say helps le.

cant comment much cos i'm using neither pump. I've been using Avent pump since my #1. but my colleague used the mini pump and bf for 6 months. another is using PIS, which is really exp, but she only bf for 7 months which i think the $$ spend on the pump not soo worth it. If u thinking of bf longer like a yr, then strongly recommend u to get a good pump
