littlealmond, rice wine? i dunno which one u talking abt but my MIL got some "hong zhao" for me the red red stuff for cooking..
then the "real" rice wine i brought 6bottles to "clean" body to keep body warm n close the pores..
shower i got the herbs to shower with hot water n rice wine to clean + the "dry" shampoo for hair..
cold water of cos cannot drink lah, my aunt say only suppose to drink the longan tea n must take for 40days..
oh n my aunt say during confinement must sit down when drinking water else in future will suffer from incontinence..
dunno how true but i think better stick to it :x

Jen, so u not going to shower?
Huh, the rice wine for cleaning? Me also not so sure, I know she told me to use for cooking

littlealmond, i was told the "hong zhao" to cook then the rice wine sold commercially is for me to wipe my body to keep the pores close cos old ppl say we give birth all the pores will open n its not gd cos "wind" will go in..
i think i will only shower with the herbs ba.. c how.. they say first 2wks is most critical..
so my shower herbs i only got 2wks supply..
also my hb oredi threaten me if i dare shower he gonna turn of the mains in our masterbedroom toilet

Hello Mummies!
Forest, Ya I think it seems quite true that 1st birth will follow 2nd birth. At least for my case.
But I really hope I don't have to induce.
Beary, I'm same situation as you ler. My EDD is less than 3 days away! And I do not have any signs of labour too. My gynae will review me on Tues (1 day before my EDD) and see what to do next. I'm hoping I do not have to induce, but just wait and see. I guess just got to wait for gynae's instruction.
Ruffles, so happy to hear Victoria is doing so well.
Congrats Littlebluey.
Hope to hear from Whitepaper soon.
Lili_fc, how are you already? Anyway, just to share I also had mild depression for my #1, a week before my CL left. I guess it is me giving myself too much pressure. I scared I can't handle my gal 'cos everytime I carried her, she cried. CL handled her, she stopped. Gave me a feeling she don't like me. Also I faced a lot of difficulties in bf then and yet I was so determined to bf. All these added up and I also cried a few times during confinement.
Yet, in the end, when CL left, somehow somewhat I just managed to handle my gal and now she is very close to me. As for bathing, I also dare not bathe my gal initially. I only dare to start when my gal is 2.5 mths 'cos I so scared I dropped her into the water! Took me tt long to find the courage! Thinking back, I feel it is all because I think and worry too much. It is natural 'cos we wish to do our mummy's role well and we love our babies too much. So don't worry too much. I'm sure you will be able to handle it well in the end.
Cheers~

Littlealmond,

Cheer Bear,
rest well.. hope u recover from ur flu quickly!!
Trace, Jellypurin,
my gynae doesnt do VE check or CTG as part of normal routine.. so, it depends on individual gynae's practise whether they do any of the above..
Jen,
wah.. didnt know cannot stand while drinking? seems so many diff. schools of thoughts.. *faint* wonder what mine will be like, cos' my mum also nv say much to me.. :S
Jasminetea,
i also hope u dont have to induce.. maybe those of us who are close to our EDD.. will be like whitepaper.. completely no signs, and then just suddenly pop!!

Heloo mummies...
Just a few days and so many more mummies had popped. Congrats to all.
I feel my tummy getting lower. Not sure if that is one of the signs. Then I felt this pressure, like baby kept pressing down on me. But I kept telling my boy to wait for daddy to come back this Saturday.
Regarding those herbs, I also thought of just going to the shop and ask for advices.
Tomorrow morning I will be going for my check-up. Anyone with the contact list, can sms me littlebluey's contact? Maybe I can pop by to visit her. I have problem opening the excel file on my macbook.

pinkimum,
how've u been??
i've had the tummy feeling lower.. and baby putting pressure on the pelvis for many days... guess, unless u r having show, frequent contractions, water bag burst.. the pressure on pelvis and tummy getting lower is not yet a sign of labour.. do talk to ur boy more on waiting for ur hubby's return ya!!

dun know if good or not..to give birth suddenly.
the last time, one of my friends gave birth to her no. 2 while she was taking shower. ehheeh
when she told me about it, i was roaring with laughter. cuz the ambulance/gynae couldn't come in time, the husband had to cut the umbilical cord and did the delivery himself. she said it was juz like the baby dropped down and you know they were completely unprepared, didn't hv anything sterilised. hv to call the gynae and asked for direction.
