samval / mercsboy, sleep more also no use leh...
rachel, is it? i find that when i lie on my back, the headache is at the back, but when sleep on side, headache is at side but will recover faster... goes off by the time i'm stepping out of the house, only to return in the late afternoon...

mercsboy...actualli sleep too much will cause headache too...for sure for others but it does for mi...
think the avent manual is worth investing since not too pricey and could be switch to electric pump...mayb take a look at the philips fair tis weekend....anybody planning to make a trip there?

dazed: i can understand the pain..basically like what my GP said, there is nothing tat can be done except to wait for it to go away...haiz...
piyo: i bought single one...at that time the staff sale at $170+ after discount ah...what i regretted is i bought the sterilizer also...should have bought pigeon one...seems more worthwhile

from what i know of, there are many factors tat contribute to migraine/headache. could be tense neck muscle, could be blocked or narrowing of blood vessel around our neck area, could be straining of eye etc
re: Rebonding
did ask my hairstylish on doing rebonding, she say can do after 3 mths pregnant but not advisible. they even practice getting the customer to sign an agreement letter stating that they will not hold any responsibility if there is anything wrong with the bb. after heading that i dropped the idea of doing rebond liao. just let my hair go hay wire for the next 5 mths bah.

suika : ya lor, i oso scared, that's why think will tahan until aft CNY. that time baby's out, & prices back to normal. but i dun think i've the patient to do clipping & blowing...hehe... will remain as a 'xiao za bor' for a few mths then...
Miaiko : i know what you mean - the perm. I did that in 2005 - perm fm ear down (if i rem correctly) & had the top part rebonded. I went to Kimage then, but the sylist has since left the salon. BTW, my stylist told me the chemical used for perming is the same as rebonding, so better to avoid now oso...

Miaiko : at 1st i thot i cld tahan not washing my hair - cos' i seldom perspire, & my hair & scalp are dry types 1.... BUT when the real confinement came, i realised I perspire ALOT bcos of all the nourishing confinement food... then i resorted to SECRETLY washing my hair when MIL is not at home...hehe... *shhhhhhhhhhh!*
DaddyToBe,gelato: Yup the VIA is more expensive. Almost bought that too. But after understanding that the containers can only be used for max 6 times and gota dispose off, i got the other one with the milk bttle.
MTBs who is getting Avent breast pumps, do remember to get the warranty card from the sales staff. It does not come together in the box. I din noe and got back to the fair 1wk later to ask for it.

gelato: VIA bottles can only be reused 4 times? I wasn't aware of that. If that's the case, I also won't get that. Wife was considering that because of the storage capability.
BTW mtbs, won't the warranty start running if u get the pumps now? By the time bb is out, the warranty would be past 5mths. My worry is warranty issue.

But on a serious note, anyone knws hw to overcome this "no bathing, no showering, no washing hair" during early confinement period?? Im desperate to know. coz S'pore weather is juz to warm & humid!
And YAH, with the confinement food we are suppose to 'sweat it out'. but not showering?? eeeeeeeeeekkk....

miaiko,
Ideally we are not supposed to wash hair, but who can tahan this? So unhygenic and itchy. I washed my hair every other day, and to compromise, I used a ginger shampoo that is supposed to be warming.

DaddyToBe : that's what I read fm the box 2 years ago - maybe u can double check? in case my info is outdated...
As for warranty, i dunno abt Avent. But for Medela, I've heard fm pple that you can tell them you got the pump as a gift aft ur delivery, & hv no receipt. They'll assume the warranty starts fm your delivery date.
I think this is a point, maybe we shld chk with Avent b4 buying.
