I was hungry!! in the middle of the nite, having biscuits in the bed!! Faint!! then this morning my MS feeling finally come...want to vomit but nothing comes out....now freaking tired lor, almost wanted to take mc, but next week will be taking, so better dont...
morning ladies, back to work today...so sianz....I think I might be Dec mama....Dr told me usually will give birth earlier the EDD for 2nd BB and furthermore if I opt for C-sect, Dr said ask me give birth at 38 weeks. I prefer Jan BB.....
I had been eating out everyday....I cannot cook during weekend bec I cannot tahan the oily smell. Worst is that I still continue eating spicy stuff as this is the only taste I prefer....

Samval,
If you've gone through a c-section before, mostly likely your gynae will rec it again because like redrain said, there is the chance that the wound will split open during a natural labour. Also, if you want a vaginal delivery after a c-section, you will NOT be allowed to take any form of pain relief during labour. This is because you must be able to feel every single moment of pain to 'know' if your old c-section wound is splitting open. Sounds gross right?
Regarding CL, I did not have one with my first son and did just fine. No maid either. It was just my husband and I for the first two weeks then I was on my own. I catered confinement food from Natal Essentials for the whole month and plan to do so again this time round as I really like their service, portions and food. The portions are big enough to feed two people!
For this baby, I don't intend to get a CL either. I'm a very ti ki person lah, I don't like someone else telling me that I cannot bathe, cannot do this lah, cannot do that lah. I will most probably go crazy if I have to live with her for a month. Also, CL during the CNY period tend to be very grouchy because they can't spend time with their family or do their prayers even if you're paying them $3000+.
As for bathing, I bathed every single day after birth and washed my hair on alternate days, just like what I usually did before I birthed. I was breastfeeding and definitely did not want my baby on a dirty body coupled with smelly hair. It's rather unhygenic, if you ask me.

suika,
I'm also having this thing for spicy food, MUST have green chillies! McDonald's chilli sauce also can.
But my MS soooooooooooo horrendous. First thing I do when I wake up is to go to the toilet to throw up. Afternoon is my happy hour where I'm feeling okay. When evening rolls by, it's back to the toilet again, or I just sit around and feel miserable because I constantly feel the sour gastric juices at the back of my throat.

I'm not sure if it was just me but after birth, I sweated and sweated buckets even with the air conditioner and fan turned on so I just HAD to bathe. I really pei fu those mummies who did not bathe for the whole month...
I mentioned before that my MIL doesn't give a damn about me, so cannot depend on her to cook anything for me. mercsboy, you are a lucky girl to have such a caring MIL! For my own mother, I'm too lazy to go to her place to collect the food, so I will cater. I LOVE the soups from Natal Essentials!
suika,
Do take care of your gastric issue. I do not have that problem, but this MS allows me understand what you've gone through these past 10 years!

JS, did you bathe with those herbs, or just as per normal?
And for the confinement food catering, can i order for say 1 week only? Haiz, i checked out 1 CL but she told me she needs to go back to malaysia for about 10 days during my confinement period, so i will have to find an alternative source of food during the 10 days.
Samval, my folic acid is prescribed from doctor and the label seems to indicate that there are some vitamin components added into the pill. But not sure what components those are.
i will be finishing my 12 weeks by end next week. Can feel the MS slowly subsiding. But i am also constantly hungry... anybody has the same feeling???
sperzz, ya, same here. I cannot stand the smell of cooking food too (esp when it involves frying). Unfortunately, my downstairs neighbour love to cook and at 9 pm plus too! Whenever i notice them starting to cook, i will close all my windows. Better to suffocate than to suffer from nauseousness.
