My back also very painful for since last 2 weeks, ther are some days it was so painful that i cannot breath properly. No matter sit or stand will felt the pain. Only way is to lay flat on bed, so that my back will not feel so much pain. Even now i siting down, i can feel the pain also.

jtho,
Can ask your hubby to help you on baby. For my case I gave FM at night as heating up BM need time and baby can't wait and I too tired to let baby latch on in the middle of the night, my hubby help mixed the milk and I feed baby. So can at least get your hubby to be involve in taking care also.

sun96,
Thanks for sharing. Hummm... Avent Duo is ligheter than Medela by half of the weight. For suction think is the power range for suction and for cycle think is to set the cycle speed ba.
Asura, you can consider since is much lighter in weight for Avent Duo.

pinkdemoness,
I have got mixed reviews from my colleagues over manual pump. Most tell me that manual pump no use if got problem with milk supply. There is a colleague who prefers manual to electric cos she was quite used to the manual one already. Only borrowed the electric one to try during her 2nd bb. Guess if can pump hard and not feel tired, the manual one is more effective than the electric one.

I oso scare if i buy a gd one, then not suitable for me. Waste $$.. So I borrowed my sis Medela Mini Single Electric pump for the time being 1st. If when give birth, can use, ok.. If not, see wat the problem, then decide which better pump to buy.
Like my sis, she bought the pump but didnt get to use coz she gave up on BF.

sun96,
Some mummies do go for renting to try out the pump. You can check at parents craft at TMC, they have rental service there. If you not too sure on which to get than just rent and try out see which you think is better. From my view just don't get manual or single pump.

wah, this thread is really fast!
breastpump: wld be good idea to try out first before buying so to make sure we dun spend so much $ getting a wrong one. tink alot depends on indiv, wat's good for one person may not be suitable for the next. read that the breastfeeding organsiation of singapore does allow trials of their breastpumps but must call to fix appt. maybe nearer the 3rd tri?
dizzy - dun take liver k, read it's no good for pregnant mummies to take. instead take more iron giving food e.g. spinachs, eetc and slowly stand up/move.
latex free mattress - wah, cindy, taht's really exp. i tot 100+ is like at most 120. hopefully can hv another sales promo like wat sun mentioned at taka. give free mattress with cot. hee still if good for bb, tink i will save, save, save to buy. can put waterproof top sheet on it or use mattress protector if worried about water-proofing, rite?

minnie24 & kome - dun take too much cold stuff. went EYS asked yest on the dong cong xia cao. the lady was reminding me not to take cold stuff coz she said it's very bad for bb respiratory development. bb will be more prone to colds, coughs. not sure if true. but i'm worried and rather believe to be on the safe side. hv been drinking chilled drinks too, tot without ice is quite safe, just chilled. now will cut cut cut again
minnie24 ...
same same almost all the liquid that goes in my mouth is cold heehee i think cold is ok its the cooling stuff that we cant take too much =p
re: bb journal
i collected my kit from Bishan Library today, just need to fill up the form only. She didnt ask me any question heehee must say that the quality q good.
mummies ...
went for my 16 week scan today and bb was in a v strange position so my gynae cant meansure his 'height' but he did a scan on the head and showed us that the brain is developing normally. the raised NT has REDUCED completely =) so now its normal ... v v happy!!
also he showed us the bb bird bird and measured the bird bird too hahahaha my gynae even disturbed my hubby and say: is the size ok? hahahaha
he measured the lenght of the leg and assured me that everything is growing according to schedule. with that he proceeded to do my blood test - which he only do when the genetic report and NT has reduced to normal.
so its a happy visit for us today =) of cos detailed scan would be the confirmation for us lar ... will be bringing my #1 to see the detailed scan so that he can say hi to the di di.
re: breastpump
if you are going back to work then it would be better to get a dual pump as it saves time and more efficient in clearing the breast.
for me even after i use the pump, i will still use my hand to clear the milk. you will be surprised, can get about 10 - 20ml sometimes heehee
