Re: seafood - c-sect
I started taking again in the 2nd month. Seems ok leh. But then I do have keloids
am diligently applying the cream that my gynae gave me now, hopefully the keloid will go off.
RE: Jurong point gathering
that is the one at Boonlay or Jurong East? If it is the latter I would love to join.
Ida,
you have 4 kids wor. I doubt I can maintain present weight if I have 4 kids. Good job mommy!
May,
welcome back! I rem you are the nice mommy who organised the studioloft maternity shot package for us.
May, Irene,
oh dear. Nothing worries us more than our little bubs falling sick. I hope your little ones will get well soon.
Mangogal,
that's a good reminder, to praise my hubby when he does something nice. Ok, I'll try to find something to praise him for today. Hopefully I can do that everyday

kome, Lenny,
I hate exercising also. But am thinking I need to start soon before the pouch becomes a permanent one. I find that binding the tummy real tight helps ALOT ALOT. Because on days that I bind my belly, my belly really shrink by heaps. On days when I got lazy and didn;t bind, within a day or two the ugly bulge comes back. MUST BIND BELLY!
hmmm I say only la. My binder don;t know put where now
Thanks. I got skinny genes, but I don;t have good skin. My face is flush with freckles. That's why I need to endure IPL sessions to get them under control Quite painful, these sessions.

teddy,
I made my own nursing cover based on one of the nursing covers sold via the BPs, the one taht is basically a rectagular piece of cloth with neck straps and a wired semi circle boning at the top that allows you to peek down at baby as you nurse. Had a lot of time when I was pregnant mah, being a SAHMTB then.

sportyger,
just read the 2nd part of your post. Woooww so exciting! You must be having mixed feelings now, the joy of going back into the market place and yet anxiety over leaving your baby at home.
we mommies worry incessantly. Become a SAHM we worry that we lose touvh with the market and become auntie-fied. No money, no autonomy. But have the time in the world to spend investing in our baby. Become a FTWM and we have the money, status, self satisfaction career wise but ... feel guilty about not personally taking care of what matters the most. Aiiiiiiiii never ending.

alfafa,
It is not easy at all being a working mum. Though I am thankful that my workplace is pro-family, I do have to forgo quite a number of opportunities as a result of young children. I cannot just pack and go on a work trip without working out the logistics of who is going to look after my children at night, can my hubby cope with bringing the kid back-forth, etc. When the child reaches about 14 months old and start to know how to look for you, it is not easy to tear yourself away from the bawling kid. And people who comment "wah, good hor, 4 months maternity leave" do not know how much I have lost out these couple of months. My absence have given my colleagues the opportunity to cover my work and happen during this period, there are very significant things which I was supposed to handle. Work which will increase my visibility by leaps and bounds. Without these exposure, my performance appraisal next year will be affected as well. Oh wells, the sacrifice for our little ones
Hee.. Coach tote bag will be something that Starflower was carrying that day.
With time, I may hear you telling me "I don't need a diaper bag anymore. I just stuff this in the carrier pocket, this in my pocket, this hang on the carrier and see, hands-free!" Haha.
Your sis's son is so cute
Mine is really testing my patience. Just in a short 2 hour mother's day lunch with my family yesterday, he had 3 major melt-downs which I have to pacify. Very very trying.
Vivien,
Yes. I saw gynae at 1 week post-partum, then 6 weeks later for pap smear. The next one is 6 months later.
teddybaby,
I am using PISA. Is the pain due to abrasion? Apply some nipple cream prior to pumping. It should help.

Lenny,
for carriers, we've only tried her facing inwards, for about 20mins, in the bb bjorn air before. That was when she was about 6-7 weeks I think. She seems ok but I do subconsciously put my hand around the front of the bjorn air to support her head. As for the pikkolo, even though her neck is still not strong yet, the high body gives her head a good support so there was no need to hold on to anything.
Re: photography
hmm ... that is a good idea. If not because I just took he maternity shots I would have gone for one family shot with bb and hubby too. Maybe I will wait a little longer. Or maybe do it with my #2 next time.
Yah IMM needs to take feeder bus. I lazy lah, would just cab over if it is IMM. Boon lay too far for me liao. You ladies enjoy yah!

Mangogal,
I agree man wants praises to feel good... but hor, they forget they need to praise us too! I was telling my hubby not to take what I am doing now for granted. I am on maternity leave and hence I do all the night wakings for the baby (my baby is basically an owl), but doesn't mean it is only right I do. Please appreciate the fact that I am also a human who needs sleep at night but am willing to sacrifice for the baby. He said ORH. But never hear any sweet nothings from him thereafter leh.
alfafa, kome,
According to my weighing scales, I am back to my pre-preg weight already. As for jelly-tummy, I ALWAYS have that tummy... no matter pre-baby or pre-marriage! And yesterday in watsons' a promoter saw me from far, waylaid me and was trying to push "body cream that can slim down the tummy" to me. I was using the Balboa which should have covered my tummy leh! She still like that. Boo.

that's it. I'll go search for a smaller but still baby friendly bag now. The more I think about how you travelled so light the more I cannot stand my big diaper bag now.
Re: ML's effect on appraisal
aii such is the real world. If it can happen to you being in the civil sector can you imagine the pte sector? Told you right? my colleague who got pregnant 4 months ahead of me was seated down by our CEO and MD, and "offered" a job downgrade the moment they knew. Took away her team, her portfolio and leave her with a title with more admin work. That's why I left in a puff, when I knew I was going to try for a family.
me going upstairs to search for my bags .. all kept in closet already.

alfafa,
Haha. I am sure you can find something in your closet. Else, there is such thing as mini diaper bags Was tempted to get one last time but didn't. Even though my handbag serves me well, I do need something bigger if I want to bring a book with me to read as I sip coffee outside with baby! Woah! I better enjoy such lifestyle whilst I can. I am reporting back to work end-June. Bummer. But ok, I still have my job. I shan't complain
Kome,
Hubby did help me out before but then again, I think I rather do on my own. Haha. When he helps me, baby cries longer than usual cos he needs to heat up milk (no breast to offer), constantly stuff pacifier into baby's mouth.... and the most important factor that deters me from wanting his help is, after just one night of looking after, he needs 3 days to recuperate. Oh wells... I think I will just do on my own. But when I am really tired and go back to my room to sleep in the morning around 5 - 6am (I room in with baby at night for faster reaction), when baby cry after that he will take over. Cos I am a dead log by then, cannot hear the cries and he had sufficient sleep to get him through the day already.
mangogal,
Your hubby is indeed a keeper! Haha. Sweet

pups, lenny,
I just recently bot and used the 30mm size breast shield as I suspect that the standard size of 24mm that comes with the medela PIS is too small and causing pain. But now it seems even with the large size still pain leh...don tell me I need XL size of 36mm?? Can I just check that basically u gals don feel any pain at all when pumping and side nipple don rub against funnel??
Kome: Thanks for the link!

teddy - that time i also same case. cn see the nipple being squeezed badly. pain! got the L but also experienced some pain but after awhile it went away. u have to look at ur nipple when pumping... by right, nipple shld not rub the sides of the funnel leh... if not sure cause pain n abrasions in time to come...
teddybear: I'm also using the 30mm size and the sides do rub against the funnel.
I had used 24mm, 27mm and 30mm. All also rub against.
I find that as I progress to a bigger funnel, my nipples also expand and eventually will still rub against the funnel.
Initially, felt dicomfort, now maybe nipples seasoned liao, ke ke, so now ok. No way am I going to get XL size.

Hi all, I decided to come out from lurking. hehe.
I had posted here briefly when I was pregnant. I was in the list of pregnant March mothers. Then disappeared. Now reappeared.
Thanks to the mothers who encourage me to post and not be shy.
Mine is child #1, a cowboy.
Nice to meet you all.

anyone's baby fussy before his feed? my bb suddenly this whole wk always cry and refuse the teat..before he can latch and drinks from bottle very well..and suddenly since last saturday was very cranky..now he sometimes want to latch..sometimes also refuse and cry..but if bottle feed will surely cry..I'm so stressed as it happens on every feed and now it takes 1/2-1hour before he finish his milk..
is it because of nipple confusion or due to wind?
I even called mrs.wong but she said nipple confusion won't last that long, usually only a few days...but if it's due to wind...when is this phase finally going to an end?

alfafa/pups - i think i'm still not confident of nursing on the go even though logistics wise realli can cut down and hence more convenient oso, cos thinking may look strange since i definitely will display those looks of discomfort when trying to latch bb on! and passers-by will think what i'm up to man... hahaha...besides i tink next time when bb has teeth i won't dare latch liao...i realli hope can go for the gathering too but i tink hb will make noise la, since he doesn't want to bring bb out at this point of time...cos swine flu ma....but if in future got gatherings hope to meet up with u gals lo, then can learn from u all =)
Re: Maternity leave

miss83- my bb is fussy before his feed oso...i tink thats jus him...i have to keep coercing him...he drinks, stops and makes noises, drinks and than stops and makes noises again...the cycle goes round...there was once i thought it seemed to be nipple confusion too, but like what mrs wong said it doesn't last that long...now he can drink from bottle and latch on too...no problem...jus that he will fuss before each feed but ultimately he will drink too...i guess its wind ba...
Ida- do u bring a manual or electric pump outside? I'm still thinking whether to buy a manual or mini electric one...since i really don't feel like bringing my Ameda electric pump out...heavy heavy...

teddybear,
When the shield diameter is right, there will still be a bit of contact with the sides after awhile. The nurses at TMC parentcraft taught me to apply a little nipple cream prior to pumping. Anyway, I am using the supershields (angled shields) now and so far so good.
Lipstar,
Finally see you here again
When the shield diameter is right, there will still be a bit of contact with the sides after awhile. The nurses at TMC parentcraft taught me to apply a little nipple cream prior to pumping. Anyway, I am using the supershields (angled shields) now and so far so good.
Lipstar,
Finally see you here again

teddy & lipstar,
thanks for asking about the funnel. I'm also using the original shield that comes w the PIS advanced & nipples are rubbing against the funnel. Always wondering if i should change the size, after reading what lipstar wrote, think i wont bother coz it doesn't hurt (& i apply heaps of purelan) and no want i want a XL size funnel...
Maternity leave
Major reorg happening in my dept. Gg back to work in June...kinda apprehensive..arrangements w mum already settled..wonder if i'll miss baby since i'm gonna be seeing him over weekends and once during the week only...hmm....maybe i'm short of some motherly instinct here...

Alfafa:
ya...I think being a SAHM and FTWM is both equally confusing... I also wanted to opt to be a SAHM but afraid after sometime when baby able to go childcare I can't return to the working society and no spending power... but being a FTWM means I need to sacrifice my time with my BB but like u say I can gain status and financial power... so I am still in a dilema whether to quit my current job a not after my ML... haiz...

Re: SAHM vs FTWM
Ahhh....i was thinking whether i could be a SAHM but i don't think i can...cos basically i find it hard to deal with bb's cries at home...the thing good about it is i get to see my bb everyday cos i know once if i go back to work i will miss my bb so much...and besides being a FTWM i get to have my own income to spend...my hb's income cannot support the family alone...
