Hi mummies, found this on the net with regards to water retention. Hope it helps.
Ways to fight bloating during pregnancy. Water retention or ‘bloating’ is usually a result of rising hormone levels which cause you to retain more fluid than you would normally.
Luckily there are a number of different ways to help reduce the effects of this during your pregnancy, and some of these include:
1. Lie down or elevate your feet regularly. Try and get your feet elevated as much as you can, especially during the third trimester.
2. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes, shoes or stockings as these will only restrict the blood flow and make your fluid retention worse.
3. Exercise will also help you a great deal with fluid retention, try swimming, yoga or walking.
4. Avoid diuretic drugs, especially during the early weeks of pregnancy.
5. Drink water- try and ensure that you are drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water a day. You should be doing this even if you are not suffering from fluid retention anyway.

re: watermelon
watermelon is actually heaty but its the white part of the skin that is cooling
most fruits balance off by themselves ... even for coconut ... the coconut water is cooling and the flesh is heaty ... thats why if you eat both they actully balance out
even the mandarine orange oso ... you know the white white fiber stuff ... that one will balance off the heatiness of the flesh
re: water retention
to get rid of water retention is to drink more water =) its cos of the salt in the body + the fact that we dun drink enough ... thats why the body is storing up water that results in water retention
think to avoid it is not to drink too much water at night ... consume more water in the day time
lenny ...
most PD will advise to bring bb out only after 3mths though i have frens who already started bringing their bb to shopping ctr even during confinement mth ... for me i only brought him to orchard when he was 2.5mth cos it was the xmas period heehee
guess every family has their own set of difficulties ... do what you think its best for yourself and your gal ... that should be good enough

Seabreeze/Lenny,
I dont know leh... but i think it is good to bring bb out to parks for stroll after confinement. I believe that the greens and nature is good for the bb. Actually if confinement month i cannot take it, i would bring bb out to bishan park for a stroll. But shopping centres i would avoid as much as possible, more germs and viruses in enclosed areas.

just to share that my fren who went to You Long Zi ever mentioned that he tend to give the same few names or rather use the same few character to the bb that pop around the same period ... and that too many ppl go to him so she feels that in terms of service level oso not v good

Came across AsiaOne article about "The best pineapple tarts" is from <font color="0000ff">Pine Garden</font> at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. http://www.asiaone.com/specials/cny09/bestpineappletarts.html
So, today purposely go there ~12+pm but pineapple tarts already sold out and they don't accept further order and tell me to come early tomorrow to try my luck
so disappointed. Give up...

Queenie,
yah man. Damn hot. No choice as if I don't walk them around lunch time one of them will pee in the house and I will then have to clean up.
Sportyger,
so poor thing. Hope your sis comes back soon. I usually only have a Shih Tzu at home. Recently we decided to bring our mini shnauzer (very big sized, not like a mini at all) home from my MIL's house as he is suffering from very bad tooth decay (like rotten fish) and requires daily brushing. MIL doesn't know how to take care so figured we bring him back for now. Temporal measure only lah. Frankly I can't handle two dogs and a newborn. Even one dog is difficult liao. No choice.
Lenny,
It's a shame that your ILs don't know how to treasure you. They sound like terrible folks. In any case, you alone will know what's best for you and your family. Be strong yah
Seabreeze,
thanks for the info. That's ver interesting indeed. I never knew that about the fruits I am eating.

St,
For removing rust in sterilizer, I use vinegar + lemon juice + 1 cup of water add into the sterilizer and let it ran after the auto switch is off throw away the brown water which is the rust inside, normally after this I put tab water 1 cup and let it ran again to remove the vinegar smell, just do it like once a week or 5 days once if you like, it can be done on Avent and Pigeon, I have told my friend to do it on her Avent it works. For me I use Pigeon so can see it remove totally.

Sunshine, yah lor. Xiao liao.
wow I just received an sms from beautyscent, who has a BP thread on fragrances/cosmetics/skincare. I just ordered and paid yesterday afternoon and they are sending to my place tonight at betw 7-9pm. Damn fast.
I bought the Clarin oil (100ml) from them at $56. Cheaper than the stores outside.
seabreeze, my friend order from USA directly, think she spent less than USD300 (roughly SGD450). She is very happy with it so far. In Singers if I am not wrong you need to pay between $700-$800. So this is a huge amount of savings. You can just purchase the step up transformer from local hardware stores. I inherited a set from my SIL in the US so this weekend I'll be shopping for a transformer myself.

Jasmine,
oh that's a great tip, thanks for sharing. I inherited a used steriliser too so this really comes in handy.
Oh yes, Lin Zhi Yuan. I rem now. Good. Because I vaguely rem having tried it eons ago but it left no impression on me so I wasn't sure. My hubby said the same, that it's not special and in fact a bit dry. Funny. Why do people queue for so long for it.
Jing Ping Xiang is another brand? Is that nicer than Mei Zhen Xiang? Where do you get it from? Most importantly, do I need to queue to get it?
