hi tinkles mum, sorry i was aslp. no energy to do anything anymore..
i used baby detergent her mittens booties, cloth nappies, blankets n bedsheets.. i used the pureen brand, blue bottle with yellow cap cos it smells the best (in my opinion)..
but baby clothes my mum washed before she went overseas, she used normal detergent but very little..
my friend a nurse at TMC said its ok to use normal detergent but use very small amount in case the baby skin too sensitive, but i think safest to use baby detergent..
i didn't soak in water, everything i used detergent. but the bedsheet still smells funny (brand new smell) so never mind la. i didn't wash the mattress protector, mum says no need..
i handwashed everything but took a long time to dry cos we didn't wring it dry.. and i'm afraid that some materials might "kee mor" i dunno how to say in english haha.
but my mum used machine for the baby's clothes..
dries so much faster!!
but handwashing = sense of accomplishment hahaha
J&M,
hello! i'm feeling better but just no strength to go anywhere. even go toilet also must slowly crawl out of bed. the swelling of the feet has not subsided, now fingers also swollen.. cannot bend and when i stretch, my thumb hurts.. aiyoo..
then got diarrhoea.
hi cheekz,
sure i will definitely let everyone if i'm the first to pop haha!
i really hope to see little baby soon!
hi joanna,
hello, hope you're feeling better.. i also don't have difficulties breathing anymore.. i had a nightmare that my gynae used a butter knife to conduct the episiotomy and it was so scary!

i stay at yishun with my MIL
i do pedicure cos i cannot bend to reach my own toe nails.. but the last time i did was chinese new year..
i wanted to do another time before i give birth but my gynae say must remove nail polish when in in labour so that they can see the colour of the toes..
in the mother & baby magazine, the gynaes also write that its safe to do it..
i highlighted my hair and rebonded it during chinese new year..
some old folks say cannot paint nails cos of the chemical but i still do haha.
as long as my gynae say ok, means its safe. but my MIL is ok, she never say anything.. she just tell me cannot cut nails on the bed haha.
if ur MIL say cannot, i think better not. later got argument! but u want, secretly go n do la. don't colour so obvious

re: confinement
my mum is doing it for me, but she is not the traditional type. she say no need use herb to bathe.. no need to eat confinement food - all those ginger pig trotters etc... she will just prepare fish soup n healthy food for me.
she say i must bathe at least twice a day if not very smelly and cannot carry baby if i'm smelly haha.
she very different i think.. she say "pls bathe if not baby will not come near u.." so i no need to prepare anything for confinement!
hi sallen,
i find j8 boring for me (nothing to buy for myself) but for baby, quite ok haha. the kiddy palace there really very small. but i like to go n see see cute baby things make myself happy haha!
i've not been to the causeway point one.. i go to compass point n jurong point..
i think kiddy palace is such a cute place hahaha. next time our babies sure want to go there n see toys

Porky,
I'm playing FB games lo. I also loves to watch HK shows but dun understand cantonese as well. So have to look out for the subtitles..but it's been a long time since I had time to sit down n enjoy a movie.
J&M,
yes, u r right. Disc only applies to diecasts and those Thomas plates, spoons, bottles..etc. The lady there says Tomy very strict about disc on their big items. Anyway, I had to get so damaged was abt $60 for a simple basic track plus train.

Hi Mummies, failed in my attempt to start washing baby stuff again. The weather is really stormy, but thanks for your advice on whether to use detergent or not. I hope to start next week. In the end, spent the weeked resting and cooking.
These past few days my baby started kicking more and harder. Sitting straight is becoming a prob for me too
Which week shld I be expecting my belly button to pop out btw?
Btw Audrey, what is the brand of the tea that you bought again for BF? I wanna go online and order later. Thanks!

Audrey > That's pretty scary leh. If suddenly got headache then that's it. Sure collapse loh. Yoh...be cautious leh.
Porky> My feel less swollen. Sometimes very swollen sometimes not. I dunno also. I still sleep with bolster under my feet. Just continue since it helps a little.
J&M> Fungus infection under the belly? Really? My gyne din even "inspect" my skin only ask me questions and listen to my agony then prescribe medications to me...that's abt it. I scratched the area under my tummy today (just before shower) and so shiok though not supposed to.
I hope it's fungus infection for me too but it does not seem so. The red bumps machiam all over my body now. Wonder what else will help to make them disappear before my delivery. Think I should be wk 34 now.
