Super busy day today. Bought video cam, bought cat food/litter to last at least 1mth, saw doctor, did waxing, bought other household items (like pails so my mum has somewhere to pour herbal bath water thing), bought cheap small tv for guestroom. Ready to peng san now. I didn't walk much cos drove everywhere, chalking up all the parking fees (the Taka one was the worst!), and am ready to peng san now. But I still came in and guai guai did my OT
Skylermum/dolly, I’ve also been told by relatives/friends in BF-friendly countries that even if baby has jaundice, it is not true that BF needs to stop.
sweethalo, both me and my sis, and all the kids that my mum babysat, have never used pacifier in our lives. So I think it’s not idealistic to think about NOT giving one to your kid
But yes, thumb sucking is very hard to wean off, I was a thumb sucker! Hehe… Cos you can’t keep someone’s thumb away from them. It’s ALWAYS there… But there’s really nothing you can do to prevent a kid from sucking thumb/fingers.
kikismom, I also had the suck thumb hold blanket/towel/hanky combo. Picture Linus fom Peanuts, and that’s exactly how I looked like hahaha…
caramelle, the prices in Gmarket has gone up, when I ordered couple months back, they were a lot cheaper. Now not sure, maybe marginally cheaper only, or perhaps same price, but you usually get free delivery, which isn't bad. Ooh, looking forward to your LVs?
I sneaked into Cartier after waxing today, and told the guy I’ll be back in a month’s time to treat myself to one of the bags that I liked there! Haha… He said now still got stock, but not sure if they’ll still have in 1mth’s time, so I’ll leave it to fate.
Annie/ahnet, I also got the same types of stomach/vagina pain, as per Annie's description. Quite frequently
The vagina pain is quite irritating actually. But just “ren” lor… Today Gynae asked me if got more contractions, I told him nothing new hahaha… Hope you feel better now Annie... Did doctor give you something to lessen the contractions or pain?
Add on to Cassey’s post about jaundice: Jaundice is very prevalent in EAST ASIAN babies (perhaps the 80-90% that Cassey mentioned?). Jaundice is not as prevalent in white babies. Tough luck.
Bbaugustine/dolly, the 1kg I put on overnight?? Baby only put on 100g! Baby went from 2.7kg+ to 2.8g+. Sian… Gynae looked at my feet/legs, and said there’s some amount of water retention, so some of the weight gain can be attributed there, but I also “heard” what he didn’t say: the rest went to ME. *cry* I never change my eating habits over the last month (in fact I’ve stopped durian), and I put on weight instead.
Creamer, my doc prescribed me the same cream as yours, the P-something one. And he also told me that I can buy the lactulose solutions from pharmacies, said it’s mild enough to start drinking now, used as stool softener all the way till after birth, so no need to “geng”, which isn’t good for c-sec or episio wound. But I happily left the clinic, and forgot to go to pharmacist to get my cream. Sigh. Wondering if I can ask my hubby to get for me tomorrow…
PeachBB, I asked my doc, he said usually for c-sec, go with spinal block (but he kept emphasizing the effect is not much different from epidural, it's just the patient's personal choice). Answers to my questions: It kicks in within 1-2min, and it’s administered in one shot (no tube sticking out like with epi), and wears off slightly faster than epidural. No difference in cost. So I said I'll go for spinal block.
Bluedream, all the best, update us tomorrow with your good news!!
Cassey, the peanut shot!
Ok, off to sleep now. SO TIRED...
