shelisa, ya, i drink 1 whole coconut every alt days..
err.. i don't consume the cooling drinks whole day, 2 to 3 cups a day, the rest of the time, drink plain ice cold water. yes, they are all home brewed..
not sure must stop breast feeding for hw long if resort to the steriod jab as my rash stop spreading and itch by 36 weeks tho i still hv the whole body of scars and pigmentation to content with.
i do con't to take fruits but avoid heaty fruits like mangoes, durians and took alot cooling fruits like green apples, watermelons, bananas, oranges etc.. tink shld be able to add sweet potato ba, since it is not classify as "heaty" food..
no trouble at all shelisa, most importantly is i can be of some help to you.. i can totally understand what you have to go thro.. to date, even the sight of the PUPPP pic, make my hair stand.... if u hv more qns tonite, do feel free to SMS me (err.. so long as it is before 10pm, cos thereafter, i will be bz preparing my ger for her bedtime)
jam75, ya, at times the pain also make me want to pee cos the pressure is too great, but whn i go toilet only abit comes out... zzzz...
jess, cos of the PUPPP attack during my 1st pregnancy, to prevent the relapse, i started taking cooling drinks (eg chrysanthemum) since 1st trimester, started taking coconut on a once a week basis eversince i step into my 2nd trimester... till now still taking one coconut every week, didn't increase my frequency...

jam75, is your baby in the engage position? cos mine is, maybe that explain the pressure and pain at the lower abdomen...
Shelisa, maybe i try to take the medicine diligently and hope it gets smaller. Seems like the cream is effective to dry out the piles. I try to ask from gynae next week but think will be too late to apply also. But since piles at anus area and we push baby at the vagina, y the piles will get worsen huh? Isit when we push it will aggravate the veins to be bigger result in bigger piles?
creamer, now scared so put medicine so diligently. supposed to put on 4 times a day but i only do morning and night, and at night also use the suppository. in the office i scared to do cos have to sanitize my hand all that so troublesome.
Shelisa, you have a pill to eat for the piles?
comfort, the alcohol will evaporate by the time you cook so dont worry.
re coconut: aiyoh wish i can buy those from ntuc then easy to get. but i cannot hack it at home cos dont have cleaver. and my MIL say cannot use hammer or make loud noises in the house. so have to look for ready-cut ones.
jam75 and ahnetsan, when you have the labour signs, you should go to hospital straight. they can check how far dilated you are. only when you about to deliver then the midwife will call the gynae. that's what im told for KKH at least. because doing the checks will be midwife, not gynae. he only deliver and stitch you up after that.

creamer, although piles are at anus, when baby comes, you'll need more space for baby head to come out mah..so only way to stretch is backwards towards anus area lor..that's why piles will get more engorged because you like forcing it out. if you strain too hard, i think it can burst because the piles after all are veins...
Comfort, i have asked this qn during my antenatal class, as long as the alcohol is boiled with the food, the alchol content will evaporate off and can continue to breastfeed. Unless u drink the alcohol directly den it will be advisable to pump out the next feed first before consuming the alcohol.
Jam75, the nurse ask me to call the gynae to tell them our condition first and they will advise you before we head to hospital.

creamer, i think mine pre-preg also have but never caused me problems. you have oral pills to take?
if u want to get cream, no need to buy from gynae unless it's cheaper. can also buy preparation H - very popular for solving piles problem and safe for pregnancy. the one i got from KK i find not so good..

neeciel, protein in urine is usually an indication of infection. However, this infection is not restricted to vaginal infection. It could very well mean that there is an infection in kidney or bladder. It is also an indication of preeclampsia, they go hand in hand. In your case, I would think the protein is most likely due to the preeclampsia... I'm quite scared too, cos I have been prescribed daily aspirin since 20wks, to prevent hypertension/preeclampsia. But last visit at 35wks, my BP was higher than usual, at 135/85 (my normal is usually around 120/70). Tomorrow is my gynae visit again, hope the BP doesn't go any higher...
Can I ask what is your BP?
comfort, I'm with Dr Fong Yang, who's one of the stand-in gynaes you listed. Yes, they are all very experienced, so no worries
For alcohol in confinement food, just make sure that the food is cooked long enough till the actual alcohol content burns off. To be safe, like what Skylermum says, BF/express before eating the food item that has alcohol, then wait 2 hrs before BFing again.
comfort/ahnetsan, I was also thinking of getting my mum to cook the papaya/fish soup a day or two before I pop, KS a bit hahaha... Don't think it's harmful to eat BEFOREHAND right??
jam75, if your pee strip don't change colour, means everything is fine, no protein or sugar in urine. The nurse will check your strip against a colour chart that they have. If your urine happens to be very yellow cos never drink enough water before your pee test, don't panic if you see the test strip colour turning slightly darker. Mine does that sometimes, and it's still considered ok
Skylermum, I've been getting more crampy this week, both the upper belly kind, and the lower abdomen menstrual cramp kind. Think salbutamol really gets less and less effective over time...
creamer, while baby pops out from the vagina, as you are pushing, blood rushes to your lower region in general, so blood will also be rushing to your piles, similar like if you were trying to push a poop out while sitting on toilet bowl (sorry for the graphic explanation), you see? This pushing causes the piles to fill up with blood and worsen lor. If you sit down too much and don't move around, our circulation not very good at this stage of pregnancy, so blood tends to follow gravity and pool around the lower region, which would cause piles to be worsen too (this is what happened for me)...

pigletgir1: Thanks for all the explanation on PUPPP, it's good even just FYI
Lovelytulips: Congratulations!
bbPotato, Chidori: Went to the medical hall today, Mrs Chua mentioned that someone called and I told her yeah, we talk about it in the forum. The price for placenta processing is $70 like what Chidori said, guess now she knows we do talk
Confinement Chinese herbs: Mrs Chua took around 30 min to explain to us that they also do confinement food packages in terms of the Chinese medical receipes which they sell. Like things to drink for various purposes. She says sometimes confinement lady might not be so knowledgeble so we can bring our CL down to have a look too.
Annie: Since your husband is cooking the confinement food, might be good to go down and listen to see what she offers.

bbPotato: For now, I just wan the plain one. Cos I also wonder if I'll give it to baby as well, if I do, then better dun add those pearl powder or cordycep.
Did your colleague add anything?
But I'm considering those other confinement herbs and Chinese medicine which she had mentioned. This is because my mum has some medical condition and cannot fly to Singapore at this time and my aunt is overseas now, with all the elders unavailable, I'm really left with CL help only.
