Sentosa Siloso beach is kinda nice, stayed there before. There's a tiled slide underneath the front desk area in the pool which is popular with kids and adults, though I think with kids need supervision, water depth might still be a little high. If alone, better go early, gets a little noisy and hot with the tiled floors. Rooms are quite nice, but 1 central lift lobby, and the concrete stairs will be tiring for preggies, especially going to and fro to the car park. Food is so-so, and staff sometimes a little blur cos I suspect they are hospitality school trainees.
Mashy,
Can also drop by the Fish Therapy massage centre beside Underwater World whilst you are there, that's one of the usual things I go for when I go to Sentosa, cos it's a little cheaper with credit card promos. I won't go for the foot massage lar because I think they are not knowledgable for handling preggies. But just the fish therapy is nice enough if you are not squimish.

thanks!
haha, i'm kind of scared of fish. Can look at them, but not so close to them. that's why when i buy fish for cooking, it's always fillet/cross sections. When i go snorkling, I stay away from the fishes. hahah. Just look at them from afar.

Hey <font color="ff0000">Sam</font>
I heard/read before some horror stories abt the fish therapy, how some people got infection and what not skin-related diseases due to unclean water. Best be careful...
<font color="ff0000">Mashy</font>
Will def check out the sentosa promos, sounds very attractive indeed. Haha abt being scared of fishes though, I love diving and had so much fun when I swam into schools of fish. I will bring bread down so I can feed them so they will swim near me

FOZ,
ic. I just stick with the Sentosa one because their tanks are not so gimmicky - nothing but fish and water, and they require you to wash your feet properly before going in (some centres like Kenko-type, decorate their tanks with plants and pebbles, I feel will not be cleaned out often, so infection is not surprising), and they've have dealt with the issue of contamination, killing the entire stock, so quite strict with the use of the fishes, once you pick the breed to put your feet in, you can't change. Otherwise, if got open wounds like blister etc, better don't go, the fish won't treat you nice either.

Hi babyethan,
I had emailed to u.
I had emailed to u.
HBB,
Yup, let's us know how much to trf to you. We'll help you feed your POSB acct.
Not fan of Horlicks, and can live without Milo, but this is also first time I heard that Malt has this effect on BF. There's a Lipton 3-in-1 with Malt in the market I think. I only heard red date tea was the confinement norm, which comes to mind, I should go ask my doc if I can use Fenugreek.

Kimberly,
Can share with me the medical hall you go to to buy your herbs?
I would want to go with my mum to buy them too.
The last time my mum bought the herbs at Fu Lu Shou, but its not a medical hall place, just a wholesaler.. so maybe that why i felt i did not have a nourishing enough confinement.. haha
BTW anyone knows if we can take Bai Feng Wan from EYS after delivery as a more convenient way of tonic?

Hi Sunsweet,
For the bai feng wan from EYS,i had checked with the person that during confinement,is best to take 2 bottles per week.
To sort of like act as a tonic after delivery.
But not too sure if can take while breastfeeding,this might have to check again.

Hi all mommies.. I may have been "hyper-stimulated" last night, I got home showered and tido-- then at 2am, I w/up and brain very active. stayed up picking my Tao-gay until 4, then struggle to to back to sleep.. upper backache. Hubby w/up to massage me then he can't sleep, so went and watch tv. Meanwhile I read my bible story book and fell asleep with one hand still holding my book..
(Muffingirl) Malt Tea: I read this in the confinement recipe book, I will post the details tomorrow.
(Sunsweet) Chinese Med Hall: the place I went is Queen St (Temp) market (their actual shop is Albert St but under reno), also a wholesaler type. 玉发海味补品行 Blk270 Queen St #02-50/51 M:97519775 T:63387761 & 63363157. Ask for 老板娘. I paid about between $415 & $525 for my last Cordycep (she'll mix all the necessary ingredients such as the wolfberries, red dates etc and pack into individual serving) recipe (about total of 10 use). And I paid $340 for the medium grade 龙牙燕(燕窝), approx 10pcs. But I tell you, although every one looks very clean, the picking of the remaining fur from the bird nest is no joke.. I just soak 2 pcs this morning, have to pick them tonight before the brew.
Some of my cousins also do not go to shops like this to get their herbs, I have one who is supporter of EYS and another 2 who swear by Hock Hua.. But I think their quality do not vary very much. But as far as I was told by an ex colleague before that when she tried to buy top grade bird nest from a shop along Chinatown, the sale girl told her only EYS had top grade bird nest, she also told her that EYS will not cheat their customer of the grade and the price. So I myself do believe in EYS too!

RE: Fernugreek
My friend's bb releases smelly fart when my friend took fernugreek to boost her milk supply, she said some bb may, some may not.
I also found the link below very interesting and useful (like the ang-moh version of confinement/ BF/ childbirth b4 & after...)

Hi Mashy,
Thanks for the info on the Hotel Siloso at Sentosa, I immediately check it out w my husband.. haha maybe planning for a short stay there too since its quite affordable.
HI Kim,
Thanks for the info too, I prefer to buy from EYS too as compared to HockHua... cos of some personal experience with HockHua staffs. But most prob, you are right, the quality shd not differ too much. Oh yes, did u buy the lotus to go with the birdnest too? My mother in law added it in for one of my birdnest that she brewed for me, its taste great.. but she told me that there are some benefits too...

Lotus seed with birdnest? Maybe i can get my mum to try that.
usually my mum will cook birdnest with pao sheng rock sugar and 2 red dates.
Kim, the Cordecypes you got like quite reasonable leh.
I was thinking if I should go to the chinese physician to get my pluse read after my delivery then let him prescribe the tonic instead? like that I too can get co. subsidy..

There are some side effects related to Fenugreek such as effect on blood glucose levels and blood pressure, so I'm probably gonna check with the doc then whether it can be taken when I'm bf-ing. hehe, I'm the type don't like herbal teas one, probably take the capsules.
HBB,
I had a Mango juice, and the crepe.

u r right
the fenugreek pill actualy will lower our sugar level (diabetics take sth similar)
but if u eat normal meals or more(bf sure eat alot of hi cal stuff) then its actualy not a prob to take the fenugreek.
if u still feel unsure... u can ask ur doc... while soem doc will prob say no scientifically proven fenugreek helps in milk supply

so winter time its a worm, and comes summer is a plant..
keke so when it was a worm it had legs loh..
Re: EYS Bai Feng Wan
I went to EYS during lunch and ask the Snr sales aunty there.. she say BFW can be taken abt 10-12 days after delievery.. when the Lochita is subsiding.
it will help the the womb to contract better and nourishing effects too. It does not affect our milk supply.
Currently there is a 20% discount for the item so its abt $37 /box of 6 bottles(I roughly remember).
As for the dosage is 1 bottle a day.. will need to take abt 12 bottles (2 boxes)...
Kimberly,
possible to share what kind of confinement herbs had you bought other than the Red Dates Tea Ingredients?

I am not very certain about the various portals - I leave it to my HR to sort this out. I did suggest to them to try also jobstreet, monster, etc. but the ultimate decision maker is HR.
<font color="ff0000">Jamie</font>
Probably got to do with expectations. If you are not willing to accept a job which is, for instance, offers too low, or is too far from your house, or job scope not what you had in mind, etc. then obviously it may be more challenging to find a job. However I believe in Singapore, there are still jobs avail - perhaps just lower one's expectations?
