hi shirley n mashy

thks for ur fast reply...

may i ask how do u noe it's heartburn? i mean do u noe of anyone who encounter b4? how to cure n what are the causes?
 
pegsfur
i am gonna make sure my PIL wash their hand (Sars method) before they hug my baby cos they in contact with cats. Especially FIL. Really pray he won't be so er xin as to go and kiss my boy because he smokes. Actually I find it disgusting for anyone to kiss my baby cept hubby but then again, maybe my boy will find it disgusting when he gets older and come to know about us kissing him haha. Thats how i felt when my mom or my dad told me i got kiss my dad before on the lips and it disgusted me! my dad smokes... yucks! and have real bad breathe. maybe not so bad last time but still yucks!
 
lin,
should be reflux...(i saw this in a poster at my co. clinic)
it consist of heartburn and wanting to vomit, burping with lots of gas...

should ask ur hb to see the doc...
 
lin

haha, many of us here have heartburn. Preg is one of the reasons for it. But i guess your hb can't be preg. :p

It's caused by excessive gastric juice. So don't take sour, spicy stuff lah. Don't take food that are diff to digest. Eat bland bland food. Take small meals.

And u can have Eno, or get an antacid! :p It's not serious lah unless it burned a hole in his stomach, so don't worry. If it doesn't go away, go see dr.
 
yen

Not just you. I also wanna go shopping hahaha.

It's great to hear from you! We've all been wondering how u're doing in hosp. Hope ur BB hangs in there as long as possible!

Pris

My HB also Leo. Also can be stubborn. But not bad=tempered. Needs praise & affirmation tho.
 
I'm back from my lunch and walking my dog .. the weather is so hot that even my doggie automatically cut short her walk

Went changi village to have my lunch - nasi lemak & coconut juice!

Ladies, tks for all your comforting and encouraging words. I dun feel so lousy now, probably becos of the nasi lemak & coconut
happy.gif
Hahaha ... but i know it'll still piss me whenever mil opens her mouth and talk abt bb, although i'm trying to heed yr advice - 1 ear in, the other ear out.

mashy,
It's ok if she wants to buy the anklet, at most i dun wear it on bb nia. But she is bugging ME to go & buy it myself with the money she gives. I dun want mah. Furthermore, i've asked my mum, and she said anklet is given by maternal side (that means my parents) to the 1st bb.

The bottomline is, i just dun want anything from that monster-in-law lah. It is only giving her a chance to show off to her frens & relatives how much she loves her grandson. Remember dat ang pow incident? She already said that heaven wants to reward her for giving me the ang pow to buy bb's clothes when she nearly strike 4D the other day. Wat bs!
 
pegsfur, don't be too vexed and just accept whatever your MIL wants to give. Cos she may turn around and tell her friends and relatives that she bought but you didn't accept, and say bad things again. Just take and chuck it one side.

bbmaking, do you get subsidized rate for hospital stay at KKH? Money can be earned back later, though its natural to worry about the bill.
 
pegsfur

my FIL gave my boy an anklet but my dad didn't give leh. So guess it's not just maternal side? My FIL didn't even tell us anything, just bought those disney anklet for him.

Well, she give, u just take lor. Don't bother too much abt what she says. Since she said that heaven wants to reward her for giving u ang pow for the bb's clothes when she strikes 4D, then perhaps she wants to be rewarded for being nice to your son. I think many pp believe that after u receive good luck, u need to spread it ard else u will get bad luck after that. So perhaps that's why she's giving u money to buy bb's anklet too? Just go and get a cute anklet for your son with the money lah. It's for your son. Not for you anyway. Whatever it is, she's still the grandmother lor. Good or bad. Coz your son will look at how u treat her and will learn that from u. Surely u won't want your son to treat u the same way right? Just think of it as educating your son on how to treat an elder properly. Never mind how she treats u.

Like what mich said, if you don't accept, you'll be presented as a bad DIL. But no harm done if u just accept it right?
 
pegsfur,
u ate ur lunch at changi village?
near my work place leh...

but i dun go out to eat cos only 45mins lunch time...
 
pegsfur,
agree with mich and mashy...

she want to give...just take lor...

dun want to see/touch the money...
just tell her pass $$ to ur hb..
and let ur hb settle the "gold" problem...
 
lin (pingwen1703) ,

how do u noe it's heartburn?

Bcoz most of the mummy here encounter this in our first and last trimester.

for your husband, he can go to Pharmacy to get some medicine, but for pregnant lady, we normally don't take medicine, bcoz not sure it is safe for our bb or not.
 
Mashy

Is it? haha... cancer actually is a very family oriented man.

My friend only family oriented to his wife only wor.. the rest don bother one wor. Maybe this is one exception case? Haha..

Oh your bro is Leo ah?
Haha...

Hi, Got this list of things to buy for newborn baby from a friend. Thought of sharing with mummies here to stock up during the GSS.<center><table border=1><tr><td>

A few years ago a health study determined there are 3 main reasons people can't cope in life:

They live in the past.
They have a low self-esteem.
They can't laugh at themselves.
In fact, the study indicated that we need approximately 12 laughs a day to stay healthy!
 
Sbb, week 34 going 35. Coz got the mucus discharge with some dark brown blood, so Dr Wong wanted me to see him weekly and also to get down all emergency number and also prepare my hospital bag ready. He looked at my #1 history bb came at week 37 so he thinks bb may be early too.
 
Celine: my immediate boss is a lao-nan-ren, still single. Now, Maju camp also got some cases, my colleague need to go there every Sat to train, becoz he fail his yearly fitness test.
Cham.. need to siam my colleague as well.

anyone bought a rocker? i duuno to get one or not. Some pple said..rocker , good for baby to sleep for short while, best to buy those netted one..
Any comments on rocker?
 
pris

yah, we really need to laugh daily to keep ourselves happy.

Today, my laughter came from my son.

I was driving him home from school. At a cross junction, he said 'Turn left'. I replied, 'yes, that's right'. He laughed and laughed and kept saying 'turn left, right'. hahahaa. He was laughing at the double meaning of 'right'. So cute! He's my main source of laughter everyday now.
 
yen

dun like netted rocker. If u're going to get, pls try with some wt on it. The one i have touched the floor when my boy was on it! Even when he's a little bb. So not safe at all.
 
Yen,
my sis bott me a rocker which can be used from 0mth to toddler i find not bad wor.. bouncer also use for a short while only mah...
 
yen,
I have a hand-me-down rocker from my sister, but she say can only use for a few months. when BB can turn then cannot use already.
 
mashy, I have been laughing at kai, at myself too haahaa. Too stay sane, we have to learn to laugh at ourselves sometimes. So sometimes, I tell Kai, silly mummy here and we both have a good laugh haahaa.

Yen, if you have the net one make sure you have place it on a nice cushion mat, cause can topple easily.
 
mashy / piggytoh /kikilala / Pris: Thanks for your advice on rocker...
Hmmm..will tell my husb to save the $ for diapers instead..haha
 
mashy, we just have to learn to stay sane and have a good laugh over ourselves too haahaa. Life is already so short and also we have baby in us so must remain cheerful all the time and come over here to vent our unhappiness then release and be happy again.
 
mich/ mashy,

Honestly, I dun care if she tell others i'm a bad dil cos she has already broadcast that to her frens &amp; relatvies! Said i'm a slut who just wanna f**k around with her precious son but dun want to give birth ... that i'm a bad woman who only knows how to squander his son's money .. that i'm a shameless bitch who poisoned his son's mind.

So wat am i afraid of?

Anyway, i really think there's more to come even if this stupid anklet thing is settled. There's bound to be alot of things she want to interfere with regards to bb ... especially those superstitious things. I think u all can stay tuned to my venting in months to come.

Sianz ....
 
yen,
no wonder he is so unsympathetic towards you...think you shud talk to your HOD instead.

mashy,
my source of daily laughter come from my son too but this morning when my hb drove me to work we were listening to a CD of our pastor's preaching and he told a joke so funny. I think i can share with all the mummies here...

<font color="0000ff">The Joke:
This man who just went up heaven, saw two queues. The queue labeling "man domineer by wife" had alot of men queuing up, while the other queue labelled "man not domineer by wife" has just one man queuing up...

Then this man was so impressed he went up to that 1 man and said "oh man, how did you did it to not domineer by your wife?"

This man replied "I don't know man, my wife asked me to stand here"</font>

Hope you ladies find it funny as it definitely cheer me and my hb this morning
happy.gif
 
pegsfur, just vent it out and forget about it, if not, you fall into her trap, she just want you to be unhappy than you must be happy. Like my mil and unmarried bil always find ways to try to provoke me or make me upset or unhappy, I tell myself dun fall into their traps, the more they want me to be unhappy, the more I will show them I am happy.

Celine, haahaa.
 
celine

hahahaha. so funny.

pegsfur
If it's things that u don't agree with, then just stand firm lor. My ILs wanted to cut my boy's hair at 1mth, but i refused. They even secretly brought the shaver to the 1st mth celebration!

Yes, stay happy. Don't be frustrated by them. Since u chose this hb, you just have to bear with it unless he's willing to leave with u.
 
Hi Ladies, I am back... hope everyone have a gd day so far.......

Pris, gde tactic on ur MIL, i have my own strategic in dealing w mine too.. hahah....

Mashy, is there any significant of cutting the bb hair on the 1st mth??
 
I remember dh was so pissed off with MIL who brought Kai to the barber to cut his hair. The haircut was so ugly that dh told her off and asked her not to mess with Kai's hair again when Kai was like 1 year plus.

From my understanding, traditionally, the hair from the womb is considered 'dirty' &amp; babies cannot enter the temples. So last time pp will shave the bb's hair at 1st mth before they offer their prayers at the temple with the bb. Nowadays, it has become more like to cut it off so that the bb will grow more hair &amp; many has forgotten the origins of hair cutting in the beginning. To think that my ILs are Christians! Anyway, most Chinese from mainland/taiwan all don't cut their bb's hair anymore coz they say can cause infection to the bb's scalp if not done properly.

Anyway, my boy was born with a head full of hair and very nice type, like he just went to the stylist before he came out. Heheh.
 
pris

my ILs also like to bring my boy to cut his hair without asking us first. But anyway, to me after the 1st mth episode is still ok lah. Coz he doesn't like to cut his hair now and will scream the house down. So good luck to them! I usually cut his hair myself when he's bathing.
 
yen
haha luckily my hubby already completed RT before H1N1 crap. his had to go to maju camp too.

celine

mashy
