Wah, how come CL is not helping you during the night? btw, you dont latch on direct? or CL bottle feed just now?

jul
i think for the koi bubble tea, $1.90 is the smallest cup and i think it is smaller than normal sweet talk. their mid cup is same size as sweet talk de bah. haha yah thats the largest cup. i love milk tea! just got permission from hubby that i can buy one cup today! yay~

shizuka gal, chintz
depends on you for the sweetness bah. have to try and error de! but for me i think 75% is just nice. if 75% is still too sweet for you, can wait till the ice melt. today i am going to TMC to take strep b antibiotic, will go to TPY just for the bubble tea haha

cherrios
really hope you have a fast and smooth delivery!! few pushes baby will come out! ask your gynae to do episiotomy cos we are not like most ang moh woman so stretchy there. haha i still wake up at like 7am and then sleep at 3am leh...lol then today again woke up at 7am... only 4 hrs of sleep.

janice
when i first knew my hubby, he hate bubble tea. but since i always buy when we went on date, sometimes he also follow until he likes bubble tea le hahaha

yen
O_O what medicines do we need to eat during hospital stay? *faint*

pegsfur
aiyo, how come there are dogs playing at 3+? middle of the night right? since u woke up. glad that your cramps no more le. what about gastric?

irene
hahaha totally! i think when i see her in labour, i will also think i saw angel! but quite understandable why she come in an hr later lah. she is so busy de lor. if she needs to stay in the labour room for a long time, then all the preggie mtb who is seeing her in the day have to wait even longer!!!!
 


regg,

Re:Mustela
For PhysiObebe - From the bottle instruction, it says "For face and diaper area", "apply with a cotton pad". So I only plan to use this on Zachary for diaper area only cos heard that it can get rid of Mustela's diaper cream effectively or other hard to remove diaper cream.

For bathing - I plan to use their Dermo-cleansing gel and ask CL to put a few drops in the bathing water to bath Zachary. No need to rinse if only drop a few drops.

Anyway, I bought my pack of mustela products from Taka like 1-2 months ago. Not sure if still got the sales package or not but I got it for $69 and the original price for all those items inside worth $99.
 
RE:popped out belly button

my ger is so cute...
saying my belly button is "neh neh"...
i nearly faint...
i told her it's not and she keep saying it's "neh neh"...
happy.gif


(think mine really look like one already?)
 
babys, when ur edd? u better time your contractions! if things don't seem right better inform your gynea or go hospital le!

mich, not really eh...my area think only 1 subway outlet? hehee..its not as common as the other fast food like Mac...

reira, they very pro natural here wan eh...so far only heard of natural tear, don't think they practice epis...maybe will try askin tmr...which one heal faster actually?
 
cherrios
what the hell! thats so scary if they dont do episiotomy on you cos they are very pro natural!!! episiotomy will definately heal faster. you will be very xin ku if you got a bad tear leh... so hopefully you wont have bad tear even if gynae too slow to perform episiotomy on you!
 
cherrios, one of my good friends from spore gave birth in the US, and she said u have to be quite firm about what you want. They are way too pro-natural that she felt like she was suffering -- is no help though she had some trouble pushing and she almost fainted during the pushing process cos she was too tired. So if u need something, you really got to ask for it.
 
cherrios,
Wah .. all the yummy burgers so cheap down there ... here it cost so much de. I love BK whopper
happy.gif


mich
Ya lor .. initially wanted to go back after 4 mths ML, but wat the heck, it's NPL for me anyway. Might as well spend time with Ovann since it's also the festival month, being x'mas and new yrs' day in dec/jan
happy.gif


reira
Hahaha .. cos actually dogs are nocturnal animals oso? They are like wolves, hunt in pack and at nite. Our pet dogs are domesticated le and adapts to our environment, so they sleep when we sleep. LIke my dog lah, the last 3 days i've been sleeping the whole day and she followed me. Then she still can sleep when her bedtime comes at 10pm. I think she's a pig lah.

Oh, my last appt with ah wong, she went to deliver a bb just when it was my turn. The recept told me very fast de, abt 20mins she will return cos that's the 3rd child for her patient. I thot where got so fast de .... but sure enough, ah wong came back within 15mins!

Re: mustela pdts
I bought the no rinse cleansing fluid for face& diaper area as well as the relaxing bath with cleansing milk. According to the salegirl, for the relaxing bath, also no rinse. Like what reira mentioned, just add few drops into bath water. I bought from Mother works when they were having a 20% discount
 
reira, *cross fingers* tmr i will enquire...my gynea appt always chop chop wan, nv get to ask much...

mich, waaaaah!!! don't scare me eh!!! hw big was her baby? but my gynea did say he will give me epi so I won't feel the pain...

pegsfur, hehe..not very true la..other from the 99cents ones, think the meals n burgers all cost more than sg. subway is also more ex... for here, food is ex...
 
Reira: i think the nurse will ask u to eat some painkillers medicine or watsoever. Duuno can refuse to eat or not.

Pinkmama: I also wan to insist using my Pureen pads, rather than their old-fashioned pads. Can we do so? My frenz who delivered ...said that they will use the old-fashion pad and wear it on you, before u can protest. sharks...anyway to get around this??

mashy: did u breast-feed your bb at nite while at the hosp? or u leave it to the nurse to feed your bb with formulamilk?

Ever heard that the nurse at the nursery use spoon to feed new-born bb formulamilk. can anyone verify this? If they use spoon, it's good, isn't it? then bb will not reject our nipple..

Btw, i went hosp tour on Monday,saw in the nursery, under every baby basinet got a pack of Fitti new-born diapers. I tot they using Pampers..end up, is Fitti.
 
chintz,

Hahaa .. ya, joycelyn wong
happy.gif


Ya lor .. so fast rite? I thot at least an hour de .. den it dawn on me that actually the gynae won't be there during the whole process. They'll only be there when the bb is really going to come out and do the stitches.
 
Pegsfur/Reira, yah...I also kana once when I went for appt at Ah wong there and the recep ask me to wait for a while as she went to deliver a baby. She came back very fast. Think she just go and help with the last push then sew up and that's it!
 
pegsfur, haha! yeah last time my gynae (adrian tan fr ACJ) saw me in pain liao.. still can ask me to wait, go next door deliver another mummy..

then come back.. see see look look, said, "wait i go out for a while, saw my sec school friend!"

but when he came back, he was there for the last 4-5 rounds pushing. he joker la!
 
Chintz, hahaha...Dr Tan is so funny lor. He actually bump into his sec school friend at the delivery suite area?
But he does look like a very humorous doc. I can hear his laughter all the time when I am at ACJ.
 
irene, ya lor. he very jovial and friendly, that's what i like about him most
happy.gif
and won't pester u to go for extra tests etc etc.

btw irene, u gave birth liao ah?
i'm drowned in so many posts.. always can't catch up with this thread!
 
yen2008,
hmmm, thot we share this b4...
the brand of disposable diaper used by hospital will be depending on the sponsors ...
which hosp u went huh?

that time (2008) ESH provide pampers for my ger too...

celine low,
which diaper brand did ESH is using now?
 
mich
yeah i so agree with this! asian women's body is really different from caucasian women's body. a friend of mine who lives in Aus gave birth and the nurses finds it weird that how come she cant immediately walk down and walk but instead like gonna die after giving birth.

pegsfur
wah haha really fast! only 15 mins!? maybe it is because the delivery is done in TMC. i think ah wong delivers in MTA too. imagine if she need to travel there and back, doubt it will be 15mins le.

cherrios
write a list what you wanna ask and bring there! i wrote a list and hope i wont give birth before seeing ah wong next next mon *cross finger* just read the childbirth book by mrs wong and realised inside she got wrote "studies have shown that 80% of all these engagements go into labour two weeks later". hopefully i am one of those lucky 20% hahaha

yen
i must ask them sweet or not the medicine. if it is ku ku like panadol, 100% i will puke. got trauma of panadol... i think ok lah, just let them wear the old fashion pad lor. after that when u can change urself then change into disposable panties and ur own maternity pad. everyone who gave birth also wore that hehe

only read of nipple confusion when bottle feed. so i dont think baby will reject our nipple if spoon feed. i bought a pigeon spoon feeding bottle too and plan to ask CL to use that. i am scared zachary gets nipple confusion if bottle feed lah.

oh. so TMC using fitti this time?

chintz
hahahaha!!!! gynae sure knows how to make us kan chiong hor? so funny "wait i go out for a while, saw my sec school friend!". but i believe the gynae we chose will be professional enough and wont go out talk to sec sch friend until dont come back hahaha

i am not going there this coming monday. mine is 27 july. =)
 
Chintz, going to see ah wong later.

Reira, based on my 1st pregnancy, I really give birth 2 weeks after my boy is engaged.
And if its true this round, then I should deliver next week.
 
cloudme: ur daughter's description of ur protruding belly button got me laughing out loud!!! so farnie!! ah.... child innocence... heee..

cheerios: never time, cos its there all the time...... dull menstrual like pains... must time ah? i thought only time those more painful ones..
 
haio all.. can i ask arh.. when they say 'binder'... wat exactly is it arh? can get those waist/back band tingy frm pharmacy kind??
 
irene,
donno leh. written exactly that in the childbirth book. i hope i am the 20% can tahan till 1st aug. else by next week i will pop liao omgg...
__________

chintz, your gynea very funny lo! u gonna deliver le he stil can go find his sec sch fren...hehehhee...

LOL....better dun say too early...scarly later i go into labour...cannot cannot!!! just nw hubby called to tell me he going to another state the base which is like 2hrs drive away and he didn't bring hp! if i go into labour nw then he wun b ard!!
 
pegsfur

Haha back at work on Fri. Might as well come back on Mon? hee

babys

yeah he is one big jialat case. We used to be able to work from home - but he doesn't like it. he wants pple to be there so he can call them into his office wheneevre he feels like it. And he's too lazy to pick up phone to call or to use email.

At least u can work from home & she's just a clerk. Mine is boss leh
sad.gif


mashy

Hehe u nvr bathe ah? Keep saying u feel hot.
 
mashy

Haha re BF-ing..

Last nite I was checking if I have inverted nipples by using WBB's mtd of trying to push them in. HB was so amused.. Haha
 
reira/yen

have lah. My CL did help me at night. She brings the bb to me and change her diapers when she poos. I direct latch at night, so that's all she can do for now coz i don't intend to store too much EBM. Not trying to break records here mah. hehe.

I direct latch in the hospital at night too and no formula was given. On the first night, I asked the nurse to bring my bb in for breastfeeding. She come and tell me that it's at night and they only bring in when bb is crying. What the ***? Well, my neighbour just came in and the lights were on which kept me awake. So after a while, i fed up, can't sleep and called them again to just bring my bb over. After that, the other nurses have been very diligent to bring in my bb every abt 3-4hrs even thru the night.

Hehe, my 2nd neighbour really looked like she was going to die after 12hrs labour. She looked absolutely knocked out. So glad i opted for elective c-section after looking at her. haha.

Yah, now they use huggies S if your bb is above 3.2kg like that. And Fitti if bb is small. So cheapo. My neighbour's gal is 3.1, so got the Fitti NB size.

fat bobo
no need to buy, Your gynae will order for u.


Re: Old fashioned pads
I asked the nurse abt it and she said that if we have the urine cathetal, then have to use the old fashioned pad coz cannot use stick ons.
 
reira, nop nop, nv buy...dun look nice eh..hehehe..anyway i doubt i wil nurse outside ba, if needed got those family toilet can nurse there...
 
reira, pink

thks for sharing abt mustela products. one thing for sure, can't get hubby or MIl to go buy...all the products looks the same except for the words - even i get confused.
 
cheerios:eek:h man... that sucks man... tell baby now, dont come out yet! I also always tell baby now, labour starts only when daddy is around...

Jul:eek:h.. maybe he feels a sense of power when pple go to HIS office...

bobo: u cna ask ur dr if they sell the binder.. or u can go pharmacy and ask them if those binders are suitable for post c sec lor..
 
jul

talk abt that. already feel so damn hot, my ILs still come and say we should dress up more, if not 'zhao liang'. Gosh! It's already so bloody hot! They want me to be Arab woman?
 
cheerios:canno time leh... if i have to time then it would be from the time i woke up till now leh... its all over, not distincitive for me to realise it hurts more and start timing.. anyway now i KS, wearing watch on me all the time so i am ready to time at any time. haha
 
mashy, pris, celine low
