rmbr that time i mentioned abt IPL.. apparently.. my fren's therapist (who mend a small shop on her own) was pregnant last yr..n she was doing IPL for her customers oso..
so..it's either.. pregnant still can go IPL.. or cos now the IPL 'shoot' into our body.. so can't do.
lala.. so means.. i still need to go ask experts of their views. haha.

Baby S: Yes, gradually shrank back while I gradually dropped breastfeeding over the last 2-3 months. My boobs also back to normal size. All the talk about boobs being bigger after pregnancy didnt work for me. Haha...
Oh ya, for IPL. better don't do. Although they say it is not proven that it will cause any harm, better dun risk it. A lot of beauty places that do this also advise dun do if pregnancy. Here's a link on what's safe during pregnancy:

RE: Moving office/hse
Aiyoh, what r u going to do if your office really going to move? Quit? Take leave? And moving office isn't a 1 day affair leh.....
I mean, move hse still can avoid, but shift office leh....
I feel u just need to avoid squatting, carrying heavy stuff and being in other pp's way. If you're just supervising, then should be ok lah.
As it says, it's just a myth. U must look behind a myth. Why is there such a saying? It's so that the preg ladies don't carry heavy stuff and shift heavy furniture. Then as the time goes by and the stories passed down, it just became distorted that preg ladies shouldn't even be ard during shifting.

They should pass down a myth too that preg ladies shouldn't be doing housework, or even do laundry!
They shouldn't be cooking, shouldn't lift a finger and should be treated like queen! Then the bb will be born like a prince or princess.

BTW, there's such a thing called self-fulfilling prophecy. Things happen the way u think it will because u made it that way. If u don't think so much about it, probably less harm will come your way.
Re: Superstitions
I've done a lot of 'forbidden' things during my #1 preg.
1) I sewed on the bed
2) I attended funerals, weddings, full mth etc
3) I was there when my hb assembled the bb cot during my 6th mth of preg. I didn't help much coz my hb didn't want me to carry the things for practical reasons.
My boy is now 3yrs old. He's a lovable, handsome kid and gets on my nerves like any 3yr old does and makes me realise that i can love someone that much and so much more than myself.

mashy,
you are lucky that forbidden things turn out ok for you.
I guess esp for our first one, we tend to be on the safe side, rather be safe than sorry.
*touch wood*..if anything were to happen, i guess we would be blaming ourselves ? If i had not done that, would this have happen..
well, in the end, it depend on what you are comfortable with and believe bah =))

Hi ladies
It all depending on one's belief and my family is not the pantang type. Imagining, we were renovating our new place when I was expecting ds #1, moving in a month before delivery and I went to the place daily to check, get the gas and phone fixed up on my own where dh was really busy. Then did all the packing really slowly since I would not carry too heavy stuff.
Like Mashy, I attended weddings, funerals and birthdays during my pregnancy and after ds 1st month, he went along for all these events. He is a very happy baby from young and is still the sunshine.
What my mummy always tell me, do not be supertitious, just be positive about everything, be contented and thank God for all circumstances.

well, saw gynae last night and got 5 things to avoid:
1) Dun carry heavy things (a bit tough with my #1 always wanting to bao bao...)
2) Try not to squat if possible coz it puts the whole body weight on the bb
3) Dun walk for too long a distance
4) No sex
5) New one from previous preg: Avoid coffee coz statistically, a recent study showed that m/c higher among coffee-drinkers.
Only saw sac yesterday, 10mm. Couldnt see heartbeat or bb, so going back in 1 wk. At least the size is pretty close to the projected one from my LMP, 5w5d (2 days less than 6w as projected).
I hope everything is going well inside

Since you're so pantang, then it's better for you not to attend at all. Coz if anything happens, u'll blame yourself right? Even if we say it's ok to attend, if anything happens, you'll still blame yourself for listening to us. So, just don't attend.
Dolcevita
That was my #1 too and it doesn't make me less anxious abt my own bb. I was as anxious as any new parent but i choose to look at facts rather than make-believe.
Tell u gals a story:
There was this family in an old village. Everyday, the mother will cut the 2 ends of the loaf of bread before putting into the oven to toast. The children grew up eating the bread without the 2 ends.
When her daughter got married and moved out of the house, she continued to follow her mother's tradition of cutting the ends of the bread before toasting it. One day, her youngest daughter asked her, "Mommy, why did you have to cut the 2 ends of the loaf of bread?". Her mother told her it's all tradition and she saw her grandma doing that since she was young.
So when grandma came to visit, the little gal asked her grandma the same question. Her grandma replied, "Oh, coz the oven was too small for the loaf."

understand lah. It's just like trying to convince my boy that monsters don't exist. But if he believes that it's there, all i can do is comfort him and play along with him.

poor gal. It'll get worse as your preg progresses somemore. Rest more. Get your hb to massage your back for you.

Yes, prune juice is very effective in clearing the system. Have been doing that all these while. So did my boy when he's constipated. Works like a charm.
