morning all!
tas, can help me update? my edd is 9 August, expecting a baby boy. thanks
pegsfur/irene, i also havent been sleeping well.. end up so dead tired when go to work in the morning. here pain there pain, then keep needing to pee..
btw, i find that if i take afternoon nap on weekends, my night sleep is even worse! anyone else also like that? was wondering if its cos i slept too much.. but only take max 1 hr nap leh.
babymaking, i tried GD on my girl when she was abt 7-8 mths old. after that got lazy cos i went back to work full time, hence cldnt keep up the recommended rate of flashing. ended up doing it only once a day. like smurfy said, think its not the brand/method of flashing that matters..consistency is much more impt. cos my FIL has been flashing her chinese word cards since she was abt 1yr old and doing it super regularly. now she's 2 and can recognise abt nearly 200 chinese words according to my FIL. english not so powerful cos mummy here is v v lazy
but she can recognise enough to read a few words here and there in her little books.
baby sleep routines - was deliberating between which to try out - gina ford or tracy hoggs? my #1 was not put on any sleep routine so quite green to this. my only worry abt gina ford is that she seems to advocate very early sleeping hrs?? do we have to follow it strictly for the routine to work?
regg, the booties v v sweet!! do u mind PMing me ur charges? how long will u take to get a pair done?
waxing - actually why will the nurses shave u during delivery? thot they only do so if going for c-section. the nurses didnt even ask to shave me during #1's delivery.
janice, during confinement, altho cannot bathe, i still wash below religiously with warm water each time i go to toilet. otw really v v gross, whether or not its been shaved.
pinkmama, once u hit wk 37, u are term already. born earlier than wk 37 = preterm. will prob start ML in aug.. work till end of july. but i think unlikely i will last until then cos i popped at 37+ wks with #1.
