re: placenta processing
it is said to be very good for the mummy to consume esp for 1st delivery.
there are several company who does it, one of which is MommyCozyhaven... ard $200 to get it done.
i tot of doing it, but hb was saying dunno if they will swop the placenta for some other powder.. and he was skeptical when i saw one company being able to process the placenta in a day.. coz this has to be wash, dried then ground into powder... normally shld take a few days mah
SL
mine also move the whole day.. sometimes i wake up coz he kick/punch too hard..

babyS, ur experience is so funny! but u can look at it another way.. u have actually managed to deliver a baby b4!
dr must show u placenta so u can see its taken out, and that it's in one whole pc. but of cos layman wont know how to see if the placenta is intact or has missing pieces or not la.
no pain during delivery of placenta.. just feel something coming out only. nothing compared to baby's head coming out
btw, are u a practising nurse now? how come need to go bank etc?
SL, my baby is still squirming nonstop. very unsettling leh.. usually not like this. wonder if he is trying to change position drastically!
piggytoh, i still believe walking helps lor.. so do more exercise! my poor friend went into labout abt 12 hrs b4 i did, and didnt pop till 9 hrs after i popped. damn cham.. epidural also needed to be topped up.

that company can process it in 1 day? I thought need few days kind one? and yeah i have same thoughts as ur husband, who knows if they put in other powder inside... chalk powder ala china milk scare.. ahah

Hi mummies,
Anybody want to share the purchase of Angel wipes? Prefer to meet in Queenstown/Redhill mrt.
I'm planning to spend $23. The balance for free delivery ($37) perhaps can be shared by few mummies here. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested.

Hi hi
Finally read through the threads. Today on MC after ytd's check up. Managed to gain only 0.1kg from last month. Quite proud of myself. Hope I can keep up with it. Previous month gain close to 2kg. Before that was over 2kg. Got scolding from doc twice. So glad this time round didn't gain much.
Doc said I'm abt 28 weeks 5days. Baby is abt 1.7kg. Healthy and normal. But I feel she's more active than no 1. Worried abt over hyper activity and doc says eat more salmon and cod fish + DHA. Supposedly not reduce hyper activity. So from now onwards I shall diligently eat more of these fish weekly.

Re: Confinement Food
Decided to cater one meal and cook my own for dinner. cos not having confinement lady. Dun want to tax my maid too much. Dunno how I'm going to cope with no 1 and a new baby man!
Re: Mattress for post-natal massage
No need to get a new mattress. Just put lots of thick towel on your mattress can already. But after that much wash all bedsheets as the oil smell is very strong.

For the cleaning part, tHe wound is all bandaged up (waterproof), so no need to do anything. When the gynae cut the threads 6weeks later, it's already healed.

These 3 days, my girl is so well-behaved.
Never ask me to carry her at all,
after I told her
"Mama's tummy is getting very big now, if I carry you, my tummy will feel painful, and if I feel painful then I can't play with you".
IT WORKS!
Now whenever I am sitting, I take the chance to put her on my lap then gives her a big big hug.

Did you get any books for her?
My daughter has a better understanding of 'babies" after I read these to her.
The titles: "New baby" & "Where do babies come from?'

Speaking of huge appetite, i had 2 plates of duck rice for lunch yesterday
. But then, the rice is very little for 1 plate mah, so i got another helping
baby s,
Ya, i had the same symptoms when my Owen was induced ... also had the urge to go toilet but nothing came out. I remembered the nurse told me, the bb is coming out soon. So u must monitor your situation leh.
Btw ladies, anyone experiencing your bb having hiccups in your tummy? I experienced dat yesterday!
