princessxiaomei:

My MIL did mention that she will pass me her super big pot for boiling the herbs. So i assume it's like making "soup", put the herbs in and let it boil. After it cooled a little then we bath. I remember cannot add tap water to make it cooler.
I ask her in details then i post again. hee..
 


*gina*
I don't know if i am growing or not. But i know baby is growing. LOL. But i did gain about 5-6kg already. But lately i don't have much appetite to eat again. Past few weeks my appetite seemed to be slightly better. Then now again like not much appetite. Sometimes don't even feel hungry and don't feel like eating. But if i don't eat, i scare baby hungry. LOL!

*jess*
Woah. Like that a little tough for me leh. I thought can just pour the herbs into the pail with the hot water from the heater... mix together and bathe. Not like that ahr? -.-" But i think if boil like cooking herbal tea, then i think in the end we still have to add some water into the pail. I doubt one big pot is sufficient. Hahahahaa.

Excited right, tomorrow we will try to figure out who is who. 5 of us there. TOtal is 10 couples right?

*momocharz*
Your MIL's super big pot enough for you? LOL! i think the big pot i have is not big enough and i think i need a pail of water. Unless i have a pot as big as my pail. Hahahaha. I also don't know if i really know how to do all these. Cos i scare of HOT water. SO later on boil liao how to pour into the pail also another problem cos i am clumsy plus a little short.. then i'm afraid of scalding myself. Too xiaojie liao le... -.- hahahaa....
 
Wooh, I was busy today and only get to log on at nite and there's so much to read!

Milkyway,
I think our hubby can be gd friend, or rather they should never meet else sure gang up against us. I told my hubby no matter what we'll get the cot and stroller during this GSS. Dun wanna wait any more. When I told him abt the TAKA bb sale this Aug, he said then we'll get ALL small items then.. Faint.. but nevermind, at least if the big items r settled, I feel better.

Leg cramp
Been having cramps lately, so now I know it's due to air-con! This place is SOOO informative! Thanks!
 
Hehe gynae say i lucky lo, those modern mum, put on little weight and baby still growing. Have always been within 52-53kg range.

My colleague told me there are two types of preggie women. One that grows sideways, one is forward.. as in tummy la. She say my hips like got grow wider. I was like OMG. I dun wan to grow sideways!!

Think i will ask about the herbal bathe and confinement stuff maybe a month before i deliver. Too much info, cant remember! >.<
 
itsy
Hahaha I know what you mean! WIth the big items settled, really feel more at ease. But now the big items are settled, i feel kanchiong about the small things cos i scared i forget something!
 
Gina
AIyah, hips sure get bigger what! Must widen up so baby can come through the birth canal mah. After birth will shrink back a bit one lah, don't worry.

I'm up early today.. Woke up at ard 4.15am to pee.. Cannot get back to slp..
Hubby went to work n I'm having fried bee hoon now.. haha.. Ate half a pack liao.. Suddenly so full..
 
<u>Confinement Herbal Bath</u>...

One big pot should be enough cos we wont be using shampoo or shower gel. Only using the water from the herbal bath. Cannot even use hot water shower after that..

Someone mentioned soaking, but how to soak ourselves in it unless we got a bathtub at home? We''l have to cook a lot of herbal bath to be able to fill the bathtub too..

But Im really wondering lo... Lidat clean meh? Plus we'll be bleeding with Lochia and we need to stay clean if we're breast-feeding ma..
 
Shirley...

ya.. I also heard that if we take those milk for preggy mums, we'll put on more wt de.. Me taking the milk on and off.. I've put on like 7-8 kgs le..
 
Leg Cramps...

Last night i made sure i covered my legs well.. No leg cramps this morning..

With such hot weather, no aircon how to slp? cant imagine lo... I really peifu those having their confinement now.. Really hope it'll be cooler when its our turn.
 
Gina...

Ya.. they say got 2 types of growth in preg..
sideway ones they say its bb girl(like me).. forward ones they say its bb boy...
Quite true i tink.. haha
 
Shirley,

I went for lesson at Mt A yest, Doc said unless you started off under-weight pre pregnancy, else best not to take those milk for preggy mum, just need to take low-fat milk. The calcium content is the same between the 2 but lower in fat content for low fat milk. She mentioned that if we r putting on too much weight, we can even take skim/skinny milk.

hello mummies!

I just received a call from TMC asking me to sign up for afternoon lessons tomorrow either at TMC or AMK. Both not conducted by Mrs Wong
sad.gif
Are the lessons any good? Going for the lesson meaning i have to fork out near $200.

Anyone going for the afternoon lessons tmr at either place? Hubby cant make it as he has to work for PC show :\ sigh
 
dear ladies, finally got hooked up on internet. Just for a while as husband is at the hospital with me.

I am currently warded in KKH indefinitely for observation. Managed to survive one week after waterbag started leaking. We are praying for the best that baby will continue to stay in for as long as possible. Moving onto my 26th soon. Each day is a day of hope and grace. Had a scare on Fri monring cos I started bleeding and experiencing contractions. Was pushed to labour ward. Thankfully, after some medication, contractions stopped and my condition stablized. Am thankful to God who is sustaining us thus far.

Will update when I can again.
 
Hi Gina,

There are 2 class in the afternoon at AMK. 1230pm to 230pm is conducted by Mrs Wong. You may like to request for that class?

Her class are pretty informative and quite relaxing.

Next week there will be no class.
 
lilac: All the best! I am sure you both will be just fine!
happy.gif
JIA YOU!

nan: think the tmc office is closed already :\ the earliest i can call is tmr morning i guess. Forgot to request for her class when the person called T_T only asked who is the trainer. haiz stupid me -.-''
 
lilac
I am sorry to hear about the situation, but there is still hope! At least things have stabilised thus far. Best of luck on the remaining weeks for both you and bb to be safe and sound!
 
lilac,
thankfully your contractions have stopped. is your waterbag still leaking though? i guess what's left for you to do is to have faith, and then talk to your bb a lot to tell him/her to stay inside your tummy a tad longer. are you on jabs to strengthen the bb's lungs etc?
 
Hi Thanks ling and itsy.. . I just came back from AMK... My BB is 700 gram.

My weight is normal, so i think maybe i should cut down drink anmum milk ba.. Thaks...
 
I wanted to post, but no one talking so nothing to post lor!
lol.gif


I've been at home all day today due to some screw-ups. Feeling very bored and leg itchy. Everyday at home very sian already, weekend also at home. *sigh*
 
Took a peep at the Robinsons promo for the kids and doesn't seem exciting. Will be going shopping tmr at Robinsons tmr nonetheless. Will update if there's anything good.

With regards to Kiddypalace, haven't been able to keep track. Can someone update what is good to buy from them? Thanks!


lilac
All the best to you and your family!
 
Hi mummies to be, is it necessary to get a Sleeping Pillow (Prevent our newborn to overturn while sleeping, the one with two sided pillow)?
 
shelled: i haven pay. think i will skip the lessons. this month expenditure a bit too much liao.. esp. when i just paid for air tix.. haiz
 
babiesmeme
Not necessary. Newborns can't turn over anyway! It's usually more to prevent parents from turning onto the bb, and to make bb feel more secure like someone is hugging him.


Gina
Then just ask the other mommies who went to provide you with some info. I"m sure they'll be willing to share.

allio ladies... it a lazy sunday.. refused to wake up
Yesterday was so hectic for me...
morning massage! so sleepy afterwards but couldn't nap cos antenatal classes starts at 2pm in AMK.. rushed there.. but we were late a bit.. first time at AMK hub, can't find the place, then when we found it had to look for the back door to go in... haha but we weren't the last one to reach :p

Very informative class.. Mrs Wong talked abt placenta position, helpful postures, light exercise, correct way to sayang tummy and talk to bb and demos, diet (usual stuff from seminars).. lessons too short and fast even though it more than 2 hrs long..
Some of things i found interesting:
- Currently cannot walk too long, every half hr need 5 mins sit down break
- Aft 37 wks then can have long walks. =)
- Sayang tummy by "rubbing" upwards"
- "Communicating" by "cupping" and "butterfly" touch
- placenta positions etc
Sorry couldn't video.. hubby dun let me.. =( then when it was the exercise time, we had to do it together.. almost couldn't keep up.. can't see much even though sitting at the sides..
After classes rushed for food! still can't go home to nap cos need to have dinner with in-laws.. ended up reach home very late, with tummy was so tight and uncomfy and foul mood..

Anybody went Robinsons? wanted to go but hubby dun let me go before the dinner.. even though we were outside already.
 
Hi Lilac
Glad to hear u r alright now.. take care. Keeping u in prayer...

Hi flower4
Mrs Wong nv mention abt numbness and pain in the hand area.

Hi Gina
If you dun sign up for the lessons now.. after delivery, i know some hospital offer daily lessons on the babycare for free during your stay in-hospital..just need to chk with them on the timing
 
Jess,

Same things taught in our lessons. =)

How big was your class?

The class me and Huishan was in had like 30 over people due to people who missed their class the previous weeks! It was so cramped we could hardly fully stretch when Mrs Wong was teaching the stretching exercises. >.<
