Elsie: Thanks!
Finally I'm on the list! Yay!
Dreamygal: So poor thing your bb! I think its important to feed bb with enough water. Lack of water is a major cause of infant constipation.
ww: Actually I look forward to Oscars because during the procedure I can see my bb for a long long time. Everytime with the gynae, before I can even make out head or feet of what I'm looking at on the ultrasound monitor, the scan is over! Also, Oscars is non invasive and it gives me a peace of mind over the health of my bb.
Shill: Don't worry, eat more during this period is normal. Just don't overdo it because we run the risk of getting highblood pressure and diabetes.
Angie: No, he was no motivation for me to lose wt after giving birth. I still fat fat wor from my last pregnancy. sigh..
Ipheh: I think under TCM all 'leng' drinks are bad for everyone whether pregnant or not, adults or kids because it weakens the general system. That's what a TCM practitioner told me last time. She actually took 1 look at me and knew I drank a lot of cold drinks and scolded me.
Afidah: Welcome. I think Astro covered the topic very well.
Xoxo: hi there! How are u doing?

Angie: Looks like its better for me to drink less cold drinks.
I also hv the feeling of vomitting but nothing comes out. Just feel nausea n having sore breasts. I hope the nausea feeling will go off soon cos it makes me lose my appetite.
Afidah: Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy too. I'm also in my 7th week but my EDD (28 Oct) is later than you & Astro.

Hi Mummies,
Dun need to rush to buy the breast pump yet. Source for one better in pricing. My boss bought her breast pump from US online and the cost is much cheaper compared in SGP.
If you prefer manual pump, Avent brand is good and I have tried and use it. My output is 120ml per breast in 45 mins. In term of cost wise, is abt $70, much cheaper compared with electrical one.
As for the electrical type, Medala Swing is not bad. But more expensive cost around $700, I think US is selling chaper. I have tried it before, but my output is not take good.
In conclusion, it really depend on your preference on the type of pumps that you want to buy. Note: There is the rental service as well, and check with your selected hospital. If you like it and want to breastfeed for long, then I think is worth to invest in one of them.

Breast pump:
I knew some mummies actually order online for Medala and ameda and is cheaper compare to retail here.
I am using Avent Isis iQ Duo Breast Pump (for my #1) and will use it for #2 too. it can be used as manual pump as well. To me, it is very easy to use but i m the only one who use this pump
out of all the mummuis i know.
most ppl i know are using Medala. one more thing, Medala bag is nicer and smaller. Avent's bag is too bulky.
Agree not to rush to buy now. do more reseach and find out what is suitable for you.
TMC also provide rental service for pump if not wrong. you can even try out first before you buy ($10, refund if u buy that pump.)
Hope the above helps.

Avent manual breast pump
I use this for my #1 however, i found that my hands was aching after probably 2wks later as u keep repeating the same actions 3 or 4 times a day until i can feel my hands or finger getting a bit numb. The pump is good but just find that manual pump is tiring if u are repeating it few times a day and u gonna do it for the next few mths. Decide to get a electric one instead for this round.
cold drinks
i find that cold drinks do provide some form of relief to me as it helps in preventing me to puke. i been drinkg the lemon tea packet drinks fm pokka. Know that is no gd and hopefully can stop by 2nd tri soon. having sweeth tooth ever since pregnant.

Astro : me showing early oreadi ! now look like 4 mths. surviving on day to day basis searching for clothes as wat one of the MTB mentioned b4. me used to be quite slim n tall but now look like giant as i gain 6kg oreadi
disadvantage of being tall is u look like giant once u put on weight
ong: *wee yu wee* slim and tall ah? model ah?
for me.. ha. never was a model.. but having said that ah.. tall also got advantage coz u dun look as fat as opp to being more vertically challenged with the same amount of weight put on. I have excess 10kg on me after Carbo.. my frens are quite shocked to hear my weight. they know i sure heavy. but NOT AS HEAVY .. ha..
I am starting this preg overweight.. worried about getestional diabetes, high blood pressure, more discomforts in third tri etc..haiz..
hey. how far are you in ur preg? so fast look like 4 mths?! ha. maybe my 10kg makes me look already preg.. so i dun think i look any different.
ww: Roxie and xoxo will plan a 2T (2nd trimester) to celebrate our MS leaving us forever! ha.. Roxie promised to bake good pastries for us for the party. I am quite thick skinned.. i 'invited myself' for the party.. heh

For medela pumps, its fits well with Pigeon bottles, NUK bottles. Not necessary have to buy back the medela bottle.
And yes, the teats of pigeons fits the medela, pigion and NUK bottle covers.

To calculate your EDD, you can make use of the Due Date calculator online.
Or to calculate manually, just take the date of the first day of your last normal menstrual period and add 7 days to it. After that add nine months, tat should be your Due date.
