dingdong, if you wanna bathe during confinement and do not already have those herbal bathing kit, then can try their shampoo & body wash. I quite like the ginger smell but my hubby dun. hehe..
Maybe the nipple salve and Dry Confinement Powder can also try if you do not already have them. The last time I join the spree for littledreamer, quite a few mummies also ordered these.
But think those lotion to wash wound abit useless cos the hospital will give. I actually got quite a big bottle from the hospital the last time round, couldn't finish at all.

devlina, ya. so sad hor. 23 months only.
jocelyn, can eat pork. if not our govt would have stopped all pork sales le. dun worry k. i just ate last night too. as for face mask i have to ask my mum if she got extras. she bought alot to keep during the sars period becoz my dad is weak and is easily infected de.
stmama, izzit?! their pre-natal course is free? where you read it? share share.
and yeh, my mum's place is condo. but also means residents there can afford to travel more so risk may not be lower.
dingdong, maybe u ask her to go see doctor and take mc?

Ya.. very painful ar... especially the last half an hour... like want to die le.. Actually, had already decided to have epidural once admitted to hospital but unexpectedly my waterbag burst at 37 weeks. No contraction in the beginning so not pain and the nurse told me should be quite fast then I thought endure awhile and see. Then when the contraction began and started to become unbearable, I thought abit sayang to give up at that moment and dunoe if epidural will effect in time or not.. so in the end endured about 5 hrs. Guess considered fast le ba... but i tell you, this time I WILL DEFINITELY OPT TO TAKE THE EPIDURAL! haha...
Esther, I'll be using those herbs to bath. can easily get from fu hua.
5 hrs is considered fast lo. i am thinking of not taking epidural. both my hubby and colleagues were advising me not to 'act hero'.
Swanston, Devlina, dunno how to tell her leh...
i've been having headache and giddiness everyday. i thought 2nd tri should feel better? anyone having similar problems as me ah?

dingdong, din know Fu Hua got sell. Thanks for the info! My last confinement lady didn't recommend to use any, lucky I got the shampoo & body wash from littledreamers.
Maybe you can just mention casually to your colleague to see doctor and rest at home for her own good. Hope she get the hint, very tricky cos you also dun wan to appear too pushy.
Epidural - Do decide early. Heard of someone who took epidural after withstanding the pain for quite awhile. Baby came out right after so the epidural taken was kind of wasted.

hi mummies,
good afternoon!
hope everyone has a pretty good lunch by now. Long weekends coming!
Jolene,
its safe to eat pork here in SG
i just cooked pork rib soup too, and ate pork as well. the Swine flu is transmitted from human to human and it could relate to some ill pig probably. But so far, our supply of pork has been safe in SG
i usually brought mine from Coldstorage instead of market, so its air pork from Australia.
good afternoon!
Jolene,

I tot the news says that its not confirm that the swine flu is passed from pigs to human? So shld still eat pork or cannot eat? My bb hates fish and chicken, n I dun take beef nor mutton. Cannot eat pork means I gotta become vegetarian already. Not healthy for bb rite?
I stayed in TMC one bedder the last round in 07 to deliver my SB via ga c-sect, the price was like after CPF deduction still gotta top up ard 3k, duno if it has increase further now. But one bedder dun mean good service ....
I had a pretty bad experience there, mine was SB but the moronic staff called my room on the day and ask me if I have picked up my baby from the nursery, made me so upset when I was already having some depression!! N I discovered they even lost the pic of my boy or "forgotten" to take a pix, so I din even get to take a last look at him. That's my biggest regret in life.
This time round still gotta deliver there coz bo bian, better to go to a gynae that knows my history and will take extra care this time than to start all over again. Hope this experience will be better.
Gynae haben told me abt the pre-natal courses at TMC yet leh, is there any webby or place that I can find out more abt it?

hi ladies,
do stay calm on the pork thing, this is from World Health Org. web site:
Is it safe to eat pork and pork products?
Yes. Swine influenza has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly handled and prepared pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs. The swine influenza virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 160°F/70°C, corresponding to the general guidance for the preparation of pork and other meat.

I started wearing maternity clothes already coz got leftovers frm last time, my tummy seems to grow very fast leh ... when I go to the maternity shop, they asked me if I'm 5 mths already ... so sad!!!! I envy mummies with small tummies. Is there anyway to make it smaller?? I dun wan to look so fat!
I get most of my stuff from Perfect Mum, usually tube dress, tube tops and simple bottoms. The rest actually either I bought frm overseas previously or my colleagues help me buy back. Looks juz like our normal clothes except the front part abit longer to give allowance for our tummy. I mind looking auntie but I tink I'm starting to go tt direction liao. I feel like a ball =P

catechins,
i remembered when i used to work and need to travel on train, i feel exactly the same as you. I vomitted a few times on train and even got faint spells, because the lack of air circulation on NEL. That was history when i carried my 1st born. No one give up seat for me even i am having a very obvious tummy at 5-6mth.
huggies, don't feel upset and if really need a rest, do take MC to rest well. If the air con is blowing strong, wear extra cardigan or sweater. I remembered my lovely ex-collegue went to tape up the air con outlet which is blowing directly on top of me when i told them it was too cold for me.

Ayukie,
i think our tummy is smaller because we don't have much appeitie due to nauseas, we will pick up in 2nd tri, don't worry too much
its good to take MC to rest well...you should do it. For me i am glad i need not travel to work, but dealing with my elder daughter and things ard the house is equally draining....can't wait for weekends to come so i got xtra pair of hands at home!

jolene,
as long as u eating well, don't worry too much, eat balance meal. The weight gain will be lost after birth, if u plan to breastfeed, u will lost weight naturally. of course, we shouldn't diet if we breastfeeding.
i put a total of 9kg or so during my 1st pregnancy, on the lighter side, after birth, almost all gone because my baby is smaller. This time round, i actually hope to have a bigger baby as my daughter is kind of tiny at 2.54kg only....but its me who cannot stomach down alot of food during pregnancy.
