Thanks Alibaba.
My mum dun have much experience since she babysit twenty years ago. But she seem to look fine to me as she is getting tips from her friends who had became grandparents. I think she is fine with it. I was thinking to involve my husband more since it's our first time. I do hope he can contribute himself with baby =) I can imagine how your first time is as I am going to go thru soon. I hope to deliver soon and pass the 1 month confinement.

Thanks for the encouragement. I admit that I was quite upset this morning upon learning that my smaller twin didn't grow., but now I'm feeling okie already. I must think positive and know that God will right everything in the end and I'll just hv to hv faith!
Having a positive mindset is really impt. So, to those who r currently worrying abt painful epi or stitching etc, just remember that it'll be over soon and think abt it as they're all for our precious babies!

Scent: Jia you okies!! we are all here to support one another!! =)
Ktm, I believe yr last two posts are the only ones that r meaningful. This is wat we meant by support.
Scenty, maybe talk to the other twin more, encourage her to grow more. I believe in communicating more with our babies so they can feel our love and support for them. Jia you!

think it was wl and mdm yip who asked if brazilian waxing is more painful during pregnancy? tdy went for brazilian waxing before the epi c section on coming fri....the pain is bearable...don feel that the hormonal changes make the experience more painful when i compare to those sessions i had before pregnancy....i think the skills of the therapist matters too then pain can be minimised....
scent > don worry...ur smaller twin will do fine !

Jasmine,
It seems after giving birth, our body is cooling thus the confinement food is always heaty to balance it. But i am always heaty so I am going to eat just normal balanced diet. Maybe a cup of red dates tea a day and I will drink normal plain water.
Anyway, i never taken any tonics so far. Just balanced diet like angmoh so I guess I will stick to that.

Xuan,
Preferably get nursing bra when like 2-3wks before due date and get 1 cup size bigger. But i am not sure if the band size need to get bigger.
I got like 3 now and just buy if need more cos it's hard to guage the size and dunno will slim down alot or not.
I seemed to have balloon up for the last few days. I guess it's water retention.

hi have you all chose a name for baby? is anyone out there thinking of letting some fengshui master come up with a few names for baby?
I am thinking of doing that... reason for doing so is partly because of superstition and partly because i am not very good with chinese and also partly because i am not too sure of what name to begin with.

eeyore,
i will not be delivered by doc han how chuan afterall at kkh. he is good, very knowledgeable and very willing to share and talk to me. Does explain stuff and share findings with me but I freaked out when i found out about KKH's hospital costs... especially the neonatal icu charges for patients from the private suite! It is expensive.
So in the end i went back to SGH, under doc Yong Tze Tein, actually she is not too bad, caring but she won't offer to say much, got to ask.
Duckling shop, eeyore and ednique have you all delivered?

Thanks. You know I used to think that talking to bb is useless cos they won't get it, Until many mummies here advise to talk to my babies, I'm doing it now. At first I feel silly cos hubby will laugh when I did that...
Suika
Jiayou, God bless you with a smooth delivery!
Actually my dr did mention natural birth but maybe induce, bigger baby head already down very low he told me 2 weeks ago that she'll be the one that's coming out first, confirm!
Ann can't agree with you more. I've been praying for them to hit full term n it seems like they ARE going to reach full term soon., whether growing in size or not, at least small but not premature.

hi, some updates from me..
nothing really interesting.
anyway, i lost haitang's phone no. i dunno why leh. my phone sot sot or wat? so haitang pls sms me. arigato! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
my delivery story.. a bit sian to talk about.
admitted at 4.30pm, 19 july. then epi started 6pm. water bag burst at 8.30pm, and 11pm (sharp) bb is out, with vacuum.
why vacuum? cause dr kept thinking v v big the bb, so he scared, he cut me and give me abig wound. plus use vacuum, only during my 2nd push. then bb out liao.
alamak... i haven't used my energy to push yet. so no effort was done at my part. he used more energy than me.
baby was less than 3.1kg then, alamak. the estimation by machine was so wrong cause my bb has big tummy.
we were discharged on 21 july. bb jaundice level still not determined yet, cause too early.
day 5-6, bb high jaundice. PD said need to admit hospital. i got a scared. eventually i rent a lamp back home to shine on my boy instead of admit to hospital.
2 days later, jaun level dropped, so now monitoring. dr said need to go back and check again but then we dun feel like doing it again, see how. it is so wu liao to test and test again. they are worried of any rebound so I am not visually monitoring my ah boy's jaundice level. we try to sun him more.
nothing interesting right? i feel so sian.
I had serious engorgement, and i had to start pumping but it never seemed to be able to clear my breasts, plus not sure if bb getting enough by latching. he was sleepy, cannot latch well. cannot clear my breasts at all. it was so tough and my breast cmi le.
i pumped n pumped, still miserable amount.
as of today, i learned to clear the blocked ducts (cannot believe it, i am a 2nd time mummy and yet i dunno how to clear them), and now pumping (exclusively) because i have to give bottle to ensure bb drinks well. my latching will start again next week, when bb is better.
how is everyone? i oni know duckling popped liao, before the c-sec date. it was supposed to be today de.
i did not get to come in cause too busy. my CL is coming oni next week cause she has another assignment. now my mum is helping me instead.
wl, wah!! jia you!

QQ: my bb also cannot latch on well.... Sama sama... But I agree tt since he got jaundice, it's better tt u bottle feed him so can force him to drink more n clear his poo poo every day. Once all his black poo is out, his jaundice will go down.
I think u contact haitang via facebook... She checks her fb.
Wl: all the best!!!
Wonder if suika has given birth?
