hello mommies and daddy
How is everyone doing??ARrghhhhh!!the weather is terrible!!Don't mind the cool breezy weather but when it is wet...I HATE IT!!
destitonia
Oh,i assumed u are using dual pumps..u can mixed them together if the milk is sufficient for 1 feeding...i was worried if your milk stored in 1 btl will be more than the usual feeding volume then it will be wasted cos,once u thawed u can't refreeze/reuse![IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Xin
Can i just share something...
For a TBF...it is very common that u bleed a lil or rather have spotting!Nobodu can tell you when your menses gonna come back...you can and might be having your menses this month but you might have it maybe in the next month or so...
TBF causes all this stir in your body and you can blamed it on your hormones!
I had menses on the first 2months after delivery...Not spotting..is menses!and in between the days i have spotting!3rd month now...no news...??
Cramps
It could be your uterus is contracting back to it's normal size[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] or it could be real menses cramp...These are few thigns you will encounter when TBF!
I TBF JADE and menses came bk on the 9th month!SAMe thing i don't pump at all,but it doesn't mean that your menses won't come back but for some their menses just dont come back till they wean theur bb off ..ANd it is defintely not a contraceptive!While BFg i ovulate regularly too!ANd during Ovulation days,i had cramp too!
If you are worried,you might wanna go and check with your gynae when u due for your pap smear..

No problem!
My prev pregnancy bled for first 2 months n stopped... I dunno about this one .. The first month could be lochia but 2nd month I m sure is menses .. This month nothing ... So I guess it's gonna be like before ... It really depends on individual ...
U can always go bk to your gynae n check for assurance ..whenever there's bleeding n pain, u shouldn't take it lightly. Gynae us the best person to address your problem ..

Marrissa,
Pap smear is supposed to be done yearly. Not compulsory but good to check
Weight loss...
I m still carrying 13 kg (stuck after one month!!) people say my weight may be water retention. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Does it help if i engage massage lady now??
Somehow deep deep deep down i dont feel confident when going out esp i dont have many outfit now.
Was packing my wardrobe few days ago n start to feel insecure [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] really wanted to donate or throw away all my clothes.
Used to be size m/small l since i was teenager and l/xl after preg. Now cant even fit to my preg clothes!!! :''''( have to buy xl or xxl....
After giving birth i already know i wont be able to exercise so much like i used to. Anyway i am looking forward to exercise by doing housework n taking care of baby. And now i have this slipped disc thing. Must be careful n hubby alrdy told me just get part time maid to clean up. I wanna do also scared to sprained my bck again. E.g moping floor or clean bathroom. Coz must do fast when bby is sleeping. Haih ..
The physio teraphist whom i went to also said that i have so much more weight now while my body is not used to carrying so much n doing much things therefore i will get tired or sprained easily. i really regret did not work out much during third trimester.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] she said i must lose my weight first then i can be as active as before! She said thats why my knee hurts too when i tried to exercise after preg (before i sprained my back).
I really feel old now! And i am only 24! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Sorry for ranting about this here.. im really really sad..

Hi Ann
I am in the same boat as you... feel so fat .. i was 49kg and now about 58kg... So i feel very sianz to go out cos I look so fat. And CNY coming liao, I don't seem to like any dress cos I look fat in every one of them... sigh. I guess we just have to bear with this and try to eat less bah (no pineapple tarts!)

Ann> Jiayou. But it's still kinda OK for now to be fat. Just said we are still TBF, need more callories to make breastmilk. Hehehe..
I still have 5 more kg to go back to my wedding weight (my ideal weight).
The worst part is my ugly lower abdomen tummy with stretch mark all over. Sigh..
Maybe I will lose weight faster after I go back to office next week. Can't imagine already will be lack of sleep maybe 1 day I can sleep only from 12 to 6. My working hours supposed to start at 8 AM in the morning! And I plan to breastfeed Josie + pump before I go. Plus the fighting of her nursing strike, now she only latch like 10 minutes in the morning but to get her to latch is the trouble! Sometimes took me 0.5-1 hour just to get her latch. Some more there are times I'm not successful. huhuhu.. When I get back to work I must limit the time I try to get her latch, otherwise I can't do anything else.
If I rush to office it took me 20 minutes to reach from home. Lucky I stay in Admiralty, my office in Woodlands. hehe..
Btw, out of topic. My sister is having a giveaway contest in her jewellery online shop:

Ann: Same boat same boat. I still have 10 kg to go before pre-pregnancy, and additional 5 more kg to my pre-wedding weight. Try getting hold of pilates workout video. I found it easier to work out at home, own time own target, rather than joining gym/classes.
I did not survive the festivities too well, ATE TOO MUCH! and CNY is coming!!!
maybe we should form a weight lost support group ???

Ladies,
Thank u for your replies, sharings n encouragement...
Really appreciate it. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Cny n other special events...
I think it is one of the reasons im feelling kinda low! Not due to the food but i will appear so plump n have to think what i can wear for the special events... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Now everytime i want to go out i open wardrobe n stare inside... no more happy feeling dressing up. Boo hoo
Beauty seet,
I think i have water retention and fats too. Hahaha..
Caris,
I have pilates exercise cd too but i cant get the hang of the breathing techniques n i am not that flexible.. lol
Weight loss support group is a cool idea.
I have been googling what exercise we can do with babies. (If we r doing it when baby is waking up) There is baby yoga (any idea where to do this?) n also can jog with the stroller.
But dont think my stroller can handle it n also scared baby will get too much wind due to the running. What do u mummies think??

Ann: I also super inflexible. Even though I dun have mirror to see while doing it, I can imagine how awful I look doing those pilates moves. But dun care lar, at the end of the day, as long as I feel pain in my abs ... it's good .. hehehehe
I drink juice from the box, those not from concentrate kind (think it's call "florida natural") A lil on the expensive side, but it's convenient, and I dun have to go invest on a juicer.

Ann, caris.. Maybe u can try this. Ive been on apple green juice diet for 2 weeks now. Lost close to 2kg already. I dun exercise but green apple curbs yr appetite so i dun crave so much n thus my intake is much lesser now. 4 green apples + 3 celery. Celery detoxifies body. I use juice extractor every morning can get 1 mug. N it taste v nice n fresh! Try it!
Dear Mummies
Weight topic:
Full term : 68.5kg
After delivered: 63kg
Currently: 51kg
Pre-pregnancy: 46.5kg
During the first month after giving birth, I did the massage (5 days) and wrapping (one month). It helps alot on my tummy area. I control my diet very much, eat alot of vegetables and protein but almost no carbo... I used to run alot but after pregnant, i stop totally until now. Not much exercise even till now.
During the process of losing weight, require alot of determination ,esp the temptations of food around us.

Re:stretchmarks
They wun disappear jus lighten. I had some before I got pregnant due to rapid weight gain then loss. It took a few months & religiously applying moisturizer n cream to lighten to skin tone. These pregnancy ones seem tougher though coz they r a very dark colour. Quite scary n ugly.

Claudia, maybe instead of getting a cot mobile u can rent other things 1st eg playgym n try on baby. If baby like then can buy. Coz as they grow older n become more curious, these things wont satisfy em anymore. I rented a fisher n price swing n baby loves it! Shes so quiet sitting in there n even fell asleep.
Caris, ya try it!
Ann, ah uve been feeding yr hubby e same thing? Hehe then u shd drink too! I also lazy when it comes to washing e parts so i would make a lot at one time n keep in a jug in fridge
Stella, u lost so much weight! I was a 103 kg at full term
Now 86kg. But ure taller than me! Im only 167 cmMy pre pregnancy was 80kg so i can alredy fit into my pre preg clothes coz i was big to begin with!
Jac, i also had trouble fitting into my jeans initially. All my fats gathered at tummy n thighs. Then my ML massaged it away, now can wear already! But i was a size 18 la when i got preggy
Bf helps to lose a lot of weight only initially. I lost 14 kg within 5 wks giving birth but i tink mostly water. Then stalled for a month. I even tried dieting but realised my baby has prob sleeping at nite! So now even tho i eat less i still drink horlicks in evenings for sofea. Like dis can only lose weighg veeery slowly

I even tried dieting but realised my baby has prob sleeping at nite! So now even tho i eat less i still drink horlicks in evenings for sofea. Like dis can only lose weighg veeery slowly

Hiya ladies!
My weight have been stagnant ever since delivery
Full term: 73kg
After delivery: 64kg
Now: 62kg
Pre-preggie: 53kg
Target: back to pre-preggie weight!
That time my gynea told me weight will be stable after 2mths...that means weight will be harder to lose after 2mths?!!!
My diet all consists of carbs lor. Since I rarely cook so I eat wholemeal bread,digestive biscuits, buckwheat noodles all day long. Dinner is tabao. My water retention is bad as well. My appetite is good...hohoho. Cause need to eat to produce milk right?
Target:
-STOP lazing and shop online when BB is napping. DO housework instead.
-Cut down on Ice-cream and carbs
What exercise can I do at home? Not interested in pilates and yoga leh. Thought of hula-hooping as it helped me lose weight previously but now I dun dare to try. Scared will injure my back. Wanted to swim but no one to look after BB.
BF-ing did not help me to lose weight. Boo hoo...maybe because I express and didn't latch on?
Green apples is at the top of my grocery list! =p

hais.. Weather is so bad and I'm so weak that I've been sick on and off for the past one month.. Just when I thought I've recovered from flu.. I had slight fever again [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] took panadol extra and couldn't sleep the entire night!!!! (I think theres caffeine content)... Am so tired but can't sleep at all.. Frustrating.. Just like when pregnant.
Anyway just to share on the weight topic [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] pls don't kill me cos I'm very small sized to start with.
Full term weight: 52kg
After delivery: 45kg
Current weight: should be abt 43/44kg
Pre-pregnancy weight: 42kg
I also have those ugly looking skin at tummy.. Everyday I still apply stretchmark cream. Cfm don't dare wear bikini cos the black black line still slightly visible [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
I duno what exercise I can do cos looking after the baby is already super tiring and one form if exercise to me. Better still no time to eat properly.. That's why even more sick and lost weight..
Can't wait for my boy to "stablize" his moods and patterns so I can bring him out and not worry. Really getting bored at home and running outta ideas to entertain him!!! Sometimes I'm so tired but his eyes open so big! Lol

anyway my boy has been drinking 100ml for the longest time but everytime towards evening and midnight feed, he refused to finish and keep wanting to sleep. So hb and I was thinking maybe it's time to drop the midnight feed?? Usually if feed him at 12am then he will wake at abt 5plus... But now 12am he doesn't wanna drink much.. Wondering if it's cos weather too nice to sleep... Or he's ready to have lesser feeds? Now on average he still having abt 6-7 feeds but sometimes he doesn't finish the 100ml... Is he drinking enough??

Morning all!!!
Felt so good after 20 mins walk with lil darling n hubby. Mummies if u r not working i recommend doing this [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] really refreshing.
Nycmum,
I just started swimming few weeks back. So far i left my baby with mum coz my mum is still here. But next week she is going back home n me n hubby plan to take turns to swim/exercise n taking care of baby. We will bring baby along to the gym n wait outside by the pool [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
i tag along to his gym because public pool is really cramped n we dont stay in condo.
Hope this plan will work!!
All that u eat is good carbs leh. Maybe u add egg or cheese for source of protein n calcium?
Marrissa,
How much do you make one time? Will have some solid n water separation after certain time right? Then u shake again?
Also i dunno whethee hubby can let the fridge to be contaminated by celery smell. He really hates celery hahahaha.. therefore quite happy when i stop making funny juices.

[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Ok now questions regarding baby...
Ru yi oil,
Pd still say my boy's having too much gas. True he always farts n burps a lot! Even not after meal. Im confused?!?!? I eat normal home cooked food with little salt n no msg. Not spicy too. If i eat spicy food i do notice he poos a lot more. No cold drinks.
Then we applied ru yi oil staring few days back.
I see after applying each time, his poo poo is very yellow-almost like pastel color yellow n thick. Got connection with it???
Usually poopoo is like brownish yellow n watery..
