oh dear, clover, i juz bought a brand new set of mustela for #2 leh... hope it's fine...
Bam, happy working today! Lotsa rest from tmr onwards!!
When water bag break, u still got ~1day to prep yaself to the hospital (as per my last atenatal notes).
For muscus plug, can go to the gynea but observe for more signs, like contractions/water bag burst/leak.
i heard, not everyone got "bloody show" de ..likewise not everyone will hv waterbag burst, up to individual..
for my case, i got "show" nia n of coz contractions la..
the contractions is unlike normal menses cramps de, it's like >100X the pain.

irene and other BF mummies,
all mummies jiayou ok!
just to share, i had bad cracked nipples and bleeding whilst BF my #1, and that affected my supply cuz bb couldn's really latch on properly (n i was in a lot of pain!)...also discovered from my LC that my nipples are very sensitive, so i was told to massage the nipple area by rolling my nipples in btwn my fingers to "harden" it...it made it less painful to BF then as well.
irene, are u using a nipple cream like lanolin? that really helps w the healing! apply and let it air dry (just walk around topless whilst its drying), and let bb latch on as much as possible, cuz that's actually better to increase supply compared to using the pump, even if ur girl isn't drinking her suckling will send a signal to ur brain to increase production..or u can pump on one side whilst latching on the other side (telling ur brain that u need to up the supply cuz got twins!), this is a bit troublemsome but it worked for me after a lot of persistence. BF via latching on isn't easy for everyone, n they don't tell u that! u n bb both have to learn how to BF..do go to see a LC to make sure ur latching well? try not to stress yourself too much with pumping, like Jo said, bb's tummies r very small at this stage..just try to enjoy the BF experience of learning to latch on well ok? do try the papaya fish soup too, that helped for me as well..
bluesoda,
oh dear! hope ur feeling better now..can take some porridge water?
hammiebao,
i'm planning to use cetaphil for my bb..#1 had bad dry skin, and cradle cap so was rec that by dermatologist. Its bout $30 for one litre at any pharmacy, but no nice bb smell shampoo smell lar
mummywong,
congrats on bb's arrival!

hi nov mummies[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Black Bean:
Yes it will help to boost up BM n taste nice to drink, this soup is very soothing to drink n it doesnt taste too strong like other herbal soup,drink more black bean soup if u may feel heaty or sore throat if occurs during confinement. This soup n green papaya fish soup boost up alot of my BM when I gave birth to my gal last yr[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

enmummy: Yes... let's keep talking to BB so BB will arrive naturally...
Jo: Ya...my prenatal class also says wine dishes are fine thanks alot! My mum is getting some 2 big bottles of rice wine for me...
Bluesoda: Rest well and recover soon! BB as cherrios & Ange mentioend, BB has enough reserves in our bodies still. Don't worry!
PTB: Previously we have discussed 当归 is not good for BF leh... and my mum is not getting this for me too. Read in other threads to best avoid it in early confinement since it's quite heaty... do check... here's what I gathered:
"Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Dong quai should not be used during pregnancy because it may cause the uterus to contract and raise the risk of miscarriage. Nursing mothers should avoid dong quai because information on its safety is lacking."

thanks tenderhearted. these herbal are from a friend who just gave birth 2 months ago and too late..she finished her confinement already .... these are herbal her CL told her to get...now i know what happened and why liao ...btw it is quite risky right diff CL tell diff things...how are we to know what is good and what is not good ...i think to do intense research liao...else will kena con by CL..thanks for the link
Hi mummies,
How to know if CL knows how to cook or not? I very scare CL anyhow buy expensive stuff for me, or stuff that I dun eat at all, cos I quite picky on food. Fish and Ginger, pork, im fine...i know during confinement requires to take alot of red dates drinks. I also dun know how much to buy??
Can anyone advise me?

PTB: ya... cannot blurblur take CL at their words... since me FTM too, so I try to read more and also check with mummies in forum to double-confirm... we have each other [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
tenderhearted ...yes...we all should help each other...dun get conned by those CL esp when we are FTM hehe...
btw i heard from my mom... during confinement it is ideal that we eat certain part of the pig.. and each pig only has 2 piece of that !! so need to chop aka booked with butcher... but i still dunno which part of the pig she tokg about...do you guys know haha
michele yah i also scare either the CL anyhow buy expensive stuff or things that shouldnt buy like what my friend's CL did...haiz...btw red dates when u got those medical shop it is one big pack...think can drink for long time haha

ptb: i think ur mum is toking abt the vinegar with pig's trotters. Famous dish with lots of vinegar and ginger.But i personally dun like the dish, as its too sour for me and too much ginger. But if need to eat then no choice also.
CL: Gals if you scared u kena conned by CL, why nt ask your mothers or MIL to come by and then tell the CL to tell them to get it for you. Cos they see elders, they somehow will dare not anyhow ask to buy things. I most likely will get my MIL to come by and negotiate abt the daily fresh food and herbs stuff with the CL.
For me also, the CL agency provides the herbs as well so i now dun buy first, later nt enuf then buy. My house downstairs is very near the wet market and provision shops with lots of medical shops so i dun worry at all.

Thanks for the reply on baby body wash, guess I will get the GAIA since 26 it's organic and not really exp like CB..
OrangeBB,
Ya lor.. Like so so leh.. I email OJM and wait for their reply lor.. More expensive abit but I read quite alot of good review about their company.. Anyway I also read good review even from those mummies who did not request for certain ML..
Congrats to all mummies who had popped!! And jiayou to us who are waiting to pop.. Haha.. Let's enjoy our little "freedom" before confinement starts..
Babywonder, good that ur girl is going home soon!! Jaundice is very common, so no worries! Pigeon warmer quite easy to find, I think all departmental store and kiddy palace has it..
Michelle,
Just buy 1 pack for everything first then after the CL arrived and then get ur hubby or mum to go buy with her, then they can control the price.. U can buy those at reputable medicine hall so u don't need to worry to much about quality.. But will be alittle more exp than market lah.. Then u can know the price also..

PTB,
I believe your mum is talking about "yo bak" ... i think it is the meat near the kidney. That part is the softest and yet leanest of the pig.
babywonder,
it is definitely comforting and happy to hear that your lil gal is doing well [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Babywonder: Great to hear your BB gal coming home soon! Rest well and smile [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] She'll be in your arms soon! Ya like what Diana & Hammiebao say, Pigeon Food Warmer can be found at bigger NTUC Fairprice, KiddyPalace and Giant too.
Hammiebao: Ya.. Gaia is also organic [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] True we muz enjoy & rest to the max before popping!

Michele: Hock Hua Tonic is having some anniversary promotional sales till 29 Oct so can go see see : http://www.hockhuatonic.com/english/special/tonic-promotions.html
janiviy: You took a lot of dong gui when preggy ah?
PTB: Go call your TCM Gynae if she doesn't charge on consultation Think TCM will advise according to individual body type and let you know? So maybe some can take dong gui? But I will steer clear for the first 2 weeks in confinement lo since that is when I need BM supply to come in...

Ptb: I suggest you leave gao li Shen and dang gui out. Both has to be carefully used. One Chinese physician told me the former is a no no pre or post birth but I forgot the reason while my mum told me the latter will cause hormonal irregularities when not consumed properly. For your discretion.

mummies who are intending to bf
its still not too late to use nipple cream to "condition" your nipples b4 you pop...my doc advise me to do that two weeks ago when he talked about breastfeeding...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
bluesoda: glad that you are feeling better...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] pls take care and rest well....i understand how it feels like not being able to take painkillers cos' i am also allergic to them and when i get fever...my gp also shake head and say there is nothing i can take except to sponge myself to make the fever subside...
baby wash
i got sebamed which is of neutral pH...smells quite nice [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] ...will pump just a little bit into water bath...newborn's skin dunneed too soapy cos' still very delicate...

Jo, thanks!! WBB said that too..
Baby wash,
WBB class said get non rinse one better.. now I thinking to get GAIA or CB.. I saw GAIA 500ml about 26+ and CB 17.5oz $28+... the price quite reasonable as Avent and mustela also not cheap and smaller bottle..
Bam,
those 2 are different companies.. jamumassage owned by a malay lady, originsjamumassage owned by a chinese lady.. both also not bad I think, but I see OJM got hot stone massage and the recent promotion quite good.. 718 for 10days with free 4 packs of Goo.n diapers.. quite worth it bah..

ok mummies, i'm just highlighting what i happen to know about chemicals in baby bath products. i'm no expert in dermatology. this is quite a tricky subject, so i suggest mummies who are concerned to do some googling and read up.
some of the harmful chemicals, e.g. Phthalates (in fragrances), 1,4-dioxane or formaldehyde, or both (probable carcinogens), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (skin irritation)
From this article
http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/infectious-diseases/articles/2009/03/12/childrens-bath-products-contain-contaminants.html
"Both formaldehyde and dioxane are considered "contaminants," Malkan said.
A contaminant "is a chemical that is not intentionally added to the product but is a byproduct," she said. "Those are all exempt from labeling laws ... Companies don't even have to know themselves."
Also, a report of just a small tested list of bath products available in US
http://safecosmetics.org/article.php?id=426
J&J and Mustela were tested.
i have used j&j on my boy before and found it very drying on his skin. the squeaky clean effect is not good for a baby's skin. if a bath product was designed to clean off dirt or even oil, hence to me, it will cause more harm to leave on a baby's delicate skin.
