Mudpie

No choice eh... sians to go out eat sometimes. Somemore, my office canteen food actually sucks de lor.



Serene

Yeah lor... I remember during #1 confinement, I eat the food until I so sians. My CL made wanton noodle for me to eat during 3rd week. Hahaa... She is the modern type for food. But sad to say, she cannot do for my #2 confinement cos now got grand-daughter to look after liao. Haz.



Yeah, change a bit of menu will be better.



New baby got fried rice i think - ginger+egg fried rice. Heeheee.http://www.newbaby.com.sg/index_files/NewbabyConfinementFoodMenu.htm



Eh u stayed away from fixing of aircon cos of preggy right? One of my colleagues wanted me to tie the wires of her new computer (like make it neater so that all wires dun go here & there) when it comes maybe next week or so, dunno when. But she dunno I preggy. So I dunno if I can do for her anot? Can anot ah?

mudpie,



i bought some clothes from old navy online... ends up need to pay extra to have it alter "sigh"... you can go perfect mum, kiddy palace or tom & stef..



don't go & kpo the reno... packing is ok...

 
dolly, use Febrezz (not sure the spell), that one is good. that time my boi vomit, we use that. My friend bb vomit on me..haiz..luckily breastmilk, not so smelly.



Lunch: Swensen breaded chicken, vv oily, not nice.



Maternity clothes: can try spring maternity and perfect mum?



Confinement food: keke..my mum gog to do confinement for me!



Apple, yummy, i like korean instant mee!

 
dolly, hope your princess recovering soon. sick bb = tired mama!

my girl seems like catching cold + cough. she is at home with me..din put her to sch today coz i don want her to fall sick further.



I can't seems to take my power nap..argh..my neighbouring block is undergo major reno. Very noisy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] dare not on aircon coz it will affect my girl. She is taking her power nap now.



I tried Natal Essential previously. Their food quite good, serving very generous. I ordered 14days after my CL left coz I c-sec, din managed to "bu" for the 1st 2 weeks..a lot of stuffs cannot eat. That's y this round, I doubt I need CL. I'll just order confinement food and DIY..washing and boil bath water ask maid to do it.

 
I bought 2 working pants + 1 shorts from moderm maternity last weekends. Desperately need working pants coz my pants all tight except 2 to 3 pairs low waist pants/skirt..sigh limited choice.

As for blouse, I'm wearing babydoll top still. Find my maternity blouse still kinda big and bulky..haha and I have not announce to my colleagues except ppl fr my dept. So have to squeeze in normal blouse for another 2 or 3 more weeks

 
bubble pearl / apple..



thanks much... she has so much phlegm... don't know how to relieve her? doctor only gave her a nose drop (to dissolve mucus/phlegm), ventolin (cough) & paracetamol... but her cough & phlegm doesn't seems to get better "sigh"...



mummies, any remedy to help with the loosening the phlegm?

 
dolly, same here, my boi also have a lot of phlegm that time, and worse, he reject med violently. When force med, he will vomit everything out..did u try to change dr? sometimes the med just not suitable for her?



I feel like trying TMC when my boi stop coughing..and on and off a bit.



apple, i need get some bottoms liao..tops are still fitting. think i will announce when i am done with NT scan

Dolly, NT scan is cheaper than oscar, 70% accurate compare to the 85% accurate oscar

 
Dolly

U try buy Almond Syrup from Medicine Shop, said to lessen the phlegm. Later I go back home and check out the cough mixture I have at home, also from Chinese Med Hall de, got almond inside too. My boy used to have very bad cough wz THICK phlegm flu - caught from childcare centre when he 1st joined - 1st 1 year plus. I brought him to several times to PD, GP also no use. Then I decide to try Chinese Med and so far worked for him like miracles. I will take pix of the cough mixture and post in forum to show u. Then u can try find in Chinese Med Hall.



NT Scan is for scanning Down Syndrome possibility. Its better to take if u feel insecure.



Re: Maternity Clothes

During #1 - I got some from Tom & Stephanie. Not bad. I also went to the shop at a building before SI MA LU - That building sells alot of maternity clothes at cheap price though and looks not bad.

 
Dolly

Apple

Wow! 10wks & ur gynea can "ah ga" the gender of the bb?! u made me excited lei. coz my next visit to my gynea will be my week 10!

 
thanks mommies...

i tink i will try suntec soon...LOL..

tb tom & step i went yest like very limited choice wor...

mus get pants & bra 1st..hehe.my jeans can wear..cannot button..=="

 
Dolly, I'm about to suggest almonds. I go to hock hua buy "nan xin bei xin" aka "south almonds north almonds" haha..dunno how to type chinese. U buy 100g nan xin, 50g bei xin ask them to mixed both in 1 plastic then u portion into 3 at home boil with water and let your girl drink.

Normal day, also can use the almonds to boil winter melon soup or xi yang chai soup too!

My girl love the almonds soup, sometimes I just boil with 2 slices of lean pork then she just drink it after dinner.



It helps to strengthen the lungs and also prevent and cure cough. For initial try, u have to let her drink 3 days consecutive. Can boil with plain water or add a china pear to it. Don't add dates or ji bin coz got phlegm.

 
dolly,



dunno can let her drink bird nest since she is young.. after she recover fr cough..let her drink to "bu" lung...

 
RE: maternity wear



Mudpie

not advisable to wear normal bra... i used to do that previously... ends up got a terrible engorgment... have to get lactation consultaion to clear those block ducts... then advise me to get nursing bra...

it's good to invest a few pieces cos you will need to use now till maybe another one year due to breastfeeding...
