Pillow - air the piles? how? I was given 2 days mc for my piles le.. den 2nd and 3rd day grow bigger... and it hurts.. =( i cant sleep.. not exactly working.. cos i m in school.. and i feel bad missing class.. cos will miss out my discussions with my group mates..

 


will the nurses teach us how to breastfeed and express milk? i heard breastfeeding can b kinda painful if baby dun latch on properly...



1st time mummy so feel lost when comes to this



dun even noe how a breast pump works... =p

 
Morning all! Had my 1st prenatal yoga yesterday..hee. Just alot of stretching and some useful advice on how preggie mummies shd be taking care of themselves since our bone structure may tend to soften for birthing purpose.



Re: Paternity leave

Really hope the govt will seriously consider this.. 2 weeks is also gd enough! :p I feel the 1st few wks when bb is born shd be the most crucial time as the whole family starts to adjust to the new little member and its feeding hours..



Re: Bb insurance

Pardon my ignorance, but we can actually buy bb insurance now?? If so then i'll quickly contact my prud advisor now leh..since now still got time..ha.

Lynn> mind sharing with us the name of the ins policy? Thx!

audrey: I was on Norgesic, Cataflam and Lyrica. Can you imagine my horror when I found out I was preggie? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] I was diagnosed with a slipped disc between my no.5 & no.6 cervical vertebra (at the neck). Was out of work for a good 2 mths!



pinkynose: I having a little prince!



suying: My detailed scan at KKH was $128 (but that is private rate coz I was referred there by my gynae from Mt. A).



ying: Don't worry too much about the breastfeeding. You'll get the hang of it. And if you don't, there's always the breast pump [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Just to share, my first boy was an impatient drinker so he kept biting and yelling in the first week that he was born. It was so stressful for me coz I couldn't latch him either. Made the decision to pump the breast milk for him for 2 mths. I gave him a mixture of formula and breast milk coz the breast milk alone was not enough. In the third mth, he was on formula milk and I went back to work after that. He's turning 3 next month, stands at my belly button (I'm 1.65m), and is a healthy, active boy. So just some thoughts - if you can breast feed, then go ahead, but if you got problems, don't worry, it's ok [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] not the end of the world...

 
blue_skies> agreed w u...my cousin jus telling me ytd on the bf-ing part....her gal like to be latch n dun like to be on bottle...soo very tiring for her but yet, there will be bb dun like to be latch n wan to be on bottle...all these really hv to wait for bb to be born then decide fr there...we as mummies, hv to try to accomodiate to bb needs lol...no choice if hv to be very tiring....our own flesh...hv to sacrifies everything for them!!!

blue_skies - thanks for the advice =)

jgwee > Oh ok. Thanks.. Ya, this taiwan trip is my honeymoon. Married le.. Now then go honeymoon..



Few years back when I went to BKK, I only take cab whose driver willing to go by meter. Tuktuk is ok (when not preggy) but always kenna fleeced a lot..

crayon > No need envy, if I don't go taiwan, means totally no honeymoon for me at all after married.. Don't know need to wait till when.



pillow > How much are you charging for the rice wine? Might be interested to get it for myself.



feimei > Yay.. Great! Can see baby in 2 weeks time le..

 
Breastfeeding



Here are some few websites for good references..

http://www.breastfeeding.org.sg/home/index.php

http://www.drjacknewman.com/



There is a breastfeeding mothers support group in SG. They provide free hotline to advice any mummies who have problems in bf. They also organizes workshop for mums who wants to know more or learn about BF. In SG, there should be qualified lactation consultants to assist new mothers with BF. If u have problems BF during the hospital stay, seek advice from the lactation consultant. Alternatively, u can call BMSG for recommendations for LC. LC are the professionals who are well trained in BF.



One take away is that, if u have a good latch, u will not have nipple problems. If your nipples are sore n painful, that means the latch is not correct. Find a LC to seek for advice.

 
Liz, Ying> I went to the one by Colleen Simmonds where the class is held at her Tg Rhu condo's function room. She is also 1 of the yoga instructors at Mother&Child at Tanglin. (www.colleensimmonds.com)



I find her not bad..the pace is good and the class isnt too big (about 6-7). But may be easier to follow if you had done some beginner's yoga before cos i realise she dont exactly correct our postures, maybe becos it's prenatal so she encourages the fact that just do as much as you are comfortable.. And she gives advices along the way for things to take note of for preggy mummies [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] 1 of the ladies in yesterday's class is at 38 weeks! Man she's Huge! i really applaud her effort to even come for the class..hee



I rem 1 of the mummies here also goes for Colleen's class.. forgot who :p

hi all...for piles before preggy i used to do salt bath. soak yourself into a tub of warm water with salt everyday when taking shower...may help abit. but becareful since now preggers...difficult to stand up/ sit on the floor. usually i sleep overnight then piles became smaller....if walk or sit too much will make condition worse coz you're adding pressure to the piles. now i try to eat yogurt everyday before my meal so my stools are smooth the next day. it works for me...

 
hows lunch? i jus had mine. brought tom yam kuey tiao soup and end up tom yam soup v v hot and spicy. now can feel it is acting on my tummy.. hope my bb can withstand the spicyness cos regret eating it...

 
feimei, i just ate 1 mandarin orange.. bring down the spicyness abit.. nw drinking water.. super bloated!

 
px> so today can show ur tummy liao??? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
