hi ladies, my gynae is very liberal. just told me no raw meat and alcohol. so i've been eating practically everything, including sushi, cos I had a craving for it. I also find that I like cold and sweet drinks (when I'm not pregnant I prefer just plain water). Anyway with my bad morning sickness, many things put me off so if there's something I actually feel like eating, I'll eat it.

Bunnz: Oh yes! Try to moderate and not take too much kiwis. Kiwis are very high in oxalic acid, which is the most acidic of all food acids to the body. More for general health lah, oxalic acid is linked to kidney and other stones in the body…
Pink poppy: I also take lime juice! And chen pi plums etc…helps digestion for me. I’ve not been able to sleep well, will wake up every hr till I’m afraid to sleep coz of the wind in tummy causing lots of pain. Recently tried to take gassy drinks, since I started on it, it has helped me burp very well and I’m no longer gassy! But of course can only take a little coz of the sugar content…=p
Jennifer Chng: oh can use ru yi you? I used it twice and got scolded by my mum coz she said the oils may penetrate the skin and affect bb…but I agree! It works wonders and is very soothing!

but use on bb is also supposed to be indirectly when they're born, cannot rub on them with the oil. i dun dare to use, and try to eat more gingery food to get the wind out.
i also realise tat the more fruits u eat, the more gas in the stomach too. bloated [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

hi ladies, am thinking abt the after childbirth .like who is gg to help me to look after bb.
the following concerns keeps popping on my mind when im more awake.
- it seems that it's more economical to hv a domestic helper than to put bb in infant care.
but who can help me supervise the maid while am at work.
hub and i dun own a car hence to transport the maid to my mil is also diff. besides mil has her life to led too..
Finances is also a big concern ...
But i ll walk step by step n trust that things will fall in plc. any one has similar concerns?

here's something to share for flatulent foods
Food That Cause Flatulence
Foods that can cause flatulence (gas) in some people may not produce flatulence in others. It all depends on the amount and type of bacteria each person has in the large intestine. Gas producing foods may not need to be eliminated completely, unless you have problems of food intolerance (or food sensitivity), sometimes eating smaller amounts will help to reduce flatulence.
* Broccoli, brussels sprouts
* Asparagus, carrots
* Apricots, raisins
* Cauliflower, radishes
* Bananas, prunes
* Sauerkraut
* Pan fried or deep fried foods
* Rich cream sauces and gravies
* Eggplant
* Bran, nuts, popcorn
* Tuna
* Cabbage, celery, cucumbers
* Prune juice
* Kohlrabi, rutabaga, turnips
* Fizzy medicine
* Garlic, leeks and some seeds such as fennel, sunflower and poppy all produce a lot of gas in the colon.
* Sodas and other carbonated beverages
* Beer causes belching because it produces gas (carbon dioxide) in the stomach. It produces smelly hydrogen sulfide in some people
* Fatty meats, fatty foods can delay stomach emptying and cause bloating and discomfort, but not necessarily too much gas
* Legumes (very gassy) (all types) especially dried beans and peas, baked beans, soy beans, lima beans. Beans pass through the * small intestine and arrive in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur, also, beans contain more indigestible carbohydrates than most foods.
* Raffinose is a sugar found in mushrooms, beans and in smaller amounts in some vegetables and grains. The human body lacks the enzyme called alpha-galactosidase to digest this sugar, so it ends up in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur.
* Fructose is naturally present in onions (very gassy), artichokes, pears, and wheat. It is also used as a sweetener in some soft drinks and fruit drinks.
* Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk (very gassy), cheese (very gassy) and ice cream (very gassy), and processed foods, such as bread, cereal (somewhat gassy), and salad dressing.
* Sorbitol is a sugar (which humans can't break down) found naturally in fruits, including apples, pears, peaches, and prunes. It is also used as an artificial sweetener in many dietetic foods and sugar free candies and gums.
* Most starches, including potatoes, corn, noodles and wheat and wheat products including, pastries, bagels, pretzels.

I've been thinking of the following options too:-
1) Infantcare is a lot of $$
2) No one can supervise the maid too
3) My mum doesn't want to full time look after bb, and wanna share the care with mil, but mil stays in woodlands, and mum stays in tampines while I stay in sengkang. I'm going to need a car to be able to do transport. Having a headache on this too, and it's not possible for me to quit cuz we'll need the $$...

Daddysbao: what fruits do u eat normally? I only know I keep letting out gas. Neverattritube to fruits ..
Muffin: I m just thinking wheth to engage confinement lady. My mum suggested looking for part time.
I have started thinking also about after birth care. We do hv a domestic helper now but I want to be more involved . May cut down my working hours. Like u , also bit concerned financially. I m even thinking of reducing workin the 3rd trimester. Some more shifting house mid year.

Anyone did their own confinment?
My mil pushed it to my mum.. and i oso dun wan her to do for me.. i cannot stand her cooking.. lots of oil and salt...
my mum nagged alots and always kept calling me tis n dat.. i tink i will end up having depression with her ard and her health not very good.. somemore someone had to fetch her to and from..
i tot of a CL but HB doesn't like the idea of having someone extra in the hse and we doesn't have extra room for the CL to stay over..so HB suggested/asked me to do my own.. -_-"

House was decided n bgt just before we realized I was pregnant. Just as well cos No space for bb in current condition. Also well be staying w my parents but mum is working full time. Think she can take leave to help me out.
But still hv to renovate house n manage bb exp . Can be little intimidating.

Muffin- me also facing same problem.
1) if get maid, no one at home to supervise. I won't want to risk my baby's safety. N maid at home can cause inconvenience at home too.
2) if get maid, send them up to my mum's place. Not on our way to work. Must make a huge detour so not convenient too, plus my mum also never say she wants to take care for me.
3) send to infant care. There's subsidy but still quite a hefty sum every month.
4) if I quit, also not worth it.
So our final conclusion- send to infant care near our place or near my workplace.

I don intend to get a CL, cos don like some stranger in my house walking all over also hear alot of scary story abt CL.
I intend to order confinement catering only cos my MIL will be helping me to bath the baby and husband will do all the house work. And I will be breastfeeding so I don need a CL as baby will stick to me most of the time.
And I also think it too expensive to engage CL, not worth it.

Daddysbao: you are fast.
Will go check out day time confinement lady.
Simbaobao : yeah my gf told me the same thing about the renovation, cant be ard when they shift from the old house and not be in the new house when they reach. my mum 'll be doin most of the work with the domestic helper.
Hb also blur blur one.
Today he went overseas..usually i pack his luggage for him.This time, he says he'll pack himself .Last night, he happily put all his things on the bed and ask me how to start ?!
But i think u need at least one person to help you out. Cos my mum was saying cant bend up and down after birth esp when bathing bb..cant touch cold water plus need to boil water in special way etc
had fish fillet and fries for din. now regretting the fries :S

we have also been trying for more than a while.. but preferred to leave it up to Him.
But funnily,the bb was still so unexpected for us.(in a good way of course [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] )

think better to book at least half year ahead to get the one you want. I'm sure the good ones will be booked early.
I'm planning to book by perhaps end mar or beg apr. but not sure a day one or full time one yet..or perhaps just to cook? my mum is not confident of bathing the bb. dont want to tire her also.
Mainly take care of baby and mummy's needs
Some better ones will do housework and cook for husband's meals also
That's what i read online.
