Annie, I agree with u too. I salute mummies who breastfeed. For me it was partial right from start cos hubby feels is more important for me to rest well so end up I dun do night feeds at all. My sis in law feed for 2.5 yrs for each kid. Salute her, must b painful with teeth.
bb3>> wow.. 5 years never sleep well.. my hats off you! my girl started sleeping through ard 3 months plus and im still complaining that i dun have enuff sleep.. hahahahahha.. and i see those frens of mine hor, who are bf-ing, their kids are super duper sticky to them, to the effect of hugging the mummy's leg when the mummy is walking ard the house! but of coz, the mum is a SAHM, so the kid spends 24/7 with her..
and you are spot on abt the "grandmothers who are afraid bb will not be full when they are on BM". bingo! that is MY MUM! and which is why i was so stressed during my confinement, i broke down literally everyday and my milk supply just stopped coz i was too stressed.. everyday my mum would stare at me latch my girl, or express milk. and then she would say so little, or baby not full etc. everything la, to make me stop. aiya i dowan to think abt it le, i will just make myself upset again for having such an unsupportive mum. this time round im gg to get a CL and not have my mum do my confinement for me. im gg to do a REAL confinement.

Pinkie, yes yes, should get a CL! Paid help so u can call the shots. They usually more customer oriented these days. Own relative take care whether mum or mil also more challenging one cos still must give face and they feel they can say anything. Most important is hubby must b on our side.

then u better force yourself to rest! for my #1 i had some spotting and a scare. for some weird reason i always cough when i pregnant. so that time in the middle of the night, was coughing and when woke up to go toilet saw blood. quickly rushed down to KK A&E but the doc said bb ok.
GG
my #1 is also partial cos not enough supply. i was very lucky cos there was a group of mummies who really encouraged me and my boy din wan to latch so i had to pump every 3 hours. i wd even set the alarm at night to wake up every 3 hours! thankfully, from 5 months onwards he was ok to latch.
Pinkie
yes doing a good confinement is impt. my first CL not very good and i feel my health not good after that. my second CL was better and i ate better etc so can see a difference. though i survive with so little sleep everyday, i seldom fall sick! so must really make sure u do a good good confinement. first round i din follow the rules like dun bathe etc. second round my cl was very strict and i tot since it's my last bb, might as well do a proper confinement and i only bathed twice in 1 month!!!
i feel that parents change their mindset over time. for first bb, the grandparents were not so supportive of bf but after they see the benefits, i can feel that for 2nd bb they dun have so many negative comments.

hello mummies!
I went for follow up today and i saw baby.This time got HB liao, sonographer say everything good but baby in sac so i must have seen wrongly on my last checkup. so hubby haven meet baby yet cos it's V inbternal u/s.think he will be able to see bb on my next appt cos in mar.my bday eve!! u/s age shows 6.7 weeks so doc say
EDD is 16 Sept. Everyday I eat very littloeonly. onlyt 1 or 2 meals and cannot finish a usual one pax portion and i realise usually what i like to eat now i cannot accept now...but still haven figure out what bb likes...been losing temper almost everyday cos of maid, scared baby will be hot tempered also. my #1 is a happy baby cos i was a happy mommy when i was preggy with #1 altho no help but no problems also..haiz...
Samantha: I also want to do that, but i think maybe it's not the right time for her lor. she have other problems also so maybe it's good for her to resolve some first before having #2.bo pian lor...
bb3: doc knows but she din say anything.I was under some stress during trim one at work cos was ostracised. she keep giving me mc i even have bed rest but it's when i go back to work that it defeats the purpose cos all the faces is enough to make me stressed up in split second.I resign soon after so things got well liao luckily..but yes, 12kg is alot lor..but it seems like my pattern is lidat de. I dropped 3kg at tyoday's appt from my 1st visit 2 weeks ago...no surprise cos i dun feel like eating anything and when i eat abit i puke after eating.SIaNz....
MS have stricken but hope it dun get too bad.if take transport, worse.I puke after taking cab and bus...haiz...and still dizzy whole day.i feel so heaty...my tummy already showing but i agree seems like it's all air inside cos I keep getting colic pain and fart non stop or must let out the vomit sound den feel so much better.haiz..maybe shud take some rid wind like my girl.

For mummies with 2 kids, I will like to know how u plan for sleeping beds for 2 kids at the moment?
For 2nd time mummies, with a newborn and a toddler have u thought of how to plan for sleeping beds for 2?
Currently, my 14mth toddler is still using the bed cot and think by sept, the baby cot will be used by baby and am thinking if mummies buy a separate bed for the elder kid or sleep with them?

sometimes the pain can be due to muscle. cos our uterus expanding so someties will feel pain. but if it is persistent, do check with gynae
hunnymummy
yeah man me too. all wind inside. and the tummy looks so ugly and fat.....
wow your weight really fluctuate a lot!
annie
i haven decide on where #3 is sleeping but for my 2 kids, i slept with them in a separate room last. me and #1 slept on mattress and #2 slept in bb cot. but after a while i shifted her to mattress also cos she kept getting up! basically all sleep with me haha. then when i got fed up of sleeping in another room with them, i moved them back to my room. so #1 will sleep on mattress on floor and #2 will sleep with me on bed or on small mattress. it's always 1 on bed with me or 1 on mattress.
so now with #3, think i will make #1 and #2 sleep on their own beds and #3 likely to sleep with me on my bed or on mattress. but hb wants #3 to sleep in his/her own room and not with us.....
christine
maybe get more dresses? tat's the best way to hide and feel more comfy also wearing that.

Chris: my mil know lo coz I cannot stand her coming smell. Very strong cooking smell like un hawker centre n the foods she cooked us those high in salt n oily kinds.. Seeing it alrdy made me wanna puke. I always had to eat something before I go up to her place if not I will have to force myself to eat wat she cooked tat make myself felt worst.
Hi Annie,
my toddler of 2yrs already off the cot since 1yrs old. Right now we lay the queen size bed flat on floor and attach an adult a single bed next to it. I am using this sleep wrap from http://www.safetsleep.com/ so I am not afraid my boy will anyhow run off from the bed. This is really good investment as I can really sleep in peace!!!
I dun think I will use the cot anymore. Hmm... might be getting another sleep wrap and let infant sleep next to wall and me sleeping just next to her. Easier to BF also instead of getting out of bed and go to cot for her. Then toddler will sleep bw daddy and me or maybe on Daddy's side. They 2 sleep like logs at night. Yeah... Current plan is like tat.
I put the cot in the living room for day use.

Hi Samantha, I also thought of placing my current queen size mattress on the floor and maybe buy another mattress to lay it size by size. But I use aircon at nite and wonder if it get much cooler to sleep with mattress on the floor, u understand what I mean. I read somewhere before saying we should not sleep with mattress on floor and should have a bed frame to allow better flow of qi to our human body?
bb3, when u say you slept with the kids in the separate does this mean your hubby sleep in the other room alone?

Duphaston, not sure if all gynae practise the same. In my first pregnancy I wasn't prescribed with it but in my second pregnancy at first visit, I was given this.
