berrypie, if i remember correctly it's 1hr + 15mins or 30mins wrap. actually how many sessions should we do our massage huh?

twink,
yeah better read up more.. like insurance/investment products, nothing is 100% guaranteed. when i asked my gynae last time, he also cannot tell me whether should buy or not lor. just told us to do our own research and read up properly. the initial payment is quite siong... $800-$1k. for some of my friends, money is secondary to them and they just want the absolute best for their kids so they bought without 2nd thought. different schools of thoughts here.
janice,
no of sessions is up to you. i had 10 sessions that time and saw a marked improvement after completing the whole thing. massage is better for those who went thru natural labour and also mummies who have bad water retention, which really needs intensive (and good) massaging to get rid of the water.
berrypie,
your very cheap! hard to come by such good deals nowadays le. all are like $70++/session and must take package then got such good rate.

Shirley, how much is M&S's bubble bath? I used to buy from Body Shop, but I realised not much foam!! Though the one in Sephora is $18 (2 for $30!), the amount of foam generated is very worth it, so don't need to put that much in. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] So long term gains! 
Re: Massage
Have you all had it before? Painful?? I'm guessing I sure have super a lot of water retention...So sure very painful one!!

ent29,
I went to the M&S website http://www.marksandspencer.com.sg/beauty_florals.php and they called it foaming bath cream/essence for $10.90. The fragrance is floral type. Thinking the price should be ok to invest in this if I stay in a hotel for 4 days. Maybe I go there tomorrow to check it out.

janice,
to have prolonged effect of slimming, you have to be conscientious in doing your own binding everyday and apply ginger cream or other slimming creams. otherwise just relying on the 7-10 days massage won't see very much of a difference.
ent29,
it is quite painful. especially at the thigh area. very bad for initial few days. after that much better. think it was due to the water retention. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] that was why i lost 1kg just after 2 massage sessions + binding! amazed how much water the body can store lor...
twink,
i heard a lot of mommies went to the bugis area near where the temple is to buy. or even chinatown. for west side, i can recommend you a good TCM shop at jurong west. a lot of confinement nannies shop there for herbs. it's family-owned and the boss/ladyboss knows a lot about confinement herbs, do's and don'ts. my mom went there for most of my confinement supplies. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
re: herb for bathing
it's called 'da feng cao'. comes in small/medium/large tea bags. must boil in water and let it simmer for a while then either let it cool off or you add room temp water and some rice wine to it for washing hands, bathing etc... by right, strict confinement rules say cannot touch tap water. but how not to at this era and age?? just try as much as possible to bathe/wash up with the herbal water bah. smells like herbal tea. heh heh!!

how's everyone. i have been v busy lately so no time to come in to chat.
post-natal massage:
i havent booked one. can share your massage lady contact? my#1, i used TCM massage recommended by relative. not too sure abt jamu message. can share with me a post-natal jamu massage must come with what, as in the types of oil, services and how long.
i have a package w rustic nirvana back in 2007 till now i only used 3 sessions cos i dun like to go there (scared they sell me another package)... last week i went there for the 1st time since 2007 for pre-natal massage (i still have 30times balance @1hr each session), i havent even used half of my package they alrdy asked me to take up their home visit post-natal message at $988 for 5 sessions, each session 2 hrs including steam, wrap, massage and baby message. BEST part is they suggest me to take up 3x$988 package which will cost almost $3k. they always hard-sell to customers and no way to escape. luckily i deteremined enough said NO, i need to go back and think and check out your review in forum.

Hi mommies
I think im feeling much better. Tmw i wd go for detailed scan, find out the amnio test result and see if my amniotic fluid has improved better. Also to find out if bb is growing fine. Keeping fingers crossed. Now I dun really dare to lift heavy things or exert too much energy. I do hope that by tmw, i can get clearance to go out alone. If that is good, i can meet up with some friends on thursday to catch up on my pregnancy.Getting a little scared abt tmw. Last time i used to get excited to go for gynae review, these days too much uncertainty and im getting mixed feeling.
Massage
I have just confirmed a massage package of between 5 with an option to upgrade to 10 session for myself with this masseue called huiling/rebecca. I think package for 5 is $240, 10 for $450. I think 10 sessions is good. Wanna test out her skills and if i like it, wd upgrade. I used to use another chinese massage lady, maggie heng also from smf bp and rate reasonable but i think she no longer massages. I got huiling through smf bp. Anybody uses her service before? I wonder how good she is. In the event i cannot do post-natal massage, i can use it for health massage or transfer to my sis or mom etc hence i went ahead to book by putting a $30 deposit. Hope i can use for post-natal massage and not other [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Confinement wash
I think i wd go get the ready shampoo and body wash that you all recommend is good. Some ginger cream wash at smf to get ready for confinement once my pregnancy is ok or stabilised.
Baby Stuff
I also hope to go get clothes etc for bb if bb is ok. I so hope i can go out soon. NOw im just really nesting at my mom' place for the time being.
Renovation/ Moving
Hb is back to sg and now staying at our place without dd and myself. Movers wd be sending many boxes to flat this fri for hb to unpack. I hope flat has space and hb can quickly pack so i can return flat to rest. I still have some hiccups on renovation and hope all can be resolved soon before i move in again.
Hope tmw or next few days, i can bring good news to moms and friends. Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

how was lunch, mommies?? super bloated now with a permanent 'stitch' on my left side after having super shiok sesame chicken. hee!!
frenlop,
long time no 'see'! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] didn't know rustic nirvana is so expensive and so hard-sell... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] sometimes at that particular moment, it is indeed very easy to give in to their hard-sell. how are you going to finish the rest of the sessions? able to share with friends? if can share i don't mind 'buying' a couple sessions from you to try out! don't have to worry about saying no. just be very upfront with them beforehand that you are there to relax and not have someone pushing you to take up more packages.
simp,
focus on the best outcome okay? don't think about other things for now. hope you get very good results! we will be waiting for your updates. you are a very brave and strong mommy. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] jia you, babe!!

little bb,
thanks! i'm looking forward to 3rd tri in another few weeks' time. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] baby is very active everyday now. can't imagine how strong her kicks and jabs are gonna be when we enter into 3rd tri! can even see her moving under my shirt already. very nice feeling..
re: weight
don't need to compare, babe... actually if baby is healthy and gynae isn't concerned about your weight, you should be happy! gain too much weight will mean that you will be heavier later on in pregnancy and after you pop, gotta work extra hard to shed off the extra kilos.

Hi,
Just finished shopping for a short while, Coz need to prepare bb porridge when he comes back from school. Bought the foam bath at Marks & Spencer. Got the white peach with almond instead of the floral one in case my hubby wants too. It's cheaper than floral. Costs $8.90 for 500ml.
Btw, body shop having sale at the Dhoby Ghaut for some products. Oh yah... Almost forgot... Must buy huggies little swimmer diapers

Hi mummies,
Long time never update and chit chat here, but got time I will follow up the thread here and be silent reader.
Just done my details scan last week, everything is alright, and my 2nd one is baby gal. So happy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]~ As have boy and gal can close shop now.
But my gynae say my baby is 360+grams at 20wks consider baby small woh.. is it?
Herb for bathing :
Yes, I also using "Da Feng" leaf, personally i feel it is good, can clear the wind from our body. But someone may find it very sticky feel after the bath, gotta to bear during the confinement.
Rice wine :
Anybody know where can get the "Hong Chao" rice wine?

Hi Twink
I also gained about 6kg and im in my 21 weeks.. Doc asked me to cut down on carbo which errmm I didnt coz I NEED FOOD.. lol.. Coz I don't feel that Im eating a lot or even more than before my pregnancy so if im suppose to cut down my food intake now, it means going on a "diet".. LOL.. But doc advised me to cut down coz she says baby will be too big..
Wah, if we really can go to the salon to wash our hair every few days, I really don't mind.. I LOVE this idea.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Anyway now that our bumb is getting bigger, what do you all wear to work? Maternity clothes are expensive so I haven bot anything yet, just buy those bigger tops to match with leggings or keep wearing dresses.. What about you ladies? My colleague recommended me Marks n Spencers leggings.. Not too sure if it is good.. Or wonder if it is worth that extra few bucks coz those cheapo ($12) long leggings also seems fine.. SO not too sure if its worth to spend that extra..

evelyn,
i didn't notice any stickiness from using the da feng cao water. i felt 'cleaner' actually. must be a trick of my mind. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
twink,
can use the herbal water to wash hair too. the water is like tea, dark brown colour. but won't have residue so don't need to worry anything is going to stick to your scalp. wash face also okay. i still think better to go salon wash hair if you are allowed to lah. they'll do a better job for you also and you can relax, enjoy the aircon plus head massage. hee!!
re: rice wine
just pour a bit into the bath/washing water can le. no need to use 100% rice wine to bathe or wash face! expensive arh. after bathing or touching any cold tap water, just rub a bit of rice wine on hands, feet etc. supposed to help 'warm' your body.
shjean,
that's likely braxton hicks. it's normal.. i've been having that since 1st tri till now. about those herbal tea/soups, just gently remind ur mil to check with the shop she bought from if it's suitable for pregnancy. some old folks seriously think anything herbal is good.. like my mil.. if in doubt, don't drink it next time. but in general, most herbs are fine as long as you are not like eating in large quantities or having it every single day. some ppl say pregnant cannot eat any ginseng but i still drink ginseng chicken soup once in a blue moon and find that i function better the next day after nice big bowl of it.
rebeana,
i'm wearing maternity pants/shorts, maternity dresses, those large sized korean-style tops which are so in now, spaghetti strap tanks, tube tops etc. do you have to dress up formally at work?

Re: Bathing
Does it really mean that the less you bathe the better? And must use the da feng cao? Think I'm just gonna use the ginger gel (which reminds me, better go look for the BP online!
Starry: How much weight did you put on in your first pregnancy? Now it seems that you're putting on so little, despite your glorious bump! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Good lah, means the weight won't stay on you, more on the baby!
Rebeana, I bought normal clothes, basically those looser types, from Series (my frequented shop!) during GSS! Should buy now cos GSS ending soon. Hehe.

Does it really mean that the less you bathe the better? And must use the da feng cao? Think I'm just gonna use the ginger gel (which reminds me, better go look for the BP online!
Starry: How much weight did you put on in your first pregnancy?
Now it seems that you're putting on so little, despite your glorious bump! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Good lah, means the weight won't stay on you, more on the baby! Rebeana, I bought normal clothes, basically those looser types, from Series (my frequented shop!) during GSS! Should buy now cos GSS ending soon. Hehe.

Re: maternity clothes
me wearing all maternity clothings some bought from internet and maternity shops. they are ex! but hope can last me thruout my pregnancy(possibly keep for next pregnancy hee) and its the most comfortable i find. i dun fit well into most loose normal clothings cuz mostly not comfy at tummy or bust. i gave up lookin for such clothes at non-maternity shops cuz most times i cant find.
FYI fox has 50%(+10% if u get 3pc + 5% if using uob) discount now on basic maternity wear!they're really nice to wear. those jersey material. i bought 2 dress yday for less than $25 each. cheap ah..

i dun really like wearing leggings. abit hot for most materials. i tried spring maternity has really comfortable leggings that is soft at tummy area. but kinda ex. $49 i tink.

Those mummies using babyplus,need some advice from you gals.Do we really have to use the babyplus about the same time for every sessions?During weekdays i can use the babyplus around the same time but weekdays very difficult as im often nt at home and usually not back so early.When im back after catching midnight movies,i still played the babyplus when i reached home.Husband not happy about it as he said baby had slept and im disturbing him but i just dont wish to stop even for a lession.Sometimes cann different by 3-4hours.
Maternity wear:
Depend whether your company has any work attire, if not too formally, can look for those bigger/loosen size clothes, I do buy 2 pcs of top from OG, it is not maternity clothes, but the design is halter neck and bottom is long and has enough space for me to wear until full term.
Recently spring maternity has 50% disc on selected items, can consider too. I happily bought some after my detail scan, found baby gender of gal and look for more bright color clothes lo..
Will stop myself for buying anymore maternity clothes now..

berrrypie, have you thought of going for a 2nd opinion to confirm it? I am not sure why it cannot be detected during the previous screening?
You are such a brave one and I do hope it might be a "mistake" in the scan result.
I will be going to detail scan tomorrow also and my hubby is overseas. I am nervous also.
