simp, jo, shirley,
i got married young so might as well have kids while i am young. my mum always urge me not to wait till too late to try for kids as chances of conceiving drops with age. last time before getting married nv really go and think so much abt conceiving and what. always thought should be easy. then later started to be more aware about all these fertility issues after marriage.
my girl was a honeymoon baby. we didn't plan to have her so soon and wanted to wait a year first but God had other plans for us. and then here we are with #2 on the way so quickly. a lot of people showed skepticism when i shared about my pregnancy so shortly after giving birth and that made me feel very sad initially. to them it's like, why so fast? you are still young, should enjoy. are you sure your body can take it? etc etc... shld be happy thing lor, yet they poured cold water on me. but anyway, over liao. these ppl can go eat dirt. hubby and i plus our family and close friends are very happy, which is most important!

jo,
i have started using the stretchmark oil, but not very regular since tummy skin still quite loose now. i use more ru yi oil! 'cos the bloating is still quite persistent at night. middle of the night always 'poot' out gas. haha!
re: nipple cream
used to use the lansinoh one. it's very thick and really protects the nipples. but i realized my girl's mouth always sticky after latching and quite hard to wipe off so stopped using and used bm instead. think nipple creams are only good when the nipples are very very sore. bm dries up quite fast and no more 'protection' especially when there's abrasion against our bras/shirts.
simp,
i was using the medela nipple wipes previously. like the cool feeling. but expensive.
