Chiny ok let u know roughly 3pm is there ba,.... going out now....
 
daisy - i did my confinement at my mum's place becos she insisted CL is a waste of $$; can use the money to 'bu' instead. That was a big mistake cos she forbid me to wash hair and nag cannot do this and that; it's all for your own good etc. That drove me up the wall and plus hormone change, i just fell into depression. Was a bad episode that I would never forget. So this time round, I am getting a CL.
 
dym - cham i didnt see it leh .. i'm blind liao haha !!

kelly - oh i see , but tot own mom would be more chin chai , my mom damn chin chai on me , she say if i wanna wash my hair den next time wen i have backaches or wat dont complain to her abt pain

if ur getting CL gonna act fast le , cos CL are so fully booked alrdy ..
 
daisy - it's reverse here. guess my mom has good intentions but didn't realise the -ve effects it had on me. managed to secure one CL after two highly recommended ones were already booked till May.
 
I told my mum who is doing confinement for me tat I want to bath as I sweat a lot normally n the hygiene will not be gd if I dun bath or wash hair, she said can bath but the water tat we shower must be boil n must put in dried pomelo skin n herbs.. so since mooncake festival coming, I will ask everyone I know to keep the pomelo skin for me... I also told my mum tat i will slpt at nite with aircorn on as too hot to slpt at nite as since young I m always slping with air corn on...

Need some advice here. Was thinking of investing in the electric pump but wasn't sure will it be a waste of $$. I wasn't successful in bf the last time; tried manual pump also no use. Anyone has used the electric one before?
 
huijun - i did what my mama said - bath with boiled water + herbs and no fan on during day. i still find her v naggy and quarrel with her. lucky she sleeps damn early. so after she sleep, i will go bath again b4 i sleep. for the whole entire confinement, i tied my hair when sleeping(even thou i wash but not everyday). cant stand it. my mama in the end oso give up on me. LOL.. this time round im not going back her house for confinement, so i guess i will be more at ease. LOL..
 
dym - saw it HAHA !! cham , cant see well sia lol

Kelly - oh , my mom is chin chai cos she know i very stubborn de but the other relatives in family dont allow me bath also , once i accidently got caught by one of my uncle's wife who came over to cook for me and i was nagged by her whole day and she complain to other uncle's wife and to my mom also =x was nagged by other uncle's wife too and mom warn me to be more careful next time LOL !

but now its good tat u got CL alrdy .. fast hand fast leg ! lol

Linda - if ur mom ok den its good .. but hor the herbal still smell weird de haha , i stop after a few times cos i dont like the herbal smell on my hair !
 
Kelly - if u have gfs who got eletric pump and they not using alrdy , maybe u can lend fm them before u buy it cos sometimes bf-ing is not successful and it will be a waste of buying and later on not using ..

other way is u buy le and if it still not successful and u can sell it away but at a loss ..
 
the last time i did borrow the electric pump but it seemed to be faulty or maybe i wasn't using it correctly. i still have some months to decide...
 
dym, u work from hm or r u the boss urslf? :p how to survive if can't on fan even after bath will still sweat like hell lor... i on the fan everyday for 24/7. daisy, if dun use herbal what u use for bathing? I dislike it too! kelly, personally find electri pump is better.
 
Dym n Daisy: so far tat wad wat I told my mum dunno if she will change her mind last min anot... Keke... But I got no where to stay as my own house will be ready next yr end... Hopefully my mum will not start nagging at me when she do my confinement...
 
chinbbs - haha i just bath fm the shower head lor haha cos i totally hated the smell ..

Linda - usually own moms would be more chin chai , just 'sa jiao' abit and they will give in liao lor haha !! lucky my mom didnt nag during confinement , cos she very naggy at other times de .. maybe she worry i got post natal despression , so she say u do wat u like but dont regret next time and don say i didnt warn u ..

come to say , i feel my hubby is worse den my mom , he tend to be a more fussy person for my confinement .. i had 2 mini confinement done by hubby for miscarriage , worse den hell !!
 
Welcome Kelly!

I used a Medela electric pump previously and I find it good. Tried pigeon manual pump before, don't know how to use it. hehe.

chiny,
not you "messed" up. Someone sorted according to the hospitals and it was "messed up" before you were here, I think.

Daisy, Michelle,
I like KKH food leh. Maybe I tiam jiak, haha! I like the food when I delivered and also when my gal was hospitalised due to hfmd, I finished her meals there. :p
 
<font color="000080">Had porridge for lunch... ridiculously happy about it. Crazy cravings.

My sis initially said want to give me her pump, but now she also expecting dunno how. Other than pump what else do I need to buy? Storage chilled bag? Things to sterilise the bottles?</font>
 
hello mummies,

finally back from lunch after a super busy morning... i still can't decide if i want a CL anot... Cos i have too many choices -

1. Stay at my parent's place where my mum can be my full-time CL but the house is going to be very crowded. (6 adults + 1 infant)

2. Stay in my own flat (Coming in Dec) and my mum will only be here for a few hours in the morning till afternoon and after that I will be on my own since hb works on rotating shifts.

3. Hire a CL at my own flat but feel uncomfortable living with a stranger.

Headache man...
 
daisy - you are very lucky; your husband is so hands-on.

chinbbs - i heard it's ok to switch on the fan as long as it is not blowing directly at you. my ex-colleague warned me to minimise going out to avoid getting 'chills'. she went out once during her confinement and came home shivering non-stop until her CL gave her some home remedy.
 
Carol - if i'm u , i choose 1 !! =) being a first time mom is not easy and have lots of things to learn

if #2 , after ur mom go and wen ur hb go works , u will left alone to handle baby urself and if anything happen , u will need someone to help u look after

#3 , if u meet a bad CL , its terrible unless CL is someone close to u intro de ..
 
Carol : your house and my house will be one street away ... no worry i keep you company .... haha ...

Think stay at your parent place or someone can take care of you more important.
 
Kelly- hubby is worse den my mom , my mom everything chin chai , hubby everything is NO .. like now , i go out eat with him .. he dont allow me to have cold drinks totally , not even can drinks which is not cold .. only milo , horlick .. typical uncle type !
 
Any mummies going for antenatal classes? more applicable for the 1st time mummies...

Did any mummies go during their first pregnancy? Is it necessary?
 
daisy, the lactation consultant always told us every mummies hv milk. some lucky one before gave birth hv abundant of milk whereas some need to slowly build up supply. The best let bb latch on. bb refuse to latch, pump also can trigger milk supply.
 
star_nn - i didnt go for first pregnancy ..

chinbbs - but not always will be successful on pumping , my #1 i tried but it cause to bleeding so i stopped after tat ..

as for me , i always feel weird feeding breastmilk cos i donno hw much did baby actually drank and donno whether is baby able to latch properly , donno if he's full or not .. tis always pop into my mind wen i try latching haha so i give up eventually
 
<font color="000080">Daisy >> Hers due in Jan or late Dec. But her #2 I think she stopped bf-ing after a few months cos of mastisis, not sure if she will bf this one. </font>
 
hi starr_nn, i went for that and i find it quite useful for mental preparation and also to get the hubby involved in the whole process. the sessions i went to, the trainer kept stressing that the fathers shld try this and that and nag at them to help out the mother in the future.

daisy, he is just concerned abt u!!! hee! so xing fu!

carol, i will go for #1. having a new baby in your life is stressful and tiring enuff u dun wan to get used or being upset by the CL! plus it is always good to have someone there with u all the time lah. after delivery will be weak one.

any of the ftwm here thinking of switching to sahm? hee.. want to listen to some opinion on this.
