Yingz, think we have the same dry shampoo! I got the binder from Newmummy but not ginger cream. I am afraid if u apply the cream with binder, it might cause blisters. My friend tried and she had blisters, worse. Plus, if u scratch after birth, stretchmarks will also appear. Thats how mine came about, sob sob.... So i will just stick to binder only since my tummy also went flat after binding for 1 mth.

Kayla: you're right... I just checked and yes, ML can only start before or on the day of delivery... :/ ill revise my leaves then...
Mrs Ho: I'm not sure how long do we have to schedule our appt now that we are at the last month... coz last time he sees me after 4 weeks, but the previous appt, he wants me to schedule the next after 3 weeks...
newbie: AL is our own leaves, can take anytime isn't it? and yes, i think i need to forfeit my PH too.. haha!! lugi 2 days... my EDD is 6th may, near to you guys too... but ya, i thought 1.8kg at 34 weeks is OK since baby will keep growing? but preserver!! you can do it! i'll pray that all our babies grow just nice to pop... not too big, not too small, just the right size for us to push him / her out...

Yingzz, yeah... It does look tempting. U can try but dun apply too much in case u cant take the heat. Plus with the sweat and hotness during confinement, try to keep it clean. I bought shower gel and binder from her. Heard the Futuro brand at Unity also gd but almost double the price.

Wow! So many new members on FB! But who's who??
I was seeing doctor every 4 weeks, then reduce to every 3 weeks, then last week 32, he asked me to see him 2 weeks later at week 34. He said when even nearer to EDD will be every week appt already.
zp1503, initially I wanted to hold it outside just like you. But after much consideration, I decided to hold it at home, so less logistics to take care of..

My last apptm with gynae was last Wed, when Im at my 31 week. Next apptm is 2 weeks later, at my 33 weeks. Already starting to see him every 2 weeks. =)
Ive already booked my massage lady early this year, kiasu.
Recommend by a fren n had tried her for #1. sensitive to her special jamu oil, so just use normal oil to massage and bind.
Her rates are $500 for 7 sessions, $700 for 10 sessions including 1 free full body scrub.
Eash session is 90min include tummy binder and full body slim wrap with herbs.
Price abit steep but i see effect after a week of bind.
After which Im not diligent enough to continue with the binding..hahaha

Mummies for babies haven't head down: am sharing the link with u above..thought might be useful..
Yingzz: does your shampoo say "dry"? Cos the 1 I saw didn't write "dry"..So I didn't buy..
There are many times of binders so take your time to get 1 bah..ginger cream can use for many things like back aches or use it to slim thighs n butts, arms etc if u r not comfortable with tummy..but I read an article from a female Gynae, if c section use binder will be good to hold the stitches in place when moving up n down the bed

Hi can add me in fb, my email is [email protected] thanks!
Have more questions regarding sterilizers, I tried using mine yesterday, leaving all the breast pump parts in the sterilizer for a few hours to leave them sterile ... what I notice is that they remain wet throughout. So do most mummies take them out and dry them on a dryer rack? But wouldn't they no longer be sterile after we take them out?
Pardon the silly question, a first time mum has no idea how this works.

yumii,
no need to dry them out. i immediately take out and close. probably just need to dry the outer part.
ayana,
yes that's how it is usually - for me up to 7 months i'm seeing gynae once a month. during 9mth will be once every 2 weeks and last month once a week.
re binder, honestly i could not tahan wearing the bind for whole day. i wear only till afternoon then i took it off when taking a shower
my massage lady last time nag me a lot and told me should tahan until the next morning. but it was really uncomfortable.
re:maternity pads,
Just bought 1 pack of kotex with adhesive to use initially. Will then change to the overnight cotton pads. I only bought 3 packets in total. Hopefully enough!
re:thermometer,
I have both the ear one (pigeon brand) and the infrared one. Agree that infrared not that accurate but it will be useful to take temp particularly at night so as not to disturb the baby/kids. Another reason why I bought it is so that I can take measurement every morning for my son prior to going to school. If I use the ear one - will be wasting a lot of cover so in the end cheaper
re:nursing bra,
I haven't got mine yet but I'll be getting from spree. During my #1, I bought some cheap bras for night time from CK dept store at Kovan/Chinatown. Very cheap and can survive 1 year which is more than enough. But these days seems like nursing bras from spree are much nicer so I wanna give it a try.
re: pump for delivery,
Did not bring pump during #1, and I requested for full breastmilk so the nurse will brign baby over every 2-3 hours. Anyways, latch on should be able to stimulate breastmilk better and frist few days the BM will not be a lot.

tute, for the ear thermomter, I did not buy extra covers cos only baby himself using it, at most just clean it with swap that's all. I dun think its a must to use the cover right.
yumii, the wet liquid inside is ok, cos its sterile water. if you don't like it, can use the sterlized tongs to shake excess water away first lor.

Candymix: u are correct about the c-sec and binder! My gynae gift me the binder on the first morning after delivery and said I can't get out of bed without it. Ended up that binder too small for me, so got to buy one from MtA.
Keiko: I visit gynae with hubby, so can only do so on sat. But for #1, the frequency increased to every 3 days towards the last week, so by then got to take MC
chococlateteddy: no worries, actually the heavier baby is the easier to handle
rabbitz: hehe, I keep reusing the same cap for the thermometer, anyway the Braun won't work if no cap on
Ginger cream: I got the ginger cream, shower gel and the Braun thermometer from her. The ginger cream I use on my back now, provide some relieve but it's only HOT when I'm warm or sweating a bit, otherwise dun feel anything.

chocolateteddy: hehe, I myself was born > 4kg, so didn't expect baby to be too small. Anyway, because baby didn't engaged even at 41 weeks, and gynae said my pelvic too small (even I big size) baby was delivered using c-sec. Now he still say my #2 will be c-sec as well. My gynae is an experienced one which delivered for my auntie and my cousin naturally, else I'd have thot that he's pro-Csec
Candymix: Need to be carefully and hope that your GD will be gone after delivery. My mum is diabetic so I've 50% chance of being diabetic as well, just keeping my fingers crossed

big dee: Yeah, 2 months is still a while to go but I feel ready to welcome the little one already. I was with Dr Tham at TMC but we migrated so will be delivering overseas.
candymix: Are you also with Dr Tham? I didn't ahve bad experience with food at KKH. Never tried at TMC though so cannot compare
Nursery: Only have the cot and mattress set up at the moment and she will be rooming in with us. Am having difficulty finding cotsets here which is a little frustrating.
Ear thermometer: I also reuse the cap and simply clean it off with a wipe after use. As per what dolly said, the Braun ones does not work if you don't have the cap on but definitely recommend the brand.
Delivery: Am attempting a water birth for this one and will speak more about my birth plan to the midwife at the next appointment in 2 weeks. Had my 31st week appointment today and all seems good, with baby's head down and weighing about 1.7kg
Suggestion: We should create a table with everyone's info like where we are delivering, gynae, EDD, method of delivery etc

I dunno if the dry shampoo is good but no harm trying coz I cannot ta Han without shampoo my hair for 1 mth!!!!!!
Bought the binder coz jamu massage onli provide one at least get another one can interchange mah
Actuali I heard tat the binder can be use for natural as well. It will help flatten ur tummy.

my BB was 2.1kg at 31w (pregnancy app says usually is 1.7kg) and i also duno will exceed >3kg at birth. Ususally how big for BB then gynea will recommend c-sec? Based on weight or BB size of head and what is the guideline?
Binder: my frens who done c-sec says its A MUST to wear as pain reduces significantly with binder and you feel more confident and comfortable walking around with it ie wun feel the wound going to split open like that. However, its also good to wear after natural to help tuck the tummy.
Is it true that first time mummies tend to deliver earlier say 38th week?
Btw i read cannot use ginger cream or lemongrass shower gel (with the essential oil) during pregnancy.
