Sasha: yes I'm with dr tham.
Yingzz: I dunno leh, kkh keeps giving me cold food and steam fish which my bb hates..do naturally no appetite..but maybe there is difference as I'm not kkh parent and admitted fr emergency observation and I chose subsidized ward cos scared preterm n very ex mah..I think A class ward will be better. At least my Sis in law said it's ok, quite gd during her delivery there.
On the contrary, I got friend who stayed in mt A and the hubby complains food not nice..it's subjective bah..
Dolly: yah actually if got gestation diabetes, high chance in future will kena diabetes lor..
Rabbitz: yah I also read cannot use lemongrass during preg but somebody told me it's ok 1..supposed we cannot drink lemongrass stuff but imagine u eat Thai food, everything uses lemongrass..?
Ginger cream? Ok bah, I read only first wk cannot eat too much ginger cos pass to bb thru BM..
Also will u all really not drink plain water during confinement? Cos red date Longan very heaty right? Then will constipate or even have piles..?
My mum said must wear LS pants n tops n socks with no aircon n fan..wah think will overheat...I don't think it's a must but wearing socks- a must?

Candymix,
Actually if follow strictly muz wear long sleeve top n long pants n socks la. But with our hot weather I think it's crazy la.
The last time I nvr wear socks but wear those cover slippers for home.
This time round I gt my mom to buy all short sleeve tops n 3/4 pants. Those set kind. Not even button down tops lor. Cos I think quite troublesome to hv to open the buttons wen need bf. Just lift up top is easier for me.

Lemongrass -
Hmmm... This is wat I know abt lemongrass. I hv been using it in my burner occassionally while im pregnant.
There hv been inconclusive tests on lab rats (they were injected) which caused them to be vry slightly less fertile. But the dosage tt we may use for burning or in products will not contribute to any negative effects on pregnancy.
As it may tend to irritate skin, it has been advised to avoid using it during pregnancy cos skin tends to be more sensitive while pregnant.
As food, it tends to stir heartburn so I avoid it due to this.

Actually the confinement shower gel from the BP is popular cos many people find it very refreshing (cos it contain lemongrass)? I am jus thinking peppermint shower gel also very refreshing, and this brand called 'original source' they have a lemon shower gel also v fresh. Maybe these are good alternatives too?

Jazzlyne: Personally for me, I find it best to tell the gynae my preferred method of delivery so you can work together with him/her to achieve that etc. But also need to be open to changes in siuation on the actual day
Sleepiness/tiredness: Am definitely feeling it too for the past 2 weeks, especially in the afternoon. And it's not like I do anything rigorous, except go for classes. Also, this past week I have been having trouble getting up in the morning even though I have been sleeping at the same time daily.
Chocolateteddy: Thanks for the link. How did I miss that?
Rabbitz: If your baby is big, then I think it's a touch and go situation. But I think as long as baby is not more than 4kg plus, you should be able to attempt for a normal delivery. If your baby's head is big, you might need require forceps or vacuum. It also depends how long you have been in labour and how your baby is doing then, most gynaes give about 10-12 hours for mothers to attempt normal delivery (if they are pro-natural). Would definitely recommend talking to your gynae about this and your concerns.
Binder: Def recommend it if you go through with a C-Sect. Really helped me a lot I feel
Not sure about other mummies, but my 1st born came just short of 37 weeks. Like you I also have not put on much weight (also less than 10 kg) but seems like baby is taking most of that as she
seems to be grwoing steadily
Yingz: Was in B1 class at KKH last time and food wasn't that bad at all. My hubby was impressed. And yes, will def update about the water birth *fingers cross*

Hey mummies, ask u all ah..u know it's recommended once bb is born that he is being put to the boobs to latch on n suckle right..cos his rooting reflex will be strongest..
But what is hr/ she sucking? If no colostrum then how? Will bb cry? How long he is supposed to be on the breast for this initial bd?

Baby's dressing upon discharge: As per what the other mummies said, just a set of NB size or 0-3mths clothes (could be seperates or sleepsuit/jumpsuit etc). It's personal preference really. Mittens, booties or socks and cap to keep head warm. Also swaddle cloth or hooded towel
Candymix: Yes, if you plan to breastfeed, definitely recommend to place baby direct on the chest after delivery so he can start suckling. But in SG, they would usually weigh and do the Apgar test before letting you spend time with baby.
Don't stress about not having milk supply etc in the first few hours. The baby's suckling is the action that will help to produce the milk so keep trying. The duration is entirely up to you but most newborn babies sleep a lot in the first week or so and may even have to be woken up for feeding.

Aiyo have u all read online news? So scary, child kidnappings in Singapore...even happened to my friend whose DD is just learning to walk..at compass point
Apparently quite a bit of attempted cases in amk and bukit panjang..2 successful cases in Tampines and simei..the one at Tampines happens just across my house in front of primary school!
This morning drove past and saw many cars entering the school compound, guess parents are worried..
My stupid hubby even frighten me that they will snatch babies from hospitals, making me paranoid

Kayla: Yes, you are right. This will help to reduce jealousy. And you don't have to get anything fancy, perhaps something that you know #1 will enjoy. Also, when #2 comes, if you have extra help, I would recommend that instead of spending time with the new baby, get the help to take care of the baby and you spend time with #1 instead, esp after confinement. Some one-on-one time so that #1 does not feel left out
