sunbelle, really ah!!! i dun feel so alone on the heartburn then. yah... that thread very exciting cos it's like so close to us and yet so happening. for us it's still a big waiting game. 2nd one shud b easier esp when #1 was natural. after c-sect, #2 natural quite tough one cos that area is hard and not as stretchable as normal delivery.
sigh... no lor. not ready but can't stand the drag....

I checked up on California baby and saw that it used to be a well-regarded product. But the co. recently quietly changed the formula and some babies developed rashes from using it. Plus the company mis-managed the PR and deleted all negative comments from their facebook and so the bad PR just exploded.
I bought the Calendula cream thing for bb's butt cos' read rave reviews about it but I made sure to ask the seller that it's the old packaging.
Not sure how you want to take the reviews. I'm also keen on organic products but worry about being scammed. There isn't really an international control body. My sis bought Aveeno's organic range for me. So will just use it. Thinking of using Seba-med after it's finished. My colleague highly recommends it.

sunbelle: My dinner for last night was Tom Yam Gai. Wow! It has never tasted so good before and I finished the whole pot! Mmm... That's why I told my boy to eat the chicken (breast). With or without the Thai fish gravy really taste a lot of difference. *drool* Not to mention I cut a big honey dew after that and ended up feet got swollen until now for standing too long. Doubt it will go away.

i've been experiencing heartburn off and on in third trim too.. thought id b lucky enuff to skip it entirely but its started since abt wk 30 or so.. n its at its worst when i lie down..
also, my insomnia is making it v v v hard to concentrate n work!! id go to bed at 10+, 11.. but will wake at 12+, 2+, 4, 5am etc.. sometimes i'd end up waking at 2 and remain unable to sleep till 5!! doesnt help that i finally get sleepy at 7 but it's time to wake up already.. also, i'm starting to get increasingly uncomfortable sleeping on my side. in addition to bb's kicking and poking, my hand starts to go numb and also every turn to the opposite side results in a super loud 'crack' of my hip joints!
also, bb's constantly pushing out against me in all sorts of ways, causing my tummy to get very tight and uncomfortable. it used to only be when i sit thru long meetings/have a slightly full bladder.. but now even when i just sat, or even when walking i feel it happening! it's v v v v uncomfortable lor. Haiz. Really hard to even sit down and concentrate on work for a while. How i wish i can just go on no pay leave already. but waste of income leh.. dilemma dilemma.

zzzzzzzz. i'm in total zzzzz mood and mind. already drank a cup of coffee this morning but it did not helped.
hika,
u're not alone. i'm facing the same during nite time. now, i dread abt sleeping at nite as no matter how i sleep, sideway, on my back or sit up, it's so uncomfortable. when trying to turn ard, it's such a big manfan now. hv to turn slowly slowly as though i sprain my back.

Aiya, I was so bz at work this morning have no time to log on, and now I have to read the archives!
I've been taking lunch at my desk lately cos really hate to fight with the lunchtime crowd at tg pagar.
Kalmen, nice work on the baby mobile! I love it! I love doing craft work too =) I have done up a scrapbook in advance for baby's mthly pictures =). Now thinking of decorating nursery with scrapbooking materials framed into Ikea photo frames (got the idea from 'Made with love'). Noticed you have read Gina Ford. You might want to also read Dr Sears. I've frens who followed the Gina Ford method and they swear by it even for difficult babies. But for parents who are turned off by how complex and rigid her methods are, Dr Sears attachment parenting might appeal more. I'm just reading different sources and keeping an open mind....

I'm also having very intermittent sleep lately... will fall asleep by 11pm, then wake up at 2am and 4am ... and finally force myself to roll out of bed at 630 to get to work. Maybe all these is to prepare us for the sleep deprivation that we will get when the baby arrives! So to look on the bright side, when we finally pop, all the waking up in the middle of the night for night feeds and to change diapers will be a walk in the park! =) Yay!
Quite a few of you mommies for maids from Myanmar... Are they new or transfer cases? One of my frens hired a new maid from Myanmar and her maid will kowtow to her husband and her every morning when they wake up and in the evening before they return to their room! They told her to stop doing it cos it's just plain weird but she still insists on doing it ... and it has been more than 3 mths. Anyone with the same experience??

Liligal: I'm 33wk1d today.. Still a rather long way to endure! Was hoping to have some lull given its the June hols (the big bosses traditionally go on their family vacations now) but seems like this yr is exceptional.. In fact, there are more meetings than ever!! I negotiated w supervisor to let me work from home but if there are meetings like 3days a wk, it's practically useless since I'll have to be in office on those days anyway.
Oh and as for the mobile, I got one frm my SIL as a souvenir when she returned frm her trip.. But it's the sort that has a loop on top n ure supposed to hook it somewhere.. Trying to find a way to put it on the cot.. Anyone has any ideas? Haha..

lili_gal, I think it's a close fight between you and laura. We can start placing bets already. Heh ...

Hello mummies, wah i have only been away from this thread for 1 day & i hv to start reading from archives.. 
Looks like most mummies here are having problem sleeping at night.. i guess im more fortunate as so long as i slp on my sides, i dont have much problem.
just that i need to wake up at least once to pee..
Joy, hope your nail recover soon.. as op to remove the nail is terrible.. i had my ingrown removed once..
Hika, is your EDD 23 july too??

bhoo,
guess the fight is between liligal, joanne and laura. do update us if any of u pop okay?
mummylee,
for my case, my sequence is:
1. clean the area using wipes.
2. apply nappy rash cream
3. change new diaper
i know some do not always apply the nappy rash cream. so it depends on individual practice.

cherish: is your workload very heavy? else better to rest at home when you are on mc...
citizen: CB Calendula Cream is the most popular product.. if they really changed formula, i think a lot of mummies will complain! hopefully it is ok for my bb! *cross fingers

ourlovestory,
my workload will increase as approaching mth end. actually, i just want to take mc for the sake of no need to travel to work. i find it's very tiring to travel to and fro nowadays. And when i reach home, totally exhausted and no energy to play with my boy. i dont mind working my stuff at home since not really 'mc'. hahah

Well i guess i should count myself fortunate i'm allowed to wfh..But totally agree about the difficulty either way: travelling to-from work is a pain especially cos i travel by public tpt and it's almost a 50min journey one way with a need to change tpt (train-train; or train-bus). And worse cos i nid to lug my laptop with me too! Add that to all the inconsiderate pple in peak hour trains/buses who pretend u're invisible.
On the other hand working at home is also torturing because of the weather.. i'm trying not to give in too easily to temptation and live in aircon all day cos i dont want my electrical bill to explode.
As for food, my main problem is how to ensure that i only stick to healthy choices cos both myself and bb are overweight lah! super upset and worried heh. hopefully his growth (and mine!) slows down. He's 2.2kg at 32wk5days last i checked. >.< will find out the progress next week.
zhen: yeap!
