Hi mummies,
Thank you very much for the encouragements and advices. Feeling better after this.
Ling, actually I think I that kind of person who mind will anyhow imaging things if I am not occupy. Even now when I still working, I can feel that my emo sometime go crazy too. Like last fri, hb tell me his on the way back from changi and he said on the way. However, he took more than 1 1/2 hours to reach. Then I qn him y so late he tell me traffic jam but still doubt him. So feel that I getting emo very easily lately. Scare if really stay house will be worse. My EDD is 1st Aug.
Think I also need to get my list out in order to c wat has been missing then quick stock up in case no time as only left like less than 2 months for me.

Just to share, I had lunch with my friend today and she mentioned she is able to get NeuroGain fish oil cheaper (around $30). Think most clinics sell at $40 or higher.
She is mother of two young kids and is also able to package confinement herbs (for bathing and for red date longan tea) for you if you are not sure what to buy. Will be overall cheaper than what you can get in Singapore.
I am not getting any commissions, just PM me if you want her contact and to find out more.

meistar: The "wax" you talking about is it clear and sticky but no smell, maybe only a little bit? If that is, it is pre-milk or called colostrum. I discover I had them some time ago and told my mum, she say everyday bath now must take care to clean the nipples so that it won't get blocked.
wow .. the thread is really fast ...
Anyway now i also in 32 weeks .. rykiel when is your csect date ?
Panties : i got mine from wintertime.. cos is 100 % cotton then also disposable ... previously when i travel i also buy , quite comfy and also can hand wash if wana reuse cos it dries super fast ...
BF : i can see some colestrum leaking sometimes.. just maybe 3-4 drops .. but still my breast size like no change .. kinda worry no milk come in ..
2nd time mummies : anyone know how long after csect then can bf the baby ?

this time i hope to bf longer...my goal for #2 will be 18mths of tbf..
really worried the pump die on me, previously another mummy suggested to go toh guan to service pump but i enquired so ex, $150 just to service..discuss with hb and decided to buy a new pump instead as if really die on me and need repair will need a replacement pump temporary....talked to other mummies who have #2 and use medela, all say medela very lasting and they used for #2 without problems..keeping fingers crossed..

Those worried about milk supply, don't be too stressed. Just know that if insufficient supply, can use formula milk. At least baby will not go hungry.
Important to have supportive family and right equipment. Preferably good dual electic pump if can afford, must compare the cost vs that of fomular milk. The mummies with #1 all have their share of bleeding nipples, engorgement etc. Some babies latch well, others only drink expressed breast milk. Whatever we choose to do, it is ok. We mummies are just trying our best for our babies.
Remember to drink lots of liquids (fish soup etc). My CL told me last time to drink Horlicks instead of Milo for better supply.

meistar: wow, urs started really early. Mine was only recent and only a few drops when I pinch the nipple (not sure normally got or not cos cannot see as it might get absorbed into the bra already) so everyday when I bath, I just gently rub the nipple. I have started putting nursing pad, you got?
anne: yup, i got the dry mama reusable nursing pads from the recent expo fair. Agreed it's very good, so much better than the avent one which makes my breast itch like mad. A little pricey but since it's reuseable, it would be worth it in the long long. I got buy disposable ones to use when my reusable ones are in the wash. Everytime throw those disposable one heartpain. Haha
JA: Is it cos you pump in a toilet with only 1 cubicle?

starfantasy,
i pump in the nursing room and there are 3 cubicles in total....when i entered the cubicle the other 2 were empty and i left i saw the other 2 are empty too...
usually if only 1 nursing room cubicle and other mummies knock, i will open to share with them the room...esp those with screaming babies who cant wait to be nursed..
