<font color="0000ff">Constance</font> - Give me the boy! Hehehe!
<font color="0000ff">ML</font> - Sorry about that, updated!
<font color="0000ff">Kanelmo</font> - Ya, thinking if I should get during Taka fair or wait till delivery - not just for warranty issues but just to make sure I have more than enough milk to make the money spend on PiS well worth lah. Hahahah! I scared I no milk, or no willpower to keep on keeping on pumping leh.. I was told for BFing the more we should be conscious of our diets (ie. raw foods) so I'm not sure if I can keep up tp this ruling or not, as for now I am still eating sashimi like erm... 1-2 a week, oooops! *Blames HB for indulging*
<font color="0000ff">SharonK</font> - Ya, but start to compare prices/deals first loh (esp. the freebies part) as I was told by my friend that Medela would usually have their distributor booth in Taka fair, so the price/package should be equally competitive.
<font color="0000ff">Njon</font> - Great to hear that, phew! Congrats!!!!! Now both you & baby come out stronger than before, yay! No war no spoils eh?
<font color="0000ff">azcutiegal</font> - MS gradually left me when I hit 2nd T, but there are some ladies which might encounter MS throughout the entire pregnancy too. Do consult your Gynae about yout weight loss/gain, he/she would be in a better position to advise you, cause what we eat/gain - may be going to baby or ourselves, only the gynae can check for you the growth of baby and if it's in a healthy range or not. Fret not, my friend's tummy only became obvious when she is at 7months old, before that her tummy is flat, yes, FLAT.
<font color="0000ff">Nyctora</font> - If I have to bring my own bed - I give birth at home, hahahah! For me, I went through the list briefly and here's some stuffs I may bring and also will not bring:
[WILL NOT] music/magazine, pregnancy guide book (com'on, in that pain how to read? hahaha) bottled water/packet fruit juice, pillows & old covers, tennis balls (???) massage oil, bath towel, underpads (already got sanitary pads, and also I think hospital SHOULD provide), ring pillow.
[MIGHT NOT] - Panties (I will buy disposable ones), baby storybook (???), Cotton wool balls, and I likely I would just bring 1 set of baby clothes for going home. As for diapers I think I also wont bring, again hospital SHOULD provide.
Anyway I havent gone into details or start asking around, this is just a sample list & I would google for a few more just to compare then decide what to pack loh. Hoping others can input and lead us the blind out, hahhaah! But I think it is important to bring something that comforts you too, like a small hug?
<font color="0000ff">Meredith</font> What range of electric pumps? I thought PiS is about 700+ and from what I heard, I was encourage to buy double too because when you pump 1 side, the other side will leak milk also, hahha! Each side takes about 15-20mins, so a single pump would mean double the time required loh. Lastly for pumps, I heard someone mentioned here before can sample/rent but I am not confirm if this statement is true boh...}
<font color="0000ff">Raspy</font> - Yes yes!!! Tomorrow is the day! I hope baby would show me a big mushroom tomorrow. Hehehe... Ya, alot of Oct baby boys.
