Sksf - Hair thin is due to loss of protein, cause when we give birth, we give our baby everything liao. As for extreme hair loss, it could be due to hormones imbalance (a percentage of ladies will encounter this) but I think there's medication to fix it? I personally like to apply beer on my hair, hehehe!
May - Ya, dont eat too salty cause the legs will swell due to water retention & they are very stubborn/hard to go off and walking would be painful too. On the other hand, sugar also dont take too much ok?
SharonK - You got additional one pimple, I got an ARMY siah! I buay tahan, sometimes I just squeeze them out, then apply toner. I realised my face is oiler than before so I dare not use my moisturisor too.
Angie - Seemed like you had it easy for #1 loh. For me, I am just sooooooooooo out of this world tired. I'm a week away from week 12 but as it is, people can identify my bump already, haha! Also, I met into a nice cab driver - he asked me if I'm expecting #1 because I look so tired and worn out. Geez!
As for green papayas, if the fruit itself is readily available, then I think just look for those not ripe? I'm not sure, but I do have plans to start sourcing the ingredients earlier so I can tell HB where to buy too. I'll send you the recipe soon! Ya, and I agree, long hair can tie and keep it away but for short, I also feel it's always in the way.
<font color="ff0000">can someone teach me how to set the settings to allow PM please?</font>
May - Ya, likewise our Cocker Spaniel, he can be pretty rough when at play - like a bulldozer. Way before Cesar Millan is so popular, I had been a firm believer of his works, its like magic loh. I admitted I have slagged thru the years, but recently I wanted them to 'protect' me instead of tramping all over me. So when he comes close to tummy - I claimed my space. They seemed to have know after practicing for 4 weeks? You have to do this yourself, otherwise even if they listen to your HB but when your HB not around then difficult to tame them.
If you still bring them for walk, it's also a good time to practice them to learn to accept your pregnancy. I'm still working on it, baby steps, cause I had always been super active with them (so a sudden change/cut in walks, the dogs are confused too) and also, once we get the stroller (before I am due) I also wanna go with HB to train them how to walk properly with the stroller...

normally I think we can see quite clearly on the detailed scan on week 19/20.
The regular scans at the gynae may not show the gender clearly unless yr baby is facing the right directions with no legs or hands covering....hehe. Initially, my gynae tot that my girl was a boy until after a few scans....
Before the scan, I spoke to my baby and told her to turn around so that we can tell if you are a girl or boy. Then we can plan and buy clothes for you...interestingly, the bay will respond accordingly

Doing my Oscar test next week, hope can see the gender during the scan. If not got to wait 1 more week then see gynae.
My #1 confinement, I washed my hands with warm water after toilet visit.
My husband helped me to wash the pump till he is so expert in fixing up for me. Hee!

My girl also had menses discharge during her first few days. I was so worried. Checked with PD. He told me it's a good sign. Means baby's reproductive system next time will be healthy.
CCharis
I pumped and latched. Managed to exclusive bfed my no 2, 3 and 4 up to 6mths when they started to take solids. Stopped bfeeding totally when they were around 8-10 mths. But i am one who is guilty of supplementing with fm for the first 2 weeks until the full flow come in. I worry abt baby not drinking enuff, so supplement for nite feeds so that baby can sleep better. In the meantime, pump like siao every 2.5 hrly during the day from 630am to 1130pm. Then wake up once ard 3am at nite to pump again.

Good Afternoon Mummies, I just came back from lunch and are soooo sleepy that I am sipping green tea now.
Read the discussion on breast feeding and would like survey which breast pump is recommended. My current offfie do not have a nursing room so most likely have to pump in toilet so thinking of Medela Freestyle, Pump in Style or Ameda Lactline? Any comments?

<font color="blue">Hi babe, i'm using Pump In Style for my #1, very good! Can adjust the pumping speed & strength somemore. When i first bought it, very expensive .. 800+ now the price went down alot! Actually can pre-order if i'm not wrong there's a thread in the forum pre-ordering for Medela's bp. Actually if you're intending to bf long right, can invest in Medela's breastpump, very good.. Got portable battery de or switch plug de. hehe. Very suitable for on-the-go mommies. I bf for 1 year & the machine still functiong now even after going to 1year of not using .. hehe..Intending to get a same but new one if my previous bp suaysuay(hopefully not) unable to function when i'm gonna give birth. hah.</font>

May,
My office is open concept so even meeting rooms are "fish tank" as in all the walls are made of glass so pumping in office is out of question.. heehee
I used Ameda Lactline for #1, thinking of trying Medela freestyle or PIS for #2 coz my Ameda have rather short battery span and toilet don't have power outlet. So depressing to think that my bb's milk will be express from toilet. Yucks!

16 weeks! Have to wait a while more!
Btw, what's the difference between Medele Free style and pump in style? They have so many models. Which one is easier to bring around?
<font color="0077aa">Angie</font>
Yeah, I read a book that say talking to the baby helps. In fact, every night I speak to the baby, and read to the baby. Hopefully it helps us to bond with the baby earlier.

i think my pump is a medela mini pump...in which can use the power cable or batteries. I chose that becoz it is portable. it is small and is a single pump.
Talking to baby does help with bonding coz they will be easily soothe by the sound of your voice when they are infants. When my girl was in her first month, she will cry every evening between 7-9pm....not sure if colic was the reason but she can only be pacified when i carry her.
Meredith:
I also delivered my #1 at Mt A. I find the service good and the nurses are very professional.

I think 1st time mums like me, more KS. My friend said, once you have your #2, it's different le.
<font color="0077aa">Angie</font>
I'm looking more at double pump, cos can pump both at the same time. I'm thinking of buying the breast pumps only after I give birth, not sure if it will be too risky. But what if I don't have enough milk??
<font color="0077aa">Joanna</font>
I can't wear normal leggings, the thin banding makes my tummy really uncomfy. I'm also looking for maternity leggings with a wider piece of band that covers the whole tummy. So far, can't find anything yet.
Btw, my gynae only start me on multivits, fishoil and calcium from the 12 weeks.

<font color="red">Meredith</font>:<font color="blue">I find it okay to wash though, hehe... Actually PISA have many types, i'm looking at the shoulder bag type one cause it looked nicer As for backbag one if you're getting, pump in toilet you can actually place in on your lap for support. & they have a compartment in the bag to hold the bottles while you pump. So quite friendly actually..
& saw your suggestion of getting a nursing shawl & express it at your work station.. When i previously working in beauty line, i express it in one of the facial rooms ah.. the machine sound kinda loud can be heard :x the customer from other room actually asked my colleagues "What sound is that? A new machine?" Hahaha, & my colleague of course know i'm expressing so she said"yaya, it's a new machine" haha.. very funny!
<font color="red">reineluv</font>: You wants a boy? haha.. Sorry babe, actually i'm not very sure bout the differences between freestyle & PISA. Cause my sil who bf my niece up to 2yo actually recommended me PISA that time so i just bought it. But for me i love PISA cause we can adjust the suction type & the strength plus it's double pump.. When started breastfeeding, every single drip of milk is very precious to us. & esp when our milk supply is on high demand for our newborns. I express both sides together so that more milk will be able to be expressed out & equally.. If express one side definitely the other side of the breast will start to leak milk too, so it's like so wasted, I did tried expressing one side & my other side leak milk i'm so heartpain like i wasted my milk!! So easily, i expressed both sides tgt + expressing both sides together can actually save alot of time.. Might felt sore, but it's good. Plus the adjusting of the speed & strength .. the suction is good though not as strong as baby lactation .. But it'll still be able to stimulate our milk circulation & supply using the PISA. This's the good point, cause i can adjust my speed to slow to fast & from strength light to strong .. Purpose is to let our sensitive nipple slowly adapt to the frequent expressing. To warm up :x</font>

For tights, u can try to have a look at mothercare. Bought my maternity pants from this lady who advertises online and she stays at AMK. I will try to look in my super old correspondences if u want...
