Catherine,

Your mum is right to ask you drink more dang shen water it helps to build up your "gi" in your body. What my mil does for my sil is besides adding just red dates and longan into the red dates tea that we consume during confinement, she added in dangshen and "black dates" aka in chinese is called " lan zao" .

Hi tronso,

i bought bra extensions formy usual bra and when i reached 4mths + i find it very uncomfy so i switched to bra tube top i bought from fox instead, quite comfy only $10-$12. I chose the largest size. And i match it with sleeveless loose tops that i bought from mango etc. Then when i reaches 6mths i bought nursing bra instead with no underwire. Got mine at the bb fair very cheap around $16-$18, usual price is $30++. If u got bigger budget can buy from mothercare or even marks and spencer.

Thanks ladies for the bra tips. I was desperate, so bought the largest size Bee Gees bra that day, think it's for juvenile...lol...

I also go bra-less at home but now I'm staying at my parents' place, so surviving on that 1 cotton bra and a looser wired bra
sad.gif
For bra extensions, I just try to fit the cups of my current bra against my breast, the wire used to reach close to underneath my armpits sorta, but now wire 'cutting' into breasts a bit, squeezing them...lol.... I have a feeling bra extension may not help with the breast part. I'll go check the sorella and triump cotton bras

Hazel, for leisure outdoors, I'm also wearing a Crocs covered shoes now, all other normal shoes don't seem to give good support. But I was at taka yesterday checking out the Kate Spade baby bag, felt a bit under-dressed, haaa....maybe just me thinking too much. So was thinking to get a good pair of covered shoes for cny or for more fanciful places. I'm not wearing any of my work shoes now, not working now and also cannot stand heels, so suddenly no shoes lol....

I've checked out Geox some time back cos hubby wearing the shoes for work, it has very good cushioning and ventilations
happy.gif
ok, I'll scout around, will just buy 1 pair for now

Btw, just curious, when do we get tested if we are iron deficiency or not? Dr Loh says no need to test but I read from other sources, seems like a normal preggers test.

I just feel outta breathe a bit more lately (momentarily black out once at shopping center last sat and almost black out again yesterday at Waterloo St), dunno if I'm low on iron....

Miracles, take care!! I had bad tummy pains, twisting and churning and uterus on and off pain quite badly last week too. I thought it's normal leh...you mentioned you have irritable bowel, means poo poo a lot? I poo more than pre pregnancy, like can be twice a day, dunno consider irritable bowels too...

Hazel, i know its a bit early but my sis bf is going to USA early Feb, so I'm thinking buy online on Kate Spade NY website and vpost to his hotel address (then collect bag after 7th mth, pantang). The discount one only usd195, looks like a bargain leh... I heard can't vpost to Singapore anymore, is this true?

I checked out the baby bags in mothercare, spring maturnity and maternity exchange. The better ones like Allerhand, are about S$150 and can only use as baby bag cos of the shape. The $100 ones looks quite flimsy and smaller. The better looking ones Motherswork ones are quite ex, like $200++ Am I missing anything??

Thanks for the iron info Catherine. I'll quest dr Loh again closer to week 20. I suspect my condition is due to climbing stairs too fast too much, walking too fast and talking too much same time.... Will have to adjust speed, still quite hard getting used to being pregnant...heh...

Tromso, some merchants may not send to hotels. Check out how much vpost charges to send to SG. U can always buy from USA n send to vpost USA postal address the vpost can send to you. Whatever bb stuff u bought, put an empty red packet inside for gd luck. Those small items u can put everything is a big storage box n put one empty red packet will do. My bb bags I also bought a few n most overseas too when family members travel.. Hv to coincide with their schedule.. No choice

Thanks Hazel. Kate Spade doesn't allow vpost to Singapore now

I think too excessive buying from Singapore buyers in the past. Oh, maybe cannot send to hotel, alright I'll check.

The ang baos don't need to put $$ right? Actually pantang things like this is a pleasure, easy to fulfill. My in laws forbids us to vacuum the floors now, also absolutely no baby showers and wedding dinners, no eating drinking in the bed, etc, a bit tough....
