Bt some confinement ladies are from hell ~~~~~ I experienced that
sad.gif


I need 1 but I am really scare ~~~
 


Divein: Why your confinement lady so weird one? All the more she should encourage you to pump right? My confinement lady keep asking me to pump and she keep encouraging me that the milk flow will come in if I don't give up. That's why I have the determination. I'm sure any of us here will be able to do it.
 
Kimmy, so it's really still at the scar? Gosh! U wanna leave the clinic first and take some time to think? Or maybe go with my suggestion to NUH A&E and see what they can do? It'll be cheaper too if complications arise *touch wood*
 
Divein: Can understand. I have heard some horror stories from my own friends too. Best to get recommendations from friends who had used the lady's service before.
 
Angela
Just my luck

gt her from pem agency as last min my mom can't help ... Suppose to be experienced and train but heard from her it's her first assignment in Sg ....
Haiz I tot give ppl a chance and just 28 days but it's really traumatizing 28 days
 
Divein, I just read that if a baby falls asleep at the breast, don't wake him/her up. basically, feed on demand. U may wanna lie down side ways to nurse. That way, u can close your eyes too. But, don't fall asleep! Dangerous! U have to go attend a good lactation counsellor's session

applegal, my gynae delivers at Mt E/Mt A, but his clinic is at Mt E and BT Plaza.

Just came back from meeting, our thread moves fast! haha.

Read that if our BMI is under 18, will tend to put on more weight during pregnancy. Obesed people tend to put on less than 8kg. But not sure how true it is. I hope I can shed my fats and weight after pregnancy haha.

Angela, I put on 20kg when I had my #1 too, and feet size increased by 1 size! Managed to shed all the weight and subsequently lost 1kg within 1 year. But put back on 2-3 kg over the years. haha. Hope I won't put on so much for this pregnany!

I Hv no problem latching all patterns and I tried on demand feed .. Bt this sleepy head keeps falling asleep ... The hospital teaches us to tab their mouth to wake them or undress them so they nt too comfortable in falling sleep ... Haiz I later read that non aggressive drinker also a cause of decreasing milk supply ..
 
Kimmy, be strong. Can only pray for you.

Divein, I think I will be very stressed up too if baby's that way. But, your CL discouragement just made it worse.
 
Shirelle: Wow! Shedding so much weight within 1 year is really incredible! It took me 2 years. Maybe because I'm on the heavier side. Heez. I think there is no difference in the weight gain for slim/plump people. I have friends who are slim and also put on 20kg. It depends on the genes too. The most important is to be a happy mummy!
 
Haiz i definitely need a CL. My mum cant cook nutritious food and she is queen of eating leftovers. Hubby and i are staying at my parents place now cuz our flat will only be ready next year.. Do u all think its advisable to move house during maternity leave?
 
Kimmy, don't panic. Think the best is to call your HB and see if he can make a trip down to the gynae's with you. It's very hard for us to focus and make decisions when we are flustered.
 
Aiyo why all managed to shed weights! I put on 16kg, after delivery still left 6kg and that follows me ard till nw ....
sad.gif

My feet increase 1 size too
Now that factory can close after this I am determined to get hour glass after my confinement! Wahahaha
 
Rach, I may be doing reno during maternity leave period which I think the timing is apt. Can pop by to watch over the reno, etc. No need to take extra leave. lol So, I don't see why can't move house during maternity leave.
 
angela, I lost like 14 kg few hours after delivery. Continued to eat as per normal though. Guess I was quite stressed back then so lost all the weight lol.
 
Ocean
U can start once u decided when u going to put him .. Like when he 3 months? U can put on wait list for July for example ... Some dun need deposit .. I had a hard time cause my area do to Hv enuff infant care, luckily MFS open 2 before I popped :p
 
Ocean: Better not to get involved in any reno work during pregnancy. Maybe it's superstition, but it will affect the baby. Leave it to your hubby ok?
 
Kimmy: I am an inexperienced first time mtb, couldn't help you much in any advice. But be positive always and do not panick at this time to affect your decision. Wish you all the best! Hugs!

The thread moved really fast and I got a shock to see so many posts. I just returned back to work after being ordered for bed rest for 2 days. Felt really fortunate as compared to most of the mtbs with all the MS kicking in. Jia you, it will be over soon! I didn't really eat a lot but my weight gained 3 kgs after a week when I returned from BKK. Not sure if it was due to the heavy dinner I had before seeing doc or was the water I drank to make my bladder full. Hope I don't gain too much weight in the end.

I watched the rally and was kinda of disappointed at the end as PM did not propose anything constructive. They will announce Jan 2013.

Rach: If your mum can't cook, there are confinement caterers who can bring you lunch and dinner for 28 days. It's quite affordable. My friends find that the service and food are not too bad.
 
Shirelle/Divein: My feet also increased in 1 size. I'm wearing Size 40 now. Hoping that I won't put on 1 more size, or else I can only wear slippers liao. =(
 
I was initially planning to move house in Dec before knowing about the pregnancy. Do you all think it is still advisible to move?
 
Angela
Which caterer ur friend use? Actually think its cheaper than buying ourselves or ask CL to cook ... I am considering ..
Haiz
My CL cooks badly
sad.gif


By the way all my friend face bad CL dunno why .. Gt 1 never bathe baby some more ..
 
Lee: IF you really need to move, the best is to stay off from carrying anything or get too involved as you will be too tired and also it may affect baby. By Dec we are in our 5th month so it's more stable, but still gotta be careful. I was shifing house when I was in my 2nd month and got bad spotting from it. In the end had to bed rest for a few days. So from then on, my hubby did everything - unpacking, packing, arrangement etc, in case I got affected again.
 
Angela, are you v tall? I felt quite happy with the increase 1 size cause I could buy more shoes. Used to be v hard to get shoes. But I'm afraid this time it will increase too *touchwood*
 
Angela thx! good idea! Any good caterer to reco?

Ocean, i might be doing reno during ML too..depending on when i get my keys..

anyway im off work! talk to u all tmr!
 
Lee, just dont get involve in moving things ..
Also if ur parents are okay wif it ...

I moved when I was in my first trimester last time :p
But the damn painting smell makes my ms worse
 
oh no, I cannot afford to increase feet size, im already size 9-10 =(

i already had a hard time finding shoes of my size, grow one more size i can wear cros for the rest of my life liao
 
Divein, thanks for your advice
happy.gif
Is tingkat cheaper?

Angela, no house to reno during pregnancy. lol! it'll come after I've delivered. But, I do have to shift some things around in my bed room and around the house to accommodate baby's cot, etc.

Apple, suppose to be in 1st quarter of 2014 but will be earlier according to speculation.
 
Divein: Me too! I had to run out of the house when the painter was around. I was so involved in the reno works then. I think the preggie homones were raging coz my contractor got the painter to paint the walls in the wrong colour earlier on. I called him and blasted him really bad on the phone. At that time the carpenters were around and they were all so scared when I scolded him. In the end they did a good job on the cabinets. Wahahaha! Then again, I didn't know I was pregnant so thank god my gal was ok when she was born, or else I will be guilty all my life. =)
 
Rach, so lucky! Off work liao.

I took 1/2 cup diluted prune juice and it's not helping
happy.gif
Now constipated till so uncomfy and side aching. Gotta try undiluted 1/2 cup tmr. Too late to try when I get home. Will be waking up constantly thru out the night.
 
<font color="119911">yes...my hubby rush down....gynae say mine is really rare case...twins but at the scar...sizes of the york sarcs calculated at around 5weeks...that could be the reason why no heartbeat...my gynae refer me to her fren dr. Sf loh which has more experience as he is the head of ivf..dr.loh encountered such cases before, baby born live but during ceasarian, mother has many problem..im seeing him next week...hopefully got good news...</font>
 
Angela, dive in: Ok noted. I will make sure not to move any heavy items. Just put my stuff into boxes. I wanted to plan ahead that's why asking. Thought if I pack earlier will be better. Is it better to pack after 1st tri or wait till Dec?
 
Kimmy, which doc u see at TMC??
Do u hav pain now??
Infact my lap done by Dr Loh, he is quite good ...
Pla discuss with Ur gynea in details what they should do next... Which opt is more not to harmful Ur body...
Pls stay calm.... &amp; positive...
