U feeling better? Mind sharing how much you paid for zapp extra 2013 model and maxi cosi cabriofix 2012 model? I'm so tempted! But I also have to remind myself I'm not into strolling my baby when they are younger. I'm more of a babywearing fan.

Good sunny weather to wash clothes last weekend uh. Esp sunday. My hb still hasn't taken out the box of clothing from storeroom. it's heavy and got stuff on top of it, if not i surely take out myself liao.

2ks - I think kkh sells... will check it out this Wednesday... it's to numb the area and aid healing??
pinktulip - I paid $799... hubby pay half I pay half... lol... bought at baby hyperstore... we like the extra cos can full recline... actually I only wanna get zapp but hubby say zapp extra... and #1 also still can use... seriously becos of this stroller I considering #3... hahaha...

chiro: with epi you don't need other pain relief. for some they try the laughing gas first then when cannot endure then go for epi. but epi will take some time to kick in and not forgetting it also take times for the doctor to come and administer the jab. for me, i very kiasi, so i go in immediately ask for epi already LOL.
2ks: wow the spray looks good! thanks for the recommendation. one thing I hate most after childbirth is when peeing cos below will pain pain.
babymaine: i took my placenta for #1. for this #2 I wanted to also but couldn't manage to contact the lady that helped to process my placenta for the first time round so probably won't take this time round. for me, the reason why I decided to take my placenta is cos my MS during 1st tri was super jialat. and that's the period when our body produce all the hormones to make the placenta which also make us so xinku. so it's kinda taking "revenge" lol. my gynae view is rather neutral cos no scientific evidence to prove it's benefit. I also not sure how beneficial it is but I notice that I feel much more energetic this pregnancy (other than 1st tri due to MS). Now at week 31, I can sleep very well at night, hardly fall sick, almost free of all the negative symptons of pregnancy as compared to my first pregnancy, even thou this pregnancy I eat rather unhealthily and nvr exercise hee hee. the placenta will be in capsule form so it's very easy to consume.

I'm still considering placenta encapsulation. I wanted to engage this service but at Mrs Wong Boh Boi class she said placenta contains a lot of toxins, no benefits at all. Some people find it gross lah. Hmmm...
Then hor if we donate the cord blood can we still keep the placenta also?

Griny, yups it's him. He declined my mt a straight... So sad cos I kinda love mt a.. #1 was born there and till now, I'm still bringing my girl there to see her pd, dr Terrence tan. V nice guy.. Wanted to choose him as #2 pd upon delivery but................... Sigh
2ks,, I do have a ikea stool inside my bathroom to sit when bathing my girl. But I'm quite tall, so when I'm sitting on the stool, it's still quite xinku.. Can bend down to pick things up during confinement?? Sigh my girl will throw lots of thing onto the floor and when she's in a gd mood, she'll pick it up. But when she's in a angry mood, I can forget about asking her to pick it up. Else, I got to wait until her anger subsided before asking her...
Is the earth mama bottom spray v gd? I only bought earth mama baby bottom cream as I saw lots of gd review for it thinking that nb butt v delicate and prone to nappy rash...
Speaking of iherb, I think I'll place another order before I deliver. Stock up more supplement and snacks for #1...
Vicvic, my nipples became bigger after #1... Even the aerola area. Became so big until my hb laughed at it!! I think it's cos during bf, my breasts were engorged and there's quite a lot of milk inside. So as time goes by, my breast skin stretches and didn't shrink back after I stop bf.. Lol... I even had stretch marks on the right side of my breasts back then!

reddish: the ikea white stool is it...ikea stool not suitable lor. its either too tall or too short...lol
i bought from outside. most important must have anti slip okay.
can bend down pick things, but the posture must be right. means body down, not legs bend. u get what i meant.
reddish/fabbie/waiwai: eh, commonly used outside the spray think is pink bottle or something. can get at pharmacy. but accordingly to my friend, its not so cooling type. some gynaes have it also, can ask. but should be more exp la. but then whatever la, as long can help with the pain.
this spray i wouldnt say it speed up the healing process. but it sort of give a cooling feeling to bottom after use, and u feel better u know. then it will like make down there not so wet and sticky due to the lochia.
i spray it everytime i go to the toilet. even change pad i also spray it. it make me feel better and less painful.
i never try the cream before, i scared oily.

I'm also trying to figure out where to put baby clothings. the kids' room cupboard is super full already. I actually bought 2-3way opening storage boxes so that it doesn't look so messy when we open the clothing cupboard.

I can't imagine studying while pregnant! I got pregnant during the last 3-4 mths of my studies last year and my mood was down quite a lot. I had no mood to study and just did the bare minimum for exams. I'm so glad my studies is over! All the best to you. U have night classes too?
Spray
I'll just the ones gynae gives. One bottle can last me weeks. Actually I recall using it only for first few days/weeks. After that chuck one side.
I'm actually very amazed at you ladies who are hiring confinement ladies. I can't imagine being in the same house as a woman I don't really know but I'd love to have an extra pair of hands to help.

pinktulip: the boys cupboard definitely cant store meimei clothings lor. i only managed to clear a drawer empty nia. which is not enough. if wanna put towels already occupy half of the drawers.
if CL is good, the mother has sufficient rest u know. everything all taken care of.
like morning wake up, just do the milking duties, then breakfast will be ready.
then CL will bath baby, prepare water for bathing/wipe down for mummy. then CL will feed baby, prepare lunch. 12 noon lunch ready. 3pm teabreak ready, 6pm dinner ready and then tonics all taken care of.
red dates tea also prepared. baby wiped down in the evening.
all these mummy can have adequate rest, focus on bf, building up supply.
and the pain down there.
during #1 i survived few days without a CL, and it was so tough handling a crying baby plus a pain down there. and low morale cos milk havent come.
i rather tahan 28 days with a stranger.

I think I'm going to clear my drawers, give it a good wipe and put baby's clothes there. Just like how it began when I had newborns previously. Now it's just a matter of finding time to do it!
2Ks, Jill
Actually I'm Malay, and Malays rarely engage CL. I'd love to have one actually, it's just that, it's not common practice to hire one in the community. I doubt I can even find one!
Jill, I guess my mom will help cook some simple soups for me, or I could cook simple ones myself too. I'm not too particular lah, as long as not too oily or fried, I'll eat. Shouldn't be too spicy too since it'll affect milk taste. Survived #2 staying on my own so I guess I'll just hang in there.
