bbkk: Yeap, have fb.. heh heh, okie, I go search for the fb grp.. =) I read tt 2Ks & rejoy are the administrators of the fb grp, so basically, I just add the grp and then identify my SMH nick will do? Never joined grp before, only tried liking coupla pages on fb.. =p
2Ks: Yeap, I've done screenshot of the herbs to buy sharing previously, then was wondering if need big quantity, then if can find reasonably priced herbs then wld be gd coz wont wanna be ripped off, ltr heartpain.. haha..
Wah, okie, then abit jialat if all needs to be kept in the fridge.. coz no space liao ler.. btw, I did screen shot of ur sharing on the herbs to get, but not sure on the concoction/ recipe mix.. I copied red dates, black dates, dangshen and another kinda date or sthg.. but dunno how much to mix etc..

bewildered: u dont have CL? if CL have they will know how to mix.
its actually nan zhao...nan zhao is it called black dates? cos i think i never heard blue dates before la.
dang shen must see what grade u buy. if u get from those agencies, theirs is skinny type. u prob need 5-6 sticks (but its not so nice and abit bitter)
and also must see your pot, your own taste. how sweet or how thick u prefer leh. u can adjust la.
dump everything in boil nia.
u can search for A small small WORLD in fb and request to be added in. then PM me or rejoy yr name in fb then we will approve. this is to minimise silent readers and spammers.

rach: me lor...i also walk like a penguin. very problematic.
walk too much = contractions
sit too much = backache
eat too much = heartburn
eat too little = hungry
sleep early = wake up in the night cannot fall back asleep
sit on floor = problem getting up
aiya...all the problems of preggies

Thanks BbKK and meiliew... am on insulin and also seeing nutritionist. Mine is not GD but I've had diabetes for more than 10 years. Lately maybe change of hormones (again), i have been worrying more than usual and i asked the doc on my monthly and she told me if not controlled, bb heartbeat may stop so i freaked out some more but doc laughed at me and told me not to worry so much as long as control sugars well.
XuaN: I have been using L'occitane Supple Skin Almond oil from 1st trimester - super kiasu yes - but so far I've not seen any stretch marks but it's a bit costly in SG so if u have friends gg to HK, can ask them to get for u cos it's like $15 cheaper @ abt $66 per bottle.

2ks,
I agree with you all these problems. plus now there no comfortable position to lie on the bed. even watching tv on bed is a torture for the poor back. and still have to tahan for another 2 months...
One one hand hope the days passes fast and bb come out soon so that all the suffering will past. on the other hand, havent get anything for baby yet.. so many things to be done..... wishing baby dun come out so soon... hahahaha
Can someone approve me in the facebook page?? i already add myself to facebook like 2 weeks ago or was it last week. till now still not approve by admin yet.

Cooking of herbs during confinement
- Er, silly qn again but need to prepare those big pots for cooking the red date drink and soups is it? Hahahaha coz we seldom cook at home and just moved in last Aug so only have happycall, pot for maggie mee, big wok and a frying pan. I think not good enough for the CL to cook/boil stuff right? I think need to buy at least 1 big pot (deep and big kind)? Need the slow cooker for tonic soups? Shall see if I can borrow from my mom's place since she hardly cook too...
2Ks - hahahah I laughed when you describe all the symptoms/problems of a pregnant woman! I agree...nw I just walk across the street from bus-stop to my block I also pant and feel breathless. Stand abit butt tired and legs aching. Sit too long, butt ache and difficult to get up (esp if I am sitting on a low couch). Now I also realise my feet start to swell the moment I get off bed! Was so happy that my feet remained the same size for the 1st 7mths, then suddenly nw swell and my shoes feel tight esp in the morning.

After seeing your post on ML i realise when I took 4 months 1 shot, my ML included all my weekends! That means about 16 days of Saturdays & Sundays. I wonder if I'm too calculative if I were to apply for ML on a week-to-week basis. Sigh.

The ginger cream that you ladies you recommended good leh, I like. Helps with the backache. Hiam hiam one and the feeling lasts quite long.
For the drinks and bath water I only got 1 big thermal pot. And a tiny slow cooker.
Pinktulip - Alamak ML includes all the weekends, no wonder so soon need to go back to work. *sad*

I am also struggling to find a comfortable position to sleep...it's so impt now cos after bb is out, i am prepared to sleep less than 5 hours.

2Ks: yeap, gonna have a CL but was reading online for the confinement drinks and one rec the 黑木耳 mix into the tea, supposed to clear blood clot n all.. Most recipe tis either red dates, black dates, nan dates n dried longans in a drink, while another's dang shen, red dates n longans, but cant find a recipe wh mixes them all up.. -_-
M gonna drink those nursing tea too, coz hope can provide for bb unlike last time, totally cmi.. So think i'll b downing lotsa teas, shldnt have any prohibitions like coupla hrs apart fr the nursing tea n the red date tea bah?
M thinking of askin cl to make the drink using pressure cooker (wh shld be done in ard 1.5hrs instead of boiling for 2hrs to 3hrs), then aft tt trf to flask or normal pot to put on stove to heat up as need be.. Then aft washing up d pressure cooker, will use it to boil soup n then trf out to thermal pot to keep warm.. Reckon it'd be gd to go? Coz else abit xim tia if everythg gotta boil for real long hrs..
Wrt: herbs for bathing
Boil water with the herbs in it wont generate half a pail leh, can add hot water fr the shower?
Chiro: now can eat watermelon? I dared nt touch watermelon coz scared oo liang but given the hot weather recently, the watermelon juice sure looks tempting !!

Bewildered, for the herbs to bathe during confinement, I boiled a pot of it to get a concentrated mixture of the herb water then added some more boiled water to it in a pail. I think it's alright also this way. It takes a lot of effort and time to boil a pail full of herb water.
can add hot water from the tap? Mine is those water heater...i scare not enuff to bath
Ever since i on the fan and aircon to sleep, i can sleep much better liao..but now i am losing sleep over my handover. Still got 7 weeks to my due date but work wise only left 6 weeks..haizz
The weather is bad lah..hot than sure rain during evening..than even hotter after that

Morning ladies.
Anyone feeling the heart beat rhyme at the tummy area? is this normal? i am feeling it more often recently. Arrghh, i am getting so stress up. Gynae never ask me to monitor the movement and now i stress, start to jot down as and when can. I keep telling baby, give mummy a big kick please.

bewildered - I have watermelon when I feel hot and heaty, feel very shiok after that. Western culture watermelons actually good for us due to its nutrients. But take in moderation, I also believe in the TCM cooling/heaty factor.
Min - I can feel heart beat rhyme, not sure is that hiccups though. I never jot down baby movements, but will monitor and make sure baby moves moves everyday. Seems stressful to jot down baby timings? As in it might make you worry more when baby is actually just sleeping/relaxing inside.

BEWILDERED: I just had watermelon juice yesterday! =X too tempting on hot weather!! Drink in moderate should be fine.
Min: yup. I feel heart beat rhyme at times too. and can last for quite some time like 10minutes? Many people said it's baby hiccups. So, all this while I believe it is. hahahah! I don't jot down baby movement actually, as long as he kick day to night (which is what he is doing now - very hard some more!)...I feel safe already =) My baby never stop kicking and punching since Sunday, So I'm wondering he got so busy inside a not. like no need rest/relax/ sleep lo.

Thanks for the assurance ladies. I was really worried. the heart rhyme is mainly on my right side and it moves around.
Xuan: Yes it can be for very long at times. I shift my position here and there, still can fell it. Got worried if baby is stress of uncomfortable. envy, my baby is gentle, no hard kick so far. my gf asking me is it becos it is a baby gal and she is gentle. The kicks are more at night for me too.i am trying to keep track now.. keep talking to baby - baby move move. hahah
