Koirc, yes hb can hear it. Maybe u try drinking some cold drink and lay on your left side. If u don't feel it, then ask your hubby to hear it.
 


sade, i was actually thinking whether shld get the cordyceps capsules from EYS for convenience. Good that heard more opinions and info from other MTBs and you first b4 committing. Never thought of the fact that the cordyceps in capsules is uncooked.
 
Luv, i was thking that herbs in capsules/pill form have either been freezed-dried or heat sterilised to remove undesired organisms....
 
Psp, ok thanks. will check it out when i go end this mth

Chevy, good point too. Well, guess since I can still have the occasional cooked cordyceps at my mum's, I'll not buy the capsules for now bah...
 
chevy & luv, for the herbs in capsule, it's actually being grinded by the machine under high heat, hence loss of nutritious value. That's how the sales explain to me at hock hua.
As for boiling it, the essence is in the soup n the meat.
 
Thanks, Hope. Can't wait for 2nd trimester.

Psp, can try switching to decaf? When I realised that I like coffee not for the caffeine but more for the taste, I switched.

Sade, thanks for the tip on just eating whatever I can for now (fully cooked). You are right, as long as food is appetizing and can stay down is a good thing

Ha ha!

I read that after a while can switch from Ensure milk to Mummy milk such as Similac. Is this correct?
 
Luv and Sade ya the cramp lessen after i slpt with my back rise up (almost like sitting position) feels okay le. I cant slp sideways coz bb don't like it.So worried ytd was even thking of going to the hospital if the cramp still there. Today left side okay but now is right side but at least not as cramp as ytd.

Maybe is because bb in week 18 now movement is more n uterus expanding tat's y so painful...

Btw for birdnest do you know gals drink the bottle type that contain pao sheng? Wondering isit expensive coz seems mostly is without pao sheng but with rock sugar.
 
I went for the maternity tour last Fri at KKH. They said becos they strongly encourage breastfeeding, they will be charging the bottled milk if bbs consume during the stay.... think last time used to be free

Luv - u used Avent breastpump last time right? Is it good? U will be changing to Medela this time? I was thinking not to spend too much money on breastpump cos also dont know whether I have enough bm..
 
Sade, tks for the black chicken recipe! I'm gonna try this week, try to eat more healthy stuff

Psp, congrats! Wonderful to hear good news from nurse right?

Koirc, hope, I'm also starting to look around for yoga! I tried como at forum, gonna try mother and child and compare..
 
bbshower, hahah... if bb intentionally bites, yeah, can be painful. Gotta teach baby not to bite in a way that they understand lor. Most times, if latch-on is correct, won't be painful one.

JoT, yup, used Avent ISIS Uno previously. I found it quite all right, except that it was a single pump so some wastage cos couldn't catch the leaking milk on the other side. My pump went into cold storage after i stopped BF. Took it out to check recently and found that it's died on me. Sigh... Anyway, I bought an Avent dual at the Taka fair recently.
Regardless of how much BM we have, would still be good to invest in a good pump. Think of it this way. With a good pump, it'll make it more comfortable and easier for us to build up the supply. If we get a pump that doesn't work well, then we'll end up getting frustrated more easily and chances of giving up BF are higher. Dun give up b4 even trying yeah?

Of course, do still latch on as well.
 
Oh, ladies, remember that if you wish to do total BF, must tell the nurses that after you deliver. Then they'll take note not to give your bb formula milk. Cos if you just say you want to BF instead of total BF, they might take it that you still want to supplement with FM and wld feed ur bb FM. At least that was how it worked in TMC.
 
Bb shower glad to hear that u r feeling better. Try to rest on left side when u r not sleeping so that can improve the blood flow to bb.

Joanne guess baby kingdom has the best offer now. Check out their website. $399 for ameda dual pump n free 1 ehp pumphandle and 2 freezer bags set.
Me still waiting to see if there is any better deal for it or not.
Guess its better to use first hand pump. But if u r buying a 2nd hand from your friend, n if she din use it many times, then gotta change the tube.
 
JoT, guess if you can get the secondhand pump and replace the parts that come into contact with BM, then shld be okay? If u're really not comfortable with the idea then get a new pump?
 
PSP, I don't know yet. Think will know during my next scan.

Good morning ladies! I am working from home today... But I feel even more stress! Haha... Like the insecurity of being away from the office.
 
Hi Koirc,

We are in the same week of pregnancy. May I know how you feel your bb movement? I don't think I feel anything special, it's like normal except tummy getting bigger. My detailed scan is early next mth and gynae visit too. Still got abt 3 weeks to go before I see my bb. It's such a long wait...
 
Ladies for me I bought a super soft pillow from spot light and hug it to sleep. Actually can Just 2 super soft pillow and hug 1on top and 1 bottom. Definitely cheaper than pregnancy pillow. The super soft pillow is for kid. Abt $19.90

As for groupon one, I don't think its good for me cos I need to hug pillow to sleep.
 
Sade - left already. But better come today cos got voucher 30 which u can use if spend 180. I see ppl grabbing pigeon wipes and baby safe stuff. Medela also 25% off.
 
Whiteclover How do u get the voucher? Cos my hb only rec SMS informing of private sales. No voucher given lei.
So did u buy anything? Which branch did u went?
 
Sade - just go to customer svc near the bed side and show them ocbc credit card. Went to centrepoint outlet.

In the end, I only bot one mustela cream for my sis.

A lot of things goood buy. Just that my hb not with me. Baby safe also good buy. Had my eye on the tiny love 3 in 1 napper.
 
Whiteclover Thanks so much for providing so much info. Yes will be going there aft work.
Went to WBB prenatal class yesterday. Did some exercise with hb. Gotta sit on the floor for the almost 2hrs 45min. So whiteclover, try to go earlier n take the back floor mat cos can rest on the cupboard for support. Or else quite siong to sit upright for the class.
 
Sade - thanks for the tips. all the participants came with hb? The exercises can do alone or need companion? Will be alone this week. Wonder if I shd find someone to go w me.
 
whiteclover, ya i rem u told me your hb is out of town this sat. Only 2 ladies came alone out of 28 ladies. So WBB asked them to pair together to do the exercise.
I also don't know if u can ask your friend to tag along cos it's only for hb. Maybe u call them to check.
 
Some of the exercise is to be done with hb's help, so can do it alone. Oh ya, she will teach hb how to massage for wife. N then also got the chance to touch other pregnant women tummy. hehe.
