(2013) ivf/icsi mummies Support group

[pinkieberrie]

Hope, looks like we are more or less ready. As for confinement herbs n food, my mum settles them. So i just get room ready and cupboard space ready for bb stuffs.

Znatasha, since ur dh on small size then no need worry. Pumping bb up towards last tri can use durian. Also u try sleep on left n rest more. Cos i read in one of the threads in forum tat a mummy whose bb is small size. So she starts to rest more n slps on left more. Of cos take more protein then her bb wt increase in a week. Still got time to pump bb. You hving boy or girl?

 

[adejoy]

Wow, Hope... U are very steady and efficient! So well-prepared!

 

[hopeful_ting]

Reikibaby, yah think we are more or less ready Hee.

Joyfully, not steady lei... I KS only haha. Luckily there are gfs to advice me what is really necessary to get and what's not! Hee. When are you going for your BT?

 

[godislove]

whiteclover & eskimobaby, so can use from 1st trimester? I have been using even before i BFP but read on some websites that it kills good and bad bacteria so not so good.. dunno how true that is..

znatasha, yep totally know how you feel and i've only been away from work a mth plus.. also not sure how my body will take it when i go back to work. Hope everything will be ok..but of coz, baby comes first.

 

[adejoy]

Hope, my BT 2nd jan.

It's always good to be well prepared.

Think if I bfp, and am able to cross over the first tri, I will go crazy shopping for baby's stuff too.

My DH has already bought lotsa clothes from nb till 1 year for both boy and girl way before I bfp.

[dian_tang]

reikibaby: ya.. sorry maybe i use the wrong word, tummy binder?

 

[superwhitetiger]

Diantang - tummy wrapper sounds more christmasy!

 

[sade]

Dian tang, not necessary to bring tummy binder to hospital. Unless c section then have to use it. Think hospital will charge u if u wan to get from them.

I haven't started to pack my hospital bag! Whiteclover what's abt u?

 

[joannetph]

I have booked my c section date on 3/1/13.... Starting to feel nervous yet excited.....

 

[dian_tang]

Sade: oh I see . So for those c section sisters ya .

 

[superwhitetiger]

Haven pack yet. But planning to do by next week. My feet suddenly swell up overnight today. Had to call Thomson 24 hr to check with dr Marianne. Was told to go in to tts a&e if I feel any pain. Otherwise, she will see me this fri.

I hope all goes well.

 

[eskimobaby]

Merry Xmas everyone!!! Have a well rested holiday!

Whiteclover,
Hopefully it's just water retention.

 

[pinkieberrie]

whiteclover, hopefully like what eskimobaby mentioned, just water retention. maybe you google and see what can you do with the legs if its water retention. I read that some will wear compression socks and it helps.

 

[sade]

Whiteclover did u stand or walk too much? Me experiencing cramps these 2 days. Trying to rest as much as possible. Don't want 2012 bb.

Joanne few more days n u can see both ur bbs soon! Excited for u too! Keep us updated whenever possible.

 

[luvnhope]

Excited for u, Joanne!

 

[ginger28]

Joanne, so exciting. U would be the first in this grp to pop. All the best

 

[joannetph]

Thanks sisters

[usagi_2011]

Merry Christmas to all.

 

[sade]

Just bought my herbs! So happy! Finally bought everything. Now left washing n packing!

 

[usagi_2011]

Good for you, Sade. I spent yesterday and today just to tidy my living room. At least now presentable for CNY. Dunno is it sit on floor too long, my right leg cramp last night. Today still not feeling good.

 

[sade]

Usagi rem to rest for awhile when doing housekeeping. Rest 15min for every 45min of working. Don't over tired yourself.

 

[superwhitetiger]

Sade - u r well prepared!

Usagi - get yr HB to massage yr tired legs.

Anyone planning to do post Xmas online usa shopping? I am looking forward to it.

 

[usagi_2011]

Thanks Sade and whiteclover, he helped me massage abit. Just a tiny 4rm flat but living room can take me 2 days. Gosh. I have not tackle my study room yet. Hope to tidy up a bit b4 cny and hope that bb can stay in a cleaner and neater house in Apr 13. Kiasu me.

 

[tara1]

All the best to u joanne! You are going to be the 1st to deliver in our grp! How exciting

 

[joannetph]

Thanks Tutu

Looking forward to my D day!

Sade - I have bought my herbs too. Spent around $200....

 

[sade]

Joanne did u bought sheng hua soup? Me too spent ar $200+ on herbs.

 

[joannetph]

Sade - nope. I bought herbs only. The CL will cook for me...

 

[pinkieberrie]

Sade, will you be bringing pyjamas to wear during your stay in hospital?

Usagi, leave the cleaning to hubby. Heee...and try sitting on stool or chair. Avoid sitting on floor, cos i find it difficult to stand up from floor. If on floor, i will try get dh to 'carry' me up so that i wont have to exert much pressure on tummy area.

Me and dh too spend my sunday clearing our storeroom so that can dhift stuffs from study room to store room. This week need clear my wardrobe to make space for bb clothes.

Regarding bb clothes detergent and utensils cleaning, what brand are you all getting?i think theres Pigeon brand. What other brands ah? For bathing, are you gals using Johnson?

 

[superwhitetiger]

Reikibaby, for clothes detergent, I ordered babygaia from iherb

Bottles cleaning - pigeon

Bathing - planning to use qv oil for body. Desitin for diaper rash. Lotion - not sure yet, maybe California baby.

 

[lil_ponyo]

Joanne, wishing you smooooooth delivery! Congratulations on your graduation!

 

[sade]

Reiki baby, yes I will bring 2sets.
Bb detergent I use Kodomo.
Bottles cleaning pureen.
Soap n shampoo using earth mama angel baby.
Avent magic cream for body lotion.
Not using any Johnson products.

 

[usagi_2011]

Reiki baby, I bought mostly pigeon for washing body and hair as well as clothes. I also don't intend to use Johnson. Both hubby and I got eczema, so I worried abit for our bb.

See how it goes. Can't rely on hubby alone as he is suffering from severe outbreak of eczema. His skin cannot tahan the dust. So I must help. I haven clean study room too, too dusty. I must wipe first b4 I enlist his help in keeping in cupboards. Today come clean abit of my mum's living room b4 I go back to work tml.
