Pyng, I'm first time MTB.. Haven't tried anything haha.. Also heard that PISA has stronger suction. Actually had set my heart to buy PISA, but then was talking to my friend using freestyle who said its more portable, and also that stronger suction power may mean more pain also. Since I want something portable, and kind of scared of pain, I decided to go with freestyle in the end.. But if you have used Pisa and are ok with it, then not an issue for you! :)

GBOB, I'm buying all my stuff now cos my mum getting worse.. Later months might not have time to shop cos taking care of her, :). You can shop slowly! Long way for us to go!

ic ic...in fact i have consider freestyle too as it light, portable and quiet. However, i scare i not use to it since i used PISA leh.

PISA is more for seasoned mummies, the suction is stronger than freestyle. but freestyle is more quiet than PISA.

Agreed lor so will stick with PISA...
 


ya pyng, i have a freestyle, but somehow i feel not strong enuff hahaha! So when my colli say her frd is selling away her PISA, i fast hand fast leg grab, :p somemore she is selling 90% new set so cheap
 
Baby321, actually what does suction not enough mean? Is it that freestyle takes longer to empty the boobs or not able to empty totally? I just hope I can tahan to bf my baby for at least 6 mth.

Sweet moment, ligation is a minor surgery. If u doing C-sect, they will just do at same time. If natural birth probably can do later as day surgery. A clip is put on the Fallopian tubes, so no hormonal side effects like putting on weight cos its more like mechanical obstruction to ovulation.

I just bought my freestyle! Got a contact from gumtree.com.sg.. Apparently this lady selling a brand new local set for $550. Meaning local warranty. At first quite scared, not sure if its a scam., but it just arrived today in a sealed box, and everything inside looks intact and new. Also managed to register my warranty online at medela.com.sg.

But obviously I can't test it out now.. So just have to cross fingers n hope for the best when I get to try it out. I think that's the problem with buying stuff online. Although seems a bit cheaper but you are always a bit worried whether will kena conned or not..

Those interested to check it out can see here:

I'm going for normal unless need c-sect. By the way your pump is a gd deal!
 
baby321 said:
joy, sweet moment, for ligation, my gynae told me can do it when u stay at the hospital after delivery or 6wks later, i am still thinking to do during my hosptial or 6 weeks later.

Tis also apply for normal delivery? Donno pain anot. Because aft birth already pain. Don't wish for any additional pain.

Have u tried freestyle? Is the pump suction same as PISA? I used PISA for my lst bb...but that was my sis in law one. So now intend to get a new set PISA as i used to it. Heard the freestyle suction not as strong as PISA.

Wow... Is new to me to consume my own placenta. Visiting the websites that were recommended on the benefits, maybe I will consider. One question, if I m going to store blood cord, will I still be able to send my placenta to make capsules? Anyone has experience on this? Danlin: Me. I am going to store my baby's cord blood with cord life.
 
Re: Cord Blood Bank,

I recently just attend a health care workshop conducted by my own company. The trainer is a very experience agent. He mention about saving own bb cord blood. He say cord blood can only be stored for 21 years. If you have only #1 and #1 need to use cord blood due to sickness, eg leukemia, does it make sense to say that #1 own cord blood is also defect and not suitable to use?

He mention about storing it to public cord bank, they will store it and let who ever need it use the cord blood who ever is suitable for. Public cord bank is who ever needs it will use it first. We parents will not have any power over who can use my child's cord blood and who can't. We cannot make any decision.

Private cord bank is like cordlife, parents will have e power of who can use the cord blood of our child's or in another words, we can save it for our own use. *touchwood*

Initially, I really wanted to store both of my bb cord blood but upon listening to what he say, I feel also truth. If #1 needs to use the stem cell means the cord blood should also be defect as well Liao, isn't?

Guess I'll need to do more research on this area.

For those mummies who want to store your bb cord blood, maybe wanna ask the person more about this area as well.

Just my sharing in what I heard. :)
 
Exactly what I've been reading off the Internet. imho, I think it's not necessary

Yes full power haha & in fact i like use full force so that can suck more milk out. Err..i dun feel pain leh :rolleyes: could be due to the pump machine is old so suction is weak.

is not as strong as PISA but for first time mummy, freestyle suction power is bttr, I know some frds of mine feel the PISA suction is strong even if it is not full power.

I use full power for freestyle, maybe when i get the PISA, don use full power at first bah.

Wont take longer time to pump out the milk, no worries.

You can loan the breastpumps from hosps or get manual pump first, once ur milk supply kicks in and you judge if you need to invest electric pumps or not. best get dual electric pump.
 
Actually avent electric pumps also not bad, i used before, the tube got cushioning, so your breasts will be more comforty when pumping milk, suction wise, they are not as strong as medela freestyle.

Gal u can always buy pump later. Because at first our milk only come like few days later. But that time because my baby got jaundice so need to stay hospital. I use my pump to pump milk n bring hospital for her.

But hor don't scare no milk. We are mother by natural will produce milk. Juz latch n the supply will kick in. Demand = supply. I once read an article, a woman adopt the baby n wanted to bf so much. She pump till there's milk. So lets have faith in our body :)

End of the day even if u nv bf don't feel depress. Fm is just as gd. Rem to enjoy motherhood n baby grow up healthy most important. Drink fm or bm also nevermind.

Cel: I am still discussing with my husband if we should store the blood cord. Among a few of our friends, only 1 stored it. If wana donate, i think need to go for counselling first.

I agree that best to get dual pump. N a gd pump is important if u intend to bf for long term. At first I also scare no milk etc. juz buy Avent single. I pump till I wan vomit. Like whole day juz sit there pump n do nothing. Finally set my mind to buy freestyle n I regret not buying earlier!

Donating> I don't rem any counseling. I only rem need to do some paper work to authorize them to take your cord blood aft baby is born. N the paper work need to b done before delivery.

Think size of the bump is not really important. Some people's stomach are really small..especially if this is your first pregnancy. However if you feel any unease.. you can just drop by your gynea anytime..
 
Today come office.. my colleague went to Scholl Sales at Chevron..hmmm.. making me feel like wanting to go there to get some sandals... more money to fly away :(

Raineraine.. I also felt the same! I'm only 15 weeks though, but saw this 4 months pregnant lady with a prominent bump.. I just look like I ate too many buffets. I keep wondering if bb is ok or not. MS also subsiding, and I can't feel any bb movement yet.. My appt is in 2 weeks time though.. Long long wait..
