You can try papaya milk shake, beetroot/ABC juice or probiotic. Walk more for bowel movement.

How about drinking Yakult or Vitagen? I take that regularly and it helps

I went thru v v v constipation too. Mine was v v v hard stools even aft I had 3L of waters daily and fruits aft lunch. I have to use the 'pump' for excretion thru out my pregnancy. My bowel movements only resume to normal 6mths aft delivery.

try oats (half cup) + chia seeds (1 tsp) + fresh milk (1 cup) for breakfast in the morn. then drink more water thro the day. seems to work for me.
 
Thanks guys. I will try the oats method starting tomr morning.
Queensg- I eat alot of types of fruits depending on season. This week's fruits special were apples, oranges, water melon, flat peach (sweet type from spain), chiku (v sweet), mangosteen (v sweet), lychee (small seed type), strawberries, green Chinese pears n banana. My family takes fruits after our meal so each week we may need to buy fruits twice. N that is why there is a large variety in the house.
My mom insist I see tcm. My hubby insist I inform gynae tomr. Guess I will do all to have smooth bowels.
Parissa ling, I m afraid of using pump/fleet on my own. Sounds stupid but yeah I just don't dare.
 
Thanks all..I will take a look at those suggested.

Weather is getting so hot n humid nowadays. .. Can't image it's going to be worse in Aug during confinement where aircon can't be too cool n no direct blowing from fan.
I have super low tolerance for hot weather. :(
 
ha ha ha lucky you, I still don't know how it looks like. That's a cheap deal, think next time stick closer to you for offers :D, you better at me definitely at getting the good deals.
 
Btw ladies anyone buying air purifier for bb room? Haze might be coming back in next 3 months which is near our EDD so thinking to buy one for nursery. Anyone can share feedback on good air purifiers, thanks :)
 
@Seaturtle - bought already! Haha. Better buy now since there's so much stock.
I got a Philips that's got sufficient coverage for a living room (up to 55 sq. m). From best denki. Was $400+ or $500+.
I heard that Honeywell is not bad. Well. My dad says don't buy a purifier that comes with ionizer as its not good to have the ionizer within close proximity.

Our Philips is just pure purifier. Novita shouldn't be too bad either! Check how much the filters cost to replace and if they are easily replaceable.
 
@queeensg - thanks for ur promp reply dear. Ya I have the Sharp one already but I find that it's got ionizer and even if don't turn it out I find that there is a slight smell which took some time to get rid of. I like sharp's quietness and can off the lights completely and got rollers but the ionizer function is something I won't use.

Hence I'm also looking at other models - which model is your Phillips, can help me check? I researched and it says it's slightly noisier than Sharp which may affect bb sleep quality. I also looking at Novita which looks quite good too.
 
@Seaturtle - Philips AC4014-02.
We switch it on an hour at full blast before we sleep (when there's haze). Then switch off... Never switched on overnight before. Haha. It is noisy when full blast of course!
 
:( I wasn't around last year as we took a long holiday right smack before the haze came. Hope it wouldn't be that bad!! Hubs and I have sensitive noses...

Ya i heard it will be worse than last year so i have already started washing some of the baby's clothes, towels, pillow cases, bedsheet etc.

I have the Novita air purifier too. Hope it is not as bad as they anticipated.

Wah good to start early. I forgot the issue w clothes. They end up having burnt smell oso last year.

My sharp combined with the filter in aircon worked quite well to minimize the discomfort. But I only have one filter. Think I go n check out soon. Once the psi reading goes bad the stocks will disappear quickly !

So which purifier is good???

NEA got their own updated listing - have a look :)

I think the Phillips range is the most affordable one. The best one is IQ Air HealthPro 250 but it costs a whooping S$2,600 the last I checked. Hospital grade.

I like Philips, just the noise level bothers me :p. I read some reviews that the noise level is quite loud at night and cannot turn off the indicator. My current Sharp is very quiet even if turn on whole night (without ionizer - with ionizer it would be slightly louder I believe), and they have options to turn off all indicator lights. I'm still undecided btw both, so will go check out in the store and see :p.
 
Jo lin- I think I did experience bh though it may be mild. But its frequent and stops if I lie dwn on my left side.
My back is starting to ache more these days....
And my biggest problem nw is constipation. Called gynae n he asked me to drink lactulose. It helps! Saw tcm today oso n she gave me powder pill to lubricate my organs to pass out bowels smoothly.
Once I wake up at night I find it soooo hard to go bk to sleep. (Ie. Now) and worse of all, I m hungry! *darn!*
 
Visited gynae ytd, had a simple blood test (poke finger) n my blood sugar is at health level.

But during the scan, baby stomach is still bigger than his head. Even I had controlled my diet n only gain 1 kg for past 4 wks. While my baby gain 600g, he is 1.4kg now @ 29 wk.

Gynae said it's dangerous if baby stomach is bigger cos there might be chance tht the head is out but stomach cannot get out n might lost the baby.

I'm so worried :(
gng for detail blood test in 3 wks time.

Gosh, 2mths ago I gained 3.5kg, I got worried so I started eating yogurt. End up last month I still gained 3kg. I'm still worried but really difficult to cut down. Yet my baby is really super avg in wt (1.0kg @ 28wk). My gynae say now that I gained so much wt, in my last trimester I shld slow down my wt gain alrdy.
