Rostrum, yes, will rest. But I hv been out since 9am n still outside... 
Gan, there's a no of flu bug around so our body needs to be strong n has higher immunity so that we dun fall sick. Next time, when u r pregnant, then share with u more on wat to eat. Bb born strong also give us less headaches. Coz bb wun fall sick so easily coz he or she has a good base to start with already.

I agree with Hazel that a healthy pregnancy means healthy baby. After they are born, if you can, breastfeed exclusively in the 1st 6 months and continue for another 1 year or longer. Really make a big difference in baby's health besides saving money, time and mummies goes back to pre pregnancy weight without dieting.
Hi Hazel and ladies,
Today's 2nd scan shows some improvement in the follicle sizes. Largest being 13.5mm so still need to continue for 2 more days of Puregon before the 3rd scan on Mon. Nurse Sara discouraged me from getting another bottle of Lucrin and is quite confident that it'll last me at least 2 more days so I'll only get a new bottle if it runs out by Monday and if I still need to continue Lucrin.
nctgrace,
Congrats on moving on to the next stage! Care to share the average sizes of your follicles and thickness of the lining? Can't help but feel excited for you too!
Hazel & Gan,
The spotting I mentioned only last for 3 days from CD 8 to 10, and it stopped a few days after I started on Puregon. Good that you don't have it
I also experience some 'suan suan' feeling at times. Only feel slightly bloated on and off.

gan, the nurse will also ask u again after ur delivery when u r warded. Coz if u r breastfeading, u need to start the bb straight after delivery though ur milk supply has yet to start. for a start, bb will just suckle the nipples, let bb get used to it... milk supply will start to kick in slowly abt 2 days after delivery. N bb can just drink water initially. If u r breastfeading, some of the nurses wun give the bb the milk bottle, she will feed with spoon. Coz milk bottle, liquid flows easily, breastfeading bb need to suck n use more strength.
One prob of breastfeading is engorgment. So u either pump or feed. If not, u will feel terrible. Some put lettuce on their breaSts. Yes, u will be surprised that stops engorgment but will cut ur milk supply.
bathing bb is not difficult. Now, dun think so much. Get pregnant first n prepare for motherhood.

gan, even breast pump got a few brands. The really good one is fast n cause dun cause much discomfort. But they r not cheap. Not sure how much it cost now, a few yrs back, a good electric one where u can pump 2 at a time cost 600 bucks.
Muski, jiayou! Soon it will be ur turn. did they up ur puregon again?

Rostrum, most chicken essences hv little chicken nutritions inside. N most contain stabiliser n carMel which are no good to the cycle.
Also, herbal stuff also cut down. Like herbal chicken soup. Coz most contain dang gui. When cannot be taken if newly pregnant. U ask Tcm doc she will share with u more on that.

When my baby was born, I let him suckle straightaway after he's cleaned up. Newborns are alert in the first hour after they are born. They need to learn to suckle.
I told the nurses not to feed my baby any formula coz I read babies have reserve when they are in the womb and it can last for a few days outside the womb which means they can go without milk for the next few days. I requested the nurse to bring in my son every 2 to 3 hours after delivery to let him suckle my breasts so that the flow comes in faster.
No water should be given to baby under 6 months unless your doctor tells you so. Water can be harmful to young babies. Hiccup will stop by itself.

yes, these days doc these days will say no need to feed bb with water. Just milk will do. Not all things on website is accurate. But still need to take a bit of water. Water is not harmful just not much nutrients. Also from 6 to 8 mths onwards, in addition to milk. Bb need solid food to grow n for the brain to develop. Ask the PD, he can share more next time. ur own mothers can also share with you.
Anyhow, that is how we r brought up n the kids at home. I seldom fall sick easily. dh can get sick but it wun spread to me.. Same for my colleagues. Even when am sick, I dun take antibiotics coz I dun believe it that. My body needs to be strong enough to fight the virus. shld not rely on antibiotics to do it... I know some cannot One, coz no antibiotics cannot recover..

Rostrum, all the information we share are for ur reference next time. Dun completely trust including website info. End of the day, just ur own judgement. Ask ur mum or those closer old folks how they bring up their children last time. Pp of last time are very capable. No helper but yet they can bring a no of children. No need epidiual can go through labour pain. Very impressive n strong
Hazel,
I checked with a PD in KKH when my son was having hiccups. She's the one who told me that baby under 6 months don't need water.
Even when baby turns 6 months and under 12 months old, you can't give large amount of water to him. Kidney is still small and it can cause water intoxification which can lead to death if too much water is given at 1 time. There was an article published in ST either early this year or late year.
Your mother or any other elderly can tell you "I gave baby this and that, and nothing happen" They are just lucky that nothing happens to the baby.
A gf told me her MIL gave half boiled egg to a young baby and he had a severe allergy reaction soon after. Was rushed to hospital in time. Fyi, give hard boiled egg yolk when baby is about 9 months old and egg white when he turns 1 year of age. Never give undercooked egg to a young baby. Her MIL also told her to give honey to her young baby. Honey is like poison to a baby under 1 year of age.
My mother told me she was clueles about babies. Only learn from what her mother told her.
