The disposable panties are normal ones or are there any specific types for post partum? Think I saw disposable panties sold at Mothercare or such, are those the ones to get? Kotex night maxi is the one for normal cycles or do we get specific for post partum ones? Sorry so many qns as I'm really clueless and scared about this coz I'm a little ocd about hygiene and the load of bleeding scares me.
Oh ya! another thing! remember not to let anybody kiss your newborn! there was an article which one relative with cold sores kissed the baby and look what happened? I don't like other including my in-laws to touch the baby's face also. You don't know if they washed their hands after going to the toilet.
Thanks sia! Very blessed to hv this forum. I asked my mum but both her preggy were c-Sec and she said her bleeding only a week or so. Guessed like what the Channel 8 Chinese Programme last Fri mentioned that for c--Sec expect less bleeding than V birth coz doc would hv cleared some of the lining tissue during C-Sec.No worries laaa....disposable panties, for me, I got the biggest size (XL or XXL or free size). Cos can just throw away the panties together with the soiled napkins.
There are the maternity pads which you can get too, but like what Bunny said, could be very thick and maybe uncomfy. I used the Kotex Night wings. See pix below. Damn kiasu cos afraid to stain the bed ley
Must share share mah so that we can learn from one another to do better and to avoid the hard knocks wor
Gosh, yeah constipation is also another horrifying nightmare, even before birth so can't imagine how I will survive man
Got stool softener and load up on more veggies...the more you remove the bowels, the less toxins left in the body.

I just tell them straight that the baby has sensitive skin - don't touch the face and kiss him. They all know my pattern so not so bad. If not ok, don't pretend it's ok else they will think it's really ok
Remember I am the kiasu and kiasee type, my sense of security increases with the pad thickness
Hey Dawn! Have you felt flutters / movements already?I'm going into 16th week very soon! Hoping I can feel something and be able to identify that early too. Can't help feeling anxious and excited
Haiyo sometimes got feeling esp when lie down or sit in certain position but I'm not sure yet. It went away when I shift. No experience to tell. Also not consistent or frequent. I did try gently poking or pressing when lying down on my back and can feel responsive mild thumping or gentle probe. I choose to think that is bb lor to humour myself
Hahaha, so cute on how you put it "I chose to think that it bb lor to humour myself" - Ya la, it's not consistent, like fleeting and random. Sometimes you feel like gas, sometimes you feel like somebody gives you a gentle pinch from inside.Haiyo sometimes got feeling esp when lie down or sit in certain position but I'm not sure yet.

You must feel something le right coz 2nd time mummy more sensitive de
Yes esp between last week (16wk) and this week (17wk), like suddenly grew bigger and much harder over one week. Before that, not that obvious yet. Even my pilates trainer who saw me exactly one week apart commented. When she saw me at first at wk 16 last week, she didn't think I was preggy till she saw my record but she was surprised my bump became much obvious this week.
Hey Phantom, are you having a prince or princess?
Same as your wife if I'm not wrong -30 March
Yeah mine is confirm high not low. But mum said still look pointed than round when she saw me yesterday lol

Must really take care. I just read this article about this young guy who ignored a 8 months pregnant lady and refused to give up the priority seat he was sitting on the mrt train. You see lah...haiz
1st time moms bearing boys are usually more compact! What the hell, such people are damn sick lo! Pregnant or not, cannot push!
When such things happened, should we ask loudly for them to give up their seats?
Must be very assertive. I just tell them u sick, is it ok don't touch bb. A few incidents of friends/relatives infecting bb made me fiercer liao. Cos some ppl are not zi dong (i don't think they purposely wanna do it but prob they don't understand how vulnerable bb is).
Hehe thanks. Ya under Dr Tan. Get cheap thrill from seeing him during consultations lol. R u under him also?
Haha no...Mei. Gxgx to u!! Natural or???
Jiayou... Oh i realised we are cycle buddies. All the best!Hello mummies (to be)!! Hope I can join this thread.. BT on Tuesday. If all go well, this is my #3..
