ya . yest i just told my mum dont cook so many ginger foods for me especially my aunite teach her cook fried egg with ginger n add in the rice wine like soup dish. she cook me last confinement i eat til i want vomit.

She nag at me say i'm so fan, ask me gv her a menu daily then she cook what i want to eat. lols..

haha you can do this to your own mother .. i cant .. my mother in law doing confinement for me .. i have to eat whatever she cooks .. and she eats ginger too .. cham man ..

i also can't see it until yesterday when my hubbie playing my bump then he found out bit of stretch mark @ bottom of my bump...
go down to orchard to buy the clarins tonight ... just dont't want it to get worse.

bottom of the bump! places we cant even see! it's selling at $82 right?

EXACTLY!!! Zzz.... *roll eyes*

She insisted to put it in even though I protested so much... It was so spicy, how to drink??? After drinking, my tongue numb and I keep perspiring... Confinement period already so hot lor... Zzz... She said LAST TIME their red dates tea is like that de... So that can remove the "hong" inside our tummy fast fast... Then my MIL told my mum that ginger can put a lot in the food I having and already enough mah... Why red dates tea also put? MIL also drank and commented that really cannot "ru kou"! It's really terrible... =x

So in the end, because I did not want to disappoint my mum, I will tell her I got drink the red dates tea but secretly drink water lor... She also know de lah cos the flask always so full! LOL! =x

this time round let your mum know no need to put ginger inside. just red dates and logan. or ask your hub to prepare for you instead. is quite terrible le... cos really no need to put ginger inside

LOL! Ya ya... Good idea to keep one at each place... =)

Ours is tough stain and long ago stain that's why must soak and scrub hard hard... Like I said, for you, just use it for baby's poo poo stain... Very effective and clean... That one I swear by it... Haha! =x

NOTE : I am not a spokesperson from Pureen nor associated to any of the people who manufactured this product! Haha! =P

yea lo... luckily i bought 2 boxes just leave one at each place la. got use then use lo never use then never use.

yea lo maybe use for poo poo stain. but mum is quite stubborn though! told her when baby J poo poo and sometime yellowish hard to wash off this detergent can helps
she told me "ai no need wan la won't stain de"

Hey ladies

Talking about washing, during confinement and after, r u going to hand wash your clothes since bb clothes can't mix with adult?
My friend told me can get a mini washing machine just to wash bb clothes, have u heard of it or u using it?

i think maybe i will put in washing machine and wash with baby detergent. i don't think there's a need to get a mini washing machine le...

the cramping part i agree .. somehow it doesnt look that spacious to use till the child is bigger .. i havent tried the wheels haha. hopefully this weekend hubby and i can decide on our stroller already ..

do you mean its harder to push if the baby is forward-facing? i find it a bit odd when we push the stroller and baby's facing me .. lol =X maybe its just me ..

when i got preggy and didnt know i was still drinking koi every other day! then later i tested positive i was super paranoid, i kept praying for baby to be healthy ..

and i drink mac's green tea quite often too lor .. weather so hot .. a cup of ice green tea is very welcoming leh ..

i think is harder to push if baby is facing you. Angie did help me explain the difficult part already yea. but actually i like combi is cos of baby can face me.
but then when looking at the space is abit cramp le. that's why i drop out combi and got mc claren in the end. after all, mc claren can be use till quite big.

don't worry your bb will be healthy and fine! i also drink milk tea now and then ;p and i super love green tea! before i tested, i also cold drink every single day till i tested positive. but actually dunno somehow my body is telling me to stop and careful when that time of period... hmmmm

[missesjoanna]

whoa! didn't come in for the weekend so many pages already!

lol. DD was had high fever during this time. Had to keep waking up in the middle of the night to tend to her.

Just tolerate for 1 month. I heard some people even had to do their confinement for 3 months!

how's your daughter? today then free to come in forum and check out posts. hope she's getting much more better.

yea i also heard some people doing confinement for 3mos! my mum asked me to do for 40 days! NO WAY!

i went to read nov 2011 mummy thread and happened to read about the delivery process. a bit the scared

Like what Angie say don't read or listen too much labor stories. will only scare you. i also try not to listen to stories on csect. so relax yourself okay

haha cold drinks are really hard to resist. i usually stop drinking about a week before my period is due or i'll have super painful period ..

i agree mc claren can use till quite big .. i saw kids about 4 or 5 years old still sitting in them! hahaha. that's a lot of savings liao leh!

hahah my mom bo chap one, she will puts lots of ginger, my freind recommend me to buy at lucky plaza , she said cheaper .. only 60

ginger scares me .. 5kg! damn .. like a sack of rice .. =\
i bought the oil from tins and bottles in tampines, as i work and stay near the east .. it's $61.50 ..

any mummy try clarins huile tonic oil to prevent stretch mark??

i m using cocoa massage cream now and i still get a bit stretch mark .. so sad ... wanna to change it to clarins

clarins huile tonic oil is it the yellow glass bottle? got ginger smell? if yes, i have it and when i apply on second tri is quite hot le. and SA told me to apply after shower on damp body and no rinse off! but my friend told me is a MUST to rinse off. so end up i never use.

i only using Clarins stretchmarks cream and now using palmer cocoa butter and stretchmarks still there.

actually, u need to start applying on 2nd tri twice daily. can't totally get rid but can helps you to lighten.

anyone heard of Bio-oil? i feel like trying le heard good comments from some mummies.

i heard many ppl telling me about double bill also if we opt for natural but later got to go c-sect leh ..

aiyo .. hope you feel better now .. in my first trimester my tummy bloat very badly every night. i apply ru yi oil .. i guess its ok since after babies come out of the womb the also use ru yi oil one .. it does ease my bloatedness .. otherwise i dont think i can sleep lor!

yea i also heard abt double bills too. if go for natural and end up with complications then to emergency csect cfm double bill.

i also don't dare to apply anything around my bump unless is stated safe for pregnancy. maybe will worried la... keke
