Hmm, interesting article! I guess like what is stated, moderation is the key so one cup a day should not be that bad :P and if MTB is having a gal, it seems like she could drink all she wants LoL. However, I was told by my mum that soyabean milk is too "cooling" for 1st tri..

There's suzuki coffee and Nescafe Decaffeinated that I know of. There may be more brands in those western style supermarkets like Jasons etc. HTHs.

Yea, Aug'08 and the pads were string type ones. Like what HoneyLicious mentioned, just in case if what they are providing now are the string ones, you may wanna bring some of your own if you are not used to it. Though it is true, most things could be conveniently purchased from the shops in...

Yea, I had the same pain too coz not only added weight of baby, body is also slowly making way for delivery later. For me, I had terrible backaches as well so I bought a hot water bottle from pharmacy and place it on my back/ tailbone area in the nights. It did not eradicate the problem but it...

It will depend if you hv emptied your bladder fully coz if u didn't, sometimes the remaining may just leak due to the expanding uterus pressing down on your urinal tract. Also, did the liquid feels thicker than water when you touched it? If it is thick, it may be water bag leakage.. Anyway...

Oops, I learnt something new today LoL. Hmm, if menses come straight after lochia, how to tell it apart? Could it not be some remaining/ leftover lochia?

Mm frankly speaking, 3 cups is really too much. If u r a coffee addict, why not give decaffeinated coffee a try? It may just help to satisfy your addiction during pregnancy and at the same time, not affecting your little one?

Erm, I too have not heard before that it is no good to consume too much soyabean milk if carrying a boy so what is the rationale behind that? I drank it everyday while in my 2nd n 3rd tri, my boy came out fine and fair (people can't even tell his race hehe). xicloudix, like what most say, u...

Yes, the chemicals are not only strong in terms of possibly travelling to the baby, just the MTB breathing in the smell of the chemicals is already harmful enough.. So like what the rest advised, beauty can wait for now :001_302:

Hi iwan2noe, Yup, yup, that's what I heard from some people too. When I was bf my son, initially I didn't know and was consuming large amounts of ginger and eating things with a lot of sesame oil during 1st week of confinement. My son's jaundice worsened. After a nurse told me that jaundice is...

Yea, the maternity pads that they provided were the string ones and I brought my own self adhesive maternity pads. They also provided me with a pack of disposable undies when I was there Aug last year. Unsure if this was part of their samples packages which should be subjected to changes...

My menses lasted for more than a month as I was on confinement food. My mum added a lot of black fungus in my daily meals so it was clearing the blood clots which I had quite a lot.. After the initial bulk, I didn't have menses till about 3 mths later when I started to partially express...

Wa, you are a super mum and must be real tired too. I salute ya for having 3 kids. My greatest fear is that when I have a 2nd child, he/ she will be like my son or possibly even worse.. Then I will really die of exhaustion haha..

Yeah, the on duty doctor asked me the same thing during my delivery so I honestly doubt the accuracy of the CTG machine haha. Well, at least you have got pain relief and epidural. I was giving birth prematurely so they didn't allow me to have any pain relief or epidural :( Initially, I just...

Oh my and I thought my case was bad enough but your princess is really extreme. As in she power snaps for less than 45mins and still wakes up if she is not fed in the nights. Your little one is definitely very energetic and active :) Yeah it is scary coz for my son, regardless of whether I feed...

LoL yeah, some people also advised me not to let my son sleep in the day so that he will sleep throughout the night. Likewise, it didn't worked for me :tlaugh:

Hi izanyzam, I feel the same about "meeting" a no. of nice mummies like yourself :) Once again, no prob gal. I see a change in your mood, dont stress, dont stress ok? All will be well.

Very well said gal. :) The beauty of motherhood makes most MTBs more sensible and less wilful. At the end of the day, we are answerable for our own actions and we are "housing/ housed" our babies so we should be responsible to shelter them from any possible harm as well, to the best of our...

It is not advisable to bowl while preg coz there is little difference between carrying heavy things/ weights and bowling. Even worse if in 1st tri coz not past the danger period yet as preg is still very unstable. You may end up over-exerting your back and dont't forget that especially during...

Yeah, I had to walk away most of the times when he was poked for blood initially. Then later on, I just told myself I need to be brave for him so I just held back tears each time he cries. Yes thank goodness, he is doing fine now :) Np prob gal coz my son went through the trauma coz I ate...
