Phoebii...constipation quite normal... something to do with blood mostly going to the uterus and away from digestive system, also cuz we take iron supplements. I also have more constipation now... just trying to eat more veggies and fruits, kiwi fruit helps and prune juice too.

Arnav, I got free samples of Similac mum but haven't tried yet. I'm v skeptical of the taste of powdered milk... and my gynae said actually with the pill supplements I'm taking it's enough... I can drink my fresh milk! :) I actually grew up with powdered dumex milk but after having fresh milk, powdered just doesn't taste the same...

Phoebii, please don't say that. Baby is a gift to you and your hubby. and most of us go through the same as you. I cannot pass out gas too, and I can't even burp. So i know exactly how you feel. i'm been applying the 'ru yi you' daily and some other version of 'qu feng you' but no luck at all, the gas just cannot come out. So I can only console myself saying that my tummy and weight gain are not really fats it's just gas so at least after birth gas is easy to lose. sounds dumb hor. Hahahaha.

I used to be able to empty my bowels daily without any problem, nowadays it's every 2-3 days. if by day 3 still cannot i'll start to eat more fruits. taking honey + warm water also help me.

flowerie I dun know leh. nobody say cannot and I don't feel unwell after that so I don't care already just don't apply too much. and now since it doesn't have any effect on me I seldom apply already. but I continue to 'smell' the oil cos i find it very comforting.

can try drinking Gaviscon, to relief the bloatedness..its safe for pregnant woman...was prescribed by my gynae..can also purchase from pharmacy outside.

Btw, would like to know the reasons why you mummies choose 1 or 2 bedded wards? is it worth it to have hubby stay over at the ward?

thanks lltan!
the bloatedness seems to be getting better *cross my fingers*
but maybe can buy a few to stand by.

I chose 1 bedded during my #1 time, n glad that hb was around cos i had a emergency csec.

Rachie82: Enjoy Europe! Which part will you be traveling to? So exciting! All that shopping!!! so much cheaper to buy luxury goods and baby stuff there. I was in London, Manchester and Munich earlier this year. Glad I did that trip before getting pregnant.

Jadeite: I did Taipei with my family 3 years back. It depends on whether you enjoy the Taiwanese culture and food. I didn't take a liking to the food though. My husband on the other hand, likes Taipei. But i'm sure you will enjoy the trip nonetheless. just relax and enjoy the vacation before you embark on your mummy duties.

I used to go to HK yearly for shopping. Stopped doing that 3 years ago. Spent more time traveling in the U.S, Europe and Korea during these times. I'm looking forward to the good food in HK. Really missed that!
allie : me going to Italy, france and Switzerland...
