Hi Meilynn,

I used nipple cream for the entire first month of breastfeeding and intend to buy one for my second one now. Just buy one tube will do because it can last a long time. And sore nipples won't last too long, only for the first month or so.

Havent buy nipple cream too, heard that lansinoh is good but not sure if i should buy or not, scare later never use wasted.

I heard lansinoh is good as well. But where can we find it in Singapore?

 

[Rukia]

I dont think so... maybe is just due to poor blood circulation..

Did you do anything to it? I still get it today. Painful....but my next gynae appt is next wk...

I really think we all can do it la.. Cmon if our parents can do it, why not us right? And i know for sure most drs will convince you to take epidural cause it makes thier job easier but i've told my hubby to resist it. I've seen my SIL suffer after she took epidural. It's been 5 yrs since she gave birth but she's still plagued with backaches everyday and she cant do housework for more than an hour cause her back would hurt so bad! We can do it la!!

Only at that guardian in Orchard? Wonder if i can get them to transfer it over to the guardian nearer my house...haha

I wanted to get Lansinoh's manual breast pump as well, is it available in Singapore?

With backache better not to use epidural? MY gynae quite pro-epidural as well. So I am still considering between taking it or not.

Hi,

I have done some research sometimes ago... haha very kiasu .. but not sure whether there will be any changes in price since there are new rules nowadays that the food need to be consumed 3 hours from the preparation and heard that most of the caterer has increased the cost.

Some of it really quite cheap but not sure of the quality and quantity...just for your reference only and do share if have any comment..

Since I have budget on it so I plan to DIY the red eggs and you can buy the Ang kuh keuh from some shops or even stalls from hawker centre.

You can talk to you gynea about it. During last visit I am checking with my gynea when is the suitable time to discuss the birth plan with him. His response is since I knew about birth plan so I must have done some research and study. He felt happy about it and said that I can discuss it with him during this coming visit. He also advise can download some sample from the internet and discuss see which one is applicable and which one is not suitable...
So it is better for you to check with your gynea.

I just do some massage and shake my hands (like swing it). Then I stand up and once the blood flood back to the fingers it gets better. It happen to me every night.. so sometimes in the middle of the night I need to repeat it a few times. Not sure what can be the right solution... Will check with my gynea again on this saturday appt..

It's called carpal tunnel syndrome... caused by fluid retention and pressure on the nerves. I'm also having this sensation, but mostly in the mornings after I wake up.

Can google the term and read more on it:

From what i have seen, the side effects of epidural is backache.. So, if you're already haviung backache, it might aggravate it even more cause its being administered right to your spine area u know..
