88 Days to go

88 is a nice number! So there's 88 more days to go t the big day and it has been a long tiring day!

A toot took leave today while I took mc. :p We went to see the TCM again for our last dose of medicine to boost baby. Was very glad when he says baby is healthy and a very active baby! We really have an active girl! He says that the baby did absorb the medicine that I took, so, well done my sweetheart, good to know that we did not waste any money!

Some stuffs to note:

3rd Trimester
1. Week 29 to Week 31 - To walk more to aid delivery.
2. Week 33 to Week 34 - Increase frequency of birds' nest twice a week for development of baby's lungs.
3. Week 36 - To stop birds' nest after week 36.
4. Week 37 to Week 40 - Take young coconut drink once a week. Do not take the coconut flesh as it's really heaty.
5. Week 40 onwards - Avoid heaty food and tonic. Take neutral and light food so that the baby does not develop rashes when she's out.

After Delivery
1. Wear socks in the hospital to prevent wind from entering through the feet. *Extremely Important as it will affect the uterus*
2. No Ginger during the 1st 5 days after delivery. This is to prevent baby from getting jaundice.
3. Can start consuming ginger after 5 days or 1 week later if baby is cleared from jaundice.
4. Drink only Longan Red Date Tea. No ginger required. No water.
5. If breastfeeding, the breastmilk consists of 3 parts milk and 7 parts water, hence, there's no need for baby to drink water.
6. 1st Day of Delivery: To eat Threadfin Porridge. Just boil threadfin and porridge together without ginger. This is to help replenish liquid in the body. Can do without actual confinement food. It's also easier to digest after delivery as you will be really exhausted.
7. Any medicine given by the doctor to be consumed only AFTER breastfeeding.

If Lack of Breastmilk
1. 1/2 a portion of Threadfin Bone
2. 1/2 a portion of Green Papaya - remove skin and seeds
3. Boil both items together till white soup for around 1 hour.
4. To drink to aid the supply of breastmilk.

Loads to remember!

We went to the Toyogo warehouse to get storage boxes for baby's clothes and loads of other stuffs. Very worth it and so much cheaper. They had these purchase with purchase promotion where we could get toyogo boxes at $5!

Thereafter, it was hospital tour at Mt A after that so that there is no surprises when we admit. Haha.

I'm so extremely tired now but am very glad that everything went on smoothly for us. We only wait 1 hour at the TCM!

Baby is happy too. :p

Our loot from Toyogo!
