My instructor was impressed with bb coz it's his first time doing yoga with me and bb is very coordinated! Bb said it's because he play sports :)
She asked did he watch me practice doing yoga at home? (I don't practise at home.. :p oops!)
p/s: I can't do a head stand, and I am very impressed too! :)
Thank you to all the strong and wonderful staff at the Wellington Hospital too! You all are super awesome!

When you feel your uterus tightening up, your body is gearing up for
delivery. Irregular practice contractions can be first felt around
mid-pregnancy and increase in frequency and strength as your pregnancy
progresses.
How do you get to delivery? Practice, practice, practice. You might
not be ready for the baby just yet (still haven't picked out that
nursery color?), but your body is certainly gearing up for the big day –
and you're reminded of this each time you feel your uterus tightening
up.
What causes them?
Braxton Hicks contractions are a bit like a dress rehearsal: Your
uterine muscles are flexing in preparation for the big job they'll have
to do in the near future. Once again, your pregnancy hormones are hard at work, sending messages to your body to (very slowly) start the process of childbirth.
What you need to know
Braxton Hicks contractions can begin any time after week 20 of pregnancy, increasing through week 32 all the way until real labor starts. Many novice moms-to-be don't notice them as much (or even at all) or feel them as intensely
as those who are pregnant for the second time – but even first-timers
are aware of them occasionally. They start as a painless tightening that
begins at the top of your uterine muscles and spreads downwards. They
usually last about 15 to 30 seconds (but sometimes as long as two
minutes) and cause your abdomen to become very hard and strangely
contorted (almost pointy).
How you can tell them apart from real contractions
Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular and infrequent. Once you get closer to your estimated due date,
even these contractions become more frequent and intense – but while
these false labor signs can be hard to distinguish from real labor,
they're not efficient enough to push your baby out just yet. However real contractions
grow stronger, longer and closer together as you near labor; if you
notice this and other common labor signs you're likely all systems go.
What you can do about Braxton Hicks contractions
Drink up. Even minor dehydration can cause contractions.
Move. Try changing your position during a painful contraction — if you're sitting, stand up (and vice versa).
Visualize. Use these contractions as a chance to practice breathing and visualization techniques you've learned in your childbirth education class. (If your partner's around, make him practice, too.)
Welcome to my blog!
You can call me ksf if you like!
My real name is Shu Fen Tether.
I started using my artist name, ksf, for as long as i can remember.
My maiden name is "Koh", and in Singapore (where I am originally from), we put our last name in front of our first name.
Koh Shu Fen was my full name in the past, and that forms ksf.
My husband's name is Kieran Tether.
Kieran + Shu Fen forms ksf too!
We met in Taiwan Airport and the rest is history. :)
We currently live in Vancouver, Canada. And we have a cute, little daughter! :)
I enjoy drawing, pottery, hip hop dancing, writing stories, drawing comics and having intellectual conversations over a cup of bubble tea. :)
I am currently doing my own projects, like comics and drawing and also teaching drawing to kids at the same time!
I am available for commissions and gigs! Do drop me a message! :)
