Free Sample Review: Nestlé MOM & Me milk
Introduction MOM & ME is a specially designed & delicious formulated milk drink that is packed with important nutrients and BL BIFIDUS® for you and your child during pregnancy and lactation. During my last pregnancy, I did try many types of milk but most of it tasted nasty so I stopped taking powder milk. When Nestlé sent me this full size packet of their new milk, I immediately drank it and lo and behold I love the vanilla taste. It did not taste fake like many others I tried.

My Birth Experience of Jordan Lu
Finally I have some time to sit down and write this before I forget all the details. On 9 March 2012, at around 4am I awoken to slight contraction, initially I wondered if it was contraction pain at all because I was still in a dreamy mood. Then, after confirming, I quickly woke up and started timing my contractions. I found an app on the iPhone that is free and does the work great (review later). I put my phone to charge and jumped up everytime I get the contraction and initially it was like 7 minutes apart, which is actually quite close. I thought I was gonna give birth…
