It's really like fever patch, u put in fridge then paste it on your nipples to sooth it. Best to use together with nipple cream. Got other brands available out there also.

i understand how you feel coz 2 of my kids also had jaundice at birth. We rented the phototherapy bed for #1 and did UV for her. But you know, to be honest, I'd rather she was in hospital receiving the treatment coz' it's very nerve wrecking as we have to constantly watch for her. So when didi had the same issue (He was discharged and had to go back in again), we decided to let him receive treatment in hospital. Just that it's tiring for mommy because she has to express and bring it to hospital for baby. And you have to be prepared for baby to have some FM to supplement.

When you think in the big picture that it's for the good of the baby, then you'll feel better. Jaundice is really common. To keep baby's jaundice low, just try to put baby in sunlight and also cut down on ginger in your diet.

My #1 school now got quite a number of chickenpox cases which is very worrying for me because I'm worried she might infect her didi. She likes to be around him so much that it's so hard to separate them. Plus didi is still so young so he's at high risk. *sigh*

Praying really hard.
 
Just finished checkup and got the jab to strengthen bb lungs. Baby estimated weight at 36.5 weeks is 2.7kg. Likely to be 2.8ish at delivery which is about the same as my 2nd child.

Scan today was waster of time. Can make out head or tail what was on the screen......

Yikes. I've been hearing recently of chicken pox in a few pre-schools. My niece cc first started with chicken pox and now conjunctivitis. Super jia lat. The little girl can't even go to school.
 
He prefer I choose earlier date starting from 25th- 5th due to this being 3rd Cesar. Scared go into labour before the date n end up emergency etc.

The jab just precautionary as delivering before 38th week... Gynae say 1 in 100 babies lung haven't fully matured n required to stay in hospital extra couple days which will cost extra 1 k per day. So jab only $21 to "make sure".

Actually my first 2 I never took the jab so was also a bit hesitant but just went ahead. Didn't hurt though in the end.

Realised my delivery date is ur last scheduled checkup date before delivery too..

I decided not to scan anymore. The last scan at wk 35 doc gave me a ultrasound picture of the baby's spine...
 
Nothing to see already.. My last u/s was just printout of heartbeat only. Realised the abdominal circumference my gynae measured also not correct, he measured smaller area cos couldn't get a clear scan area. Then he also printed me a scan of the genital area which I can't see anything but black pitch
 
Snoweymum, yeah I think I shoulda anticipated! But think Ang in he general tend to do his scans very very quick hence always anyhow print give us.
 
Hi hope everyone is doing fine... I'm sure there will be many new babies soon!

I'm still in pain with the carpal tunnel syndrome on my wrist, on top of that, having piles that is so uncomfortable and to make it worse, my gynae said my stomach separated from the pregnancy and it may or may not heal on its own.. So I'm still trying to accept all these post delivery.

Advise to buy maternity pads to bring to hospital. They don't change u often, so better to bring ur own to change, more hygienic n also the pad they provide is the loop ones n very narrow, easily leaked. Personally, I think Maternity pads are better than the normal ones as it's softer, more gentle to the wounds.

If u r keen in bf, gd to bring pump. I hand pump my milk on the 2nd night... Quite tiring...

Lilacz, thanks for sharing! I have been thinking of what to pack.

Your tummy seperated? Is that why you were feeling vey uncomfortable?

Oh yah... For breast pump... The hospital don't provide for loan?
 
Hey lilacz, thanks for sharing. I hope you would recover soon, your wrist and your post delivery pain. I have bad memories, which hospital you delivered at? If bring own pump the nurses would wash & sterilise for us?

Stomach separated from pregnancy? Gosh, must be painful. I can't even visualize it. Hope and pray that it heals on its own.

I bought the maternity pads from Mothercare this time. Last time I silly silly go and buy the Kotex loop type. So difficult to use!

Mummies who need to do csec: please don't forget to pack in your abdominal binder. You'll need it to aid in walking and wound healing.

I've packed some stuff liao, pending new set of going home clothes for the lil one + my toiletries + medical documents. Don't think I'll bring my pump along.

I don't have carpal tunnel before, but had my wrist sprained and it wouldn't heal for a few months so I could imagine your pain. Is there any medication you could take to help you cope with the pain?

I didn't get the maternity pads. I just those super long ones with wings for night use.
 
I bought the Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter. First time using only, so don't know how good. Previously I got a type of oil came in a spray bottle which was free gift with the ameda pump, can't remember what brand but I used it minimally.

Jia you baby turned after all! Dun worry about sizing... Especially if you are planning natural delivery.
My boy was estimated 1.9-2 at 33.5 weeks and now at 36.5 weeks is 2.7 but I not worried... Think my placenta just not as hard working but so far all my kid never touched 3kg.
 
autumnleaf said:
Rainbowstarz: I think your boy will top the may 2014 baby's in terms of weight! Did you put on much yourself? I think ur placenta pass on nutrient very well coz I myself put on 15-17 each pregnancy but baby always take less then 3kg.

High chance your boy may be a 4kg er
