Can I add some more questions to this, is it true that there is no need to bring anything for the baby? Will the hospital provide everything?Hi Shirley and other mummies who have given birth in Thomson medical, i would like to ask if it is necessary to bring along maternity pads? Do the hospital provide? I'm preparing my hospital bag now lor. Heard my frds saying Hospital provide those which is a loop type. Also does the hospital provide a special type of mesh underwear? Is it necessary also to bring your own sleeping wear? Thanks in advance!

I attended the child birth and child care education course from TMC. The instructor confirmed that everything that are needed for the baby will be provided for. I believe you pack according to the list given by their hospital stay guide should be fine. I have packed sanitary pads, disposable panties, my own pajamas and also breastpump and breast pads in case I need to pump in hospital coz I dont want to use the hosp one...(not sure will I have any milk then but just in case...) absolutely pack nothing for baby I believe they will give you lots of samples also so there is no need to worry lol...Can I add some more questions to this, is it true that there is no need to bring anything for the baby?

lol i am bringing an extension cable! coz both my hubby and i will be charging our phones, camera, etc so i think the wall socket might not be enough LOL...kiasuBreast pump may not be necessary cos the power puck is super not accessible. Haha.. and first few days no flow. I didn't BF during my entire stay cos too stressful. . No milk at all. I came home and massage on my own behind close door and bingo.. flow out and I manage to pump out. The consultant there will help u access whether u need any help on BF. My nipple too short. Need to have a nipple shield to help but baby is way too eager to have milk so latching on is not an option for me.. I can only pump.
I alr start drinking at wk34. . Should drink the green coconut which is less sweet n more cooling. Advised from my mum n other experienced mum.Anyone of you know when we should start drinking coconut water? My TCM doc ask me to only drink once on wk35 and wk36 and that's it. And to drink green coconut. Is that true? I see my frds drinking white coconut instead.

Hihi.. The loop pad is only for day one after ur delivery. U won't be wearing anything underneath besides the loop pad which is provided by hospital. Second day you will can change to ur own stick on pad. Its easier unless u know how to use a loop pad and wear panty. This is because u need to walk to circulate blood be it Natural or Csect. Stick on pad bring ur own pls.. buy those maternity kotex. Thick one.. Yes. Hospital provides a set of baby clothes and a wrap when ur baby can go home.. but I bring my own set of clothing for baby to wear home. Please also bring a set of newborn mittens and booties as hospital one are too big.. keep dropping. .[/QUOTE said:Thanks! Do you mean Kotex brand has maternity thick pads also? Wow I never know. It shld be cheaper right. Shall checkout the supermarkets later for that
Poohgirl.. yeap. Kotex thicker. If u start bf..the menses will be lesser.

I fm all the way in hospital. Told the nurse I have short nipple and no milk..no engorgement yet.. but I took FM and feed baby myself on day 2.
The shield does works but it will leak leh.. end up bb like pek chek to suck. Probably I am a FTM, so her cry makes me gan cheong. Lol. So I rather pump then latch. Pump at least I know how much intake. Latch I dunno she drank or not leh..
Day4. Milk supply still low...latching and pumping.. now can only pump out abt 10ml max per session...still working on it..
Giving fm also...
Is gd to bring 1set of baby clothes to hosp to wear when discharge...the ones that hosp give are new and not wash..
me day 3 now. also latching & pumping. supply juz starting to came in nia, only ~5ml per pump. sigh. lucky my #2 is still more interested in sleeping, so no need for fm yet. now doing power pumping to try stimulate more supply. hopefully supply can keep up when his demand starts increasing.
my csect wound still very pain. need help to even go toilet. dunno how to manage when discharge tmr. sigh.
congrats shirley =p she is such a sweetie =pI am still in TMC. Discharge only Sat. Maybe u will be my room mate. Haha
which hospital you in? so good nurse there put on for you..Did you use tummy binder, it helps me to get out of bed myself easily. Nurse put it on for me immediately after c-sec.

my gynae told me only can put bidder on 2nd day
Did the Gynae check if baby is engaged or if cervix has thined or dilated?Just seen my gynae. Bb already at 3.5kg at 38th week 5 days. Still no sign of labour. it is correct to still wait for another week now? My gynae says not advisable to induce now...may also end up c-sect...sigh
Pink yan can we request for papaya fish everyday in tmc?
last time mine measured at 3.5kg around 38weeks, also no sign of labour. Then gynae suggested c sect. Baby came out 3.3kgJust seen my gynae. Bb already at 3.5kg at 38th week 5 days. Still no sign of labour. it is correct to still wait for another week now? My gynae says not advisable to induce now...may also end up c-sect...sigh
Baby not engaged yet...he did not check for dilation...he said bb will only engaged just before delivery for most cases...Did the Gynae check if baby is engaged or if cervix has thined or dilated?
Sigh my gynae is like very indecisive...he has been suggesting me to wait and see for many weeks...I asked if I still can go for normal delivery or not he also cannot tell now...last time mine measured at 3.5kg around 38weeks, also no sign of labour. Then gynae suggested c sect. Baby came out 3.3kg
Same here. ..I also wish to know if there is any method to boost dilation. Higher chance of natural birth.Hi my one still not engaged n also not dilated..anyway to make it dilated as i realli hope for natural birth...
Maybe you should wait for 1 more weeks if you prefer normal delivery since you almost 39weeks alreadySigh my gynae is like very indecisive...he has been suggesting me to wait and see for many weeks...I asked if I still can go for normal delivery or not he also cannot tell now...
I guess it's because ur baby is not engaged yet that's y he think can wait further.Baby not engaged yet...he did not check for dilation...he said bb will only engaged just before delivery for most cases...
My mom said that's how she felt when she was about to go into labor..Mummies who r still waiting. . Do u have a constant feel like u need to shit?
My friends told me walking and squats help...
Not sure if it's true tho'.
