Is G6PD related to thalassemia?
Not sure on that though.
Is G6PD related to thalassemia?
Hi mommies, currently at hospital now and waiting for full dilation. Thk goodness epidural kicked in already, the contractions were coming hard and fast. I was 3cm dilated when I reached, and already quite painful. Finally my turn after being overdue for 4 days! Here's hoping for a fast and smooth delivery, wish me luck
Have a speedy n safe delivery!Today is my 2nd visit to LC, to clear the infected block ducts. LC say mine was pretty swollen and won't be able to clear within 1treatment. So this won't be my last visit. Actually if can, I wanted to go there everyday for treatment. The pain was juz too much to bear.
G6PD is different from thalessemia. But hubby and i are both g6pd deficient and we both are thalessemic minor (but different strands of thalessemia hence does not make our baby a thalessemia major which requires blood transfusion etc). Actually we have led very normal lives for the past 26 years and it does not affect our functionality. Just becareful not to take broad beans and be near moth balls.. And to avoid certain medicine. My girl was tested g6pd positive too bt didnt require phototherapy for jaundice..Is G6PD related to thalassemia?
Hi mummy, WA me at 92217257. Good cl to recommendMummies, does anyone have cl to recommend pls?
For yourself or friend? if friend, my current confinement lady is very good and available i think in Dec..rest of the month she is fully booked liao. her name is Auntie Annie. her number is 98914628Mummies, does anyone have cl to recommend pls?
same here. the hospital called to ask how am i and the BB . i am so shock by their call. never thought they will follow up.Any of mummies weight urself post-delivery? I straight away lost 6-7kg post, need to shed 4kg more yay! but now during confinement feels hungry all the time.. whacked all my confinement food..
Oh I suddenly rem, i received 2 calls from hosp where they asked if bb and i are doing fine.. if everything is allright. So sweet of them! But what if a lot of things are not allright? What can they offer? Hehe #just curious..
how do we go to polyclinic? Just walk in like that or need to call? i am comtemplating on if to go polyclinic or private.Go polyclinic for injections, for 5-in 1 shld b free, whereas if go PD u have to pay for all jabs. As for misc jabs, n rota virus, still have to pay, some can use medisave...
U know what ur hubby like my mum. I went to post natal check up twice. One is one week after discharge then another one week after the first post natal check up. Gynae ask me to come back in one month time after last visit. My mum told me why so many post natal check up? She said gynae want to earn more money.@isenggirl, me too. The hospital staff called me to ask how baby and I were doing too. May I know where you delivered your baby? Maybe same hospital?
I thought it was sweet of them to ask but my hubby said I'm silly. He said that if baby and I are not well, then the hospital staff will ask us to go back for a checkup and that's how they earn money back from us. Heh. Cheeky hubby to think that way.
Yah mine at TMC the brochure said there will be an angel calling on day 2 when u discharged from hospital. I guess day 1-2 after discharge is quite stressfull. Heard they will call again when baby full month.Any of mummies weight urself post-delivery?

@isenggirl, i gained 10 kg during pregnancy stage. After hospital discharge I lost about 5kg. Now only left 2 kg to lose.
Hubby a bit concern I did not eat well coz I cook myself and sometime still feel hungry. My milk production also getting lower and lower. Sobs....
@isenggirl , i gained 16kg fr whole preg. Waist line (belly button) from 27 to 38inch! Now left 5kg, but waistline 5inch more to lose too. Sad looking at the flabby fat tummy! Lol. 3rd delivery look worse. Hehe.

Dueing confinement i tot mummies cannot get hungry, if hungry must faster eat? U must be tired, doing everything urself, tat y can affect the supply. Slow down ur pace abit lor, try get help if can..... Haha now i know y u left 2kg to lose also...lol
Its good! I only lost 8 kg so far but I gain a total of 18kg throughout the pregnancy and still got 10kg to go... Sob! How I wish I can lose more weight! The hunger is pretty constant though. Keep eating alot of rice and not feel that full though..
@highness : I would suggest you to use the massage lady, cause I face the same problem with you and husband decided to use massage lady then LC cause he says that LC can't help much though. Done my day 2 massage and indeed its so much better now... The engorgement is gone and I feel that pumping is so much better. And for the first time, my baby managed to latch on me last night. Though I didn't do that everyday and pump to give her drink, at least I feel better now! The massage lady taught me how to ease the engorgement and the tactics to latch the baby which rather effective.
Ar.. First I Duno any breast massage lady. Then, mine is not juz engorgement or block ducts but is infected le. LC said cannot use warm compression as the infection will spread. Juz did my 1st massage today, told the massager my condition. She massage my the other breast but not the infected one as she use hot stone.May i know y will u choose to go LC to clear the blocked ducts, instead of massage lady? Cos LC visit quite ex leh...
Does it help or still painful?
its for me. i need her from 28 onwards for 1 month. i am looking for a CL for 2nd month confinement as it is a struggle for me to bf via pumping and managing bb. so hubby said get another CL. My current one already got a job so she cant make it.For yourself or friend? if friend, my current confinement lady is very good and available i think in Dec..rest of the month she is fully booked liao. her name is Auntie Annie. her number is 98914628
i book her for 40 days. she probably only finish in June le...like that cannot liao le.its for me. i need her from 28 onwards for 1 month. i am looking for a CL for 2nd month confinement as it is a struggle for me to bf via pumping and managing bb. so hubby said get another CL. My current one already got a job so she cant make it.
ah. i hate "hot" hotlines one le..grrrhhh...i discuss with my hub to see if go poly or private before i call the hotline...he is thinking of going private cos faster@newbiemom, if your baby is less than 2 weeks old, can just walk in to polyclinic. Otherwise,call the hotline to book appt. But need to warn you, the hotline is very "hot". I spent 15 mins waiting for somebody to pick up the call twice. So frustrating.
u all so good. my appetite back to normal. i dont eat much but drink more water only.Talking abt eating rice, me too leh!! Can eat 3 servings of rice meal a day. I thot only during pregnancy that I'll be hungry like a monster, now even worst than monster.
And nobody told me that can get hungry super easily if we are breastfeeding!
@highness den u nv take medication to clear infection? The LC Clara intro me to use Avent nipple cream for my nipple infection. But i din buy lah, cos got leftover of my old cream. But avent is gd for sore nipples. Hopefully ur infected breast able to heal soon, if not will affect ur one side supply. Bb can latch that side?
Yes my CL from pem. I'm so glad I have her to help out now especially when my mum has rusty skills lolWill call them tomorrow!
@BubsandBloms, hope ur bb will get well soon. I too was discharged earlier than my bb for few hrs due to his jaundice test but luckily he passed it n I went to pick him up on the same evening ytd. Don't worry, jaundice is v common. I failed territory latching in hospital n they actually wanted me to stay anther night while waiting for his test results but I refused to. I was still facing prob now coz only have colostrum but no milk. Pumped for half an hr each side but nothing. I just supplement bb with formula coz can't bear to see him go hungry n I think if I don't rest well I won't be good to look after him. I think if there's jaundice it's impt to let him poo n pee more. Jiayou!I woke it with bad news today. I was supposed to be discharged today when PD came in and informed me that my LO has G6PD. I have a family history of it, but still, the news hit me hard. As a result, my LO has Jaundice and has to stay in Hospital for another 2 more days. And so, I decided to extend one more night, after much consideration.
Also, I started expressing my milk today (3rd Day). I am still having colostrum, still waiting for the full supply of milk. Last night BF LO was a tough one. He keeps crying alot, so we decided to top up with Formula Milk today after each feeding and thankfully it worked.
Tomorrow, I will be separately from my LO for a night as he needs to continue to be in hospital. Just abit troubled on what to do with the feeding cos I'll be at home whereas LO will be in the hospital. =(
