Hi baby apples!! Congrats!! Can see ur bb soon!!
I had my Csect at TMC on 8 nov ... They will prep u for the Csect in the ward by shaving your pubic hair (if u Hav any) .. Then they will insert a pill for u to pass motion... After that they will wheel u to the op room.. U opt for GA or spinal? I was on spinal ... The op itself is very fast! In the op room, they inject the spinal n the urine bag, then 5 mins later dr will start the op and within mins can see u bb.. The doc will bring ur bb to u; the nurse can help u take quan Jia fu ... Then they will clean the bb and will bring to the nursing area to weigh/ warm the bb with ur hubby following them [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif])
U will be wheeled later to your ward (still cant move at this moment) and u be still in the hospital gown (without underwear) w the urine bag and painkiller drip .. U be bedridden e entire night.. and the nurse will put the pad for you.. My bb was out at 4pm and I saw her again at 8 pm for 1st feed. Tell the nurse in advance if u like to full BF... Every 4 hrs, the nurse will come change ur pad, chk ur pressure and wipe ur body...
The next day after dr chk that everything is okay, the nurse will take off ur drip n urine bag n uexpect u to get down bed n they will take off ur gown for u and u need change into your own panty n pj... They w also ask u to pas urine on ur own n inform them if u managed to do so .... U may want to request for a binder if need... Before u discharge they will also chk that I pass motion at least once else they will insert the pill for u to pass motion...
I stayed at 4 bedder upgraded to 2; paid cash of 2.2k for induction n Csec for 3d4n...
Also, bring along ur original rom cert so that u can register for bc at TMC ... Heard the q quite long .. Will take few hrs.. Else do at ica within 14 days u can the bc on the spot.
Every morning there will be a pd coming by to tell I the bb's progress... After discharge, they will assign the pd to ur bb n make apptm for u to see him/ her at his clinic... We didn't went to the assigned pd; went to polyclinic instead .. I feel just as good

Sorry my notes like a bit messy ... Oh yah TMC will give mommies a small bag w toothpaste/ toothbrush, small towel m
Shower... Remember switch the tap to warm water when washing ur hand ;pp n try not to drink plain water.. Ask for milo
) dun need bring bb stuff if u dun mind bb wear their clothes when discharging ...
Ask for milk samples/ glass bottles when discharging
