Just to check for bb w jaundice, is It necessary to go for further check ? Bb went to check up after discharge from hospital, tested jaundice level at 12.4. The doctor nvr request for further check already . Ask me to continue to sun her. I m thinking, how to know if the jaundice level is ok now?
Where did u go for the check? Is it possible to walk in to any Polyclinic? She was 12.4 on 7th day. Today she is two weeks old. I can't tell from her appearance leh, no doubt she don't look yellow. Her whites of the eyes are clear thou

Sorry, unable to open the link. Which brand u using? Actually my milk supply is not that much yet.. Just that now I have to store my Breast milk as my LO still have jaundice. So I feed my LO 20% of BM & 80% of FM. Those extra BM thinking of keep it till her jaundice level totally drop to safe level then will feed her.
@popie, u mean baby facing sideway, the labour will take very long?? My baby is facing sideway i believe coz he always kicking of of my side.. im week39 le, still no news yet too.. planning to request doc to induce on the 2 or 3 days earlier...
Jaundice cannot take bm??
My little girl is having jaundice too. The pd told me maybe due to insufficient fluid cos she is bf and suggested to supplement with fm. Im fine with the idea but still will express bm for her. I would still like to latch her on cos latching simulate more than electric pump.@verine22
I heard if baby have jaundice, reduced the BM & feed more on FM every 2 hours. Doc did mentioned before too. It will helps to reduce jaundice level.
CONGRAT!!!! Yes most importantly is bb is safe and healthy!Popped today, 8 oct at 3.42pm. Baby's weight 3.215kg. Vacuum delivery but nvm baby come out safely can Liao

Thanks lala.
So when you in hospi, dont need to latch on at night??
My little girl is having jaundice too. The pd told me maybe due to insufficient fluid cos she is bf and suggested to supplement with fm. Im fine with the idea but still will express bm for her. I would still like to latch her on cos latching simulate more than electric pump.
My first time trying to express milk (3rd day of delivery) via electric pump is quite demoralising cos is like after 30min from each side only has 10droplets collected in the bottle. Imagine my girl drinking only that amt for the past few days. However, I was reminded that the newborn was fed every 2hrly to that amt. Hubby also reminded me not to be so stress abt bf. Will be getting fm for her once she discharge while I try to latch on/express milk.
Lactation consultants told me if I want to continue to latch on, for fm try to feed by using cup feed, syringe but not bottle feed.
I will still continue to express milk while LO is hospitalise to simulate milk and prevent engorgement. I threw away those droplets of milk too
Totally understand. My #1 also. Need to force her to open her mouth. Need to sometimes use nipple to tease her to open. Or tickle side if mouth. I was latching with sore nipples. I think I was really quite stubborn then. I tolerated the pain n continue to latch. In between feeds just keep putting nipple cream. Actually you can clean your nipple after feeding then squeeze abit of fresh milk out and apply around your nipple. Helps to heal quickly. Natural moisturizer.For me is different.. my girl refused to open her mouth big. . So latching on is a prob.. and bcos of this my nipples are always sore and she din get a single drop of milk
So i express out my bm and bottle feed her and i went to see lactation consultant too.. but she still refused to open her mouth big.. and she is impatient.. maybe because she is used to the flow fr the bottle. So now I'm giving her bm from the feeding cup.. will try to latch her on when i gather enough courage to try again..
@popie, I still can drive but hubby said I road hazard. Lol. I m on hospi leave but like u say weather v hot and not a drama person so time really passes slowly. Still working from home.
Angel, I hardly use milk bag as my no. 1 don't like the thaw taste. Some bb r like that. Prefer fresh milk.

This is my #2.. i dun hv issue with my #1.. and i enjoy bf my #1.Totally understand. My #1 also. Need to force her to open her mouth. Need to sometimes use nipple to tease her to open.

Once bb learns how to latch will be a breeze. Be encouraged. Your first time feeding, also bb's first time latching. Both of you are new. And you are a team. Talk to bb when you latch. And most importantly don't give up. You will be surprised at her response. Very rewarding.
The thing I look forward to is breast feeding. Although I only had enough supply to last 7mths for #1 & #2 but I totally enjoyed the latching process. Somehow I feel very close to my kids. Hehe.
Mine different leh.. i went hospital at 6.30am and they inject the med to make me poo.. then put me on drip at ard 7am.. contraction started soon after that, my gynea came duno wat time and break my water.. i know it is very painful.. but duno whether he insert his whole fist.. then contraction became very frequent and intense and pop, my bb was out at 9.31am with a minor tear.Thanks @angel_loi @lala @beac @verine22 @littlefish866 @Rhonna!
@verine22 I was admitted at 9.15am then dr Adrian came in shortly to break my water bag >.< damn pain! the whole fist go in (hope I don't scare anyone off). But he was nice to say sorry, ask if I'm ok. After that, a senior nurse came to shave and inject the medicine to soften the stools. Then I went to pass motion and went to the delivery suite to wait Liao. That was around 9.45am. They inserted the drips then contraction started every 4 mins once. Pain threshold was about 2-3 out of 10 then I requested for epi when it got to 7-8. Then a doc came to inject the epi around 11.45am. Dilation was at 3cm from the time I admit until about 3.25pm. Then they checked one more time say almost there and quickly prepare to push Liao. Dr Adrian came in about 5 mins later then the whole pushing process started and out came baby at 3.42pm with the help of vacuum coz I couldn't feel anything coz of epi and the nurses were helping to push baby out by pressing my tummy then doc say heartbeat weak I nearly panic. But steady la dr Adrian. Very calm. Baby out, then he stitch back and left already.
Thanks @leocub!Congrats! @silentlove. Strange that the doc breaks your water bag before the nurse shave & let u pass motion first.
What a scare I can imagine when he said bb heartbeat weak. U same as me, over effect of epi.. Cannot push so need to rely on the midwives to do the pushing of the tummy. I can feel the bruise a few days later.
Different gynae different pattern bah haha.Mine different leh.. i went hospital at 6.30am and they inject the med to make me poo.. then put me on drip at ard 7am.. contraction started soon after that, my gynea came duno wat time and break my water.. i know it is very painful.. but duno whether he insert his whole fist.. then contraction became very frequent and intense and pop, my bb was out at 9.31am with a minor tear.
According to my gynea my whole labour after he break my water bag was less than 1 hr.. hmmmm....
Cannot imagine whole fist go in to break the waterbag.(seem like dr adrian will prefer to burst the waterbag) Thru out whole process husband beside u?Thanks @angel_loi @lala @beac @verine22 @littlefish866 @Rhonna!

if the baby is less than 1 month old, you got priority when u go polyclinic. i settled less than an hour even with large crowdMy baby white eyes also clear but her jaundice level up to 12.9 & every time we go back check, it drop v slow. So doc suggest to do liver function test to make sure her liver is fine.
Ya, u can bring her to polyclinic to check. Just walk in & the whole process ard 1 hours depends on the crowds. All the charges cost ard $15 including consultation & lab test.
yes! i have 1 time diarrhoea at 2200hrs and i have contraction at 0330hrs. i think i passed out everything inside my intestine.Yeah burst waterbag can be quite uncomfortable and painful. Lol.
I told my gynae not to burst mine unless almost dilation full then haven't burst naturally. To cushion the contractions.
Anyone had diarrhoea as a sign of early labour? How many days after that you actually go into labour? Just wondering. Cos I think I'm having it now. Hahahha.
For anyone's interest, this ex-gynae is Dr Ho Hon Kwok at Mount Alvernia Hospital.
I checked with the Patient Liaison Unit today and he is one of the very few doctors whom collects FULL payment way before delivery. I regret to say that I have already made this payment of almost $3000 last month and I need to change gynae now.
If he refuses to refund this prepayment, might have to seek help from Medical Council or Small Claims Tribunal. It's really terrible and damn bad luck to run into this horrible gynae.
Ya. I did the work permit online for my CL..For those who engaged CL, can I know if you need to apply work permit for them to come SG? My CL told me up do so online so she need not go back Msia and can straight away hop from one assignment to next. True??
Ya. I did the work permit online for my CL..
Usually it has to done for CL who has assignments very close if not they will be bar from the custom from coming in. You can apply the permit after she came.
