Hi, nope... Mucus plug is not always the first sign of labour. Some mummies can go into labour before the mucus plug comes out.Hi mummies ,
Just to check the first sign of labor is it always a mucus plug?

I am meeting her this evening. Hopefully she can help me latch my bb soon. My nipples are so tender now I am resorting to pumping out and feeding him via spoon instead.@momocrv , i nv been to mount a LC, but i heard of sister kang too.

anyone knows first time charge for spectra S1 pump need charge for how long?
Can I charge like new iphone - just charge for 8-10 hours for first charge since it says lithium battery?
It's week 37 now. Baby has been squirming alot and not kicking as much recently. Appetite has not been very good coz I caught some infection from hubby. gave me scratchy throat and makes me cough at night. Also very heaty, nose bleed and gums swollen. Trying to rest, drink coconut water and let it recover by itself....it's been a bad week for me. going to see gynae end of this week. hopefully he sheds some light on whether there is some progression to labour....can't wait to have this baby out and in my arms soon.
Im in wk37 too, getting progressively grumpy haha. But bb better dun come out this wk! Gynae is away and gynae's clinic is closed for some retreat, talk about excellent timing. So can only see him next wk. Hang in there! Haha when bb is out, you may wish to stuff him or her back inside sometimes Rest more now
Ahaha I've heard that one before! My colleagues told me after bb is out I will wish to stuff bb back in!
Actually v contradicting. On one hand hope to go full term to ensure baby is well developed and healthy before coming out, on the other hand I really don't wanna be pregnant anymore, I want pop bb out now! Haha!

Hi Furbee, where to rent the bilirubin cot? And how's the rate? Charged by day? My bb also got Jaundice, after discharged from KK, nurse told me to bring her to Polyclinic do test again. I didnt know that Polyclinic got such a long Q, registration Q for 40mins, then wait for height/weight measurements Q for 20mins, then take blood sample Q for 1.5hours, wait for results Q for 40mins, then wait to see doctor 30mins, doctor examined bb for 2mins only said blood test result shows 179 and need to go back test again 2 days later. I am so terrified to go back Polyclinic for that long hours wait, very crowded no place to sit. me suffer with backache and bb also suffer. Many ppl sick or cough at Polyclinic I was so worried that my new born bb will catch flu virus while waiting.My boy on sunday (5days old) jaundice was 10.1. Doc asked to admit him, but i opted not to. Tmr will go polyclinic do test again, if still high will rent the Bilirubim cot for him ( as i did for my #2)
Jaundice bb slps alot, mine can go up to 5hrs without milk. Very impatient that he bites me, so din manage to correctly latch him. Dont worry @momocrv , normally after 2.5-3wks the jaundice will drop.
Jiayou. If he dun latch jus express 1st (every 3hourly) , den like u mentioned, jus spoon feed him, den again try latch when he slightly awake. He sure slp once u latch again! Its normal...

If can rent the phototherapy cot back home, will be a big relief for me and bb.
Those days when I had my children .. We were lucky enough to have MCH. It's a well clinic .. Strictly for well mothers and their Bbs to do chk-ups and vaccinations .Oh dear, i thot there shld be an infant priority q at the polyclinic? Poor thing need to wait so long!

Thanks yew_yew!! I will start to plan for baby full moon soon that should keep me occupied@momocrv, you are not alone. I used to feel emotional during the 1st week of confinement. Now, 3 weeks later,I'm feeling positive! Looking forward to baby shower this Sunday! I guess it's a hormonal thing to feel emotional? Don't emo! Cheers! Think about other things like preparing for baby shower etc.
PLEASE !!!Hi mummies ,
I heard that for jaundice baby we can try to put baby under sun in the morning for everyday?

@ MTB-2015, if baby under 2 weeks, should be in priority queue. You should make it known to the person at the ticket booth and will give u priority number. if not.. make it known to the registration. yesterday I brought mine to polyclinic, everything done within an hour (blood test, nurse examination, doc see us on blood test report) reach polyclinic abt 2.30pm, reached home 4pm.

I guess it's due to Monday peak hour ba. My bb discharged on Sunday. Nurse told me must go to Polyclinic on Monday, so even though the Q number is Priority, still got 8 bb and some very old and sick aunties in front of us. They were all Priority Q. I was at SengKang Polyclinic. Maybe SK/Punggol area got more new born babies ba.@ MTB-2015, if baby under 2 weeks, should be in priority queue.

Papaya fish soup is using unripe papaya rite? Need to eat the papaya or jus drink soup and eat fish will do?
Days to avoid Polyclinics are Mondays / saturdays/ eve of ph / the day after ph . They are the worst days to go Polyclinic . From taking Q#; registering; seeing Dr; getting Meds . ..

I need to admit hospital tomorrow morning 6am. Amniotic fluid index is low now so Dr said induce tomorrow morning. Baby weight 3.3kg at 38wks.
NOT TRUE !!! Ur milk does NoT cause jaundice . If u are bf ur bb well .. Carry ON ... Good on you .!!Hi mummies.. my 1 week old baby just did a blood test today and jaundice reading at 222 (or level 13). PD said I have to bring baby back tmrw again for another blood test. Just thinking what I shld do today to help baby bring down the jaundice reading? Give formula milk from now on for 1 day? She has been on tbf since birth..
Will this help?? Cos the family is kinda saying it's my bm that causes the level to be high. .
PLEASE !!!
DO NOT put ur jaundice bb directly under the sun light . This is not like when you go Tanning .
In the morning ( best 7-9am before it gets hot ) undress ur bb as much as u can and stand next to a bright window.
You can place bb's cot or mat next to open window.. Pls make sure , should sun rays comes into the room , that it is not shinning directly on ur bb . Also Remember to put on their eye mask , too .
jandicr sleeps a lot .. You MUST WAKE BB every 2-3 hrs to nurse . ( undress them or use small wet towels to wipe their faces / arms/ legs ) The more they drink the faster the yellow will fade . Don't let the sleep on and get dehydrated .. That's very dangerous for DAYS OLD BBS . Take care all .
