Hi blueginger, Can i join the gathering too ? My #1 is born in feb 08.

confinement food i didn't take white chicken but ate black chicken soup as i was coughing. if we have a wound, better to wait for the wound to recover before taking chicken. Pork and fish are the best bet. tirabon, ligation is considered an operation and may need more time to rest &amp...

ssmilezz, i thought c-sec is 3 days hospital stay ? if you delivered on tuesday, discharge is friday noon ? maybe you can check with your gynae. are you feeling engorged ? you may need to massage and manual pump out the colostrum and cup/syringe feed your girl, it's liquid gold nattan, old...

moi, congratulations ! only have 45 minutes of labour, that's really fast ! take time to rest now

nattan, hmm i broke alot of rules already. go out every weekend during confinement for about 2 hours, for shopping. Send my girl to school when hubby was not free. Bathe my kids when hubby not around. Wash hands and brush teeth with tap water. Air con at night. Fan/air con in the day. Starting...

audrey, congratulations to your bundle of joy. wow, you can still fetch your son during the contractions. You don't require stitching down there ? first time i heard of it though .... take time to rest, i think confinement food is important, need to nourish the body after 12 days. nattan...

glass, maybe you can ask your parents to come over your place only after #1 is at home. tell them in advance about your plans over the telephone so they don't need to wait ? also tell your parents you are in confinement, need to lie down and sleep as much as possible. i'm sure they will...

joanne, my CL makes 2 hot water flasks of red dates tea to last from morning till night. i normally finish around 11-12 midnight. If i wake up and pump at night, i'll drink plain warm water.

jul, congratulations ! your bb is of good weight jolene, i think nurses encourage breast milk so that bb can pee and poo frequently to remove the jaundice. but we must also watch what we eat, too much ginger will also cause jaundice in our babies.

minnzo, maybe you try to push a bit to help dilation ? also try to relax since got epi now. Jia you

congratulations xiaowei

groovy, babies are gifts from god and we love them all the same. technology is advanced, dont worry for now, take care of your health first. Good that LC taught you the correct way of latching, jia you

petrina, can try walking or squatting exercises to open cervix ? slept around 1 hour, woke up, latch bb on bed, can't get back to sleep again. now waiting for my 2 kids to wake up and prepare them for school.

Fleur, I'm,still blur with taking care of bb though not my first one. Luckily I've CL to help. Just woke up to pump. Now can't get back to sleep.

congratulations grovvy
