lib ... thats fast ... your confinement will be over liao and bb kylie is 1 mth old ... neo garden food is good ... I ordered it for my family gathering the last time too ... we are likely to go for neo garden when its my bb full month oso ...
 


hello galz,
hee.... so happy... just collected bb's bean sprout pillow... ;o) think i will start to decorate bb's cot when im on leave. now his bed is still in a mess...

confused,
dun worry abt bb movement. as long as ur gynae say bb's ok means ok. i can understand how u feel when u cant feel bb's movement. btw, how come u still got menstrual?? think u better dun walk too much n please dun carry any heavy/light heavy stuff ok...is very dangerous!!!
 
hi skippy n seabreeze..

out edd so near.. will b going for my 37wks visit tml..hope gynae tell me i ready to pop..cos i feel bb so heavy n pressing on my pevic bone now. do u ladies feel e same too?? i'm feeling e pain every now n then.
u gals ready?? i've set up my bb cot n pack up e room quite abit yesterday, so if bb wanna come out, i'm quite ready.. although ideally its next wk..
 
dear confused, ya like what the gals said, some can only feel it in late months, for mine, i think i only feel very very slight movement from my baby from 22nd week onwards, and it's very light flutter. So dun worry, I'm sure you are in Dr Chew's good hand, and somemore his machine so powerful! 3D leh.
hey u know my fren went for his detailed scan and it cost more now. $330 compared to $290. an increment of $40.

seabreeze, good leh got maid to help out. I kinda worry that my mum will get tired. hmmm.... i will only have a part time cleaner to come every week. Think will have to bear with some dirt.

skippy u intend to decorate baby's cot soon? for me, i was thinking of putting up the sheets when i return from hospital, i scared collect dust leh.

lib, good choice of buffet! Neo garden is very good. Had them for company function before. Yummy!!! think yr guest will have a good feast on food and also looking at yr cute baby kylie. =)
 
Wow... Almost everyone all set yah...
Hehehe.. i'm the lazy one. Baby's clothes haven't wash. Baby's cot full of things unpacked. (became mini cabinet)
Hospital bag haven't pack oso. Hahaha...

as for the musical mobile, i havnt got one for my bb... do u think our bb need it at the 1st mth? shld i get 1 now?
 
Hi there
for musical mobiles, it is best to put it up after the baby is one month old since over-stimulation may occur when they are too young. However, if you can detach the mobile from the music box, you can attach the music box by the cot so you can entertain the baby with music when he is awake.

When baby is young (before 1mth old) colours like black, white, blue is good enough to stimulate them, they love looking at faces or animals at that age.

Hi erowen
How heavy is your baby at 38weeks? I was wondering if mine at 3.3kg is considered as big since I am quite slim.

Hi Lib
Thanks for letting me know about your experience of your c-section. How is your wound healing now? Do you experience much pain?is the delivery process shorter if you have c-section?
 
Ladies,
Thanks for all the compliments. *sign* my boi just got admitted into Mt A for his jaundice. Luckily PD said it's only moderate high (15.3) and the admission is to err on the safe side. Already missed him so much. I saw him laying naked & crying under the phototheraphy, so heartpain. I suppose all these worrying are all part of motherhood.....

As for BF, still trying not to give up although I must admit that I'm less stress now that I started to give Hao Wen formula milk. Will try to build up more BM next 2 days when he's hospitalised.

Tingting,
the Avent breast shell has a diameter of about 8cm (half-cup style), no info on how much that can collect. As for full month, probably just throw a simple lunch for relatives/close frens, colleagues get cake vouchers.

Triniti,
my bb was not engaged at wk 39 and I managed to deliver him naturally.

Erowen,
$3.3K is all-inclusive of gynae fee, medical supplies, bb hearing test, etc.

Congrats, Anissa!

Lib, so fast full month liao hoh! I'll probably go for Neo Garden too.
 
anissa, congratulations on the arrival of baby Clarence!
kao_clap.gif
So happy for you that Clarence's weight is normal.

ixwong, your baby looks so cute!

erowen, I am doing fine, but like you, I am waiting for baby to turn down too. At my 34th week checkup, baby was still head up. I will be seeing gynae this thursday for my 36th week checkup. Hope I will get good news that baby has turned around. How many weeks were you when your baby girl turned around?
 
congrats anissa!

was just thinking it'll be so fun by the time we gals meet with our little ones.. sure quite rowdy...hehe...
 
hi snoopy
my gal turn down at week 36th, rather late. my gynae said to talk and sing to her everyday everynight, nag and nag at her til she turn down. i believe yr gal can also hear what you said to her, she will kwai kwai turn down.

ixwong, 3.3k inclusive of so many things very reasonable. hopefully my bill will not be too big.
dun worry abt the jaundice, it's pretty common and i'm sure yr boi will get over the jaundice phase soon.

triniti, tks for sharing the info abt musical mobile and the colours. So informative! at 38th week, my gal weights abt 2.9 - 3kg. My gynae didn't say anything abt my baby's weight.

skippy, kekeke, u same as me leh, everything dump on the cot! the toys and her clothes all dump there, ya i think i better clear the items first.

we have heard the good news from anissa, wondering how's cakey doing? think maybe she pop liao, then we will have 2 babies celebrating the same birthday.
kao_cheers.gif
 
hi triniti..thanksfor e info on e mobile, think i'll take it out 1st. i've 2 sets of e black/white/red cloth flash cards, hv placed it by e cot.

erowen,
looks like i'm e kaisu mtb..hee, only 37wks n i set up e cot liao. actually i also worry bout e dust but i keep e bb room close most of e time.

skippy,
i also feel lots of stretching of bb too..but in addition, e pain on my pelvin bone is making me very uncomfortable when moving around,even sitting n standing up. hope my gynae pity me n give me long mc to rest b4 delivery..heee..
 
Hi tingting, though I am a 2nd time mummy but becos I dun hv much experience in bfg cos I only get to bf my ds for a week. That time, kenah stressed out by my cl and almost got post natal blues.. haiz.. tough time. Then my mil took over the care of confinement for me and I hv to take care of ds myself. So I know how some of u w/o cl is/are gg thru. Tt's why this time, I swear I must get a good cl to help me!

Hi ixwong, jaundice is very common in nbs so dun be too sad. My cl got some herbs from the medicinal hall to bathe dd in and it is said to 'cure' jaundice. She will place a few of those herbs in an ang bao and put by her pillow side. She will crush the herbs and put boiling water over it then use it to bathe dd. The water is v. yellowish kind. And these few days not much sun.. v. stress ah. But anyway, think her jaundice level is gg down cos she dun look so yellowish liao.

Congrats anissa and musicgal! Enjoy motherhood!
 
gd mornin everybody.......

todae only Tuesdae... :eek:(

ixwong,
i understand how u feel. im sure ur bb will be fine. dun worry too much ok...

ero & cookies,
u gals still workin? when gog on ML? i really very sick of comin to work liao. so tired to walk here n there... ;o(
 
musicgal,
Congrats on ur NB!!! ;o) u n bb can celebrate b'day together yah! tatz cool! ;o)

ixwong,
just to check wit u... did u go for the "you long zhi" to decide the chinese name for ur bb? or just pick a favourite name by urself? im thinkin whther to go for "you long zhi" or not...
 
Hi skippy, I heard the You Long Zi dun 'entertain' you personally ie to say you wont see him face to face when getting a name. U just put ur ba zi in a box then few days ltr they will either call you to collect or post to you. That's it. Very commercialised i feel.
 
skippy10,
We picked bb's name ourselves.

Thanks for comforting. I hope HaoWen would be able to discharge soon...

Mummies,
I'm stepping up on expressing BM using pump. But can only get a pathetic 10 ml after 20 mins from both breasts. although after pumping breasts are softer, I can still feel lumps around the breast rims (quite pain when pressed). Are these blocked ducts? I'm considering seeing a lactation consultant for help in increasing BM supply.
 
skippy, i aso heard similar stuff as miso re you long zhi. do a seach on you long zhi in d forum & u can find out more.

ixwong, dun b discouraged. tink it'll take a while b4 our milk supply is established. jia you okie...
happy.gif
 
ixwong,
if painful & lumps, pls "press them out" no matter how it hurts (like blue-black theory). Need to unblock them before it's too late.

Miso,
where u bring your baby for checkups? Punggol Plaza Northern Hope pediatrician good anot?
 
Hello gals

erowen n skippy - thanks. now i not so worried liao (after listerning to u gals)

erowen - har! $330 for detail scan? Do it at his clinic or at the hospital? u mean detail scan so ex?

Hi anissa n musicgal - Congrats to u gals
happy.gif
 
musicgal .. CONGRATS!!!

these days dunno whats wrong ... started vomiting mouthful of food again ... sianzzzz .... really wan my baby to pop soon ar ...
 
Hi wendy, how are you? Long time no hear from you le.. how's bb doing? U mean the clinic near the entrance/exit at Punggol Plaza? Is there a PD? I not too sure leh.. I brought my gal to see my ds' PD at Bishan, Dr. Keoy Shoo Shin.

Hi ixwong, I agree with what wendy says.. Do try to massage your breast and endure the pain, block ducts still can press n massage if mastitis then not gd liao.
 
hi ixwong, i also massage my breasts before expressing.. helps to clear any blocked ducts...

miso, there is a Northern Hope Medical Centre at punggol plaza, and they have PD service. Wendy n I were thinking of bringing bb there for check up.. I think I'll bring Zephan there for his 1st month checkup. When he's older will then switch to GP.
 
congrats anissa & musicgal! welcome little clarence & jeremy!

Skippy, dun tink too little of yrself K, must be confident of yrself! As for the naming, find You Rong Zhi is too commercialise liao.. & the fees he charges is quite high abt $150 & names r pretty common..

Personally i find my cot mobile very useful as Kylie is a very nursery girl, like to listen to nursery songs, and it helps me to put her to bed most of the times.

Triniti, my wound has almost healed. as pple always say thr is 7 layers of skin to be healed after surgery. for me i oni experience certain pain during my 1st week but is still bearable. and my whole surgery takes abt 1hr.

Ixwong, hows Haowen now? Jaundice is pretty common in NB not to worry K. *Miso I'm oso using the herbs to bathe Kylie but not too sure wats the name tho.
 
Seabreeze, it's called the Bishan Children Clinic @ Blk 279, Bishan St. 24, #01-50. Tel: 6453 3933. Dr. Keoy is not bad, we stick to him cos seems my ds likes him and his medicine works on my ds. So we stick to him.
 
Congrats musicgal & Anissa!!

Hi miso,
Thanks for your encouragement. I feel so much better when I learn to relax &amp; take things easy. Sometimes when Edna cries, I turn on music &amp; keep myself cool.

The engorgement part, I din expect to be so painful. But now getting used to it &amp; pump whenever necessary.

Hi tingting,
True abt the skipping bf. I skipped a session &amp; my breast is full like going to burst!
 
anyone received any news from Erowen? maybe she went for labor todae... ;o) i wonder.....

galz,
ok, thanks for the info/comments on "you rong zhi"... think i better tell my hub abt it...

seabreeze,
r u ok? why u vomit? wat did the gynae say?
 
miso

dr keoy was the PD assigned by my gynae at TMC. We dun like him.. he didn't advise us a lot of things at hosp when i was warded. Wait until we went back for followup chk @ his clinic 3 days later. By dat time too late, my baby's jaundice went up quite high n had 2b readmitted 4 foto-therapy. Hubby n i quite upset. We hv another fren also dun like his way of talking.

So we switching pd. Punggol Plaza 4th flr Northern Hope. Not the one opp OCBC. Dat's just a GP i think.

ting2
i called to enquire, quite ex ley. Hep B 2nd jab $20, consultation another $65. May go elsewhere, mayb Sengkang

my 1 month technically over today. but hubby still dun let me drink coke... =(

cat-tail, i delivered at TMC
 
skippy ...

dunno ler ... now my mouth like very bland like that ... feel as though i am back in my first tri ... damn SIANZZZZ ...

my gynae wont have anything to say one lar ... he will just tell me to bear with it ... anyway ending soon liao mar ...
 
seabreeze,
u r not workin right? then must rest well at home yah... my gyane also the same type. waitin time is abt 30-45mins and seein her only for 5-8mins...or maybe less.... sigh....

today forum very quiet ler... wonder all mummies busy with ...
 
hi skippy,
i only intent to take leave from 5sep onwards if bb still nt ready to come out by then.

today visited my gynae n attended his labour talk. as his machine not very updated, cannot tell e bb wt's anymore, he say his machine cant read if above 3.2kg. so i need to go tmc to do a detail scan to be sure of bb's wt next monday... but good news is i did not put on wt since e last 10 days.

mtbs..regarding 'you long zi', my goddaughter name calculated by him too, pay $100, in e end also nvr take his recommendation. my frens nvr get to c him, jus pass e birth date to some1 there, n they give him a list of suitable names, all sounds funny. in e end, they decide to use back e original. think he not very good leh.
 
1)Besides ru yu oil, is it necessary to buy infacol wind drops? Can a New born drink that? My mum used to let me drink when I was a new born.

2)What formula milk(brand) is your baby drinking as supplementary?
 


skippy ...

me working ar ... taking leave starting 5 sept only ... same as cookies ....

lucky you on leave next week liao right?
