SSL: when you going for yr C-sect? Are you gg to buy a binder? Coz it really helps to minimize the pain esp getting up the bed.
Agree with Sneaky, this waiting game is a killer!hehe. But I think Sneaky's turn will be before mine lah...her bb Samuel's head has been stucked there for more than a month alreadi...mine haven leh..hehe.
If i am not wrong, SSL and Inc gng for C-sect this week, so their turn should be next rite? Good luck to both of you, hope you will have a smooth delivery.

mayday
my turn will be this thurs. Ya intend to buy the binder at TMC after the op. Probably just tell the nurse will do right?
Btw, was told by my mum not to eat chicken during the first week after the op. So intend to request TMC to exclude chicken in my meals. hope can be done.
Btw, since u had c section, can you share with me your hospital bill? like how much costs for mum and baby? did u opt for separate billing ?

Qiqi.. Congrats!

do u happen to know the english name for the "san yu", kind of fish. Heard those who went for c section cant take that cos will cause the wound to "grow" meat.(hence making the wound look ugly) confirmed with my mum too.
So thinking of avoiding that type of fish in TMC too. Btw, remember got this "papaya and fish" soup that TMC lactation consultant recommend for bringing in breast milk. Wanted to try that soup but not sure if the fish is that "no no" fish.
inc,
u may want to take note too. if u believe in not taking chicken and "san yu" in the first few weeks after the op

Morraine, actually my mom told me that.. My bro had pretty bad jaundice when he was born and apparently my mum was taking quite a lot of ginger which made it worse, then she said when she stopped taking the ginger, my bro's jaundice wasn't so bad..
fuschiastar: Ya, if bb has serious jaundice it is best to avoid ginger for the first few weeks after delivery.
SSL: I also dunno what it's called leh.. the papaya and fish soup can use threadfin or even ikan bilis with pork ribs! The most important ingredient is the papaya, the best is to use GREEN papaya cos it has the sap that will aid in lactation.

inc: able to get up on the next day but u will feel v giddy coz lying in bed too long liao.
The pain is still bearable only can feel 'sharp' pain at the edge of the wound when you have some movements. The 2nd day when they bring my boy to me I can't really bf coz no milk and at the same time can't really sit up straight dued to the wound. I only start to bf him when I'm at home. Don't worry C-sect won't affect bf.
SSL: Pls get the binder before hand so that it will be put on immediately after the op.
My CL told me next wk then I can start to 'pu' my body coz first 10 days after op eat something light first. She will start to cook chicken only next wk.
Yes, separate it so that you can claim more for medisave. And do not worry too much for the op coz u really get 'knock-off' within seconds and by the time you woke up you can see yr bb liao.
morraine: My total bill was $2550(inclusive of doc fee + other extra charges) after deducting medisave of $2450(Mother) and $600(Baby).
fushistar: My CL lady told me can eat ginger but moderate it dun eat too much at the beg after bb first chkup for jaundice then eat more. Coz we are bf so can pass the ginger to bb.

mayday,
so does that mean you still need to fork out $2550 cash after deducting $2450 + $600 from medisave?
jenifur,
we already appreciate alot for updating the list hence it doesn't matter late/slow or whatever
may i know how much is your hospital bill? how much you fork out in cash?

Adel Yee:
What kind of part time job r u doing? It did come across my mind too but alot seems to be related to doing survey on line, etc which I am not keen.
Fushiastar:
Hee, then u better rest more, think abt holding baby in your arms and think abt the baby arrangement later. U will cross the bridge when u come to it!
Ssl:
Did u engage shifu or own family to select delivery date?
Inc n ssl:
Wahsoonu will be able to hold your babies in your arms. How nice!

Kris, how to cook the papaya fish soup? Just boil green papaya and fish? Do you put anything else inside to season like salt, pepper, onion? The green papaya is boiled whole? Or remove skin and seeds..
Actually, must it be green papaya and fish soup, meaning can I just eat uncooked green papaya and maybe have steam fish? The same effect?
There are quite a few galactologues including fenugreek, fennal etc and I know that traditionally chinese believe in green papaya and fish but when i try to do a search on it.. can't really find out much info leh..
Thanks

Jenifur, thanks! Must cook for 4 hours!!!... My goodness.. So it can be any sort of unripe papaya.. and only with one slice of ginger.. And only drink the soup and eat the fish.. Have you tried to cook it? Taste nice?

Inc+SSL: Yep, it's keloid..
There's a genetic factor to getting keloids , there are also some foods that tend to increase the chances of getting.. That fish is one of them, so are seafood like prawns, shellfish etc..I'm also prone to them too.. Don't think it's really medically proven, but it's more an observation that doctors have noticed.. So up to us whether we want to believe and follow or not.. Me being me, would rather just be safe and just avoid when wound is healing lor..

FENUGREEK
Oh, just a word of caution to those who are thinking of trying fenugreek to increase milk supply.. To note that it also causes blood thinning (thus will bleed more easily, not very advisable when we are healing.. ) and some resparatory depression (which means not suitable for people with asthma).. Always best to check with doctor if gonna try..

My babydream: It's a keloid. Yep, it is.. All 3! - more with our own skin and food we eat than doctor's skill..
Something for those interested in keloids.. Keloids and fibrous scars are different in that in fibrous scars, there is tissue overgrowth, but the overgrowth does not extend beyond the edges of the wound. This tends to be a pale pink colour. For keloids, the tissue overgrowth extends beyond the edges of the wound. This tends to be a more angry red colour.. Just FYI

Fuschiastar: I've tried the TMC papaya fish soup recipe b4 but I still prefer my own .. hee.. Here it is:
1. half an unripe/semi ripe papaya (skinned and seeded), cut into relatively large chunks
2. abt 2 tablespoonfuls of ikan bilis (washed)
3. pork ribs (depends on how carnivorous you are)(can marinade in some gd qualiy lite soya sauce)
4. salt to taste
5. a teaspoon of veg oil
In a relatively deep wok, add the oil and stir fry the ikan bilis and pork ribs until the ribs are browned on the outside. Add 3 large bowls of water and the papaya and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer until the papaya softens (which can take abt almost an hour). Add salt when ready to serve, b4 turning off the heat.
I took this everyday for abt a week and it definitely helped! As a first time mom my supply was seriously pathetic.
As for Fenugreek, I took it during the 4th month when I went back to work and it did help me maintain my supply though it didn't boost it. The moment I stopped my supply dipped.

Kris, Thanks
Have printed both receipes out and gonna stick them on my fridge.. Will let you know when I try them
What sort of ikan bilis do you use? the for frying kind. or the for soup kind or the kind without bones? Your receipe is for one person?
I had asthma before so better not to take fenugreek..
