Ivory,
thx for updating, my girl's name has finally been decided, chen xin ru.
2 days into confinement n it's torture. my aunt who's doing it for me is quite traditional, so cannot bathe, wash hair etc. luckily my mom is ok, so the first day in, she tou1 tou1 help me wash hair otherwise i will die! hb also quite ok, help me boil the herbs before aunt comes over to cook. then cannot sit too long, eat already lie down n sleep. luckily bf, or else really become pig, eat n sleep. want to go online also must wait til she go back, then sneak in here n update...cant wait for this to end. feel disgusting.
was doing ok bf until yesterday when ms suddenly seemed to go n bb was screaming for milk immediately after latchng on for an hour. finally gave up n fed fm. actually, think diet n mom's feeling also play impt part. first nite home, was depressed coz felt like my life wasn't my own, n excl from my bb except for feeding time. also, the food a bit drastic change from hospital one. so after giving fm 2x, called up mt A lactation consultant for help (n moral support la). She said was normal n can take up to 2 wks to establish supply/demand. in meantime, dont recommend fm. just latch on average ev. 2/3 hrs or if really not enuff, maybe every 1.5 hrs. tried pumping with avent manual, but milk keep getting diao at the suction pump area,nothing into the bottle...guess have to keep trying.
dunno when can come in again. i'm dying of perspiration n heat. no fan or air con...then cant drink plain water, or even coolish drinks. now on milo/milk/longan red date tea only. counting the days...thot mar 16 will be free, but celebrating man yue on mar 18, so 2 more days of this.
for c sec, when is the followup checkup? gynae didnt mentoin anything abt next checkup, so no idea what's supposed to happen now. bb going back to PD for check on her jaundice tomor, hope she's ok. anyone else with dr terence tan from mt A?
