Please update my baby's details. Thanks!
Name: Ting Wah Kai, Brandon
DOB: 28th April 06
Time: 0022hours
Weight: 3.230kg
Here is my birth story. Intended for everything natural. This shows that we can't plan for everything. God's will takes first place.
27th April midnight - water bag burst.
1am - Went to hospital. Put on CTG. Baby ok so asked to go home first and come back later. Only dilated 1cm
8am - Go back to hospital. Contractions like menstrual cramps. Still only dilated 1cm! But since water bag already burst doc said labour must start and end within 24 hours. So insert pill.
2pm - Still on 1cm dilated! Put on systocin drip. Contractions become more frequent and intense after that.
6pm - Only 2-3cm dilated!
7pm - 3-4 cm dilated. By this time already 19 hours in labour. Every contraction was hurting my back. Doc said will take another 6-8 hours more. I asked about painkillers even though I said I wouldn't. But another 6-8 hours of back pain didn't look too fun at that point. Doc agreed so that I can relax/rest and that would help speed up dilation and give energy to push later.
7.30pm - Got epidural
1135pm - 8cm dilated. But baby's head still very high, not fully engaged. Tried pushing but baby just don't want to move. CTG showed hearbeat dipping after every contraction. Baby's tired. Doc said no choice, have to do c-sect.
28th April midnight - Got prep to go OR.
12.22am - Brandon was born!
Had to stay 2 additional days because he had jaundice and was on TBF. Came home on Tue then on Fri went to see PD. Jaundice went up again so had to rent the lights at home. Today went to see PD, jaundice level has come down. So yippee!
So far so good. He is suckling well, peeing and pooing quite a lot too. Wakes up every 3 hours at night to feed. So far no sore nipples or engorgement. Whenever breasts feel heavy or I feel there are lumps near the top of my breasts I will quickly pump out and store in freezer. So far, have not needed to feed ebm. Always direct latch. Since he is gaining weight, I assume he is having enough and I feed on demand. So I think should be ok.

hi ladies,
Maybe u can tried this method to reduce jaundice. My boy also has jaundice and was discharge fm hospital later than me and now jaundice is cleared
My mum went to the chinese medical hall and bought some seeds. You tell the medical hall that it is for baby w jaundice for shower, they will know. The seeds was pound into powder and u can use a little bit to boil w water and let baby shower. In addition the powder can put 1 teaspoon on a cloth nappy or cloth for bb to sleep on. We bought $1 is enough for 2-3 shower, u can try out and purchase more if it works for you.

Hi Jilian.
wow...such a long labour, you very good leh...can tahan the contractions so long before getting epidural.
Yukie,
YY also cannot sleep in the afternoon till past midnight. Like every hour strat to making sucking motion...I also not sure if she's hungry or just wanna suck, so I will offer my right breast....and my right breast is practically empty throughout the day. Can't offer left breast to suck 'cos still nursing my suffered nipple. I only pump out LHS to feed and she always not satisfied after drinking the EBM 'cos not the same as sucking on mummy's breast.

Hi Nana
Congrats to u!
The recommendation is that we should pump out at 3-4 hrs interval if we are not doing direct latch on...
At 2nd week, think your supply is consider quite an amount..but your lapse interval is quite long, that's why the breasts would leak.
If you want to give your bb more BM, then you should continue the pumping or latching at closer intervals of 3 hrs....

twinkle-starry,
mine came in late too .. but was little. but bm supply nv increased despite the food i took.. so gave up eventually n rely on FM.

Mommies,
Found tix link while surfing.
http://www.kellymom.com/ppd/ppd-quiz.php
I tried the quiz n found tat the score shows that i m suffering a bit of blues again.
To mommies who was mentioning on cranky bbs in afternoons?
Any of u still've bbs cranky then?? My bb seems to be lately often.. no matter how we carry her.. CL going back on Thurs n 2morrow morning she got a jab... dunno if I'd do tat. We suspected tat her crankiness is the discomfort from the BCG jab she had on her 2nd day after birth. Now the jab seemed more obvious than previous weeks.

hi gals,
for those using Avent manual pump, can you advise how many parts are there that need to be sterilise? I am using an electric pump now which is quite bulky to bring outdoor, so thought of getting one manual one. How do you gals solve this problem?
My bb also getting very cranky at night.. last night he woke up at 1am for feed, went back to sleep and wake up again at 2.30am for feed again but we gave him at 3am. After that he didn't sleep until 5am. Its just too tiring..

How much are your babies drinking now at how many hour interval?
I'm messed up with YY's drinking schedule. Sometimes, she sleeps for 3-4hours, sometimes feed every hour. I also dunno how much she actually needs, just feed when she wakes up. The freq feeding makes my breasts q. empty leh.....starting to question issit my ss getting low, so she did not get enuf and had to nurse more freq. Even after 3-4hrs, breasts also not full full like last week leh....

There are about 5 to 6 parts that needs to be sterilised for the avent manual pump.. find this alot better than the medela electric pump.. on the verge of spoiling! the motor gives off a funny noise now and is not as strong as b4..
Mrs Ho
From what my PD advised me.. feed on demand.. and try not to feed too much plain water

twinkle-starry,
So good; at least bb still let u latch on.
If ur bb not more than 6 weeks old yet, you may want to see a lacation consultant for advice on where the prob is.
Re: Cranky
What's considered cranky?? XT juz seem waking up in the afternoons n couldn't sleep deeply n kept making noises n sometimes crying. Is tix considered cranky? Could it b becoz of BCG injection? The last time PD did say it may swell a bit in 3rd~4th week of 1st month.
Re: Vaccination
Anybody heard of modified 5-in-1 injection? Where the 3rd dose of Hep B is taken together with another injection on 5th month instead of HepB 3rd dose only on 6th month.

hi jilian
Then we are using the same medela bilibed. I oso find it not necessary to put the eye protection though the technical guy insisted we should use. How is ya baby's jaundice?

hi nana
Congrats!!!!!
If you want good supply, betta pump at an interval of 3 hrs. Me very lazy mum, pump every 5 hours on average, so sometimes I have to suffer from mastitis. An average I can pump about 150ml.

hi everyone,
irene, i can't increase e interval of pumping, in fact, it got worse, now i've to pump every 1.5 hr cuz it's so painful and full.. and my bb refuses to latch on cuz e breast is too full, so i got to pump out around 2-3oz and then let her latch on..
anyone know of bb who dun want to feed on breast tt is too full, tt's is the only reason i can think of cuz she never has problem latching on previously..

hunniepot,
thanks for your advice. I will consider to get the manual pump. It might be a waste cos my MS is really not much. i need to pump twice for his 1 feed only. but my nipples getting sore from the pumping, wonder why..
terrier/koalarie,
CL left last thurs but i extended her for another week, so she is back today. From last thurs till today, i handle my bb with my hubby becos he injured his leg and got MC till 19 may. I think its best to have someone around initially. Then slowly, i think i can handle bb alone if he don't get cranky in the mid of the night cos its really tiring if he refuse to sleep.
I will need to handle the bb alone for morning period after CL leaves cos my mom agree to help out in the afternoon. I found a tingkat for my lunch, not sure if its good.. how about both of you?
http://www.lexin.com.sg/tingkat.htm
btw, gals.. i decided to let my bb take the 6-in-1 jabs which only requires my bb to start from end of 2nd month. So do i need to bring my bb for a general checkup after 1st month? My hubby don't feel at ease that bb didn't have any checkup since 2nd week. Any advise?

Hi Mummies!!
Can i join in this thread? Confinement is really boring for me...
My girl was borned on 21 April
Through caesarian when induced natural delivery failed.
Maraquan,
My bb pooed around 2-3 times a day now. Yes, like what kyla shared, bigger poo. And he is more often on BM, so the poo is extremely lots and brownish-yellowish watery.. smelly!
Smurfy,
Me post natal blues for the past 2 weeks. Getting better this week.. heee.. seems like a lot of factors lead to post natal blues. Suddenly feel down.. and next moment can be happy..
Mummies,
My bb girl also very naughty.. loves pple to rock her and carry her around the house after every meal. Else she make noise on the bed. So when we know she is full and her diapers not wet, she must be seeking attention liao. Tiring!! Especially when she is getting heavier.
