What FM are you giving Nixon now? I have 1 tin of similac on standby.. not too sure whether it is good or not.. and it is quite ex.. $14+ for 1 small tin
 
hunniepot, Nixon's having similac.. was recommened by my friend and cousin.. ya, quite ex lor.. Nixon drink 1 big tin every 2 weeks.. u not giving ur girl any fm huh? abit weird to call ur girl Amanda.. macam calling myself.. wahahaha..
 
jumbo

Understandable

I have fed my girl some amts of FM also.. from those glass bottles of FM from the hospital.. managed to get 5 bottles from the nurses and have been using those so far.. but running out liao.. trying not to give my girl FM as long as I can bf her.. gave her FM on occasions when I was really too tired, having sore nipples or when we were outside lor.. BTW did you bring Nixon out when you went shopping?

How much is 1 big tin of similac BTW?
 
Hi Lemontree,

You are the first mum here to have ND. It really scares the hell out of me when I hear about the pain and aches you are suffering after delivery. OMG, wonder how i can take it.

Are you on any pain killers now?
 
so envious of all e mummies who pop.. me EDD 10/4, on ML now, today first day.. so bored, whole day at home, cuz dun dare to travel far.. so reading a lot of threads, more i read, more i fret.. everything seems so difficult.. alas!!

think all e mummies who make it, super "wei da" ..

anyone got any suggestion wat to do when on ML waiting to be pop?? me so bored, tt me contemplating asking e gynae to induce.. a bit mad rite..
 
hunniepot, i brought nix out on sat and sun with hubby and my parents.. but he kept crying at nite.. dunno wat's wrong leh.. cos he sleep through the outing, nvr open his eyes.. these few days he kept jerking his hands and legs while sleeping.. dunno wat's wrong leh..
 
hunniepot, a big tin of similac weighs 900g..

kyla, can buy some parenting magazine to read lor.. or go library and borrow some book to read.. take it easy huh..

Hi Jumbo,
Could sthg, like loud sound etc hv scared Nixon when you guys were out? or can check his poopoo. My gal used to jerk while sleeping when still a BB tho we've bean pillow on her chest, dunno Y but when u put BB to sleep on the side, tendncy is much lower. Maybe u can try?
Hi Kyla, Alternatively buy series of VCD dat'll make u get hook..hahaha..or comp. games
 
Hi Rach,
Congrats! Show my mil BB Ryan's pix, she says he's adorable..hehehe..can tell she's excited abt BB's arrival too :D
Hv a gd rest!!!
 
juzmaine, his poo yellowish past few days and today.. if he got scared, he will get greenish poo poo.. although Nix is coming to 6 weeks old but we still wrap him up and place the beansprout pillow on his chest.. he nvr jerk tat much for the past few weeks.. only these few days.. i've let him sleep on his side sometime but he twist and turn and sleep on his back again.. my mum urge me to let him sleep sarong so tat he can sleep soundly.. i'm thinking of letting him try to sleep on sarong but afraid he will get addicted to it and dun wanna sleep on cot.. and my mil against the idea of letting him sleep on sarong..
 
jumbo & hunniepot,
I realise that Jayden's skin has started peeling around his wrists and ankles. Did the same thing happen to Nixon and Amanda?
 
ya Jumbo...my gal was "addicted" to sarong too tho I strongly object initially but mil deem BB can sleep soundly wif it. Read that cannot swing too much cos BB's brain is fragile, so all the more I objected but I do agree BB sleeps longer and thankfully my in-laws din swing too hard too, so let them be, but another prob arise, ie when BB knows how to struggle and sit up cos it's dangerous as there are cases BB fell out loh...so better to place a cushion underneath...come to tink of it, lotsa doubts but it has proven that BB sleeps better, plus my gal grown out of it automatically so my worries initially were unfound :p For the sake of BB, give it a try but with safety measures taken, at least we larn what is gd for BB wat is not
happy.gif
 
preciousbabe, nvr happened to Nixon leh.. is it normal? will apply more moisturiser help?

juzmaine, think can use cloth peg to clip on the sarong "entrance" to "close up" the "entrance" when ur bb know how to turn.. me still thinking wanna buy sarong or not.. thanks for ur advise, girl..
happy.gif
 
preciousbabe

Yup.. Amanda also had peeling skin ard her ankles.. so just apply moisturiser will do the trick.. for me, I dip abit of johnsons baby oil into her bath tub when showering her..

Jayden has a very adorable smile
happy.gif


jumbo

My girl also jerks her hands and legs while sleeping sometimes.. and she also flips to her back when I put her to sleep on her sides..

Her poo has been yellowish for the past 1 week liao.. the greenish black poo is gone already..
 
hunniepot,
okie, thanks for the tips. hee...I thought he's changing skin leh ;p

jumbo,
Jayden also jerks his hands and legs but that is when I unwrap the cloth. His poo has been yellowish since the 4th day. So I think Nixon shld be alright lah. No worries
happy.gif
 
hunniepot and preciousbabe.. my Nixon very timid one leh.. small little sound will make him scare sometime.. he will get a "shock" in his sleep when i cough, sneeze.. but loud sound like plane fly over or thunder nvr scare him.. dun understand.. keke.. i describe him as elephant.. dun scare big animal.. scare mouse nia.. wahahaha
 
H Jumbo, my mil used cloth pegs too but soon gave way when BB struggled..maybe should invent a zipper sarong!! ;p
So far, hv u gone shopping or anywhere to give urself a treat after delivery?
happy.gif
 
seems like most of you have already started to work at home or start the Maternity Leave already.
I'm still considering on when to start. Haiz
 
hihi, me dun have to worry abt my ML.. today c gynae, he says better to induce cuz too long, might have complication.. so me going to induce tomorrow.. likely to pop tomorrow or thursday..

hope it'll be a fast one..

irene, me think if u not too tired at work, might consider working till u pop cuz start too early quite bored.. then start to think here think there..

for me, my work super demanding, so decide to take from 39 weeks onwards..
 
juzmaine, ya lor, zipper sarong will be nice.. wahaha.. think we can go and invent one and benefit all mummies.. keke.. my hubby and me plan to go holiday early May, without baby, before i go back to work and celebrate hubby's bday.. we're planning korea or perth.. last year we went to tasmania with a couple friend.. self drive there.. good experience..

irene.. ur bb's edd is my dad's bday.. keke.. maybe u can work till next week then start maternity leave from there lor.. just a suggestion.. but really up to u.. ur comfortable zone..
happy.gif
anyway, dun worry too much huh
 
Wah Jumbo,

sad.gif


hi preciousbabe,

Mind if you check for me if my pillows are ready?
Going for induced labour tomorrow.. its very sudden and now it seems like I have alot of things not prepared yet.. haiz..
 
hunnipot, can you share with me about that time, you feel a decrease of bb movement so you went to see the gynae?
today I feel that my bb is also not moving a lot. kinda worried also.
 
HiLadies
today is start of my ml..trying to do some of my own stuffs b4 bb decides to come out..later will b gg for my gynae check to c whether my cervix has ripen..

RE: Travel
Sighh..think it wont b ano yr b4 i can see e light of ano country..hehehe...beside think will miss bb if not w him..
 
hi smurfy, me going to be induce tomorrow too.. a bit scare scare hor..

where will u be?? me'll be at mt a..

does anyone know if mt a delivery suite allows laptop?? and if induce how many days do we stay there?? cuz my gynae asked me to be there at 915 am, then admitted to e hospital in e afternoon..

me quite confused now, so e charges will be one day at e delivery suite.. from tomorrow afternoon till potentially thursday when i gave birth?? then ward charges kick in?

irene, think if u go and have a meal and monitor, if still no movement better go c doc.. cuz bb most active after meal, so just in case of false alarm.. but better safe than sorry..
 
hi im frm May MTB thread.. just check with you guys ..
for those who had given birth in TMC... what are the things to pack in your hospital bag?
 
smurfy,
I'll check for u. But tell u hor, Celyn is abit slow one. I actually called her 1 week before my op and she sent the pillow to me only 4 days after I deliver. So y might have to wait for a while for the pillow lor.

smurfy & kyla,
All the best for your delivery tmr!!
 
kyla, dun worried about the induced. My 1st bb was induced too. I was put on drip at 11+am and bb was out at 5+pm.
did the doctor mentioned to you that your cervix has opened? If opened, it will be faster, if not open, they will insert the tablet to induce the birth.

I've just eaten my lunch. sitting down here in front of the pc. monitoring the movement. Also have the tightening feeling but no pain leh.. i scare false alarm also.
 
kyla

Hmm.. it actually depends on how fast your cervix dilates after being induced.. I stayed in hospital for 2 full days while on induction.. induced 3 times.. cervix still not opened big enough.. ended up c-section.. but for most cases I have heard.. most pple induced once can liao.. and it is normally pretty fast.. hospital stay shld be the same as ND
 
Smurfy, how come so fast u got to induce?

Re: BB movement
My bb movement oso not alot nowadays, except I can feel my bb hiccups almost everyday leh...
 
thanks all, was feeling a bit apprehensive.. think should not think so much la..

irene, doc didn't mention abt e cervix opened.. said he'll insert e tablet and monitor tomorrow.. hope mine is as fast as yours..
 

kyla,
Same for me!! will be at Mt A. My doc ask me to admit at 9am, then start inducing, then at approx 3pm, he will come and burst water bag. Think we'll see each other tho I dunno how you look like... y do you need to induce?

terrier/preciousbabe,
Dr advise induce becos bb movement had decreased so he think safer to come out. anyway, he said i already 37 weeks, so bb is mature liao and today he check my cervix, said it had soften, ready for labour.
