Hi mummies,
for e convenience of piyo, u may 1 2 PM piyo ur bb's details such as name, DOB, weight, etc so she can update e table in her free time while she's on ML.
wif e updated table, mayb we can organise a gathering once e last mummy in tis thread finishes her confinement.

i was in pain so was unable to sit on chair too long. so mostly i bed rest.
I guess i am having postnatal blues. I really keep crying and crying,
Its not my baby who make me cry its my MIL.
She keep hugging on to my ger i don't even have chance to breast feed her. I got to pump out and secretly add into the formula milk.
Luckily this is going to be over soon i moving back to my mum hs for confinement. I still baring with my mil.
told hubby i will go mad with my mil do confinement for me.
How can mother and daugther been separated.
Just now my ger was crying non stop i trying to get chance to comfort my ger but she don;t let me carry her at all. once i carried she will carry it back.
haiz just feel more hours to endure.........gambadeh.

Have a speedy recovery ya!
I understand what you mean.
Some of our folks are really traditional.
They wanted the new mothers to really rest well during the confinement & take charge of the caring of the newborns.
Top of that, they may think that we don't really know much about taking care of newborn so they take over lor ...
However, they forgot that we are just equally concerned over our newborns too.
Hang in there ay!

I am 2cm dilated, lost my mucous plug, experienced Braxton Hicks as well as some occasional painful contractions and did my squats.
However, Jul still shows no signs of arriving.
I think he knows that Daddy's very busy.
DH has been returning to work these days till late at night to rush a shipment.

bfeeding going well, got a lot of milk but also means im perpetually engorged

Leon is so adorable!
So glad that you are feeling much better already.
So it's okay to pump & dump lah ...
I did that too.
Remember the cabbage leaves, it helps relieve engorgement.

hey Noe
heehee
if u look at the video u'll notice he has dimples too, esp on the right.
Thanks for the help, you were a life saver, believe me, I was jus feeling so miserable and helpless in the hospital, sobbing at my 5 bedder when my hubby had to go back to work
All is better now with the support of my family, and i jus feel so much better at home
started my massage with Mona, into my 4th session tomorrow! its vvv good and effective. guess what? mona and me are fortunately neigbours! her condo is jus a few blocks away from mine, so she comes to my plc at 8am every morning and can hopefully do more than 5 sessions with me.
i love bebe leon vvvv much! i am overwhelmed by motherhood and what it does to me. now i understand fully wat it means when pp say that a mother's love is the greatest love.
hope u pop soon, and im looking forward to seeing all the mommies here v soon!
havent been using cabbage leaves yet .. so far i jus pump n throw seems effective. i want to introduce the bottle v soon, but vv scared he'll get nipple confusion. right now he latches on v well, but v slow feeder and likes to 'snack' drink milk, which is so tiring for me ...
he sleeps well during the day but not night ... guess all this is part of mommy hood. gee - - really need to invest in a good eye cream, my eyebags r ridiculous ...

hi pupsandcups,
ur baby had high thyroid levels. mine too and had to be discharged a few days after me. was initially stressed and worried too. luckily managed to clear the 2nd thyroid test. do u have to bring baby back for another thyroid test? I have to. hopefully, my baby will not get thyroid due to me otherwise I'll be feeling very bad about it.
Hi cat,
me also crying for the 1st 2 wks. think hormones went berserk. very sensitive. mil also kept asking me to go and rest. know she meant well but i was just very upset that i din have much opportunity to carry and bond with my baby. Now things are slightly better cos my confinement lady will be leaving in 2 weeks time so I told them I need to learn and practice feeding and changing my baby.
anyway, u going back to ur mum's house for confinement so things shd get better. be more positive and if need be, can post in this thread or call us. we'll lend a listening ear. i feel so much better after talking to kelly and a few friends.
hi noe,
wow, ur baby's really comfortable in ur womb. dun want to see the world so soon rite?
perhaps u deliver within the week's out.

Don't mention. I didn't do much actually.
Oh yes ... Home support is definitely a blessing.
I saw Leon's dimple! Quite a deep one too.
Heh heh ... Yeah, can see the mummy's love & contentment when you were carrying Leon.
It's really amazing huh, finally holding the life that we have carried for almost 40 weeks.
Yeah, it can be very tiring the initial weeks especially as babies have no sense of day & night.
Hang in there girl! You can one! Heh heh ...
Wah ha ha ... I am having panda eyes too and I am not even doing confinement yet! Aiyoo ...
Mona's staying that near you? That's great!
I will have to wait for some time before I experienced Mona's massage skills.

Yeah ... I was wondering too.
Perhaps that's what they meant by each pregnancy is different. Not only the pregnancy symptoms but the weeks of gestation as well.
Nonetheless, most importantly baby's well and healthy & not too big for natural delivery.
She said it shouldn't be a problem since this is my #3 already.
Visiting her later in the morning, let's see how we have progress then.

Cynthia has delivered Baby Natalie this morning at 1.52am.
Both Mummy and baby are doing well!
Let's wait for her to share her birth experience when she's back.

I am still working in the office - Thur will be my last working day. Thereafter will take leave & MC to rest at home until I pop. Hopefully can pop over the weekend. My GY visit is Fri.

Jasmine and lala:
Yes, I'm still here and my gut feeling tells me I'll get past this weekend... *cross fingers*... and perhaps even past 28/8 EDD.
Had my appt this afternoon and nothing seems to be happening yet. CTG shows NO contractions. Gynae also didn't do VE check (heng ah!).
Going on ML from Fri onwards. Getting sick and tired of work and I just need some time to myself to do the things I wanna do before the imminent delivery. Then again, if it's not happening until the 42nd week, then I'd have "wasted" 3 weeks of ML! Oh dear!
Noe delivered already?

Leia,
your GY never suggest to induce?? how to dahan till week 42?? I can't imagine! I will only start my ML from the day I deliver. During my GY visit on this friday, if nothing really happens, I will request GY to give me MC. hehe.. so as not to waste my annual leave or ML.
really really pray pray my gal will pop on Fri or Sat or Sun !!! cant wait anymore !!

hi hi,
long time no come in.. Just come in and say hi!
Also wanna inform you gers that Noe sms me last night that she has popped yesterday afternoon! Let's wait for her to share her details with you
Today is exactly 1week after the csec... My birth story very short.
Tue 15th Aug:
12midnight: Check-in ward, shaved a bit, rested but could not sleep coz baby kicked the hardest the whole night thru, think she knows she is coming out very soon..
5.00am: Nurse gave edema, clear stools.
7.30am: Wheeled into ops theatre
7.45am: Anasthetican came and gave epidural
8.00am: Anasthetican tested if I can feel numb from waist down
8.10am: Gynae commenced ops.
8.25am: Heard baby Megan's 1st cry.
8.45am: Ops completed and brought to recovery ward. I felt the stitching up process was worse than recovering after. I can feel my tummy being tugged here and there. yucks!
10am: wheeled back to my own ward.
I was discharged on Friday morning. There were 2 rounds of cord ard Megan's neck which was the main reason that she was not growing well in my tummy for the past few weeks. She weighs only 2.255kg when borned.
Like what Kelly prepared me (thanks Kelly!), PD advised me to supplement her after latching for the week I was in hospital till my milk kicks in as her weight would drop by the time she is discharged. I am back home and she is on TBF. Like butter8, spending all the time latching and pumping. Today brot her back to PD for check up, she now weighs 2.44kg
can I ask how long does your baby latch each time? Mine keeps falling asleep on 1 breast after 10-15mins. But she can sleep very long, like 2-3hours each time. I can't guage how much she is drinking within that short span of time. Now I pumped out after latching so that i can give her EBM as well. Anyone doing the same like me?
If I get a chance, will post Megan's pic soon.
I have missed out quite a bit of postings and would take some time to read. Can you pm me your details when you popped so that I can continue to collate and post later?
Holding baby in our arms is indeed a joyful experience! Those who have not popped, good luck and enjoy the moment!!!

mummies,
any news fr bottle or peachsorbet or any other mummies who MIA recently?
piyo,
congrats! did megan's weight drop when she was discharged? she's doing well, gained a lil weight. well done! juz 2 share wif u, my GF's daughter was 2.3kg at birth, 1 wk later 2.5kg. at 5wks+, she weighs 4.2kg. e girl is mostly on 70-80% FM, e remaining is EBM or latching. u use it as a gauge.
u stopped giving megan FM? how much EBM is she drinking now? it's normal for bb 2 fall asleep while latching, it's gd tat megan sleeps 4 2-3hrs cos it means she's getting enuff milk n is resting well. edward also latches for average 8-10mins n he can KO for 2-3hrs. if he nurses fr both breasts, he can even KO for 4-5hrs (5hrs is rarely lah)
does she have any jaundice? if no, stick wif TBF. if u pump out after latching, how much EBM do u get?
white lady,
do post pics of ur bb too when u r posting peddie's bb pics.

Hi mummies,
I am May mummy. I wonder who is the one whose intend to order 2 cans of similac formula milk for stage 1 (0-6mths)?
Are you interested? I am helping my girlfriend to order, so no need min 6 cans (cos bulk order). still at $26 per tin.
You have to self collect @ my hse @ Sengkang and do make payment first, in case, back out last mintue. I already had 6tins from my recent order will last 2.5mths.
Do email me again. Thanks

pupsandcups,

hi all mummies,
so long never post le....congrats to all who've delivered, and jia you to those still waiting.
Here's my birth story;
Seen GY on 15th and was told BB will be on the big side, so suggested induction or else wait till my EDD on 22nd, by then BB may be 3.5kg. Finally decided to go in for induction on 18th before my GY goes abroad on Sat.
On 18th,
1+am : Admitted into MAH, got strapped onto CTG to do baseline monitoring.
2+am: Prostin pessary inserted to start induction. Contraction was painful but bearable.
8.45am: I was only dilated 1cm and cervix still very stubborn. Seen by GY, contraction was regular so I was started on Oxytoxin drip to further induce.
10.08am: Contraction was really painful so started on Epidural, so my lower half all numbed. But during the process, vomitted twice.
4pm: Only managed to dilate 2cm, was very sad. GY said he expected me to dilate till 6cm by 8pm or else may have to stop induction. He was very encouraging, called me on my mobile at 6pm to boost my morale...hee
8pm: To everyone's surprise, I've dilated to 8cm. Everybody rushing to get things ready for my delivery.
10pm: GY arrives and getting ready to deliver my BB. Was told my BB's head already crowning, hubby can see top of the head too. Felt weak after so many hours of induction but everyone including hubby was so encouraging, telling me to push whenever contraction comes.
Finally at 10+ (sori I pantang abt the timing), Denise was borned with the help of forceps bcos her shoulder was stuck. And she weighs a hefty 3.68kg.
When she was put on me, I cried with so much joy! Had a hard time but it's all worth it!

hi white lady,
Hmmm... so I am not the only one who felt this way... cos pple tell me it;s after the ops that's super pain but I felt that part is the worst! It's not too bad an experience. Think the next time I may got for epi csec again
hi kelly,
some told me not all such cord cases can be detected via the ultrascans... i also dunno leh... gynae mentioned heng I opt for epi-csec else i would end up with emer c due to the cord case. Btw, my baby pooed inside liao before taking her out. The water and placenta were green..
Ya, her wt dropped from 2.255 to 2.19kg when discharged. Today we brot her back to PD, she gained wt now is 2.44kg! PD asked me continue to give TBF/EBM.
I stopped giving Megan FM since Friday morning. She now latches about 10-15mins on 1breast then KO off for anout 2-3hrs. 10-15mins can drink alot ah? somemore only 1 breast leh.. so after that I continue with about 50mlEBM. I asked PD the amt ok, he says that's good enuf for babies her wt..
She no jaundice when discharged. Today PD says very slight but it's okie
so can continue give TBF. Ask you ah, give EBM is also considered TBF?
After latching, I can get about 60-100ml depending on different times of the day. I tend to get more in the morning. Is that the usual case?
