Aspialle, just realise you're the one who said we don't take confinement food right after delivery, is that so? Up to now I always hear that we start confinement food immediately. But to avoid chicken due to our wound.
(2006/10) OCTOBER 2006 MTB
- Thread starter leetung
- Start date
I think there are some 2nd time experience mummies...
Can share your experience after birth:-
1) how fast we can recover after delivery? I heard 1week for normal birth and 2weeks C-section.
2) Is CL really good?
3) Is it difficult to take care of newborn within the first month? Can we cope without CL but with maid? If per my hb plan, I will have my hb work from hm, CL + maid when I do confinement, can play MJ liao..kekekeke
4) any other consideration...

Oh ya, regarding food to avoid for jaundice, does it include tomato, orange, mango, papaya? I realise I eat a lot of orange and yellow colour food. Looks like gotta change my diet habit.
hi mummyjoy and coral
frm experience of elderly, they told me cannot start taking "pu" immediately after birth, meaning first 10-12 days we eat normal food but cannot drink plain water.After 10-12 days then we eat those "confinement food" those with chicken or alcohol
hi mummyjoy
the first week after bb is born it is best to use pampers first cos bb pee v often, after that can use cloth diaper in the day and pampers at night then no need to use so many pampers(v exp)
thus the machine shld be useful then
1) how fast we can recover after delivery?
depends on individual, for normal delivery if ur skin is gd, the wound may recover abt 1 week later, if not ard 2 weeks
2) Is CL really good?
depends on ur luck whether ur CL is gd. they will relieve ur burden of taking care of bb at night so that u can slp..do household chores and cook for u...not so tiring for u and ur mum/in laws
3) Is it difficult to take care of newborn within the first month? Can we cope without CL but with maid? If per my hb plan, I will have my hb work from hm, CL + maid when I do confinement, can play MJ liao..kekekeke
it depends, not all maid are specialised in taking care of bb, but CL is trained in that..but again it depends on ur CL whether she is really gd
above are just my opinions...im a first time mum...but see frm others ba

mmummjoy,
i would go for option 1.
i've got a maid now and it took her slightly more than a month for her to get used to the way i want things to be done. Unless the maid you get is experienced, otherwise you have to teach her everything from scratch. And not forgetting, if the maid is not suitable, you'll have to send her back and wait for another.
1) how fast we can recover after delivery? I heard 1week for normal birth and 2weeks C-section.
My 1st one was c-section. By 2nd week, you'll feel better but still cannot carry any heavy things. i only started bathing bb on my own in the 4th week cos i couldn't carry the bath tub of water before that.
2) Is CL really good?
My CL was a godsend. i gave birth 1 week b4 CNY so my CL could not come until after the 1st 3 days of CNY. In the 1st week, hubby took leave to cook and take care of bb. We can sense the difference the moment CL comes. At least there's more variety in the food and we picked up a lot of bbcare tips from her.
3) Is it difficult to take care of newborn within the first month? Can we cope without CL but with maid?
Newborn in the 1st week is easy to take care of, they eat and sleep most of the time. but from 2nd week onwards, they become more alert. And then all the other problems set in, eg colic which is very common. or bb may start being more aware of the environment and start crying for dunno what reason especialy in the evening. As new parents, it can be quite unnerving because we dunno what is wrong with bb.
Maid are usually not experienced in bbcare, at most they will just relieve you of all the housework.
wendy,
i'll opt for C section this time round. Just have not decided to undergo GA or epidural c-section.

hi mummyjoy,
1) how fast we can recover after delivery? I heard 1week for normal birth and 2weeks C-section.
i had c-sec for my 1st child due to breech. I remember that i can walk around the room during the 2nd day with the help of painkillers. I even went to shower..keke.. But very troublesome with all the tubes (for urine, blood) hanging below. Until now i still cant forget the feeling.
By the end of the 1st week, im already going to my friends' place with my hb for MJ sessions. Haha..
2) Is CL really good?
I didnt hire CL lei. Cus dont feel that it's worth it. Instead, we decide to hire a maid.
3) Is it difficult to take care of newborn within the first month? Can we cope without CL but with maid?
My mil & maid took care of bb during the 1st mth while i try to learn.
coral,
fruits will cause jaundice ar?? that time i gave birth, my bb quite high in jaundice. the doctor says it's quite common for chinese due to our diet. eg ginger (my fave food).
babygrace,
you mean it's not safe to try natural birth if it's less den 2yrs since last birth?? Alamak, i just gave birth last oct (c-sec), still hoping i can try natural this time wor. Haiz, seems like it's c-sec for me again.

ndra, I also dunno, that's why asking if anyone nhere knows. Cos I do eat papaya, orange, mango, tomatoes, etc. All these are also orange and yellow in colour, so not sure if anyone knows if they're ok or will cause jaundice...You very good hor, after 1st wk can go for MJ session. Pei fu, pei fu.
ndra,
it depends on your gynae lor. i know of some gynae who still encourages vbac(vaginal birth after caesarian) even when the previous birth is less than 2 yrs. But i think my gynae wants to play it safe. The risk is not high but he was hoping to minimise it and he just lets me know the risk involved. If i still wanna insist on vbac, he'll still do it.
coral,
i ate all those orange and yellow food during my 1st one also. Don't think it's related to jaundice. My boy had slight jaundice (which is very common for chinese babies) and underwent phototherapy during our stay at the hospital but was ok enough to be discharged together with me.

coral same like u, i oso worried if the things i eat will cause jaundice to baby later. i oso heard its v easy 4 chinese babies to get jaundice like wat ndra's mum said.
but i asked gynae, she said no such thing leh.
so i think we hv to gauge our own diet lah. my mum say when when we see the baby being stuck wif tubes and left in the machine 4 jaundice, our hearts will break!
i kena stayed inside for 1 wk when i was borned...
but i asked gynae, she said no such thing leh.

Don't worry k, you and BB will be fine. It's a dream, i think nightmares are common for us. Cos everyday we worry if we eat enough and do enough for BB...
Is there anyone who wanna sign up for Prenatal classes? I signed up for mine with TMC's Parentcraft. They still have available slots for Saturdays and Sundays in June and July from what I last saw. =) Total of 6 classes.

wendy,
both of us seems to dream alot at night ya... anyway, u know it is a dream so dun worry too much. i had a pretty good dream yesterday. dreamt of me feeding bb n dressing him in 1 of the rompers i bought recently. i think the dream came cos i was very happy last night while watching Da Chang Jin, Caleb kicked me n i cld even see a tiny bump on my big bump...
so fascinating... i was elated... tis morning he kicked a few times again while i on the bus...
jaundice
========
remember just eat everything in moderation. i havent heard of fruits causing jaundice but ginger yes hence i avoid gingery stuff. to counter, take more oat lor... anyway, oat is a healthy food so no harm lor...

I salute you leh.. you can tahan until it stops... I cannot leh.. almost screaming for help liao... and my hb will still be snoring away until I boxed him lor... he will stone stone wake up and suddenly realised what happen and immediately pull my leg straight. Then right after my cramp stops, he will straight away fall back to sleep... it all can happen within just less then 3 mins... so far happened for a few nites liao.. very scared...
Told my gynae before and she told me that as my job is high risk lor... need to stand/walk for long hours so best is to massage your legs esp. calf area and thigh gentlely as often as possible.. drink more milk (more calcium but I dun like leh...) so far, hb only tried massaging once for me...
Some of the nites after reaching home hor after a taxing teaching day, can really predict the leg cramp coming at nite one leh.. super scary...

hi hi aspialle..
ya..thks..now i know it's just a dream..so i went back to sleep..was chatting with one of a friend..then she shared with me her incident during her pregnancy..we both agreed that when u think too much over any incident, then u will have such dreams lor..hehe..oh, think i got to double check with my mum on the confinement food..thks~
hi hi Vivian..
ya..thks..so envy u..last night hubby was telling MIL & FIL abt hands-me down..then MIL say dun want to "ask" from others as she feel that it's a "shameful" thing..like we dun have $ to buy..how come they dun understand getting hands-me down is gd, bcoz can let the baby grow up healthy lor..so sad..
coral, hehehe, just joking cos' 4adults taking care of 1BB, got spare time can play MJ..kekekeke. Me also take oranges & papaya, i think moderate ok lah, don't take everyday and in large portion should be fine right?
MTBs,
If cannot take oranges & papaya, then we have limited fruits to take, I take oranges & papaya, mango, grava, apple, kiwi & pears etc, what other fruits you all take? Can we take dragonfruits huh? Actually I heard too much use of the herbal stuff will also cause jaundice leh, do you all think it is true? Like Ang mo don't take and their BBs seldom have jaundice.
aspialle,
oh, can only take after 10-12days...so should instruct CL to prepare normal food for us after 2 weeks or do you think they know the practice? hahaha, I still blur on the term use, nappy mean cloth diaper and pampers the disposable, am I right?
babygrace,
so lucky of u to meet a good CL, did she do the marketing for you daily or weekly. Any idea how much $ we need to give her for marketing for our meals? Oic..so we better get more rest on 1st week after birth then get ready for the subsequent challenging week to come
ndra,

wow, you can move ard after day 2 of C-Sec, your tolerance level must be very high.
Wtan dear,
I sanyang, sanyang you, don't worry abt your dreams....maybe you can try soft music and hot bath/drink to relax yourself or put your pillows out to sun...

oh ya vivian , dun take oranges...my dad told me will cause cramp too.now i stop eating liao

Hi wtan, i think you mixed up Selina and me liao... it is my hb who is going reservist... hee... I dun think I can go back my mum's place coz of my dad's condition right now... see how lah...
As for the hands-me down, maybe your MIL and FIL just wanted all new things for their grandson lah... sayang him mah... dun be sad... anyway, I believe when your friends or relatives gave things to you, they will be happy to accept too...
Actually, my SIL is also in a difficult position coz me and my eldest SIL are pregnant ard the same time (she is 3 weeks ahead of me)... so when she wanted to give things away, she got to decide give what to who and still be fair lor... last nite, before she pass us the things, she also make sure we dun tell my eldest SIL coz scared my eldest SIL will think that she show favoritism... a bit pai seh myself.. so I also din take everything, told her to pass some to my eldest SIL instead... esp. both of their bbs are girl and mine is boy... think some stuff are more suitable to her than me lah...

mummyjoy,
i sometime also got constipation cos i drink very little water (have nv been a water drinker b4 so now abit hard to change the habit but trying) but i still eat 'heaty fruits' cos they are all my favourite. will jus have to take them only occasionally lor... then remind myself to drink a lot of water... i think mango also considered 'heaty fruit'... a fruit juice stall aunty told me papaya milk is very good for breast milk for pg woman but i dun like the milk they use outside so i prefer to make my own papaya smoothie... i will add yogurt too... y dun u make strawberry smoothie yourself then wont b so sour lor... very ez, jus milk, ice cubes, strawberries, all blend together. if u like yogurt, then add some, add bowel removal too...

wtan, no worry abt the dream. I dream of blood during my 4th mth. I think it is normal for pregnant to dream a lot cos we have so many things to worry abt. From 1st to 3rd mth, we worry abt miscarriage, from 4th to 7th, we worry the health of baby and sometimes feel gulity of what we done during the 1st stage. from 8th to 9th mth, we worry abt the delivery, will it be smmoth or very painful. I think the dream let us to vent out our worry.
wtan,
I think nightmares quite common leh.. I keep having them also.. Sometimes can even cry in sleep!
beanie,
For my case, moodswings during pregnancy is worse den during pms (thats what my hb told me). Sometimes i get irritated for no reason, sometimes just dont want to do anything. Oh! And the other time i was preg, i even got suspicious of my hb seeing other women when he had guard duty (he's still in ns). We ended up calling each other after every hr throughout the night till he got back in the morning. i think i almost drive him crazy. hahaha.
vivian,
I also dun like to drink milk. So i drink soya bean instead. Maybe u can try that too
mmummjoy,
Dont think my tolerance level is high. i think they the dosage of painkiller they gave is enuf for me to feel nothing! Every few hrs the nurse will check on me and if i felt any pain, can tell them, they will increase dosage or something. So my wound doesnt hurt at all but my breasts hurts alot!
