Hi Vanessa Lu,
yup, there are total 4-5 session (whole pck cost $42 or per session cost $12). anyway, I'm gg to KKh for Antenal class next mid of the mth with hubby.
but mummy to be still need to buy formula to feed the bb for the first 2 days, right?
oic, thks, will take note of that for the burping part, so bf got lot of benefits. oic, gd, cos one dunno when will the contraction or water bag burst before full term.so does that mean that during yr given EDD date (if do not have any early delivery), one will 'report' for admission? it's kind of anxious waiting....esp for first time mum.
oic, so the nurse will help out. will one feel dizzy after delivery and also painful when pass urine? or else what is the feeling like after delivery?
pai seh to ask so many qns. quite anxious....to know that....thks.

Just for some infor,
some mild swelling sometimes occured during the pregnancy, esp in the ankles and feet. It's called edema, and it happens because changes in the blood chemistry cause fluid to shift into the tissue and because the enlarging uterus puts pressure on the veins returning blood from the lower half of your body, slowing circulation in your legs. Edema is often worse at the end of the day and in the summer. the body will eliminate the extra fluid after one has the baby (which is why you may urinate often and sweat a lot for a few days after delivery). In the meantime, put your feet up when you can, stretch out your legs when one sit, avoid sitting still for long periods, exercise regularly to increase circulation, and wear support stockings (put them on first thing in the morning). One may be tempted to skimp on liquids, but one need to drink plenty of water, because keeping hydrated actually helps prevent swelling. If one notice severe or sudden swelling in your hands and face, be sure to call the midwife or doctor because it may be a sign of a serious condition called preeclampsia.

BB does not need formula. They can survive on the colustrum during the first 3 days. Milk will start coming from the 4th day onward

hehe...^^afcai,
ya, as some of them have told you, no formula for newborn, and especially newborn, cos newborn have a stomach size of a golf ball, imagine, it's that small, if given formula, as formula is very filling, it will expand and stretch the stomach, that's the reason why formula can last longer between feeds, cos bb feel bloated after formula.....btw, having formula around will discourage u from breastfeeding, cos everytime when problem arise, u will not turn for help or continue to latch on and breastfeed, u will tends to turn to formula for help, hence having a formula at home is a hindrance to breastfeeding...
As for the EDD part, when u are abt to due, but no sign of contractio yet, gynae will check ur amino fluid if it's enough to drag the pregnancy to 42 weeks, else when it's time, they will require u to "report" yourself. During my 1st pregnacy, my gynae actually does not support induce for my 1st birth, but due to the lack of the fluid, I got to report on the next day of my due date.
Whether one feel dizzy after labour depends on how long u push and ur body condition. Some ppl do not feel any giddiness and some does. For my case, my 1st birth was the worst, cos as I've said before, I'm in labour for 20+ hours, which means I only ate abit for 2 days and pushed for 4 hours, hence after my labour, I was actually drained out, I was weak n giddy. I even need help to carry my own baby, cos I'm really too weak to walk to the cubicle to do that. As for urine, it's not painful, cos it's from a different hole
, but initially, pass motion may have problem, cos u will be scare that u will strain and burst the stitches if there's any... I was given medication to soften the stool upon my discharge for my 1st birth, but I don't remember I'm given any for my 2nd.
Hopefully, my answers above will be able to solve ur doubts.

cannot remember who talked about having a budget of $100+ for bb cot, then someone else mentioned that can try 2nd hand (its after midnight and I had just finished the laundry so pardon me for not digging through the postings to check!).
I just found one (not promoting this person hor, just that I am looking at maternity items). http://auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i:BABY%20COT%2FCRIB%20at%20best%20price%21:110410344 There should be more out there....
to the other mommy (was it och or mbb?) asking about the cloth changing mat, my sis tried to find at Isetan and John Little but to no avail. I then kapo and email to pigeon's local branch and they replied that they had stopped this product due to manufacturing defect and new items will only come after Oct 06. I guess we will still be on time, but at Kiddy Palace, I also saw cloth changing mat by other brands (incl cute piyo piyo) so maybe you can check it out? But for me I might just wait for the Pigeon one cos at least my sis had used it before and confirmed that it is waterproof and it is cooler.

hello all,
to mummies of not so active babies :
went for gynae appt liao, all is great w baby.
i asked gynae abt my baby being not so active, he says baby sleeps most of the time, when i sleep i oso dont move much rite? (my gynae is a little bit of a joker one)
i oso mentioned that my baby dont really kick but just move move, he say then u are lucky! u can get good nite sleep. he says nearing the last month, the baby's kick will get 6 or 7 times stronger, by then it will be quite hard for me to get a good nite sleep.
he oso pointed out baby's movement while doing u/s but tummy wise i cannot feel.. maybe i got thick skin...
wahh.. vanessa!! really envy you!! 25 yrs old n u are expecting your 3rd child? tat was like one of my growing up dreams (ie start a family young)
btw, got question abt bf & giving baby water during the first few days. my friend mentioned that when she delivered, her baby got jaundice and was put under the blue light, and the baby was sortof dehydrated coz when the baby wee wee, just a bit came out n got a little bit of blood too. when she told the nurse they bottle fed him with water.. and then she had a hard time to latch him on. is it right for the nurse to bottle feed him water? or is tat not necessary?
bloom, thanks for the info on the pigeon cloth changing mat... was looking for it over the weekend too. can patiently wait till oct first...

Hi ladies,
Dunno when the Robinson sales is going to end, but seems to me they have got endless sales..
I wanted to go Robinson at Centre today, saw John Little got sales thus go there to see see lor.
For those who haven bought steriliser, fyi the IQ24 Avent steriliser also have the 20% discount at John Little leh. Thot someone mentioned that Avent doesn't have sales for the latest product.. Ask the lady and she said got 20% for all regular items leh..
Initiatlly wanted to get the cheaper version without IQ, but since the IQ wan got discount, and Taka baby sale was still selling at $198. So I quickly grab the IQ steriliser at JL.. Was $158.40 after discount. Can pay the rest and get 5% rebate. But I offset it with $120 vouchers, so only get rebate for the $38.40 only lor..
Should be a good buy I think.. Anyway, bought liao I didn't go to Robinson sales any more..
Anyone saw the Graco Playpen at Robinson or not? From the brochure, it looks small in dimension to me. Does it comes with a diaper changing station?

arrghh! it's monday!!!
Morning Ladies,
Ya, Monday again.....
How many more Mondays we need to go thru till we give birth huh? Then can enjoy our maternity leave with the bb...
Starluster,
Hope the following will help to answer ur question:
JAUNDICE
Above 90% of our local babies here tend to be jaundiced to some degree, especially Chinese babies.
5 mg% or 85 mmol/l Very slight; jaundice just visible
12mg% or 204 mmol/l If the baby is under 3 days, treatment would be advisable
15mg% or 250 mmol/l If the baby is more than 3 days, treatment may be necessary.
Please note that the levels stated above are a rough guide only. A doctor may decide to commence treatment at different levels depending on the age, weight, and rate of increase of the bilirubin in a baby.
Cause of jaundice is important. A G6PD baby may have very high jaundice level by day 2, and require immediate treatment. Physiological jaundice that rises to a peak between Day 3 7 and then tails off, is not a source of worry. Breast milk jaundice or breastfeeding jaundice is usually not a cause of worry. However, if suspected breast milk jaundice reaches 20 mg % (340 mmol/l) and beyond, many itself does not result in brain damage, there is always the possibility that there are other pathological causes aggravating the jaundice.
Interruption of breastfeeding: if a doctor recommends an interruption of breastfeeding to see if the level will drop, a cessation of 48 hours is all that is required. If the bilirubin level drops very dramatically, that is strong indication that it is breast milk jaundice. After the drop, breastfeeding can resume. The level may rise again, but doctor and mother can monitor this, and appropriate response worked out. If the bilirubin level does not drop, it is pathological jaundice, and treatment will commence for the baby, and the mother can safely continue with breastfeeding.
If breastfeeding is interrupted, the mother should be advised to express her milk regularly e.g. every 2 hours, for 15-20 minutes on each time. This will prevent engorgement, as well as to keep the supply strong when the baby comes back to the breast after 2 days.
Three weeks is an important threshold for jaundiced babies, as by this time, he blood-brain barrier is formed, and the baby is protected from the danger of having bilirubin in the blood flow into the brain, running the risk of brain damage.
Actually if you had told the nurse in the hospitabl that u want to Total Breastfeed ur bb, no bottle will be introduce, they will spoon or cup feed ur baby, but then if the bb in the nursery, we do not know how the nurse feed the bb lah, so if really want to breastfeed, it's either u room in with the baby or check on the nurse frequently.
Ya, Monday again.....

Jackie,
Oh my workplace is nearer to the Maxwell market & Amoy hawker side. I always buy lunch from these 2 places. Tg Pagar market a bit far for me, I only walk there for lunch when the weather is good, or when I've the energy, hee hee!!
Afcai,
Oh the blood drip only 1st day or so...so juz delivered baby mah... Yes, every toilet visit, I washed the wound & dapped with the spirit water with cotton wool given by nurse. When the spirit water touched the wound hor...the pain was terrible. Keep the wound dry & clean then will heal faster.
Oh I don't believe in the myth saying 'cannot touch water etc...' I bathed & washed hair daily when I was discharged. But I used those herbs lor & closed all windows. Finished bathing, quickly blow dry my hair then open the windows.

Calynn,
most likely won't be bathing for the first 12 days lor.... not really strict lah, although not bathing, but I clean myself with warm water everyday lor, if not really sticky leh....I wash my bottom everytime I change my pad, so still ok lah.... tahan a bit lor what to do... I do have a colleague, very ang mo, she nvr follows the rules at all, she said she step into the shower room the moment she's back in her ward and bath everyday, but she's all fine, but 1 thing, she drinks alot.... she take dom everyday even now and she drinks alot of wine, so guess her body can take it bah....
I think depends on individual lah, personally, i wouldn't take the risk, cos ultimately we are the one who suffers.

Good morning ladies..yes! It's monday again!!!
Doremi,
I went Robinson on Saturday. As usual, nothing much interesting to buy. Wanted to buy the Mustela stretchmark cream but they didn't have 20% off for this brand...then I went to Taka baby fair..bought several items again such as nail clipper, changing mat and some clothings..Taka has 15% off for mustela products ..
Shihui,
I scare baby will outgrown the clothings very fast so I bought those 3-6 mths size.. will be big for a typical newborn but at least can wear for longer time..
Vanessa,
Is there any way to prevent Jaundice? Has it got something to do with the diet of the mother?
MBB,
The La Vida Loft Yoga is quite good..not too tedious and the pace is just right..Both me and hubby enjoyed ourselves very much

Vanessa,
My family hor...everybody told me to bathe leh...hee hee...even last time I saw a chinese physician, she also told me to bathe. Her theory is - she said hor...here is not China leh...no winter. Cos in China winter, pple hv to walk far far to the well to fetch water. Water fr well very cold so must boil with alcohol & they seldom bathe cos winter mah...then hv to wrap head, body & legs etc. But she said S'pore so hot, dun bathe later heat rash or unhygiene lor...

So far so good. Some old folks (not fr my family) & some colleagues, when they heard I bathed daily during confinement, they shook head & said next time old liao then I know, blah blah...
I think it's up to individual lor...if 1 can tahan, then follow. My colleague who gave birth in June, she followed closely. Nvr bathed & eat confinement food with alcohol. She hearsay fr those aunty that all food must add a lot of alcohol & ginger. So she instructed her CL to do so. In the end she got 'feng1 mo4' - terrible heat rash, itchy dunno like what. Then she saw GP & gave her injection to stop itch. After that she bathe daily & stop taking so much alcohol food & she felt much better.
I think alcohol & ginger, juz sparingly lor...not that pple say good, must add a lot...different pple, different body.

No I didn't bathe fr day 1. I bathed & washed my hair b4 I gave birth. So was in hospital for 3 days, 2 nites. Once discharged & reached home, that afternoon started bathing liao.
U staying with your in-laws? If not, then they dunno mah...hee hee... It actually depends on individual thinking lor... I also blowed my hair dry then opened the windows. I bathed in the afternoon, abt 12-1pm. Not early morning lor...
B4 pregnant I already wash my hair daily, I really can't tahan the oily scalp, itchy body etc....

Calynn,
Depends on the CL lor...some CL very 'protective' type...cos she has this responsibility to look after the baby & the mother. So CL may stop u fr bathing. My colleague's CL very strict. That time during confinement, a few other colleagues visited her @ home. 1 of them also pregnant & the CL didn't allow the pregnant colleague to touch or see the newborn at all. CL pantang.

I still consume lor, but for alcohol, I'll make sure it's cook n not drink from glass, cos alcohol contents are burnt off during cooking, and if lots of alcohol is involve like those tonic, I will drink at nite after my last feed, to prevent alcohol contents from entering my milk. Generally, I'm ok with abit of this and that, but not alot lor, I don't like to eat ginger, hence, ginger also being minimize in my diet during confinement....
