Hi, managed to sneak some time to update while baby is asleep.
Can someone add me into the list of mummies who have popped?

Kid #2
Gynae - A/Prof John Tee
Hospital - KKH
Sex of baby - Girl
Weight - 3.195kg

Quick summary of the delivery:
5Dec, 7.30am - made my way to KKH delivery suite
9.30am - gynae came n checked, cervix still abt 3cm, he broke water bag, started drip to induce
11am - start to have mild contractions
Near 12noon - midwife checked n said I'm abt 5-6cm, shd be soon
12.20pm - the urge to push was soooooo extreme, luckily gynae came back in time
12.29pm - a 3.195kg baby girl was born
6Dec - Gynae told me can discharge since I am recovering well, which I'm pretty surprised, thought will stay till Fri
So far, ok except having problem wz breastfeeding. Baby is not latching correctly, she sucked til my nipple hurt & bleed. Kind of feeling stress cos #1 dun hv that problem. I regret only bf #1 for 2+ mths. Since I'm not working this time round, was planning to bf for at least 6mths, yet it is not working out. sob sob... Anyone consulted lactation consultant before or got any lactation consultant to recommend? Where can I get help?
Anyway, since baby is having jaundice, will feed her formula while I pump milk out to get rid of engorgement (it hurts till I can't sleep at times).
Oh, another thing that cos me much worrying, baby failed hearing test. Have to go back in 1mth time to recheck, if fail again, will be referred to specialist. Anyone got anything to share on this? I'm praying hard everything will be ok.
