Serene,
I'm already 2cm dilated from last sat's appointment. My baby is 3.2kg now. She did mention that since i have dilated, induced should be no problem. Ya, i'm trying to walk more and do more squattings now. But i guess last minute might not be effective.
Jerejoy,
Ya, our bbs are naughty. heehee. I don't want to end up in c section also. Hope our cervix cooperates this wed.

Eileen, congrats to your cute baby.
Faith, your bb's eyebrows looked like had been nicely shaped!
LING YEE, congrats! WOW, I tot u were just shopping the whole stretch of orchard that morning. First was babypink, now Ling Yee - I think VIGOROUS walking is the key to induce delivery!
Jenifur thanks for posting the article on fussy babies - it's definitely something to look out for.
Btw, wonder what is it like during pushing of baby.. how long typically does it take to completely push out the baby? Some people said 1 - 2 pushes - is it at the height of contraction? Then must breathe in or out during pushing? Or midwife will teach??? WAH.. how how .. i'm trying to visualize the actual labour n delivery!
After that, will the nurse wash the baby, then places the baby on me, or will the nurse just dump the baby on me with the umbilical cord still attached?

eniale, through scanning gynae can tell whether baby is engaged or not. My gynae is able to tell if baby is engaged by simply using 'touch' and then confirmed it with a scan.
poshies, take care and good luck with your c-sec.. how come nid to wait 1 wk?
Reena, I also feel hungry quite perpertually nowadays - though not BFing.. lol

Sheryl,
It doesn't matter how many pushes, it's a matter of how you push. One of my gf, she pushed but when she breathe-in, the bb got "sucked back" into her uterus and after much struggle, my gf's totally exhausted and had to go for emergency c-section as the bb is distressed.

Hi all,
I wish to share my experience with confinement lady with you gals. I thought i got a good confinement lady because when the first day she came, she show me and my husband about her plan of taking care of twins baby - to separate their bottles and note down the feeding time of each of them to prevent mistakes. This, i was very impressed.
But later on i found that her working performance and attitude is terrible!
1) she asked for separation of babies' bottles, but when she used, she mixed up the bottles for both of my baby gals. It defeated the purpose of separated their bottles.
2) at night, when my first baby gal couldn't finish the milk, she put it aside, and when the second baby cry, she feed her with THAT bottle!
3) At night, when she fed my baby, she fell asleep and my babies were 'choke' most of the time.
4) When she prepared the tonic drinks for me, she steal some for herself.
5) I saw her woke up at 3am, and stole my 'black date', and ate in the kitchen, when she saw me walking to the kitchen, she was caught with surprised.
6) when she cook for me, she didn't wash the vege and the chicken, she just cut put it for cooking.
7) she didn't wash her teeth in the morning, when she prepared noodles soap (breakfast) for me, she use her mouth to taste!
8) when she feed my baby, you know sometimes when baby drinks milk, she would tend to stop for awhile, the confinement lady shook the bottle (from left to right) and my baby's head also was shaken too.
9)when i found out that my breast milk containers were mouldy（发霉）, i asked her about it but she pushed responsibility to my dad. ( my dad helped her once in washing the containers since she is too busy) At last, i managed to find another mouldy container which she handled a few days ago. and then she got nothing to say.
10)She tell lies to her own advantage, but cound harmful to us. I found out that she is this kind of person because she spoke out a few difference version for the same thing, which she forgot which version she told me before.
11) she has problem taking care me and my twins baby, she couldn't manage it well.
12) she also ignore cleanliness and hygiene.
13) she also have eyes problem 青光眼, without spectacles, she can't see, the best part is she didn't bring her spec to work while she was working for me.
14) she has throat problem, she told my mom that she needs to eat soft food, and need to drink those tonic drinks (i cna't remember the name) to cure, and she always cook that kind of tonic drinks for me and my family, so that she can drink. I asked her does this tonic drinks good for post-pregnant lady? she said... err, also can. I don't know whether i pay her to cook for me, or i pay her to cook for her!!
I am very disappointed with her, and she could not deliver an average performance for me. She gave me a feeling that she was here to do her time to get the money, cause she told me dad that she need this money to renovate her car park in malaysia!
At the end, i asked her to leave at the day15 after working for me.
Her name is Yu Cui, from 浮蓉, Malaysia. she has a twin sister, also working at confinement lady, but i doubt that they are different. Her sis is Yu Fei. Dear all, be careful while choosing confinement lady.

Hi Ladies
Trying to log in whenever I can. The little one is sleeping now
Handling things better and I also have a sleepless baby at night. Have been trying a few things and now we put him next to us and tap him till he sleeps. He also quite cute, keeps on opening his eyes lightly as if to see if we're still there then he close back and go to sleep.
I realise when I breastfeed him, he sleeps about 2 hr plus max. Sometimes wake up within 1 hr. With FM he sleeps longer and less restless. I have BM and when he drinks, sometimes it even overflow from his mouth. But still like he's not full leh. I suspect he's an hungry baby and maybe I can't keep up with him. Anyway, I'm not giving up and I latch him on most of the time. Alternate FM with BM at night, so he can relax better and I also can catch up with him.Some nights, he suck every hour, until I also feel dry. But I like latching him on, it's like so close and intimate
Still trying to figure him out. Some initial photos to share with you gals. Can't get 1 of him awake and smiling. Smile always goes off b4 I can click!

Yasmin,
BM is supposed to digest easily on babies young and immature digestive system, that's why they get hungry easily and it's perfectly normal for them to wake up for feed every 1-2 hours every night. I have to put up with that myself. Worse thing is, b'cos my masseuse is a strict lady, she advises me that I should not sleep in the day, no naps whatsoever. That's why she gave me the "pilis", the herb that she puts on my head to prevent me from getting sleepy. I must say it works too. My headache/migraine gone immediately after putting that on even though I sleep in blocks of 2-3 hours at night. To-date, my bb does not have a drop of FM. I'd like to maintain that as long as possible.
I'm not trying to sound like a purist but baby's liquid gold lies in you and babies don't breastfeed from you forever. At least dedicate 6 months for your little darlings and you'll find its worth soon. Baby will be more intelligent, attached to you and more importantly, healthier and will have higher immunity. Like I say a lot of things lies in your own will power. Believe in yourself and you can do anything. Just ask Mummy_Norman and Reena, they have 3 kids already leh! I hope to be on my way there too!

Ah forgot to add, for those who does tandem pump, you can give EBM at night and get hubby to feed bb while you sleep. At least babies can still get 100% breast milk. Although the fact is, night time breast milk has the highest fat content and gives your baby the chubbiness that you guys will desire for!
my baby put on 1 kg in one mth!
Melissa
how u manage to flatten yr tummy? wrap? Any other way without using wrap? hahaha...
Waking at night
