(2008/06) June 2008


shinely,

My mum initially invite my aunt but she not free on tat day. then the rest didn't invite we give cakes. My IL say they may invite a few only, the rest give cakes. else invite a lot like v ma fan.

I dun bother whether relatives come or not..i only want to invite my close frens lor.

then cakes also not a lot bec' my mum said 1 cake give to 1 family, and i tink my IL also doing the same thing.
 
All,
I'm doing bb's 1st mth tml! Hopefully it won't be too tiring for me. Have ordered catering and cakes. Cakes from Melrose cause is cheaper. Guess I got to go down office on Monday. Cause I nv think of getting vouchers. Have already order cakes for them but now i think that if keep till Monday will spoil anot?
 
Felicia & Bizznow,
Me too!!! I am in same same situation.

Just came back from gynae check, BB is not engaged and zero dilation.

My BB is 3.5kg in week 39. Already so big. Next appointment is next Friday.
 
Hi Sharon,

Heard from friend they say Melrose cake is more oily and wet.Hopefully not true. Sharon pls feedback and let me know is the cake good bo? if so i can also order. Many thanks

Hi all,
Paiseh for the delay update as my bb super nite bird, will update my birthstory at a later date too. Update on behalf of LengLeng:

I received an SMS from TanLengLeng's hb yesterday, 19 Jun 08:
Hi, baby conelius has just arrived at 1947h. Both mum and baby are well.
 
Priscilla,

Haiz, My CL rock abit and my sis shot her, say she rock then next time we'll hav trouble making her sleep, so now she pat. Then my PILs rock. Haiz, den my stupid hubby also rock cos he said it seem to work n make bb guai guai sleep. Sigh, Next time I die liao...

Ellysia,

I'm staying at my parents place but I have confinement lady to help out. Then my mum everyday nag and nag. Sometimes she used those "suan" words on me until I very pissed and quarrel with her.

I angry loh, cos everytime relative's bb can have bb shower and they confirm at least send 1 representative from my household to the bb shower if we really busy, but come own grand daughter, she worried to trouble them. Wat nonsense is that rite? Even my hubby abit pissed off. I told him next time my family side any function, we dun go. Cos since my mum said troublesome to attend mah, yaloh, same goes, troublesome for me to attend theirs also. My hubby also agreed. He knows I very sad over this and he tells me juz enjoy it with our friends loh. But I still "Bu Gan Yuan" loh. They acted like my child means nothing to them one loh.

I think every bb is fussy bah. Mine also crying non stop one. Sigh... But I dun care, every of my friends also expecting my bb shower, so I'll do. My parents I angry loh. Now I even feel like telling them since they dun feel proud abt my bb, I also very disappointed in them. Even last time they can have bb shower for me and they nv found it troublesome, now my bb's turn they start to think for others rather than me...

U got someone to take over ur bb? My PILs kept wanna see bb, say ask me to seek their help if I cannot cope. I dunno. Call me stubborn or wat, of all ppl, I dun wan to use their help. Cos I don't want one day my MIL come n boast to me again and say she can handle 2 kids while I cannot even handle my bb. Plus I dun trust them also. Haiz. Now I damn sian loh. I thinking of getting a sling, den bring bb out shopping with me...
 
Shinely,

No we ordering from sweetestmoments. www.sweetestmoments.com.sg much better than bengawan solo.

Kelcqi,

since yr MIL n u can't get along, i tink better u dun let them take care in case more conflicts in future.

me shd be giving my MIL take care though i am not v willing but my mum place not convenient to take care. if my mum take care she has to come over and inconvenient long term.

me also have sling but if bring bb out on sling then how to buy clothes? cos hard to change in changing room. my mum said if i want to shop i better make sure i have my hb along or bring my mum along so she can help me carry bb.
 
Hi ladies,
need to check with u all, I'm breastfeeding my baby and he hasn't poo-ed for 2 days! prev he used to poo about twice a day, yellow soft stools. otherwise he seems quite comfortable, should i take him to see a PD?

also,
how do I thaw frozen breast milk and how long can it keep after that?

thanks!
 
Huggy,Felicia & Bizznow
Today went for my checkup. Doc nvr check my cervix. Doc said will check my cervix on 26 June and will induce on tat day if baby not out by then.
Me also very stress. Hopefully baby can choose his own birthdate, come out early.
 
roooller,
Mt Alvernia this time round gave me spray type for episiotomy, its easy to use, compared to the spirit given 8yrs ago when i had my #1

juliet08,
I also not sure , maybe all meals got ginger, and the longan red dates drink i drank throughout the day, cause the jaundice

Ellysia,
Its my 5th day after gave birth and wound not pain anymore,even without pain killer, so I am thinking if I need to use the wound wash & the spray for episiotomy everytime after urine
 
Fennie,

I tink the wound wash is to help disinfect germs cos urine may infect the wound. so better wash despite not pain.
 
My bb now develop a funnie cycle. He stay active n awake from 7am to 6pm, then sleep from 6pm to 11pm without any feed...
really dunno why my bb must torture himself so much. dun want to sleep then make himself too tired.
 
Ellysia, yes she got a big shock, keep asking the anatheist how many dose of epidural he gave, coz they donno is due to infection or side effect of epi. I was on the oxygen for 4 hours after the op.
 
<font color="aa00aa">Huggy, if i remember correctly, you're under Dr Ang oso, rite? Did he mentioned about induce to you? Urs is 1st pregnancy, rite?

Lee May, seems like 3 of us (plus Bizz) whom had same EDD had the same fate. Our babies really too comfy inside liao. But does ur gynae said ur baby had engaged oredy? Me for, i'll see my gynae on 25 June, if still not sign, will either induce on tat day or the next day.</font>
 
hi..

How is everyone? I very long havent log in liao.. havent been surfing net since CL left.. not so much time and luxury :p Baby seems to be drinking less now that CL has left (coz me and my mum abit lazy to make him finish all his feed) but luckily he has put on 1.3kg since birth and now weighs 4.3kg...

Congrats to all who popped!!

Re 1st month cakes, for colleagues we ordered from Choz, everyone says it's super nice.. for relatives we ordered fruit tarts from melrose place.. so far no complains... for full month catering, we had yls catering, food so so but curry chicken is very nice, anyway $6 per head only, wat can we expect :p

Btw, for 1st month jab, can bring bb to polyclinic, $15 + $5 for consultation only, compared to PD who charges $80!!

I have 1 bottle of baby cord powder (asked by PD from Singapore baby and child clinic to use on baby) It's meant to sprinkle on baby's cord untill it falls out, antibotic purposes or something.. does anyone wants? Giving it away so as not to waste it..
 
Roxy,

u still rem me? we have met fr another thread--matters of heart...

congrats to ur newborn, me give birth 2 month ago, very happy to c many of us graduated from "that Thread"..I believe God hear our prayers, Praise the Lord!!
 
Congratulations to Leng Leng!!!

Felicia, Lee May, Bizznow,
Yalor, my BB so big hor, but I still want to try for natural.

But Dr. Ang never say anything much, just "come again next week, see what we shd do about it"
Maybe because I didn't ask anything, because very sianz still not open yet, and I also know what he means lor.
 
<font color="aa00aa">ellysia, this might be my 2nd pregnancy but as my #1 is via c-sec due to low placenta, my body nvr encounter any so-called 'real labour' process (ex. contractions etc), so my gynae said this shld consider as 1st pregnancy lor. Tats why me oso confused me shld engage early or not. But now just left few more days to go.

Huggy, maybe coz i had c-sec before tats why Dr Ang dont want me to drag after EDD, tats why he mention induce to me.For your case, maybe he'll evaluate again on ur next check up.</font>
 
Dear mummies,

I have 1 small tin of opened mamex gold for infant age 0-12mo. Used half. Willing to give it for free to those who needs because it will be a waste if it goes bad and you can't keep FM for too long. Come to my hse for pick up only. I live in Woodlands, near Marsiling MRT.

sms me if you are interested at 91271942
 
juliet,
My gal also experience e same noise u mention. Pd say its normal. If worry bring jake to pd check.

Shinely,
When have #1 we invited 60-70guests for buffet includes friends n relatives. Cakes n vouchors give colleagues. This round #2 we reducing to mainly friends n family only. 25-30pax n we using thomson catering bit more expensive since we intend close shop too. Cakes same using melrose given to colleagues n few relatives that given bb red packet n didnt come buffet lo. So roughly stil e same min need to spend $700! Best u discuss wit hubby. This round we want simple n less hectic so less people invited. Mayb you can do within friends n family n v close relatives? Don stress yourself over this ok.

Roxy,
Don worry if your bb sudden certain timing drink bit less. Some how they are not those running around and have spare inside them. Like now my gal she drink 2.5oz during e day, sometime 3hr feed sometime 2hr plus. Night time feed 3oz, 3hrly. Sometime she sleep 4hr b4 next feed! So don worry okie

Cynthia, u feed ur bb only when she cry for milk? for mine, I will feed her every 2hr n if she sleeping I will wake her up. is it better to feed when she cry? I notice that she's getting fatter. finding ways to let her drink lesser.
 
sharon,
i was told by my mum n sis in law tat.. we dun nd to wake those haven full mth bbs to drink milk.. cos their slp is more impt than drinking milk.. so if they slp jus let them be.. dun purposely wake them up..
 
Ellysia, I had 3.5 bottles, coz emergency c-sec need higher dosage. The epidural was so strong that it block till my chest area, got diffiulty breathing.

Christina, wah seh, so "qiao", maybe we just next door neighbour, hehe.
 
Congrats to all the mummies who've popped.

Doing confinement is so tired, I almost everyday only sleep 3 to 4 hours, super tired. My chances online will be lesser.

hi babycupid
Me just started bb on FM also.. supplement his nite feeds with FM and day time EBM... not sure which brand is good but Im letting him drink similac now...
 
Hw much FM/BM shd a 18 day old bb drink? My gal is drinking abt 90ml liao and abt 3hrs apart. Is it normal?

She also farts alot and very very smelly, think cos of the food I take (mostly fish and meat)... is it normal too?

Have any of you started using pacifier to keep bb quiet? I started using since she's a week old as she'll cry for no reason... Haizzz
 
Felicia, Huggy &amp; Bizznow,
I thought tat my #2 will come out early coz my #1 was natural with epi &amp; forcep but seems like nothing happen.
KKH doctor nvr mention to me tat baby already engage or not. She only mentioned tat she will check my cervix on 26 June to c whether dilate or not and I requested to induce on tat day coz I scare baby too big (more than 3kg liao).
I heard tat induce very pain, so scare.
 
jessica,
my bb is 14 days old.. he drinking 90ml to 100ml if he slp for 3 or 4hrs.. at times he slp for an hr or 2 hrs.. den he will drink only 60ml..
my bb oso fart alot.. i did use pacifier too.. but he doesnt really like.. only sometimes he willing to suck on it.. but he will spit out n cried super loudly when he realised no milk out frm the pacifier.. kekeke..
 
Hi Huggy, am oso seeing Dr Ang..hv delivered on 7 June...for wat i know Doc Ang is beri afraid of big bbs...like mine..at 37wks bb is 3.6kg..he already scratchin his head..tinkg how 2 deliver me...:p kept sayin aiyoh so big..
he said big bb's hv certain risk when doin natural birth...he oso tell me see how next wk...but luckily i hv contraction at38wks and true enuf bb was 3.84kg at birth...i almost opted for c sect due to the risks mentioned...thank god..i delivered naturally without any painkiller...while stitchg me he chatted and told me next time is bb is 3.5kg better take it out fast..heheheh....anyway..Trust Dr Ang..he did a great job in gettin my bb out....

Wah, your BB is really big! Think if you delivered in week 40, BB can be as big as 4kg
happy.gif

So lucky you have contraction on week 38 and delivered naturally too, so envy you

Hi ladies,

Finally get a chance to update my birth story:

14-June:
Went gynae checkup in the morning. Doc advise to admit to Mt A that nite at 11pm n will insert pill to start dilation. as my amniotic fluid level is on the lower side.

11pm: Admit to Mt A. Clear poo and nurse inserted 1 pill. Tried to sleep...

Next morning 10+ am: Nurse checked that 1cm dilated.

15-June:
11am: Gynae came and said can start to induce me now that I'm dilated. Burst my waterbag and put me on induce drip. The contraction pain came and it felt like menstrual cramps. 1st one hr not so bad... Try to tahan by breathing technique until 2pm. Cannot take it liao, use laughing gas. but after few sniffs, feel very "gong"... like almost gone like tat. wanna sleep. So decided wanted to go for epi liao.

2.30pm: Nurse checked...4cm dilated. And I confirm want epi.

3pm: The anathesist for epi came and I was already 5-6cm dilated.

After epi, midwives said tat my bb's heart dropped each time I have contractions. Hubby and I were super worried. They called Gynae and he was in TMC delivering another bb. They stopped my induce drip (not to stress bb), put a cathetre to drain my urine and use oxygen mask to see if can reduce bb distress.

4pm: Told nurse I got urge to push. She checked and say I'm almost 10cm dilated.

4.10pm: Gynae finally arrived n all get ready for the final stage. Main focus is to get bb out in the shortest possible time as he's in distress so I didn't get to push much.

Gynae wanted to vacuum bb out but not successful. But he used forceps.

4.22pm: BB is out and his loud wailing brought a sense of relief to hb and me!!! Thank God that everything is OK. =)

But the episiotomy quite deep due to forceps... I'm using a spray given by hospital called Curacao.

BB is admitted to Mt A today due to his jaundice level. Me expressing BM out to bring tml...

Phew! It is really not easy to handle a baby. Quite depressed initially after coming home. Cos bb always need to drink milk... then I keep thinking why my BM not enough. Have to supplement with FM.

But I tried the cabbage method today and it works! Will help to soothe engorgement and clear the blocked ducts! Managed to pump out 40ml after using that instead of the miserable 20ml each time. So u can try that if u have engorgement. =)
