i think you might need to ask for those rubber rings used by piles or haemorroids sufferers.

milk supply come in 3-5 days. i got colostrum few hours after surgery, but not enough for my gal, so she kept screaming and crying for first and 2nd day. very heart pain to hear her cry of hunger. but didn't want to give her formula, so took turns with my hub to carry her and walk around.

Good morning mummies!
Purebliss, glad tt you can go home! Have a good rest!
Coconut: I have been drinking once a week since week 33. But last week I drank, I started to feel some contraction almost immediately after drinking. Wonder if it is due to coconut or what. Just in case, I don't intend to drink for this week (36 weeks). Next week will start drinking since I'm 37 weeks and baby will not be pre-mature even she comes out.

mummies instead of using cordyceps during ur confinemnt. try using "pao sheng".
it can help to "bu qi" & "bu jing sheng". more infor check out with those chinese medical hall. i had alot of pao sheng during my 1st confinment.
uses pao sheng to double boil with chicken, red dates & wolf berries. we can have the soup with hubby too. is good.
even my girl is taking pao sheng with her milk.
another way is to ask the medical hall to make the pao sheng into powder form. then put 1/2 teaspoon on luke warm water & mix. then drink. oso very good.

morning mummies
pildough, children always speak the truth, unfortunately
i think for natural birth, you can be discharged 1 or 2 days after delivery, c-section 5 days, but sometimes got to stay longer cuz of jaundice.
usually you have to tell nurse if you want full breastfeeding or formula or both. if you insist on full breastfeed, i suggest do not give any formula at all to start no matter how much they cry.
usually breastmik will come in, you hv to latch on baby as much as possible whether got milk or no, cuz the baby's sucking will stimulate milk production and amount of milk. and it's okay that baby loses a bit of weight after they are born, they got enough reserve in the body for the first few days. colostrum is sufficient.
baby will be confuse with nipples and teats. they will tend to prefer to suck from teats cuz milk flow faster and more steadily unlike breasts. babies are born intelligent, most want easy way. Alot of mummies found once they start babies on bottles, they refuse to go on breasts. and once they do that, milk supply decreases, that's why some mummies complain not enough breastmilk. remember to drink alot alot alot of water before and after delivery, if you want more milk.

oh Carole and lili,
thanks for the update. now i'ld have a better idea on what to pack. i only bought one packet of maternity pack then i bought another packet of kotex soft cottony pads for night. Also, both parents' ic or passport must bring right?
The antenatal receipts, do i bring some to amount to $400 ish or do i bring all?

Marriage cert is for the purpose of the child birth cert registration.
For those who want to submit your bb bonus application at the TMC counter, must remember to bring along your bank passbook.</font>
