Hello Mummies, i had hard time ever since yesterday. Was quite upset as i did not have any BM during the 1st few days. Last night bryan was crying so much, we had no chboice but to give formula. I felt very upset and depressed and wat make things worse is my engorment!! Its so painful that i barely can slp! Now i can only express 30ml each time! Sigh~ Really hope more milk flow will come!

<font color="ff6000">hi mummies,
just popped by to say thanks for all the well wishes and encouragement! here's my birth story:
contractions regular at 10min intervals on Mon 11pm.
TUES 1am: admitted to Mt A. after CTG and dilation check (2cm)
Told to sleep to wait for contractions to intensify.
WED 7am: dilation still 2cm+ only.
8:45am: gynae came and broke water bag to speed things up.
11am: only dilated 3cm! put on cytocin drip
contractions started intensifying
2:45pm: dilation check - still only 3cm! piangz.
3:15pm: agreed to epidural. cytocin drip dosage increased, contractions increased in pain but din feel anything cos epi is POWER.
8pm: dilated to 8cm.
9:30pm: started pushing.
9:52pm: baby Kate arrives to the outside world!!
Sorry very exhausted after that so haven't uploaded photos at all.
Yesterday night very discouraged cos kate no urine since discharged at noon yesterday. even though I had latched her on and she had sucked very well 8 times yesterday by midnight! at least 10-15mins on each side every time! But only got colustrum so i also admit no real liquid flowing into her body. CL said her lips very dry, and no good to get dehydrated. after consulting with PD, he said okay to supplement with one formula feed.
so last night (everafter, like you) we started formula feed. she cried less, rooted less (even though i started latching her on demand everytime she rooted) and slept peacefully. best part she managed to poo a lot.
i really really wanted to TBF but couldn't bear seeing her suffer and worried abt complications if she got dehydrated. sigh. guess i'm on the track to having a combination until my milk supply comes in. It's only been less than 60 hrs since she was born (so less than 2.5 days) but theoractically she's 4 days old? so hopefully my milk supply comes in soon. will go and search for that power pump schedule and pump away.
won't be able to come to this thread, but can email me at [email protected] so i don't miss anything u guys have to say to me. will miss you all, but have to focus on kate now.... finally know what maternal love means!
take care everyone and let's press on!</font>

bbgoh, mousebb
For me, i pump every 3-3.5hrs. At 1st is 2hrs but getting tired. Each side pump for 15mins. Now i dun look at timing, just pump till "dry". Haha guess about 15-10mins.
Breast will feel sudden engorge, and will leak and i know i have to pump but many times, i drag for another 15mins then pump.
Like last night, i missed the pump at 2am, and woke up 5.30am to pump. I got 180ml. Think should put an alarm clock to wake me up. Do u gals do that?

Congrats LilBluey, bbgoh, everafter and all the mommies who have popped!
Been so busy since bb was born- pumping, bf-ing etc.
Everafter - are you discharged already or still in hosp? If the latter, get the nurse to remove all the clog ducts for u. If at home, press your breasts VVV Hard towards your nipples till you see milk droplets. This will help ease the clogging and you can pump all yr milk out. Don't leave them engorged cos you can get fever, and end up with mastitis.
lili - I will always be auto-woken up to pump 3-4hrly cos my breasts will be soo full and hard that I feel uncomfortable zz. If whole nite dun pump (12am-6am), I will get big heavy rockbuns and yield 180-200ml milk.

I guess bcos Dr Adrian has too many patients giving birth in Oct and that's why he has problems remembering all his patients' details. Hahaha!!!

There's always pork & fish. But so boring, right? Eating these for the next 12 days. Guess I have to pay attention about the food too.
JJmom
How much cannot eat eggs when bfeeding ah? I am already thinking of avoiding preserved foods like bacon & ham which I have been eating quite often for my brekkie.

I read through the comments on Dr Paul Tseng here. From what I gathered, yes, he's pro-natural but I also read a mother who had a C-section because her bb is breech. So I think he still doesn't really do natural birthing for breech babies.
