hehe...then you must hint to your hubby that the Baby G is not the "push" present. He need to prepare another one.
What color did you get for the Baby G?

yes yes, for dr chan's patients, dun need the antiseptic wash. juz water will do
his stitching skills really very good. same day wont feel pain also...
i juz went for my checkup today. Dr Chan very proudly told me that no one can tell i gave birth to 2 babies before as the wound has no scars! hahaha...he said his stitching is different from 90% of other gynaes... and he said whether wound heals fast, cut is nice or etc, depends on what kind of "tailor"! damn funny...
and yes, he has his own delivery ward... room 8.. i gave birth there...outside got his big name even when the midwife brought me in. But i think other regular gynaes in gleneagles also have their own. but he is damn expensive...i juz complained to his staff why last year and this year increase so much again...hiaz!
joyce,
yes yes, our gynae's stitching is different, so no pain and heal very fast...also juz water wash can liao... that's why i went back to him for my 2nd child.
bear,
hang in there... ur baby shd be out in these few days

Are u gals talking about Dr Chan Kong Hon?
Yes yes, agree his stitching is v good. I had him for my #1, C-section. I recovered v fast, and now, after 6 yrs, the scar is hardly visible, unless u look so closely.. But hey, come on, it's also hidded by pubic hair lah.. Heheheh..
Indeed, his pricing is so high! I changed gynae becos I wanted to try VBAC v badly, and also his fees plus waiting time, hubby and I cannot take it. His PR skills also #1 leh, can yak with anyone.
"Push" present:
Hehe.. I did ask for either a LV bag, or a diamond ring. He says wait and see how much bonus he has first. ^_^ My Casio Baby-G is just an "appetiser", I hope! Hahahah.

Haru,
I had a C-section while a patient of Dr Chan. No, for C-section cut, I dun think it's long. I measured before, it's exactly 12cm.
For my #2, I swithced gynae to Dr Paul Tseng whom I adore as well, hahahah.. I didnt have any episiotomy under Paul Tseng as I didnt even have any cut nor tear!

Mummies who went for c-sect..
Can advise.. Epi csect or GA csect is better or faster recovery?? I still contemplating between the 2 and need to confirm with gynae tomorrow wor...
I thinking of epi csect so can see bb immediately but I scared I be scared or HB be scared.
How's the recovery between the 2? I know GA csect for my #1, when I wake up.. I keep crying coz very painful lo.. or maybe my threshold of pain is low..

Yeah, I think I am very blessed. That's why I say, small babies have got its good points too. My baby was small at 2.46kg, so very easy to come out. But I guess it's also becos she was in the right position etc too.

Brocoli,
Hope that your engorgement can recover soon! Try to latch on or pump often to avoid engorgement again.. Wow, u so fast go shower n wash hair liao!! Think u are the fastest mummy who go for shower n wash hair while still in the hospital.
cc,
breastmilk work this way. Demand=supply. So the more time u latch baby on or pump, the more milk will comes in.. Actually there is this fernugreek that sold at GNC, is said to build up breastmilk.. But i think u still stick to the demand=supply is better lar.
bear,
just let little bear decide when he wanna come out.. Just let natural take its course k... Dun too stress on this.

hello mummies, congrats to all who popped.
Also thanks for the well wishes.
My labour is super long and i regretted to go for induction which ended up in c-sect. my gynae also never check where my boy is facing and he turn the wrong way which make my labour even tougher.
i should have waited. Anyway, kayden is healthy, that's all that matters. But somehow unable to go natural still upset me alot.
I'm now trying very hard to bf my bb but he refuses to latch on. I'm now at my wits end. Tomorrow going to look for lactation consultant at tmc, hopefully can retrain him to latch on to my breasts. Currently trying hard to express out my bm. now, only able to express out 20ml per pump both breast combined with massage only and bb is so hungry and keep crying. I had no choice but to supplement with fm as kayden needs 40-50ml per feed. Anyone had any advise on how to increase bm. Currently pumping abt 5-6 times a day. I'm also taking papaya fish soup, fish essence, milo with oatmeal. Now trying fenugreek. took 2 caps. how many fenugreek can i take per day, anyone knows?
My fingers joint are also aching.. wound still pain cause i'm allergic to certain painkillers. Can only take panadol to relieve my csect wound pain. Really a struggle. So tired too. The first day back home, i really dislike kayden and refuse to look at him and push him away when he refuses my breast. Now better le as i tell myself to express the milk out instead of stressing myself too much. My mom is not supportive as well. Nearly got myself into postnatal blues. Sorry everyone, need a place to vent my frustrations here.
Anyway, here's a pic of my bb kayden

Dreamyjo, hey gal, cheer up! remember how much u wanted to see ur boy? not going natural doesn't mean u are a lousy mummy.. please rem that wat's most impt is your and ur baby's safety.. if c-sec is neccessary, don't berate urself!
Ur mum not supportive of bf-ing? oh dear u gotta stand firm. Tell ur mum u want the best for him, just like she wanted the best for u. I think u need to pump more often leh... bb needs to latch on abt 10-12x a day but u only doing half.. even if u don't express a lot of milk, by increasing the frequency, u are telling ur boobs to produce more. try pumping more often...

hiya dreamjo,
dun stress yourself too much. for first time mum is always like tat when things just doesnt to b turning out the way u planned. I think u got upset in the beginning when ur natural plan turn out to b c-sect, but the key point is to deliver bb safely into this world tat matters most.
Bb has problem latching due to? do you have short nipples? or is bb having nipples confusion as u already feed the bottle? u can try using nipple guards to latch bb. latching on will produce more milk. if u are pumping then massage your breast, a hot shower or use a hot towel over your breast will also help. try pumping regularly at every 2 to 3 hrs interval. dun give up, all of us is here to support u.
kayden is such a cute boY! dun dislike him, cos he loves u so much and needed u so much.
if latching your boy is painful try the football hold which is better for mummies tat c-sect.

hi dreamjo
thanks for sharing Kayden's pic. He is really very cute! Don't think too much abt the c-sect. what is more impt is baby and mummy is healthy. and after this 9 months, finally our labour of love is out in this world.
I can see that you have been persevering to get the BM. Maybe you just need a little bit more time to get the flow to come. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder. Things will get better and be positive. Cheer up k. Take one thing at a time. Remember, you need a good rest too for the BM to come.

Hi mummies!
Finally have time to come in today!
Haru: That's nice of you to get hb a present!!
My hubby's bday coming, but coz still confined at home, thinking of ordering The Patissier cake for him. Nvr tried before but heard rave reviews abt it Anyone tried it??
Brocoli: Hope your engorgement goes away soon! Latch on more if poss? I find that most effective for me.
cc: I am only pumping once a day. Usu only 80-120 ml. Quite lazy..prefer to latch on frequently for now. Will pump more during my 3rd wk so that I can start storing EBM and try to bottlefeed once a day.
Dreamjo: That's a lovely pix of Kayden!
Don't get too stressed ok. Was abit blue initially when baby sometimes cldnt latch on but was lucky he managed to after a while though now he would still fuss and cry at times. But must tell myself not to get upset! My 1st few tries at expressing also abt 20-30ml but will slowly increase. Jia You ok! I always think of baby during expressing and I find it helps to certain extent.
Post-natal massage by Mona: 2nd time today. Can't see effects yet but tho she is soo petite, she has great strength, 'massage' my aches away haa..
Who's next to pop?? I am losing count!

dreamy: i pump about 300ml or so a day, i am also looking to increase milk flow to supplement baby. Extremely tiring as I do it every 2-3 hrs pumping out...my baby latches on me but i worry she is not taking enuff as i cant see the amt. she consumes..so i prefer pumping.
The fish i take is dialect called 'ngor her' which will increase milk flow...but i wish i had more milk than this..

Actually BM will only establise after 1 mth leh..dont be over stress by yrself.

I also pump 20ml per 3hr, and my big baby need to supplement another 40ml of fm. The lactation consultant keeps asking us to just supplement him with glucose but he cries till the nurse also bo bian, come and ask me to allow fm. Since yesterday, Jaydon also dun like to latch, so my husband went home to get the pump and i juz pump whatever i can. My folks are also not supportive of bf, but i juz ignore their nagging bc i noe stress will be detrimental to my milk level. Btw my eyes swell up as i was allegic to the painkiller given, then had to ask for a jap to reduce the swelling. Dun give up or feel sad, let's encourage one another in breastfeeding.
Joyce
I showered bc i was lying on the bed so much bc of the pain of the stitches that my butt got rashes and my back itch like mad. Then the blood flow also quite heavy so for my mood's sake i decided to shower.
Vincy
Thanks for the assurance, juz need to tong one week then can latch bb without feeling the pain liao.
Actually the pain from the womb contraction was quite bad bc very near the stitches so i haven't been sleeping well at nite. Took extra painkiller at nite. Motherhood is really special, after gg through so much i am juz so kum tong when i see jaydon.

Enne> i was on c-section GA. i went into the op at 9am, was woken up by nurse at 9.45am. then i was very awake the whole day. A lot of people told me that GA will make you very drowsy and stuff. But after going thru, i feel that it's really ok. After the op, i feel a bit "sng sng" in my tummy area, pain is not much at all. My threshold of pain is very very low. Even when i pierce my ears, i also cry!
I think Dr Adrian will advise you accordingly.
My fren who gave birth on sat, went thru a lot. i think if i were to deliver after her. i would be very scared by now. She went to induce delivery at 8am. put on epi at 12noon, then gynae suggested c-section at 4pm. By then, my fren already had lunch at 2pm, plus op theatre was booked till 9pm, so she had to endure till 9pm. the scary part is, since she already on epi, doc went on to start the op. My fren screamed when the Doc start to cut, she can feel the knife blade cutting on her. The anesthetist was on standy by, quickly knocked her out with GA. Then when my fren finally woke up, she was too drowsy and stuff from the effects of epi and GA combined. she couldnt carry the bb or eat.
Dreamyjo> dun be too stress over the ss of BM. when u are too stressed or feeling low, ss will decreased. try to fight the hormonal change that u are going thru now. i also get about 20ml EBM initially and now i'm getting about 300ml everyday now. I think if i can try to express every 4 hour, i can get more. i'm quite lazy, i dun wake up at night to express. heheheh.
I think Dr Adrian will advise you accordingly.

Amooks> What i went through was similar to ur friend, i already had epi and gas before, except that my gynea predicted i will struggle if csect under epi. That is why i went under GA. When i wake up, i couln't even remember i'm there to deliver bb and i couldn't feed my bb. But i'm juz thankful that bb is well.

hello everyone, me back at home. went to do CTG in Mt A just nw, dilate 1 cm only so nurse send me home. Baby is alright also. bt having show again and mild contraction after i got back home. now monitioring the contraction. didnt last more then five mins.. so i guess i will have to wait again. Tomorrow will go see gynae to get some advise from her. She still prefer i go natural so she send me home after realising that i didnt dilate enough. so i guess we wait again...

Congrats to mummies who had popped. Had been bz with my boi.
Kash,
Yes. I'm using Desitin bought from the US spree. Now, his bottom is much better. I've also applied johnson baby powder to keep the area dry. Luckily, is not so red now and the little dots have vanished. I'm using Huggies Ultra Dry (NB). Brought him to see PD and was advised to open up his diaper and let him lie on his chest.
Drypers will caused bottom to be red also, gosh, I've 2 pkts of S size from my frenz.
