(2008/12) December 2008 MTBs

Adel:
thanks for the encouragement! i will see what my gynae say on Wed before deciding. if he is not opposing natural, then of cos i will go for natural 1st =)

Mimi:
yup, i agree. having so many years of experience, i believe Dr Chen knw wat is best for me. in any case, i will follow his best recommendation. if his "verdict" is dat i sud go for C-sect straight, i will proceed ba. spoke to my frens on the phone juz now, and i feel alot better now =)

Bubblepearl:
u feeling ok now? any contractions? thou it may still be a while to labour, u better monitor from now on yo.. if discomfort tml, juz sms me or Phyl and stay at hm, juz in case =)

Pris:
i guess it sud be pump after Preston finishes his feeding. if u pump before feeding Preston, wat if not enuff BM, then u trouble mah, need to feed him formula milk. anyway, i read from a BF book dat to stimulate more milk, mummies can pump BM AFTER feeding BBs ;)
 


Hi Dee,
Greetings! Thx for the encouragement. Glad to hear u are with RH too.

M trying to tahan till next week too...keeping fingers cross. Seeing gynae tomorrow so hopefully, baby still in tact till next friday...if possible.

When are u seeing your gynae? Also, m signing up with Cordlife tomorrow. Just don't know whether to sign up for 10 yrs or 21 years since can pay the money via CAD. Let me know your thots if any.

Shall keep u inform of my trip to gynae.

Enjoy your evening.
 
Thanks for all the well wishes!

Congrats to all other mummies who have popped!

Merydith - your baby is so cute.

LuthAdel & Fabbie - How long did the both of you pump each time for BM? This is my 6th day and I only managed to get pathetic 10ml for 2 breasts after 30 t0 45 mins till I give up. So envy that e both of u managed to get so much BM....
 
Pris
u TBF so good. ya nipple no sore? if u want to pump. u feed preston first then later u pump lor. pump as much as u can.

BTW i haven't do my baby bonus yet! damn it. after i check up my baby me and my hubbie just totally forget to do baby bonus at TMC. btw other than TMC where can we do it ah? OCBC Bank can?
 
Fabbie & Carmen: Thanks...i tried it just now. I fed Preston from my left then, i pumped out the remaining + my right breast too. Nipple not sore...so hopefully it won't become sore as the days go by!!! :p

I got a total of about 30ml BM after about 20 min of pumping. Not sure if this amount is "good" enough or not.


Fabbie: I also haven't done CDA account...haven't registered the birth of Preston yet too! Will do it tomorrow when i bring him for his PD checkup.

We finally picked his Chinese name...


Jolynash: I got 30ml BM this evening after pumping for about 20 min. Today is my 5th day...and before that, i have not pumped at all. Only direct latched my baby boy since Day 1.
 
Jolynash,
Thanks! Yours too! very chubby

emeraldbride,
My baby name is Randall..I still have not registered his birth though keke.

fabbie,
Yah lor..and all the nurses address him as her. All of them thought it is a girl alamak... Hope he will look more boyish in the next few days or months keke.
 
Btw anyone know how to get baby to wake up to suckle?
He always doze off during suckle even though I tickle his ear, mouth. End up my breast always kena almost engorged...So sian..I pump it all out but dun want to let him drink from bottle in case he get nipple confusion leh...

Then the PD told me that he was dehydrated from lack of fluid causing his jaundice..but he always doze off during suckle...
 
hi gals .. I'm back home .. got discharged today after lunch ..

fabbie, ya the person came to my room the SCCB lady .. and passed me the "thank u" card personally and told me the news .. said although the amt of blood collected was good, the cell count was a bit low ..

so not collected lor.

too bad.

will upload Calista's photo asap !!
 
Loveangel - thats very good for you. You still mangage to get 30ml after feeding Preston. Think mine is hopeless already....

Fabbie - Did you drink many soups? Heard my mil says drinking lots of soup helps to increase BM.
 
merydith
lol he will de lar. lolx mine also look like boy at the starting hehe.. about the sucking.. maybe wait till he very very hungry than he wont doze off ba? Mine always doze when sleep at the start. but now i duno. Hmm cus i hardly give nipple since that day i bleed. But sometimes i still let her latch on, she still remember. I felt pumping out and give him at times on bottle is better leh. so you know how much baby needs everyday. hehe. Pump can pump like 2 hrs total 2 breast. if suck duno how many hrs then can = the amount that u pump out. Randall special name! i like! hehe

jolynash
Hey i just finish pumping.. ok. today
5.20am - 7.15am = 200ml
2.19pm - 3.19pm = 200ml
8.15pm - 9.45pm = 200ml
So sad.. seems like still not increasing. hope tmw will increase! this is my first time to note down. normally i just to pump as much as i can. if no more milk then massage n massage. then got milk come out again. Ya i everyday drink soup.. drink milo.. drink longan.. eat apple everyday.. eat vegetable everyday too.

Sam
Oh. aiya. im thinking can i know why my cord it no suit them. sighz. i just scare something to do with my blood that will affect my baby?! hmm maybe im just too worried.. your baby so cute! especially the hair! like just came out from a shower. hehe

Hi Carmen,

Me same case as u but my bb got big head instead of weight. Till now, he is not engaged. Dr is going to induce me on 6 dec to try natural. If cannot engage, then will proceed to do c-sect.
If you really want to try natural I guess should go for it since 1st baby. At least we tried
happy.gif
 
thanks gals ...
happy.gif
hee hee ...

fabbie, just call and ask if you want to know .. but if it's something harmful, they'll tell you la ...

actually, how you know they didn't successfully collect yours? I'm just assuming as such ... if they didn't tell you personally, probably it was a successful collection !
 
Juzyounme

I know wat u mean by 'crawling' to the office. I took ML from 15th at first too...due to much 'nagging' from my dad and HB. I have to take my ML on the 9th instead. I can't wait to pop actually... went for the check up on Sat and Dr says the baby not engaged yet. hopefully will be engaged by next week...
 
kath i store in below only.. cus freezer if u defroze it hor.. will got alot of water leh.. BM can keep for 2 days..

orh maybe later fan put another side or wat ba..

btw you all massage lady taking 7 days or 14 days?
 
Snowger

Oh...really!!! Good to hear that... always thought that engagement means that i will be in labour soon. Thanks for the info. =)
 
Sam

Annt21,
Old pple got a saying that if ur legs get swollen during late pregnancy n it does not go away, it is an indication of soon-to-come labor.

Actually dilation n engagement are only indications that ur bb is getting ready. I rem reading smwhere that labour is triggered by a chemical ur baby releases. So hor, physcho ur bb maybe a btr method... :p

Fabbie,
Ur milk ss is considered quite good leh! Keep it up orh! What did u do daily that gives u this type of milk ss? massage? drink a lot of soup? Share ur foodie/diet with us leh... :p
 
Paulyn,
Hospital will let u use what is sponsored to them. Remaining will give u to take home.

Congrats to all mums that have delivered to their darlings.

Sorry, was MIA as I was on course for the last 2 weeks.

fabbie,

you can onli apply for BB bonus after you register your BB birth. BB bonus form need BB birth cert no. If you have already registered your child's birth, they will give you a BB bonus package. You need to fill on the forms, BB1 and BB2. Then together with the supporting documents, you just send it to MCYS can liao.

But if you have not registered your child's birth, you need to go your hospital or ICA to register first. You can get ready your supporting document. The birth registry officer will help you fill up your BB bonus forms then. You cant go OCBC bank to apply for BB bonus. That is for our child's CDA account only.

After you got your BB bonus cash payout, shortly you will receive a letter from MCYS. You need to use this letter to go OCBC to officially open a CDA account for your child. By then, you can start deposit $ to get the dollar-for-dollar matchup from the govt.

Hope this helps.
 
jo, if she have kids liao, how come so not understanding ah?? Siao one.. dun expect that last time she can work till 40weeks all preggy can do that..super sian when i see ur supervisor treat u tat way.

Even my boss which i feel is very mean dun do that to us, at least everytime i walk abit faster he will ask me to slow down..dun walk so fast..haha
