Congrats Tiara!

Fabbie, u lost 9kg, that's gd leh. Me so far lost 7kg only. My wt gain is 14 kg!

Xiao Pooh, my bb's hair is washed everydy leh.

loveangel · Dec 8, 2008

2nd baby: I shower daily with the herbs...as for hair, i wash twice a week so far, tue & sat are "reserved" for hair-washing. Haha...

I'm now 50kg...have lost 6 kg of my pregnancy weight. I put on 9kg for the pregnancy. Another 3kg to lose to get back my pre-preg weight. I measured my waist...wah, it's 30 inches! I feel so fat!!!

Emeraldbride: Glad that your colostrum has kicked in. Don't give yourself stress...your body will somehow produce enough BM to feed your baby.

Fabbie: Your stitches still there anot? Sitting on a float will help. Use the antiseptic that your doc gave...it'll help a lot. My "there" doesn't hurt anymore.

firstbaby · Dec 8, 2008

Pris, I also showered daily with the herbs. But after shower, I sweat like mad again. Cant wait for confinement to end.

iemik0 · Dec 8, 2008

2nd baby

fabbie · Dec 8, 2008

jowinbaby · Dec 8, 2008

Hi gals
me still in hospital n decide to stay 1 more day bcos baby has jaundice at level 14 n cannot be discharge with me.. so sad.. would not want the trouble of keep coming back to hospital to bf her. might as well stay..Hope the whole family can go home together tomorrow. i stayed in hospital till very sianz already...

Thanks for santorini n kath for coming to visit me a few times. i m too weak to go over to find both of u instead..Still feeling the pain.. sigh.. I have such low pain threshold....

good new too tat my right breast milk started to kick in.. getting engorgement soon n nurse ask me to pump it out. Now waiting for the nurse to help me sterilise my breast pump.. Left breast only with colestrum. no milk yet.. hope milk will kick in too..

llig · Dec 8, 2008

Fabbie,
My stitches site is healing already and i've not taken any painkillers cos i hate taking medicines (can't swallow..strong gag reflex). So far i've only been taking Abscorbic tablets..the little orange ones..did your doc give you those??

jowinbaby · Dec 8, 2008

My birth story:
5:30am - water bag burst.
6.30am - On the way to TMC
6:50am - Checked into delivery room (Immediately inform nuse that I am going for C-sect with epi)
7:20am - I was pushed to operating theatre and put on epi. then my Doc arrived.
8:10am - Ashlynne was born!!

loveangel · Dec 8, 2008

Jowin: I stayed in the hospital for an additional one day too cos Preston had jaundice about 10.4 so he couldn't be discharged.

2nd baby: Ya, i also start sweating like mad after bathing! Cannot wait for the confinement to end too. Today is Day 12 for me...

Now i pump every 3.5 hourly...feel like a cow.

Can i find out for those mommies who are latching directly...
~ Do you wake your baby up to feed or is it upon demand? When baby wakes up on his/her own & start crying then you feed?
~ Do you pump each time after feeding?
~ Do you feed baby from both breasts at each feeding?

hippomummy · Dec 8, 2008

hi all just to update that I've delivered on 6 Dec.

My birth story:
Checked into tmc on fri nite 11pm for induction
Next morning 7am started having contractions. Moved to labour ward and Monitor till 830am. Gynae came and checked baby still v high up and cannot come down. Recommend to go for emer c sect. Baby jaysen out at 850am. Turns out that cord was one round around the neck so cannot come out. Lucky to have gone for c sect.

hippomummy · Dec 8, 2008

Loveangel, so far I only feed on demand only when baby cries cos my baby doesn't want to drink when I do it at a certain timing. And I try to do it on both breasts so won't get one breast too overstimulated and turns out to be bigger than e other

fabbie · Dec 8, 2008

gill
no leh.. he didnt give me any tablets or med.. =( maybe will be going down to visit him again. haiz when i was applying it my below.. i touch my wound.. i realise my butt there is fine.. but coming below is abit painful.. haiz.. really hate those feeling

Jowin

Pris

iemik0 · Dec 8, 2008

Hippo:

firstbaby · Dec 8, 2008

fabbie, pris, I pump every 3-4 hrly meaning 6-8 times a day. Very tiring but no choice got to build up supply.

fabbie · Dec 8, 2008

okai.. my hub called doc normal.. and ask him.. he say normally 2 weeks will be okai.. and ask my hubbie to go and collect painkillers from him tomorrow. ^___^ hope those painkillers really useful to me alot! cus its really those chi chi(sot sot) feeling.. really so arghzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

xiao_pooh · Dec 8, 2008

My MIL said to use boiled water (hot mixed with cold) to shower/wash bb hair for the 1st mth..same for me as I doing confinement..oso use boiled water..no gd to use raw water from shower head..so we play safe..

as for washing hair/showering, we pump 1 drop of J&J foam into water..so that its super mild..then we wash bb hair 1st..carry her back to rm to clean dry..then carry her back to shower, clean her front n back..then quickly wrap her with towel to dry her..

any mummies on full-FM? how many times ur bb poo-poo? is it normal not to poo-poo in a day?

as for the stitching wound, hw u all know if the stitches have dissolved all already? i till nw dare not squat..

pink_dolphin · Dec 8, 2008

Congrats to all Mummies who have popped recently...

Mummies, can I check is it a need to buy a thermometer? Any idea where to get a good and cheap thermometer?

llig · Dec 8, 2008

XiaoPooh,
Your baby on full FM?
Mine used to poo after almost every feed initially now maybe 3 times or so only.

marcar · Dec 8, 2008

Jolynash:
i bought a pigeon thermometer upon my fren's advice. Mine is the pigeon ear type dat costs abt $80 from Robinson. u may wan to shop ard but my fren swore by dat model as it's non-intrusive and very sensitive (easier for us to take fretful or restles BB temperature).

nitestar · Dec 8, 2008

Hi Ladies,

Dunno if I can still join you gals... haven't posted in the longest time... due to serious work commitments..

I gave birth to my boy on 4th Dec...

merydith · Dec 8, 2008

Wow,
so many mummies have popped already.

Congrats all!!!

Jowin,
I also had a tough time in the hospital to recover from the c-sect wound. really envy you could go on epidural then GA. I found GA really bad for the throat coz first day i got sore throat, 2nd n 3rd day wanted to cough very badly but had to control becoz will have pain at the wound.

Hope you recover faster once you do your confinement. I think after 1 week you will forget the pain already.

But I hate the gas pain..it seems to appear every part of my body...btw the binder helps abit in walking.. I feel pain when urine, shitting.. very scared to go toilet to bend to sit on the toilet bowl coz wait cannot get up.

fabbie,
you so good, can wash hair 4 days once. The confinement lady and my mum-in-law only allow me to wash 2 weeks interval. Piang..1 day already..I cant stand..so I secretly wash when they are in the kitchen cooking...me faster chiong to toilet scrub..rinse n go to the room, lock myself..on the radio loud loud n blow dry my hair.

iemik0,
Do you have to take out the stitches? Tmr the doctor ask me to go back to remove the stitches. I abit scared leh..

iketarochan · Dec 8, 2008

I want to ask those who are undergoing confinement or are done with. When u mentioned shower with herbal water, do u lather your body with shower gel like u used to then splash or just only splash with herbal water without lathering with anything?

xiao_pooh · Dec 8, 2008

gill,
ya..me on full-FM..u?

i see..mine only poo poo once or twice daily..today havent poo..i so worried..is it normal not to poo in a day?

xiao_pooh · Dec 8, 2008

Ikeike,
I just shower yesterday cos its the 12th day le..so can bath..i used shower foam then washed it off using the hebal boiled water..

iketarochan · Dec 8, 2008

OOooh so can use shower foam la okie thanks

pinkiedew · Dec 8, 2008

merydith, need to remove stitches? my gynae say the stitches will dissolve by itself. i only went back to my gynae 1 week after discharge, he cut off the knot and replace the plaster for me.

ikeike, i use herbal water to splash then use shower gel then rinse with boiled warm water.

jollycow · Dec 8, 2008

juzyounme · Dec 8, 2008

girl80 - so cute. what's their wt now?

ask u all some qns abt pain ---

- the painkiller prescribed, if i take them according to instructions, will i still feel the pain be it i have a cut, tear or c-section?

- the supply of painkiller when discharge fr hospital will last how many days or weeks? if after supply is gone & still feel pain then how? just endure and it will be gone soon or? if pain threshold is low, can ask for longer supply or painkiller?

- i know some pple sit on float. can just find out the size of float u all buy, just nicely fit the outer part of ur butt or u all buy bigger?

I am back home.. Zach has a tinge of jaundice so gotta sun him at home tmr.. My BM (i tink shuld be BM) is finally here and bb hv enuf.

I posted the table above..if the info is inaccurate, please let me know ya..

jelybean · Dec 8, 2008

Loveangel...

I feed my bb whenever she wants.. even at night.. which means I barely sleep nowadays!!Haha!! She sometimes wake up every hour to feed!! I usually breastfeed till my first breast empty then go to the other.. But I haven't pump milk yet as I feel that I'm not producing like crazy to want me to store.. wait until my bb and I are in sync before I do it...

I find that washing my wound with salt water helps with wound healing... I sit on a sitz bath for about 20mins daily.. I didn't need painkillers after the 3rd day...

pink_dolphin · Dec 8, 2008

Carman - Thanks for your advise. Will go and have a look at the pigeon one.

Btw for Mummies who have given birth at Gleneagles, pls note that the birth registration counter is no longer available there since 01/12/08. You need to reg baby's birth cert at the ICA, so dun make a wasted trip down there if you've discharged and intend to return there within 2 weeks for the birth cert.

fabbie · Dec 8, 2008

iemiko
i pump every 5 times per day
wake up.. afternoon.. night.. before sleep.. middle of the night

girl80

jollycow

jowinbaby · Dec 8, 2008

hi merydith
i really hope after 1 week i can forget abt the pain. sigh.. the pain make me no mood for anything include bonding with baby. My hb has been talking to baby etc.. she can even listen to him already and sometimes really keep quiet n stop crying when he requested her to..

i have been trying my best to talk to baby etc etc but everytime feel so tired.. latch her on, pump milk etc etc..

Lucky my hb help me in trying to latch her, putting in good position of her for me to latch...I can't help by saying i love him even more after these few days

So far, i did 3 pump...1st 2 pump yield 20ml milk and 3rd pump at 10ml... Baby is under photo therapy and very dehydrated.. i hope to pump more to supplement her as i m in total breast feeding..

Sigh.. can't sit up anymore.. wound pain.. gonna go n lie down again..

HI pris
yes. n i wonder wat will be my hospital bill and wat happen if tomorrow she dun get discharge.. look like we really need to get ourselves discharge b4 the hospital bill jerk too high... sound scary

sirobaby · Dec 8, 2008

Hi Mummies,

Sorry to interupt. I am an Oct mummy.
I have 2 boxes of Medela washable breast pads for sale. Did not get to use them coz gave up breastfeeding since Day 1 ... Bought them for $20.50. Willing to sell them at $25. PM me if you are interested.

fabbie · Dec 8, 2008

juz
the float. buy those normal float for bigger kids.. those thicker.. and not for babies.. those are better.. unlike mine. my hub buy me a baby float that i sit on my chair i still can feel my butt -___- and unlike my mum bought for me a STAR float that im trying hard to fit on my chair. lolx

about the painkillers.. i duno man. previously my painkillers didnt really help?! i duno. i must get my painkillers again so i know the pain. =)

jollycow · Dec 8, 2008

fabbie,
the lotion given by hos to clean the wound down there . I didn't read the earlier thread. Are you still pain there and you need the lotion? Must try not to sit too long too. I think i over exert myself the 1st week, now whenever i stand for a while, I can feel a pain down there, but not around the stitch area but the urine area. WOnder if it's normal..

Anyone feels the same?

merydith · Dec 8, 2008

Mimi,
yah leh..my gynae told me he use the nylon thread so that my skin wun react to much to foreign object...so this thread must take out one. Alamak I so scared. He replace the plaster for you ? So how long more to put the plaster there? Btw do you still wear binder after?

jowin,
hehe your hubby is very good...
I also felt very very tired 1st wk.I find that after I discharge from hospital and start on confinement food and the dates tea, it really booast my energy..maybe u try the sleeping position to feed your baby? If you can, try to latch often coz it will increase BM n try to eat as much fish as possible coz it also helps the wound heal faster. My baby also kena jaundice because of dehydration. End up supplement him with formula for 1 day before my milk supply increase.

fabbie,
ya I tried not washing hair for 2 days...aiyo so disgusted with my hair...whole day thinking of my scalp until can't tahan. Haha..

ikeke,
I use a towel and herbal water to rub away dirt first, then wash the herbal water, apply my Esemtan body wash and then shower off with warm water.

At first I just apply body wash and rinse off with the herbal water..end up whole body itchy and confinement lady say got some ppl are allergic to the herb...and she tell me lidat I better not bathe...*faint..end up I bluff say only leg itchy..so body still can bath.

bubblepearl · Dec 9, 2008

wah lau...my nipples r feeling sore sore now..after my boi finish his meal..is breast shield going to help?

nitestar · Dec 9, 2008

I have the same prob as bubble_pearl... only 5th say of latching.... n its v sore... tried the nipple cream... it helped a bit...

pinkiedew · Dec 9, 2008

jollycow, are u bfing your boy? that day when i went to polyclinic for my boy's jaundice blood test, the doc did mention that jaundice level is more difficult to drop if the mother is fully bfing the baby.

merydith, my gynae replace a plaster for me, but now a smaller strip. i got to remove and plaster and stick it back myself if i wan to bathe. btw, that day when my gynae cut the knot and he showed me, the thread is in blue colour. i can remove the plaster anytime now and i am still using the binder. he says the best is to use the binder for 2 mths.

fabbie · Dec 9, 2008

luthadel · Dec 9, 2008

Morning ladies
I've been super tired. HB down with chest infection since last Monday and now he is still staying with my in-laws so that baby Bryan will not be affected :s AND.... my CL will be leaving this Thursday and if my HB still down, i really jia lat :S!

Carmen
If the slit on the vent in your bottle is not open, just give a soft squeese and it should be open, otherwise you'll hv to cut it. Mine was already open when i first use it.

Jowin
If baby still has jaundice and you want her to be discharged with you, ask your PD about renting the phototheraphy machine. We rented it and it works for Bryan.

iemik0 · Dec 9, 2008

xiao pooh
how abt giving ur bb some water? if take formula, muz give sips of water at times.

merydith
i hav to take out stitches. juz took it out tis morning. dr juz snip off d sides of d sutures n pull out one long thread. gave mi a shock to c d thread so long but i don feel any pain.

how come u need to remove stitches? usually use disolvable stitches. i had veri bad keloids from my 1st c-sect so my dr wan to use non-disolvable ones.

mimi
if dr hav to cut stitches, means ur one is non-disolvable as well. blue threads are non-disolvable. onli off-white thread is.

Hi mummies! Haven't logged in for a long time liao. Breastfeeding is really quite stressful. Sometimes David feeds for 10 minutes and stops, and sometimes he can go on for 30 minutes. I dunno what is the norm, and if he is having enough. Was quite stressed out for a while. Anyway, I'd like to share a great breastfeeding resource which I've found to be very useful. It has lots of pictures and comprehensive guides on latching on, under/over supply issues etc.

http://www.llli.org/resources.html?m=0

Pris, I go on a demand/3-hourly basis. i.e. the max amount of time lapse between two feeds is 3 hours. If he wakes up and cry, I feed. If he sleeps through, I wake him up once the three hours is up. David tends to fall asleep at the breast, so sometimes if he only manages to drink for a short while, chances are he'll wake up within the hour to demand for milk. I feed from one breast at each feeding leh. David can't seem to "drain" the breast of milk like what the books say... So I feed from the same breast sometimes at two consecutive feedings, just to make sure he gets to the hind milk as much as possible. I only pump 10, 20mls out when I'm in a lot of pain. Other than that, I dun pump at all.

girl80: Congrats! Your girls are both back home!
