7.15am was told my nurse anesthetist caught in jam,coming at 8.15am. pain is pumping and body shifting sidewards and hands holding the bars of the bed as the pain step in
8.45am still no sign of the anesthetist...
9.15am finally arrived. administered epi... swift and almost painless jab. put on the drip together
10.30am gynae checked,6cm dilated.hooray...but hb still having arrive,so slower down the drip
12.15pm HB arrived...relieved... but shivering due to epi's side effect

Hi ladies! Congrats to all who have been promoted to mummy status!
I'm in labour ward now. Yesterday went for checkup and gynae said bb not growing so advised to induce. Admitted at midnight and inserted pill. Now just burst waterbag, super painful now - 3 cm dilated, should deliver in the afternoon.
Mo3- I am also in GlenE. Meet up later ok!

novakido > now 1 week since i popped. my EDD was today.
A bit lost in the forum after motherhood 
Then place very crowded with PIL and parents in the day.. Plus all the feedings..
Finally some 'me' time hehe.. Can post my super over-dated birth story
16 Jan
6 pm: Was at forum and doing cross-stitch when water bag suddenly burst.. initially just a few gushes, then went toilet 2 times and suddenly all wet. Got bloody show too. Sms hubby who was like 'wah! really ah?'. Parents fetch me home and da bao food for us.
646 pm: Contractions started while in the car home. Every 2-3 mins.
7 pm: Quickly shower and decide to bring da bao food to Mt A instead.
7-8 pm: Longest car ride it feels like.. jam on expressway to Mt A.
830 pm: Finally admitted to delivery ward. Feels cold. Nurse check baby and contractions and make me empty stools. Called gynae, who allows me to eat da bao food (yay!)
1030 pm: Gynae comes and allows for administration of drip to speed up labour as well as epidural. Dilation only 1 cm.
11 pm: Epidural and drip administered.
17 Jan
12 am: Blood pressure drops, baby heart rate also drops. Quickly taken off drip and epidural placed at very low dose.
2 am: Thankfully dilations proceed, around 2-3 cm dilated.
530 am: 5-6 cm dilated.
630 am: Start to feel contractions more pain and something below. Ask nurse to increase epidural.
Suddenly nurse realise 10 cm dilated! Baby coming anytime! Placed on oxygen mask as baby heartrate dropping.
700 am: Gynae comes, start to push. No feeling as epidural increased. Start to vomit which was really the worst part.
716 am: Gynae does epistiomy and with a bit of pushing, baby is out!!
Baby is small but cute at 2.4 kg. But keep vomitting for the next few hours. Shouldnt have increased epidural if I knew baby coming out already!
Baby is doing fine now, but I have problems with latching on - baby doesnt drink enough so by expressing fully I know baby gets enough. Anyone of full expressing of bm rather than latching too? Im a bit sad that miss out on the bonding during latching.

pinkie > take care!!!!!!
ni: ya lor..those closer friends la...ask me what i intend to do to shed off those fats...some just commented that i am fat!! but i take it easy la...just gave birth one month ago leh...and furthermore, i am not those with slim genes...my mum had big butt so i expected myself also lor..
sus: how come u have problems latching on leh? u have short/inverted nipples also? i also expressed out BM for my son...but at times i also latch him while warming up his bm..
sus: how come u have problems latching on leh? u have short/inverted nipples also? i also expressed out BM for my son...but at times i also latch him while warming up his bm..
mercs: no leh my nipples are ok, I also thought I latch ok. But realize that my son suckle up to 1 hr but still don't get enough (my breasts hard still and he cries after 1/2 hr). I don't latch well enough according to the lactation consultant so end up my son suckles for up to 1 hour and still doesnt get enough. My nipples also very sore so I scared to latch on. Is nipple soreness quite common initially? Im only day 6 today.

sus: i totally expressed out my bm one. i cant latch cos of inverted nipples. and these few days expressed out and pour away my milk, cos i sick, dun wan to pass on virus to baby... i just poured away 140ml in the morning and 110ml just now! heartpain. hope i can resume giving ebm tml! and u may wan to try applying nipple cream for sore nipples (i using avent)
hi gals, hope everyone is coping well wif ur newborns.
Have u gals done up any blog...maybe can link together??
Btw, rachel can help to update my details? i delivered my 2nd boy on 15th Jan. Actual EDD was 31st Jan but as bb's head din turn down so i went for LSCS with epidural. Realli a different experience for me as my 1st boy was by natural delivery. I must say natural delivery is still so much beta compared to c-sect.
Baby's Name: Darius
Weight: 3.2kg
tks!!

hi ladies,
just finished reading 6 pages of postings! congrats to sus & mo3..and jia you to pinkie!
recently i've been crying almost everyday cos i hate being confined at home, or rather, in the room. i dread going out to the living room where my dad will pass his not so nice comments, so i just keep myself in the room with baby. its very depressing! yesterday was such a relief as i had the chance to go out for my gynae & PD's appt. had a long talk with my gynae and broke down in front of her because i'm falling into depression. i can see that she was almost trearing herself. i think confinement is still ok, but its the people that we are confined with (MIL or mum, dad, CL, maid etc etc) that makes our stress level go up. dont u agree? the other day i brought bb down for some sunlite and kena scolding by him and then he nag and nag and nag the whole nite. and when i come out into the kitchen, i have to pass the living room where he just sits his bloody ass ther and talk cock, he will sneak into the room to see baby and then come out and pass fuc*@#% comments! he just nag and nag about everything. about neighbours, abt karang guni man, abt me, abt my sis, abt my mum, abt my older kids etc etc. and he also drinks so it is worse. confinement already so jialat, so imagine being CONFINED in your room?? worse rite? there is no outlet to express out. my hubby came by yesterday and brought my PC so i can come into SMH and chat here, or msn my friends. yesterday also went to visit mrs wong and she help clear my block milk ducts and showed me the proper way to latch and pump. i managed to pump 160 mls on the first day when my milk came in. yesterday pumped another 60 mls. went to see PD and baby is slightly jaundiced, else everythign is ok. he is now drinking 90mls every 3 hourly. i asked PD if he is being overfed, and PD said babies this age should drink as much as they want, so long it is every 3 hourly, passing urine & motion ok and burping ok. sorry for the long post, and sorry for venting. i just need an outlet to let go.
thanks all for your kind thoughts and words. will try to remain positive. trying very hard to block out those negative, talk cock remarks from my dad!
ni: are u ok? sayang.. we jia you together.

samval: good to hear from you. yes i agree confinement is tough, i really missed the pregnancy days man! confinement is already tough enough, still have to cope with those unncecessary comments from your own relatives or parents. makes confinement even more sucky. dun worry, we will get thru this very soon! i am already day 19! and yes, i do total expressing. i pump every 3 hours and middle of the nite, after bb is being fed and goes to slp i will pump loh..
dun cry ok? i noe diff to hold back tears, cos me been crying so much that hb says i have post natal blues and is a emo monster! haha. irritating hb!

mercs: thanks. i'm just waiting for this confinement to be over. btw, fenugreek also dont work for me, but since my gynae give me yesterday i might as well finish it lor. she also gave me another med under prescription, Domperidome.
ni: heehee.. your hubby call u emo monster? guess he trying to cheer u up. thanks for the tip on pumping. i also hope to do like u too.
bb march: will try not to cry but sometimes just cant help it. my hb is not staying wif me during this period (i'm staying wif my mum) cos he gotta take care of my #1 & send her to school.
blessedmum: i pay abt 40 plus. less than 50 - abt an hour session. she will show u how to latch using the breastfeeding pillow, then massage your breast and later pump milk aft latching. watever milk pumped will put in a bottle and u bring back. i find aft she massage, instantle when pumped got milk. but when i tried the same method at home ystdy, ony have 40 mls leh. maybe din massage hard enuff.
piyo: that time i also stop latching due to sore nipples. in fact my nipples still sore! and each time i offer the breast to bb, he will struggle and make a face and turn away. its very stressful! then ystdy i saw mrs wong, and she unwrapp bb, put him to my breast (or rather force bb to latch) then only successful. but when i came home bb still dun wanna latch so i do the same method as mrs wong. maybe u wanna pop by to see her?
