Hi mummies,
Saw someone asking how much milk for the baby when they come out. This is the website i use for my no 1 when she was a small infant.
http://www.fourfriends.com/cgi-bin/milk.pl
Infant dun really know how to reject milk but know how to cry when not enough. Maybe this website can help most of the mummies here...

Mothers who have popped with Gynae Eunice Chua, need your advise on the hospital bill at TMC. How much did you pay in total for Natural birth with Epidural for a 1 bedded ward??
Much appreciated
Much appreciated
Ok, here is my birth story:
19/2/09 (AM)
Gynae checkup in morning--2cm dilated. Baby is very low and engaged already. Feel very grumpy coz baby has been very low and engaged for the longest time! And if she doesn't come out soon, I have to go bk to school (to teach) and its very sian coz they already arranged relief teacher and so i'm sort of 'redundant'.
Gynae suggested walking/squatting more perhaps could come out over the weekend. Went bk to school to hand over stuff.
19/2/09 (PM)
Abt 4pm plus: was at MIL house. Feeling slight contractions, but not unbearable. Already 'booked' my hubby to go watch a movie before impending confinement soon.
Abt 6pm plus: we set off for J8. Along the way, contractions already coming quite consistently and strong. Decided to call off movie date and head home for hospital bag. Returned to MIL's house for dinner. By then already no appetite, could only manage a bowl of soup. Headed off to TMC with hubby.
7pm plus admitted to delivery suite. told the nurse MUST have epidural!!! when doc came in to administer epidural, he was chatting with one of the filipino nurses. even after he went off, the nurse kept on talking away to me. I was feeling light-headed and dizzy and wanted her to help me shift the bed's position but it was tough getting a word in!
had to raise my voice to get her attention.
10pm plus:
Gynae instructed the nurse to turn down my epidural so tt i can feel the contractions and get the baby out sooner. That was when the nightmare started--it was really painful! started crying and in the end the nurse turned up the dosage again. By then already quite traumatised
1120pm
Nurse started to get me to push. 19Feb is actually my FIL's birthday and Gynae said she'll try to get bb out on 19feb. She came in at 1145pm! Started pushing more earnestly, and amazingly at 1156pm Baby Rae was born.
She made it before her coach turned into a pumpkin!

Just to say hi to all mummies!
Esp Daphne and Alfafa who must be somewhere down the hall from me. I am near the ICU so come and say hi if you are still here
I delivered on 23rd Feb after 37 hours of labour. So incredibly tired. Baby also exhausted and admitted to ICU. She came off the oxygen today but still on glucose and anti biotic drips. Please send your love to her so I can hold, feed and bring her home soon!
Will update more when I am less tired.
Good luck to the rest of the mummies!

hi mommies,
just finished BF-ing my bb girl. She's back to the nursery for now. I'm in a 2 bedded but Mt Alvernia generally lets us keep the bb in the ward with us from morn till night time, abt 8 9pm. Have opted for Total BF so during the night time the nurses will wheel bb to me as and when BFing is required.
BTW, the nurses here at Mt Alvernia are wonderful.
I'll discharging tomorrow. Had my C-sec op with epidural at 4ish 5pm on Mon 23 Feb at Mt Alvernia.
Here is baby Grace, 38w 5th day, 2.94kg 52cm. Alot of friends said that 52cm is quite tall for a bb girl. Hehe guess she takes after her daddy, cos I'm a shortie at 1.52m while he is 1.8m tall.
For what it's worth I have to commend my gynae for a successful surgery. He really took his time with the stitches, took about 30min just on stitching me back alone. He also got me one of the most highly sought after anesthetist, Dr C.C. Lu. His touch was gentle; dosage just perfect and I hardly felt the drip needle or the epidural (apparently mine was a regional epi which meant a much finer needle than usual). He was also very comforting in the way he always let me ahead of everything he is about to do.
My gynae has also told me that he used the type of stitches that requires removal (as opposed to the type that disappears into the skin over time) becos this type of stitches actually hold the wound together much better. One of my friends who visited me and had c-sec before told me the same too.
The wound didn't hurt as bad as many made C-sec out to be. It hurts yes but it is bearable really, esp with the binder. Do get your gynae to wrap it on you IMMED upon end of surgery! My op ended at about 6.30pm and by lunch time the next day they took away the drip (for pain) and urine cathether. Gynae wanted me to take my first steps out of bed and to urinate naturally as soon as possible. And I did! Was so proud of myself. While it hurts when I make sudden movement, I find that it gets easier as I walk a few more steps.
BFing is definitely not a problem with c-sec wounds as well.
For those going for c-sec, I would strongly recommend going with epidural as you and your hubby would then be able to witness the birthing of your precious
the first cry
the first breath
the first moment of him coming into this world ...
nothing can ever come close to that beautiful and awesome divine experience that you and hubby will have. Hubby and I were filled with such an indescribable joy that we simply couldn't stop weeping when we heard her cries.
Can really understand the astounding love of a father and mother now as I become one myself
congrats to new mommies who have popped! haven't have time to read the archives but I am just happy for all anyway. And for those waiting ..... what a moment to savour when it comes. Wish I could relive that moment of exhilaration but it is really a one time thing (as I'm sure will be diff for each pregnancy/birth). Wish you all beautiful memories
going to zzz now before the next feed

Pumpkin,
just saw your message! 37hrs???????
Will pray for you and the little one OK? am discharging tomorrow (thu). Have only been walking to the ward toilet and back, and not one step more. Not sure if I can go visit you.
Come to think of it ... I'll have to be walking alot tomorrow since I'm discharging. yikes.
p/s my neighbour snores are thunderous when she reaches deep sleep every night. Even my hubby's snores pale in comparison.

Really happy for you and also all the best to your BF
Hmmmm.... looks like you have to tahan 1 more night of symphony. Get some good rest when you're home tomorrow!

Alfafa, congrats!!! Grace is so cute! Maybe I can peep at her on my way to ICU, my room is quite near the nursery so I can still walk there very slowly. But then after that have to be wheel chaired back. I had 2 long tears so it hurts a lot! Woke up early because of the pain. Bu anything is worth it to be able to touch her.
Mummies, I know this may sound redundant but do treasure every moment with your babies even when they are crying non-stop. We have not had her in the room with us ever since she was born, have not been able to hold her (except once for few minutes), or soothe and feed her. We were also advised to touch her minimally while she is in ICU to cause her less stress. It's really quite 'heart pain'!! I think when we finally can do all that we will appreciate it 10 times more.
Thanks for your kind words Kome

Wow! Wake up reading all the new birth stories have me welling my eyes out! :~) So happy for you brave gals!
Pumpkin seed! Hooray after 37hrs! That would have knocked me out! Stay strong and hope all is well!
Clio! That's a sweet and great birth story to share with your gir-girl when she grows up.
Alfafa, glad to hear your gynae step up the plate to impress you both in the end after all that! Your bb gal has your eyes!
Had a hard time sleeping last night again. Just too many things running through my mind. Hubby also get woken up and ask me why my eyes still wide open. I don't have an answer, just sleepless in Melbourne these days.

p3pp3r, yes it was so super long. Everyone thinks I am a bit mad because I took epi only after 30 hours.
babe, I was completely knocked out after delivery. I didn't even know how I got to the ward from delivery room. Maybe that's why it's taking me so long to recover from natural birth. As for the sleeplessness, I completely empathise. In fact, the 2 night before I started contractions, I didn't sleep a wink, just closed eyes. Maybe you're nearing your delivery date? How is Melb these days with the bushfires and all? I used to live there so been checking theage.com.au for updates

Sleepless too?! Oh dear. But it's very early for you though, not even 6am! Yea, let us know how your check up goes! Bb'll be fine! No worries, ya?
Very strange for me. I usually don't have such a problem, from pre-preg & preggy time. Only now last few days, always half asleep, have some strange dreams, then awake and stare out the window.

Thanks. Yup, i wake up at around 5.30am feeling hungry and cannot went back to sleep. Make myself a cup of milk and read all the posts here. Maybe we have been too stressing of ourself which lead to sleepless night.
Ok.....i going back to lay down and see if can catch some sleep. Will update here after my check up. Haha.....but normally i got not much to update as my gynae does not say alot.

Ya, really not surprised it knocked you out! :] Keep rested as much as you can so your wound can heal faster. Very happy you come through it.
Oh yea, I'm due in 5 days!!! Yikes. Bb's moving quite a bit, guess she's still trying to figure out where's the exit?! Haha.
You lived here, too? Yea, it was a shock when we arrived in Jan, there were 2 very hot days just around CNY due to the heatwave when temp rise to 45 degs in the day and the the evening was 39 degs. Can you imagine my hubby and i just left Singapore which has aircon to our little melbourne city apt which they only provide 2 electric fans and 3 wall heaters! Hahaha. We were baking hot. Fortunately, we are nowhere near the bushfires up in the North although the news shows diagrams of the bushfires seems like whole of Mel is surrounded. Terrible tragedy and lost of lives though.
So far, the weather's been back to its unpredictable normal Mel climate. Always just make sure I bring my cardigan outside just in case.

Kome, yes my dilation was extremely slow. 17 hours after regular contractions started, I dilated a grand total of 1cm....fainted! Then after 9 hours more, it was 5cm. 6 hours later, only 6cm. Had to have epi, oxytocin, manual breaking of waterbag and yet still couldn't fully dilate. Gynae says my contractions just were not strong enough. My parents are a bit upset because they think I should have gone for C-section much earlier to avoid stressing the baby. But no point to backtrack now
Good luck with your appointment later!
Babe, oh I def remember the unpredictable Me;b weather. 4 seasons in a day hehe. My previous apartment didn't have A/C too so I purchased a water cooler. All it did was blow hot air at me. Make sure you keep hydrated in that kind of heat. Which hospital are you delivering at? I used to live near the Cabrini.

Weather here is a bit loopy! OMG Water cooler, we were SOOOO close to buying one during Jan, it was really getting unbearable. That hot week, we saw many students (RMIT & Mel Univ) carrying their newly purchased desk fan along the shopping area like their bao bei. But end up, we got over those few hot days and decided to buy a nice LCD TV from Dick Smith instead as the owner provided us a crappy TV. Though my hubby had to carry a 16.5kg TV box on his own to the taxi stand, he was quite happy.
I'm going to deliver my bb in Royal Women's Hospital. They have a new maternity wing at Royal Melbourne Hospital so the facilities are pretty good. Our apt is just 15 mins walk from there, on Franklin St, near Queen Vic market.
