sy76,
how old is your #1 ? boi/gal?
hey my colleague is 38 & she is expecting her #2 now! I don't think i'll have the energy & courage to have a baby after 35, risky for mummy & baby.
hi sun96,
Do u happen to be a Virgo mummy too?
Having #1 is an exciting journey. For me, i ttc #1 for 3.5yrs & my boy is 6mths now. We didn't expect/plan #2 to arrive so early since we tried so long for #1. I was gg thru an emotional rollar coaster last week thinking whether to keep the baby anot. I wanted but hubby not keen. But now, glad he has come to accept baby

sy,
i total bf/latch only for 1 month. Not that i wanna give up bf but due to pretty bad engorgement & block ducts. I suffered 2 high fever during my confinement. I have plenty of BM supply & need to pump every 3hourly to clear engorgement otherwise breast turn rock hard very fast. I have to massage very hard to relief engorgement till breast also blue black. Hubby ask me to stop bf when he see me so xin ku. I have to take pills to stop BM. How about you ? How long did u bf yr gal? I hope this time round, i can persevere BFing for #2 for at least 6mths.

Hi ladies. Wow this threads moves so fast!
I have been sick yesterday.
After the lump scare, I fell sick cos hubby is sick. Feverish, cold and nauseaus. Today also, feel nauseaus. Is it normal to experience some nauseausness so early??
I spoke too soon when I say I have no symptom.

hi ladies
i think i need to migrate to february mum thread.
cos my gynae just reconfirm my edd last night and have shifted the EDD to 22 of feb. Actually that was what i initially calculated based on my ovulation hehe.
anyway i think can safely take me out of the list.
will come in once in a while to say hi.

i hope for the best for you. most importantly is take care of your health and emotion.

sy76 & elita,
Salute & well done with BFing for so long
Hopefully this time i am still bless with gd supply. For #1, i took pills to stop supply & scare dunno whether will affect my supply for #2
sun96,
now i think still too early to tell. My colleague also experience breast soreness but her milk supply was limited, she has to take fernugreek to boost up her supply which didn't help much. For me, i don't have soreness but was bless with gd supply. The reason could be explained as, i've told myself that demand = supply theory so the more i am determine to bf, the more my supply build up. My breast milk kick in during the 4th day when i delivered my baby. As for my colleague, she wasn't so ON to BF & scare of engorgement so abit negative so the brain is not having the let-down signal, therefore no/low breast milk bah. Bfing is a lot of hard work, every women can do it if we persevere! JIA YOU!

Hi, I am new to this forum. First time MTB. Just tested positive. Based on my LMP, I should be 5 weeks plus. so excited but scared at the same time! am trying to get an appt to see my gynae soon.
I bf for 1 year. Had all sorts of problems when I first started. Engorement, fever and also milk duct was blocked (even had to go to a breast specialist to remove the blockage).
Still preserve on to bf after all the hassle and indeed very xin-gu.
My supply was not a lot initially but grew more and more as you bf more. Also a good breast pump is impt and can help increase supply. esp for working moms is impt to get a good pump.
I invested on Medela double pump and it was really good - pump fast and can help increase supply. So new moms can consider....
I tried the manual ones like Evant, no good - nothing came out esp. when you have bad engorements, they cannot clear at all (too hard like rock).
Next time, if you have very very bad engorements, try massage your breasts with warm towel, then get baby to latch on - they can help to clear engorements fast. Otherwise, if your baby is not close to you (like you are working), then massage and pump with breast pumps.
Else, you can seek help from lactation nurses in hospitals like TMC - they have very powerful pumps that are for commercial use - can help clear engorements (though they charge).

Initially my supply is not alot also, as my son was quite heavy i carry him to breastfeed till my hand want to broken already + i like to eat junk food. Thats why i did not bf him anymore. That time had buy a farlin single breastpump which was not good at all and had brought it abit late.
Sun
Electric one is better. Manual one not that good to use although its cheaper than the electric one
sweet basil
Congrats. You tested on pregnancy test kit so late?

hi sun,
The one I am referring is the electric pump. Just switch on the power, and place the pump on 2 breasts and they will suck the bm for you. Manual one, you have to keep pressing the lever for each suction. Very tiring esp. if it is single. e.g. One breast take 15min, 2 breast take 30min !!! Your lunch break will be gone by then.
Bf is good for babies... My gal did not fall sick for first 2 years with 1st year on bm.
She only started falling sick after she joined playgroup.

One thing I learn when bf, you have to drink a lot and eat well.
For moms like me, whose supply is not a lot, we have to work harder.
During your first few months, drink a lot of soup. All kinds (of cos the best they say is papaya and fish soup.) as you bf, you lose water, so need to replenish your body with water and soups contains a lot of nutrients good for your bb.
Eat well too.... Carry on to take calcium pills after giving birth and also eat a lot of fish. It helps to produce milk. That is what the lactation nurses taught me.
For lucky moms, I saw a few, their milk is so much ... so envious and they don't need to work on it .. just come naturally. After 4-5 months, when your supply is established, your body knows it needs to produce that amount of bm, supply will just come naturally.

hi sun,
The Medela electric double pump is around $290 when I bought it (few year ago). Not sure if they increase the price now. But it is a good investment. You can get it during GSS sales period 20% discount.
yes, now she is in playgroup (2 hrs). My MIL pick her up as I have to work. Next year, if 2nd bb comes, will plan to put her in child care cos my MIL cannot take care of 2 kids.

Thanks kome and sun96!
Yup, tested so late as have been stressed out with work recently so thought delayed. But actually have been TTC since Jan, this is the first month that I told myself to take it easy and not worry about TTC. So never test until a few days ago. my LMP is 16th June
Actually thinking back, there were some signs present: like i keep feeling bloated and not wanting to eat oily food (which i usually love!)
also my clothes have started to feel tighter, esp around my waist. Is that normal? I thought usually only after 3months than the tummy will show.

congrats and welcome
caca
me also feel nausea but no need pill i guess. the pill is for those who cannot control and have the need to puke.
me bought the medela PIS. Very good. It helped me to relieve my engorment and increase my supply. But of cos mummies have to pump diligently.

Is the Medela electric double pump noisy?
Previously i had the Medela Mini Electric & the pump is abit noisy like grass cutting. I sold it off in March. Anyway, my massage lady was recommending me the Ameda Dual Electric Pump (S$368) but i find it too costly. Maybe i will consider to buy a 2nd hand or to rent.
sun96,
Don't rush into buying a breast pump. Try to borrow from friends to try or rent from hospital. Whether it's a manual or electric pump, it all depends on the user & your supply (how effective the pump work for u). Trial & error b4 u invest in a ex pump & consider how long u wanna bf to make yr pump worth the investment
