Thank God for good visit to PD today. Managed to feed and change him and get to apptmt early. Took blood test for jaundice and we waited over a Delifrance lunch to see if he'd need hospitalisation. YIPPEE!!! He was 215 (whatever that means), if he'd touched 250, would have needed to be hospitalised.
Re: Breastfeeding
Not very successful leh. The little guy doesn't want to suckle properly. Goodness me, he howls the entire house down during a nursing session. Started pumping last night and
thank God for plentiful supply. My sis is surprised by how much I'm expressing.
Kyle had FOUR dirty diapers today in a single afternoon after the PD visit!
*I must confess I overfed him with all the pump contents cos didn't know how much he was supposed to take* Yay!! The meconium is FINALLY out of his system! Hopefully the jaundice will clear up shortly.
Bubu~, tt NZ case is ridiculous! I mean - adding 2 zeros, I can understand... but THREE?! I'd have withdrawn EVERYTHING and disappeared from the face of the earth! *WAAHAHAHAHA!* What a mistake!
dolly, nursing times are a bit of a nightmare at this point. He's wailing and howling and kicking and thrashing and launching himself off my breastfeeding pillow... How to collect / pump other side?! *sob* So I'm just cleaning up other boob leakages with tissue and wash cloths. So wasted *grizzle grizzle*
Shelisa, u poor woman. What a relief to have a proper diagnosis after all your suffering! Will it take long to clear up after delivery?
Ling is doing alright, I guess. Just discharged on Thursday so still settling at home. No baby measurement details yet. I haven't pressed either. The entire GA Caesarian saga was quite a traumatic one for her and she is NOT PLEASED with Woody. She's still coming to terms with the horrid experience and no doubt also healing from her C-sec wound. Having painful probs breastfeeding cos Elena was given formula in a cup while Ling was still out of it after her surgery.
> I am also worried. Been giving Kyle Justus expressed milk in a dropper. No incentive to suckle if the food is delivered
<font size="+1">Jackie!!</font>, our support goes with you! May you have a smooth delivery and baby arrive safe and sound! Look fwd to your good news!
Mika~, just keep monitoring. As they say, you CAN'T miss true labour contractions. Even if you do in the beginning, you'll eventually realise it's the real thing. As for the soft bowel movements before delivery, mine began about a week before my obgyn determined I was 3-4cm dilated... OOOoooooH~ The time could be drawing near! EXCITING!!!
*SO HAPPY* Hubby is out getting me Subway cookies! </font>
