Thanks! U mean we can't bathe? How come? No shower in the bathroom?
Oh only 10pcs, then easy to use up. Ok I will bring my Pureen ones then, since the comments here is that the normal thin sanitary pads are too thin to cushion the wound.
U did C-sect? Did u find that u needed a cardigan for the cold?

the pureen pads u mentioned isit from kiddy palace? if it is, i used it, dun really like it...to soft then the pad will go out of shape after awhile... i tink u can jus get normal pads those overnight ultralong one...more safe...maternity pads i feel is for ppl who go for natural cos there is wound down there n therefore need softer pads... for C section, i dun haf much flow...checked w gynae, he said its b cos c section they can us clear the blood so not much flow after tat.
Also its not That cold la...since resting in bed most of the time, there's blanket. =) but i tink can bring a swadling blanket for baby cos TMC's abit small to wrap around.

shirley, joanns
Thanks a lot for your advice. My Hubs took a look at my list & joked that he'll have to drag out the big luggage bag to put all the things I listed down. Men! Wait till I not pack, then make him bring everything for me last min, then he'll know!
joanns
Yeah mine is Pureen pads from Kiddy Palace one. I'm gog for natural, so I guess maybe I need softer pads? Unless I kena emergency C-sect
Thanks for telling me abt the blanket for BB. I was trying to decide whether to bring since they're already giving. But yet I bot a few blankets for BB to use too, so a bit wasted if dun bring & use. I was so KS I even bot 2 Swaddle Mes lor!
babymaking

Joia, i had pre-eclampsia too and gave birth 4 weeks ahead of schedule by c-section.
for the other mummies wondering what a c-section will be like, mine was under GA (to prevent excessive bleeding bcos of my condition) so I don't know what the delivery process will be like. but the recovery process isn't too bad at all.
the nurses will shave your lower abdomen area and stick in a urine catheter at the labour ward. then u go into the operating theatre and voila, u have a baby!
TMC provides a pack of maternity loop pads (10 pads per pack). if you have a c-section, the bleeding is less and that pack will probably be enough.
u may not want to change to ur own pajamas when still using this maternity pad bcos it will leak and u might as well dirty the hospital gown.
personally, i wore the hospital gown the whole time i was in hospital. but i wore it the other way round, with the ribbons in front, to facilitate breastfeeding. worked great!
if u want to change to disposable panties after 2nd day, make sure they are huge panties and the elastic sits nears your belly button.
i brought some nightsafe pads which are 40.5 cm long and it was super safe - no leaks. no need to be so 'kua zhang'. normal nightsafe pads will do. once i got home, i switched to normal pads actually.
TMC provided Pampers diapers for my little baby. and it was more than enough, we brought the extra home.
after a c-section, there will be a lot of wind in ur stomach. bcos wind gets in when they cut open ur stomach. the 1st day (before u are able to get up to move around) is very uncomfortable. u may want to bring some medicated oil to rub gently on ur stomach to ease the discomfort. the nurses can also give u a medicine to drink. it has a chalky taste. but once u get up to move around, the wind gets a lot better.
the best part about a c-section is that there's no fear in going to the toilet later. there's no additional pain.
all the best to everyone!

I had given birth on 3 Aug.
Bb boy weighed 3.55kgs, 52cm, natural with epi.
Waterbag burst when I was actually not at home, thank God I had packed some maternity pads in the car, and that evening (830pm, 2 Aug), I was wearing black pants.
Admitted to hospital @ 10pm, bb arrived at 1.50am.
Both my pregnancy, whenever the contractions came, I puked and puked, hence this time round, I insisted to have epi to stop the puking.
<font color="ff0000">Jul</font>
When bb is discharged, TCM will give you 1 diaper bag, 1 baby top, 1 swaddle cloth.
Btw, maybe you would like to bring along your netted panties.
As TCM only provides 2 netted panties.

We had to upgrade to premier ward as the day when we checked in, all the single bedded room were occupied.

hang in there, keep expressing and latching, like what the rest said, the milk will come. Drink lots and lots of fluid also, it helps. I didn't latch on my gal first 2 days cos I had C section and my wound was too painful for me to do any bfdg, so supplement with FM...when I came home, my ss was bad too, i cried every day cos I was depress cos the ss was very low and I really don't want to feed bb with FM, then I slowly express and initally i only got 30 mil on both breast after 1 hour of expressing ard day 5, nipple was SORE! it's day 12 now I"m only getting 50mil on both breast after 15mins of expressing..it's tuff but I'm not giving up cos I believe milk will come...I hope the same for you too. Take care there

Hi,
i just gave birth on the 6 aug. Staying at TMC 1 bedded. they actually have hairdryer in the room, full set of toiletries including toothbrush and toothpaste.
As for the baby, they will be providing everything. Pampers shld be more than enough.
Suggest to bring extra maternity pads as it would not be enough.
Suggest to bring more nightwear and nursing bras just in case.
Im staying extra night as baby has jaundice.
