mashy
what is urine cathetal? yah really wth if they refuse to bring baby in. can call for head nurse!? *watch too much drama* i think those nurses are just lazy... during hospital tour, i saw some nurses at the counter on those patients wards chit chatting... like nothing to do like that. so free and laugh so loud.

now i am so used to be inside aircon room. hubby sleep in the afternoon with air-con on, then i sleep at night with air-con on... so basically i am in aircon room for almost 2/3 of the day. i think during confinement i will hide inside my room also when i am free haha. hopefully MIL wont go and take leaves and kaypoh else she dont let me. *pray hard hard*

babymaking
you are welcome. true i also got confused cos the packaging is the same cept the words. i was like standing there reading for awhile cos the one i got is in a travel bag and it is sealed. lucky the taka sales girl quite helpful that time, came and explain to me inside the pack got what and took the normal packaging for me to read the instruction ect. for now maybe just try seabamed, avent or those free samples bah. i got a lots of free samples from pureen and some from seabamed!! lol

shizuka
i think after i finish using the mustela ones i got, i will use up all the seabamed, pureen samples. if zachary is ok with pureen, i will just go and buy that haha. mustela is slightly expensive if gonna use that permanently. when he is just born, give him better stuffs after a few months, chin chai liao~ keke

cherrios
haha i want to get some sleeveless top. i find my arms are like slimmer now during preggie leh. donno where the fats went... last time fatter one. hopefully after giving birth, all my fats wont come back.

i think those arab women will get heat stroke for being so wrapped up!

mashy :Really Thanks for sharing your nite feeding experience. before this, i am still feeling paisay to ask the nurse to bring the bb to me at nite. Wait scared they think "wa-lau...this woman, so troublesome, no milk within 1st few days, nite time also come n trouble us, to bring the bb over".
Ok, in that case, I wun feel paisay , will ask the nurse to bring over bb every now n then.
 
bbmaking
I also looking around for caterer. Wonder if got any caterer that does nice decorations as well. Let me know if u come across any. Where will u be holding your bb first month? Me thought of doing it at the function room at my place
 
cherrios, oops, dun mean to scare you :p my friend's girl was probably around 3kg. You should ask ur gynae about the procedures, and make sure he gives u what u want!

reira, ya think the process in western countries are completely opposite of here leh...

pegsfur/irene, think all gynaes same leh... only show up when its the last 3 pushes to pull the bb out and sew up. We really pay them alot of money for those few minutes!
 
pink
usually decor done by different company unless using more expensive caterers who have so called 'premium' packages.

will be doing mine at my place although it's going to be cramped (expecting abt 50-80 excluding kids).

Still looking for catering options, will post more when i find interesting ones, other than the ones last discussed here..think the choice ones are YLS & Neo garden.
 
Bbmaking
Any recomendations for decorating companies? Thought of doing it at the club initally but that means only limit to their restuarants, which the food isn't very good
 
hi ladies!

sooo hot today!! trying to keep cool in aircon room. hee...

Mashy,
Like what yen2008 said, thanks for sharing! I was still thinking whether or not the nurse will bring the bb over to BF during the night :p Think should make it clear to them hor?
 
mashy : the urine cathetal is put on for how many days or hrs? By end of day 1, can the nurse take out for us? I thought the hosp will only discharge us if we can prove to them that we can urine as per normal..
 
Bbmaking
r u excited about your c section? I am feeling a little scared.

Bobo,
Just read your post. 19 days more for u. Jia you. Me got 10 days more
happy.gif
 
yen, i remember the nurse removed my cathetal a few hours after I delivered, then she gave me a jug and tell me I gotta pee inside. Later on, she still come to check the amount LOL
 
Mich: ok, gd ..by end of day 1, i shd expect they remove this urine thing.

celine: your boy is strong n brave
happy.gif


I now weigh a whopping 71.7kg, a gain of 16.7 kg from my pre-preg wt of 55kg, bb is 2.7kg.

Btw,I saw TMC pharmacy at level 1 near Delifrance corner...selling tummy binder, less than $50. Do we need to buy in advance? I duuno my massage lady or gynae got provide or not..
 
celine, glad to hear ur boy is putting on weight.

yen, yup yup they remove quite soon for me... cos I gotta walk around. I wouldn't want it around for too long!! So inconvenient.
 
mashy, so ur BM started to flow only on the 3rd day? or way before that? cos i heard for #2 usually it'll come easily.

this week i feel my breast plumping up, i think it has started to prepare BM. i'm at my 33 weeks now.

Hi all,

Im back from the Spring sale at Suntec.
The nursing tops on sale are the same stock as Tanjong Pagar sale, limited design. So this time round, I didnt get any nursing top.
Bought a maternity dress that could be worn after delivery as well for $30. And also a maternity spag top @ $10.
 
thks ladies...on the bathing tip
Btw what is a nipple shield?

Regg
U got everything ready? My maid still washing the bb clothes. And I have yet to figure out how to use the sterlizer & breast pump
 
pink
more nervious than scared, esp after watching that epi c sect video. actually that video i google to freak my hubby out, but then i ended up being freaked out by the 'gore'

decorating companies - i remb i saved some links - must go and find. will post later.
 
hi piggy,
managed to see your photos liao. lurve the shots...too bad maryann got no promo at the moment...so still contemplating...will discuss with my hubby. hee...coz i may close shop after this one.

hi yen,
i rem for my first delivery, they also removed the cathetal a few hrs after delivery....usu after that, can pee lar...but will be a bit scared yeah...hee

hi mashy,
glad to see u back!!! i hope my delivery will be as smooth as yours too.
happy.gif
yeah...eunice like to talk during sewing up hor...i rem when she was sewing me up the other time, she asked me when i wan the 2nd one....nearly fainted.
u mean now TMC use fitti and huggies on our NB ar...last time they were using pampers premium lei...they so stingy...diapers also wan to cut costs...we paid so much for hospital stay ...more ex than hotel rates.
 
yen

yah, don't paiseh. And don't let some nurses persuade u to give up the night feedings. Yes, our milk will not be here in the first few days, but there's colostrum and it helps the milk to come faster.

So happy, going up to 90ml at last pump.
happy.gif
Now just waiting for mei mei to catch up her drinking capacity. Perhaps this time round i'll have better success at breastfeeding.
 
dolliepollie,

Maternity Spag is just normal spag top for preg...
Those with clip for BF is nursing top, which has limited range/design during Spring sale at suntec.
 
tulips

no, they said she needs to be warmed up. So i told the nurses that once she's warmed up enough, bring her to me. So they brought her in abt 3hrs later.

This gal has so much black poo leh. She pooed like average 4-5 times a day and up till yesterday (4th day), she was still pooing black poo. My CL said must be she ate a lot when i was preg with her.
 
ino: ya,i can imagine quite scared to pee..maybe i will even forget how to pee after going thru the numb sensation from epidural.

mashy: ok, i will bear that in mind. Good that your milk is increasing. congrats!

My frenz said..if u taking the single-bed, actually can place the bb in your room whole day & nite. Wat do u all think of this?
or put the bb back at the nursery better, as and when , wan to feed then inform the nurse?
 
yen, if you taking single room can room in with bb. But i think you mite need to have some rest as well. And moreover we paid for the nurses services aly, so let them go take care la. Heheheh....
 
joyful
must wash now. baby come is suddenly de. like me i also say wait i off den wash suddenly my doctor say i need deliver tonight bcz my baby have problem lucky i can wait till next day afternoon.
 
yen, i share the same sentiments as tulips.

you should get more rest, let the nurses handle our newborns. except when there's visitor who wants to see our babies.

after discharged, no more such luxury loh. have to take care ourselves already!

yah, now i tbf now. not a single FM. I think u just need to be diligent for the 1st mth lor. Just get the nurse to bring bb to u round the clock. Do u have colostrum yet? Coz i know some pp took a while to have even colostrum. Make full use of the LC there to teach u how to latch properly. Correct latching is imp so that u don't get sore nipples and bb actually drinks well from the breasts. I learnt the latching from the tv prog they show at tmc. hehe.

I think my gal also helped alot leh. Coz she's the type she won't be on the breasts for nothing. If she's on, she'll drink. If not, she won't waste my time. And her suck is very strong type.

yen
i think put in nursery better. Coz they will change their diapers for u mah. U just tell them to bring bb to u every 3hrs. And coz you won't be so mobile then, so even if bb is in the room with u, u will prob have diff getting the bb on the bed with u for breastfeeding. I always get the nurse to deliver the bb to my breasts. :p
