CORD BLOOD FOR SCBB

Eh, anyone knows the procedure for donation to SCBB? I also want to donate...do we just go and tell our gynae we want to donate and he will settle everything else for us?
 
Michelle
I believe there's only 1 model for the ear thermometer exact temp. mine is also irt4520, also bought from san4. total cost should be slightly less than $70.
And hor for the braun thermometer, you MUST use the disposable lens cover. if not it won't work.
 
shelled

Jul
Wah so good, I also wanna do BW before giving birth. Finally you get to have it done.

Shelled
Wow that's great 6hrs of sleep!
You know what, last night I was suffering at 10+pm - had my gastric again for 3rd time in 3 weeks. When I have gastric, will have diarrhea so end up in & out of toilet cos of diarrhea. Gastric so painful. Got BH contractions, then babies uncomfy cos they're constricted hence both move alot. Super suffering. Lucky I didn't vomit yesterday.

But due to all that fatigue from the diarrhea and gastric, I managed to get a gooood night's sleep after sooo many nights! Cos prev nights once wake up at 3+ or 4+am to pee for 3rd time, cannot sleep liao.
 
Michelle
Ya we spree all no warranty... cos buy from US website. But should be reliable la. Anyway mine I haven't used yet, still nice in its package. The packaging quite big you know. If $70 got regd mail, I'd say it's a good deal.

Kris
Ya can share where you buy your Braun lens filter refills? Cos the therm only comes with 21 refills.
 
whitey> haha. ya la, half price sure no warranty. lol. u nv open n try urs? i will open n try mine =p

bleeding> erms. i go toilet one more time see still got bleeding or not. cos everyone is stressing me. grrrss...
 
Michelle & Whitey
I'm still using the refills that come with the thermometer. Have not bought any yet coz only baby using mah..so err..always use back the same lens cover..heh
but i know the refills can easily be bought at any of the shops also selling the thermometer..cannot rem how much thou
 
kris> keke. but de refills pretty costly fr singapore. ya. juz reuse lo. haha.

keke. bb nv kick me i worried. i go disturb him n now he's kicking again. so cute =p
 
Milkyway, Michelle,
MP is not counted as one of the reasons leh. The bleeding must be like real bleeding, red blood like your period. Passing of the MP is okay one. No need to go to the hospital!
 
Michelle
I think the Taka fair would be cutting it too close
sad.gif
. My gyne says if my waterbag breaks I have 30 mins to get my butt to Mt A, no last shower for me.
sad.gif
But so far she has shown no interest in being early

Why are u getting gastric so often? Not eating? Sounds very xin ku to have gastric and diarrhea at the same time. Take care!

Shelled
You still here ar? Haha But nvm, hang in there, your cervix may need more time to "loosen up".

Jul
Hats off to you, I'm at 34 week, decided not to get waxed liao cos I dun know if I can take the pain or not.
 
<font color="ff0099">itsy</font>
Thanks for the encouragement. I also feel my cervix just needs more time. Maybe it's just in "nua" mode like me. hahahaha.
 
>MICHELLE
Thanks for the contact. Will send her a sms later.

Have a good weekend mummies!

Hope you'll get to see K soon...

Forgot to ask you about the babymallonline spree...have the shipment arrived? Oh and nipple cream too :p
 
Hi to all mommies,
Just wondering why bring hair dryer to hospital? tot not suppose to bath? only if we buy the herbal bath?

Princessxiaomei,
its good to drink chicken essence. was advised by my grandma too. to give energy and 'jin shen'.
I hate chicken essence also, dont like the smell since young but my grandma teach to add in with milo and the smell really gone lor. those mommies out there dont take chicken essence can try that.

Sarah

I cant imagine not having a shower and washing my hair, to me being clean and near my baby is way more important. But at the same time I dont want to walk around with wet hair.
 
Marie,
Understand that. Definately i cant do that bcos my in law and even my own mother and grandma sure will scold me so i better not until i go back home and bath with the herbal bath.
 
Paige,
For donation of cord blood, juz give them a call. They will guide u. Their tell number is 63945011.

Marie,
Can bath b4 u go to hospital when water bag burst. I waited for almost 1 hr to do my own stuffs, like waiting for gynae to call back n bath when I had my 1st BB. After tat then took cab to hospital. No nid to really hurry hurry.

Btw, no nid bring hair dryer for TMC(recently been hospitalised there for 2 nites). Hair dryers r provided. But for Mt A, I dun tink they provide(recently hospitalised there for a nite, they nvr offer)...Can't really remember for giving birth(at mt A) cos had been almost 2 yrs ago liao....
 
when doing confinement, i always cook the pig liver / kidney with ginger, sesame oil and wine and pour the chicken essence. taste yummy! cos im one who hates to drink chicken essence on its own too!
 
sarah
can can but not too much, esp if ur baby has jaundice. this is the only way i caN finish all the bottles of chicken essence given by frds and it taste really different when u cook it! can drink like soup also!
 
itsy
Thanks, Itsy. I also dunno why keep getting gastric. I eat all 3 meals, never skip. Maybe nowadays my stomach abit sensitive. Now phobia, every meal all I pray please don’t let me get gastric by eating or drinking this, really very xin ku
sad.gif


Sarah
Thanks for the tip on drinking chicken essence with milo! Maybe I shall try that one of these days.

Oh btw Sarah, I think it must’ve been another mummy who was asking for Ida’s contact. But thanks anyway =)
 
Mamato6Js
I intended to drink ginger water after giving birth... but will take note of what you say, if baby has jaundice then can't take too much.
 
itsy
u mean in the deivery ward? i dun think u can eat anything leh! at most u can only ask for sips of water if u hvg v long labour. thats y pls eat first b4 admit hosp!!
 
I was also told to drink chicken essence before delivery. But since fasting is required for csection, I guess I won't need to drink it then.

Shelled, everyone is so kan cheong for you. Being born on his daddy's bday is good too.

Whitey, have you decided on natural or csection birth?

Those experienced mummies, may I know which are the Dos and Dont's during confinement? eg, no bathing, no washing of hair etc....
 
BBQ
for me, there r no hard n fast rules to confinement leh. the DOs are, do have lots of rest, do eat well, do make urself as comfortable as u can esp if u need to bath etccc..., do not listen to old wives tales that cause u to have post natal depression! haha...
 
Mamato6Js

I was told drink ginger water (can mix with lemongrass also) is good to expel wind from our system. But need to hunt for recipe to brew ginger water with lemongrass first =P

Hey I also love love ginger tea (tarik)! Now hubby ban me from drinking tea right, I go for ginger milk (susu halia). Yummy, must buy from those teh tarik shops then nice, the taste so wholesome!
 
bbq

After pondering, psyching myself and thinking ... I think c-sec is the way to go.

But now you know what, I need to pray hard that labour don't set in until I get a scheduled c-sec date next week!

How about you, confirm c-sec? Your twins are also not in position is it?
 
So far I searched and found this:

<u>Confinement Recipe</u>
Ginger and red date tea
Serves 2

What you need:

50g fresh ginger, peeled and bruised
12 red dates
750ml water
30g-40g rock sugar, or to taste

What you do:

To make the drink, put all the ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve hot or warm.
 
whitey
oops, sorry... the milk tea im refering is mother's milk tea it help us strengthen uterine muscles for labor, and slow bleeding after birth. Raspberry also increases breast milk. :p
Wow i like lemongrass tea. how to prepare? cut in small pieces?

If baby got jaundice and we're not allow to intake too much ginger then i have another option. Make dried longan with red dates tea.'pu xue'.

BBQ
yes you're right. it will expel the wind in our body.
 
ameda pump> yeah. i got it at 338 from momsRus liaos. thanx to the mum who pm-ed me dis offer :p

marie> cos it's csec?

paige> no prob
happy.gif


mama to 6js> omg. pork liver n kidney. i will faint if my CL cooks tat -_-

whitey> can drink milk tea la. once in awhile is ok. de caffein in tea is not as bad as coffee =p

i most jialat liaos la. anything to do with ginger i buay tahan one. think my confinement period is de worse period in my life liaos
 
i'm in a shopping mood now!! just spent abt $150 in the last hour ordering things online!! got myself two boxes of lasinoh milkbags, a pair of shoes for #1 and lots of clothes from a pumpkin patch spree. i think i can't exercise self control since i'm haven't surfed the net in such a peaceful and quiet state for a while, hahaa ... husband is sound asleep already and my boy is taking a weekend holiday at my mum's place, wohoo! i want to explore the BP section now to see if there's anything interesting to buy there. anyone have contacts for cute socks/booties, please let me know. realized i haven't bought any newborn - 6 months size socks for #2 yet.
 
Jul,Mama6js,
Today I experience a lot of mucus but white in color, its drippings is it some kind of show?

Mama6js,
My bb was also no movement when I take strong coughing syrup I oso get worried.. lucky he moving realy painful now. ☺

Jul,
What is BW?

Milkyway,
Congrats on your new home ☺

Princesssxiomei
I actauly went vivo spring but the skinny SA like very pushy, and I din manage to spot e 50% discount, cuz I feel so irritated by pushy SA.

Mama6js,
Your pig liver sound YUMMY.. btw any other animal organs can replace pig liver ah?

Bbq98,
I think NO WASHIN hair is more important during confinement at least tat for me la, the website which selling warming shampoo too emphasis a lot on limit in washing hair sound like very crucial
 


<font color="ff0099">flower4</font>
Hmmm... I think mucus supposed to be clear leh. Not white? When you say white, do you mean like the color of milk?

BW = Brazilian wax
