*princess*

the 'kiap' thing quite safe...the tip is rounded de...usually the nose dirt will be hardened type or sticky type so easy to remove wif this bt muz be 'chop chop' la...do it swift and accurate...

if bb has gt runny mucous, can suck out with mouth somemore, alamak, this bb gt to be sick liao la, better see doctor then suck wif mouth, so unhygienic leh...our mouth so much germs...we may passed more germs to bb or bb may passed their germs to us, right or nt???....

BH - for me, it's the tightening of the entire tummy till can't really breathe. Your tummy will become very very hard. Whenever it comes, I won't miss it.

I've given birth to a baby girl on 13 Aug 2009 (natural delivery with epidural). My girl weighs 2.740kg and her length is 47cm at birth.

She really caught all of us by surprise. I've not done my handover work to my colleagues and now feel so bad. Its must be quite messy for them.
sad.gif


Ling,
Please help me to update the table. thanks.

Now it's time for me to go read the posts for the past week liao.
 
<font color="ff0099">taSha</font>
I wouldn't have even entertained the idea of sex if it wasn't his birthday lor. So huge and pregnant, and uncomfy all over! But cos already 3-4 wks no sex, I kinda pity him, birthday also cannot get laid, so chin chai lah. Then next morning water break...
lame.gif


Maybe your hubs concerned with the idea of dealing with 2 kids? My hubs don't ask for sex much during this preg cos I already have to take care of #1 while being hugely pregnant, he feel bad, so don't ask lor. Maybe your hubs also feel that way?

Yup. Strep B only pass on via vaginal delivery, so if you going elect c-sec, no need to test for it.
 
<font color="ff0099">Angeline</font>

Shelled,the green grinning face coupled with your bold text seems very "evil" leh..........I can imagine the "Stephen Chow" kind of evil laughter.
 
Shelled
Ya lor. I secretly went to pop. I was also surprised by her. She's early by 3wks+.

Yup, sex can actually helps. But how true i also dont know leh. But i think most hb wont want to have sex with such big belly already?? :)

I just don't wish to hear them niam niam niam.. very irritating de lor... urgh! I just avoid them is the best! Hahaha... i keep telling myself : HACK CARE them. Do what i know is right! Overall, i am the ONE giving birth, i am the MOTHER of my baby, i am the one doing everything. So they..... move away! hahahaaa.. so bad right!

Actually i have been eating quite a lot lately i dont know why... eating much much more... making me scare if i put on weight not.. -.-

My nephew who is turning 3 soon loves to drink milk.. every 2-3 hours ask for milk.. and he does take solid too lor.....

How come your feet will be swollen???

<font color="aa00aa">tasha</font>

keke.. u're eating more is good ma.. nw bb needs to put on weight to gain fats.. so i guess weight sure go up lo.. but juz make sure u dun bao yin bao shi.. haha.. v easy to get heartburn..

as for ur PIL, ya lo.. juz ignore them la..


RE: breastfeeding
Btw, shld we always feed bb on demand? hw old shld bb be b4 instroducing scheduled feeding?
i keep getting confused when to introduce water into their diet..
 
*COCOUNT*
Im also confused about the coconut, Actually which is the right 1? I read some said not the 1 that can easily buy from supermarket? With a slight opening on top?
 
Cho,

Wong B.B said not to feed on demand... You will regret... When the BB feed and feed your nipples will be very sore and "rot" Best to listen to the experts ya?

Sarah,

My aunt told me, the white flesh if soft means young. Hard means old. So... it's just a coconut opened or not... Drink and be merry! ^-^
 
re:coconut
i tot so long as coconut will do? thai vs local coconut got diff ah?

Pamelia: ya, i recalled mrs wong said tat too.. but like hw? so in between feeds muz be 2-3hrs? then if bb cries n not soiled hw? i tot of on demand feeding for 1st mth only.. like v poor thing leh.. alamak
 
Congrats angeline!

i wonder who is next???

just went for appt this noon. baby head is nice n low but gynae didnt say whether engaged not leh. i also didnt bother to ask lah, when its time it will be engaged. i still hoping to pop at 39 wk plus! baby weighs a nice 3.4kg now.
 
Cho,

If I recall correctly, She said try to find an alternative way to coax the baby. Because if you feed on demand... The one that suffers will be us. =)
 
Cho,

Baby like massage, So maybe we try massage? Unless you intend to bottle feed then you feed on demand. If you intend to BF, I really would advise not to. ( Picture of the sore and covered in pus nipple images comes to mind ) EEE!!!
 
Angeline,

Congrats on the arrival of your princess~!~

Shelled,

Me, I'm getting Kanchiong when will I pop... Because I had a very slight crampy feeling just now and I don't know what to think of it as. >.<
 
Cho,

If I remember correctly ( again ) Milk supply will be every 2-3 hrs. And for Newborn they will feed on demand. Usually 8 to 12 times in a 24 hour period for the first two to four weeks. After that how often I don't remember her mentioning. ( Or I simply forgot ) XD
 
*COCONUT*
buy those local ones wif the husk still green...thai one are those husk taken out totally and left wif hard round shell...very small and round...taste very sweet bt wif basically lil or no flesh...

the green ones of course are younger coconuts wif flesh tat is soft and can be scrape using spoon.

if the flesh is hard de, those are brown old coconuts usually wif the flesh grinded as use in kuehs and its juice use for cooking laksa, curry....

*cho* *princess*
pi sai is beri normal de mah...bb will pang sai of course will haf pi sai oso la *LOLs*
look up the nostrils then can see liao lor...
usually u'll know they has gt pi sai when they seems hungry for milk and when u feed them, they will suckle for a while and then struggle nt wanting the milk like tat...i figured coz when their nose are full of dirt, they can still breathe thru their mouth. Bt when they drink milk, cannot use mouth to breathe anymore, so very xin ku...

my eldest gal behaved tat way and i was totally clueless wat she wants and beri kancheong as a first time mother...cry for milk bt give milk, suck a while then cry again...after figuring out myself after a while...SOLVED!

*Angeline*
CONGRATS!!

*shelled*
so sex can induced labour don't know is for real or nt?? it works on ur K bt nt J, so.....erhmm...

anyway, i used to take TCM (traditional chinese medicine)...my sinseh forbid me to take barley...coz say will trigger contractions so those scared/worried of miscarriages or having premature labour shld try to avoid it.

so those who wants to induce labour can try barley and SEX lor...Heehee :p
 
shelled: thanks huh for reminding me to be gan jiong. Just went to find my Principal this afternoon, she say have to take 16weeks of Maternity Leave @ one shot. We calculate, which means IF i start taking on 21st sept, 16weeks @ one go will mean that i return to work on the 2nd week of 2010. I was like omg, eat into my holidays
sad.gif
I shared with her my intention of taking first 8 weeks then stagger my remaining 8 weeks. She say if break leave, it will mean i have 20weeks of maternity leave (4weeks of dec hols). Then i sad. Because my main concern is that no one can take care of bb when i return to work. empress already "declare" hands-off. No maid also. Even if put in infant care, no one can pick her up @ 7pm. Plus, i will be in the pm session. Headache.

I approached my AM, ask how and explained my situation, then she mention her #3 is being taken care by bbsitter who lives nearby our school. Then the bbsitter took care of her #1 &amp; 2 before, about 9years liao, some more pro-bf de. Wah then i machiam see a glimpse of light, ask her help me ask the bbsitter if she willing to take in another baby... Hope i get good news lo, before i propose another "plan" to P.
 
diarrhoea> i still diarrhoea today. since sun. juz now went to gynae to pick up some charcoal pills again -_-"

Hi

Finally got time to post since morning. Was so busy thw whole day. Suddenly company change of management ...haiz...why at this time..

tasha,
ask you, what type of c-sec u opt for cos wondering if we choose c-sec epidural, will we feel the pain of cutting us up anot.
 
Girly,
So which type of coconut should we take? Or both also can?

Pamelia,
U own salon yourself? Last time have u ever work in Jantzen?

Finally i can my manager approved my 12 wks maternity leaves but still thinking to resign before i lagi there. Anyone know can I tender during my maternity leave? Do i need to go back work for 1 month?
 
<font color="ff0099">cho</font>
Dilation part I dunno if sex helps. Mine was stuck @ 4cm. Hurhur.


<font color="ff0099">RE: BF bb on demand / giving water</font>

Should feed bb on demand right from the start so you can understand how good their appetite is and how long and how much they need to be decently full. Then once you understand how much bb needs to stay happy, then you can adjust their schedule accordingly.

I only understood K's feeding habit this morning lor. He must empty 1 breast and still have about half of the other breast then he will be happy until the next feed abt 3hrs later. But he is so mighty sleepy! I have to purposely burp him to wake him up whenever he fall asleep at the breast, then after burp he'll be a bit more awake to BF more, then keep repeating the suckle/fall asleep/burp cycle until he finally won't take the breast anymore. A feed takes almost 30 mins cos I have to waste time to wake him up to finish the feed. Last few days he would suckle for 5 mins, then fall asleep. I also didn't know burping him will wake him up. Then he BF 5mins every hour!! Wah lau, how I sleep lor?!


Water can be started at any time. In fact, if TBF bb is fussy in the hosp nursery, the nurse will try to spoonfeed a bit of water to pacify them if they just BF. I know this cos 1st night when I warded, K was fussy and kept crying, but I just BF 30 mins ago, so nurse brought him to me and ask if I want them to just give water to pacify bb. Or if I want to cuddle him to see if he will calm down.


<font color="ff0099">princessxiaomei</font>
J says breastmilk is for BABIES hor. He not keen lor. Just sit beside me and kaypoh when i BF K. He only drink milk when he's lazy to eat or not feeling well or teething. Otherwise he always quite happy to skip milk, he only like it before bedtime. Even so, he also likes to have option of either FM or fresh milk. Otherwise he feel very sian.


<font color="ff0099">girlygirly</font>
Oh ya lor. Didn't work on J at all! Maybe cos birthday sex more powerful than non-birthday sex?

<font color="ff0099">Moojenn</font>
Can feel pulling/tugging sensation when they ripping your flesh apart lor. I think a good way to explain would be like if you poke/pinch yourself when you're numb. Can feel, but not much sensation.
 
Any mummy to be thinking to get doula for yourself? As I am taking up doula course and the requirement is to work on 2 cases. Therefore I would like to try my luck to see any mummy willing to help me out...
