Hi everyone

Sorry I MIA for w hile coz things have been "happening".

1) Had engorgement on Day 3. So painful &amp; I couldn't really feed Babylet coz the stupid milk was stuck in the breasts! Thank God for Lilian &amp; Mrs Wong at Parentcraft who helped me to supplement my poor starving boy then did the most painful massage for me on the breasts ever!

2) Then there was adjustment to life with Babylet. Dinno how to catch BF timing, changing diapers, lack of sleep, blah blah blah was really taxing.

3) Then babylet's jaundice got so bad that he got admited yest. We decided to stay woth him so that I can continue to BF while he is being suned. See him like that really heart pain. So small, blindfolded, sunned naked, crying &amp; struggling,, heart almost broke. Haven't seen him since yest pm coz they put him in the jursery where it's warmer. Darned paiseh lor, coz I was crying in the room &amp; the nurse manager had to comfort me. Sigh...
 
About hosp charges..

Sorry we have been very busy lately b/c I popped so suddenly. Poor Hubs had to keep gog back to our place to fetch BB clothes, toiletries, my clothes, documents, blah blah blah.. to MIL's hse. Thank God for him, if not I wud have broken down.

I shall resolve not to complain too much abt him, b/c he really has been my pillar of strength.

Anyway.. cut long story short..

I asked Hubs yest abt my bill coz I din see. He handled everything. But he said in total, my delivery, gynae fees, stay, BB doc, misc costs etc etc.. came up to abt $4.7k. He paid abt half with medisave &amp; the other half with cash.
 
*flower*
my eldest (P3) no nid go sch 2day coz PLSE oral for those P6 so went out for early lunch...went jalan kayu for pratas and tea C kosong...cannot eat pratas de bt nvm la, hub n kids wanna eat so i eat oso lor. otherwise nothing to eat liao.

lion's mane refers to my unruly hair la *LOLs*
very luan leh...can't wait to do rebonding...the 1st thing after confinement is to do tat, haha..

*ling*
ya muz treasure 二人世界 nw... think muz wait till my hub and i lao kok kok then can enjoy 二人世界 again...bt by tat time, nt lomantic anymore la, hahaha...

my hub used to be in the outdoor sales line, muz drives around...sometimes i work till very sianz esp near due date, will purposely take half day juz to be geng pi chong... when he meets clients, collecting cheques or passing samples to clients, i will juz wait for him in the car. like tat oso happy...when he has done with his things then we'll go for dinner, simply enjoy seaside breeze or drives around the island...
 
bbq

I suppose so. But I think I very throw face in TMC liao. I tell Hubs I can't show my face here agin.

I cried when the PD's clinic called me abt the news. I cried again with Hubs when I tot of Babylet staying alone in hosp. Then I cried when at first they put him in the room with me, but he was crying. I cried again when doc said he might be too cold &amp; kena hypothermia if he continues to stay in my room &amp; that he needs to stay in the nursery but there were probs finding him room inside &amp; we were so worried. Again when the nurse manager from the 3rd flr came up &amp; said they have a free room on the 3rd flr where they can put Babylet in the nursery &amp; I can stay there. (I was originally placed on 5th flr but the nursery refused toi take him). Then I teared a few times when I tot of him in the sun bed. Hiaz...

ya my eldest had jaundice too and had to stay additional 2 days after i haf discharged. seeing her tiny body without clothing and with juz diaper and being blindfolded makes my heart ache too...was crying in my gynae's clinic on the day of my discharge (settling some payments and collecting medication), my gynae and the nurses there tot what terrible thing had happened since i cried so uncontrollably...later when told them coz bb can't go home coz of jaundice and needed phototherapy, they heaved a sigh of relief and console me tat this is common...no nid to worry so much...bb will be able to go home v soon...

so u don't worry or think too much ok ya
happy.gif
ur precious will be out in another day or two...
 
girly

Thanks. Theoretically I know that it's a commmon thing, not serious, this is better for him b/c he really needs to treatment etc etc.. but 'the heart feels differently' lor. I'm sure u know what I mean right?

Hiaz I was never such a crybaby until I gave birth. I also threw face in front of my MIL on Mon nite coz I was so worried abt Babylet not having milk due to my engorgement.
 
*jul*
talk abt crying, think no one can cry more than me *LOLs*

I watch tv, dramas can cry oso de...hub always say: arh? like tat oso can make u cry arh?

and my gals will say: arh?? mommy cry again arh?? then will go take tissues for me...

so if say throw face, i throw face at countless occassion and location liao...imagine failed driving test oso cry leh..WAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
 
*Jul*
yeah...i understand....all mommies the same...

tats y after tat i so kiasi, may be juz myth bt then whatever food pple said tat will cause jaundice, i will avoid. Ignorant some may think bt no harm listening...

so the rest of my kids ok...juz nid to sun them under early morning and evening sun...me and hub will bring bb downstairs to sun for a few days as advise by the PD...My kids' PD is Dr Ang Ai Tin fr TMC.
 
girly

I think the BB tends to get jaundice if the blood group is diff from the mother's. Baylet's blood group follows Hubs', so maybe that's a factor?

Ok I think I'll go offline liao. The nurse will bring Babylet to me for direct latching at 3pm. My nipples are so sore from the stupid pumping. Dunno if I can feed him!
 
Jul
It's natual that u feel heart pain for your bb, no need to be pai sey and think u very "throw face". I'm sure bb's jaundice and your engorgement will all go away, just give yourself and bb some time. Jia You!
 
Thank you all for the wishes.

Ling, my princess's name not decided yet.

I'm feeling ok now. Had a hard time during the 1st few days as my milk supply is not in yet and my princess is not getting enough milk. She wakes up every 1hr to be fed. All of us had not enough sleep. That few days was so tiring.

Now my milk supply is slowing coming in but it seems like the left side got lesser milk leh when i pump. Read that pumping after each feed for about 10-15 mins can increase the supply. Am wondering how to solve this problem. Had been messaging the left breast but like no use leh. Anyone can advise?

I'll try to post my birth story soon.

Understand ur feelings... my #1 also got to go under phototherapy and i stay additional 2 days juz to be with her.. and that the first time i cried when see her under the treatment and it really heartache..

U can adjust the pump to a lower pull and shorter pump time so ur nipples would not be that bad... can get the nipple protector

''''' am in foul mood coz the pains is really killing me till these few days really had difficulty to walk even at home juz to toliet also got problems coz tooo sng and sore and pains.. Yet keep having calls from office irrating ..
I knew it the replacement lady cannot cope with the work load already got additional helper still call me to ask me things where i already run thru times with her...... and the pains are eating up my temper that i really dun have the patience to go thru things again and again...
I also dunno i juz do things base on my own judgement and kena scolding also now i teaches things still keep asking me really fed up... do until wanna cry and tell me to go back... wah kao when i'm all alone without assistance i also like that wor... so fed up till i told her if u can't take it quit lor.... Why bother!!!!
Juz wanna scream at her and tell her stop bothering me!!

AND I STILL HAVEN'T POP OUT YET!!!!!

sorrie for disrupting!!!
 
Shelled,

They've recently changed the swaddling blanket? My HBs SIL delivered in January. I wonder if it's the same one. Guess I'll pack another one in my bag just in case.


Girly,

If we stain the bed, The nurse won't clean up?

Anyone from TMC know if they will put anything under us to prevent staining the bed? If they do provide then I don't have to bring the spare changing mat. I can keep for BB use. =)

I'm feeling really lethargic lately... It gets harder and and harder for me to get out of bed everyday. Just last night, I think BB gave my bladder 1 big good kick, and my pee leaked >.< Not to mention I got "kicked" awake when that happened.
 
Jul, dun worry. Ur bb will be fine.

My princess also has jaundice although she has the same blood group as mine. I also felt so hard pain when my princess kena pricked twice when we went to see PD on wed for my princess's 1st checkup.

This is what happen:-

The nurse at the clinic said my princess is having jaundice and needs to do a blood test to determine if its serious. So we went to the lab to do the test. My princess got prick for the 1st time but she's strong. She had a few cries and stopped. After that we went back to clinic waiting to see the PD.

When the results came back, PD said that the result is not accurate as its too low so he request the lab to re-test. Then the nurse came to tell us that my princess's blood collected earlier is not sufficient to run the test again. So she to be pricked again. My hub and I was so angry but no choice lor. When i see my princess kena pricked again I was so upset that I started tearing. As I'm typing this, I'm tearing again as i recall the incident.

But am glad that she does not have to be admitted. Just need to sunbathe her every morning and hope it goes off by next week.
 
Jul~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!

Don't cry... Will ruin the image of your beaming smiley face whenever I see you!

Kk, if you really wanna cry... Just let it out.. I know it aches seeing your precious going through all that... * Hugs * If I were you I think I'd flood the nursery with my tears. XD

Angeline,

Thank you for the information! I will take the mat out of my bag then.. It is very bulky >.<

Did you all wear any pants at all during your stay?
And will our tummies be really flabby?

i know how it feels. 4 out of 5 of my babies all gotta stay behind for phototherapy. i always end up discharging alone empty handed with no baby. v sad one. only when i had my gal cos i changed pd and my new pd said no need phototherapy, also becos she doesnt believe in separating newborns with their moms. just asked me sun her lor. i was told abt the blood grp incompatibility. all my babies blood grp follow my hub so i dunno if thats the reason why? im O+ and hub is A+.

dun worry its just temporary ok. much as we r heart pain seeing them, just think of it for their own good ok. everything needs adjustment. our hormones, ur boobs, milk supply, and every single routine with a new baby.

Jia you, u will make it!
