Hi ladies...I finally squeezed out a bit of time to post something here. How's everyone?
I shall go back and read the archives when I have a bit more time Congrats to all those who have popped!
Just a quick update - my poor baby has been admitted to hospital this afternoon cos her jaundice level is too high
I am so sad!!! Hopefully she will be discharged in 2 days' time. I am pumping my BM for her when she comes home...during her stay in the hospital, she will be fed formula. Sigh...I really hope she didn't kerna breastmilk jaundice.

hi all.. sorry i had to miss the hi tea today. my appt was at 2.30pm (i tot it's at 2pm) and gynae was late. Did a VE, i'm 3cm dilated and cervix is soft liao. She just warned me anytime soon. I wish someone did a study to correlate 3cm dilation/cervix soft to the number of days to deliver but alas, no such thing.. since it's all about nature. Wanted to leave at 3plus but it's raining cats and dogs.. then waited for awhile. I went to taka to have honey/lemon tea and a thick toast of peanut butter alone Walked a bit then i realised my leg were damn sore. Then i left taka at about 4plus to pick my boy up from school. Came home n started packing my hosp bags (for real!). Now, it's all about the waiting game now....
congrats again to all the moms that had popped and welcome to motherhood for the 1st timers and enjoy!

ashley, no need to worry about it. During my #1, my pd told me that mine was due to my BM. But she said it's ok to give BM. Mine din go for phototheraphy. meanwhile, i insisted of still giving BM and refused to give FM even though my mum and my CL were naggin at me (coz i told them the option of giving FM and let the jaundice level drop drastically; else you can always alternate FM and BM). It took about 3-4wks to go away. even during the fullmonth celebration he's still a bit yellow looking.. i went to polyclinic countless of time to check. I also restricted gingery and herbs for the 1st 2wks (but kena nagged big time by my mum, that oso stressed me out). I latched him on every 1.5-2hrly during the weeks when he's on the high side.
Thanks jeelomeelo. My mum nags me no end too regarding my decision to TBF. She keep telling me to supplement with FM.....and she also nagged about the restriction to ginger and herbs stuff. Sigh!
I hope my girl will be ok soon. Feels very heartborken to see her naked, 'blinded' by the eye mask and lying under the blue light. She hates to go naked and would scream and cry and kick.
My BM is not a lot too....just now I only managed to pumped 40ml in 30 minutes....very pathetic amount but I am already very happy.....hope to build up my milk bank for my baby soon.

ashley, it's ok to just pump 40ml nia. that's a lot actually, for a one wk old baby!!! say if you solely latch on, your body should be producing what your baby needs. When bb suckle, she'll send a msg to your body to produce x amount. think this way; supply = demand. You don't expect your baby to drink a whole lot since the stomach is no bigger than a fist. So now that you are expressing, means you are producing more if you are pumping every 30min interval for 10min each.
shihui,ashley - my gal's jaundice level is 242 today and PD said it is acceptable. No need to rent the light and do the phototherapy at home. He said just to sunbathe her for awhile and he did not even mentioned that we must do another round of blood test. I checked with another PD and he said 242 is ok and suggest we do another round of blood test on fri or sat.
I hv just expressed out 150ml of milk and stored in the freezer. I am giving her formula for the next 2 days and hopefully the jaundice will clear abit. Dont worry and we jia you together ok.
Sporty - Could you please help me to update the table, Isabella's height is 52cm at birth... thanks!

Ashley, ur girl will be well sooner than u know. I was pretty worried abt my girl's jaundice initially too but I insisted on TBF so no choice gotta cut down the ginger and herbs n no wine so my tummy now still looks abit big. Hiakz. Let's all jiayou tgt! =)
Honestly now that bb is out, I really miss my pregnancy ALOT!

Thanks ladies for your consolation.
I just pumped and this time only 40ml for one freaking hour...and my breasts are still engorged but I stopped for a break...think my nipples cannot take it already.
Breastfeeding is such a challenge....I really adnire and envy those who can produce lotsa BM and BF for a long time.

Paiseh, never contribute much here. Can I ask if the bh contractions are supposed to feel like cramps? I never felt any for no.1 until I was admitted for induce & put on ctg then the nurse told me i was having bh contractions.
But this time for no.2 seems to be getting 'cramps' on & off & thought sometime like diarrhoea?
went for my check up last sat & gynae said my amniotic fluid is a little low so I'm going back again this wed. Think this time gonna be induced again coz edd is supposed to be 15 nov. Gynae actually want to see me on mon but told him hubby still overseas. So he sent me for ctg. Gd thing bb very cooperative & the report was gd. And managed to get hubby to change flight to come home tomorrow coz I think I may need to be admitted right after the wed check up.

saintbaby, hope you have a smooth delivery. Jia You! =)
shannonbaby, what I did was to use a sterilized cloth, dip in boiled water and wrap around my cleaned index finger to go in and wipe the tongue. Be careful not to go in too deep or else he may vomit out the milk. You can also use gauze swabs purchase from Guardian. About $3+ for 100 pcs. Hygienic and convenient, just clean and throw.

Hi ladies,
can i verify that if one has engorgement (whole breast like rock), shd apply cold pack (ie cold cabbage) for 2 hrs then massage, then pump/latch.
Then if blocked ducts (only 1 part hard), use hot pack (ie hot towel or glass bottle warm w towel), roll over breast, then massage, then pump/latch?
Tanly,
tks for loading the pic. Will add u over the wkend.

Can I ask if anyone experience "cracked dry areola" at the base, not at the nipple, but nearer to the white skin area.
I suddenly got them...also got some bumps at the same area (like pimples but not painful), which I thk cracked, causing the dry flaky black skin.
applying the Purelan medela now.

mousey_mummy, thanks! will go n get it n clean for him. His tongue is covered with thick layer of milk. so scary.
rue, for me, I used hot towel even if there is engrogement. I dont dare to use cold pack, scared will reduce milk supply.

funne his clinic starts in the evening today.
plus i read i could be having false labour, cos the pain is centered at lower ab, but real thing usually is from lower to whole ab.
somemore if i complain to doc again he'll most likely ask me go induce now instead of waiting till tonight and i can't go now cos no one to pick my son from childcare and my mil can only make it after 8pm...
haiz...i super sian now.
