Be patient, cos like you, bb is also learning to latch onto your breast. But I know it's hard to be patient when all our hormones are still raging.
Milk comes in on the 3rd or 4th day, so before that, colostrum is about the only thing from your breast that will keep your baby satisfied. If you are worried that your baby is not getting enough, then ask the nursery nurses to spoonfeed your baby with glucose.
You may be worried that baby is not taking enough now, as the weeks roll by, you will start complaining about sore nipples. Cos baby will have growth spurts on day 3, week 2, week 3, 3rd month and 6th month.
You will be pumping and latching like nobody's business.

Luckyone, hubby actually suggested I start my ml this monday but then i feel is a waste n it means i need to report work early. so only took 1 day rest b4 my delivery day.
Agginness: if u cant take the pain pls take the pain killer it wil relieve the pain. Try to walk slowly and lie on the bed to minimise the pain. And try to avoid chicken in the 1st 10-14 days.

Jerbunny,yeah its true lor.My massage lady say some c sect woman did their massage after 1 week.some even do after 5 days.She say its ok to do early cos they bind at the side,not at the wound area.
mrs teo, wat time u be hving ur c sect? mine will be in the mrg ard 9plus. Ur gynae is? Mine is Dr Joycelyn Wong.
baby_t: ya currently at 36 weeks. It's indeed abit early to c sect at 37 weeks. But cos i told her of my concern of little fetal movements and since bb also not abosrbing well already inside, she agree it's better to tk him out. BB currently 2.9KG. Reckon ard 3kg next week when I c sect so she is fine with it.

Phy,
bleeding?!?! pls call your gynae to confirm it's nothing serious or sign of labor.
Jerbunny,
Don't worry, slimming down takes time also. Loose skin ard the tummy is normal.
I didn't fit into my pre-preg clothes till 6 mths later.
Still managed to lose all the weight to pre-preg eventually but the body shape change a bit.
My chest expanded (not NN), there is this little black dress I had to throw out because even after 3 years I still could not get it to zip up.

rantingbb,
NP, when I join you in pandora land I don't think I can even put a coherent sentence together anymore. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Agginess,
Hang in there mummy...
Just keep latching bb, to learn the correct latch technique. When bb is satisfied, they will not fuss and unlatch by themselves.
No point squeezing, colostrum very hard to see and measure and milk will pour in within the 3rd or 4th day.
luckyone,
has AR given birth already?!

Huggy: OMG!! Your boy is so alert!!! So adorable!! Doesn't look like a new born lor! Congrats!! =)
Didn't manage to be a May mummies even I have tried [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
My birth story:
4.30pm: Gynae checkup at week 38. Scan showed bb 3.4kg and 2cm dilated. Did VE check which was more intense as compared to week 37 and he told me could be anytime this week. Ask to consider induce or wait for natural birth. CTG shows some contraction but I just went back home without waiting for Dr Ang's checking on the CTG report because I need to get ready as already agreed to be induced on the same night.
5.30pm: Started to feel pain from the lower back to the thigh but still can walk home from the clinic.
6.30pm: Dr Ang called to go back to the clinic for him to do VE check again as the CTG shows I should have started the contraction.
7.30pm: hook on CTG again, and shows that I should have intense labour contraction. At this point of time, the pain still on the lower back and all the way to my right thigh. Couldn't walk when the pain hit me.
Dr Ang ask to be admitted at 9pm.
9.30pm: Admitted to TMC. Went straight to the labour ward. Already can't walk.
10.10pm: Gynae burst the water bag. (Damn painful!!!) Only 3cm dilated. Real contraction started after that. Ask for epidural.
11pm: Epidural
12am: 4cm dilated
12.15am: Felt a sense of pooing (labour contraction has strated). Dr Ang still busy delivering another baby next door. Nurse did VE check and 8cm dilated.
12.45am: Feeling is much stronger, Dr And finally here. Start to push but baby is still very high.
Dr Ang used vacuum to assit while I continue to push many times and started to lose energy.
1.01am: BB was born with ambilical cord on his neck, which is the reason why he was still high all the time. He was being held up by his cord.
Luckily I never insisted to wait for another week. Luckily bb decided to arrive and give me contraction pain. Luckily Dr Ang use the vaccum and his hand to pull bb out.
BB's fingers and toes looked purpleish when he was born. Dr Ang said it could be turn out to be a very dangerous delivery and disaster. Thank god everything turn out to be fine!

Thanks a lot Lucasmummy and bbf!
When Dr Ang just pull his head out, he cried so loudly immediately, before his shoulder and body was out. But once he was on my chest, he open his eyes so big and look at me and stop crying when I touch his face. When the nurse removed him for cleaning up, he cried very loudly again [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Then when I tried to breast feed him and hold him in the labour ward after cleaning up, he will be calm and when the nurse took him away he will cry again. It is as though he can recognise my voice and my smell. How could I not love him [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Chubby tiger,
Don't worry, be happy! As you will see your precious little girl very soon. All the best for your c-sect tomorrow!
Same here, I even started tearing right at Dr Ang's clinic when I agreed to be induced (although later turn out to be a natural delivery on the same night), actually have been feeling very down for a week. But after labour, all the worries just went away like that, as I know I will overcome all the problems and obstacle one by one no matter what for the sake of the 2 angels in my life.

hihis!
Huggy! congrats on the arrival of ur bb! glad ur bb is ok..sounds like a harrowing experience
i've got the same gynae as you and BB_Hon,
i find it extremely curious that everytime Dr Ang does VE, that mtbs get contractions and then deliver ..
after my last VE check at 37/38 week, i also got contractions and back pain, which stopped the next day,
i'm due for my 38/39 week check next mon and am kindda skeptical about his VE check.
Why need to be so rough and then get contractions? hmp!
AR, pinkky:
congrats on ur bb's arrival too!!!
btw, about my caffeine fix, heee mrs teo and luckyone.. thanks for the support ...heee

Morning mummies,
Huggy, congratulations!! Goodness, your boy is so cute, he sure looks very matured huh, I remember when my #01 was out, she was also very alert, her two big eyes keep rolling around to check out the new world. So touching, the baby is definitely bonded with the mummy inside out, have a good rest!! :")
AR, congratulations to you too, do post pictures of your baby too. :")

Chloie,
Hope you are doing well. The tummy is usually the first to slim down with the help of massage, the rest of the body, you will need to work on it alittle. It took me 3 months to go back to my pre-maternity clothes. :")
Bbf,
I also feel like my chest has expanded after #01, hope it doesn't expand further with 2nd birth...
