Sheryl, my in laws thinking very funny one lar! Today my mil say cannot praise baby clever, good boy etc.. But can say he is CUTE! My hb say everything cannot day but cute can say! I got nothing to say lor.. I was laughing over their conversation..
And my mil ask if I'm going to have the 3rd bb and my hb replied no.. Then she go on saying that I can go n tie myself since I am not giving birth anymore and my hb say "oh! I'll be the one tying!" and my mil say "HUH! U tie arh! Very troublesome lar!!!"
I was laughing so hard in the room cuz she is so shocked that my hb say he is going to "tie" himself! Haha! I feel like asking her 2 grandson liao still not enough?! Why must I be the one tying huh?!
Koaru,
yes E drinking 80ml at day 7 every 3 hours.. Sometimes even after feeding.. I believe that time is growth spurt..
Now my CL control his intake.. Cuz when I latch him, my milk is too much so he will blur blur suck until he is super full.. And when he hiccup got milk flow out.. So I latch max 3 mins.. Give him 60ml only and will give another 20ml if he really really wants it.. Cuz E very tiny to me.. I don't think his little tummy can contain so much!

Koaru/Bliss
My 1 week bb boy also drinking 70ml every 2.5-3hrs. And sometimes extra 10-15ml. I tried to re-latch him..manage to do so but only for a few minutes today..(just barely recovered from the cracked nipples)..he was still like sucking at the teat rather than the whole nipple. I feel more secured giving him EBM now, at least I know how much he is drinking.
I hv also heard that bb boys are generally more deanding than bb gals when come to bfdg.
Avent electric pump
Koaru - I am also using Avent electric pump...I can pump out 100ml with the m/c, but I need to use my hand to compress my breast while the m/c is pumping out the milk. If I compress at the right angle/area, the flow canbe quite fast..I feel accomplished when I see milk spurting out from the teat.

Stitch
I think my stitch has healed...saw bits of black thread coming out the other day. No longer felt itchy. But I am still applying the disinfectant lotion after each toilet visit. Now I am waiting to clear my first bowel after delivery..need to up dietary fibre in my diet.
Lochia
Still having them on and off, esp after each pumping session. As I was flowing blood clot during the first 2 days, my gynae gave me medication to break down the clot, so I guess it will take a while for me to stop the lochia completely.

i'm so jealous of your milk ss! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] 300ml is like a day worth of milk output fm me!
baby into wk 3 and i can only get avg 50ml fm both sides even after 3 hr pump session
my MIL also very irritating!! everytime my baby makes a tiny wheeny sound like stretching outta his swaddle, she will dash out fm her room and say in mandarin "What happen.. you angry ar?? need to drink milk issit??"
i get dammed irritated when i hear this!! lil bit of noise = angry?
even when feeding time is not up yet or he shows no sign of hunger, she will always say need to drink milk!
think my hormones are wrecking up!
Bebe

breastfeeding:
honestly super tough. as much as I let go to sup with FM since my 4day old boy is takin 50ml per 3hrs feed. I felt real terrible for not hvg enough milk. hopefully by tomorrow I'll hv more. only manage to pump out like some 20ml.
stitches at below :
still a little sore but generally no pain. a bit worried when pass motion for the first time but still ok leh.
confinement:
I miss my confinement lady last pregnancy. my mil doing confinement for me this time. not tt she's not good. just tt mil, a lot of things you can't ask her to do, like throw rubbish sweep floor or hang up laundry. I pity my hubby. he's been doing all the chores. and my mil don expect me to be resting all the time. want me to take care of baby. actually really tiring. now 2am, baby woke up so hv to attend to him. last time got confinement lady I'm still sound asleep. just woke up to express milk.

Gitz - the black thread came off when I was washing my bottom.
cold stuff
So far, I only have cheese from the fridge.. Was tempted to eat yoghurt..see how long I can tahan..
Cath
Not easy to deal withh MIL who is doing our confinement. Agree with you, that we cannot "instruct" her to do this or that, so ended up our hubby becomes the middle man.
I have the habits of sweeping the floor daily, mopping the floor on alternate day, washing the laundry daily. But with MIL, I cannot ask her to do. Now, I am sweeping the floor daily, mop the floor when she is not around.
Check with you mummies, how much do you intend to pay yr mil who is doing yr confinement?

Bliss,
really envy yr fast flow of milk not to mention adbundance tho I know it means pump n pump since supply outweighs demand! E not that tiny wat.. Mine after discharge fr hospi also only 3kg nia - will up his intake by another 10ml since he really finishes all each time.. End up I gotta express out every 2-3 hrs also..
Bebe75,
my case is milk always gets stuck at the petal cushion n maybe I din massage enuf but I juz can't understand how come got no milk at all even tho I can hand express 130ml! Think I better call avent hotline, was thinking can get someone to come to my place or wat.. Previously wif medela will die die hv some milk pumped out wat..
Surprisingly my bowel movement very good now, already cleared 3 times to date.. Even tho I only ate 1 apple so far but I do drink a lot of soup n hot drinks.
Sheryl,
the only thing I hv eaten fr fridge is cheese n apple but gotta leave it on the table for sometime first.. I hv been drinking hot stuufs only like red date tea, powder milk, Milo n nestum all super hot.
I hv been bathing too else can't imagine co sleeping wif my elder gal.. Washed hair 2 times too! Shiok!!
Gitz,
also gotta relax when pumping - the more u do it the more u will get. And it takes days to achieve that.. Jia you!

Congrats to mummies who have popped! So envy!!
Jia you to Joelle, Bluberi, myself & mummies who are still waiting anxiously in the Q... I'm oso becoming super panaroid nowadays hence the reason to request gynae to induce on this coming fri... Hope baby will take the hint and come out this week since i'm on ML liao... heartpain to waste my ML if everyday just laze around doing nothing... But don't take also cannot, boss throw assignments to me like forgetting that I may give birth anytime... When busy, i usually forget to monitor baby movements which is crucial this period... Better stay home to count & rest...

well well.. nice to hear all the expereiences of the mummies..
I'm one of the mummies still waiting. EDD is this wed but last check on sat, gynae said that cervix is still thick and closed.. so might be a overdue baby.. now, the checkups wld be every 3 days and wld see if cervix wld open up soon. if not, latest is overdue for a week and then induce... cross my fingers and hope for the best lah...

can I ask wat do contractions feel like? CTG on sat showed I have minor irregular contractions.. Then Sunday evening and nite I had 3 occasions where tummy quite painful, abit like those kind of wan-to-diarrhoe pain.. But normally when I have such pain, will definitely go poo quite soon.. but until now also no urge to poo.. sit in the toilet also cant push anything out... now my prob is i cant differentiate if those pains are contractions.. coz really pain until i can yell out ouch ouch ouch lo..
then also from ytd on, my left breast near nipple there very pain. rub against my clothes also pain.. it's abit like those menses time breast soreness but worse.. i checked and there's no blood or broken skin.. but how come will so pain, i haven given birth yet so cant be engorgement..

for mummies who has popped,
after latched on, how much usually can u expressed out? i'm going into my 5th day after delivery, but after latched can only express 10ml or 15ml after 20 mins of pumping. Baby will get hungry after 40 mins after latched on. can't even last for an hr. Very discouraging.

well, i had a false alarm last monday, had regular contractions but when checked it wasnt intense enough... went on ML since last monday till friday.. when i did the checkup on sat with my gynae, she told e doesnt look like so fast, so i came back to office today... wld work till i pop lah, if not stay at home also nothing much to do already...
think i wld try induce 1st.. cos overdue babies are common in my family.. sis' 3 kids are all overdue.. and the 1st one was also induce after being overdue for a wk... and still managed to go for natural with short labour hrs.. so hopefully i'll be like that... induce liao, wld be able to deliver within a short time and no need to do c-sect..

I just done with my 1st post-natal massage. Very lucky to get a friendly and professional Malay lady to do the massage for me. She is very patient and taught me how to do a proper massage for my baby. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
After much conversation with her, I found out that she actually did postnatal massage for Zoe Tay too and she told me Zoe slimmed down very fast for her 1st baby. Hopefully same for me too.

JoJo,
I also have the same feeling as you when i was abt to deliver. Stomach pain, like want to go poo. That is contraction and I deliver on that day. But my interval is very frequent, once every 5 minutes. I had this feeling around 7pm and i deliver at 11.42pm, but I am already 3cm dilated that time.

Summer_March, since gynea on leave n oni back on 17jun.. just hope bb will come out tis weekend. otherwise, i might opt to induce liao.. but will check with gynea first whether i start to dilate already.
