Hi Mummies who have given birth in TMC. Just wan to check that if I need to pack anything for baby in my hospital bag? During the hospital tour, they said everything provided even for the going home clothes.. Confirmed?
Just went for my checkup. Baby now 2.7kg, I put on 2kg within 2 weeks and baby only put on 400grams! I hit 57.3kg liao...praying hard not to reach 60kg when giving birth... Water level & heartbeat ok. So I'm still in the waiting list. Asked Dr why no VE or CTG, he said since everything look okie, there isn't any need for any test... I feel so insecure of not doing any VE and CTG... Good thing is I cleared the Strep B test[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

FM:
When i discharge i requested for S26 samples frm TMC for my boy though i BF him.. they got a lot to choose frm and i ask for recommendation but e nurse just ask me to choose what i want..
yesterday he's admitted for jaundice.. since i got not enought supply i got to ask nurses to give him FM, so they gave him S26.. but he regurgitated quite a bit and this morning my PD recommended Enfalac A+ RA.. it's some anti-regurgitating FM..
so for those who are buying FM to store, maybe shld get your bb to try samples first? Otherwise if nd to change quite a waste of money..

FRIENDS, no need to bring anything....all provided for baby and you. Although I did bring my own clothes for daily and night time wear, they say you can also wear your home clothes if you like after the first day, as it's more comfortable and the hospital one is back opening, so not so nice if you are expecting a lot of visitors.
Trust Dr Tham, he is very good. I did not do any VE or CTG as well as it was not necessary. He will tell you what you need to do and what is not necessary.
He was also very helpful and calming all throughout the operation. The moment he stepped into the operating theatre, my fears disappeared! I had a painless epi c-sect and right after my operation, it was also painless! I could walk fairly briskly the next day as well. No problem getting out and in of bed and hardly any pain for the last few days. Compared to my 1st time, this was 100% better!
Dr Tham explained that it is due to the transition period between cutting, stitching and how fast between being stitched up and going back to the ward before the epidural wears off. The shorter the transition time, the better in helping us deal with the pain basically.
All under Dr Tham, we are in good hands!! He's very good and attentive. He came to see me every morning and was very caring and patient. Im so glad I picked him as my gynae!!!
Genice, the vendor is recommended by hospital. Green Pasture Pte Ltd, call Cecilia for the Photo therapy box - 63052583. However, I think they only rent if it is referred by the hospital or paediatrician as she asked me a lot of questions also. So if baby has jaundice, and paediatrician approves for treatment being done at home, then you can rent back home. It saves a lot of money as well, imagine paying for your extra nights stays (if you are total breastfeeding) plus baby's packages. I chose to bring baby home and doc approved only if jaundice level is below 10. My boy's was 8.8 so they discharged him. Cost about $450 for 3 days 2 nights. So I took it yesterday and they are collecting it back on Sunday afternoon.

Dear all, I be going to TMC to induce my bb later after 11pm. Currently 39 weeks 5 days so by tomorrow I be able to see my bb : )
Lin- I was hopin to haf contraction midnight or tml leh coz I lyk e date. Haha! If really so lucky den Dr Lim muz b really bz. Anyway haf a smooth delivery.
Zinc & Lin- Did Dr Lim ask u gals to do any test b4 u give birth? MY #1 thou wif him bt gt no chance to do anything coz he came out much earlier den EDD.
Irma- Exactly wat I feel tat they r a bunch of liars, juz becoz I didn't file a complaint, juz verbal complaint den they can treat as if nth happen.
Re: Formula Milk
I think all hospital will give u ur own choice ba no matter wat we shd b e one choosing n nt them. Yes, u can request for samples of ur choice upon discharge. Get from them those glass bottles as well for EBM.
Friends78- TMC do provide baby swaddle n clothes bt den some parents lyk mi prefer to bring my own set of clothes for my baby to change upon discharge. Tis 1 is more on personal reference. Tis time round, I will still bring 1 set of clothing, mitten, bootie n swaddle wrap for my newborn.

Re Freestyle from Tan Leng Leng
Mummy2nia and Sheryl, even thou the US set doesn't have warranty, I understand that Tan Leng Leng does help some of the mummies to send back the faulty sets to US and managed to get replacement. U may wish to confirm with her before buying.. I haven't ordered from her yet... cos I think I wld most likely stick to Enlac FM as I don't think I can pump every 3 hrs but I will still try lah during confinement using an old pump hand down by friend...

Genice, actually doc wanted to keep him in the hospital for a few more days. But I said I wanted to bring him home since I am discharging and breastfeeding so I ask if I can rent the machine to do it at home. He refused to let baby discharge unless he is below 10, and provided we rent and continue to do the photo therapy at home. The reason why the PD wanted the special attention is also because my boy's jaundice is due to his G6PD deficiency and thus, his levels can quickly increase if not treated with more attention and mere sunbathing may not do the job quickly. So I have to put him under the light for min. 18 hrs or more a day, which is literally almost a full day, every moment, unless if he is feeding or bathing or changing. Poor thing.....I feel bad when he cries and cries and so I always try to feed him first so that he is contented and then put him back under the light box.

genice, he didnt say what is normal. Also Dr Tham is not pro sunbathing, as he calls it BBQing the baby....so poor thing and can get sun burnt if not careful. So he also recommends renting the light box. I sunbathed my 1st one when she had jaundice too, but hers was fairly mild and the PD back then said only need an hour or 2 a day will do.
Sheryl, trust ur maternal/mother instincts k. If u feel she's yellow just bring her to doc. Its not abt $$ lor.
Pump

sherly....if the jaundice getting more serious, better send for check up. where is your hospital? can send to KK, my gynae told me total bill will not exceed $100 plus.
by the way, you can also try giving more milk to your baby....let baby pass motion more frequently. If the stool colour is yellow, jaundice lvl will definitely go down.
doc told me that there is a "peak" for baby jaundice. your baby could be hitting the peak.

mummies who just popped....can I ask...do you allow your newborn to be in air-conditioned room?
My baby seems to dislike air con alot. only when I turn on air-con with 30 degrees, then he seems to be ok. no use if I put more blankies for him. he just want the 30 degrees.
but 30 degrees is too warm for me.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] his comfort zone is not my comfort zone.

I also checked out the store prices for the Medela freestyle.. also selling $799 at First few years and KKH before i decided buy it from Tan Leng Leng.. even the expo sell with free gift also cannot beat the spree prices.. i heard it is controlled price in singapore.. so it is very worth the price if u get it from US spree.. i paid under $500 (all inclusive + express shipping).. even though no local warranty, if you handle with care.. should last U throughout.. anyway 1 yr warranty for local or US set.. by then time u use it 6-8 mths.. i think its the same la..i also emailed her my order and i got her to send the shipment by express.. within over 2 wks i got it..i tested it..so far so gd.. Just that now i need to go get some accessories from the speciality store.. in tampines 1 i heard..
Just wondering.. must we get the breastpad..? thats the only thing i have not buy..
Talking abt shopping.. buyng via online also Not cheap leh.. we will get too carried away sometime.. at least for me..been spending too much on GAP, ON, carters & Osh.. now i know where my salary goes the last 2 mths.. sigh.. anyway..GSS just come at the rite time.. just went to Mothercare.. 50%-60% off selected items like beddings and bb clothes.. bought a quilt and cot blanket for bb.. supposed to pay abt $180.. i only pay less than $80.. * YAY..*
Really happy that my lovely playpen is finally here, HOT from US this morning.. Bought it online and i actually paid slightly less than what they sell at the shops even though i shipped it myself from US.. Was abit worried if it does not come on time or worst still.. get lost in the shipment!!..

hi everyone,
i managed to deliver my twin girls, Emma and Clara, on 1st June. They're 2.33kg and 2.1kg respectively.
maybe its age but my c-sect wound hurts and so i decided to stay an extra day and only got discharged today. babies are not discharged yet though cos they need phototherapy sessions due to high jaundice levels. i'm trying my best to still breastfeed them while they're there so still a little busy.
will come back and write more soon.

Have MIA for the day!
Can't imagine I was around chatting with u mummies even after my csect.
Now I MIA due to engorgment that is driving me nuts.
After the whole day of fighting with the engorgement, it starts to get relieve n under control..
The pain is worse than my csect wound pain! Gosh!! I wish I'm back to those day I'm having BH non stop lor!!
Even want to give up bfing also can't now cuz only continue to feed n pump will solve this painful problem..
Mummy2nia, i heard pigeon is not as efficent.
A good pump is something very important to bfing mummies. Although it might be a waste of money to buy before u confirm u have milk or not..
But investing a good pump also can build up ur confidence as u are able to express more.
U may consider second hand? I bought my second hand freestyle at only 280 in very very good condition.
I know second hand pump is not very good but i think freestyle is better cuz the milk
doesn't get direct conta t with the tubing unlike PIS soni decided to buy.
At least get a avent manual which I think Works much better than pigeon..
No harm investing a good pump! Cuz come to think of it we tends to buy useless stuff for bb on impulse too. Spend the money on strollers etc. So spending abit more on pump doesn't make alot of difference

No harm investing a good pump! Cuz come to think of it we tends to buy useless stuff for bb on impulse too. Spend the money on strollers etc. So spending abit more on pump doesn't make alot of difference
Joelle.. saw ur post on fb too! So happy that u got ur playpen, still remembered u were contemplatig whether to order or not. Can i just check with u how much u paid for the playpen in total, how much was the shipping? Just want to find out in case if i want to order bulky stuffs from US. Post pic of ur playpen on fb leh.

Mummynia, i agree with bliss.. u can try investing in avent manual pump first. Its really quite good, infact today i used it and it can clear my breasts in abt the same timing as freestyle but of coz more tiring but a very small investment to kickstart bf.
Daphne, my boy also has the same problem with aircon room, we switch temp to 26 degrees and covered him with blanket, husks pillow seems so comfy already yet he doesnt sleep well. Tonight i moved him to the living room w/o aircon and ehe seems to sleep better. In the dya time, he can sleep 3 hrs str at the living room on his bouncer. Maybe u cna try to do w/o aircon... btw 30 degrees seems quite warm already like our normal temp, i think dun need switch on air con .. save electricity also.

Patl.. thanks for explaining! BTW, forgot to tell u, ur boy looks so cute and chubby!!! I can imagine my sil's son will look like him too... her hubby is british, urs?
Wow.. 18 hrs??? u mean they have to be 'baked' for so long in the box.. poor thing..no wonder u wnat to bring him home too.. at least can spend the remaining 6 hrs to feed and change him. I somewhat agree w ur doc that sunbathe is like bbq, 3 days ago, i put my bb under the sun ( between 9.30 -10) and i think i made the wrong decision, the sun was too hot.. have to go for the early one like 8 plus, for these 2 days, i will continus to sunbathe tikk the next review and c how. At least now i noe the acceptable level is below 10. Thanks for sharing.
Sheryl, can bring for blood test.. u delivered at MT A? i brought K for blood test, only $11 not expensive so u might want to check if u are worried. Continue to sunbathe ( i think it will still help)
Congrats shen and azureoct!!
Lin, have a smooth delivery!! Jia you.

Mumy2nia... If u wan try out with a pump get avent if u dowan spend so much.. Compare to pegion it's better.. Before I get my electric single pump frm medela I'm using avent manual pump de.. Disadventage is hands tiring aft long pump, suction is good. Try the selling corner, will be able to find brand new for a lower price..

Hi ladies,
Saw my gynae yesterday and my 39 weeks baby is still snug and comfy in me! Dr said that if I don't go into labour naturally, he'll induce me t 40 weeks. Kind of apprehensive so would appreciate if mommies can share their experiences?
I know it is beneficial for babies to stay inside me for as long as possible but I can't help feeling a little disappointed cos Dr told me 3weeks ago that baby's engaged and would arrive anytime. And now, having to wait this 1 last week seems like an eternity!
Re breast pump, I also bought a 2nd hand freestyle set at $400, bought from US so no local warranty. Didn't know that I can get a brand new US set with the BP else I would have done it!
