Hello Mummies!
Wow so many mummies hv their baby in their arms already.. so sweet... for d rest of us still a waiting game...

aisha: i have very sore nipples now. ouch!!
I am wondering when i will be able to produce milk. Baby did suck but only seem to have white thick stuff coming out. Now he being put under the photolight for jaundice cos he has little bit of it. So my PD put him in just in case.
But dunno why BB keep crying and the nurse keep bringing him to me for feeding. Nipple so sore already. Had to ask them to give water sometime. Trying not to be upset by my milk production. Hai. Hubby say BB dun like the light and not becos hungry. Actually i think so too.

if u r reading this. ur firstmilk is called colostrum. it is what they call liquid gold. impt bb suckle some of ur colostrum. also, ur milk shd kick in betwen 3-7days and this is also a time when ur bb has enough reserve in the tummy so bb is not super hungry actually.
many of u r getting sore nipples bcos ur latch is not correct. quickly get the lactation consultatnt to watch u latch bb cos when u get home u r on ur own and latching problem will occur again.
get ur hubby to buy nipple cream for u. i recommend this hydrogel pad, which i had used before. but most impt, get latch right and if u see any milk leaking apply to ur nipples and air dry ur breast.
dun give up! it's just been days but dun be too upset. try giving partial bm and fm to bb. start pumping if u need to.
hang in there!

congrats to all mummies who popped over the weekend, rest well!!
to all mummies who brought the medela freestyle: how are we suppose to sterilse the parts? boil the pump kit in boiling water for 10 mins? do we need to sterilse after every pump? also do we need to sterilse the tubing? from what I understand, the tubing does not come into contact with BM. when water is not available, we can use the quick clean wipes to wipe the pump kit right?
sorry for all the qns, just hope to clarify my doubts TIAs

Hi Serene your baby is so sweet!
I also went for C-sect GA. Juz had my catheter removed today. Took my first walk to the toilet and had my first pee. Surprising.. it wasnt pain at all! Removal of catheter wasnt pain and my first pee was as per normal, contrary to what I heard from others. Wound should be recovering alright coz I was already walking around today. Has been latching baby every 3 hours or so.. she is like perpetually hungry and I wondered if I have any colostrum! coz when the nurse squeeze my nipples..nothing come out! I feel so heartache ans scared she will be dehydrated or hungry leh.. think i'll prob supplement with some formula if she's still crying tomo.
Congrats to all those mtb who has popped and advance congrats to those who are popping soon!
babycoco : how re you?

AK -- ya, catheter and peeing not pain.. i started walking ytd liao.. all the nurses tell me to sit.. but i say i kena confine on the bed for 16 hours before delivery.. i need to walk...!! haha.. am now on pain killer pills whenever i am in pain lor.. ytd when i finish my csect, dr ang came to find me and tell me that first day of csect is the most torturing one cause of the pain... its quite true actually.. right now, i feel much much better than ytd and i can clean myself up and wear my long pants without being in slow motion.. hahaha
my baby is feeding on demand (nurses say so) in the night because nurses say want patients to rest.. then morning - afternoon, latch 3 hourly. but hor... i will ask for bb every hour or 2 like tat.. she suckles a lot and can hear the loud swallowing.. now that she gets the hang of latching properly, she became a lot more secure and confident while i feel a lot easier feeding her...
oh ya, ytd nurse tell me that if my bb dun pee hor, they have to feed her water.. i think my bb heard it.. and she started a good and strong latch since then.. and when i checked with nurses today, she pee and poo!! haha.. no need water...
she latches 15 mins on left and right (so i can stimulate both side for milk to kick in).. then i will jus latch her again on any of the sides for as long as she can..
r u using football method? it helps a lot with the wound lei...
u dun kan cheong, if not u will tense up.. u try use a hot towel to massage ur breast before feeding? for me, i will be worried if my milk is emptied or not.. so i will press on my nipples to check and also use a bit of self compression to keep her awake..

morn mommies
DQ
happy birthday and yes, i still owe u moola!

ur bb has enough reserve for 3-5 days so dun worry. mother nature has it's way of compensating and preparing our bubs as infants so keep latching and trying.
also, can i ask dun give bb too much water bcos there is such a thing as too much water for bb causing water intoxication... if ur bb is on full bm/fm, no need to give too much water. bb will not b de-hydrtaed...
shann
rocking chair all depends on what u want. ur bb may not need it at all. keep it as a shopping list after ur first month. i bought a bb swing and now is white elephant at home. i realised i can sooth a crying infant more by holding her in my arms... tired but it's cheap n effective!

vivi,
hahaha! at one stage i was scared too - not on the contractions but more on the episiotomy. but now i'm quite open to anything. i've been reading Supernatural Childbirth, so am believing for a painless delivery and to approach childbirth without fear [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

episiotomy- i checked with Dr Chia last week on whether she did for me for my prev preg.
she said most of the time she do cut. but anyway, i dun feel anything when cutting. only feel a bit when stitching up.
for this preg , she said most likely no need to do it as now flexible liao.

Still not out yet bb. only 3cm dilate.
Now bb 36week+1day, gynae is pro natural.
No induced done. Just waiting for normal contraction. Will use epidural once 5cm.
Check in Sunday 3am, contraction was 15 minutes apart dilate 1cm only. Till now only dilate 3cm.The real game should be 5mins regular interval thats wat the mid wife says, so mummies take not ok.
Gnayne did a scan sayss bb is 2.7kg, than i showed her my jb scan 35week+1day bb is 3kg.
Than gynae says maybe will be above 2.7kg so ok to deliver. If waited till 40 weeks, bb will be too big to be deliver.
Now bb 36week+1day, gynae is pro natural.

vivi,
last wk when Dr Chia told me what to expect for labour, after birth, she oredi told me that whether she'll do an episiotomy is up to her to decide. okie lor
frens have been telling me that after all the pushing, we'll be "numb" from the pain, so when gynae cut and stitch, won't feel much. with epi, lagi won't feel the pain

hiya, lasery.
that was a close call. just rest and relax, and let nature takes it course. baby will come out when ready [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
these days i feel more hiccups - like my baby is getting ready by pratising on her breathing

i also kinda worried on the cuting mi up part..will inform gyane to numb me first if he really wanna cut mi..tt time had a bike accident and the nurse put local GA on my knee cap skin for stitches but ended up i still can feel the needle poking thru in n out with super pain..
icam
oic.. she didnt tell me what to expect for labour keke maybe she think i got experience. but in fact i dun have.
when i was preg with #1 she did tell me that between 34-36 weeks, cannot deliver and said if got symptoms, she has to supress it. now with #2 she didnt mentioned anything .
i didnt use epi for #1 so i can feel the stitching only.
