oh finally working!
Anyway, just wanna update...that my confinement auntie's daughter called me last nite to inform me her mom cannot do confinement for me already cuz her dad (aka the confinement auntie's HB) has just passed away.
Really unfortunate. But now I'm left with a replacement confinement auntie that I don't even know if she's good. Sianz ah!

CT,
Congrats!
I think I met you, I was lying in the same ward next to your bed in May. I had pre-term labor and given 4 weeks hospitalisation leaves to stay in bed. I delivered my bb on 23rd June, exactly week 37, as my cervic had continued to progressively open up since 31 week even though I was given medication to stop the contraction.
Dear ladies,
I had reported here since early pregnancy, but was not able to keep up with the tread. 2nd pregnancy is very different from the 1st one whereby I had all the time in the world to rest, and to be selective with the food I ate. For 2nd pregnancy, I was often tired physically, and to my surprise, I had pre-term labor at week 31, although I didn't feel the early contractions. Doctors were not able to explain why I had pre-term labor, all the lab test turned out ok. Anyway, it was over. My birth story is very brief, but it was too much excitement for me!
19th Jun morning - went for weekly review, was 36.5 weeks and VE, I was already 3 cm dilated. Gynae recommended to hang in there for a few more days, continue to lie in bed as much as I can, minimal walking as the force of gravity could soften the cervic further and dilation could progress faster. Continue with Adalat, which control contraction.
For my case, since this is the 2nd birth and I was already 3cm dilated, once active labor begins, it might progress very quickly. At 36.5 weeks, bb was about 2.8kg, which wasn't very big and likely to be easy to push. So it would be a risk to wait for symptoms to appear while at home, coz' likelihood of me not getting to hospital on time was high. Recommended, we checked in early, if my waterbag doesn't break, gynae could break it for me, and we control the birth situation.
23rd June Wednesday 7am exactly 37 weeks bb of full term - we checked in to KKH delivery suite. Things were very organised. I changed into the labor dress, nicely strapped up in bed. Baby heart beat was good, contraction was not yet regular.
8am - Gynae came in and asked if I want epidural. My threshold for pain had always been very low, and I said "yes, please." Did VE, 4 cm dilated. Wow, I can't believe how it happen! Contraction doesn't have to be painful, and it still could cause dilation. Gynae broke the water bag, ordered oxytocin and said, "if you are fast, we can start pushing at noon or slightly after-noon."
8.30 am to 9am, epidural was administered, at very very low dose. Was educated to press this little button if the pain increase, the computerised system will slowly increase the dose within the 15 minutes span. Contraction on CTG looks regular and quite close now. I was still looking neat and composed, no pain !
9.15am - the pain came in suddenly, it was very intense. Ouch, the whole tummy was painful and the back too. The pain came, lasted awhile, reached a peak, went off but came back very soon, almost like at a mere count of 3.
9.20am - hubby said, why not press this little button to increase dosage of epidural. Ok ok, pressed, heard the little whistle, but the pain relief was not instant.
9.25am -
me: nurse nurse, is this computer working?
Hubby chip in: nurse nurse, can use the gas?
9.25am to 9.30am - used the gas, pain still intense. VE 6cm. Huh 6cm?
9.35am -
Me: OUCHHHH, this gas also seems useless, nurse.
Did another VE,
Nurse: "Oh, you can try to shit now."
Me: Huh, shit? Nurse, I don't want to shit.
Nurse: It's the same type of sensation, you can push now.
Me: huh, sure or not? Fully dilated liao?
Pushed with guideance from Midwife and nurse. After 2 pushes, midwife said ok stop, can see bb's head, Nurse called the gynae. Gynae on the way up to labor ward. She was here in a flash.
Gynae and midwife: take a deep breath and push.
9.46am - bb was born, 2,9 kg at birth.
So, if I did not follow gynae's recommendation to check in early, I should be delivering at home !

FL, wow 80 pax? For my #1 manyue, I split into 2 sessions (one in noon and evening) but still it was really crowded! I think getting a function room in a hotel/club may accomodate that kind of number? But I still feel that it may be better to stagger the timing.
Good afternoon everyone.
How is everyone doing today? Been hard to do posting this morning. Something wrong with system.
CT & Eliss: Congratulation!! CT, your baby about the same size as mine lei.. 36 wks @ 3.58kg. I also delivered at 36wks. Hehe!! Chubby cheeks.
Babycoco: Currently my BB is a week old. He is already taking in 90ml of milk. Went to see PD yesterday for checking of jaudice level and PD say can give him up to 90ml of milk. Now I am producing 40ml of breastmilk each time i pump so i will top up with 50ml of FM.
Breastfeeding: Becos I have short nipples and one of the nipples is inverted.. so i decided to pump my milk out to feed baby instead. Cause everytime i see him cry so hard and can't suck on my nipples properly for the milk, i feel upset and stress up. So now every 2-3hrs, i will pump once. I feel less stress up and happier. I realise it doesn't really matter much if my breastmilk came directly to baby's mouth from a bottle or my nipple. As long as I am feeding him breastmilk, even if little qty, I also happy.

Ann, jiayou jiayou.
my SIL for her #1 refuse to latch. so she is totally on pump. just pumping alone, my SIL had soooo much excess milk that she just threw them away as taking up too much space in the fridge.
the pump work wonders. so keep up the good work! little BM is better than no BM.

Am also a July mummy but seldom post here but would like to assure Serene about the hearing test. My no.1 failed both his ears when he did the test, imageine how scared I am. But he passed it with flying colours after a mth. So no worries yah [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Eve: You should call your gynae when in doubt. Gynae will be able to guide you along.
Lovelybun: Waiting game is no fun, nevertheless enjoy every moment now where bb kicks you in the tummy! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Keropi: Seems likely that it is getting nearer.. Take care and jiayou!

For me.. no BH, no contractions (only very mild cramps once in a while), no discharge, nothing! only bb getting very active for the past 2 weeks. The only discomfort is when sleeping, cos i cant find a nice sleeping position due to the huge tummy...

Jaclyn: Ya.. breastfeeding is painful... but quite worth it. When BB give u that contented look when full, u feel so good. Hehe!!
Serene: Dun worry too much. BB will be fine.. She look so alert.. unlike my boy.. just wanna eat and sleep. Now he even know how to make noise to ask pple to carry him. Hai..
Pillow: Ya lo.. so my advice to mummies who had problem latching the BB is dun give up... even pump out also good. Given my boy's kind of feeding, I think I won't have excess breastmilk like your SIL. Haha!! He is one big eater lei.

Pumping of milk: Actually how long do u all pump? I only pump 15min on each breast lei. Or we must pump till each breast is dry up.. but I dun think the milk stop lei.. will become lesser but never empty.
CL: How's everyone's CL so far? Mine is quite gd but the only thing is she nag too much.. keep saying i dun eat enough. My hubby sometime can't stand her nagging. Hubby also felt he had not pte time with BB cos whenever he went into the room to see BB, CL will rush in after him. I think she thought BB cry that's why hubby is there. Yesterday I purposely ask hubby to feed BB but he is not very good at it la.. CL was too anxious to take over. Can see hubby abit frustrated.

Following up from my earlier post, my waterbag is leaking and I've been admitted. But no contractions and dilation at all!!! But due to risk of infection have to be induced. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] now waiting for Dr to insert the medication, then evening will be on drip to speed things up. Action should start from midnight onwards. Guess I shd try to sleep as much as possible now.
Totally not ready! baby's only 36wks 3 days. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

oh... seems like most mummies popped earlier then EDD.
I am first time mummy, accept knowing that if there is spotting, blood in urine, water bag burst = bb may due anytime = inform gynea.
As i seldom have menses cramps or maybe i should say, i super donkey years then have once ... i dont remember how the pain is like accept stomache...
Can mummies here tell me how the pain is like as i these few days keeps having funny feeling in my tummy. Still feels bb moving for sure but that kind of feeling is funny - i dun know how to describe too... 2-3 times almost burst into cold sweat but few minutes later ok again... can happen like 2 times aday this week.

ann: Can feel ur frustration ... hahaha ... dont worry ur HB will pick up the skill very soon...
my HB dont even dare to carry newborn... dont mention abt feeding. But during Hospital stays, i heard 1st time mummies usually will have a basic session of how to handle newborns... so will make use of this chance to let HB learn as well.

Sun Tan, Ann
The intense labor was short, but my contraction actually started weeks ago, although it was not painful.
Ann,
My milk supply is about yours. If I pump every 6 hours, I can get 90 ml. It is a decent feed.
Xbeanniex,
Contraction may or may not be painful. However, you should still be able to feel it. It's like tightening of the tummy area, and it should come in regular intervals. For my case, when it was regular, it was not painful, but once the pain set in, it was rather intense, as it means dilation is in progress.
The other obvious symptoms are bleeding or water bag burst. Best to check with your gynae with regards to how you actually feel.
Ladies who delivered by natural birth, how long did you take for the wound to heal? Mine took 7 days. I thought this bb was not so big, and thought there is no need of episotomy, but at kkh they still do it as a routine.

ann, is it bad to mix bm & fm? i thought it was ok to do that.
my bb jaundice level very high, so we're renting the UV machine instead of admitting her to hospital again. so heartpain to see them take blood from her heel. saturday need to go for blood test again.
