madam yip, u r funny.. lol.. yup.. maybe thru discharge.. i dun remember my gynae did ultrasound scan during my labour..
ann, try latching on than pump.. latch on will release those good hormones and milk flows faster.. i remember the 1st time i pump out milk for my #1 which is 2months later to prepare myself to work, i only got 40ml after 30-45mins.. very depressing.. but baby can drink well directly from breast..

Huffpuff,
me standby 1 tin of similac when giv birth to my boy 2 yrs back. In the end nvr use n hav to sell away. At hospital I try to latch on my boy whenever I can n top up with formula given by hospital. When discharge hospital giv some ready to drink formula to standby but I din use. Guess me lucky cos got enuff supply for my boy. Tis time I just standby 1 tin friso.
Ann,
direct latch on should b more efficient than pump. Breastfeeding is not an easy job. Jiayiu!

jasmine G,
yes.. u will feel something flowing back into ur throat.. sometimes when too much will end up like burping water out from mouth. So best is to put another pillow so that the acid wont backflow too much. If we eat too spicy, the acid is stronger, then will end up feeling heartburn together. For me, cos i can take milk, i will drink half to 1 cup before i sleep so that can neutralise the acid.

jasmine goh: I'm using Medela freestyle pump. Its working fine for me so far... I'm very stubborn about breastfeeding. Even though I have low supply even for #1, I cried lots but kept on persisting. Happy to say I bf her for 14 mths and she didn't have fever for her first year.
MVH: Yah I did latch on as much as possible but for 1 week already, kept having bleeding and sore nipples cos still trying to have correct latch... so for nite feeds, I have to pump to give my sore nipples a rest. My #2 mouth quite small for my cup size DD..... so he tends to suckle at nipple instead of areola... Gotta keep practising and forcing him to open mouth big big.... Have been 'fighting' him every day liao.... only since yesterday I notice he is more 'guai guai' to open mouth...
bakaholic: My PD is very pro-breastfeeding so even with jaundice, she will keep on asking me breastfeed. As long as baby is hydrated and got poo and got pee every day, its okay. My #1 had jaudice for 3 mths.... its breastmilk jaundice so its not harmful. Please don't let jaundice or having C-section stop u from breastfeeding. You can supplement with FM in the early days but keep on latching on or pumping.

Halo everyone.
As usual so many posts to catch up on.
My last check up on sat wk38d3, bb still at 3.2kg. Heng nv put on much since the week before.
How come my gynae didn't check if I am dilated or not huh? I'm suppose to go back this week to have CTG scan. Also haven been sleeping well. Since last night, every other hour I can feel that my V area very painful n arching. But each time only last for 5secs... Wats that???

should be your bb is very low down so keep pushing against your v area. not regular menses cramps then it's alright.

Jasmine, the problem with me is I donno how menstrual cramp feels like. That's why I'm worry that i can't tell that I'm having contractions. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Ann, I also hope that it's for real. At least I don have to stay up late at night wondering when bb is coming out. I will continue to monitor. Thank u!

Jasmine G,
yeah, i intend to ask the nurse to cup feed at night if im too tired to BF him..
bakaholic,
ohhh.. i have scheduled mine but still hopefully my boy will turn down within this week.. ;p
ktm,
once again, thank u so much for all your 'wonderful' comments.. not all mummies who go thru c-sect will opt for GA, i believe most of them will want to go for c-sect with epidural, so that they can see their babies immediately n no matter how much difficulties we mummies going thru, we will definitely brave thru it! pls kindly keep all your discouraging comments away, u are not of any help at all.

Milk powder
Similac is RM57.90 for 900gm..
Enfalac is RM78.90 for 900gm..
The exchange rate now is 1:2.3
They are much cheaper than SG, but the contents are also lesser than SG..SG milk powder is much better..but actually Carrefour in Singapore is also selling JB’s enfalac..i saw their packaging before.. I heard from malaysian, JB enfaclac is good.
Penguin,
Better check with gynae, tink you starting to dilate.
wl,
your baby very low liao..better ask your gynae to check cervix..

Sunflower: How are u? I was wondering if u have given birth... Cos I had that V-area and anus-area pain (like pressing downwards) for a whole day and I went into labour thereafter... I guess all these contractions thing is quite confusing... I wasn't even convinced I was in labour even tho I was already dilated to 5cm in the delivery ward... The nurse had to keep telling me that I am going to give birth soon...
Also wondering where's Charmaine?

Just to share a light-hearted moment that I had with my #1 girl 2 nights ago:
I was breastfeeding my bb and my #1 was watching me. Then after I fed my boy for a while, I gave up and was going to ask my hb to bottle feed him FM. So I told #1 "Okay, Papa is going to feed Baby now. Later u want to help to feed baby a not?" My #1 looks shocked and horrified.... She kind of clutched her chest and said "NO". Then I realized that she thot the whole family was going to latch baby on! I had to clarify with her that only Mummy had to offer her boobs to bb..... and Papa and other pple just bottle feed..... After which, she was very relieved! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

ktm: I agree, its better to be on safe side.
Sunflower: My bloody show was like light bleeding ie 50 cent coin on a normal pad..... Bright red blood... that is for the 1st hour... After that, I dunno how much bleeding I had cos I was already changed into the delivery ward scrubs. When the real fierce contractions come, u will feed painful menses cramps + lower back ache for 5-10 seconds every few minutes. But that type of fierce contractions come.... u should be in the delivery ward liao....
