morning mummies ^_^
muddypaws: dont be too upset with your parents ok. just tell them what about your thoughts. share with them the fact that other people are doing likewise only the chinese believes in such. you are already practicing half confinement by eating the right food liao and tell them you are old enough to take care of yourself, etc.
haha, your Liz's pooing sounds so cute. enjoy the moments ^_^
wow! so envious leh. pre-preg jeans leh. you must have lost almost all the weight gained during preggie liao. good good! hope i can do that too!
dbaby: congrats that Rayshon is putting on weight so well. continue the good work.
i guess for our own parents, sometimes its very hard to "tell" them off too. and in this case, the hubby cant be of much help.
roiv: congrats and welcome ^_^
stefie: jia you jia you jia you!
lovebyte: ouch! that sounds pain! luckily parentcraft nurse was able to help you with the blab and release the blocked duct. thanks for sharing.
tenq: our own parents sometimes can overdo things without thinking de loh. so its important to tell them about what you think is right and wrong. i think they might be upset this time round. maybe when all of you are feeling better, you can try texting them to tell them why you do what you did.
stefie: hope to hear good news from you soon. oh mine, your hubby must be super duper tired.

Stefie, jiayou!! Everything will sure be soon soon heng heng. Hope to hear frm u soon!
Mommies who've popped, can i ask how long do u all usually pump? Is it 15mins per breast or do u all pump until the breast is empty even if it takes an hr?
I usually pump for max 20mins but i realised my breast has nvr felt full even if i dun pump during the night n the gap between 2 pumps is like 9hrs.

Hi ladies. I just went for my final check up with dr woody. I'm going to admit to TMC at 11am-12pm today to induce. Finally, the time has arrived! He said I'm slightly open when he did VE, not sure what that means.
Pray that everything will go smoothly and can go natural.
Dr woody definitely more gentle than dr ang when doing VE. No pain at all but for dr ang, it felt like he practically shove his whole hand in. Haha.

i had done with my week 38 checkup with Group B result positive ... sigh .. means i hv to take antibiotic jab before deliver and i must remember that all the time .. Gynae didnt mention about when will I deliver but he just said it in a more relax way that he will see me before my EDD for deliver. And will only induce if I pass Wk 41 ..
and then HB is going to Jakarta next week .. figure crossed that BB will only come out when he is back ..

Amelia J, it's ok, group B positive is very common for preggy ladies to get due to our crazy hormones. It's very common de.. Anyway yours will be under control so your baby wont be affected. Your EDD is end december issit? I'm at my 38th week also and my gynae also like yours, pro-natural just let the baby decide when baby want to come out anytime before week 41.
Juliana, All the best!! jiayou and update us whenever you can!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi all mummies!
Seems like all having probs with mil and parents.
Sigh, i think its normal that we want to spend more time with more privacy with our kids. And maybe its confinement that cause our hormones to go haywire also.
I'm also irritated with things my pil do sometimes..especially my mil, although she meant no harm..sometimes I really hope I can move somewhere myself and just take care of her by myself. Its very irritating when you try to do your job and there is other people intervening. I feel like I dun have the freedom to take care of my own baby.
I dunno why she fusses over the sterilizer, cos pigeon sterilizer can only keep bottles sterilized once every 6 hrs, so normally I'll just sterilize as and when I want. Now I have to keep a timing, set by her, so that we wouldn't "waste" the 6 hrs. I think its crap.
And usually BB gets hungry every 3-4hrs, if its only 2, she will stop me from feeding, saying its not time yet..yes I know she doesnt mean any harm, cos maybe if its not time, BB won't drink finished. But I really cannot stand..
And my FIL, always rushes to feed her. I dunno why I get irritated also. I'm irritated whenever they carry her or get too close with her.
I'll only be planning for my 2nd kid after we move into our new place. Then I'll get a confinement lady and take care of my own kid in my own place. Can't stand it! Need to rant!!!!

Hey Muddypaws,
great tt u can wear 1 of ur pre-preg jeans. i still dun haf the courage to try my jeans yet. tt time for No.1, i even slim bk to wear 1 of the jeans tt i find tight b4 preggy. and then after tt got No.2 liao and put on weight. i hope can lose back the weight soon.. nw can wear most of the normal shorts & 3/4 last time. Jeans will try last.. hahahaa... keep it up & lets lose more together..
yurieve, Eoneon
ya, glad tt BB is gainin well. cos he was only a pathetic 2.58 at birth. but hope his bloatness goes away soon..
yurieve
dun care abt ur MIL la.. so insensitive. actually tt time when i jus back from hospital after No.1, ah ma also keep teasing me abt stil look 5 month preg tt i very upset. tis time round i ask her dun disturb me anymore cos i realy take it very hard. but heng, tis time i nvr gain much so tummy more or less back to norm, except for tt flabby flesh.. sometimes jus need more time and since we BF-ing, it will be faster. like the webby says, we took 9 months to gain so we shld expect to lose in 9 months.. and nw cant diet cos wan all the nutrients for BB.. cheer up!!
Melissa
nvr easy staying with PILs.. i seriously feel for those of u doing confinement with ur PILs. if they are nice and considerate then OK la, but if like some of the nonsense PILs here, then very jia lut. cos we haf to keep to confinement rules, dun even haf privacy n own space for BF, haf to share bonding time of BB with them, and cant do things our way.. Really Jia Lut.. meanwhile, jus hang in there for sake of BB..
as for feeding, it doesnt matter 2 or 3 hr gap. jus feed on demand, and BB will reject once they are full so dun need to worry abt overfeed.. i also latch on demand, sometimes only 1hr+ gap.. but jus give lo...

i cant wait to have my break before i deliver ... nw i m zombie in the office, can fall asleep anytime
yurieve: I pump max 25 mins (usually 20mins), I heard if u pump till empty the supply will increase, but I try not to do that as I don't want breast to be engorged.
I am letting go of my brest friend pillow as I am giving expressed breast milk instead of direct latching. Anyone interested let me know. Only use for a few times, and have washed the cover after use.

I used to pump 10mins each side n will get 150-200ml. After tt jus pump to 'soften' & only pathetic 10-20ml cos will latch BB. Each time latch 1 side & pump the other. Nw both side used to the 'schedule' & no longer wil hard til pain. So i jus latch n stop pumping..
If u wan increase supply, u can jus pump til 'empty' like wat Aiko says. If nt dun over pump cos later supply too much for u to handle.. Jia You!! More fluids to replenish huh..

yurieve, i pump for 30mins for each side but doen't empty. after pumping, i'd manually squeeze some more until i feel it's enough, then stop. sometimes might take up to an hour. i'm trying to empty it so as to increase my supply but it's not easy. i still have hard lumps which are difficult to massage away.
dbaby, thanks for the link to The Line. I will go check it out! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] think my hb deserves a treat... maybe can be his bday treat, just nice. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

DBaby, wat else do u take? I take fish soup with green papaya almost everyday, 2 bottles chix essence, Watever other soup available, red dates drink, soya bean milk, rice drink. Wat else can I take?

Dewdew/milo/Eon/Dbaby/Yurieve: While I am able to fit into my pre-preg jeans, I've only lost 6kg so far [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Maybe for the figure, it's cos I've been going up and down the stairs every day since I got home... plus I use the ginger massage cream purchased from the 'newmummy' BP spree.
Melissa: 2 days of confinement left? So nice! Haha, if you need to hide from your PIL, you can cross the road to my house [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
RE: Parents
My mum just called again to nag about why I shouldn't go to my FIL's house this Sunday. Emphasized that I'm 'dirty' and shouldn't go to people's house now, I won't have anything to eat for lunch, what if people want to visit me and I'm not at home.... I told her my hubby has already decided to bring us to FIL's house for lunch. If she doesn't agree, she can speak to my hubby. Haha, my mum is afraid of my hubby, so doubt she dare say anything.

Aiko, Dbaby, dewdew, crystal, thks so much for ur replies.
Aiko, u're doing exclusive pumping now? Do u supplement wz fm? I'm also thinking of doinb exclusive pumping cos my baby has difficulty latching on.
Dbaby, oh my tian! Can i have ur mi jue pls?! 200ml in 10mins is oh my god impressive lor! I'm so envious...
Direct latching is so much more convenient... I rmbr u were pumping only initially right? So u learnt how to latch correctly after going to see lc at parentcraft? I'm thinking of making a trip down too... Cos i really hope i do direct latching. Exclusive pumping is last resort for me.
Dewdew, i also try to empty when i pump but seems like it'll take a v long time for me to achieve it. So far, the longest i pump is 30mins n my breasts still dun seem to be empty.
Crystal, u're pumping abt 90-100ml now right? Tats alrdy v gd. Its my 9th day since giving birth n i'm only getting abt 60ml total each pump.

Oh, the dates blocked out after 15th Jan cos haven released. They will released dates 39 days frm today. Meaning which if u wan book 16th Jan, tml then can book. Nvr mind, shall see u there then. Wat time u book? I book 6pm then can slowly enjoy n eat til 1030pm.. Hahaha.. Must eat to my shiokness.. But will be with my gal & BB.. Family thingy.. Hahahha =)

Ya, initial only pump & btl feed cos bad engorged cos breast to swell & hard so nvr latch, plus nipple also very sore lo.. I only been latching since 1 week+ back. Went to LC at KKH & learn but also feel a pain during initial latch cos breast still hard, no time to pump/express a bit b4 feeding cos BB cant wait..
I drink 1x chix essence, lots of fluid though. I can drink up to 6-8 glasses of water, 4 cups milo & 1 thermo flask of red dates tea per day.. I can eat 6 meals per day lo.. Jus eat & drink more i guess. I eat steamed fish, 2 per meal & also eggs, veg, meat etc to make up for the extra proteins & nutrients.. Nvr really eat supplement or papaya fish for milk supply..
Dun stress abt the supply. Initial i also get abt 90ml only.. Until like day 7-8 onwards, it slowly go up. Does pay to be hardworking n keep pumping every 3hrs.. Jia you!!

Went to LC at KKH & learn but also feel a pain during initial latch cos breast still hard, no time to pump/express a bit b4 feeding cos BB cant wait..
I drink 1x chix essence, lots of fluid though. I can drink up to 6-8 glasses of water, 4 cups milo & 1 thermo flask of red dates tea per day.. I can eat 6 meals per day lo.. Jus eat & drink more i guess. I eat steamed fish, 2 per meal & also eggs, veg, meat etc to make up for the extra proteins & nutrients.. Nvr really eat supplement or papaya fish for milk supply..
Dun stress abt the supply. Initial i also get abt 90ml only.. Until like day 7-8 onwards, it slowly go up. Does pay to be hardworking n keep pumping every 3hrs.. Jia you!!

dbaby, thanks for your bm tip! wow, u really drink a lot of liquid! no wonder i dun get much milk, i can't even finish 1 flask of red date drink. at most is 2 cups of milo a day, a bowl of soup and less than a flask of red date drink. ok, i shall up my intake of liquid from today onwards. also, u lost 8kg since a week ago? wow!
The Line - i will be there at 7pm. i know i wouldn't be able to eat for 3.5hrs anyway. haha. i'll be with hb, will see if i bring baby along.

mummies: went for my checkup this morning with Dr M Tan. must say she is a detailed and fun gynae just like my own gynae. lucky i have her as stand in. was at tmc from 9.20am till 2.00pm for checkup and tests and from 2-3.30pm at mangogal's ward chit chatting. hehe..
went for ctg, everything is fine. then went for consultation with Dr M Tan. told her baby's movement reduced the past few days. she was concern and did ve and ultrasound for me. cervix still super high. so no chance of inducing unless i want csection. baby is partially engaged liao. then she sent me to Dr TC Chang there for detailed blood flow test and baby's weight measurement cause baby wasnt in good position to measure using her machine. came back, water level good, placenta good, baby turned to a not so ideal position for birth as she is back to back with me now. so must talk to her to turn again. and through the detailed measurements, baby is only less than 2.8kg. both Drs mentioned baby is on the smaller side but no worries. now the only thing is to monitor her movement everyday. next checkup is this friday. hope my princess is fine and move more for me.
yurieve: just ignore your mil lah. she is a no brainer, talk with her a**. dont get upset by her remarks ok. so long you have your hubby and sons support, who cares about her. jia you!
juliana: aiyoyo.. didnt see your post earlier. i was at tmc until 3+pm. went for checkup then visit mangogal. all the best for your delivery. soon soon heng heng! jia you!
amelia: must keep talking to baby loh. how long will your hubby be away?
melissa: chill chill! i think you are just missing those bonding moments with your gal whenever your pil rushes to carry or feed her. dont get angry over it. dont let yourself be too affected. yes, have your own place then have number 2. better that way. hehe.. jia you!
when will your place be ready? and congrats! you are completing your confinement soon!
dewdew: aiyoyo.. never mind about your mum's comment. just do your best! jia you!
dbaby: thanks for sharing the good deal. aiyah.. i cant even plan to book yet cause havent deliver. haha..
muddypaws: aiyoh, why must the older folks keep saying we are dirty! cant they wake up their idea? what is so dirty about child bearing? faint!

Hi Mommies and daddies[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Update on my birth story[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
7 dec: put pill at 1135pm. Only 1cm dilated
8 dec: 0730am, only 2 cm dilated. Dr woody break my waterbag. Wau lau I screamed like mad woman. Then before putting on drip,I requested for epidural ( deon I think that's when hubby saw you). After happidural And drip happy till 2pm plus then can feel Alexis trying to push thro my v.
3 Plus dr woody arrived and Alexis was delivered within 5 pushes with vacuum asst.
Heng thing is we induced Alexis today cos there was a knot in her cord. If we waited longer she may die in the womb. Super Heng. Really need to thanks dr woody[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Alexis is very beautiful and smart baby. Hubby is so happy[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] now he going home to feed our furkids and rest[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] he didn't sleep for 18 hrs Liao.
Deon, must use epidural. Really it does make labour much easier. If not I would have given up and do csection.
