yizhen,
i delivered at raffles. mine was considered emergency c-section cos i tried natural and ended up c-section. total bill was abt $5k+ before medisave deductions.
everything for yr stay is provided for, gowns, toiletries, bedroom slippers etc. unless u want to use yr own toiletries.
i essentially packed extra sanitary pads, breast pads and going home clothes for myself and bb.

To thaw milk
•Thaw slowly in the refrigerator (this takes about 12 hours – try putting it in the fridge the night before you need it). Avoid letting milk sit out at room temperature to thaw.
•For quicker thawing, hold container under running water - start cool and gradually increase temperature.
Previously frozen milk may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours after it has finished thawing. Do not refreeze.

Thanks grumpus!
Does any of your bb cry very badly when they want to sleep? No matter how you carry her or pat her buttocks, she will still cry n cry n cry until she gets tired. Sometimes she will s team at the top of her voice. It doesn't happen everyday, and its usually she wanting to sleep..

i've 1 horror story which my fren share w me. she said one of her GF had postnatal massage done. they wanted to have baby #2 but it just didn't happen. so she went to the gynae for a check. to her horror, she can't conceived again as the massage lady push the uterus out of place/too high up.
be sure to get reliable and trained massage lady.
i didn't do any post natal massage but managed to slim down pretty much to my pre-pregnancy size by the end of confinement. so dun worry too much about post delivery weight lost ok? the key focus is to get as much help w taking care of you and the baby after you deliver.

mine cry like that occasionally. so when he starts to fuss for no apparent reason (not feed/diaper/temperature), we figure out that he wants to sleep. He likes to be left alone on the bed and dun want us to touch him. @_@ The more we carry him, the longer he crys.

CSP jab is on 14 April. am worried about the jab cuz was told that fever is common and some babies will start to loss weight after the 5in1 jab.

EL Chan,
My bb at 10wks also weigh abt 6kg. So far I tried Huggies, Pampers, Drypers. Pampers is high-waisted so won't expose buttocks so easily. The other two are abit low-waisted hence poo may leak from d back. But Pampers are expensive lor... sigh.
Chelleybaby,
I am also thinking of re-applying after june but haven't fully decided yet. R u couple-coded?

Chelleybaby,
My girl is doing tat too, sucking her hands, our clothes etc. She does it even when she's contentedly sitting by herself. So I hv concluded tat it's cos she's just discovered she's got hands n a mouth n is just exploring. Now is the time where they start touching, feeling n grabbing things. In the next few mths everything she grabs will go into her mouth.
As for sleeping habits, my girl literally changes from wk to wk. One wk she's sleeping a lot n the next she's cat napping all day. I think it's normal cos every wk different developments r going on which could affect their eating n sleeping patterns.
Btw, I just posted out yr handle today. Do look out for it!

pinky,dun worry u will gradually lose weight de just the matter of time[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]me din gain alot of weight during pregnancy time tats y lose quite a nos after birth is just that those flabby arm and thigh so fan haiz
Breastfeeding will definitely help lose weight. For my number 1, i lost so much weight that i became so thin and could wear clothes that i hv not worn for quite long, even tho i was eating mountains of rice but still lost weight. This time round seem harder to lose weight.
I find that after i gave birth, my legs seem weaker, especially at the knee joint area. If i squat down, it is quite hard to get up. Any of you also hv this problem?

Pinky,
Thanks for the tip on the diaper discounts!
ELChan,
I am using Pampers NewBorn S (3-8kg). My bb poops about 1-2 times a day. Recently I realised the poo damn stinko... So unlike the early days. But the color n consistency still the same as last time. My bb on full FM since birth. Dunno what has changed inside her tummy & digestive system. Any mummies experienced this?
Sputnik,
Yeah yeah me too. I have this knee joint problem. I must squat down sloooowly n must support myself when I wanna stand up. It is definitely due to pregnancy & the aftermath of delivery cos I have never experienced this b4 & I am not a runner so it is not an exercise-induced problem. I have tried rubbing Tiger Balm, joint cream etc on my knees, but nothing seems to work. How come suddenly like that?!?!
Chelleybaby,
I hope to lose another 4kg. Been cutting down on carb intake & still wearing my binder faithfully everyday even till now. Tummy is flatter but still feels like tofu, eeks!

sputnik and chercat, i also have the same problem.. weak knees.. juz now when i squat, i hardly got the strength to get up again.. =( the other day while climbing the steps with my boy in my carrier.. i tripped on the steps and can hardly balance myself.. lucky i held on to the railings on the side for support.. else i cnnt imagine what will happen to my boy..
i'm thinking of taking gluocosamine to strengthen the cartilage at the joint area.. anyone knows if it helps?

currently back to my pre-pregnant weight n in fact, by the 3rd wk of confinement, I'm back to normal [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
urut may not suit everyone too. Heard many horror stories too.
If u wanna do urut, best is gp for those recommended by others. Also, i heard tat, if too painful, tell the person. Cos may have side effects.

yizhen, my CL only allowed me to wash my hair twice a week, shampoo and rinse with herbal water. You will need to wash your hair first, dry it thoroughly using hair dryer, then go and bathe.
CL told me not to blow fan, she said air-con ok. But air-con makes my skin and throat dry, so I still on the fan but not blowing directly at me.

Thanks chabby! Ya I realize sometimes putting her on the bed is better.. Anyway we brot her for her 6 in 1 jab 1st dose today and told doctor abt her condition. Found rumbling sounds in her tummy n deduce she has slight colic. Doctor gave her probiotics supplement hopefully she will get better in a weeks time.
Diapers
I am using pampers active baby so far so gd.. Been sticking with pamPers cos it's thinner and absorbent not too warm for the bb
Post pregnancy
I also manage to regain to my pre preg weight abt 2 mths after birth. But still hv flabby tummy Loh.. Did post natal massage and felt more toned. I haven heard of any stories abt massage but what some of u wrote sounds scary. Lucky mine is recommended de. My gynae recommend pilates to firm up e tummy might try gg after starting work.
