Winwin- well done! Your efforts paid off!
Piggy- re fenugreek, check the dosage and concentration on the bottle. My Jack Newman book says that if you can, find a formulation that has fenugreek and blessed thistle. Or maybe take plain fenugreek and milk thistle separately?

Vivi, you can put 1 pad if you comfy.. 2 pads is more for e cushion. I also feeling faint n dizzy 1st few days.. Think lack of food and blood. Try to eat alot alot to bu back. Diet can wait after confinement!
Mrs chua, you go poly can ask doc abt e flu rite? So small dunno can take med. Hope e antibodies in ur bm will take effect soon.
I'm holding Joel's full mth on 24th Apr. Which is my CL's last day too. Think I'll extend CL for at least 1 or 2 days more. If not v hectic after tt. I dunno can handle bb alone when CL gone anot!

hippo,
you are welcome...and i believe you can overcome it. Wish you a smooth delivery tml. Rest well today and don't think so much.
One thing good about this forum is the support that we got from mummmies here.. who knows i may need the support from you gals when is nearer to mine delivery... worst still i'm a first time mum, definitely a lot of thing will go thru me after delivery...
juz want to check, heard that is good for NB to wear other ppl's bb clothing when NB discharged from hospital to go home. Does any mummy practice that? or can give NB new set of clothing to wear home?

Yolksac,
Seriously, I dun think the gas helped much with the pain at all. It just takes your mind of it. Sort of makes you high. So you can still feel the pain but you're too high to do anyhing about it. I remember screaming into the mask coz of the pain but then drifting off once the contraction passed. But ultimately, I guess some form of relief is better than none. If I din have the gas, will be more jialat coz will be alert when the pain sets in. It's good for tiding you thru the contractions if you wanna try for no epi.
LittleTwinStar,
When it's time to push, the nurses took the gas away so totally no pain relief. The pain from the pushing and the head coming out was so immense that by the time the doc was stitching me up, I could't feel anything liao. Just have the sensation of thread going in and outta of you but no pain. Must be numb liao...
The pushing of the head out was like a case of stomachache gone really wrong.. I think my screams must have freaked out the other mummies in the other delivery wards...But once the baby comes out, the feeling is super duper shiok coz you feel the whole baby slipping outta you.

Ya, I'm v heart ache to see my boy like this, so young start to cough & hv flu. previously i'm having flu & cough, i wonder is it becos i pass the virus to him or wat others say, dun drink cold drinks when u r preg, will pass to the baby de.. The other day I went to poly for his jaundice review, the doc say not giving any medication cos too young.. So can onli apply some Vicks on his chest to smooth his breathing lo.. Jus hope my boy get well fast fast, if nt I c Le, v heart ache lo..
Ya, he will curl himself up no matter sun bathing or sleeping.. Hubby scare will afraid his sleeping podium so ask me put him on cot to slp but my pert as 1st time grand parent say, put cot sleep v hot, day time slp this way cooling & won't affect his body de la etc etc.. Furthermore he is young now, so confirm will slp like this la & got pple to take care now, nvm la.. Haizz.. Starting to give me doubts if I wan to continue let them help me take care of my boy when I goes back to work..
My boy clothing which mostly given by friends are new born de.. But they were those romper kind.. My mummy dun wan to wear this for my boy saying his head now so fragile so difficult to wear those.. She prefer those like shirt kind which I got onli a few so my boy is wearing those repeatly as if he dun hv much clothing..
Piggy.. U oso having in 22/4 & 23/4? Which catering u gonna get? My sil recommend Neo garden & glory.. She say food not bad.. Den as for cakes, we thinking of giving bengawansolo vouchers instead cos scare food will b spoil & using vouchers, can use to buy any thing from there.
Ur #1 already know how to flip at 2 weeks old? I think my boy oso trying cos he will turn to flip to the side as if reaching for something..
Ya.. I oso think pumping or bf takes up too much time.. Every 2-3 hrs need to pump, though each pump is abt 20-30 min but still got lots of other stuff to do leh.. Find time oases v v fast each day lo.. Haizz furthermore my milk supply v low lo, each pump onli 20-40ml..

hippo,
ya.. i agree with what you said.. tok to them, they also don't understand or don't know how to comfort us or maybe think we think too much... then when we manage to find a medium (this forum) to let out our stress and get support from, they said we are addicted to it...
actually i also heard of those old wives tales... so it's all right for bb to wear new clothing back home rather than wear those ppl passed down one? coz i wanted to let him wear those I buy one leh... coz i only bought a few as there are passed down clothing.. so doesn't really matter when he wear new clothing, when he wear passed down clothing right?

(in the end, can't finish still) [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Piggy,

Make birds nest and sugar cane drink for you.. Just ren!! When your #1 comes back, just enjoy the moment with him.. =)

is like that one.. when they see us on computer most of the time, they said we addicted... then they play computer game, can lah. you can ask him to try to find fatherhood forum but then even if have, i dun think guy can tok so freely like us gal.
Just now i even told my HB (coz he everyday also play game till sometime i also get so frustrated), if after i delivery already, he still concentrate more on his game rather than his son and wife, he'll get it from me

The milk bag like so wasteful leh. Cannot defrost then pour out bit by bit meh? Then hor.. I forgot to squeeze out e air.. Now frozen le.. I dunno e bag will burst anot! Think i will defrost 1 bag next weekend when #1 is home.. To see if it'll leak. Then remaining can add to #1's milk!

Wow, your supply is not bad at all! Glad the fenugreek is working for you. I'm sure you'll be at 100ml soon. I took it all the way from six hours after giving birth until my No 1 was about 8 or 10 weeks' old and never had supply issues.
Elmo and Piggy
This question used to stress me out too. I think one method is to freeze in portions that make sense. For example, at this stage, maybe each bag or bottle should only contain say 60ml of milk. That way, you can defrost the whole serving and there will be little or no wastage. Whereas if you store 200ml in one vessel, bb may not be able to finish all.
Adel
I did use air and gas for my first labour, from 7cm to pushing. I did find that it helped take the edge of the contractions, though it still hurt. I did not get high on it though. I think my doula was very good about coaching me how to use it properly. Glad it worked well for you! You were great to go without pain relief during stitching. For me, I asked for LA.
Vonn: Oh no! I hate that evening crying thing. The ang mohs call it the "witching hour" when bb is especially fussy. Hope it's not colic! Maybe just bb settling into the new routine at home. Fingers crossed for you.

Fenugreek - I don't think you need to worry about overdosing on fenugreek. As a starting point, follow the dosage guidelines on your bottle and drink lots of water. See if that helps to increase your supply. If not, can gradually increase a bit. One book I've read says that you need to take so much that you can smell the spice/herb on your skin a bit. I don't think I ever reached that stage, but my friend said her husband could actually smell a difference on her!

Can I say it? Please please, can I say it? OK -
I TOLD YOU SO!!!
I told you that once you meet Parsley, everything will change. Suddenly you have this little thing and you will do anything to take care of her and protect her. And she will just become more and more fun. Soon you'll be able to do mummy-daughter stuff with her (my No 1 likes to go for manicures with me!) and chat about funny things, and you'll wonder how you ever thought you didn't want kids. It really is amazing, and I'm so so happy you're experiencing all this [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] It's a special journey, babe, and you've set off on it already. Remember that through all the trying times, late nights, lack of sleep, painful blocked ducts, etc.

Hi ladies, just to keep you posted that I have delivered. Kai Lynn was born on 31 Mar 11 (induced) after a 12 hour labor. Didn't feel any pain throughout the whole process as I was on epidural. Am however recovering from a bad case of piles (think I must have accidentally pushed the wrong muscles =P)
Doing my best to produce more milk but have only been able to secrete some colostrum so far. Quite a frustrating process for both baby and mummy. Finally gave up last night and bought a can of Similac Gold to simultaneously feed baby while waiting for the real milk supply to come in..

Fungfung,
I prefer baby to wear nice new clothes when going out.Most of d hand me downs clothes that I got for newborn r quite old n worn. Anyway, I'm wondering,old wives tale say wear hand me down clothes baby will b guai BUT what if d clothes came from a naughty baby? hehe
hi piggy,
usually I'll fill d milk bag to d max(with alloance for expansion) freeze. Then few hours before feeding, bring it to d normal compartment to de-froze.I'll put d bag in a big cup of water so that d frozen milk can de-froze faster. N when almost all d in liquid form, gently shake abit of mix d milk evenly before pouring out d quantity that I want to use for feeding.
Sometimes if I have odd quantity balance left, I'll mix it w d milk that I pump for d day but both have to be same temp,meaning d normal compartment temp.
Usually after I pump out milk, I'll put in milk bottle in normal compartment n if unused for 48hrs, trf to milk bag n freeze.
Regarding fernugreek,my gf took before n she said d milk smells like maple syrup n thou supply is more,it looks diluted.
Btw,sufficient rest is very impt for generating milk.Coz I realize if I didn't have enuf rest,my milk supply will b lesser. Drinking plenty of fluid is also impt,try to drink some warm drink before pumping.
Mrs chua,
wah 2 days full mth celebration is going to b tiring! Luckily my in laws n parents r not fussy to hold full mth celebration. I can't imagine having to clear d mess n to finish d catering food.
What cakes r u going to colleagues? Previously I used Choz confectionary n bengawan solo vouchers but thinking if there r other options. I still like Choz but don't know if it's too traditional for my current colleagues.

Hi mommies!!
I forgot who was asking about milk bags. Was it jojo? I found them at Robinson today. The 125 per pack, not the 140s one. Cost $16.50 with 20% off. Not a bad deal!
For those who still have to stock up on stuff, Robinson is still having their 20% nursery sale and for cardmembers, you get a $25 voucher on every $150 purchase. Can be used to offset immediately. Was told it will be till mid of the month.
pinkparsley
I did speedread. Did you have problems with parsley's feeding? Some babies are just born small eaters. My #1 was 3percentile and we went to soooooo many PDs. PArdon me if I read your posts incorrectly!
Who is popping tomorrow?!
To those that I missed out, COngratulations and rest well!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Err.. I wanna ask. How come cannot pour some out of e milk bag for 1 feed.. Then reseal then next feed pour out again? I already got 800ml of frozen milk in e fridge le! Storage will become a headache!
Mrs chua, you just recovered from flu so ur milk will have e antibodies mah.. Hope can take effect on ur boy soon!

ningyo, thks for e tips! Tt's wat i was thinking of doing. Tt means can pour out.. Reseal then next feed pour again? defrozed milk can only keep in fridge for 24 hrs har? Heng now got #1.. If milk cant use up in time still can mix with his fm. Hehe. Just now i pour 20ml of excess milk into #1's milk.. He cant detect.. Wonder if my antibodies still can pass to #1 through e bm anot?

You can do it that way too.. At least that was what I did.. I froze 200ml per bag.. Then if I want to use it, I will thaw it in the fridge the night before and next day, will pour out accordingly over several feeds.. Once thaw, must be used within 24 hour.. And 200ml will be finished up in no time..
Mrs CHUA,
Thanks.. I am really trying to tahan.. There are moments where inducing seems soo tempting!! Haha!!

Cannot reseal thawed frozen milk?
Hmmm I usually freeze my milk in 50/100/150/180ml depending on baby's consumption. I like to freeze in 100ml so that depending on how many feeds I need, usually I will spilt the bags into diff feeds. As long as use within 24hrs right?
The last LC I had told me that fenugeek have to be taken 3 or 4 pills every 6-8hrs to be effective. She is practicing professionally leh. I can't rem the exact dosage, but its much higher than what is recommende and I find that its effective.

Hmm Was told by CL that its ok to be in aircon room, but cannot have fan. So pls pls pls dun have fan blowing directly at you.
As for bathing and washing hair, I think it depends on individual lah. My CLs all encourage me to bathe too as long as I use herbs and don't catch a cold and dry my hair well. For hygiene's sake!
totoro BB, the bags for PISA is just a different way of carrying the pump.
Mrs Chua,
Mdm Emma do massage or only clearing of block ducts?
