Gerry - Thanks for the info! GD is a weird thing. One of my friends is super healthy and slim (even during preg) but had GD despite regular exercise. Bb came out a good (i.e. not big) size (2.9kg) because she exercised portion control, on the advice of her gynae (who happens to be your gynae actually!). She thinks it's cos there is diabetes in the family. Another friend also kena and she was also very disciplined (so bb only 3kg). The reason I think I might have gotten it was that diabetes runs in the family. But thankfully, not yet. I had OGTT to be sure but results were normal.

Hi mummies
Just a question, when we are admitted to the hospital with the admission form on the day itself , will the gynae check and scan the bb first or straightaway we go to the delivery ward to deliver le?

I think I rem my doc commenting abt my weight and GD (gained about near 20kg) I am overweight btw...Maybe he felt could be harmful to bb growth that y I need to induce,My gp also told me before that GD can retard bb growth at late pregnancy too...All these could be the reasons but maybe I was not properly informed?

Hi Gerry,
Thank you for your reply.
Hi Yolk Salk,
I am not doing total breastfeeding - doing partial breastfeeding due to my medical condition. I am doing 3hrs for her feeding as she has jaundice...At night I also woke up to feed her..However, sometimes, not reaching her 3 hrs, she will cry for milk and I will just give but she will not drink much....First time mummy so does not know if I am doing the correct feeding procedure....
Hi Piggy,
I can understand your feelings...As a parent, we will always worry for our children. The worst will be over soon. Hugs! Everything will be fine....

So fast your turn Liao! Your bb is 3.7kg at 39 weeks n ur gynae let you induce ah? Mine is 3.4-3.5kg at 37+weeks n my gynae dun really like the idea of inducing. He'd rather I do csec than induce. But then, Jiayou! You'll most prob see your bb tmr!
Weather very hot... Drinking gong cha now cuz I scared this weekend will give birth...

Yolk sac,
Yes if your family has diabetes, then the chance will be higher.. Actually I know of people who eat a lot of sweet stuff, also didn't get gdm.. Genetics play quite a bit part when it comes to diabetes..
Haha!! My gynae likes healthy patients I think.. She likes to tell me to cut down this and that one.. But I like her.. =)
Rene,
Have a smooth delivery!!

Austin,
Oh.. I think if you are worried, the best person to ask is your gynae.. Tell him your worries and ask him to clarify..
Just now heard a horror story about delivery.. My friend delivered on x'mas day. Her water bag broke and went into labour.. But no matter how hard she pushed, bb didn't want to come out.. And bb's heartbeat was dropping.. Dr kept wondering why?!? Apparently she pushed for quite a while.. Then in the end had to do emergency c-sect.. Once cut, realized cord was around bb's neck!!! That's why bb cannot come out and was probably strangling the bb when bb wants to come out!!!! Omg!!! And the bill was $7000 after medisave deduction!!! She delivered at raffles..

Elmo.. my boy’s jaundice is 130 after today review.. the last check on last Thurs is 163. still have to go back for another review next Monday cos doc hoping level is below 100 by then.. what abt Joel’s jaundice level?
Yoti.. my boy is currently feeding on either EBM or FM ard 70-80ml per 2-3 hrs so I would say is more of his demand.. today I realize that if he is on EBM, he will ask for milk every 2hrs or less.. but if FM, he will only ask every 3hrs.. so wondering is it normal? Is it becos BM is more watery so easily digest by his tummy..

Wow so many mummies delved today! Congratulations to all! I'm wondering when is my turn?
Started the first day of my maternity leave today and I spent it great! Went to collect herbs for confinement, buy some stuff, had the luxury to eat a nice lunch slowly, without rushing to work nor anyone else bugging me. Could shop slowly and compare the various products and finally made my choice on what to buy. Haven't had such a slow pace life for so long! My reflux and gastric problem are not so serious today too, which is great!
Only thing is I walk really slowly, dragging my stomach along. Can't wait to deliver, but also haven't really enjoyed enough. What a dilemma!

Vivi, u're lucky.. Hope my cervix open after water bag breaks too! I dun think I can go on drip coz it will cause too strong contractions. Doc say will endanger baby when I already have low amniotic fluid.
Rene, good luck too! Think we all need to pyscho our cervix to open.. Haha..
Btw I'll be admitting to tmc tml morn at 7am.. Seems like a lot of us will be at tmc tml..whether it's given birth or gg to give birth.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Mummies.. Would like to check. Is it possible to add a scoop of fm into my ebm for my boy to drink? Cos I realize the ebm dun seem v full for him. He will wail for more milk after 1-2hr after drinking ebm.. So wondering if I would to add a scoop of ebm to make it thicker, is it ok? Btw, is our ebm v watery kind? Pls advice.. Thanks in advance [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hippo,
Wah yup the whitish stuff is milk and the yellow thick stuff is the colostrum.. Good job!! Keep latching and pumping!! Most bb very lazy de.. Try to wake bb up and put her to your breast all the time..
Mrs CHUA,
It's normal to have feeds every 1-2 hrs in the first month.. Ebm is watery but it is substantial for baby.. Don't add fm.. Cos that would only reduce your baby's need for ebm.. And might reduce your supply.. Please try not to follow the rule that baby will feed every 3 hrs.. Most of my friends who are TBF feed their baby every 1-2 hrs.. That's how your bb work to increase your supply.. They are working very hard to get the milk they need..

Mrs CHUA,
Bm is meant for baby and fm is made from cow's milk.. Human milk for human baby.. Some babies when latched will feed for long.. And their interval between feeding may be long.. My girl was a grazer.. Drank very often.. I think most impt is to observe baby and see whether they are happy after each feed.. See whether they produce enough wet diapers
And observe their skin. An undernourished dehydrated baby will have wrinkled loose skin.. And check the hole on the forehead.. A shunken one will indicate dehydration..
Bm is easily digested by bb therefore they might feed more often than fm fed baby.. But that's cos they can efficiently digest and absorb more nutrients from bm.. Usually for fm, you need to feed more cos they don't absorb as much nutrients per vol..

Elmo.. I go in the morn. Polyclinic advice during 1st check up that for jaundice check, best do b4 11am or 3pm. So I bring him in the morn, reach ard 10+.. u? Actually any diff between the timing for such jaundice check.. Or is it becos they need to send the blood for test so that is y got cut off timing?
