Mrs Chua, hang in there! People should realize that you are doing your best and cut you some slack. I agree with PD that latching is a top way to boost supply. Bb is the best breast pump ever! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] yes, if you use Medela lanolin, can just leave it on - safe for bb. Take care.
Piggy, yeah so far so good. Gynae will come and check me tomorrow. I've already had many pees and one poo without issue so should be ok. Thanks for the reassurance!
Pearly, yes, it's a new room. I quite like it. No complaints lah. You want me to visit you tomorrow? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif])

Pearly:'i'm sorry you have to go through all this while you have just given birth. Just have faith that god/nature/fate has a way of working this out. Focus now on healing well and do the best that you can do when you can.
Yolk sac: congrats! You did it!
Mrs chia: I can imagine what you are going through. Sometimes I only realize what kind of mum I really have until I became a mother myself. For your case I think because they think they are older, they are more experienced and feel they have more authority. But pink is right. The boy is your child and you have the right to do why you want to do. just remember the situation you are in is temporary. Not lie some other pple who live with their parents/in laws all the time so Hang in there.

G'morning ladies,
Mrs CHUA,
I don't how I did it.. I guess I was super determined.. And for me FM wasn't an option.. Unless I was sick or for some other medical reason.. I read up alot.. And I felt that all mummies will have enough for their own babies.. I mean our ancestors manage to survive back in those days with no FM.. We must be also be genetically able to give bm..
I was super tired.. But for at least the first month, I basically just latch and rest while my mom and hb helped with the other things.. As for the pain, I tahan.. Sometimes to make latching bearable, I would watch tv, read magazines or books.. I always though latching is the easy/lazy option.. Don't have to assemble anything, wash anything and or warm anything.. Hehe!! =)
I think ( and this is just my personal opinion.. Hopefully no one gets offended) when you get too fixated on the volume of milk u can pump, you lose the bigger picture.. That breastfeeding will bring you closer to your newborn.. The bond/intimacy between you and your newborn is what will drive you to want to continue breastfeeding and what will stimulate/increase milk supply for your child.. A pump isn't and will never be the same as the baby.. A pump is meant for when mummy and baby are separated for some reason but mommy and baby are together.. =)
As for warming bm, please don't put it in hot water.. It will destroy all the antibodies/nutrients instantly and that again will defeat the purpose of pumping.. Should warm it in body temp ( the pigeon food warmer has a 40 degree option)..

Pearly,
I am so sorry about your father and mil.. This must be a tough time for you.. If you need to talk, just come into the forum.. =)
Bbgoh,
Ya super Xian.. Gynae said giving birth will resolve the problem.. Sigh.. So really hoping by next week will give birth.. If not I am so going to scratch my skin out!! Is your puppp slowly disappearing?? Like all the marks and rash??
I use the ameda pump.. So what I would do is once the vacuum is on, I would use my entire one arm to hold the pump to my breast(like across my body.. Just press the pump to my boobs) and the other free hand to massage one breast.. Then change hand..

Thx ladies for the comforting words.. I'm really touched.. Will do my best to wait out this tough period of time & do my best for my hubby & kids.. I guess that achieving this would take all my effort & attention, hopefully enough to keep me from thinking too much.. After crying few times last night, i feel better, i hope.. But my hubby will b able to tell later cos my eyes like goldfish.. Later he sure poke fun at me.. =x
Yolk sac, i'll b up and around hospital cos need to finish up all the registration/baby admission (nothing was done cos was busy) then gotta check out before 12noon.. Maybe if u're awake before my hubby's here, i can walk over to see u for a while.. But i look like ghost sia.. Haven't had energy to bathe yet.. xD..
Btw, during your stay here, please don't miss out the toasted sandwich from the vending machine downstairs! Chicken parmesan flavor.. I'm hungry already.. Maybe go buy again.. =x
Thanks again to everyone here.. Was really comforted..

2nd time mummies - Did you feel the uterine contraction cramps while/after BFding? How bad were they? How long do they last?? Mine are definitely there, more uncomfortable than with No 1 but haven't taken painkillers yet.
bbgoh: Yeah I know, but I woke up to feed bb and then after that, could not sleep - still high on adrenaline from the birth lah! hopefully tonight will get better rest. anyway, nurse is pleased with bb's progress, he's had three poos since birth and some wet diapers. nurse says he's definitely getting colostrum - hope so lah
pearly: haha thanks for the tip! will def check out the sandwich! don't worry abt visiting me lah...I look bad! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
gerry: I admire your perseverance to TBF. I TBF-ed for 6 months and BF-ed for 15 months with No 1, hoping to do the same for No 2, but who knows? Fingers crossed for a gd start. I'm also not a huge fan of pumping.
AMK Gal: Wow, exciting! Jia yo! Maybe your epidural didn't provide full coverage. Are you ok tolerating the pain? If so, can just leave it as it is so you can feel the urge to push. Hopefully your labour won't take much longer. Really excited for you!
Sookie: Thanks gal!

Looks like there are a few of us who are going thru a tough time.. I was very depressed last night too.. Felt very sick.. Still coughing.. N my uti makes peeing very painful.. I'm so tired that I can't latch on as much.. Feel like I'm missing out on the bonding.. It's painful for me to get out of bed coz my muscles started to ache badly
Also cried and cried.. So depressed that I cannot carry her as much as i'd wanted to. Still worried if shes getting enough milk n whether she will gain weight at next PD's check up. So stressed.
Pearly: so sorry to hear that so many events happened at the same time for u. Ur dad n mil are in hospital n the doctors n nurses will take care of them well. Jia you! Everything will be fine
Mrs Chua: think u must be very tired .. Latching on n pumping n trips to Kkh n polyclinic.. Jia you. I also don't understand how other mummies can rest.. There's always something or other to do when baby is sleeping

Don't cry! Try to rest if your wound is painful. You can carry her later after you have recovered.
Yolk
I felt the contractions cramp very badly for #2. In fact even when not BFing, the cramp is horrendous!!
Pearly
*hugs* Will pray for your dad n mil. Meanwhile pls pls pls take good care of yourself yah?
Gerry
Its true, after giving birth the rashes will be gone! But I needed special cream to get rid of the existing ones. Thankfully, it only happened for my 1st birth. Last pregnancy and this I did not have any.
Mrs Chua
Take care, your boy will recover soon! Be positive! During confinement its very easy to cry as we are more emotional.
Don't worry about the dripping milk, its a good sign isn't it? By massaging you will get more milk!
Michelle
Good that your gynae is pro-natural. Jia you! I wish my baby can be bigger!

Pearl, aiya.. I going TMC... If not can go find u. lol..
Bbgoh,
Yes cannot put in hot water.. It's called heat shock and will cause all the proteins and antibodies to lose it's function.. If you don't have a food warmer maybe you can prepare lukewarm water??
Hehe!! That's why I say latching is the lazy way out..
When I went back to work, my mom would warm the milk about 20 mins before feeding my girl..
Yes I would use full vacuum until I achieve let-down and then reduce power..but remember I only started pumping 3 months post partum.. But I guess since it is the first month, nipples would probably be more sensitive.. So just adjust till comfortable I guess..
Yolk sac,
You too have lots of perseverance!! Breastfeed for so long!! Haha!! I only breastfed Lisa till she was about 10 months... Then it was an amicable spilt.. Hehe!! She started losing interest and I was more than happy to get my boobs back.. But breastfeeding is surely very rewarding!! the funny thing is when I come home from work, no matter how tiring the day was, I was always eager to latch Lisa on.. Haha!! I am sure you can do it this time round!! In fact maybe this time might be longer!! =)

Bbgoh, gin,
I am so glad it will go away.. It really looks quite horrendous.. My legs and arms don't have the rashes but got like red patches everywhere.. Arghzz

Yolk Sac: Me! i get it pretty bad and I am still on pain killers. i was telling my gynae how come the cramps are so bad? it was really disturbing.. and yesterday I felt i could not even walk properly for a while. he told me its normal esp for subsequent births and it can even go on for weeks!
Pink: don't be upset. its really the hormones coupled with other things thats getting you down. don't worry about "losing" the bonding time with your gal since you can't latch now. You have your whole life to bond with her and once things get on track, you can latch back on again. Its good that you can latch on.. cause not many can so look forward to the "end of the tunnel"! Also, i know its hard, since you are a first time mom but stressing now is not good for anything or anyone. As long as baby is still responsive, not vomitting or look violently ill, i'm sure your baby is fine!
Amk Gal: Good luck!
Tweety: how are you? any progress so far?
sob... i'm still suffering from sore and bleeding nipples.. i really wonder why my baby cannot latch properly..

Good morning mommies.
It seems like moms here are going thru tough times. But they don't last, so be strong ya.
Pearly
Sorry to hear about your dad and mil. What happened to your mil happened to my grandmother a year ago. Don't worry too much. You still have to be strong for your bb and your dad + mil. I'm sure they wouldn't want you to be sad as well. Stay strong k babe.
Mrs chua
I know if bb falls sick, we as mommies will feel the ache more than anyone but I'm sure your bb will get better as you take tender loving care of him. It won't be long before he recover and be a strong boy again.
Pink
Hang in there ok. I know the last thing a mom wants is to be detached from her own child... Be strong, Jiayou and recover well, then you'll be able to latch bb C again. If things get a bit too painful, maybe you would want to take painkillers? Do rest well and get someone to help out while you rest now... You'll be okay in no time.
Be strong for your babies, mommies. I'm trying to be for my bb and I'm sure all of you can do it too. Let us all Jiayou together, April mommies!

Hello Mummies!
I am also having an April baby. The EDD is 16th April 2011. My husband and I are thinking of inducing the labour this weekend.
May I know if anyone has induced their delivery before and how is it like?
Is there any risks involved in inducing the baby?
On one hand, I am excited to see my baby. On the otehr hand, I am worried that if inducing it is unsuccessful, I will end up having an emergency c-section.
Really hope you ladies would be able to better advise me in this area.
Thank you!

elmo: for space efficiency, best to freeze it lying down.if it leaks means you did not secure the bag properly.
little twin star
i also haven pop and waiting for the little one to come out. he's too obedient already, really want to wait till EDD to come out. Either that or he's unwilling to come out cuz he knows once he's out, there will be no more good food. only milk n milk everyday. but im getting impatient already grrrr.

i cant share any experience on inducing with you cuz i haven gone through it before.. but i know induction is more painful than natural delivery, takes longer than natural delivery and if induction fails, emergency c-sec is needed. my EDD is just one day after you. Initially, I wanted to induce too but my gynae advised that for me, induce has no difference from c-sec cuz my cervix hasnt open yet. did your gynae say that your cervix is soft or dilated already?

Hi mummies
Have given birth to baby Austin last night at 1.20am. He is 2.7kg. Used epidural , really kudo to those who din used epidural, my epidural was given very last min, so I experienced the real pain as well which was tramatic. Was in labor for six hours

Baby kow/ mrs chua: yes I find my freestyle leak too, also cos I didn't press it harder to my breast. And also I realize cannot lean backwards when pumping, will waste alot if precious drops, only can lean forward. Then with csec wound and binder on, lean forward quite uncomfortable leh. Any mummies have good tips?
elmo
im much better already. after all the support from you mommies, i think i need to be strong for my bb. also, after pouring everything out to my hb that night, he became much more supportive and made extra effort to listen/talk to me. and im trying to take my mind off things by listening to songs on youtube and task myself to tidy up my room + fix up the bottle sterilizer later so i'll be occupied today.
