Hi Starfruit,
I also didn't know Dr Chua going away until I see her today.
Are you going to see her tomorrow? If yes, probably she will announce the news to you tomorrow.
She asked whether I want to be induced by next Fri or Sat.
I am still considering but very unlikely I will do it. And if ever I go into labour when she is not around, she suggested that I can either see Dr Paul Tseng or Dr Liauw.

V: I recommend the freestyle lah. since both also so exp. Freestyle more portable also. The medela saleslady told me both same suction just FS smaller and lighter.
I went for check up today and not dilate yet. Altho I wish bb will wanna come out these few days. :x

kaykay, can apply your own bm on your nipple then air dry. Like that will heal faster also.
Starfruit, you may want to consider seriously cause she will only be back on the 30th May which is over your edd already right?
My edd is 30th may which is the day she is back, I also wonder if bb can wait till then.
She never check for me if bb is engaged, only mentioned that bb head is down.

Both of us false alarm try but my gynae asked me wait till mon before deciding induce cos cervix nt diluted. Best to go natural and wait for body go natural. She dun encourage c section n I hope I dun hv to go thru that n induce too.
But no sound no picture except for the mucuous plug which is still leaking now.. Like light menses like that..only cramp or contraction at 6pm try once..she said shld get closer like 7 mins or huge gush of water then can admit
I also scared of needles Poking n all..pain pain...fren told me eipdural v pain..omh..
By the way I read some of u went to remove stitches, is that for the episotomy? It's nt self dissolving stitches? Must b painful!

starfruit, i dont wann use fridge-togo coz its basically a bag with all 6 sides of ice blocks inside. Basically the 6 ice blocks are put in the fridge to become ice and already weighs a ton before i even put any bottles EBM in. i just cant imagine myself carrying 6 ice blocks around. I prefer to travel light. So i prefer to carry the avent insulated bag with the 1 groved ice block in the centre which has contact w my medela bottles.
As for warming up EBM from fridge, say its 6 degrees coming out from fridge. boiling water at 100deg when put in a cup will become say 98 degress. it will take time for 6 degrees to rise up to 37degrees before we can serve. So thats the few seconds we're catching. I understand when u mean it may kill antibodies, i've tried before and when just boiled water poured fresh from kettle and bottled EBM goes in straight from fridge, i can see bubbles coming up so something must have happened. So NOT from fresh, just out from kettle if thats what u mean.
i find that when the quantities become more, like when baby is drinking 150ml, this effect becomes less, coz too much coldness around to protect the milk and it only affects those EBM around the side of the bottle, centre EBM is still cold. At this time, some people say warmer is slower. coz warmer will now take longer time to warm up 15sec to the required heat for the 150ml. by that time, baby scream until sore throat liao, so i stuck to my hot water, pop in bottle method which is faster.
Sh, u can try to buy a rocker. i'm using fisher price rocker and she can sleep for 3-4 hours in the day becoz if the wrap around effect that's like somebody carrying her. may buy u some precious time to rest.
Janice, not to worry about induce. my no1 was induced w forceps. they will give u a pill inserted in V (not painful) to ripen the cervix. then u sleep and wait. Once u dilate to certain cm, u can ask for epidural (i call it Happidural) and dont feel anything except pins and needles from hips to toes. Doc say push u just push. epidural side effects may be shivering or vomitting. (i didnt vomit for #1 but #2 yes)
if anthestist put low like 1.5-2, thats the lowest dial for epidural , u can adjust your body left right to let the epi flow evenly throughout the body so u dont feel contraction pain. If u still feel pain, they can up the dial to even 10, of which u dont feel contracttion and just push based on gynaes cue (all u get is pins and needles).
Besides that, i dont remmeber any needles leh.
Dolly, growth spurt occurs on 7th-10th day, 2nd-3rdweek, 4th-6th week. They will drink fast and fussy. Just bear through the period. more info on http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/baby/fussy-while-nursing.html

Chk with the mummies here.. Any of u hv menses like discharge before giving birth? Yest I have this slight water n pink discharge dripping n gynae said mucous plug so normal to hv brownish stain after that. If water bag burst or contractions every 7 mins, go labour ward during non office hrs. If nt go c her. But how abt having menses like that?

Yes, sunflower you are correct. 20% for members. I even got a free GoWell mag. 15% for public.
Bunnymummy, agree with with Apple. Epi is the best invention I think when I was in the midst of intense pain. Instant relief ! But I hate the shivers and vomitting. I still don't have contraction yet. Gynae said my cervix already open 2-3cm last check. Still pondering to admit or not.

Bunnymummy, a bit anti-climax right?
I think I must be quite a pest to my gynae. Kept calling her to ask should admit or not? Even she was expecting a fast delivery for me this round but things seemed to come to a stall. :0
How are other mummies doing? Today a quiet day so far...

Morning mummies,
I m pumping milk rite nw.. Hehe
little fly, bunnymum: I can understand is torturing to wait for tat contraction to happen as I was e same for me then.. I guess my gynae didn't break e waterbag big enuf for all e water to flow out, hence my contraction was so slow n at times seems to subside aso.. Lucky my midwife helped me 2 break further until shows came then everything was faster.. Tis #3 delivery took me abt 4hrs while my 2nd 1 only 2hrs.. But I can say waiting is all worth it when u see ur little bundle.. All e best!!

kaykay, cannot eat chicken during confinement? Confinement got chicken dishes leh. It's believed tat dishes esp chicken wine helps to nourish the mummy and circulate the blood within the body leh... my cousins all asked me to take more and it's believed to be very "bu" for our family side.
little fly, diluated 2-3cm? envy leh. Mine diluated 1cm 2weeks and seem "stop". Yesterday contractions was getting intense tat walking also painful but ard 10pm, it went away.. arrugh. I give up liao... not going to think abt it and really sian going to the clinic every 2 or 3 days for CTG and being told tat readings doesn't show contractions or mild. I have an appt on 18 May for CTG and VE (my 4th checks liao) and nothing progress by then, i will not be going for CTG till labours kicks in.

Janice, if contractions 5 mins, it's better to go to hospital now esp if u opting for epi later. Not necessary waterbags will burst leh. Better be on the safe side.. btw, it's raining heavily now.. call the ambulances if need to.

Bubble, which day of confinement now? I was told xo chic or pork tonic can only take after day 12 onwards..
Oh I got same prob on how to deal w hua jiao, medical hall guy teach me take a small bowl, fill up water u rinse the Hua jiao then soak overnite in the fridge then take out 2hrs before boiling..use the water together to boil the soup for another 4-5hrs. It works this way [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] the hua jiao will melt in e soup.

I only did one CTG so far. I worry a slow but long labor then very sianz.
