Hi mummies,
I'm also a July mother with expected delivery on the 16 July.
But according to gynae, I might give birth in week 37 or 38. *excited*
I would like to ask if pelvic pain meant that baby has engaged? I had this pain these few days. Not sure if I have overwalked or due to baby being engaged. Anyone knows?

rose>> the other thing you can try after delivery.. is to make quick boil soup with baby spinach (苋菜).. eat the veg and drink the soup.. it help me last time when i have my first..
and lots other friend also have effect on this.. easy to buy and easy to make.. and taste good

I was a bit scare yesterday when i had v. bad constipation at the office.. i even bleed quite badly.. at first i so scare i might hv try too hard till I force baby out cuz the bleeding.. then quickly check and found blood only from the back not the front.. feel more relief.. after that feel a bit dizzy.. think loose some blood.. ;P
tomorrow meeting gynae will tell her abt that.. scary experience

Rose> One thing I learned from my #1 and my experienced sister, always think you have milk. I didn't have much milk but I'll just latch whenever #1 wanted. Dont' listen to others, esp those aunties, who will tell you that you don't have enough milk, just supplement with formula. It's the theory of demand and supply, just latch and you'll have more milk! Even my own mother made me so upset. You'll need to communicate with your husband first cos he'll get very worried and frustrated when the newborn cries for milk. Great determination and support needed from husband!
Chujie> I have the same problem when pregnant cos I pushed too hard when poo poo and can see fresh blood. My gynae didn't really care as it's quite common. Try to be gentle and have more patience. I was rushing as #1 was screaming and I pushed too hard! hahaha

lucky3>> I agree with you.. don't listen to those aunties and even mom and mil when they insist you don't have enough milk.. they always said.. baby cry so freq.. your milk cannot make them full.. must supplement with formula..
But bm is known to be easy digest.. and it is common that they will demand more frequently.. and bm is also known to be best compare to any formula.. esp our antibodies will pass on to them even before we have the illness symptoms (e.g. flu or cough).. so the baby tends to be much stronger
I insist feeding my boy fully bm.. after I go back to work.. night time i insist direct latch to make sure I have enough stimulation too.. that can help sustain the milk supply.. some how express only not that helpful..
regardingly pile.. ya.. I push too hard.. hehe.. so scary when I saw the fresh blood.. lucky no more bleeding afterward.. God bless.. now.. just waiting for the popping sign soon.. but hope not this week as husband not around.. hehe
will be going for check up later this afternoon.. hope I still can go for natural with the scan result.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Dear Mummies
I'm from the April Mummy Thread.
I have a brand new unopen can of Dumex Mamex Gold (1.6kg) willing to let go at $60. Its normal price at NTUC is $72+.
Reason is I'm changing formula for my baby boy. Do note that the expiry date for this tin is 10 Nov 2012
Pls PM me if interested & we can arrange the pick-up details then. Preferable along NEL MRT stations.

Chujie & Lucky3>> Thanks for all ur tips and advices ;D Appreciate it very much!!! I'm really hoping to bm fully this time my #1 that time really gave up easily [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] no support from family & hubby that time.. I really felt very bad.. Specially when engorged that time dunno wat to do.. Then went to my gynae & she told me to go parentcraft to help me first.. Wa really it was a nightmare that time the sister there massage my breast like nobody's business.. I cried a lot !!! Then in the end she told me to go back to my gynae with a letter. Then my gynae referred me to a breast specialist in Mt E.. That one more nightmare coz the doctor extracted my bm using syringe!!! Worst have to pay in total $ 500+ inclusive of scan. That made me decide to give up... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Now, i for full support from my hubby.. He bought me mxxxxa pump some more coz he read that it will help I'm crossing my fingers
Chujie, quick boil means very quick only?? And do I need to add seasoning??? After delivery means right after delivery?? Or when reach home ??? Hehe
U try to eat lots of fibre.. Fruits and yoghurt helps for me cannot push so hard also la.. Later ur baby come out.. Just like my mom when she gave birth to my brother... Luckily she felt it then mu dad quickly called the doctor and my mom gave birth at our house..Hehe
Btw, when is I'd EDD?

rose>> quick boil means not the few hours boil.. you can cook the soup base with meat first.. then when you want have you dinner, just boil the veg till it soften lor.. but still green colour la.. if not lose vit C.
On the other hand, you can put the veg into your noodle soup to cook together..
Don't drink too early.. actually quite cooling.. after confinement also ok..
Regarding FB, they are currently too busy.. cuz many mom just given birth on the same day yesterday..
What are both of you's FB name.. I might drop them a line

ya..... 1 by 1 popping out. so excited. think they will approve once they log in FB happening there do join July mummies
happening there do join July mummies Rose> Jiayou! If you have any problems with breastfeeding, PM me, provided I'm not in hospital. I'll be doing c-section on 8 July.
Regarding the engorgement, all thanks to my sister who told me way beforehand (she fully breastfeed four kids, last two twins!).
1) First 3 days or so no milk
2) Then milk slowly comes in
3) Starts to get engorgement. Last time my LC taught me to massage and squeeze out some milk by hand so that it's not so painful and easier for baby to suckle or pump. She even got my husband to massage for me becos he has more strength. (You can imagine the scene and my mum was standing next to us!)
You can also put cold cabbage leaves (unwashed) to ease the engorgement but only twice a day or else end up no milk. Or, use the pump every 3 hours to relieve the engorement.
4) After engorgement, the milk supply will start to go down as the body thought you don't need that much milk. THIS IS THE CRUCIAL STAGE! As your supply goes down, baby start crying for milk frequently. Many people thought you don't have enough milk and ask you to give up. If you just persist and continue latching, the supply will come back after days, or even weeks. It took me almost three months to get good supply and I didn't use formula milk at all.
Remember demand and supply!

lucky3>> myself don't recommend cold cabbage leaves.. like you said.. that ease the engorgement but reduce milk ..
I use warm (actually pretty hot) towel.. repeatingly put on breast and massage.. it helps to losen the engorgement too..
and sometimes.. i can see that there are white spot on the nipple.. then i will squeeze it out like pimple.. as those are the milk fat that cuz the blockage.. then the milk will just leak out and release the engorgement

Nobody experienced pelvic pain? =(
I'm still having the ache there.
Re: cabbage leaves
Use it sparingly. I used it during #1 time and milk drops drastically (maybe I used it too frequently).
Like what Chu Jie said, hot towel and massage help to relieved the engorgement. This method is better.
Sharing my experience and Hope it helps [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

i exp. pelvic pain b4. my gyne advise mi to rest & dun walk too much. the pains will goes off. N it reallys wrks
Suying, I was guessing if I had walked too much. I was also wondering if it's because baby had engaged thus the pressure there. Hmm...
Chu Jie, I don't know if it's pre labour sign. My last check up, gynae was saying there is slight dilation and possible to give birth at week 37/38. Make me so Kan cheong when I still have things left undone.

Pelvic pain
Happens to me for all pregnancies. Get worse from 28 weeks onwards even if I dun walk that much. I'll just walk like a penguin to get my way around. My frens didn't have such symptoms but my sister has too, so maybe it's in the genes that's helping us to expand the pelvic. I can even feel the bones in the centre rubbing against each other. The pain is gone once I delivered.

Rose> Cos #1 was breech, so definitely had to go through c-section, and this time since the gap for #2 is quite close, safer to do c-section again.
Anyway, I've been through natural for #0 at 34 weeks three years back. So if anyone complains about natural, just think how hard it was for me to deliver #0 without heartbeat....Or if anyone has anything to complain about pregnancy symtoms and not able to sleep becos the little one is kicking inside, just think of me leaving the hospital without #0. It's all going to be worth it! All the best to us to these final weeks, and wish me luck!

chujie> e advertisement is irritating...they shd post them in e advertisement section. here is for conversation. why dun u join FB?
Hmm, the message I posted yest is not reflected here.
I was just saying that yes, it was a very difficult time for us, the darkest period of my life for #0. I'm glad that my husband has been very supportive and we depended on each other for strength. It's still hurt a lot when I talk about it but I have somehow learn to manage the pain as time passes. You learn to get stronger.
We don't know the reason and we will never know. All my blood tests turned out fine. Ours is classfied as "unknown" case and we didn't want him to go through autopsy. Can't imagine that small body of his getting cut up.
Anyway, we should talk about happy things here and learn to move on in life! I've learned to appreciate every little things in life now, even when #1 gets cranky, or with all terrible symptoms for #2. Wish me luck luck luck!
