Rebeana,
Hb will wait by your side during labour. Ask them to bring their laptop or iPad to entertain themselves. Load some shows to watch. Or books or mags to read. In between can ask them to go for their breakfast, lunch or kopi break but make sure they come back way before u ready to deliver.

Babyzel n kiamkiam, thanks for sharing your birth stories! Must be the most memorable experience in life. I am waiting for my turn also and keep thinking how my boy will look like [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Today I first time sleep till so late ( 10 am) since I am pregnant. Think bb is tired also n he enjoyed sleeping until so late with me.
Epidural cost
I know in parkway east , it costs about 500 plus. My friend who will deliver in sgh, told me the epi cost there is 200 plus. I was wondering why there is such a big difference.
Milk bottles / breast pump accessories washing
Mummies, have you washed / sterilized milk bottles and pump accessories ? my hb said no need to wash so early but I just want to see all the things cleaned before going for delivery. How about you all.?

Congrats to Babyzel and KiamKiam..nice to hear your birth stories [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]~ Hope when it is my turn, everything is smooth too, looking forward for the arrival of my gal now. Next tuesday will have gynae appointment, hope bb is engaged by the time..
SHJEAN,
If you want to wash the milk bottles or pump accessories, can do it before your delivery. By the time, think will still sterilized before you let the bb use for feeding..
For me, haven wash both. Can do it when back from delivery, as we may get some bottle FM from hospital, can start breastfeed baby direct as well..
Still got time to wash/sterillized the bottle and pump accessories [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Fynn,
I havent got the bill but I guess should be $200 odd..
Grace,
I got free upgrade to half a suite. Their 2nd most expensive. Feels so lucky in a way that the 1 bedded was full. Yesterday I can use the whole suite cos no patient but another patient just came in this morning to share the other half. Hope the 1 bedded I opted for will be available later so I can enjoy my privacy.
Jean,
My no 1 I pushed 1 hr plus also pushed Till very tired. I think becos this is no 2, so easier this time round.
I bf no 1 till 2.5 yrs n only stopped this mar when I realized I'm Preggy so kinda of experienced so very much easier. Another plus is bb very auto n dun need much effort. Heng!
Shjean,
I will sterilize the pumps n bottles once I get home from hosp. Haven't sterilize them yet.

Thanks Kiam & Zel for sharing! It's v detailed.
Wow Zel u r so hardworking for ur #1! BF till 2.5yrs. So far the longest i heard from my fren is 18mths. U r goooooood! I'm also deliverin at TMC, hope they gimme free upgrade like u too! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Shjean - my hubby said the same as urs. But oso wan it clean clean so i juz started washing ytd. Will not sterilize cos b4 each feed will sterilize again. So i gave the bottles a good scrub and put in ziplock.
Jean - hope ur migraine doesnt come bk. btw i asked my gynae ytd abt heartburn. He said we can take Gaviscon. It was prescribed to me durin my 1st tri cos my heartburn was v bad and gynae assured tat it can be taken in our last tri and even in labour if we feel the heartburn.
Little bb - i agreed bb movement is painful n uncomfy now. other than the lower tummy which the fingers are the upper tummy where her butt are is the worst. I'm gonna enrol her in dance class nex time cos she is such a butt-shaker!

Forgot to add that my gf told me to get citric acid (can get from Phoon Huat outlets, cheaper) to descale sterilizer and bottle warmer. She descales it weekly.
Also for our pump parts & bottles, once sterilize it's still safe to use up to 6hrs if we keep it within the sterilizer. But it may differ from brands to brands so do read the instructions.
Zel & Kiam - Try to get as many glass bottles as u can from the hosp so u can use it as additional BF storage & directly as feeding bottles after u take it out from the fridge. Juz need to warm it up to feed. You may only need to buy the cap & teats if it doesnt come wi it.

My migraine is terrible since last night. After lunch, it gets better. But I can feel my numbness on my both hands also got serious. And can't even close up my fists in the morning.

Wah so many updates today! I also hope my delivery process will be so smooth... pray very hard.
Zel,
You opted for 1-bedded first then got upgraded to half a suite?
Jean,
Yah lor, thinking should just get a big slow cooker for ourselves to prepare soup, more healthy. The one I have now is quite small, sometimes not deep enough to even put a chicken drumstick inside to stew haha...
Migraines
Hormonal changes will cause migraines as well. I used to have migraines last time whenever my period comes. My non-medical way to relieve it is to drink a can of chilled 100+ or coke, better than popping pills. But that's just for me, not sure if it will work for everyone. And do note that there is caffine content in 100+/coke as well, can't drink too much.
Hubby on half day today, started our weekend early and went pa-tor and did the rest of my shopping. Finally bought my diapers lol.
Updated the price list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmdhnCeaEugldFY5cjJxQkRBOUdjc0xEdFpyZWdockE&hl=en_GB#gid=0
Major stuff all settled and bought. Now just need to buy the spare parts of my breast pump, figure out how it works, finish packing my hospital bag and then wait. So fast, another 4 more weeks to go [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Jean chua-You stayed far..If booked funtion room also will be risks that it will not be available as year end la.If do at home Maybe will also spit into 2 groups lor,think after the celebration my house will be like rubbish chute.Faint! My hubby suggest to book afew tables at a restaurant but its quite unconveniente for me if bb needs diaper change or breastfeed.

Little bb>>
U can try seragoon country club function room. The more ulu, the chances is higher. Moreover, they provide all the food. I also afraid that the after effect of the party at home, I sure faint... Hahaha if not, see any of ur friends or relatives can book their condo function room to held the party Loh.
Few tables at restaurant is also good idea, better food and plus won't be so tiring for you and bb since is a few hours events. Then also won't be cleaning up also.
I think I will be doing at home since my relatives has not come to my place since I'm married.
Oh my hb is back, got to heat up the dinner delivery Liao...talk to u gals again tonight.

Little bb/Jean,
Haha I've also thought about where to hold baby full month cos my place is too small, and dread the idea of cleaning up after that. But problem with holding it outside is quite inconvenient during feeding or changing. Anyway I shall dedicate this task to the hubby, he better settle it heh.
Oh yah Jean, thanks for reminding me about the Philips sale! Think the previous thread got bumped way up and forgot about it. It's this weekend, shall go and check it out [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Migraine
Hi Jean, yr migraine could be caused by the increased blood flow. Not confirm but could be. I used to have migraine almost every night sometime back and my gynae said it's because of the increased blood flow and it's normal. Anyway u take care, I know how horrible it feels.
Hi is-Elle
Totally agree! The top part where baby's legs/bum is is the worst! It's so painful and uncomfortable! Sometimes can even feel something popping out. Think is her leg.
Full month birthday
I don't intend to hold any party. Troublesome and thought baby wldnt know what is it about anyway. Probably just get my family members to sit down for a dinner or what that's all..

Full month
My hb and I will just decide to invite the close ones...but add up also around 50-60pax... Hahaha. I think I will split two groups..with my side of relatives and hb side relatives at different timing.
Cos I dun think my fil or dad will just let it go since is my dad first granddaughter. First time becoming gong gong...heehee

Cyn/Jean,
Actually caffeine is very commonly prescribed by doctors for migraine.. Coke is a caffeinated drink so probably that's why it helps when you drink coke during migraine.
Full mth
Anyone has recommendations for buffet caterer? I should be holding it at home also, divide the guests into 2 sessions.

Little bb>> friend's condo is really uncomfy. Cos u got to bring up and down the condo to show off ur bb and BF at the same time. Try to book function room from club or chalet. if not, then book a few tables at restaurant function room.
I notice you dun sleep too early. Issit waiting for your hb to be home from work? Dun tired out urself, rest if you are tired.
Patrica>> so caffeine can cure migraine....I will try that out. Almost got the symptom just now, but feel better after drinking hot chocolate.
I'm currently trying meihao99 dinner delivery. Food taste Not bad. They also do full month catering, price is reasonable. At least I can order the cupcakes or gift pack from other homemade suppliers. Cos some caterers lump all together as a package.
Janice>> then you will be old bird Liao, cos at least I dunno, I can consult u Loh....hahaha...how your bb doing?? Everything fine?? Share your birth story when u free...

Jean,
Coffee, tea, chocolate and cola drink all contains different amounts of caffeine. I guess that's why hot chocolate do help too.
Blue dream,
I also hope when my time come will be as fast as you. Tks for sharing your birth story.

Hi Kiamkiam jia you! Bf really not easy esp for first time mummies, hope that your milk will come in very soon!
Getting very cranky cos not sleeping well. Keep waking up hungry at 5am and not falling back to sleep. Turn here turn there oso feel so uncomfortable with my big tummy. I certainly won't be missing this part of my pregnancy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Littlebb, ya super tired esp d first week as got to go hospital to visit her in d am n nite with my bm even though not alot. She's born with 2kg. Now I pump n feed her cos she needs fortifier n oso on special formula milk to help her gain weight. I try to latch her once or twice a day. My milk flow not much leh...
Jean, mine really caught me on surprise n my gynae was but in town!!! I had mine an emergency csect. Haha there are alot of old birds here leh n I'm oso still learning...
Mummies, I've lots of questions. When u latch do u wash yr breast everytime u latch or pump? N do u pump after each feed? I keep washing hands n clean my breast (every 3hrs) until my hands are so rough n ezcema came back in my fingers. My gal has been drinking milk from d fridge which I feel very bad... Hope she doesn't need fortifier anymore after d next doc appt.... And fortifier is not cheap!

My birth story:
9am water bag burst while I do my regular stretching exercise. Told hubby abt it, he said maybe I can't hold my urine but I know it's not.
10am more water leaking. I start to pack my bag (intend to do it in this day too).
11am showered n wash hair while hubby went to buy bf. saw mucus plug when shower, called hospital n was asked to go immediately. Recall hubby back n off I go to TMC.
11pm+ reach TMC delivery suite n water start gushing out. Gynae not in town, only back next day 7:30sm nurse called his backup doc. Midwife check dilate 1cm
1pm+ doc arrive n scan bb. Bb still in bridge position. Water lvl still ok, wanted to wait for my gynae till next day. So doc me drips to prolong d contractions n jabs to help bb to develop her lungs faster. thru'out d day they keep increasing d dosage of drips as contractions getting more intense.
1am have another jab for lung as need 12hrs interval, still dilate at 1cm
3am+ contraction getting more n more intense. Midwife called doc n doc said need csect immediately cannot wait anymore and my baby had arrived [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi all mummies,
Came back from my gynae appt. Feeling nausea while waiting for my turn. End up vomit all my breakfast before seeing him. But my sugar level and BP did went down. However he say I might be high chance of getting high BP in the future. My gal weigh estimate weigh 3.3kg at week 36 but doc say might not be so heavy when she comes out cos is based on formula calculation. She is active today as daddy is with me.
After the appt, went lunch, can't swallow much also. Feel so tired and even no mood to shop when we go amk hub to buy some grocery then head home. My hb is so surprised I'm not in mood to kaikai especially on sat.
Doc advise me to take panadol if my migraine strike. Hmmm...I shall see how ba, since coffee and hot chocolate can control the pain, I shall stay on with that. It is due to our blood vessel expansion during pregny, and leading the vessel in our head expand as well causing the pain.
All still quite ok, but next week got to see him again.
Kiam>> it is not easy for new mummy to BF. But must jia you in pumping and latching on. Bb will know what is good for her...that y they are good bb in searching for mummy milk.
Cynn>> hahaha now then u feel cranky...I already miscount my sleepless nights... Have been waking up countless pee pee, heartburn, nausea...turn here pain, turn there pain.... Shove hb away when he try to hug me to sleep.... Haiz...just feel so bad towards him sometimes... I think is the cruelty that comes to me in my 3rd tri, since my 1st and 2nd tri are so easy...
Nov etolie>>> great u stay at marine parade. We sure can meet up for play dates le...heehee can jio twink and hu1j13 together....heehee..of cos can't miss out those mummies who are still in their ML.
Janice>> I dun think u need to wash ur breasts every 3 hrs ba. Just wipe them and hands with wet towel will do. That what my friends did. Ur experience is really a surprise....the ur CL or mil or mum helping with u when ur confinement?? I have been telling my gal to wait till her days come, cos my CL won't be available yet....I hope ur bb will gain weight fast and everything will be smooth for you and your family. Hugggggsss

Janice>>> my SIL tells me is best to pump out the leftover after they latch on... The more we clear our breast, the more milk we wvill produce. That y we need to latch to stimulate then got milk, then clear off by latch and pump. But when we feel pain, we stop the pump. Dun over pump will injure our nipple.
Little bb, my elder boy born in May. That time, use nursing wear only for outdoor, at home just wear any t-shirt. But think t-shirt coverage is not enough as the rain just come n cannot move if half-way bf-ing.
Jean/Patricia, my 2nd boy is 3.445 kg. I think maybe 2nd birth, so faster. The main key is to relax n let the epi get into yr body. I felt only the numbness but not the pain even the baby is out.
Janice, maybe can try to clean yr hand using anticeptic wipe? If you think yr baby is not drinking enough, than u need to pump after every latch.
