(2011/11) Nov 2011


hospital has pumps provided, but some feel that pumps are very personal. so if you're concerned abt hygiene and all that, then bring your own pumps. TMC has pumps for sure.

 
Congrats on many mommies who pop and ESP to those popping tmw like Jean, hu1j13 and who else popping tmw? All the best and very soon can see ur precious bb [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



How' e rest of mommies waiting for their turn and those doing confinement? I can't wait for confinement to be over to go out, eat the things I like but at the same time I know it wd be tough handling bb. Though cl not Up to my expectation, she has helped to keep my place fine n bb though many things r spoilt n damaged by her. Just hope she doesn't spoil more things in the last wk.



Next I'm being sucked dry by bb. Think milk supply cannt meet demand. My bb is suckling on every 1.5hr these few days and I feel very dry and tired. Reminded me of the initial 1st few mth of newborn' demand, super tiring but soon it will be over. Let' jiayou all mommies ESP e 1st time mommies. Not easy to bf but worth evey effort ESP those who has infection, difficulty w bf. It will only get better ESP when u see ur bb gain wt by end of full mth. Then all of us can showcase our bf effort to our elders who try to discourage our best efforts [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] hang on mommies!

Bunny

We are on the same boat,had overdue..Which hospital you delivering? I will be at Mount Alvernia..So heavy and baby still dont wanna pop yet..Lets see who else on the list havent pop?

 
Hi mummies,

Can't sleep at home, decide to admit in tmc earlier...no single bedded...so I decide to opt for double since my hb won't be staying overnight.



Omg, so tired but just can't sleep.

 
Thanks simp n kiam for ur encouragement. I oso aim to close 1 eye n get over confinement n hope supply come soon!



Was awaken by slight pain so requested for painkiller n doin pumpin now to stimulate Bf.



huijie - u check in oredi? I can visit u if u dun mind. I'm at 3rd floor.



Jean - thx [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] u Shd b otw to tmc now. Btw last night I requested glass bottles fr nurse she gave me 8. I feel my night shift nurse is beta n more free at night so higher chance to attend our request so I tried my luck on her. Prob cos my 1st night I fainted n she was ther so I feel we hv more rapport so more willin to give. But din managed to get formula leh. I'm discharging at 12pm later n will ask for milk samples again.



Little bb n bunny- hope ur symptoms r on d way n pop soon! Maybe when ur cervix slowly dilating so when symptoms come U'll deliver faster so it may b a blessin! I took 11hrs in hosp n fr 1st symptom till birth is 15hrs!



Jean

Jean n huijie, jia you!!!!!



Awww... My boy become the super year end bb liao... nxt time cannot get gf from the same class liao.... :p

 
I also haven't popped yet! Still waiting! 38 wks and 4 days...my baby is quite light, at 37 wks, he was only 2.3kg!



Jean and Huijie, hope everything went well! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Bb gal came out! Only 2.83kg! Her cord was ard her neck 1 round, din cry immediately. But all in all v healthy. Csect procedure same as wat Felixp mentioned. Now still shivering frm e after effects. Can't wait to c her later!

 
Me too, haven pop! Just went for my checkup at 39wks, did the usual checking of bb's heartbeat and scan - no cord around neck - and dats all. Baby at 3.2kg already!! Gosh she is getting quite big ah, but gynae nvr ask me to control diet leh. I think I shall self control, wait baby too big I got no energy to push her out via natural delivery.



She is still so comfy in my tummy. Although my false contractions are getting more frequent. Abit annoying cos not the real deal =P



Congrats hu1j13! Have a good rest and a good confinement [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Bunny- overdue

Snowpear-overdue

Flynn -week 38

Beatrice -week 38+

Thanks Cyn! How heavy is your baby now? My gynae doesn't check his weight every week, just touch the tummy. So far she said that his head is low, engaged, so he might come out soon. Hope it's soon!

 
Hi mummies.



My bb Yvette came to this world this morning with the weight of 3.235kg. So emo at the ot room after seeing and carry her...tears just came so naturally!!



Huijie

I'm now at the double bedded at 3rd level after my gal 2nd feed. Which level are u in?? Maybe we can meet tmr after doc check.



Iselle

Thanks for dropping by just now. So nice meeting u...



Csect is what Felixp described. But I dun have any shivering, only have nausea during the op...and feel super drowsy!!!!

 
@Jean: Congrats! Hows your wound now? The drip on the hand is not real needle right? You started pumping yet?



@Felixp: Thanks for the detailed description! Actually this is my 2nd delivery. My #1 was overdue for 6 days because my pervix not open. So now #2, gynae asked me c-sec too cos chances of pervix open is not high. #1 at Mt A, #2 at TMC, couldnt get the delivery ward, so opt for TMC.

 
Jean,

Congrats!! Saw your pretty baby pics [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Have a good rest!



Beatrice,

My baby is 3.2kg now, its actually a good weight at this stage I guess. Anyway most are just estimates, usually come out baby might weigh lesser. I oso hope she pop out soon!

 
who is delivering at TMC next week?

hope i am not doing it alone ><



me going for c-sec at 38wks+

suppose EDD on 6/dec but gynae asked to c-sec 1-2 weeks earlier



tml going for my appt, 2weeks ago bb weight is only 2.6+kg.. hopefully bb grow to good weight..



my #1 is about 3.3kg overdue 6 days..

 
Jean

U so gd ar? No shivering. I dub hv nausea but keep shivering. I cried when I saw bb too! The tears juz came so naturally. Guess only mothers can feel this.

 
Breastpump - if u hv bought a breast pump, it is best that u bring to hospital in case u hv to wait for other mummies to finish pumping b4 u can use. I only used the pump when I was home in day 3 but only has a few drop for the whole 15 mins fr both breast using medela freestyle level 9 power. Although bm increase everyday after that, I quite regret that I did not bring to hospital so the bm will flow will b better earlier.

 
Bluedream,

Thanks for the advice, shall bring along my pump to the hospital when it's my turn
