Galili, thanks a lot. Really encouraging to see that post..
Btw, my nipple now feels better. Still feels a bit sore when latching but I get used to it already..
Now finally used the traditional cloth diaper. My parents are good distraction for #1. They can play with her until she forgot about me an hubby hehe
My maid got lots of things to wash now. Maybe I'll give her extra this mth. I am just afraid she will demand extra every mth since the washing will always continue until baby starts solid.
Can't imagine tbf baby, poop before and after feeding leh..

Thanks for the concern n well wishes
This pregnancy is so ironic. I was so kancheong n tried to be prepared. Then gynae went overseas n CL not ready. So i wait... Gynae came back n CL ready, but i didn't pop. Then no.1 kena HFMD so cannot pop! Duh...
Dunno where he got HFMD from. No one in his sch has it. Must be when his papa brought him out on weekends then not careful with hygiene lah

Quite true leh, i think you are one of those few most well prepared ones. Even to the point, u were expecting to pop by end May! Anyway, it may well be a blessing in disguise cos if the baby came, and your no 1 was still really down with HFMD, your hubby will have a hard time juggling between you/no 2 and no 1!
Asrias
You should be able to go back by tomo?
Groovy
Yup, so the tongue tied problem can be resolved one. At least, it was discovered early!
I think what liligal said makes sense - tell her it's an ang pow la..like one off bonus.
Hope
I was lazy to go out la..but today's weather was rather cooling so I decided to make an effort to go for a date with my hubby.

Pls continue to latch. From birth latch. Make sure bb mouth open wide n push bbs head directly onto u once e mouth is biggest.
Dun let bb suck nipple. Muz take whole areola in e mouth to draw milk.
If just nipples. I guarantee u will be in pain in less then 3days. Either bleed or pain unbearable n given up cause bb can't draw milk.
Pain, u can't relax, can't have letdown.
If need to, c a LC. Dun be shy.

It's great that the time has arrived for us. My girl has to stay in the hospital for another day because of jaundice
. 3rd day in the hospital without us. My MIL said she's "angry" with us pouted when she carried her
And do have a few pieces of leggings at home. Get some if u still have time. It helps to keep you leg warm, think its very important when we do our confinement. Leggings not too warm. Think it's quite important for us during this period.

for jaundice bb;
i knw my bb confirmed a diff blood grp from mine, and sure jaundice will be high. so on day 0 already give him formula. so that he can clear his jaundice and go home with me. and true enough, he don't hv to stay extra days and jus hv to sun at home. but got to go back chk for his jaundice lvl to monitor.
so for my case, my bb confirmed cannot go on total BF and insist no intake from day 0.
but now, he's almost on TBF, only once a nite, give him formula. to let him hv a feel of bottle feed so that at least when i go back work he don't reject bottle.

I popped at 1.10pm. Vacuum assisted coz gynae in a hurry to quickly get bb out. Bb hb kept dropping so she was worried the umb cord was ard his neck. Turns out it was just short. Gynae said if it weren't 2nd bb, we would have gone for emer csec to get bb out asap. Anyway push until no strength so use vacuum. He's 3.31kg, 52cm. Bigger than no.1 at 2.6kg, 47cm.
PD was here liao. Bb already pooed. He said to avoid all herbs like dongcongcao, paosheng, dangsheng etc for the 1st wk. Coz bb's liver may not detox n will kena jaundice. Esp since no.1 had serious jaundice.

Congrat Jul, so happy for you. Your boy is of great size. Your waterbag burst or bloody shows hence the admission? How long you took to deliver?
jolene,
my bb also had jaundice and it was quite bad that requires phototheraphy.. now she is back home.. requires weekly testing to monitor..
BM is ok but using FM, it brings down the jaundice faster.. am told to continue FM for another 2 days then gradually switch back to BM.. am pumping out at the moment.
BM recovers slower cause doc's concern is on the food that we eat.. bb's liver may not be matured enough to breakdown some of the food we eat..
i was told ginger, red dates, chinese herbs etc..may increase jaundice level but it depends how the bb liver reacted.. for mine, we did a detailed jaundice breakdown test and was told to stop my confinement food if i want to BM.. so i have stopped already..
cant wait to switch back to BM.. running out of storage space for freezing milk soon.

glass, serious! so it's true! i thot natural will create hell for gynae as not even and hard to stitch.
petrina, your gynae is a Chris? mine also Chris not sure if it's the same one.
jolene, dun worry about jaundice, their lil bodies will heal in no time. my #1 stayed in there for a week and once back home still doing phototheraphy for another week before jaundice died down. still yellow looking for a whole month tho. i never really kept him hungry so it's a mix of breastmilk (direct & expressed) and formula. more of the FM in the beginning but later more and more BM. until i went into TBF.
xiaowei, thanks! i'd take the deluxe too. geesh, so rooms are realy tight this dragon year.
minnzo, how r u holding up now? in jus a little while, baby will be out. hang in there!!!
congrats jul!

Feel so frustrated. Need to please so many people. My mother is only free in the morning, so she comes to my house every day in the morning. Sometimes she comes in the afternoon. All she wants is to see my first son, apart from my second one. However, since he doesn't live with us and only comes over after school in the evening, she doesn't get to see him. Today is Sunday, so she came with my father, again in the morning. I told her to go over to my in laws' place but she doesn't want to. So I asked my husband to bring him over earlier, as she had not seen him for two weeks. My father got hungry and fed up waitIng, so he was unhappy. My mother insisted on waiting, and I knew she would only stay for five min after seeing him.
Now because my soncame over much earlier, my husband was frustrated coz he can't do his work.
I think my second's jaundice is bad, but we didn't go to the doc earlier, my husband is also not happy. He also kept complaining about my maid, my mil also kept complaining about trivial stuff, kept telling me to tell the maid, like I'm some messenger.
I know they are also not happy with the Cl over certain things, so they just kept complaining.
Even something like why didn't I notice my son's eyes were yellowish, I really didn't notice. He's sleeping in the day, and doesn't open his eyes fully when awake. Like that my husband also raised his voice. I'm upset enough and he is so irritable as well.
Trying to please every one and I can't.

Oh dear, sounds like you are literally a human sandwich between your family members.
. Unfortunately we can't please everyone. But I think right now most imptly, got to make sure no 2 jaundice gets better. Are u planning to bring him back to his PD?
Must be tough on u to deal with all these when u need to rest and recuperate. Come here to rant and let off steam. Better than keeping everything inside.
