Pink piglet, gynae use v-scan to measure cervix length.
Sunbelle, I hv the same qn wrt carseat! Hubs say newborn too small to put in carseat but arent car seats designed for kids from birth upwards?
Liligal your parts so ting1hua4
BB, I've been taking papaya everyday for past few mths cos clinic nurse say ok! How how.. Last time I rely on tea to go toilet but stopped after preg..
Re breastfeeding, do the night feeds/pumps hv to be maintained for as long as we're breastfeeding to maintain supply? Meaning even after going back to work still hv to wake up in the middle of the night to feed/pump?

cherish: i wanted c-section too until my cousin shared her experience to me.. she was on epidural and said she felt nothing all the way to delivery.. she pushed and pushed then felt something blob out, which is the baby! that was it! even the wound was painless! so she said on the other hand, she admires women who goes through c-section.. very painful after the op..
haha, cherish admires those who went thru natural and mummy lee's cousin admire those who went thru c-sec...actually we shd all admire and be proud of ourselves for bringing the little ones to this world, whether via natural birth or c-sec...some even went thru iui/ivf to conceive...i think we are better than some women who don't even want to give birth at all for the many reasons/excuses that they may have...
So sleepy. I need my mid day nap!
lili-gal, your body parts are very obedient. Mine mostly just ignore me and have a mind of their own. I can plead, beg, scold ... all no effect. Really sian.
I think should try natural before opting for c-sect. C-sect is considered major surgery and the recovery period can be quite long.
As for ferrying infants in car, I am super pro carseat. That's the safest way to ferry your NB ard =)

I bought Medela PISA from US. Took it out to check if in working order last weekend. I saw a note that says 1st use no need to sterilize? I was hoping to bring to hospital and ask them to sterilize for me. Can I?
My unit doesn't work when I use travel adaptor. But it works when using the battery pack they provided. So I think it's the AC power cable? adaptor? thing that I need to change. Any mommies out there bought US unit too? Can share how to get the unit to work on AC and where to get? Thanks.

citizen,
i was having same thot as u on the breast pump. i was checking my hospital bag last weekend and realised i only done 50%. And i can't possible sterilize the storage bottles now. it seems too early.
remembered someone asking abt the tubing. from what i understand, it cannot be sterilized. i used to sterilize other assembly parts but if my memory didn't failed me, the assembly parts can be washed using warm soapy water. pls. correct me if i'm wrong. THanks!

Cherish, when I was pregnant with my #1, my hb promised to let me csect cos I was really frightened of natural. I happily enjoyed my pregnancy till few months later when it was time to discuss with my gynae about the delivery, he rejected doing csect for me. He said "unless no choice then csect, we aimed natural first k?" The fear came back again n I was depressed. Luckily my delivery was such a blessing. Now hoping my #2 also sayang me n come out smoothly.
Lili gal, my mil making yam kuey for me now, u stay east? As what 56mama said, it is not so good for the skin so I will not eat much. Relatives r here to visit me n I try to play mahjong with them, can't even complete one east round, pelvic muscle pain. Luckily one bil is here too, help me to play. I would rather take a cold shower n hide in my room n rest on bed at this time.
Talking about newborn baby, I will carry my baby in my arm when coming back from hospital. It is too tiny to be placed on car seat n subject to the seatbelt n impact. I would rather carry in my arms n ask my hb to only drive at less than 80km/h.
Kawaii, we r delivering soon so stop taking yellowish food now. I reduce spinach, tomatoes, ... N totally stop papaya, mango, yellow kiwi... My #1 was born with jaundice which I rented the infra ray bed for her to sleep for weeks, very heartbreaking cos I didn't believe in avoiding food. Now I more obedient listen to my TCM physician.

Cherish, I've only packed those stuff that I don't use on a daily basis. Am hoping to pack the clothes and toiletries at the last min ... maybe while having contractions. Haha. Cos' anyway, my doc says to try to delay going to the hospital. Otherwise will just be there focusing on the pain; outside more distractions, so hopefully in this case can tahan the pain longer. Which hospital will you be at? I read that at Mt E can ask them for glass bottles. Hopefully they don't find me cheeky to be asking for so many stuff/service.
Thanks, Joanne.

sunbelle & kawaii, officially by law, has to be car seat. u can put cushy insets for newborns. prams also need it for some. but of cos, on the car seat issue until u get caught everything is permissible. hahaha...
pump-wise, i suggest sterilize the bottle, funnel, valve, the connector thingy for the pump. come to think of it, tubes not really necessary cos it won't touch or do anything right? can bring to hospital to sterilize for u. 1st time mummies can bring so that the lactation consultant can be consulted. it took me 1 mth to realize my funnel size too small then.
citizen, i also hv a US unit. u nd to buy a converter from 240V to 110V or something like that. dun plug directly, it will spoil or blow after a while.
kawaii, for me, i slowly cut off night feeds when my boy can sleep thru 5-6 hours at one shot around 3mths. if he doesn't wake me, i dun feed at all at night. lazy mum...
BB, waaahhhh... me stay in NE now orh kueh craving gone liao. but mahjong!!! anything to get my mind off the tummy!!! ahhahaha... but i'm quite lousy in it lor. just like the thrill of playing.

It's really strange...
I realised the people around us (me & hb) are more anxious than us.
Why I said so? I just received a call from my ex-colleague (a friend) to check on me and after knowing my gynea's prior decision to deliver before 20Jun she advised me not to wait until 18Jun to start my ML but start ASAP.
So...
Tomorrow when I'm back to work does it mean that I should announce my sudden decision to bring forward my ML and handover my work? Those 2 aunties sure faint cos my 小弟 who suppose to be covering me is still on ICT.

Luckily I still know what I can eat and what I should avoid eating.
Last night had dinner over at my MIL's and she asked me to eat the steamed otah. Oh no no no...
The sight of it scares me - so YELLOW!
Some more my BIL bought rambutan and lychee. If I eat those I sure 200% peng san. Rambutan is 湿热 and lychee even worse, 1 lychee is = 三把火. Sure burn to death by my internal heat.

jo, actually first 2 days nothing much to pump cos it's colostrum only and for me, i'm bringing it tho i dun think i'll need it but jus have it there to keep it going if i want to. and usually i sterilize each time before i use. last time i borrowed from them their industrialized pump when my son was still in nursery for that week and i went bk to feed him so they told me it was sterilized. shud be ok i think. it's jus good to have a consultant there and help u to it if u r 1st time.
