Kelly,
if yours is natural, keep on latching in hospital and the milk will kick in. if csect, best to bring along the pump. After latching the baby pump again to stimulate the brain that the body needs to produce more milk. when back at home, latch and then pump too! =)
it's all about supply and demand... the more you latch/pump, the more milk supply... don't get too stressed up (i cried on the 2nd day after birth cos my colostrum didn't kick in!!! and when i seeked LC's help, i cried too!)
got to be hardworking at night also! it's quite tiring if there is no CL around to help you jagar the baby... so best to have CL and your job is the focus on your moo moo career!
drink plenty of fluid like hot soup, longan red date tea etc... green papaya soup may help also... supplements like fenugreek and sacred tea (or there are other types of nursing tea..) may also help to increase the milk supply... there is also medication to help increase but my personal view is that it will be really the last resort if milk supply is very low.. =) and also got to eat well too!!! no lessening of food intake because you want to slim down okie? haha..
most importantly is support from parents, in laws and your husband! =) let them know that you wish to breastfeed... and tell them that you hope to get the full support from them. and that means no negative comments like "you got no milk lah.. your milk not nutritious enough lah.."
can also get a breastfeeding pillow and bring it along with you to your ward when you deliver.. or you can use the ward's pillows too (i myself got the pillow but nv utilize at all cos it was pressing on my wound..)
=) read up more on breastfeeding... especially about correct latching.. massaging of the breast... what to do when there is engorgement... and also the various positions that you can latch your baby!
hope you will have a pleasant breastfeeding first experience babe! =)

Cathy,
That does sound a bit insensitive. I guess it's just the tone that is being used that puts you off. Hope the new gynae works out for you! I am not with Dr WK Tan but with Dr M Tan in the same clinic. Have 2 colleagues who have had 3 kids with Dr WK Tan and no complaints.
Kelly,
There is a supplement called fenugreek that should help boost milk production. I did not try for the #1, but I think I will try this time round coz previously also not much milk. Like what BBL mentioned, drinking hot soups like papaya and fish soup or even hot beverages like milo should help too.

Hi Xin_Starzz, we have very near edd! =)
Hi Clim and BBL, hmm.. I read it from
http://www.marilynglenville.com/general/pregnancy.htm
Cos it's my #1, so I'm playing it safe. =)
My gynea actually don't encourage me to reduce the dose but I really can't take it anymore. After reduce the morning dose, I feel so much better...

need drink lotsa hot fluids and eat well too
initially i was worried i had no milk and my milk come only on 4th day but i still managed to tbf my boy for 1 yr and just stop bf-ing him a few days back!

Cathy: I just bought my stretch mark cream from my gynae...cost me $50 plus.I thought it was "reasonable" because i saw another brand Mambino which cost 90 bucks...should have waited and not so "chong dong"
Evelyn Loh: the blood test you referring is it for checking down syndrome?
BBL: i hardly dream nowadays cos simply I am just too tire. Usually KO before 11.30pm..heee...
You all have any recommendation for good gynae in the east side?

Welcome all the new mummies
Regarding Utrogeston, im also taking that and hate it cos it makes my nausea worst so i cut down and eat twice a day sometimes only
but i really feel miserable eating this pill.
Saw my gynae today cos of my cramping yest and she mentioned could be due to stomach flu lucky bb is well and my blood clot seem to have reduce to much smaller and faster this round. Hopefully can stop the utrogestrone after next visit.
AG - where did you buy the clarins oil from? Im keen to get too. Its very effective cos i use it for no 2 time as well.

BBL, http://watersource.com.sg/ dunno really that effective or not.. Nowadays, so many new things..
I bought my Clarins oil from one of the BP seller. you can check out her webiste www.beautynscent.com.sg
Cathy,
I never talk Annum Milk in my last pregnancy and doubt will drink this round as well. I just eat normal balance diet. Even I have MS, I also eat and sleep to delay the vomit and let it vomit out if can't stand.
I saw stall that selling beancurb w/o 石膏粉.
It's not too late to change gynae at all! You must find someone you are confident and confortable with, this is very important!
BBL,
yeah, which kids don't have itchy hands?? Mine got itchy hand (playful and cheeky one to purposely make us laugh or angry). He understand whatever we tell, but sometimes he just want to be cheeky. Kids like that nowadays, normal. I think we will be worry if our child too quiet?
Eat faw placenta?? Emm... sashimi??
Your #1 wake up for milk at night? Just pat him and ask him to sleep, see if he is okie?
celestine,
Everything will be fine. Enjoy your trip to Taiwan.
Beancurb, some is without the harden chemical called 石膏粉.
MummyR,
Yeah, we will grow faster than those who having their #1 now. As our based is already expanded before. I gain 18kgs when pregnant with #1. But i can wear back my jeans 10 days aft deliver my son. And I ate a lot during confinement, just liquid already more than 3.5 litre everyday for 40 days, plus 1kgs veggie everyday, rice etc. 5 meals per day during confinement.
Wendy,
Hi, welcome. My #1 is same as yours, deliver in Jan 2010.
AG,
you are not only the unlucky one. My #1 also sticky to me, super sticky!
Mahjong,
Yeah, i never know the gender till the moment I delivered my son. This round will not scan for gender as well
JLJZ,
Hi, how's are you? Spotting stop oledi?
Sharon,
itchy at where?
Sherry,
good genes, I read a lot of cases, if your mom doesn't hv the stretch marks, unlikely you will have as well, not sure how true.
Mindy,
Don't feel that you are fat now. Isn't it this is the time you shouln't worry about weight gain?
Stargazzing,
Sorry to hear what had happen to your sister. Let's hope your other sibling able to help her. Meanwhile, you have to take care and rest well.
C M,
sorry to hear that
KJchua,
Hi, welcome to the thread, hope you enjoy the journey!
Powerwee,
is kinda normal that some mother to be cannot sleep back after wake up. But try not to read or watch tv aft that, try to lie back and try to sleep back. Hope you can sleep well.
Evelyn,
Your MIL can cook well ? If not, tell your husband help you to seek for approval to outsource lor.
Kelly,
How to have enough milk supply? Normally for first time mother, milk supply will not come immediate after you deliver, however, you still have to latch your baby. My milk supply becoming more only from 4 days onwards. And I fully breastfeed my son, no mixed and I still have enough to give away. I can generate 2 litre and try to reduce it even my son turn 15 mths old. Must eat well, rest well, drink more water, soup. I didn't eat special food but I eat balance diet. And the milk still solid and yellowish even 15 mths after birth. And i drink papaya fish soup everyday, eat fish everday day.

Hi ladies, I'm new to this thread. I'm 10weeks now.. Edd is 03aug. Just went for 2nd scan, baby is already 4cm & heartbeat is 140.
Anyone not goin for the OSCAR scan? My gynae say it's not necessary for me to scan becoz of my age.
