Jaundice is caused by the bilirubin in the baby's body. When they are in our womb, the placenta helps to remove this. Once baby is delivered, his liver has to take over this work, which may need some time. Hence jaundice level will start to increase.
There are lots of chinese myths that yellow colored food like mango may cause jaundice in newborn. I was even advised not to dressed my infant in yellow. Up to you whether you wanna believe. Some pple avoid ginger totally during confinement if they are bfeeding and their babies have high jaundice level. For me, I eat everything in moderation. No problem with ginger at all during confinement. Jaudice level will go down slowly even when i bfed after eating ginger.
If baby has jaundice, besides sunning, can also rent those lights (which they used for sunning babies with jaundice in hosp) home.

May / Shir Shir: Yes, first baby better get someone experienced to help. Next time round, experienced alrdy then can settle by yourselves
Constance: I agree wif u... It oso depends on ur baby's pediatrician (PD) comfort level. For my #1 & #2, they were grouchy old men PD from Mt E. They were the more traditional and conservative type of PD, so everything oso must go by the book. They pricked my baby for blood tests several times a day.
Then for #3, she was a very modern lady PD oso from Mt E who din even want any blood test done on my baby, even when I requested for one to confirm his jaundice level. She kept saying no need, this is just breast feeding jaundice, it will go away slowly. End up, to appease my hubby who was worried abt baby's jaundice level, we brought him to polyclinic to do the test. Haha...
But for mummies delivering in KK, the docs there are more conservative, beyond a certain jaundice level, they will insist to keep the baby in the hospital until a safer level. I know cos I brought #2 to KK for jaundice follow up check ups after he was discharged from Mt E (didn't like the grumpy PD assigned to us). Then due to his jaundice levels fluctuating up and down, he was hospitalized for three times within his first mth. He oso had a reflux problem that KK was unable to diagnose and treat.

Hi Shir, which yoga centre do you have in mind? I think its a good idea. I led a super sedentary life, need to get some exercise!
Thanks mommies, I'll ask gynae on next visit regarding fish oil. My sis had to take so i guess I can't really escape. We share the same gynae and we are twins so maybe we are similar.
Constance: you are so lucky, the CL that I wanted from PEM is not working during the last quarter. I'll probably call her up and ask for recommendations. Does your CL have any good recommendations for her PEM colleagues?
Regarding durians, my friend said his bb was very small so during the third trimster, he fed his wife quite a bit of durians and bb came out normal weight so it is a good way to gain weight for the bb. Don't start eating it too early cos of sugar content but eat at a later stage. My husband can't stand durians so wonder how he is going to survive if i have to eat durians to gain weight.

Hi mummies,
So many comments today!
I just went to see my xiaolongbao, gynae not confident to confirm gender, can only wait till 17 weeks. haha.
But my xiaolongbao should be 14w4days become 3days le though gynae say the growth is ok.
<font color="0077aa">ccharis</font>
I think places like punggol, sengkang, hougang put northeast better.
<font color="0077aa">shir shir</font>
My mum's helping me with confinement, so I guess considered our own. Going to keep it simple. I hope.
I'm quite keen on the prenatal yoga though, but probably from 4th or 5th month onwards?
Anyway, enjoy your long weekend babes.

I found confinement lady! She originally could not do end Oct so she rejected a case but her end Sept case's mum can take over towards the end so she can take mine. So happy that one thing on the to do list is done. Next week after oscar will visit infant care to check out its facilities.
This weekend is home alone for me as hubby is travelling. Dog is at boarding school so I'll take the chance to relax and laze. I think I miss my dog more than hubby.

Hihi ccharis - I am no. 15 and I stay in the north.
My mom will do confinement for me but she said she will not do night shift so I'll to take care of the baby at night. She'll also cook simple dishes like fish soup (for my breastmilk), sesame chicken, etc and cook red date water. She'll buy the herbs for bath at the medicine halls. Of course, she'll help bathe the baby. I'm still quite nervous to bathe a small baby.
Have a great weekend! I'm bringing my boy to the bird park tomorrow.

Serenelm, wah, u very lucky to have a hubby who can cook confinement food.
When I had my #1, she had jaundice and had to be hospitalised in KKH, maybe for about a week. I rented a room at KKH so that it'd be more convenient to breastfeed her. No need to travel everyday to and fro hospital, especially just after giving birth. As my gal's jaundice was quite high, I also avoided ginger during confinement due to bf.
My bump is quite obvious now too. Before breakfast it looks light spare tyre, after breakfast & onwards, bump shows up.
Thank god my MS is gone. I've not puked since Mon. Tomorrow I'm week 13. Now I think I've to eat 6 meals a day. 2xbreakfast, 2xlunch (1regular & 1lighter), dinner, supper. Always fantasizing about food! Although I worry about putting on too much weight now, but I'd rather that I can eat than to be suffering from MS!

Izya: I'm still having MS, so not enjoying yet. Once MS clear, then will sure enjoy 2nd tri.
Oh yes, our EDD very near but I'll prob deliver in mid/late Sept cos my gynae's trying to convince me to induce at week 37 due to my fast labour experiences. So far we've tried to schedule induction twice for #2 and #3, but each time, they would arrive naturally 1 day before the planned induction date, which I kinda like cos I prefer to go into natural labour. The only stressful thing is worrying abt whether I'll get to the hospital in time.
For 1st baby, I got to know gender ard week 20. For #2 and #3, I thinks it was ard week 13-16. I'll be seeing my gynae in 2 weeks' time, gynae said shld be able to see gender then if baby allows. I'm looking forward to that

i was happy to see my baby heartbeat when it was only 6 weeks. this baby came unprepared cos i just have d/c in last oct. I was happy that it arrived so fast. I went for my 2nd scan and found that my progestrone was only 34 and was asked to up my utrogestan by 2 pills 3 times a day. NOt only that i was asked to go for progestrone jab twice a week. for the sake of my child, i dont mind to take the pill nor the jab, its all for the good cause of my baby. I tried not to carry my #1 at all, i always felt very gulity to lie to him that i am unwell, mummy cannot carry him. I know with my age nearly 40 i know there are many tests to be taken beside amino test. like i said for the sake of this baby, i wil endure all pain, all expenses to ensure my baby is in good health. All went well, no bleeding, no spotting no MS, thought this will be a very smooth delivery, never do i realise i got light bleeding yesterday morning. When i rush to the clinic, my baby heartbeat stopped! my gynae tried on tummy scan and V=scan there is no moment no heartbeat at all i am already in 11 weeks, i can see its tiny little hands legs head and eyes. I was crying painfully. When my hub arrives, i was crying even badly i cant believe it has gone. The bleeding never stop and i have to terminate it in the evening, afraid that the infection will spread in me. Crying all the way from clinic and fetch my boy together to hospital. Seeing my boy happy to see us, i felt some comfort but still thinking of this baby. Gynae suggest to send for lab test .. Why it just leave suddenly? i was planning of getting nice clothes for it, getting a CL for it...why ...why...

babiesmeme, it's not easy for u but u have to tell yourself that u'd have to pull yourself together after this grieving period. Think about the long journey that u'd be walking together w your #1. Your #1 needs his mummy too.
