actually the jaundice in bb is caused by the inability to break down the bilirubin in the blood.
High levels of a pigment in the blood called bilirubin cause the skin to look yellow.
"Everyone's blood contains bilirubin. Bilirubin is one of the byproducts created when old red blood cells break down. Normally, the liver removes bilirubin from the blood and the body then gets rid of it in bowel movements." from babycenter.
tat's y it is very impt for bb to drink more so that he can pass out more n then the jaundice will be reduce automatically.
i somehow disagreed w old folks who say if bb can sleep then let them sleep.. when hungry will cry for milk.. maybe that is for later part of the confinement.. first 2 weeks to get the bb drinks more pass out more..
my confinement lady (thou i hated her), but she did something which helps #1 alot to reduce the jaundice. she ordered us to buy glucose (those in blue tin kind), did a super diluted 20ml for bb to drink.. the glucose help the bb to move its digestive system n in turn break the bilirubin.
i didnt wan to believe her initially.. but after 1st checkup, doc say if continue to rise then need to admit and it is nearing national day.. will hav to go a&e, no pd.. so we took the chance... within 3days his jaundice drops..

melilone: Not true...i heard that there are cases, baby heart stop for no reason = miscarriage. No blood also...
Hmm..i am actually thinking of hiring a maid (MIL cannot be doing the housework and then taking care of baby when me and my hubby at work mah) , then maybe a massage lady for the 1 month during confinement... Most likely i will then get food order from those confinement catering...
I think that should help rather then getting a confinement lady to stay at my house...
But just abit worried about the maid...cos MIL is not 24/7 at home...then really need to pray to get a good maid...also need to worry about her daily food and neccassity...
Sigh...alot of money

Poky, I hate it when bb needs to stay in hospital due to jaundice. Very troublesome for us. 1st one I very blur and emo. Cried when doc said need to admit. Nurses and doc said can continue to bf. So my eldest gal jaundice took a whopping 3 mths to clear totally. Tested for liver etc, so painful for her and me. 2nd one I started to relax Liao. Fm/BM for the 1st 2 weeks to make sure jaundice clear. In hospital for the delivery stay I oso bo chap and ask nurse to feed bb FM if hungry cos I want to rest.

katherine,

i agree it's impt to get a gd CL for confinement if your finances allow. Even if she's not very gd, at least can cook your meals, bath bb, entertain bb while u rest, do night duty coz sometimes bb poo after feed. I finish my milk duty CL go change diapers. My CL even clean up my whole flat, scrubbed my toilets!
Chocpokie: mind sharing which agency u got your CL from? My CL also from agency. She was very gd but told me she dun wana work in spore already coz she wants to spend time with her daughter. I dun exactly like the agent, so still considering whether to go back to this agency or not.
Regarding jaundice, my bb level was a little high. She wasn't pooing & peeing much, so my CL said level can't go down. Pd told me to let her drink more milk but as my bm ss wasn't high then, we gave formula milk. After few days she was fine.

Usaginoko, I got my CL via Bliss Confinement agency last timr. But for this round, I contacted the CL directly.
Sounds u really had a good CL last round. Agree that A good CL is hard to find. Really depends on luck. Hope u get another good one this round. Do book early.

wililian: for no1, I had a confinement lady. But I struggling quite badly when she left. Dearest son doesn't want to latch on! So I did exclusive pumping n bottle feed him. My day during maternity leave was filled with pumping, feed and bottle washing. I was simply depressed!
For no2, I didn't get a confinement lady. I employ a maid but not a confinement lady. My mum in law stayed over for my confinement to supervise and help look after no1. I rest, Breastfeed and look after baby. I ordered confinement food catering. I feel this arrangement worked well for me. so I'll continue to do this for no3.
I was hesitating about getting a maid at first. But I know we def need extra one with no2. It indeed ease a lot of tension and stress between me and hubby. Because lesser arguments over who doing more or less. And with someone doing the housework, I can concentrate on my work n the kids. Of course my maid is quite good so she made my life a breeze. I really appreciate her help. When I returned to work, she will clean n pack all my pumping stuff for me. Compared to no1, I woke up early every day just to prepare everything.

Frog princess: I agree with your feedback on confinement lady. But at least you have your mum whom you can depend on. For the 2 times when I have birth, my mum was away on holiday! Aiyo, I don't blame her as she is those easily stressed out kind. When she is stressed, she makes me more stressed!
So for this no3, I'll follow suit like no2. Mum in law stayed over and maid support. Order confinement food catering then I look after baby. As long as I have 2 people over to help plus no1 is in full day childcare, I'm ok. Things can be managed.
Not like no1 my time, super depressed when CL left. I rber bringing my baby over to my friends place n cried. Bc I was all alone in the world to do every single thing!
gone are those days!

Usha, hope u r feeling better now. Some pp can't take soya bean milk or dairy pdts during preg. Prob their bb dun like. My sis's frd would throw up whenever she had soy milk. I was ok but my tummy will be very bloated. No worries abt can't drink milk, can take calcium pills. I didn't drink much milk during #1 time too.
Katherine: be careful your remaining 6 wks no time to take when back at work then u lugi your leave leh!
Back then I booked my CL after wk20 detailed scan during rabbit year but the one I had in mind booked Liao. Luckily the alternative choice was a very gd CL.. My SIL booked at wk 8 after confirm preg coz hers dragon bb. Snake year duno CL in hot demand or not. Based on wat I read in July thread, the gd ones fully booked already.

me too! first time was highly emo. especially when the pd told me all the possibilities if bb dun admit rite away. change blood, learning disabilities, not growin well, etc... i cried till everyone was lookin at me in the clinic. when i called back that day to nurse on how bb level were, the nurse remember me as the cryin mom! he scare me til i do a extensive search on wat cause n the different type of bm n which group high chance, etc.. til now, i sort of blame the pd for scarin me shitless during my first time. 2nd time, change pd, n was alrdy prepared she will follow her sis condition, even planned which hospital, how many bed, who takin care of older one, etc.... but i didnt expect her to admit for 2nd time though.
rgdin to jaundice. ppl also advise drinkin melon sugar strips water, buyingthe flower from medicinehallto bath, to help. for those, who might want to try the alternatives.

I really envy those that the MIL can help out. I know of someone that the MIL and her maid take care of her, she didn't even need to change a single diaper during confinement (because her MIL said her body cannot touch uncooked water). But the downside... she is so well taken off and so pampered all the time (wakes up at noon on weekends, still... even with 2 kids)... Her youngest is 2 years already and she is still wearing some of her maternity pants. :-O And then she always ask me how come I can lose weight. Urm....
My MIL is looking forward to August. Then she can come and play and be entertained all day long. I am fearing those days. Sigh...
My mom doesn't wanna talk about at all. Refuses to stay away; but also refuses to be committed to help. My maid just wanna run away cos don't wanna deal with another baby.

Usaginoko: I think I'm a lazy mum. Maybe it's because I have been through it for no1 so I didnt want to stress myself for no2. As I mentioned, no1 very stubborn. I had so much milk flowing out yet he doesn't want to drink direct from my boobs. What's wrong? Don't know.
i felt like a complete failure because everyone around me was like busy Bfing n such. It was very depressing.
For no2, I was able to latch on and being a gal, no2 was mic easier to look after. She is a breeze compared to no1. I just BF till I returned to work. I pumped at home n provided for her till she was 8mths old. During times of insufficient supply on my part, I top up with formula milk. She is also very healthy n happy.
As long as we tried our best, we are all very good mothers!

Frog princess: I don't dare to depend too much on my mother in law also. Bc my hb that side still very dependent on her. She is staying with hb sis n family. N hb bro wife will also call her over supervise maid and kids once a while. I think confinement she should be ok. I do think my mum in law very good bc she is committed to helping me.
nothing to complain on my part. My mum on the other hand sometimes ok sometimes not ok. When she is not ok, she really doesn't give face n throw thanthrum. It made me very sad n depressed. Sad to say, I can only depend on myself, hubby and the maid. If nothing works out, hubby and I will send all to childcare. We have this understanding since no2 was born. Really no bian.

Bubbly29, you shld be the one deciding cos you are the one doing the confinement. U tell you hb is you dun feel comfortable, u may go into post natal depression (scare him ) For my 1st confinement, my Fil asked me to shift to his house n they will do confinement for me as they have a maid. I rejected him straight away cos he always has alot of comments on things. I think I will suffer if I really did the confinement at his hse.
Poky, we same same. Emo 1st mum. I was crying when bb waiting to be admitted at the KKH. My CL was with me and she kept consoling me but I just couldn't control my tears. When bb settled in the nursery, I refused or rather too scared to go see her fearing I will cry badly in front of my bb. Now I think back, felt abit silly cos I didn't know that it was common for bb to admit for phototherapy.

Bubbly: I agree with chocpockie. It's your confinement. Not your hubby's. So you have to be comfortable with the arrangement. If you own mum is ok to help u, all the merrier. Really, confinement sometimes can be v stressful so you should do things which is to your likely.
I wish I could scare him with the possibility of post natal depression if I have an unhappy and stressful confinement. I tried that method but he still says he wants to ask his mother to do it for convenience sake. I am super stressed each time people asked me who is doing my confinement...

wah… just didn't come for a day and so many active discussions siah… LOL
usaginoko: on sugar cane - sugar cane is "cooling" ("linage"), same principle as pineapple, water chestnut etc, so that explains why. Esp if the mother's body condition is already the "liang/cold" type, then it's better to avoid. Anyway, drink in moderation if really want to.
wlilian: coconut is "cooling" while coconut milk is not. BUT coconut milk is well known to give "wind", esp if it has been put out for some time. "Wind" will cause stomach upset…
Katherine: my HR is the other way round… we want to take 8 weeks then break up the rest of the maternity leave, but they dun allow because they said it's too troublesome for them to keep track on our maternity leave! (-_-")
diorly: is there another place that you can settle down for a while? the smell is not going to go off so soon...
Re all those having acne problem: since our acne is most likely hormone-induced, there is nothing much we can do about it. acne cream etc may improve the situation a little but usually not very helpful, so just bear with it until we give birth la…. i kenna hormone-induced acne a few rounds last time, so really understand the sucky feeling
the most effective treatment for this kind of acne has Retinol-A which is bad for babies, so pregnant women cannot take.
On sashimi: my hubby also banned me from all sashimi, but it's okie la, though i really love sashimi, i won't want to take the risk. it's not about whether the sashimi is fresh or not, is about the fact that it is raw food. once i thought of the possible consequence, the craving for sashimi drops to absolute zero immediately.. LOL
i supposed the main point is… if you are okie with it, eat with moderation. if you are going to be worried about it after eating, then maybe it's better to give yourself the peace of mind by avoiding.. hahaha

I have no where to run to.. They painting the outside doors of those electricity n water door? So overwhleming the smell..(wet paint!) i cover my nose with 2 shirts also can smell! I went out for lunch and come back n its slightly better. im still wearing a surgical mask..now its like dried paint. I just emailed to my MP to complain. Why didnt someone inform us there will be paintworks at our level so if we know we will not stay at home. I told him im so worried for the bb inside as im only like 10weeks plus and right now the development is the most crucial lor. Haizzz...Stupid painters!!!
sigh i was crying like a crazy person during my discussion w my hubby regarding childcare post birth... dunno who to help take care! i am more comfortable w my MIL cos she has taken good care of my niece, who is 3yo now. but.. my niece super sticky to her and will get jealous easily...
then my mum she's the super easily stressed out type. pls my father has early / mid stage dementia so emotionally not very stable sometimes.
i dont like infant care centres and am uncomfortable w a maid in my house. plus when we go work there's no one at home, and no room for maid to stay also. How leh? no solution.. so i just sat down and cry and cry cos feel bb so pitiful.. till my hubby cannot take it. HAHA.

Amanda, it's normal to worry. With no1, I pratically had to force my mum to look after him!
but after a while she is ok, but will throw thanthrum (my mum not my son) and said she is tired.
As much as we hope our parents or our in laws to babysit for us, we need to really see if they are committed to do so. Babysit is a full time job, no every grandparent can commit to it. Like my mum who likes to travel all the time.
Is this your no1? If yes, it's normal to worried if childcare or infant care good enough to meet your needs. But deep inside we all know if we don't have grandparents, don't have maids or ourselves to babysit in the day, the only choice left is ourselves choosing the best for our kids.
No need to cry.
can slowly discuss and resolve. When our boobs engorged with milk after childbirth and become as hard as rock, we then cry ok! ))

when will we be able to tell the gender of the bb?? we have alot of inspiration for name of bb girl .. but nothing in mind for bb boy .. is this a sign?? haha
U will be able to tell from week 16.
Just for FUN..
To predict gender using baking soda!! Use some baking soda mix with ur morning pee... If it sizzles and fizzles like beer means its boy. If its still, means its girl.
And to predict gender using purple cabbage. Boil purple cabbage for 10mins then let the cabbage water cooled.. then take some mix with ur urine. If it's red means its boy. If its purple means its gal.
Its like boys produce for acid and girls more alkaline.
Also if ur more horny during pregnancy, means its boy.. hahaha..
Best is ask a child to guess. If you have a child can ask him/her.. Else if a toddler boy is very attracted to ur tummy, means its gal..Opposite attracts! hahah!
