Hope, to stop BM, u can either take med or just gradually stop expressing milk. Ur milk will eventually reduce n stop over time if there's no demand. But do think twice cos there's almost no turning back if u change ur mind. The first weeks r the hardest n things do get easier. Jiayou! Ultimately decide on the choice that wld make u a happier mummy. Happier mummy = happier baby

Bb shower, its the pumping session that makes you tired, or cos you still have to do the sterilisation and other chores so alladd up n make you so tired? Mayb see if you can get help in other areas. But then again... if really feel tired and stressful then slowly drag the pump timing to reduce. Cos some says not so gd to stop using medication. Jiayou!!!!
Luv, for avent pump, what are the parts that cannot sterilise? Those avent storage cups, can sterilise right? The blue lids and adaptor too?
Eskimobaby, sade, Luv, from experience, dun need bring pumps to hospital? Chances milk wont flow in so soon so can just latch to stimulate? If realli engorge then can bring in pumpnxt day? Will tmc help to sterilise? So far anyone of you nees to pump at hospital? Seems like most of you have good latching experience.

Reikibaby, hmm epidural is ok... Perhaps I was using laughing gas when I had the epi. C sec I'm not scared coz I know no pain plus I already had my epidural so it's ok for me. Have you decided what to do? Induce or C?
Lil Ponyo, thanks for the encouragement! Hope I can do a good job!

Reiki, I brought my manual pump along. I did use the pump cos I had sore nipple after latching so the nurse told me to stimulate by pumping instead of latching. The nurse did sterilise for me a few time, the rest of the time I use hot water to sterilise.

Good morning sisters!
Congrats, Hope! I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondered if you've popped. Didn't come online over the weekend and delighted to hear that you and bb are doing well!
Reikibaby, I'm still here. Haven't popped yet! Feeling heavy lately and wondering when bb's gonna come out!
Btw, ladies, I haven't washed my breast pump. They say don't need to bring to hospital cos hospital will have right?

ReikiB, can sterilise all parts of pump except the tubings (for dual pump) and the motor.
I didn't bring a pump to the hospital for #1 and just latched. For #2, I had to ask my hubby to bring it down subsequently cos bb was too sleepy to latch well and I needed to stimulate my breasts more. Can always stand by at home and bring if necessary.

Eskimobaby, Luv, thanks. Think i will just sterilise one round of the pump and bring to hospital bah.
Just wondering when we go into delivery ward, be it natural or csect, we can bring our bag in? Possible to inform the nurse that we want to use own sanitary pad? Cos really dun like thick loop pad...lols.
Luv, so even the lid of the cups can sterlise hor?
Precious baby, if GA, then hubby cannot go into the delivery ward and witness the birth of baby. Heard with epidural, will not feel pain....just feeling pressure at tummy area

Koirc, thanks! You going for natural right?
Precious baby, Reiki is right you won't feel pain and will only feel pressure. DH can go in with you and you can hear bb's first cry plus hold her!
Reiki, trying to find the right position for latching but getting better abit I think. I brought pump and start pumping just to stimulate faster milk flow after bb latch. But bb has mild jaundice so we agree to supplement with FM to prevent dehydration. Oh C with epi? Can share which day. You will see your bb soon!!! Hmm prince or princess? Sorry I forgot Hee.

Koirc,
I believe the protocol for any surgery or procedure is that the patient can't wear anything just in case if there's any complications they dun have to waste time cutting away ur bra or underwear so likewise for delivery.

Jiayou, Koirc.
I just went for routine gynae check this morning, so far so good. No signs of delivery. I am glad I did all my shopping, nowadays I feel tired just by walking.

Hi koric, congrats and jiayou! I'm waiting for my turn.
Don't know when will it be and what sign I'll get. But fr afternoon I've been feeling pulling on my tummy not painful and not like mensus cramp wonder if this is contraction?
Went for routine checkup Doctor said baby's head is close to cervix, anytime will pop.

Sade, thanks! Hmm so when you get down the bed do you get down when we are heavily preg? It's really good to have u ladies giving me advice.

Hope,
yes i do sleep sideways... everything do slowly, the reason they want u to get down of the bed and walk is so that u know the level of pain and know how to manage the pain before u can go home.
