Reiki, think u r asking me right Hee. Wow 100 ml is a lot! Did she say why? My bb taking 80 now. Are you mixing with FM now? If she clears and I go full on BM think I can't last long of she continues to up intake... Unless my supply increase too haha.
Zantasha, I had epi with C also. Had abit of back pain in hospital but so far till now I didn't experience any back pain.

By the way ladies, do you all drink any water during confinement? I felt abit of burning sensation when I pee yesterday... Hmm but only when I pee to the end. I scared its UTI coz I haven't took any water since hospital? Any advice?

i think the purpose of the next appt is just for a papsmear so it doesn't matter when is the appt?
ladies with dr ang as pd, did dr ang ask u to bring baby back for a review after 1 month? when i asked during the last appt, they said it's just a review no jab. i dun intend to do the jabs with dr ang, have already booked appt for vaccinations with kkh pcc.

sometimes i'll add some warm or hot water to the LRD tea to make it more dilute. since u are bf-ing, u have to drink at least 3 litres of fluid every day, so LRD tea, soups, altogether should make up 3 litres.

Hope I drank warm plain water. The purpose not to drink plain water is to prevent water retention. But I drank a lot of plain water too. I ask my massage lady if my water retention is bad, n she said no. So I think it's ok to drink plain water.
N my sil drank lots of plain water n few yrs later, she's still so slim. So no pro to drink it.
Eskimobaby I din wen back dr and for review. I bought my bb to other pd for jab n first month review.

Girl Girl, good to hear that your checkup went well and that you are considered low risk!! Don't worry, still plenty of time for baby to turn. Your baby has good weight too and sounds so active! Mine on the other hand is only so-so active. I mostly feel the movements in the evening. Sometimes I wonder if it is because my tummy is so big that I can't feel much. Sounds like you are pretty much set, prepared and ready!
We have our hospital tour at the end of this month. We are also planning to settle our pre-registration then so when my water breaks, no need to stress about these things!

eskimo, congrats on surviving confinement, lol!
Actually I think the purpose of postpartum review with gynae is also to check whether our uterus has shrunk back to normal size and to check if anything out of the ordinary (e.g. remnant placenta in rare cases). Usually abt 6 weeks after delivery. But I guess timing doesn't really matter too.
I'm also doing the cervical cancer vaccination jab (3 doses in all) so shun bian see the doc for review next visit.

Sade, luv, eskimobaby, can share how much your baby drinking at 1mth old? Need to start buying 9oz bottles. Then realised also have 11oz. Shld i just go for 11oz or 9oz can last few mths....
Eskimo baby first month jab 2nd dose of hep b. but I went few days aft first month.
Adeline I don't think it's menses yet if u r bf. how many month aft delivery alrdy? cos during confinement my lochia came on n off. for menses should be a lot according to my massage lady.
Reikibaby I can't advise u on the bottle cos I fully latch on during first month. n also ur bb is bigger size.
luv thou cervical cancer vaccination is for women below 26 yrs. now still can jab aft giving birth?

Eskimobaby, congrats!!! I'm counting down to 3 weeks! Can't wait! By the way, my bleeding seems to pick up these few days don't know why. Just when I thought its not that much.

Reiki, i latch and supplement with FM. So i dun give full feed in bottle yet. Still can use smaller bottles in my case.
sade, my doc suggested the jab so i suppose can. I tot might as well take cos in the past cldn't take while TTC. Now think i closing shop liao might as well take now.
Babysmurf, why polyclinic only give to women below 26?

Reikibaby, same as Hope, my bb intake is 80ml now. I wish I can pump 100ml like you! Gonna try latching baby again once my nipples are not so painful.
Anyway, I brought baby to pd today. My baby still has jaundice but doctor says don't need to do blood test or sun baby anymore. She also didn't say if I should up baby's intake. But I asked if can give baby water. She said it's ok.
Ladies with carpal tunnel, do you feel numb after you express milk (even on electric pump)?

Hi Babysmurf, Tx for asking. Hit wk28 today and babies are each 1.1kg which is within the normal range. The OGTT was horrible though - I thought cld eat after the first blood draw but no, only after the 2nd one which was 2hrs later. Felt so faint from hunger n the sugar drink made me feel so queasy n sick. Thank goodness passed the OGTT according to Dr Tan in the afternoon. He still didn't ask me to settle admission stuff yet - maybe too early. U are abt 2wks ahead of me - this wk, wk30. So fast time passes and will pass! In 2 more months, 8 weeks, we should be able to see our babies! Did u do 3d scan in the end?
Hi Lil Ponyo, is good to get recommendations for part time helpers from friends/neighbors. Usually $50 for 3-4 hours but most importantly they need to be honest (hence better to rely on recommendations). I'm also getting breathless n told my hubby that now I m in 3rd trimester, I'm not doing anymore housework cept for babies stuff (like their laundry). I used to take care of laundry while he does the rest but I m too tired n breathless to iron or hang up clothes anymore. He has to cope till the maid comes in, ideally start May. Have not bought the bunk bed yet as contemplating getting a single bed with a pull out bed beneath instead so the room won't look so crammed. This weekend will need to settle this last.
I don't know if I am being overly paranoid but I have not cut off the tags of any babies stuff that I have bought - even the swaddles are still packed as they came. Wonder when is the right time to start preparing for arrival as in washing clothes, swaddles n open milk bottles to wash etc...

Usagi, yes I on Aircon the whole day! Only when I'm having meals there's no Aircon or fan....hmm CL said fan cannot blow direct to me so didn't on the fan.

Who is next now? Sorry, I can't find the spreadsheet
Mofmm, your babies are good weight and growing well!!! Regarding the part-time maid, unfortunately a lot of people I ask don't know anyone. Will keep trying. Ya every weekend, we try to be as productive as we can as we are busy with work during the week. This weekend, I'm planning to clear out my wardrobe. Need to purge all the clothings that I hardly wear. DH and I realised that we have accumulated so much junk in the house!
Don't worry, you can start unpacking and washing your baby clothes bit by bit. As babysmurf recommended, you can keep in ziplock bags to avoid dusts.
Girl Girl, I find your little girl so cute and active
Hee hee!
