(2015/01) Jan 2015 Mummies


@xicloudix congrats babe! your bb is very cute! :)

Thanks for all the kind words mummies, i feel so much better today, a proper shower can do wonders for the spirit, i feel alot more human now, haha. My boy is doing good, no more fever since admission, n he's feeding well. So far all the preliminary tests are clear, jaundice also stable at 160+, no need photo therapy, all we need now is one last blood culture test result, if that's also clear, he can come home tomorrow noon. i got the lactation consultant to teach me how to massage my boobs and manual pump this morning, managed to squeeze out 3 ml ... later at home i managed to squeeze out another 4 ml, n just now when i visited my boy at 7pm, i latched him for 15 mins, and in NICU they weigh the bb before and after a breast feed, and his weight actually increased by 10 ml! Dunno accurate or not, but nonetheless, i'm now doubly encouraged to continue pumping and latching, and then supplement the shortfall with formula. Jia you everyone!

That's the right attitude ..

Btw beside latching abs pumping u need to take in more fluid to create " fluid"

Really mine hurts abit though. When they insert the tube inside. Prob because he didn't wait for the effect to kick in before he insert the epi tube):

How are you now?
Delivered yet?

Hi all,

Finally delivered after 21 hours of labour .. Cervix took a much longer time to dilate even after the medication. After 15 hours, only dilated till 3cm.. Luckily once it hit the 5cm mark things sped up quickly. The actual birthing process was quick though like 10 mins . Wishing all mummies a smoother delivery.

Now am feeling sore below but pain is bearable took me a long while before I attempted the first pee. Baby says hi to all the mummies! :)

Anyway doc told me should take about 1week:)

Yup my gynae said abt 1 week too. I didn't dare to pass motion but finally did so on 3rd day. The lactus I took helped a lot..didn't feel much pain. Went for my gynae appt to check my stitches yest and gynae said I'm healing well. Just rem to clean the wound area properly and often enough.
 
Using a condom filled up with water and froze it to become an ice stick. After morning shower, wrap ice stick with wet tower and hold it to stitches will not only numb pain but also helps stitches to heal much faster. I enjoy doing it. Pls throw ice stick after each use. To all great mummies.
 
I think I'm engorged. Both my (.)(.) are so so so painful until i cry lor...Feel lumpy too. Why life is so diffcult. 1st wound pain, Now wound + (.)(.) pain....
 
I am feeling very Emo as the days passes... don't know is it because I scared or what... Do you feel the same?

Krissyun- Pls think positive.
Try to do things u normally like doing eg watch tv or drama or books .
Dun think too much, when depress, tok to someone , vent it here or SMS ur close friends or jus look at ur newborn.. U will feel better ..
I was also v emo few days after I gave birth to my son on 21 dec 14.
I cried almost every night and I feel so sad . ESP when all attention diverted to my newborn and seems no one cares abt me.
I feel so many things restricted and confined in the Hse as a first time mom.
My body figure all change w an incisional wound from c sec.
And also due to birth, can't have xxx with husband for few weeks...
All these accumulated , will make one be emo .
Try think positive ok... Mus take care Urself..

Yup, thanks babe. I think it's first timer anxiety issue, I just talked to my hubby about it.

I guess emotional roller coaster is normal, we just need to pick ourselves up eventually? I do hope you are feeling better now... Like you say we can chat here and share our problems. You take good care too okay! :)

Funny leh , the day I give birth , the nurse tell me to go poo ... Must poo .. So I just go poo .. This time round , I'm surprised that I poo so fast .. Last time also so scare to poo .. Scare will affect the stitches... But think abt it ... It's not that pain at all .. Think the uterus contraction is more painful ...
