Aniwei mummies here, i'm puzzled. Faiq has small little bumps on his face. Is that normal?

berjaya jugak i upload the pic of the pill ikan haruan. sorri la gambar tak clear sangat bec i ni amateur betul abt this kind of thing. this is the actual bottle, it comes in a square box with the same design and color scheme as the bottle. so far i only see this brand yg ade.

anyway welcome babylee and aisha

wah fancy smancy betul name name sekarang. to think that my dad almost named me siti aminah...hehhe
 
nora,its okie. Nanti kalo senang i drag hubby turun sane carik. Bole bli karpet baru fpr CNY. :p

sharena, the spelling 'shaquille' pun okie jgk. Cume panjang sikit jer. Mcm Shaquille o'neill- the basketball player.

babylee, welcome!! yr gal name memang very nice.

My hb pun chinese ah-beng. My son insist dia bukan Chinese tapi "Chinese-Muslim'. :p
 
Lynzi,
You're not the only one. Thea, my girl, also ade that small bumps. At first I tot is due to heat. But she's been drinking lots of water. Then maybe is due to me breastfeeding her at night. Cos malam dia nak ngempeng. Maybe she rub her face against my nipple kot? I'm not sure tapi I pun been wondering how to clear the bumps.

Zu,
Congrats on your newborn baby girl. Dah complete kan. Got 1 boy and 1 girl. Or you nak many many...
At least ur inlaws ade help you during confinement. Me ngan inlaws macam ayam and itik. Frequency tak sama.
 
babylee, i wish can have many many la... Tapi it seems that God can gime two only. Me and ILs okie la. Kadang they talk to me in Mandarin, yang i tak faham pun main iye kan aje. Esp my FIL, dia ingat DIL dia nie cine tulen. Cakap mandarin v cheem.

lynzi, the bumps tu cud be milk rash. Just take warm water and wipe yr baby's face afetr each feed. Adam had dat when he was younger Thankfully Sarah so far seems okie.
 
Zu,
Hahahah...at least ur PILs cakap Mandarin ngan you. Mine orang Hakka. Dorang cakap hakka langsung I tak faham kalao Mandarin takpelah. Abeh, kalau my PILs dah start cakap melayu ngan I, langsung I tak faham. Sebab pelat ... hee ... heee... Ahpor (granny) my hubby lagi keep wondering how come I tak cakap Hakka. Dia ingat I ni pun Cina. Kesian dah 4 tahun dia masih tak figure out.
 
Ok gerls, i will try to wipe his face after every feed. When I saw the small bumps i thought the milk is heaty and the bumps could be ruam panas but don't know how to make th bumps go away.
 
To all those who are interested to get the jeli gamat, u can call habatul baraka at 6841 8014.

Th company can deliver to your hse. Jeli gamat ni not onli gd to keringkan jahitan but u can take it as collagen for your skin. Its in the form of capsule so for those like me yg tak boleh take jeli gamat in water form then this is good sebab tak rasa pahit pun, juz telan aje.
 
congrats & welcome to all mommies.

Penat betul hari2 bila balik fr work....now i dah almost 5mths preggy...balik layan the 2 boys lagi....i didn't gain much weight fr this pregnancy....see how next week wat is the weight my baby kat dlm perut nie...hopefully doing good and well...
 
eh.. betul cakap shimmers.. banyak betul org preggie kat thread nie...

my boy had his first hair cut (not counting the cukur rambut). We were quite worried that he will cry. but that wasnt the case, he made both his mamie and daddy very proud, he just muke masam aje but not a sound from him.
 
For me I cut my girl's hair myself. She knows when she is going to mommy's "salon". I just prop her on the counter and start cutting her fringe. Ok lah for a first timer.

Babylee
Ur gynae is Lawrence Ang? Clinic in Sembawang and in the morning he'll be in Thomson? If yes, then he was my gynae also...Very friendly and made me comfortable. The only thing I wonder, why most of his patients went thru C-sect including me? How about you? Normal ke C?

Lynzi
U makan the Jeli gamat frm Habatul Barakah tu tak? Is it really good for the skin?

Nora
I told you kan banyak yg sedang hamil..tu sebab mcm memanggil I to join gitu!! HEHEHE
 
Shimmers, Xpu

Yes, that's him. Mine was normal delivery. He got to induce me as I was overdue. Very fast for my first try. I was induce at 11 at night. 1am start labour pain and I gave birth at 4. My hubby saw everything and he was trembling. Ok ah so far. We took the 4 bedded and was upgraded to 2. Total cash pun less than $1K. Ini pun dah termasuk deposit of $600.

But the next one nie, I'm abit in dilemma. I'm thinking of taking the single bed. That time kesian my hubby, he got to wait by himself at the family room. Furthermore I'm not sure if my daughter can sleep on her own without me or my hubby around. Cos I've been breastfeeding her to bed every night. Hmmm...how?

Now I'm trying to put her to sleep on her own. Pun tak jalan. Nak ngempeng aje.
 
Shimmers, yes i did take the jeli gamat. I guess i'm a bit on the kiasu side as during confinement i took the jeli gamat, pati ikan haruan, jamu and also applied ibu gamat on my stitches after washing with dettol mixed with 2 parts water.

Babylee, dr lawrence ang from tmc rite? That means the 2 bedder quite cheap eh. Cos i took 1 bedder in kkh and after medisave deduction and deposit i still have to pay another $500. But then i had 2 doses of epi..hehe.
 
Ya. Stay at 2 bedded but 4 bedded nye charges. Dr Lawrence pun ade advise, it's better to admit time at night jadi dorang tak charge the whole day. Then the nurses pun at TMC oso very nice. That's why I nak balik TMC with this 2nd one.

But Lynzi, my friends banyak have bad experience kat KKH. They say the service not that good although it's suppose to be a delivery and children hospital. I pun ade bad experience with my girl kat KKH when she was 1 month old.

My girl was having high fever and initially we were admitted to class C since we came in during the night. After 2 days, then we got transferred to Class B yang 4 bedded. Before that, they took my baby away cos they want to put the tube kat dia nye hand. So I told the nurses I'll wait for my baby lah. Then they assure me it's ok. They will help to bring my baby to the other ward at Class B. You tahu, I waited and waited and they never come up. I went down, I saw my baby all alone kat dia nye cot bed at Class C crying. Can you imagine I nye shock! I blew my temper kat semua nurses kat situ. AFter that, I took a pic of my girl to remind myself never to make them end up kat hospital. Kesian.

Hello Lynn02.welcome welcome.
 
Hi Lynn
welcome!

Babylee
U r rite!! I really enjoyed my stay in TMC..the nurses were really great la! Really took care of my wound, baby and everything. Im sure to go back again if Im pg with 2nd one..But u were lucky, Dr Ang never force you to do C-sect.. For me I rasa mcm he's a bit too pushy to let the baby out..by 37 weeks he said I can deliver nxt week and that was at 38 weeks. I told him I want to wait, then he said, wouldnt it be better to let the baby out so you can see him,hold him and feed him.. no need to see him via the "TV"(scan)anymore rite?? HAHAHAH boleh gitu?? Yg my hubby pulak dgr jer doc's suggestion, dgn cepat melompat asking me to opt for C maklomlah excited 1st time daddy!!
Alahai kesiannya ur gal tu bila kat KKH! That hospitalkan I cant comment much and you cant expect anytg more also frm them eh..the nurses will give you one kind of look if you ask too much Q tau..I cant stand their service. A no-no hospital for my son.

Xpu
You are not the only one I heard frm goin thru C-sect with Dr Ang..a lot more went thru the same thing! Sometimes I wonder if C is his expertise??The 1st only patient I knew not having C with him is Babylee.. So tell me about yours pulak,how come C?

Lynzi
Now whats Ibu gamat pulak?? U mean you washed your wound with dettol during confinement sendiri? Tak pedih n ngilu ke?? I dont dare. I asked hubby to do it while I placed pillows on my face...hahaha pain endurance not good leh!
 
Hi Shimmers,

For me, I tried going for normal delivery, however, after 12 hours, still have not dilated..masih 1 cm can you believe it??? By the way, my water bag dah leak and as I'm afraid that my baby is in a dangerous situation, I followed his suggestion to go for c-section although I was really hoping that I could deliver normally. However, he did not really force me though. My hubby and myself still have to make the decision. I go for it just because I did not want to harm my baby.
By the way, he also said that I could wait longer, however, he's afraid that if i were to wait longer, I will be very weak and will have not enough strength to push my baby out.

He also said that there's another patient who came into the labour ward the same time as me but after 12 hours already dilated to 9cm so can go via normal delivery..

But them, c-section really traumatising man! I vomited 3 times..hijau..sakit dia nauzubilah..I still remember the 1st time I stand up to go to the ladies..I can't describe the pain man..

I was thinking do you think I could try for normal delivery if I were to deliver my 2nd baby although I went for c-section for the 1st one?
 
Welcome lynn!!

Babylee, kesian your gal. But so far i have never had any bad experience in kkh. Lagipun i love my gynae...hehe and somehow the nurses are nice.

Shimmers, ibu gamat tu is a topical solution. Tu i dab2 on the stitches. The dettol i used sikit je, about 1 tablespoon mixed with water. Everytime after urinating or changing my pad i will wash wif tap water to istinjak. Then for the dettol solution i juz used gayung and wash. After dat then apply ibu gamat. Tu semua my mum yg ajar. First time memang ngilu. After that dah ok. I guessed its effective since my stitches dropped after 6 days.

Gerls, my family doc ever did recommend another gynae from tmc but its a lady. U gerls may wanna try her.

2moro i'm bringing faiq for his 5 in 1 jab at my family doc's clinic. Hopefully faiq won't fall sick after that.
 
Gerls, ppl cakap minyak bubut pun bagus to sapu kat our wound. I bought berbotol botol. Every time ke toilet to wash up, I just pour the minyak on my wound. Alhamdulilah the stitches dissolve cepat.

Lynzi, good luck lah. Hopefully ur Faiq tak nangis. Kata hero.
 
Babylee, if faiq never cry then its really my lucky day.

juz now brought him to wdlds library and after reading to him 2 books, he suddenly gave a loud wail. Malu sey. I think the whole library can hear him. Rupanya he wanted milk. Luckily we were at kids' section. If not surely dah kena halau..hehe.
 
hi all,

Pasal KKH service, i dont have any problem with hospital. i tink their service is good. My gynae is very nice lady. So sweet.

Only during the delivery, i scold the mid-wife, dia ganas sgt, she keep on pushing me. sakit sgt.

luckly my gynae & husband is ard, they give me the moral support. if not, rasa mcm tak nak deliver gitu...hehehe.. anyway it all over..
 
Has been to the clinic. I'm so proud of my darling boy. He only cried for a short time while the doctor was administering the 6 in 1 jab.

Btw, faiq's weight has doubled since his birth. Now he's nearly 5 kg. Didn't know babies grow so fast..hehe.
 
Lynzi,
Wah! Hero betul lah anak you! Sekejab aje kan. Another 5 more jabs to go. No worries. Later when he's a bit bigger, I think, he will "growl" at the nurses for jabbing him.
 
Xpu
I think it shld be fine for a VBAC(Vaginal Birth After C-sect) provided you conceive at least 2 yrs after the 1st C-sect. I was thinking to do normal for my 2nd too,hopefully la..then again it will still fall back to gynae's advise kan.. here's something for you to read about VBAC
http://www.webmd.com/baby/tc/vaginal-birth-after-cesarean-vbac-overview

Lynzi
Im curiousla..U used dettol to wash the wound kan? Elaborate more if you can pasal when I read your msg above..u were saying ''Everytime after urinating or changing my pad i will wash wif tap water to istinjak. Then for the dettol solution i juz used gayung and wash''.-wash wound ke or?? Sorry eh a bit blurr la..Im just asking around how new mothers who had gone thru C-sect maintain their wound, something I can practise in future kan. U all buka the plaster all that just to clean the wound daily? You didnt go to clinic n let the doc to clean it when new dressing done?
Btw,Faiq was such a hero during the jabla..Bravo boy!!


Btw..nmpknya kita kita kita jer yg active at this moment..wonder mana mummies yg lain?
 
Hi Mummies!

Hi Misha,

happy.gif
 
Hi Lynn02 & xpu,

R u 2 SAHM or FTWM (full time working mum)? How old are your kids? I'm a FTWM; I tink kalau SAHM and jaga anak aje, bingit jugak!
 
Hi Misha,

I'm a FTWM, however I would love to be a SAHM. Yeah, Danryan, as you've said ..apa kan daya.. however me and hubby are working towards be becoming a SAHM once I "pop" my 2nd child.. but have to conceive first lah..haahaha..
 
xpu
yr 1st kid how old now??

misha, xpu & lynn
kat ne you all stay??

Me FTWM, have 2 sons, going to have my 3rd one on mid june 08.
 
Hi Danryan,

My baby girl goin to be 2 years old on 9 Mar 08, how time flies..
happy.gif
I'm staying in Woodlands. How abt you?

So your 3rd one goin to be a girl or a boy?
 
Welcome misha!!

Shimmers, i didn't go thru c sect lah my dear. Mine is normal birth but i had episiotomy. So the dettol solution i juz simbah je slowly onto the wound.

Yah lah. Faiq tu like hero but then on saturday nite he got fever. Nasiblah he does not seem to mind taking the fever medicine. By Sunday morning he was well. Syukur.

Babylee, faiq only have twice more jabs to go for as i took the 6 in 1 at my GP. So in march faiq will take 2nd dose of the 6 in 1 plus the rotavirus vaccination. When he is 1 yr old then i will let him take the vaccination for pneumococcal disease.

Wah, u gerls talk about being a SAHM. Me lak can never be one. So bored stay at home too long. That's why after i resign in june ni i will still be doing part time and some other freelancing job to keep my sanity...hehe.
 
Hi Xpu
Tks for the explaination...


BTW i'm FTWM, with 1 bb. he only 5mth onld. i pun kalau boleh nak jadi SAHM, tapi apa boleh buat. keje je lah..

btw i'm staying bedok .. u Danryan?
 
xpu

i stay in wdlands too....my 3rd one last month scan tak nampak....c how lah these 30th Jan...boy ke gerl i tak kisah but still stop at 3...

from my 2 previous normal pregnancy pon i washed with water mixed with dettol....just to ease the pain from the stitching....cepat jugak baik.

Nak tanya lah...for 2 yrs old nye vaccin kan....do my son need to go. Previously he took 4 in one at poly...anyone know what vaccin for 2yrs old
 
no prob lynn02.

Me pun nanti moving to Woodlands. I'm near the American School.
happy.gif
By the way, SAHM tak all roses lah. I dah biasa keje and travel. Then wen I got pregnant, I can't get along with my whse manager so I decided to tender. (takut takut anak terkenan muka macam dia) Dulu can spend like nothing, now, must think twice.
 
Ramainya staying in Woodlands! Dulu pun I stayed at Woodlands Drive 16, tapi pindah 2 years ago. Now I near Hougang.
Danryan,
ada vaccine lagi ke utk 2 years old? You mean chicken pox or pneumoccocal?
 
misha....tu yg i nak tau nie...coz kat my son nye health book, nurse ada tulis have to make appt for another vaccin tapi tak tau she wrote ape....nurse n doc nye writing bukan nye faham sgt...

i stay at wdlands drive 73
 


Danryan,

Kalau ur son dah habis jab yg 6in1 tu, the next one should be when he's 3 yrs old. My girl nye last jab 2 weeks ago. She turn 18 mths. So nurse kata must make own appointment when she reach 3. They cannot do the appointment for us since it's a long way to go.
