marriage cert - original.
 
Vi4n,

I went to KKH on Monday at 6am. Induced twice. Only gave birth the next day evening. Lucky I had my bolster.

Juju,

very cheap hor. I think member gets 10 to 15 % discount. Mine expired liao.
 
singapoh, during ur fet, on inserts, do u have the constipation feeling?
After inserting into our rectum, we can stand up immediately or must lie down for 1/2 hr?

Thanks!!
 
Vi4n,

me must hv bolster to zzz. Son and dh also like tat. We hv 3 bolsters in our bed. Sometimes my son treat me like a bolster. Haaa..
 
Singapoh, wah.. N your bed is queen size only?
I also need bolster to sleep but if outside then jus replace it with pillow ;)
 
Singapoh, not in 2ww yet, going for ET tomorrow morning. ok, maybe not used having something stuck in the butt, felt funny lor.
I will be going back to work next week, so scared when i am back to work, so won't have the luxury to lie down after inserting, scared will drop off. Thanks!
 
Gan,

if u insert deep enuf, it won't drop out one. I do it while standing up then continue whatever I was doing except lying down. All the best in yr ET!
 
Need to pack nipple cream, marriage cert and pump?

I tot marriage cert is for baby's registration only?

Pump for wat har? I tot first few days wont have milk? Furthermore, if hv milk, wldn't it better to direct latch on?

The list I'm reading here is much comprehensive than that from the antenatal class leh....
 
Singapoh - you can take ur time as it is not so urgent

stb - I had read that milk will start to flow btw 24-48hr after delivery so u might want to bring along the pump as I'm sure there wld be classes where they will taught you how to latch/pump properly and it wld be easier with the pump around
happy.gif
 
hey, no need to bring pump, the lactation nurse will visit you and wheel in a hospital grade medela pump for you to stimulate milk production. she'll advise you to start pumping for half an hour, every 3 hours.
 
Stb,

if no milk in the first few days, the more u need to latch on/pump. Like wat Spiffy said, u can use KKH's pump. Dun hv to bring yours.

Most asian women get their milk flow few days later.
 
gan,
sorry to interrupt.

all the best in your fet! btw, r ur finger nails long or short? if long, better to buy finger cots or gloves to help the insertion.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry to interrupt... I am starting my cycle soon and just received the BT results from my gynea last week.

May I know is there any way to improve/increase our progesterone level? What is FSH, Luteinizing, and Estradiol means and what is the ideal reading?

Thank you.
 
hi soon-to-be, as oxidised said, when they are 35 weeks and 2kg, so a few more weeks. Cant wait!
happy.gif
They're getting a bit more filled out.. when they cry, so adorable, sounds like a lamb.

oxidised, you bringing breastmilk to them daily? that's what i've been doing every day.. one is in NICU and the other has moved to Special Care.
 
Wah, oxidised, wat abt to urs that Dr Loh made such comments?

Spiffy, how heavy r ur boys now? I remembered that you were saying they were already 1.5 before u got admitted....
