hi jane
I almost wanted to give up at times...but hubby, family, friends and colleagues gave a lot of support...including my gynae who scolded me till i cried cos i sent my hubby to him and told him i didn't want to stay in hospital anymore
that's why i'm sure kkf and all in similar situation can do it as well...somehow, everyday just became a routine and you find some points to look forward to.
being in the holiday season helps as well...look forward to xmas, then new year then cny...
of course, reading this thread in the forum and getting support from all of you as well

yan, bloom,shellow
agree with bloom and shellow,thk it IS a factor that women now more stressed, expected carry more 'portfolio'/roles even when preg.of coz it takes a toll. think before women also do lots but not so mental stress. think oldern days, tend to have other women help out each other when cant cope. nowadays everything DIY or endure endure both at work and at home. dun think age is factor for prem labour, high bld coz some young ladies also get it. think that factor more for conceive
I dun think I can handle both work and children. I think something will lose out. even now I not work, I am still stressed abt finances. It seems I cannt 'hands off' coz of people expectations of me/women today
mimeole
that's gd lah so ur kid more attention from ur mum. I'd prefer to have part time helper than maid too. yesterday my girl cry coz my sis maid went home. when she is here, she tends to take over from me. I thot never mind but even that has an impact even if she sees that maid only 2x a wk

You are magnificent! Jia you! I was in KKH for x'mas and new year in 2005, then gave birth pre-maturely 2 days before CNY. The good thing about staying in KKH during festive seasons is the whole ward is empty except yourself....machan super A class ward where u hv nurses all to yourself.....haha joking here.

Hi Ladies,
I am really worried about my girl today. The nurses have re-assured me that for preemies, there are always Ups and Downs...but this is one day that I'm starting to get worried..I have felt optimistic...but...maybe I tell ya all the story.
Today is the longest day that I stayed at KKH with Jerlynn.
She was breathing real hard when I saw her at about 1pm... The nurse asked us not to leave yet as the doctor wants to speak to us. I looked at the monitor on her Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate. Her pulse was extremely fast going up to 180 and averaging 170, and her Respiratory was also high... She did not look relaxed as she always did. My heart sank..I hope nothing is wrong with her... She also looked hungry, her mouth keep looking for food and she kept sucking her thumb...
The doctor came, and he explained to us that her lung collapsed and thus explained the high heart rate. She has to breathe harder for the oxygen needed. Lung collapsed meant that part of her lung has shrunk a little...They have arranged for a Physio Therapist to help her massage her lungs and aid expansion...
She also had indigestion that casued her to vomit some greenish liquid after her feed, they did an X-ray on her, and her abdomen looks fine. They further took some of her blood for tests and they are hoping that she has not any infection that might caused the indigestion. The results will be out in 2 hours' time. They have stopped feeding her for one feed time and will resume at 2pm...They are feeding her 17mls per 2 hourly now. As long as she does not vomit again, her indigestion should be ok.
Me and her daddy decided that we will stay on longer to wait for the results and all...Meanwhile we pacify her a little and went to register her birth and have lunch. Her birth cert last 4 no. was coincidently her Lunar Birth Date..which is 6th Dec, 0612...
Next time I'm sure i won't forget her Lunar Birth Day...
Had lunch and went up to accompany Jerlynn again, just nice the Physio Therapist was there and started to do some Patting motion and massaging motion on her. She also use suction and cleared her mucus. This process took more than 15 mins and I think they will only doing it maybe tmr too. After that, Jerlynn had her feed...It was 4 pm liao. She did not vomit her 2pm feed...
The blood test results were out, Thank God everything is normal. Doctor says that now they will monitor her for tonight. As long as her lungs are ok and she will not vomit her feeds tonight, they will take out the standby "Drip" on her hand, as Jerlynn looks really uncomfy with the huge tube on her hand to standby for use of glucose or vitamins. Since her milk intake has increased, doctor says there is no need for the drip liao.Today she weighs 1505g.
As we see that she has fall back asleep comfortably, we left the place...
PS; Sorry for the long post..I copied from my blog...

Hi kkf
Have you bought cordlife for violet yet? Just to share with you this CNY promo which I would be taking up cos it seems to be the best promo so far - better than their last Xmas promo. Below is from my Cordlife rep:
However, it only applies to the 10-yr & 21-yr plan and all other promotions including referral are not applicable.
Here's the breakdown:
1) 10-Yr Plan : S$2888+GST (with 2yrs waiver- on the 9th & 10th yr)
Price include
- S$600+GST
(non-refundable if contaiminated or maternal blood found positive of HEP C, HIV or HTLV I/II, or cell count below 100 million stem cells if storage not continued)
- S$288 +GST
(processing fee, maternal blood testing, cordblood testing)
- S$2000+GST
(8yrs annual storage fees)
2) 21-Yr Plan: $S5138+GST (with 4yrs waiver- on the 18th, 19th, 20th & 21st yr)
Price include
- S$600+GST
(non-refundable if contaiminated or maternal blood found positive of HEP C, HIV or HTLV I/II, or cell count below 100 million stem cells if storage not continued)
- S$288 +GST
(processing fee, maternal blood testing, cordblood testing)
- S$4250+GST
(17yrs annual storage fees)
For both plans above, would be S$0 upfront if you opt for CDA account as a mode of payment.

bloom,
i delivered in KKH & my twins now in NICU.
gingal,
both my twin boys r in NICU. have been really busy & tired in & out of KKH & expressing BM besides looking after my gal & doing confinement. dun worry too much & stressed yourself out. couple of days back i was told one of my boys got stage 1 bleeding in the brain & after i stepped out of NICU, couldnt contain my tears any longer & cried out. but doc said all these symptoms r pretty normal & typical of preterm babies. they will get better each time as they mature. so i m staying postively for the sake of my babies. as a mother, we r supposedly to be closest to our babies, so u hv to be strong & hang on there for your child. pls eat & rest well so that u hv the energy to produce good BM for your baby. i go to visit my twins almost everyday. perhaps we can meet up to support each other if u dun mind. u can reach me at [email protected].

Hi all,
My PIL went to visit my girl in the late evening just now. They went in time to see her being fed...after that they told me that she slept really comfortably again. The nurses has told them that she is doing fine already. I felt really relieved now....
Thanks for all the encouragements!

Your girl is a fighter. Life being a premie for the initial months is like a roller coaster, they go backwards but also bounce back very quickly. My girl had a number episodes of lung collapse too. I guess as the neo nat in charge, she/he had to give feedback on both good and bad...so sometimes the medical term use could be scary. As the parent of premie, we go on a emotional roller coaster rides too. Nevertheless all these will be over soon and I believe all of us here will value life more than before, and also understand the meaning of real happiness. Stay focus on getting nutritional food for your body so that your milk will be very nutrious for your baby. Jia You.
day-C
Don't know what to say as house issue is also very important to a family. But at this stage, it should be secondary as you have a little baby in you. You never know, by the time you deliver your baby, all your teething issues might has a solution. So just stay in JB for the time being and lock into Singapore Motherhood Forum to chit chat with us. Leave $$ matter to the MAN of the house. Everyone can only bear to a certain limit at each point of time. You have your priority.

gingal,
dun wori abt the lungs issue, it is common for preterm babies to have that & they will eventually be better as their system matures. my younger boy was diagnosed with left liver got air & couldnt get off his body during the 1st few days of his stay at NICU. me & hubby was so worried, it din get better but instead after another x-ray, the right liver also got affected. luckily both lungs recovered after the 2nd week. so be patient & most impt be positive
kkf,
i m ur neighbour who stays in the same block as u & went to ur plc once with my gal & my dog remember? btw, think i saw dash at faith educare when i sent my gal 1st day to the centre. how long dash been attending nursery there? my gal no longer there liao cos' his daddy feels tat the school teacher nt very caring & attentive towards the children. wat is ur opinion?

my hubby saw you too, n said you preggy. wowowow! you having twins!
good good you have 3 kids now, next time we meet up again!
regarding faith educare, dash started attending since december. i really can't say much abt the centre. I always buy things to poh those teachers and supervisor, haha, so they are rather caring towards my boy and my boy enjoys talking to them. He is quite happy there, so i just keep one eye close on certain things...
I have send him to tots house and little skoolhouse b4, all centres are erm...pros and cons, so eventually gave up, send him to the one nearest and as long as he is adapting well, i just close one eye...

Just to let u know that A's cousin (same age) kena pneumococoal even though he was vaccinated. Symtons are on and off cough for more than a month...cough badly when having cough but phlegm clear....then high fever up to 46 (highest), then come down but shoot up to 40+ again. Now he is on antibiotic drip at KKH.
Doc. said that pneumococal virus have up to 40 strains and the jab that our children get here is for 7 strains......
Luckily my nephew in law is responding well to the antibiotic.

bbgal,
Thanks for the re-assurance..hope my girl gets better today...Am visiting later...
xbliss/chloegal,
Both of your boys down with fever? Better take care of yourselves to take care of them wor...
Me also down with fever ytd afternoon...Dunno is it due to Breasts engorgement. Took Panadol and was much
better at night, then asked hubby to use all his bull strength to help me unblock my blocked ducts.
The engorgement was so bad, I couldn't even lift up my arm...does engorgement caused fever? Or is it due
to the extremely heaty food I took for confinement?
costa del sol,
Yes, My girl is still in NICU Step Down Unit. she is exactly 2 weeks old today.
Is yours also still in kkh?
