welcome to this board....please give us more details so tt we can update our table, like date of birth etc etc.....
yup, i think u can request to let bb stay longer in the hospital if you are not confident of taking care but bear in mind tt the hospital is not the cleanest of all places...
i felt the same way as you last time and worried to bring my bb back...and he caught the cough bug from the hospital again...but of cse if u are not confident, u can sound yr worries to the nursing sister.....
kkf is right, hernia operation is relatively minor..usually scheduled before bb goes home..

if u are concerned coz she is prem ->
norm they give u some hands-on traning/classes eg. bathing, let u feed baby urself, abt 4-5 sessions on common prem baby issues/basics. Hope that helps u to boost up ur confidence. can ask questions abt any concerns. do take down number of SCN, counseller, others to call if u have questions.anywayz dun scared-scared, when they declare baby ready to go home - they really check2 and sure abt it. And they will tell u if any other info to deal with.
I remember I also scared2, then the nurse tell me dun worry, once she is discharge she is ok. just treat her like normal baby.

hmm I recall, there is a trial stayover thingy u can opt for. means u stay one nite at hospital and then u handle baby. like testing. optional lah. extra cost tho
yup i was so scared if i had to use the CPR, I kept the notes near incase ah. well they say there are occasions when mum is like superwoman if her child is in danger heard of those real life stories whereby mum miraculously do something to rescue her child.

shelllow,
IMO, you mite want to delay sending your bb to infant care initially ? if you want to get a maid, you mite need someone to be with her, it's better not to leave the bb alone with her ? and you mite want to let your maid attend those lessons on CPR, bathing of the bb at kkh prior your bb return to your home ? not to worry, you will be fine, I rem when my elder boy return home, I was alone with him for 2 - 4 weeks, iirc and enjoyed every min with him

now i know what the "old" (aka experienced lah!) mummies here talk about relieving their experiences when we have new mummies joining us here..
shellow
this is the right place to share your concerns cos we all went through it, some harder than the rest.
my boy born 925g at 27wks, stayed nicu 1 mth and scn 1 mth. he had hernia about 2 months after his discharge when docs found the protrusion at the testes area. it's a pretty fast surgery lasting 1 hr but traumatic for me cos i had to stay over 3 days.. and literally panda eye after that. good thing for u is that the nurses in scn can take care of her.
like what the mummies have said, they will train us on bathing, changing diapers (which u should have started already?), feeding, and the CPR before discharge. i think they worried for the babies too! like daec, i kept the cpr notes accessible even though i am already first aid trained.
i know what your worries are about apnea, but i dun really tink there is great cause for it. It's more psychological than anything else especially if your gal is not desat anymore nearer to her discharge. If you have opportunity, ask to learn to bathe and breastfeed (which means that the tube will be taken off n she is totally on room air), and for the nurse to be with you when you try it. It is a feel of how it would be like when she goes home and also gives u an idea of what to look out for if she desats.
in the mean time, lots of kangaroo hugs for your gal everyday k? my boy put on a lot of weight when i carried him skin to skin a lot at SCN.
when my boy came home, i did everything on my own, including household chores. You may not be able to be that perfectionist and get everything done, but nothing beats spending time alone with the bb to bond. but of cos, if u would prefer a maid, then try not to let her handle the bb if still small size. i wanted to send my boy to infant care but they din accept cos he was premature and small. They claimed infant care easy to spread germs. can you count on relatives like mum and in laws? i hated that option cos i dun like the way they handle children, but i tell u, after so many months, nothing beats being cared for by your own relatives (of cos i know got some exceptions, but generally which relative will be so black hearted?).
powergal
saw that u having cradon's b'day at chalet?! aiyoh i tell u i am so fickle minded that i dunno wat to do!!! but my sis in law had her boy's celebration at chalet and they said it was so tiring having to organise all the bbq, decor, and attend to the kids. So think u better get more ppl to help so u can remain happy parents for the day! in the end, i tot just do pte affair at home with the immediate relatives. we shall cater simple but nice food lor. .heheh.. old style but i really cannot bear all that trouble and sweat!!!

Hi shelllow I bought an angelcare baby monitor when baby was home last time, it would sound if it did not detect any breathing or movement from baby. It is supposed to put under baby's mattress. haha, kiasu me. but it at least helped to set my mind at ease. you can get it from kkh. a bit expensive over 100 plus but think if can give you a peace of mind, why not?
dun worry, oh btw, haven't introduce myself leh, I am the oldest premature baby here, I am 30 years old liao lor, I am born 27 weeks too, dun worry, as long as the doctors and nurses say can discharge, that means your baby is perfectly normal liao, esp if he/she doesn't need to bring home any oxygen tank or wat right?
Yes, kkh will require to attend this and tat courses before you bring baby home. I still remember staying at night to attend their course, but quite interesting, cause first time parents mah.
oh jane, we sama sama ah! I tot I am the only weird one who doesn't know how to swollow pills. haha cause my hubby can just swollow two pills at one go! For me, a struggle esp eating big pills like pandadols want my life!
can i ask whats scn blue and pink? wats the difference? i never even noticed last time whether dash is in scn blue or pink, as long as he was in SCN, I already very happy! hahaha. so wats the diff?
Powergal, me staying compassvale st. 29x

jane, hahaha... u r a good mommy..so if u go out with siang, u cook and bring out the food? only prebook 1 month in advance.. saw the advert in today online..i guess i am lucky bah, to be able to book on ndp... my colleague tried pan pac and only get a room during preview... dissolve the pills? wont it be more yucky then?
shellow, what was ur initial plan for childcare before ur bb was born? (what is her name btw?). if u r afraid of apnea, u might want to consider getting this angelcare monitor (something like that)..its a device put underneath the bed/bedsheet that will sound alarm if it does not detect movement of the baby... but pretty exp... accding to SCN nurses last time..once bb din have a apnea episode for 10days after they finished their course of med, then it should be alright... for my case, i got a auntie in the neighbourhood to bbsit my gal..and this auntie got a premmie of her own..but for my case, my gal discharged with no issue except for umbilical hernia... one thign good abt scn nurses is that they will tell u abt ur bb's habits (eg, my bb needs to burp alot) so u wont have to learn from scratch
dm, i was at orchard... anyway hb was the one that wanted to watch..i am never a movie fan
kkf, now i order chewable vits from US... else definitely cannot swallow!
xbliss...wah..u super leh..take care of bb plus household chores... i think the good thing abt booking chalet/fn rm is that u dont have to clean up afterwards

Xbliss,
No choice leh.. If I got a hse of my own, I wana celebrate it at home too but as I m staying with inlaws and mil dun wan a mess in her hse hence hav to outsource a venue..
Hopefully can get some help as that day is a weekday, think most ppl will only come after work
Bloom,
Thats what I think too.. Lesser cleaning to be done But then again, if held it at home, more convenient, no need to take so many barang barang there..
shelllow,
hey, aren't we fortunate to hav this thread where all experienced mummies share their point of view and advices? kekekee.. Sorry can't help and give much advise cos I m a blur mummy..

good morning mummies

u got receive my PM?

GREAT to know that your ger is starting on bottle
do try to latch her on too, as xbliss suggest (kangeroo) your gal more.
re bottling. must try to pace more during bottling. she may be just not ready yet..go slow with lots of pacing in between and burping. is she drinking too fast hence u hear the wheezing sound??? if there is any such concerns, think u can ask the nurse on duty to advise you. the nurses there are great adviser.
don't feel lousy. its really not easy for u...stay positive. you will get used to bottling your gal
re about going home, i was lucky because i got my mother who voluntary say she will help me care for my boy (who was still consider small when he was discharged).
perhaps you can think of options like nanny after your confinement period? try sourcing for one now if you do not have any relatives to offer help.
don't worry too much, things will turn out just fine. most important is your ger
other things, sure got a solution.
some of the mummies here have walk thru very tough path and today they are all doing fine

my gal been apnea free for abt 2 wk... but i m a KS mom, always worrying. Yeha i've 3 mth maternity leave, but only utilise 1 mth n saving the remaining 2 mth to look after my gal when she is home... perhaps might get 1-2 mth unpay leave....
Bloom
my initial plan b4 my gal was born was to sent her to infantcare as there is 1 just next to my company. Who knows on the 28wk, my BP went up so high tt i need to deliver my gal.
daec
thanks i will go get hold of tt book.
Jane
will do the kangaroo thingy on her. mayb she is drinking too fast,she finished 10ml of milk in 5 min. perhaps need to pace more during her feed. Nanny are quit difficult to find every since the HFMD outbreak. I m still looking for 1 ard my area.
oh btw, my gal is Paige
