Hi Grace,
My gynae is A/Prof Mary Rauff at NUH.I used to c Dr.Shamini Nair at KKH,but she said something that really put me off.she told me she will put me on asprin and 'hope for the best' for the next preg.when i heard that,i said i'll not go back for the next preg.to me,u can hope for the best,at the same time,i am going to do all i can to have a live birth,and i want my gynae to do her best too.at least *touch wood*, if it happens again,we can all said we tried our best.and not wonder if there is more we could have done.
Shellow,
ur girl is very cute.Can u tell me how pre-eclampsia was discovered? how bad was ur baby's condition when u gave birth? was she hooked up to machines?
Hey babymaking,
My heart goes out to u.must be nerve wrecking.can i ask how ur baby's erratic heartbeat was discovered? routine doppler flow? I totally agree with u.i'll rather have a preterm baby then a stillbirth.esp when u know the baby's chances of survival is good.but docs are always concerned with morbidity of preterm baby.to me,if it's correctable,then it's no big issue.going thru' a stillbirth is so painful.i was in labour for 28 hrs.induced labour.i was so down,i was crying,but i had to give birth to the baby.while i know my baby is not going to be alive,i hear suctions going off in other rooms,babies crying etc.it's so painful.ican feel how much u treasure this baby,considering how hard this baby came by.for me,this baby didn't come by easy as well.the 1st baby was after 2 mths of trying,newly married at that time.this time,after the stillbirth,it took 9 mths.i went thru' 2 failed IUIs,heaps of depressing news abt y it's so difficult for us to conceive etc.it was a difficult journey to get to this point.Ccan i also ask u how often u monitor ur baby's heartbeat? i'm thinking of lugging ard the gadget beginning fr 20 wks,but it's really difficult,coz who is going to monitor at night? and with the nature of my work,it's not possible for me to listen to my baby's heartbeat all the time.unless it's like a ctg which has a printout.wow,aren't u glad u monitored the baby's heartbeat?i didn't expect such a thing to happen to me.in fact,my baby was kicking so much.she was an extremely active girl.and i had a growth scan 1 wk prior to the stillbirth,so i was resuured the preg was going well.are u wanting to sell ur dopplerflow machine? i dont' mind buying if it's going to be cheaper than getting a brand new one.but let me discuss with my gynae next tues 1st.it's still early days of the preg.but i tot i should get all these going coz it takes some time to get a doppler flow machine.i shall contact u in due time.in the meantime,pls take care,darling.

Monster,
PE was discovered thru routine check up, 1st sign is elevation in BP, n protein in urine, then blood test to check uric acid in blood. When my gal was borned, doc told me tt my placenta has started to detach, tt y she is in distress... when she was born, she cant really breath from her lungs tt well, so she was on CPAP to help her breath better, she has hole in her heart (PDA)which close up later, like all premies, she go thru eye check n head scan, all ok.. later i was told she has hernia, tt when she has hernia surgery...

<font color="ff0000">monster</font>, hi you remember me? I posted in stillbirth thread before saying about the loss of my boy jared borned 23 weeks plus, not stillbirth but premature though.congrats in ur pregnancy! boy or gal?
I could understand ur fears totally! I had 3 premature labors, so can u imagine my fear for my last baby? I was paranoid throughout, scaring for contractions, every slightest pain, I would alert my hubby, hey is it contractions, must we go hospital blar blar. I was afraid of stillbirth too, as I could not afford to lose anymore child. Everyday was in fear n a bit of depression, and now, my gal when borned was like very not happy like that too...haha. she cried a lot, and still not giggle at 5 months. So dun let ur mood affect ur baby in u.
My boy was borned 27 weeks. Dun worry, once pass 27 or 28 weeks, I believe the baby will do well, at most stay in hospital for 2 months. I was a 27 weekers too, yes intially all premature babies will have to hook up on machines and went thru some pains, but xian ku hou tian (suffer first and lead blissful life thereafter), thats what I always believe! I know ur fear. I was like that too, telling my gal to come out when she was about 29 weeks and I was admitted in hospital, cause I feel safer to see her alive...anyway, a lot of our babies born 24 weeks onwards.
But I seriously dun think ur gynae will agree to let u give birth 28 weeks or wat, at most 34 weeks cause kkh doctors think 34 weeks onwards are ok to deliver, like me last time. was admitted in and out, and they tried to prolong my pregnancy till 34 weeks, then they said ok no problem can give birth liao.
Btw, I believe ur gynae will help u, dun worry. like my gynae last time (dr ann tan from mount E), she saw me like more often during my pregnancy, gave me steriod injection to mature baby lungs (yes, do request for that), and gave anitcontractions pills blar blar...
gingal, wow, jerlynn looks soo chubby.
Jane! finally see u here!
afcai, wow, haoxuan can giggle liao leh...my violet still can't. I a bit worry, cause I ask my colleague whose babies born around same time, all can giggle at about 4 months, except violet. I think i was really too unhappy during pregnancy, and it affected her to become less smiley...
amdrina, i can't remember what batch i am in...haha. too long liao...I am in year 2004 batch I think...

hi monster
hang in there, just email me [email protected] if you need a fetal doppler scanner, i'm getting for another mummy i met at the hospital, so if you can decide within the next 2 days, i will place an order with the manufcturer.
i'm still keeping mine as i will need it for the next bb. (yes, still planning for no#2)
I finally got an answer from my attending gynae - i was contemplating having a c sect now at 31 weeks 3 days as was having regular contractions at 7 mins apart last night.
This morning he came by and gave a good talking to - he insisted that we hang in there till week 34 at least to minimize premature bb mortality.seems that his main concern is that too many premature babies are getting infections in KKH NICU.
i know how you feel abt wanting to deliver as soon as possible - i so totally felt that way yesterday and was almost in tears thinking that for the next 6 weeks, i will be strapped in facing increasingly painful contractions and yet unable to give birth.
however have to be assured that constant monitoring either with ctg in hospital or with yr own doppler - u can do it anytime and quickly. hopefully that will give you some confidence that you have done yr best.
KKF
you're right - KKh gynaes refuse to deliver even though i'm at week 31 + 3, still insist that we hang in there till week 34 at least.
in some ways it works as encouragement, that the longer bb stays in there, the lesser he will have to suffer in NICU - and we all want the best for bb.

hi mummies n daddy,
alot of posts to catch up.
gks mummy,
i had talked to the PD, had just jab my boy BCG ytd, going to take his advise to go for the 5-in-1. tks.
monster,
hi..kkf is right, your emotions will affect the bb. what u r doing now is right n understandable, as u r trying to find out every possible things u could do for your upcoming bb, but u have to have faith n stay cheerful n positive. i think u will be 'well-equipped' n the rest, just talk and leave it to your gynae. I really hope to see your happy face when u carry your baby in your arms after delivering full term.
bbmaking,
hope u can hang in there till baby 34 weeks. i can understand how it feels to be CRIB. though the nurses n my gynae has did what they could, giving me drip to delay contractions n jab to mature bb's lungs, my bb still come out after the 1st jab went through. BUT u r in hospital, so rest assured u r in good hands... best wishes to you!

Hi ladies and gentleman,
Sorry, have not posted for so long cos super busy at home. Yest just brought the gals for Pneumococcal jab and rotavirus vaccine. So far only Channah had low grade fever last nite, now ok already. But i'm very worried for her, cos she just regurgitate from her nose again....
For ladies going back to work or had gone back to work, how do you weaned off BF? Thou Channah only latch 1-2times a day now, it is still difficult to wean her off. She would cry in distress when not latched and initially refused bottle feed too. Now her appetite reduce and she only drinking abt 70mls instead of her usual 90mls. I feel very heartpain when i hear her cry like tat. But my mum and mil refused to let me latch, cos they worry they can't cope with her cries when i go bk to work. I was thinking of latching her only at nite, any advise pls? Am i a bad mum if i dun let her latch?
Hi Gingal,
Jerlynn is sooo cute! She's CA how many mths already? By the way, how many mths CA is she when she is able to hold her neck independently?
Hi David,
Poor Danya, hope she will get better soon. I can understand if you are angry or frustrated with the healthcare staffs. Cos I was equally upset with them when Charlot kena MRSA infection while she was in nicu. Doc also admitted that it was a cross-infection caused by the healthcare staffs. She had to be isolated throughout until her discharge. Tat time was alot of hassle for us, cos each time after we visited her, we are so afraid that we might passed it to Channah.
Is Diana working? Jiayou and be positive ok? Take good care of urself and Diana.
Hi babymaking,
My gals were born at 31+1, but their birth weight were 1.46 and 1kg only. The younger twin was not growing, furthermore, I had PE, cholistasis and contractions, super short cervix length, lotsa problem for me.
Do hang in there and minimise movement ok? Jiayou

Hi Mummies,
Just bought Jerlynn back from her appts, today is hectic schedule. Went for her U/T Scan for her Brain, ENT appt for Hearing Test, Blood test for her Anemia, Neonat's appt and then Dietitian appt...Our morning at KKH starts at 8.50am and only just reached home. Thank God, all tests showed she is doing well...
Her Brain Bleeding is no longer there, no more anemia, hearing test passed at this stage, Neonat is happy with her progress and her weight and height gain is good. She is now at 90-97% for her Height (WOW, great improvement as last round she was only at 10%, i keep joking she is "Katek Ayam"), weight is at 75-90%...Felt so relief now...
Maykel,
Jerlynn was able to hold her head up when she was about CA 2 months old, but can't for long and will "fall sideways or front" after brief periods. Now she can hold them up steadily, but we still need to support her lower back abit as she will arch towards the direction she wants to go nowadays and it's quite dangerous as she does it quite suddenly. She is now CA 3 months and 1 week old.
kkf,
I watched alot of funny shows and variety shows when I was pregnant, so Jerlynn started giggling and laughing and smiling since she was very little, i think it started when she was about CA 1-2 months old. Now if I am carrying her and laughing or chuckling, she will mimick my laughters...Maybe u can let Violet watch funny shows with u, and u laugh or giggle loud, see if she will mimick? Hope it helps!

Hi Mums,
Has been a while since my last post. To all new mummy & daddy friends on this thread, welcome.
To all Pocket Hercules like our brave Mattias, Josiah & Jeriel, fight hard, fight strong. JIA YU, JIA YU.
Recently, busy with spring cleaning for my current home, busy with renovation for my new home, busy outstation for work but will never feel tried seeing my princess Danya.
Doc may give green light for Danya home coming by next week. Danya diarrhoea condition has improved slightly. Danya's weight is gaining very slowly and today, Danya's weight 2045gram.

Don't worry too much bah...we also in the list of the infected countries, maybe they also scared of us...BTW how many day has ur relatives reached singapore? If it has been couple of days and they are alright, means they are virus-free, so should be safe...
David,
Long time no see, Danya looks good now!!! Sure excited bringing her home soon ah...keke

sam, yes, thats wat i am thinking, my elder went thru operation before, younger still 5 months only, can't afford to expose them to H1N1.
gingal, they were here only last thursday, now is only the 3rd day.

btw, gingal, wat i meant by indonesia is among the list of infected country means that they are among the listed countries whereby if people travelled there, they shd by right quarantine themselves at home for 7 days.
for my colleague and students who travelled to the list of infected countries, they are issued 7 days leave of absence to stay at home and cannot come to school, indonesia is one of them.
Singapore and malaysia are not up in the list yet.
thats why i am worried.

Hi Gingal,
sorry haven't checked this post for a while, thank you very much for your input, from what u said, I think he might also have delay in focussing.
I can see a little progress, but could just be wishing on our part. Will have next jab and check up with PD at 6 wks, will see what he thinks then.

Hi Shellow,
Thx for sharing ur situation.
afcai,
no,no jabs.i've been given hormones coz i have cramps.next check up tom.fingers crossed.
kkf!
Yes,of course i rem u.at the moment,i don't know if it's a boy or gal.actually,to inject some excitement into this preg,hubby and i have decided we will not find out the gender of the child.this preg is also so difficult on us mentally,i need to be fair to this baby and treat him/her like the 1st baby.so i still want to feel excited abt this preg.yes,like u,i worry fr the day i found out i'm preg.i knew wat to expect to see on the u/s.my BP was so high when i went to the gynae coz i was so nervous.when i saw mary rauff's face after she looked at the u/s,and i myself saw no sac,i braced myself for the bad news.fortunately,it was my fully bladder causing the prob.haha.a bit embarrassing.in the end,i emptied my bladder,and everything was fine.next check up tom.i am on hormones,coz i have cramps.the day i left gynae,had a scare.2nd scare actually.1st scare was a wk prior,during very early preg,when i was buying lunch,i felt a gush until i stained my pants.i panicked,immediately went to toilet.again,i braced myself,my legs were so wobbly,i nearly stepped into the toilet bowl (the squatting kind).it was juz discharge.and it stopped for days.so i didn't use panty liner.the day i left gynae,while walking,i felt a gush again.this time,there was so much,it leaked down my thighs.my legs went soft again.but thank god,it was juz discharge.actually,i favour a end of yr child,i think end of yr kids have advantage.juz like me.though i'll be turning 29 this yr,i am 28 when i conceived this baby,though it was conceived this yr.i have calculated.end of yr should be abt 34 wks,safe for delivery.i'm going to discuss with mary rauff tom.and yes,towards 28 wks,i think i will ask for steriod jabs in preparation for emergency birth,if baby is in distress.i have to mentally prepare myself for birth at 29 wks.financially,and mentally.already told hubby not to choose A1 ward,coz the bill for NICU will be quite high.so i'll choose a ward with more subsidy.
babymaking,
How are u now? hang in there.i can understand ur distress with the painful contractions.think positive.by the end of this,u'll have something joyful to look fwd to.i was in labour for 28 hrs.coz mine was a stillbirth,gynae ruled out C section,wanting to 'save' it for future births.no epidural too,coz waste of money (that option wasn't even given to me) in gynae's opinion.no need to worry abt baby's health,so i took lots of pethidine.and gynae didn't know how long it'll take me to dilate.in the end,pethidine wasn't such a bad idea,coz it also made me slightly drowsy,so i managed to get some sleep.do u have a pic of how ur doppler flow machine looks like? i'm going to discuss with gynae tom how to monitor baby's heartbeat,then i'll get back to u.how did u manage to source for it in the 1st place.how much does it cost?
happyger,
i'm so glad u're willingly to share.only those who have gone thru' a stillbirth can truely understand our fears.coz a stillbirth is the most painful thing a couple can go thru.y don't u email me at [email protected] sorry for taking so long to reply.been so tired these days,all i do is sleep,wake up,go to work,come home,sleep.i juz woke up fr my afternoon nap.good thing my work is flexible,i only worked 1/2 day today.that's y i have some energy to be replying

I think it's good that u have the chance to help the students in ways u can for the next half year, especially challenging for the P6s as they will be having their PSLEs, this means u have short time to help them too...

still in hospital - 12 days and counting down. last night was a particular good night - had only 2 contractions, though lots of tightenings - the little fellow in there must be feeling squeezed.
monster,
i have emailed you instead.
kkf,
we sneaked durians in the ward on sun, shared with the rest of the patients and gotten told off by the ward nurses
all worth it for bb.
need some advise here
- anyone here whose premature birth is caused by pre term contractions? i would like to know if your baby's heartbeat was erratic.
- also would like to know anyone who had to deliver early because the bb's heartbeat was erratic.
pls share yr experience.

Hi babymaking,
I was hospitalised from week 19 due to pre-term contractions.
But cause its early in the pregnancy, so the nurses told me that its difficult to detect the heatbeat using the CTG machine.... so they always use the doppler machine instead. So can't comment on the hearbeat.

hi babymaking
I was in and out of hospital since 1st day of pregnancy. My pre-term contraction started at week 21.....very bad one (threaten abortion case) and was on drip at labour suite for a row of 10 days then warded in normal ward, then back to labour suite again. My gynae then gave specific instruction as NOT to send me to labour suite until his approval is granted. Yeah, like tigger, they used the doppler instead.
kkf
I'm also as paranoid over the H1N1 so I forbid my girl to return to school this whole week and shall see what happen next week......
