hello everyone. been MIA since last week, i had MC - stomach flu (and infected 4 other colleagues) and went malacca on fri for best fren's wedding (went in the afternoon after 2pm, and return before 6pm the next day to visit my baby in SCN). Tired and din logon over the weekend. You guys were really doing active posting.
angel, take care. maybe try think abt other things may help? maybe an MP3 will really help. must be very sian there doing CRIB all the way. keep on perservering, ok!
irene, so happy for you! congrats and best wishes for the next 9 mths, ok! i oso want 2nd one but not yet lah. my baby is 2 days corrected age. heheh.
my son started bottling on thurs night shift. but he's not taking it well. he feeds on 48ml very three hours. can only manage 10ml before he desats too much. so the nurse will feed him the rest via tube. dunno how long he will take to bottle well. he cant coordinate well yet. but very cute lah. yest, he had bottling at 5pm. so at 8pm, he cry like crazy for his milk. we fed him thru tube, but he's opening his mouth like searching for something. i thot - wah so on, want to try bottling again. heheh. any mummies got stories on bottling to share?
i am finally scheduled for the parents support meeting starting tonight. i hope it's a sign my baby will be discharged soon.

hi costa,
tks for your sms. yes. i am ok but my colleagues still sniffing away. hope i dun geddit back. why cant you take MC? big presentation or big meeting today? i wanted one day MC, but Dr str8 away gv me two days esp since her record states i shud still be preg in May. she was v sympathetic when i told her my baby came out at 24weeks. Quite lucky get lady doctor. so understanding. I am so sick of being sick tho. want to carry my son also cannot.
strangely, the nurses haven't referred my baby to the speech therapist yet, altho on thursday before they tried bottling, they did say they will refer to the therapist if he cant bottle well. anyway i will wait and see.
i am still expressing EBM. getting between 37 to 42ml every three hours. the neo nat gave me 2nd dosage of DOMPERIDONE, but i haven't taken it. Will take it when i am desperate.
SLT follow up, is not for long, is it?
sometimes KKH is not very prompt at calling up outpatients. A year and a half ago, my PAP Smear had inconclusive results, they din call me. at my next gynae appt, i had to quiz them on it. and then they told me had to take PAP Smear again. I actually cried that time because I thot got something wrong. So angry tt time, esp since i was stressed since i was on clomid.

Jane, they never schedulated SLT for your boy as he was bottling very well..the onli reason they did this for my son was because he wasnt coordinating well and at that time upon discharge..he kena cough and also exposed to a doctor who had chicken pox...so alot of tai jee...so must follow up...
Lindah,I am self employed, cant take too much leave..customers not happy if i always away...
Dun worry about the costs..m sure you must hv downgraded to C class right?the appointments are priced about $20 or so and unless got scans or ultrasounds, then it wld be more expensive...if not, it shld be quite affordable...
as time goes by, the appointments wld be less and less.....dun worry....settle one thing at a time first.....

hi lindah,
ya, ur boy wans to suckle,means it's a good sign.prob when he's slightly bigger, nurses will allow u to BF directly. when i was in Mt A, there's this technique called "kangaroo care",when they took off the bb's clothes & urs, then the bb will b lying on ur chest & u can cuddle her & she'll fall asleep on u. when i did tat to my gal, she zzz real well. but it's bit tough & weird holding on to the little ger. bit scared 2, as we were 1st time parents & dun really know how to handle a newborn, wat's born such a small bb.. but it's good experience lor. bb supposed to b more attached to u with constant kangaroo care.

hi costa..actually i tell u ler. when my boy discharged on last Nov. he was still not bottling well but still i bring him home then i used the 'very not rite' way to bottle him lor..then i just buy the pigeon teat (that the SLT ask me to buy) to bottle him lor... then about last month, i go and poke the hole to M size (he is now only drinking M size..) but since no SLT called me...erh think maybe next month or so, i will poke the teat to L size keke
lindah, not that much appointment (it only sound like a lot) normally they will try arrange the dietrician and physio and neo nat in one day... but if your boy is doing ok (to me it sound he is really doing well..wanting the teat so much, am sure he is making the sucking motions?? ;-)? about cost...like costa say, hope you are already subsidised. because i am (as i was in C class when i give birth to my boy).
but cost is not to worry...most important your boy now bottle...oh, he is off the respirtory? think you can look forward to him home sweet home...
disneymickey, ya....imagine, my boy too is weight by grammes and when he came out..is under grams not even KGs....yesterday brought him to PD (he wheeze la sigh)...then he weight 8.9KG (KG hahahah!!)

but costa, in your email signoff, thot you are employee, not self-employed... i say... self-employed oso very tuff. thot if own business, hv more free time but actually must work double.
costa, jane, yes i am in C-class. so i guess the bills wont b so bad.
jane, my baby seem to like the pacifier. but the poor thing dunno how to breathe when suckling.
disneymickey, i asked the KKH staff if they do kangaroo care, but they don't. no private room to do it oso... so a bit paisei. i do plan to do it when he comes home, tho.
I look foward to my baby being weighed in KG too!
Hi Naddy,
thanks for doing up table. i will prob only provide update after my baby is discharged.

hi naddy,
dunno if it's 2 sensitive to other mommies, maybe u can add a colum to ur table, current age & weight? i tot it'll b like an assurance for ur preemies' mommies, to know our little ger/boi is "normal", else if we compare to normal birth bb, ours will b like very very small?
wat do other mommies think?

Hi Disneymickey,
My dd was also in Mt A. The nurses also recc kangaroo care. I did it for 4 months. I love it. The baby mimicks our breathing so it's good for her lungs. Even my mom does it for her but with clothes on lah. hahaha....
Ya. Everytime the Neo Nat (Dr Terence Tan) calls me to say how many grams she put on, I'll be over the moon. But when her weight remains the same, my mood gets sober. I actually bought a bb weighing scale so as to put my heart at ease. Mine is not the digital one. So not so expensive. It's a little over $100.
Hiaz. Those were the days....
BTW, congrats Irene!

juz curious,for those mommies who stayed in KKH, u stayed in B or C class? cos the NICU rate is tagged to mommie's rm rate rt? but do u get a designated doc/gynae? then got specific pd attached to ur bb in NICU?
cos the last time gynae actually recommended KKH to save cost. but we were q reluctant cos my gynae can't go into KKH. & we chk out a pd (recommended by SIL),he say my ger prob will stay in NICU/nursery abt 1mth. anyway, we couldn't go KKH cos there was a triplets delivered then. maybe it's 1 of u mommies here?

DOB: 31 Jan 2005
Gender; 2 boys
Birth Weight: 600g and 720g
Born: 25 weeks
Length of stay: 3.5 mths in NICU & SCN
Someone asked about weights, I look back at past records. My boys weighed 8Kg and 7.5 Kg at Corrected age 6 mths.
Hope this act as a good indicative to you all.
Any one heard from Angel?
DisneyMickey
Yes, the NICU rate at KKH is tagged to the ward that the mummy stayed. Regardless of choice of ward, all babies in NICU received the same treatment and attention.
Yes, my boys were assigned to a neonatologist each at NICU.
I was in C Class and my boys bill in KKH was about $50k.
Your bb bill at Mt A must be very expensive.

Dear mummies
how has your weekend been?
Due to my CRIB status, I'm not allowed to even sit up so my hubby kept me away from the laptop the entire weekend! I'm secretly using it now that he's away at work but in very awkward position lor - typing while lying sideways...very slow and quite strenuous on my wrist but I think of you all everyday cos I know so many of you are rooting for me and baby Ashley!
Quick update from me - Dr Kwek the twin specialist came this morning to check on me and reassured me that things are fine. In fact, he's arranging for another scan for me later this afternoon to check on Ashley's growth. She turns 23 weeks tomorrow and if everything goes well, on 23w5d, Dr Kwek will give me a steroid jab to mature Ashley's lungs just in case she comes out early. As the day draws nearer, I'm getting more anxious...continue to pray for me ya mummies? Your posts and support mean so much to me

Good to hear from you.
23 weeks!! Well done!
As per Costas message, the Jab is very important.
Do remember to remind Dr Kwek in case it slips his mind.

Does you girl go back to Mt A for reviews?
I guess if the doctors said the weight is ok, then it shd be of no concern.
Girls are generally lighter and smaller in size I reckon.
Jane
Lung Specialist? Who is that?
Do you need to make an appointment to see him or her?
Reason I am asking is because we bought my elder boy to A&E last week. His temperature soared up to 39.7.
They did an X ray and found out his lungs is quite phlegmy.
You all know lah... Preeemies have chronic lung disease etc. So when I heard the word Lungs phlegmy I get very gan cheong.
Fully recovered now but I thought of seeking a second opinion on his lungs.

Hi all mommies!
That's the table again!
Did I miss any mommies who provided details or did I make a mistake? I hope not!
hi disneymickey!
In the original table, I had a column for complications our babies faced but it made the table so long that I'm afraid some of us who use smaller screens will have to scroll left and right to read each post. So, I decided not to add any moe details to keep it simple. That's why I did not add the weight at the various corrected age. Maybe I'll make another table for that? I'll see of there's a great demand first, okie?
hi yvonne and costa!
wow! this thread has evolved so much within the past few months. had this thread been around when my girl was born, it would have been such a greatform of support!!
hi angel,
I cant even begin to imagine what you had gone through and what you are going through now. I was put on CRIB for one week before my delivery and it was already driving me nuts. You are definitely made of sterner stuff and you will emerge from all this with beautiful baby Ashley smiling and cooing at you in your arms! Don't be sad, okay?
Is there any way that you can keep yourself occupied that doesnt take too much energy? How about reading? You can read lighthearted romance novels - not the super trashy ones cos we dont want Ashley to know all about the birds and the bees at such a young age, do we? I'll be going to KKH this Friday and I can get you some novels if you want. Or, I can give you a list of lighthearted reads to keep the smile on your face.

like many others here, i went for C class too when i knew that my daughter would be spending time at NICU. the labour ward nurses were wonderful and so were the nurses at NICU and SCN.
but the C class nurses were just sooo nasty. if they are not nasty, they have no time for you. one nurse was particularly sarcastic. GGRRRRRRR.. but i told myself to just endure all these for the sake of my baby.

morning mommies,
mich,
nope,din go back mt a 4 any review.went to a pd recommended by colleague (his clinic's in TMC).told my gynae i wanted this pd,so he was notified to b ard when i had my c-section. then we continue to c him till now.plan to continue w him,till finish all jabs.
gg to c pd again this week,for last dose of the Pneumococcal jab.will get an update of her wt & height.but not expecting much,esp the weight part haha
angel,
the jab 2 strengthen ashley's lungs v impt.i had 2 jabs 1wk b4 i was scheduled to op.when my girl came home & cried so loudly,we joked tat the jabs work
didi,
my BIL passed a bumbo seat 2 us,but my ger dun like leh. but i c it v useful 4 my nephew though.he could sit in it while they fed him cereals. guess my girl 2 active,can't sit still.oso,my nephew is bigger size,so his thighs r like 'stucked' in the seat,so he can't move out,whereas my girl being skinny,she could actually manuvour out of the seat.so not tat safe 4 my case. think u no need to worry abt posture,cos bumbo seat is meat 4 bb who can't really sit yet. so when they r bigger & can sit well, guess they'll correct their posture then.

hi mich - this lung specialist actually has all along been looking after my boy since his birth. but i (cross fingers) have so far only brought my boy to see her (its when needs arise) 2 times. one if feb and one is yesterday. she is 'assisgned' to so call monitor my boy lung condition as he had CLD mah. she is assigned by the neo nat at KKH...
so anything on lung..i will go to her (instead of going to the neo nat)
mich. i belive this lady (her name is Jenny Tang) see private patient too... but erh...am not really sure if she does. if you wish (if really need be) perhaps you can call up KKH and enquiry.
didi, haha me wanted to buy the bumbo seat for my boy earlier but still never buy. by the way, bumbo seat can be rented hehe (if u need to test test water haha)
hmm...ah ya mummies, todate i still have not brought my boy for the Pneumococcal jab ler (cos my boy still not finish the 5-1 plus he not very well lately sigh)...

costa, it's my pleasure!
didi, about the bumbo - i rented for my daughter for one month. i rented from www.rent-that-toy.com. it used to be $8/month but now they have increased their rental for everything. the good thing about this company is there's no deposit to pay.
