me no diff - I am working from home now.Towkay and Dawn. U all take full leave or eg 12 weeks?
ehhh...maybe my mind was locked on the stuff within the S$8.90 rangeI also receive bengawan solo voucher. Can redeem anything in the store. Balance top. I also redeem the kuek or the pandan cheese roll.
wa, so good!! I am having cracked nipples :/ Pumped "strawberry milk"...sigh. Both my boys are the same blood group as my ah lao...that's why having problems with the jaundice level. Haiz...steal my iron, calcium and nutrients for 39 weeks, but both look like their dad :/Doc did say that becoz her blood type same as mine so jaundice expected to be mild. Plus she's been latching very well so my bm kicked in & transitioned well which helped. That said, she also noted jaundice is common and will clear eventually if bb takes in adequate milk. So Jia you mummy and bub!
Yours is mild tear or THH did episiotomy?
Waaaaaa......!!! 10 pcs!!! I think lotsa butter in lactation cookies :/@shiro_ger I order this one is home made. Yes yes is fattening. We need the fats to provide BM. . I take as breakfast like 10pcs per day.
Ya...hard to push, but use imagination lor....ya ya, forceps is a must when such things happen. I couldn't even feel my bladder after that. I was telling the nurse that I wanted to wee wee but lost the function to do so.I think to me there's also the concern on the what-ifs no dilation occurs coz that's what happend to my sis. Stuck at 4cm and her cervix was swollen end up e-csec. Double the suffering. Ah! and not forgetting I've got piles too....I really don't wan to suffer that! hahaha
But if you don't feel any pain, hard to push rite? My fren also can't feel anything end up her gyne must use forceps.
You have to start preparing soon, dear! Your babies should be learning how to crawl in about 1 to 2 months time!!!Yaaa! I guess every milestone has its pros and cons. I shudder at the thought on having to make the whole house child-safe proof. And it doesn't help to have 2 of the same age cruising kiddos around the house!
Strange, aren't they suppose to lower the epi dose? The SSN who was with me throughout ensures that i can feel the pain (slight) so that i know when to push le. If can feel the urge, dun even need to count. I just tell THH and the nurse "It's pushing time" and the cycle starts. It's more "relax" like that than waiting for instructions from the nurse to start pushing. Still have time to gossip while waiting for the peak.That happened to me too. The nurse/midwife kept asking me to push when I feel the contraction but I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't really push also. I think it's common with epidural. Haha. My friend's midwife and gynae looked at the contraction chart and asked her to push accordingly. But I dun rem mine referred to the chart at all. They just count and I push. Maybe too chaotic then.
Hahaha I not so onz la! I dun latch them and didn't want to start either. So I just give whatever that I pumped out. I gave myself only 28 days for my pumping career so didn't expect that I'll exceed that till today.
But how come your 'well' is drying up esp when you've been pumping regularly?
I think he stitch la. The jab on the thigh is painkiller mah. The one he forgot to give me and started stitching and chatting happily.I don't recall him stitching me up...or maybe he did, but I couldn't feel it...
He only said that the labour caused me to have some bleeding so he got the nurse to jab me on the thigh to stop the bleeding. That's all ley
Exactly!!! Mine too.. carry them till almost full term and have to bear with MS throughout. And there they are looking like Daddy. *Angry*wa, so good!! I am having cracked nipples :/ Pumped "strawberry milk"...sigh. Both my boys are the same blood group as my ah lao...that's why having problems with the jaundice level. Haiz...steal my iron, calcium and nutrients for 39 weeks, but both look like their dad :/
Should be fun if there is a gathering /play date of all mummy where as our LO is close quite close in month...haha...can't imagine d chao a mist yet should be fun !
I asked for an increase in dosage halfway thru cos I could still feel contractions. Then later on I felt completely numb when fully dilated. Everyone's experience is so different. I also duno what I've experienced is the normal thing. I couldn't even lift up my legs. So is that normal? Haha. Then the nurse kept doing the ice block sensory test. I asked my friends from other hospitals, they didn't do it for them.Strange, aren't they suppose to lower the epi dose?

Bb is not feeling well.. keep crying. Can I rush to kkh now or just gp clinic?
Could it be colic? If running a fever, then better to see a PD or KKH.Bb is not feeling well.. keep crying. Can I rush to kkh now or just gp clinic?
Ya, every experience is different. The experience for my #1 is like what you describe. No pain, no urge to push. End up i wasn't pushing but "sucking" the baby in. Almost ended up in e-csect till the gynae lower the dose so that i can feel if i am pushing or sucking. Personally i think my 2nd experience is better and less stress.I asked for an increase in dosage halfway thru cos I could still feel contractions.

Their lemon tartlets are heavenly!!! But quite ex tho to be distributed for baby shower.If u are looking for something more unusual for ur full month celebration cakes, can take a look at Bloomsbury Bakers.
Check all possibilities before sending to PD coz they will ask why is baby here and you must be able to answer. Check temperature, check if got soiled diaper, press his tummy to see if it is hard (coz maybe constipated), hungry or needs a burp etc. If nothing can soothe baby, will bring to see my PD. If my PD is not available, will go to KK.Bb is not feeling well.. keep crying. Can I rush to kkh now or just gp clinic?
Good to hear that babe! Mine will be 3 months old on Friday! Indeed, the toughest for me is that very week when CL leaves. But it does get better each day each week. I'm looking forward to the day where they can sttn!! Now they still wake up twice sometimes thrice for feeds.
Wow! Good leh! I only pump twice a day! So it just serve as desserts for my babies!
Heh heh heh, doesn't matter so long as no pain is felt! Think the nurse was quite surprised why I don't feel any urge or pain and she kept asking me if I felt anything at 8cm, 9cm,10cmStrange, aren't they suppose to lower the epi dose?

I don't even feel the jab in the thigh lo!! Hahaha!! This is an awesome experience!I think he stitch la. The jab on the thigh is painkiller mah. The one he forgot to give me and started stitching and chatting happily.
Ya, best to go to KKH children's A&E if you feel that something is not right. Parent instinct usually is right but you must be prepared to wait for hoursCould it be colic? If running a fever, then better to see a PD or KKH.
Everyday is war time for me & hubs now...haiz!! No more me-time, we-timeI took the cookies as breakfast. So far still okie. Drink lot of water. No time to go out or make breakfast. Especially morning have to prepare nos.1 for school n baby fuss for milk. + pump. Morning is like war time. Hahaha
going pasir ris baby and child clinic later. open at 6.45pm
I just had a gathering at my place with 4 of my colleagues who delievered their babies early this year. It was really chaotic. We had one "crawler" and the rest still would guai guai sit or lie down. Tried to take group photos of them. When one cries, the rest get startled. Disastrous. Hahaha. But v v fun. They will have lots of friends to grow up with.
Aiyo sayang mummy. I did supplement with fm starting on 2nd day as supply was slowly building but pd updated that her jaundice started. As bm builds up, I tweaked the fm top up. If want to provide bm, no choice still must pump if not latch. Hang in there & hope you heal soonwa, so good!! I am having cracked nipples :/ Pumped "strawberry milk"...sigh.

Yes to crusing kids... and auto-pilot someone
I have also been cutting down on my pumps from 3 hourly to 4 hourly but now usually average around 4-5 pumps a day as really find it hard to schedule pumping into feedings, bathe time and my own makan, shower and sleep time.
still I manage a bottle of 100ml each. I cut down on their milk intake when the CL left as I feel they were overfeeding.
Now I have abit of extra not sure should i freeze them or just give them whatever I have.... dilemma
I read a book that says to feed 7 times a day with one night feed, concentrating the 6 feeds during the day time.
they calculate the full amount of milk intake the bb need for a day and split the milk portion concentrating more on 7 am , 10-10.30 am and 10.30 to 11pm feeds. anyone practicing this? i found it quite difficult as the milk intake is different for different timing.
going for their hep b second shot and review at poly next week. i worried as it will be my first time out with them and without my cls helping. will be a busy morning bringing them out and back to shower. I always find a sense of relief after i finish the morning shower.
Ah...d smiling n cooing... I can relate to tt ..super cute n melt tiredness away ...
Yup!!I also look d embryos photo ley!! Some more mine put in 2 n 1 implanted really make me wonder which embryo is he! I know is silly but I ask bub at times ..n he just give me back a cheeky smile ...hahaha....
Wow u only pump out whatever u have n still last till so long ! Amazing...can imagine if u do it regularly/direct latch ur supply should be good man...
Think cos although I pump regularly I still tend to drag the timing longer slightly esp in d middle of night where I set alarm clock to pump n 1/2 d time I drag waking up but bo bian so keep snoozing. .haha...d spirit is willing but flesh is weak...hahaha haha. ..
Should be fun if there is a gathering /play date of all mummy where as our LO is close quite close in month...haha...can't imagine d chao a mist yet should be fun !
Hope your bub will be fine and recover soonTsum_tsum. Reached at 8.30pm. Still waiting now.. 9.21pm liao. Night time think got phlegm. hope is small issue....pls
Milogal88, I have already joined the FB Twins & Multiples support group. Seems that natural birth for twins is really rare. I delivered my 1st boy naturally and I find recovery so much faster. No epidual but vaccum suck out my boy. Now I am mentally trying to convince myself that c-sec is better alternative instead this time round maybe I will go for GA since I dont know how epidural is administered. Still scared how to recover back my pre-natal figure after c sec cos I see most of my frenz figures gone case after c-sec. Still want to be beautiful mummy, vain la.
So glad to hear that THH has awesome stitching skills. Does KKH provide the binder? I will wait till wk 30 then go select date bah. Dont want to stress myself too. Tks for the advice.

Dr THH will suggest u to go RA. Mean awake. Ur hubby can go in with you too. Can see baby. Kkh don't provide binder. U can buy from the pharmacy.Milogal88, I have already joined the FB Twins & Multiples support group. Seems that natural birth for twins is really rare.

*sob sob* yaaa...latching is always fuss-free...much better than pumping, need to sterilise pump, bottle, teat :/Aiyo sayang mummy.

Warm water to cover your breast. Then massage before pump. You have to pump a few times to clear it. If not baby is the best to unblock for you. Latch on. Their sucking very powerful. Mine after latch breast will be soft. If pump wouldn't get that. U have to pump like every 2hrs instead of 3hrs to clear the blockage.*sob sob* yaaa...latching is always fuss-free...much better than pumping, need to sterilise pump, bottle, teat :/
The milk supply seems to be more than demand, which can also be a headache cos of blocked ducts. Help~~
ya, baby's sucking the best, but the problem is, the moment he latches on, there is this excruciating pain on the nipple and you can see the damage after the session - I've seen bloody cracked nips and yesterday was bad; there was pusWarm water to cover your breast.

What I learn from other sisters. The pump parts u can wash then put in ziplock bag for the next use. Sterilise once a day. The valve that contact ur BM can put in hot water like 5-6mins before use.

Boys are more prone to this as their windpipes are narrower. With the haze coming back, please turn on the air purifier as baby is at home. If baby is wheezing for more than 3 days, please bring back to the PD coz may need nebiliser. Never sit on it coz it might develop into broncholities which can result in admission to hospital when it gets serious.Tsum_tsum... exactly wat u mentioned. Given drop too
Must put in fridge. If you have no OCD, even the bottle (without the BM) can be left in the fridge after expressing and just wash once a day. This is what many mummies have been doing when they go back to work, including me.Put in the ziplock bag, then put in the fridge or in room temp?
