sure you can. my doc took a while to stitch up after my first baby and i could start to feel it as she was stitching and told her. so she gave another jab :)

Re: C section for fourth child you should check with your gynae. but usually the advice is max 3 c-sections. don't think going natural is possible after 2 c-sects...

MMRV - save the pain (and hassle) of the extra jab if you intend to vaccinate against CP anyway ;)

I would keep the milk in the fridge to chill and bring it home at the end of the day (with ice pack) and then freeze for storage. Would not be advisable to freeze it in your office freezer since it would start to thaw on your way home, even with the ice pack. Thawed EBM should not be re-frozen...

how much fenugreek are you taking? can take it together with blessed thistle and see if it improves. also, not sure if you pump in the night. I pump in the middle of the night - I find that doing so keeps the supply up in the day, since the no. of hours in between pumping sessions are longer...

you can use the calculator at kellymom.com http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/pumping/milkcalc/ frozen EBM can be stored for 6months. longer if it's deep freeze. My freezer is used exclusively for storage of EBM which means not as much opening and closing of the freezer. I have given my...

Nausea (and hence loss of appetite) and fatigue were the no. 1 things for me. The nausea gets better in the second half of second tri, and fatigue usually by the end of the first tri :)

I breastfed my son when I was expecting the 2nd one. My gynae gave the green light although I was losing weight in the first 20 weeks as the foetus was growing well. I breastfed until I was about 30-32 weeks along and stopped because that was when I was getting a lot more contractions and by 32...

I weaned my son off night feeds when he was about a year old. I would go to him when he woke but would tell him no milk and then pat him back to sleep. Took a week or so - and he would still wake up, but didn't ask for milk anymore. For the record, he's 3.5 years old and STILL wakes up asking to...

yes, only if you change each time the baby pees/poos. use a nappy liner too. helps to catch poop so it's easier to wash the cloth nappy

KKH don't allow docs in pte practice to deliver there. unless you intend to walk in to delivery suite when you are going to deliver? not such a good idea - and prob not possible since you have to go c-sect after c-sect with the first 2. you will be charged pte patient rates at KKH anyway if you...

my doctor did that for no 1 at 37 weeks. she thought i would go into labour soon after but baby decided to stay put. when i saw her one week later, she swept the membranes again and stretched the cervix and thought it was sure-go, but no... and i went in 2 days later for induction. the second...

desitin purple - like one mommy said. 40% zinc oxide. the ONLY diaper cream that's worked for my daughter - she's still using it at 17months. tried a number of other brands some mommies had listed above, but they don't work. it's the zinc oxide that prevents the rash

the naughty corner is not meant as a punishment. the underlying intent is for the kid to - over time and as he grows older - think and reflect on the episode. in fact, on his own initiative, my son has started calling it the thinking corner instead. the parent is supposed to follow up after the...

my daughter's fever shot up to almost 40 degrees in the middle of the night. we bundled the two of them to KKH. and then waiting for tests so asked my husband to bring the boy back. when i got home at 5am, my son was very excited that we were back. and then he got upset that i asked him to...
