Hi momopeachgirl
How r u doing? I was stressed initially n tired from hourly feed. Yes, hourly feed to keep jaundice low.

Hi Luckystar
Natural without epi is achievable but induced without epi is worse according to my gal friend who gave birth 19/11 to her 2nd baby. So try avoid being induced if dont want epi ok?

Actually I almost give up n take epi but when my hubby approach doc n mention epi the gynae very steady n brush him off. I almost yell my hubby why not insist if I had the strength but luckily I conserve energy for the 'push push hand hold buttocks' part. Anyway I'm too late to take epi oso hahahaha according to midwife.
Hi dmummy.
Hang in there ok ? Best of luck ok gtg bf milk monster now

Hi mummies! Just back from checkup. :)

Momo, sze, Judith and Lovepixie, enjoy your motherhood! The rest will join u all soon! :)

Allele and Lovepixie, Ya you are right. My gynae still advises me to wait one more week... Haha actually just now my hubby and I were asking whether can induce this weekend.. but he said cos baby still not engaged, if I induced now, chances ending to c-sect is high. Gd news is baby is lower now, and amniotic fluid though lesser than last time, still within normal range. Baby gained front 3.2 to 3.3kg... so he said if on my edd still not out, then it's a good reason to induce or c-sect. Haha I find him quite stick to principle. When I asked can see him on 10th or 11th, he said still not edd leh...

Okay so I will do more pelvic rock and squat and walk this weekend! MamaDT, we jia you ok! Who knows we will meet each other at tmc... even if not zhun zhun also may have chance to bump into each other. :) I think my boy more like me... everything slow slow take own sweet time.

Allele all the best to you for your induction Tmr!

MamaDT and luckystar, we jia you ok! Mamadt, Who knows we will meet each other at tmc... even if not zhun zhun also may have chance to bump into each other. :) I think my boy more like me... everything slow slow take own sweet time.

Cherry, don't worry about the weight... At first I was worried about bb's weight remember? Haa then suddenly I saw so many mummy popping out their babies one by one and their babies all got weigh lighter than what was scanned... So I convinced myself not to induce coz of baby's weight but for medical reason (such as overdue, or my condition or baby's distress) heehee
The most if bb is too big, c-sect! *pray for smooth natural delivery!*
Agree, jia you yah! I won't be doing squat haha coz too tiring for my skinny legs :p I will do walking and climb staircase and massage breast (natural induce) haha
Hopefully we meet each other in TMC! Heehee u taking two bedded or single? ;)
Can't wait to gather more bb info next tues appt! ^^

Luckystar and DMummy, jia you also ok!! Hopefully ur baby listens to u! ^^

Beenies and Mreow, how's everything? Remember to post pic of bb and update ur progress when there's chance and not tired ok! ^^ Push Push! Jia you!

Hi mummies, here goes my birth story~
my waterbag leaked around 11+ after a movie with my hubby last nite. Felt something not right....when I reached home, I got bloody show on my pad followed by contractions! Upon seeing this I'm quite sure I'm into labour and so w/o much hesitation, my husband n I decided to take our things n go straight to the hospital. The contractions got stronger at abt 10-15mins intervals. We reached the hospital around 1.30am. The nurse changed me and did some usual verification. I was strapped on CTG and after the cervix checked, nurse confirmed I'm abt 2-3cm dilated. She asked if it's my first child and I said yes...and she told us that usually it's 1hr=dilate 1cm normally for 1st baby. We r sort of prepared to wait for another 6/7hrs before I'm fully 10cm dilated.
Guessed we r wrong, The nurse checked my cervix again n announced that I'm 6cm dilated!! Wow that's quite fast considering it's only one hr later! I Struggled with the pain and was quite persistent to go w/o any painkillers! Suddenly I felt quite irritated whenever the nurse came into the delivery room and asked if I want any laughing gas...hahaa i turned down the offer and continued to bear with the pain. It was really quite messy cos I pooed and even pee-ed on the bed during the the stronger contractions! Quite embarrassing but the nurse said it's due to baby's head pushing lower by then thus pressing on my bladder!!
Then within another hr, I'm 8cm dilated, I can sensed the nurse quite surprise and said she will call my gynae when I'm 10cm dilated.

And during the last hr, the pain was really really so bad that I pee-ed even more! I really dont know how I managed the pain, all I could rem was I kept thinking of my mum n told myself if she could go w/o any painkillers so can I! Hahaaa, sound like a competition but it really works!!

I listened to the two nurses n my gynae's instructions on when to push during my contractions and how to breathe... With abt 5 pushes my baby is born at 4.36am! She was pretty alert and yes with head full of dark hair hahaa. Her crying is sure a loud one...and she weighs 2.785kg. We tried the skin to skin but I was sooo tired after all the dramas that I only let her bond with me for abt 10mins before she's being passed to the nurse for cleaning up. :)
Tried to latch her but she keep sleeping so the lactation consultant taught me how to express by hand and syringe her with my colostrum first. Which I think it's really sufficient already....considering my baby needs time to learn how to latch...I'm quite flexible to try out other ways to feed her so long as no formula milk but 100% breastfeeding! :)

I'm officially a mummy! Yeah!!!

Good luck to the rest of the mummies who r still waiting.

Lovepixie, Wah!! 1-1.5 hrs?!!! I only feed every 3 hrs during first 3 days in hospital, then now is every 2-4 hrs....
I think you need to drink alot red dates water or any form of liquid to maintain milk flow... My mil cooked green papaya soup & black bean soup for me... You can try that...
And ya... I din eat ginger at all, although my confinement food cooked with ginger...

Allele, thanks... Kate is on full breastfeeding now... I yet express out EBM to store, will only do it when free or too tense... Right now I noticed my right side breast is leaking while feeding left side... Aihz...

stitch removed yesterday, recovery is good... Going back for postnatal check up 6weeks later

Momo, dun b so stress... Try to think of sthg positive.... And rest more instead of getting stress over BM :) guessed Sze Sze gave quite good advice on drinking enuff fluid and the soup.

I hope I can bf too after delivery but I am prepared to give fm if not enuff BM for first 10 days.... At the same time, will try to drink as much fluid and massage breast as possible to simulate EBM / BM :)

Momo, jia you!!! Hugs!

hi Sze Sze

Green papaya soup sounds nice. Do u hv any recipe? My MIL initially forbade me any vege cos its too cold. I took some when she is not seeing. Also bcos jaundice is caused by too heaty I stopped taking ginger n red dates today. Also I have bloody nose due to too much heaty food. I need to take more normal food.

Hi momopeachgirl

Just let baby suck. I was so insistant to build up my BM I hide all the FM away. Also remember baby's belly is d size of a marble ball. So don't worry if frequent feed or not enough. No need to force baby use fm too much.

Hi mummies, this is what I learn from nurses n friends who r experienced mom.
BF is the best way to clear all birubin bcos baby liver can't handle all the task it need to perform yet.

Today I was stressed n gave in to mil feeding baby with grape juice and bathing her with coconut juice to reduce her jaundice. Also to prove baby enough feed I bf both breast for 10 mins each breast n let mil feed fm. Baby won't even suck after 2 sip. This proven the theory abt baby small belly size. And no need FM. I drank her FM up. Waste not want not and yuck.

Since baby liver already have too much birubin to process if top up FM baby's liver need to process the by products of FM. Remember all processed food has byproducts and chemicals. Adult can process it but it be hard for newborn to process it. That's y we also not encouraged to take fast food or canned food during pregnancy.

Sorry for the long post.

Hi mummies / mummies-to-be, need some advice. I'm in my 39weeks+, cervix already soften and baby is around 3.5kg. So far no sign yet and gynae suggested that I should be induced soon. Am having mixed feelings, to wait for a few more days or just go ahead? Thanks!
