Hi all, I just did my surgery last night. The cyst was 15cm with 1litre of water content. Yesterday was really a nightmare with hubby n I shuffling here n there to do the MRI scan. Then e conversation with e specialist n the Gynae really worried e hell out of us. They said e cyst was close to my ovary so if needed they will cut that away.. Upon hearing that I teared so much.. Well though we don't intend to hv any more kids alrdy but it's like part of my female organs removed.. Then Gynae explained the risk of e surgery said may puncture other parts of my organs... If the keyhole operation is not possible they will cut a vertical large line on my tummy... n it will remain as a scar forever.. Hearing all these doesn't help..


Anw glad everything is over. They managed to do the keyhole surgery so it's four small cuts across my navel.


The docs r still puzzled how come this was undetected. Even Oscar n detailed scans also didnt show the cyst. So it remains a mystery. Hopefully can discharge later... I miss my babies..


hubby has been e greatest ever.. Hugged me n cried. First time see him cry.. Hehz.. U know its all these happenings that make u appreciate ur family n ur love ones.. They r always there for u no matter wat ;)

Oh my piglim, pls take care! Hugz.

Thanks for all the advise mummies. Guess I can now do exclusive pumping now. I miss latching my girl on already. Btw, do u mummies pump in public, not out in the open of coz but in nursing rooms? Coz bringing ebm out is one thing, how do u deal with ur engorgement?

Also, if I intend to gradually reduce my milk supply b4 going back to work using cold cabbage, will it affect my milk supply for my next child in the future? Sorry for the many qns.

Thank u all mummies.. I will discharge today. Tummy feeling sore from e op. sigh see my tummy still big (though now not as big n stretched as before) n I can't do my massage until 1 mth later. So upset.. Cos that will mean e massage will no longer b effective right.. Haiz... Can only hope that thru bf my tummy will reduce in size over time. Mummies how long did it take for ur tummy to shrink? My first pregnancy I think I end of confinement looked near to normal. Now I m into my second week of confinement Le..

I hvnt carried my baby for 4/5 days.. Feel so bad.. N my son... He must b thinking why mummy suddenly disappear from home on n off n why mummy not carrying him anymore.. Son is now very very attached to my hubby which is a Gd thing but I feel sad that I can't b as close to him.. Hopefully after my confinement I can mend that bond back...

I hv been pumping my breast but not very diligently thru e night cos still drowsy. Each pump now can pump 70ml one side. Hopefully it will increase soon so that my daughter can n on total breastmilk. She is now drinking 70ml ( but not sure if she has increased during my stay in hospital)

take care mummies. Sigh we women really hv to suffer n go thru alot eh.. From e pain during pregnancy to delivery to post delivery after that still hv to struggle with work n taking care of the children n family.. Really not easy.

My supply is quite low. One day only about 200ml. Only able to supplement besides formula. He is drinking 90ml each time and interval of 1 to 2 hrs only. Is that normal?

Quite alot to consume within 1 week? But its alright as long as he wants to drink? He keeps asking n crying for milk.

how many feeding per day? and what is ur current baby weight... I remember someone sharing in facebook (edd may group) on how to calculate ur bb needs to take in one feed... If I never remember wrongly it is ur baby weight in kg multiplied by 150 n divide it by number of feeds in 24 hrs.

I think maybe around 8 feeding. His last checkup on monday he was 3.65kg. Another question is also how do u all deal with phlegm in baby? He has alot of phlegm.
