thanks raoow! I didn't prepare any formula milk at home. Why not you throw away the FM? My mum is helping me with the confinement, so I will stick to BF.

Anybody looking for confinement nanny? I have mine to highly recommend. She is very experienced and used to be from a reputable agency but now working on her own so looking for clients. She can cook excellent confinement dishes, have knowledge of herbs and TCM. Her handling of baby is highly raved. She sings n talks to my boy when he is awake. Can tell she is very passionate in her work.. My boy was born 3.20kg but now he's a month old and almost 4.5kg! She is pro-breastfeeding and even helped me to get hot towel to massage my breasts. My BM is over productive thanks to her cooking.. So I am helping her to find her next customer as she is very good! Interested pls PM me, I am sure she will be very popular once she is in the market for sometime n not bounded by agency. U can quote my name to get a discount!
Thanks kcws for the update! It's really helpful 
yes stellaC! I m also wondering the same thing about showering n washing of hands!
a mummy - does glens provide like bath towels in case I need to shower? Ha..
any mummies donating the cord blood to public instead of private? We just decided and they must take 3 tubes of blood before I pop. As if I m not in enough pain
still waiting patiently for my turn.. Will try to enjoy the last week!

hi all, my edd is on 26 sept, very excited but a bit scared...
My edd is on 26th too. I secretly hope that my baby will come out before 26 :x how big is your baby?
Hi raoow, do not feed your baby with FM if you want to breast feed, this will lower down your supply. And new born baby don't need to drink so much.
Try talk to someone who do full breastfeed to encourage you, ask your CL stop talking that you don't have enough milk. Every new mummy need time to boost up supply. My sister in law dont' have milk at first 2 week at all, she manage to bf her baby more than 6 month. You can do it also.
Hi mummies, was just looking at the thread cos it reminded me of myself last year! I'm a sept mummy too! My boy will be 1 on 24th
Have been fully bf my boy for close to a year now. I remember it was tough at first, with baby crying for milk every few hours. It makes u wonder if u have enough milk. But don't give in easily to fm! Just let nature take its course! If there's demand, there'll be supply let baby continue suckling and latching and ur supply will be established
Drink plenty of fluids and soups! It may be painful at first, bear with it and ur body will get used to it.
Have a great journey ahead with ur loved one mummies

Dear mummies, don't touch cool water after birth, if really necessary use HOT WATER instead. I keep washing my hand now the 2nd day can feel numbness on my pump >_<Mummies who have given birth.. I have questions regarding post-delivery care.. Hope u all can share.
Did u all shower after delivery? Or "confinement" rules kick in already and cannot shower? How to keep clean down there since menses come and we cannot shower? And also I heard from a friend that we should avoid touching water, her hand was in great pain after her confinement cos she kept washing her hands. So cannot wash hands or wash face?
and any constipation? That's my greatest fear of all
Can request medicine to soften ur bowel
Raoow, keep BF, ur milk supply will boost up according to baby demand, at least 3hrly. Indeed baby do not need a lot breast milk as almost 100% will absorb by the baby. Formula need more milk cos baby won't able to digest all n will end up in bowel. Keep it on, you can do it.
Dear mummies who diagnose with Group Streps B, especially 2nd baby. If have any sign of labour, especially if WATER burst. RUSH to hospital IMMEDIATELY n informed them u have GSB. My water burst on 1.10am, by the time I'm in delivery suite already 3am+ I inform them once i get in the delivery suite, not sure when they put in the antibiotic drip. But, my progress very fast, my baby born 5.28am, only one dose of antibiotic able to drip, they need 2 dose.
I discharged today but my baby need to be warded in ICU cos they suspect he got infection as he keep vomiting :'(

Wow! haven't been logging here over the weekend and saw that quite a few mummies have popped the babies!! ancing_wub:
ZPF & Yiks & yanting & kcws & Jerlynn: congrats congrats!
Colostrum is the best for the baby! Anyway, it's normal that there's no milk for the first few days. don't give up, jusst keep massaging or expressing.
I heard about the pain in the hand after confinement too. I am told we can bath using herbs from TCM, or water which is boiled. Can wash hair, but must blow dry immediately. I believe in the old wives' tale so am just going to follow the confinement rules.

My antenatal class taught me to bf for at least the first month. It's normal to have not enough milk for the first few days or week. just keep trying!
I had bleeding and called hospital and they asked me to go down to check also. And there was contraction just that I didn't feel it.
Hope he recover soon! You take a good rest so that you have energy to take care of dear son when he is discharged!

Dear mummies, just gave birth to a baby girl this noon. 3kg via induced. Just warded to a room..anyway mine was an induced case, so below is my experience...
Was inserted with a pill ard 12 midnight to soften d cervix..gradually i start feeling contraction ard 5am..still bearable at 30plus pain rate. Suddenly waterbag burst at 530am n i was pushed to d delivery ward cos cervix open fr 1.5cm to 5cm? that was when i suddenly have intense pain..it really like a steep hill..fr 30plus to 120plus..not prepared at all..tried to endure but failed..so at 6cm dialation, i hv to take epi..moreover today 9Sept so auspicious that all anesthesians r fully booked so d nurse got to run out n grabbed any doc available..luckily i still able to take epi..n then relieved..
So mummies, if u r induced case i think u may want to talk with ur gynae on what may happen on d day n ur options available..dont b like me almost got no anesthesian to admister epi or d anesthesian may take some time to arrive ur delivery ward n u may b in high pain..
But having said this, each mummy r brave in ur own way, so this is my two cents worth.
