I dont feel much pain actually. Only first 3 days on painkiller, after that i stopped.Would like to ask there is pain at stitch area, seem cant leave without painkiller. How long does the pain last?
Butt8rfly , I admire ur determinations n strong will...bt if I were to go thru again, I still dun think I can do it your way...
I oso realised my baby is asking for milk wif shorter interval, is it normal? I was a little reluctant to cause nipple a bit sore...now she is sort of every 2 hrs feed...
I lost about 5kg on day 4. But since i put on a total of 22kg over my pregnancy...it's still a long way to go.
Yes, I also get very hungry now that I'm breastfeeding. Other than the normal meals, must eat late morning snack, tea break and supper.
I'm using Avent single electric breast pump.
Climsp, Fanger n the rest who are still waiting, should be quite fast liao... I also had a slight drop in weight few days before i popped.
Haha... Answering a few pple's questions in one reply.
I have a question...any of your babies' jaundice reading is going by hundreds instead of tens?
I brought my baby back on day 5 to do jaundice test and the result was 274.
Wanna ask mummies who have normal delivery!! Where ur hubby stand?? Beside & hug u while face the gynea or stand beside gynea facing ur VJJ n massage ur legs?? My hubby scare if he see any blood will faint!! Haha! Cos his friend who use the same gynea was ask to massage his wife legs n face the VJJ. His face is kind of scared also.

hi rellako,to those mummies that have gave birth in Mt Alvernia..dont mind i have some queries:
- overall cost excluding gynae fees, 1 bedder..
- how's the service?
- got give bathtub right? haha.. and what else?
- if no BM supply, currently what FM are they giving?
- got complimentary parking for spouse? my hb will be there with me for a few days.. imagine the cost of parking without a complimentary ticketi rmb reading in some forum thread that they do give out, but last week false alarm so make a trip there, they say no leh!
Hello rellako,Hello arielc, so u paid cash $4k plus? How much is your gynae fees? Assisted delivery with vacuum or forceps? So the parking is discounted huh, not totally complimentary right...
hey tannie...Thanks butt8fly. Now my girl tend to be wide awake after feeding n refuse to sleep...
Mummies, does ur newborn sleep immediately after feeding or do u need to pacify them to sleep? She was awake since last nite 4am feed n refuse to sleep no matter, so I Am changing, feeding and pacifying her till 8am... I am so tired...
Hi cn211279, my gal went to check up last wed, pd said need to go back to see her on tue If her body still shown yellowish. Today her face still bit yellow, dont know still need to bring her to see pd not, btw, only blood test can check the level of the jaundice ? How I know if the level is drop?
Disnt know polyclinic has this facility. Do we just walk in and let them know to test for baby jaundice level? Or do we have to make appt? Any polyclinic? How much does the test cost? Is results available on the spot?Hi, tataro,
I actually bring my son to the polyclinic every 2-3 days to do a blood test to test the juandice level. Some private clinics got a special scanner that can scan the forehead to test the pigmentation of the skin as well. I know that raffles has that. But not sure if there are other clinics with such scanners.

Hey ladies, I went for hospital tour, they say parking is $5.10 per day unlimited entry. And if u r in labour, ur hubby can just park somewhere at the entrance ( as long as not ambulance slot) deposit u in delivery room first. Later then shift car to carpark.Hello rellako,
we paid $3.4k in cash... my gynae fee was $1.8k.. normal delivery (not assisted)...
hmm parking i not sure leh.. maybe it is complimentary.. cos we didn't go an exchange, so can't be sure... anyway you rem to exchange the ticket,
sure will be cheaper!
