(2005) Brides of year 2005


cailyn, when you say isaiah sleep thru the night, it's from wat time to wat time? now andrea's last feed is around 1am and next feed is around 7am. is that considered as sleeping thru the nite too? she has been like this for 2 wks liao.
 
berry - keke.. he still got alot of stray strands of long hair.. later must help me trim again! haha.. u let me noe abt e zoo thingy aftr u discuss w ur hb!
 
jenn, i second u..my thots are the same as u loh..male gynae more gentle and understanding and more strength to deliver bb..

ger2, too bad u wanna a female gynae. my gynae deliver both in TMC and Mt. Alvernia, if not, can recommend u..
 
daphne - now isaiah is sleeping a 10.. waking at 12.. then at 2, refusing to sleep will abt 6.. hb n i gg crazy liao.. think he got sleep issues lor!!
 
Daphne,
Tks ger....Now need advise frm u all leh...

Caitlyn,
Hee...really huh? wow, so nice leh...

Jenn,
True lor, but me prefer to give birth in Mt A lor =)...But seems like all e female gynae in TMC....
 
Newbbi,
For me, i think give birth in TMC is good for the following reasons : -
1) Good,helpful nurses and mid wife when u are in labour ward
2) Good confinement food which have nice soups that encourage break milk
3) Reasonable hospital price , book for 4-bedded will be auto upgrade to 2-bedded, maxisize medisave based on 4-bedded
4) Free couses on breast feeding or bb bathing during ur stay in the hospital
5) Can apply for the FBI card which entitled 10% on all screening (on 4th level) and parentcraft courses, eg : baby massage

So based on the above 5 points, why dun u consider to give birth in TMC instead of MT A ??? Further if u want to use the same gyane as Ting is using... TMC will be a beta choice liew..
Just an advise lah.
 
Pierced,
Ic..tks ger...hmm...like that hor, more gynaes are TMC lor...

Berry,
Tks ger..ya lor, our little ones will be palying together liao...and K will be the big bro lor =)...hee

Daphne,
Oh ya, hows Andrea todaY?
 
Newbbi, ya, IMO thk u can consider TMC coz i thk comparing, TMC rates are lower than Mt A and i thk facilities wise oso better. look newer to mi too. Mt A a bit 'bu fan bian'
so many gynaes to choose in TMC. can use ting's one if u really wan a female.

i dun really have cramps but more of the bloated feeling initially. thk could be something like ur womb expanding too? but as long not severe cramps and no bleeding should be fine
 
newbbi, i think you should decide on your gynae first and then choose hospital leh... cos gynae is with you for the next 10 mths while hospital is only that few days leh.... just my opinion lah.
andrea is much better now. managed to get her to drink full feed just now.
i had cramps initially but not very severe kind and if got brown discharge or bleeding, must see gynae immediately.
 
pierced,
Have u bot ur breast pump ??? My recommedation is medala electric pump, really good and the stimulation is oso good lor....
 
Jenn,
hmm....good idea...Okie, will consider that lor..Now hor, I duno which female gynae leh, Dr Caroline, Dr Joycelyn, Dr Eunice....hmm...me hungry liao...
 
Daphne,
How much milk is andrea drinking right now huh? My boy sometimes drink only 100ml meh.... seldom can finish his "suppose" full feed of 120ml lei.
 
Newbbi,
ha ha, u see , me, caitlyn, watashi all delivered in TMC, definitely got its good point. Even zoe tay oso choose TMC....

Me like working in TMC PR dept lei, keep telling u the adv of TMC...wahaha

If u want, use Ting's gyane from ACJ Women Clinic... as least both of u are using the gyane, can share points and words liew.
 
Daphne,
Ya, i agreed ameda pump is oso good... tt time at my gyane's clinic, the dual pump is selling for $321.00 , quite exp lor...

Me still buy the single pump cos budget constraint lah. So on 8th oct, when u go to work, u will be bring the pump to work along too ???
 
Daphne, glad to hear that Andrea is feeling better. cant imagine being so small and gg thru all these.

Jenn, i havent bought any pump but mi friend jus got mi a pigeon manual pump. ya! at first i considering medela pump too but didnt wanted to buy it first till prob aft delivery when cfn can BF. hee...dunno what to do with the new manual one now.
ic KKH oso selling quite ex for it leh.
 
congrats newbbi!!!

my gyane is male delivers in both Mount A and TMC heee, clinic is in CCK and SK.

ladies, sigh want to go for my appt this afternoon as next week not free. but told my manager about it, she told me "well i dont have a choice right" sigh.....
 
jenn, andrea is drinkg 110 - 120 of bm for each feed but sometimes, also only 100ml.... for formula, now i introduce to her similac and she can take 120ml for the 12mn / 1am feed.... and last her till 7am.
 
jenn, $320 for ameda is quite worth it cos i use it as heavy duty. pump 6x a day using that lor.... while my avent, last time i pump 8x a day, the machine wanna pichak liao... so now i use that solely when i go out or will bring to office cos dual pump too big to bring to office.
 
pierced, bring the pump to hospital and you can start pumping to stimulate the flow. try using the single pump and till you established your flow and know that you wanna and can bf long (at least 3 mths) then go and invest in a good pump. that's what i did.
 
Daphne,
Wa, similac that good, can last her for so long ??? Me still using fisco and so far, jayden can oso drink 120ml at night but still wake up one time in the night for feed...usually is 2 or 3am, then his next feed is 7am liew...

Further, i just order delivery of 6 tins, so dun think will change to similac liew.

How come u change ??? Nestle Nan not good for her huh ???
 
Daphne,
Dun u find avent manul pump too many "spare parts" to assemble ???

For electric pump, is so much easier to dismantle for washing and assemble back for faster usage.
 
Jenn,
tks ger...Really happy cos can ask alot of advises frm you all lor, at least I am not alone =)...hee... Me calling Ting's gynae now...Booked liao, next tues 10.15am =)...

Winni,
Tks ger...Ur gynae is Dr Adrian Woodsworth hor?
 
jenn, Nan is fine. just itchy hands wanna let her try new flavor.... keke..... but i think i will switch back to Nan cos i find that similac milk more bubbles than Nan leh.... last time when she is on Nan, she also slept thru the 3 /4am feed leh...
last nite best.... her last feed 11pm with 120BM and i tot will feed her again around 130am but cos too tired liao so decide to latch her instead at 1am and she zzz till 8am! First time BM last her so long leh...
 
jenn,u seems like working in TMC PR dept, promoting TMC leh...hahahaha.

although i prefer Mt. A to TMC (sorry hor, i am the odd one out!), i must admit that Mt. A and TMC each has their strong pts and bad pts..choosing either one of them is good cos there will def. be good & helpful nurses and mid wife when u are in labour ward, good confinement food which have nice soups that encourage break milk and most impt is the reasonable hospital price...

no offence hor...hahaha.

winnie, did u let ur mgr know in advance? if yes, i think it is v. bad to make such remarks...
 
jenn, my avent is also electric / batt pump. if manual, i think i'll throw it away after a few days.... as it is, electric single pump is taking me at least 30 mins to pump both side! cannot imagine manual will take me how long???
now dual pump only take me 15 mins.... and somemore handsfree.... so i can type and pump at the same time.
 
Daphne, in my impression, Raffles hospital is more to surgical side =PPP

normally for delivery, the hospital come to my mind is Mt. A, TMC, Eastshore, KKH cos it's nearer to my pl...kekeke
 
daphne- glad to hear tat andrea is recoverin well!

newbbi- wah u v fast! keke...see if u r comfy w her anot. meanwhile can prepare the list of qns u wana ask her.
 
congrats Newbbi! So happy for U! do take good care of yourself now. dun carry heavy thing and do strenous work now. Mine is a lady gynea and she delivers at Mt A also, u wan i can rec u to her.

daphne, hope andrea is recovering well. she so fast can sleep thru the nite ah. Ryan's last feed is ard 11pm and he will wake up by 4am for feed again.
 
Daphne,
$$ spend on ops can still earn back wan, most important andrea is recovering well ya.

ha ha, RH hospital, ur Dr Thiong gyane exp is very ex lei, but the ward in RH is really impressive lor.
 
Daphne,
U know hor, ytday i went to metro to buy wireless bra as i only have my 2 nursing bra....

Now i cant fit back to my cup B bra liew, have to wear cup C now, so later when i stop breastfeeding, hope breast can go back to B cup, if not, i have to buy all new bra again, sigh !!!!
 
Jenn, yup, prob i will try the manual one to stimulate flow first den see how. no pt investing in a gd pump till cfn can BF. hee...

Daphne, i tot cannot anyhow switch brands of milk. At first i tot good, next time got a lot of diff brand samples den can use them for the bb but mi mum was commenting once u start on a brand, muz stick to it unless the bb is allergic or something.
 
Pierced,
no problem, initally i oso got a manual avent pump which simply cannot work for me, then my CL suggest i use thumb squeezing method first with hot towel massage... after 1 week after i discharge from TMC, then i buy the medala single pump which i use until now... kee kee, initally heart pain cos exp lor...but didnt regret cos is really very good !
 
Daphne,
Initally i oso want jayden to drink similac wan..cos i heard the FM is closest to BM..

But hor fisco send a 900 gram FM to my hse before my delivery...so in TMC, i let jayden drink fisco and back home, i continue... so far, he is oki.... i think if he process to stage 2, me will still use fisco bah... dun want to change here and there, just in case he dun like it, then waste $$ ..... kee
 
Pierced,
aiyo, i dun want any breast enhancement lei, i still want back the original size will do, cos buying new bra very headache wan.....
 
jenn, isn't it good tat cup size upgraded?.. me envy leh. u going back to work next wk rite?.. so will be pumping in office? u will move back to depot or still stay wif your mum?

pierced, some bb might reject the milk if u switch coz taste different.
 


Watashi,
Wa liew, i dun want lah...too big very ugly when wear T-shirt..

Yap, me reporting work on next monday, will be pumping in the office toilet bah.. had went to kiddy palace to buy the cooler bag and ice pack to get ready liew..

Me will stay in SK first until end of Oct, cos my mum want me to bring jayden back to depot daily after he is 3mth old...
