<font color="ff0000">Sheryn></font>thanks for sharing my birth story. haha....was surprised to see it..
<font color="ff0000">Jenifur></font> Rayanne is 53cm.
<font color="ff0000">mampoko></font> i was in a too distress state that the nurses made my HB put the laughing gas on me permanently. As the contractions had reached a new peak..
and the jab had yet to take effect...
I was made drowsy..and i could literally feel myself sleeping...
I was just lying there motionless and let the nurses did what they wanted with me..(Basically VE me every other dunno how many min...)
But it was good that i dilated fast from 5-8cm in 30min the moment the jab took effect coz i was in a relaxed state.
I only cringed and squeezed my HB's hands when the contractions come... but with my eyes closed and lying on my left..
that was my only form of relief..
HB's support was very impt coz he held the mask on me with one hand, the other for me to abuse...
And he was half standing and bending coz to reach me.. (he had a bad backache when we reached the ward after delivery.. )
I felt the pushing part the most shiok..wheneever the contractions come and we push together, thats a pain relief..
the focus was on the pushing and not the contractions...
Made to push thrice with each contractions...
My girl was real big...and hence i had a pretty long episiotomy..Gynae says else i'll tear badly...
stiches are still hurting now..cant sit too long..best to lie down....

I discharged on 10th and the moment we reached home, bb was crying nonstop for 4 hours such that she was losing her voice..
i got so upset and heartache seeing her cry that i broke down too..
we called the hosp and was asked to send her back to see whats wrong...
Turn out she was in hunger.. Though i was BF her since day 1, but she wasnt sucking that well on 1st nite.. and 2nd day morning..
so she didnt actually got much... but 2nd day itself i fed her many times..and it was all colostrum..
She had pinkish urine twice coz lack of fluid intake...
So by the time we went home, milk still yet to come in.. (Day 3)
And hence even though she was sucking for 30min every one hour, she still didnt get the amt of fluid she needed..
ANd hence, when she was fed FM at the hosp when we went back, she stopped crying..
So it was purely hunger that made her cried soo miserably...
I was glad that i relented.. coz if i insisted on not giving her FM, she'll be dehydrated..
Nurses at Mt A were very very supportive and kind..
Seeing that both mummy and baby were crying, they comforted me and offered us 4 bottles of milk to go home and standby..together with 4 disposable NUK teats..
When i came back.. i alt between BM and FM when she cant seem to be satisfied even after sucking for 30min...
So just yest, we bought a can of milk to supplement..
And since yest, my milk has come in...but she somehow still not satisfied...
and i've been badly engorged since last nite..
I've managed to pump out about 70ml yest frm 3-4 different pumpings...
and right now, i'm awake pumping.... thats why i'm here...
Even after pumping, the engorgement still there...
i had to apply hot towel, massage and pump on one side...then repeat on the other side...
and only like 10ml of milk... that is per pump..., today is day 5....
But its good that milk is coming in....but i pray my engorgement will go down.. but i dunno how it will happen...unless i pump every 2 hours??
baby is not happy sucking.. not sure she too used to teats already or what...
or she cant suck it out..but so much milk and cannot come out.... why ah?? >.<"
<font color="ff0000">Jul></font> now i have the same problem... dunno why my gal doesnt want to suck....
she'll suck and then push away.. i hope this is temporary....
<font color="ff0000">Pam></font>

<font color="ff0000">mama6></font> but if baby is cryng and pushing ur breasts away then how???
i worried she too used to FM bottle..coz have given her 3 last nite..as my breasts too sore and peeling and engorged..
and she just dun wan to latch on...she'll suck and push out screaming..just let her scream..
i wanna her to help me relief engorge...but if she dun wanna suck..then how?

<font color="ff0000">Mount A Bill- Single Bedded with HB Stay in for 3 days 2 nites></font></font>
Mummy bill> $$2941.75
Baby Bill> $1069.12
Will share the breakdown when i have the time..
Think my PD's charges a bit high!! Coz PD itself is $310.70....
But my gynae's fee is much lower at $1086.05, inclusive of Attendanace & Operation fees..
Total Bill: $4010..87
Medisave Claim: About $2373.66
Total Cash Payable: $1637.21 ( but should be lesser coz HB forgot to add my name as 2nd claimant for Medisave)
This is just the interim bill..they'll send the finalised bill over in 2 weeks time.
Am quite pleased that single bedded is roughly about $4k only...
<font color="ff0000">rest time></font>
going to rest a while before bringing Bb to PD for Hep B jab....
bye all!
