Today i manage to persuade one mummy to take out her space for me to put my pump bag. Another mummy teach me how to compact my bag space so i dun have to carry the bottles bag, i manage to squeeze everything into the pump bag. It be less heavy for me since i have to carry it to and fro work.
At the end of the day when i go back to mother in law house, M told me that baby has just learn to flip on the sofa! But i missed seeing it.. so sad. Then as we talk, baby flip again! So amazing because he is only 2.5 months old and flipping is an advanced stage at this moment. He has been trying to flip last month but always not successful. Then he is so happy that he succeed, he flip again when we fetch him back home on our own sofa! But i end up so worried he will flip on his bed when sleeping and not safe, i cannot sleep well. Middle of the night around 1am when i woke up to feed him, he is in semi flip position. I guess i must quickly take out the sleep positioner and wash it for his use so that can restrict his flipping at night since we won't be able to check on him so often while sleeping.

Going back to work
Today my maternity leave finish and i have to go back to work. So sianz. I worry too much and missed my baby so much, i only manage to fall asleep around 1am. Early in the morning i wake up at 4plus am to feed baby so basically i only sleep 3 hours. Then dressed myself and bb, pack the thaw milk into cooler bag and pump bag then M drove us to his mum house to reach by 7am since our car is a weekend car. We reached there past 5minutes, hopefully won't be caught. Then we eat breakfast at his mum house and then M drove me to Braddell MRT using his dad car since he took leave today and tomorrow to help out his mum to familise with taking care of our baby.
I prepare all my stuff for pumping milk at work, our office has a mummy corner specially for pumping. However a lot of mummies are using and the room is very small, the slots left are not many and i took the following 3 slots - 8.45am, 12.15pm and 3.15pm. There isn't space in the cabinet for my pump bag and stuff, i have no choice but to put under the sink. Later in the day i realise that the sink area has chemical smell and i am worried that putting my pump there is not clinically safe since i am using that to express milk for my baby. I think next day i try to talk to the rest of the mummies to squeeze 1 space for me at least to put my pump bag. The bottles bag i will carry to and fro from my cubicle. I dun want to carry my pump bag to and fro the room as I dun want my boss to know i am expressing milk in case he make things difficult for me.
First day go back work, i reach office around 8.20am then went to put my pump bag in the mummy room, went back to my cubicle to show my face since work start at 8.45am, then went down to pump around 8.50am.
my colleagues told me today is budget deadline and they haven't done my projects as boss ask them to wait for me to come back. So depressing but i guess boss doesn't expect me to finish by today since i just come back. anyway i end up chatting with colleagues as we got a lot of things to catch up, esp baby talk. I got 1000 emails in my mail box, i just read some recent emails, dun tink i can clear them. Then with expressing milk 3 times a day, i been missing from my desk 3 times. Even not enough time to finish my work. Somemore i need to go back to fetch my baby so i dun want to work overtime. Anyway just try to relax, dun want to overstress myself.
After work i rush back to my mother in law house to fetch baby, missed my baby so much. M says today everything is fine. I lost my way when going to my mother in law house, heee.. me always lost my way. So tired cos only sleep 3 hours today, but end of day see baby feel happy.

Maternity leave ending soon
My maternity leave ending soon next week. Most of my work clothes i still cannot wear as my waistline has been thicker and due to breastfeeding i also need to change my top. So i went to Orchard road for 2 shopping trips over the past weeks, so tiring as i need to rush back in time for feeding (i leave 1 bottle at home but i cannot skipping pumping/feeding beyond 6hours or else supply may reduce). I haven't complete purchasing yet. I guess i go Ang Mo Kio hub to buy some more clothes. Luckily got bonus so enough to change the wardrobe. I buy enough for 1 week wear. also need to change my shoes but can't get satisfying ones.
At first wanted my mum to help out only during confinement. But baby still fussy and hard to cope, so i ask mum to extend her stay to another month. Then end of 2nd month, I ask her to extend again and so she stayed for my whole maternity leave except weekends she go back to rest and do her housework. I didn't have chance to go out often though, my mum cook our lunch and dinner and i help take care of baby during the day then night time my mum take over so i have some time to enjoy. M enjoy the best, he play game everynight.
During my leave me and mum quarrel at times mainly due to baby stress and also my mum got complaints on M often so we always end up debating. Nevertheless i am thankful for her help if not i guess i get hysteria cos at times baby keep crying non-stop no matter how i pacify. Then he also need me to carry him and walk for 1-2 hours. so tired.

Full month celebration
Due to too much stress during confinement with baby always fussy and me struggling with breastfeeding and also our house is terribly messy, i didn't want my mother in law to visit us and she was not happy. I was near depression during confinement.
We decided to hold our full month celebration in a restaurant. I invited some of my close friends. So worried that baby will be fussy but luckily he was fascinated by the stroller for quite some time then only at the end of the dinner he cried. But my mother in law give us a black face throughout and mum isn't happy. I guess she cannot understand our reason for not letting her visit us during confinement. She is also jealous over my mum i think. My mum even try to pacify her by letting her hold and play with our baby throughout the dinner.
The day before we distribute cakes to relatives. We order sweetestmoments and it is wonderful. Anyway my mum said when she drop by my mother in law house (cos M drove my mum to my grandma house to distribute cake then halfway drop by his mum house to pass some cakes), my mother in law didn't invite her in and was quite rude.
I wasn't pleased with my mother in law in fact unhappy over her attitude towards my mum.
The next day i distribute cakes to my colleagues, end up spent 1 hour there chatting cos they have a lot of things to ask me. Then i meet up with my insurance agent.

Breastfeeding and post delivery
I was discharged on Monday 2 June. I didn't have a good rest in hospital as the hospital bed is very uncomfortable and too short (my legs was dangling most of the time). In addition my stitches and piles pain are both giving me problem that i can hardly sleep. The nurse at Thomson also pile me with 2 to 3 pads at one time and its very uncomfortable. Moreover, the pads are Kotex brand and very hard.
We tried to bring our baby to our ward room as much as possible, since i am staying at a single ward room. At one point we have to bring baby back to nursery because our temperature at ward room is too cold. I tried to breastfeed but has no milk in hospital, so we always resort to feeding formula milk to baby, even though nurse say no need to let baby drink any food because he should have some "stored food" from pregnancy but our baby keep crying so we succumb to giving him formula milk.
Many people visited me in hospital on Sunday 1 June and i received several hampers. Mostly are baby items or tonics. Maybe because of my baby head size and forceps, my stitches are quite long and painful. I wasn't able to walk properly on discharge day, however i do not want to extend anymore because its very expensive. So I struggle like crab walking. In the end, M get a wheelchair to get me to the hospital entrance. We manage to attend the baby talk by Parentcraft before we left. It is quite useful as the nurse teach on Breastfeeding and baby bath.
Tuesday:- I manage to have some colostrum, tried to breastfeed baby and top up with formula milk - 90ml. Stitches still painful and unable to walk properly.
Wednesday: Start to have engorgement and very painful, cannot sleep. Have to use cabbage leaves to relieve engorgement. Nurse at TMC said we cannot use more than 20mins or else it will reduce milk supply. I also pump a lot and latch baby for as long as 2 hours during 1 feed. Cried as mum cannot understand breastfeeding and keep asking is it some problem.. then stitches pain and breasts pain..
Thursday: Went back to TMC for gynae and PD checkup. Initally i wanted to postpone the appointment cos i thought i won't be able to walk properly, but manage to walk properly on Wednesday. The queue is quite long for the PD but the nurses try to slot in earlier for us. However, bb is not v co-operative as he poo immediately once we reach clinic. Then after cleaning the poo, he wants milk again though he has eaten 1 hour ago (but he only eat half dosage tat time). So end up we wasted time in the PD clinic. PD said our baby has mild jaundice and require sun bathe (around 105 jaundice level). Then we went to see my gynae and she told me my wound is longer bec' of my bb head size and forceps. Told my gynae abt the horrible water retention at my feet but was told tat it is normal and i have to wait for weeks for it to clear itself. Engorgement of breasts, my gynae also say i have to bear with it for 2 weeks or so and there is no medicine unless it reduce the supply. Only way is to pump and feed regularly.. so i get my bb to latch on for nearly 1 hour plus, he wake up and sleep and wake up and sleep, so many pauses in btw.. sometimes i nearly fall asleep feeding him. But coming to like him a lot now.. heee. Btw i finally sit on swimming float, its much better now.
Friday- Sunday: Engorgement suddenly disappear. Milk supply increase but still need to top up with FM, around 60-80ml. Then reduce to 20-60ml. I almost wanted to give up on breastfeeding, so torturous and baby not co-operative (he gets impatient with no milk) and we always have to top up with formula, its quite troublesome. But M said partial breastfeeding is also ok since formula milk has some nutrients which breastmilk does not have.
Monday: Me finally receive some reward on my BF. Just now when i go to nap then i wake up suddenly my t-shirt is soaked with milk. Then i finally able to feed bb twice w/o using any FM! Heee so happy. Yest i been reading some articles and realise tat the speed of flow of milk could be my problem and tat i can use the hand compression method to make the milk flow faster. So am doing tat and the latching time seems to reduce too.
Tuesday: Toking abt post-natal depression.. yesterday M bring up the topic tat MIL want to visit bb during confinement.. third time tat hb bring up the topic and i ored told him i dun want.. then yest dunno why cannot tahan then i breakdown and cry and cry. Was worried abt my eyes, then worried abt bb cos he always cry non-stop for few hours at nite due to no reason, then worried i can't bf him for long due to eye problem..then my mum also not happy with my hb n complain but yet dun want me to clarify with hb if not she wanna pack up go back home. Then M so busy with work recently that he hardly had time to tok to me or spend time with bb at home..me feel so neglected Me v pei chey.. dunno why M cannot reject his mum's request then feel so bad for rejecting her.. cos i really find it inconvenient for ILs and their family to visit me n bb during confinement esp with my mum and brother at home, then my bb also not easy to take care one.. if got disruptions he will kick a fuss and refuse to sleep. M like very easy come home after work no need to do anything just play game n relax, then i got breastfeed like siao and rotate with my mum to take care of bb. Dunno if u all hb same same or not.. sometimes i tink we women sacrifice so much for delivery but hb like dun understand the pains we gone through.
Wednesday: M took morning leave to bring baby to see PD because he had heat rashes on his face and neck. PD said that our baby jaundice sis fine and no need to sunbathe. PD also gave some colic drops to relieve wind as our baby has been staying awake during night time and seems to have problem with wind thus cannot fall asleep during that time. My mum has to always carry him around for few hours so that me and M can catch some sleep. It is torturous.
After applying cream, the rashes seem to get better.
Thursday to Friday:- Baby continue to be fussy and refuse to sleep at night time for few hours. He will also cry and rant and require people to carry him. Sigh.. Loss of sleep..

Birth of my son
Saturday morning 2am - Have severe backache. The pain is at the tail bone of the spine. The pain is to intense that it affected my spine, my thigh and whole leg such that i have difficulty walking, even around the house. I couldn't sleep and contractions is around 10min intervals and lasted for 2 hours. Finally at 4am, i can't sleep still and the backache is so severe that i cannot walk without support. Very convinced tat i am in labour although i am still 10min interval contractions, but i can't walk properly and in v horrible pain, i tot i must quickly go hosp if not i may not be able to walk at all! 5am - reach TMC and went to observatory room. The nurse at observatory room is quite rough in checking cervix, but she is quite nice to check with my gynae. She said i am only 1.5cm dilated so actually can't be transfer to labour ward unless gynae agrees. So she checked with gynae and gynae want me to be warded. So nurse give me the medicine to clear bowels and change to hospital gown. I was so painful tat time i need help to go toilet. after clearing bowels and changing i was pushed to labour ward.
8am - i ask nurse to check my cervix and still only 2cm dilated. I can't tong the pain and have to use the breathing method to relieve pain but the backache is very very horrible. Nurse see me in so big pain ask me to get epidural if not i am not last to pushing stage. I succumb to epidural (actually wanted to wait until 3cm dilation) and request even though gynae still haven't reach and check on me.
9plus - Anasethist reach and put epidural, i was then 2.5cm dilated. Peace came and i was in wonderland, it is so relieve!! Gynae reach around 1hour later, check and said only 2.5cm dilated, so she put induce medicine in my drip. She predicted i shd be able to reach pushing stage by 5pm.
Noon time (forget wat time) - nurse checked and only dilate 3.5cm. Nurse said shd be long labour considering that i am having 3 to 5min contractions for few hours but dilation is very slow.
6pm - checked and only dilate 6cm. Gynae said in this case may be dragged until 9pm. 7pm - suddenly dilation came very fast and i was dilated 9cm. Called gynae and gynae reach, then said she be back around 9pm to check again. 8.30pm - nurse checked and said i am 10cm dilated, ask me to push. I tried pushing but no avail. Then nurse went back home and another covering nurse came.
9pm - covering nurse checked and found that dilation is not 10cm (the previous nurse make a mistake) so she ask me to hold on to 30min for full dilation, if not i be wasting strength to push. HOwever, i have ored wasted strength when the previous nurse make a mistake. 10pm - Full dilation and try to push, but strength ored gone. Only able to push until nurse can see head, but not crowning yet. I ask for gynae, then found tat the stupid nurse never ask the gynae to come. she intend to wait until my bb head crown then call gynae!! i scared of tear and i want gynae to come imm, so i scolded the nurse! cos cannot tahan the pain and although i am on epidural, the pain is too big and i can't increase epi as epi dosage is ored v high. I can feel the pushing sensation and everything. I scolded the nurse so the nurse ask gynae to come and i can stop pushing just wait for assistance.
10.30pm - gynae came and suggest forceps cos i have no strength to push and bb head is big, 3.5cm. BB is out within 5mins of forceps, if i know its so easy with forcep i will request for forceps immediately.
10plus - my BP suddenly drop to 50 due to lack of blood and low pain threshold. Gynae and many nurses have to rescue me, nearly use Blood E transfusion. I was vomitting water and gastric juice towards the pushing stage, shivering uncontrollable at the pushing stage plus high fever and nausea. The high fever is due to epidural (maybe too much dosage). My shivering uncontrollably came during my contractions even without epidural as i have low pain threshold and my body cannot tahan the pain. Then later at pushing part also shiver uncontrollable but is due to epidural.
11.30pm - i was pushing to normal ward after resting awhile in the labour ward. Whole night cannot sleep well as the pain is too great despite the pain killers. My anus piles give me a lot of pain cos whole bottom swollen. The next day - when i walk down the bed to toilet, it was so dizzy and my feet is very weak. It was only 24 hrs after delivery, i.e. 9pm tat i can walk without dizzy. I was still on drip until noon and gynae ask nurse to check on my BP very often to ensure i am ok. Overall, i will say epidural is still needed cos the severe pain from contractions sap away my energy and there won't be strength to push anyway. Towards the pushing part, i can feel the sensation and everything so is able to push. The only problem is my dilation is too slow despite epidural and i starved from 9am ( i was permitted some porridge then) to 11pm so no energy.
8am - i ask nurse to check my cervix and still only 2cm dilated. I can't tong the pain and have to use the breathing method to relieve pain but the backache is very very horrible. Nurse see me in so big pain ask me to get epidural if not i am not last to pushing stage. I succumb to epidural (actually wanted to wait until 3cm dilation) and request even though gynae still haven't reach and check on me.
