I had a successful C-section on Sept. 15. My baby boy John weighed 6.99 pounds/3.18kg. It was very touching when my husband and I heard his first cry. I couldn't hold back my tears. :cry:
Baby is very cute. I can't help seeing him every hour. This morning I'll start breastfeeding. Hope everything goes well.
Yesterday was hard. I was really dizzy from the medicine. Today I feel much better.
juneyin, congrats!! I had exactly the same feeling and emotion as you when I gave birth of my son, thus I told you all that I couldnt help crying and had very big teardrops, it's a very memoriable and important moment in my life!!!!
咪落地, yes ah, i m doing my best to feed my son lah, try to follow the similar schedule as in the hospital, Baptist is really good!! Nurses there are very patient to help me in breastfeeding, i m also very impressed they have facility for daddy to join breastfeeding too, my husband joined every session when we were in hospital :lol:
Dear all,
My bb came to me on 10/9. \(^3^)/ . My husband & I have been very busy in taking care of her. We are so happy she comes to us....life becomes so special now.
My experience:
I "kin hung" on 9 Sept and I ran to the hospital but the doctor said I did not feel pain in a regular pattern so I might need to went back home the next day. However, I had regular pain from 11:00pm to 4:00am (the next day). Then, I was sent to the labour ward. Of course, my husband was with me. It was so impotyant to get his support. I only smell the pain-killing gas ("siu hei") to relief my pain. The experience liked hell. My water sac broke at 6:50am and my baby came to me at 8:48am (10/9). I am so happy that the whole process was short (I regard) and smooth. You know, my husband and I were so touching when we first saw our little thing (still will cord)...we both cried.
We got our of the hospital on 12/9 but the little thing turned yellow and she had to go back to the hospital for phototherapy the next day. We go back and forth the hospital eveyday this week... really exhausted. Touch wood...she could go back home with us now. Now, I am breast-feeding her. It's not easy to breast-feed. I did not have milk for the first few days anf I believed my little thing has been starving for a few days and she got dehydrated...so she turned yellow. You know, it hard to follow different theory from the nurse. The nurse push you to breast-feed the kid, but you know I have not milk and I have been totally exhausted for the labouring thing. Then, they didn't recomend you to feed the kid with formula....so I follow....then the kid turned yellow. When I went to consult the children doctor, the doctor said you could still breast-feed the kid (just for stimulation) and then feed the kid with formula. So,....we were so confused. I am so lucky that my mother-in-law taking very good care of me. She makes the "papaya fish" soup for me and I took some rest (feed the kid with formula instead foe a few days)....then...it's like magic...I have milk now.
