My Confinment at my Mum's place





Down to my memory lane... 9months ago...

16th Novemember 2006 (Thursday)
After spending 3 nites at Mt ALvernia, finally going home. Actually I was feeling quite nervous too. At Mt Alvernia, there are dedicated nurses to take care of me and baby Rayden, at home, only myself and my parents, they are not very pro with infant handling after all.. 20 over years never take care of baby... But to be able to go home and with my parents, my heart does feel at ease.. hehee...

Hubby fetched me n rayden ard 11am...Baby Rayden time to go home!! I am going to fulfill my role as a mummy independently from today onwards..

Reached Home...
Mum's place filled with baby stuff.. Hee.... SO far so good, baby rayden keep sleeping.. But, since aft hospital, he din poo / urine much...quite worrying..
Around day 2 at the home, he start to cry often..unlike in hospital keep slpg...
He was alil bit warm, we started to get panic...FInally decided to bring him to PD.
PD checked, slight fever, told him tat rayden din poo yet.. He said, could be my milk supply havnt kick in... suggested to gv him glucose first....
At around day 5, my milk finally kicks in, i felt the engorgement, rather painful and sored though, but at least i know i can feed rayden well n full now..Yippy!
SO days goes by, i latched my rayden, during engorgement, then i'll pump out.. wow, lotsa of milk..hehee..
Rayden gettg grouchier and keep crying though fed/changed. Alot of the folks said must be him unable to differentiate days and nites.. True engf, he slp long and quite well during the days, but nites time..Oh Gosh!!! .. nitemares for me... so tiring... and my stitches stil hurt...and inadequate slp.. Poor me...
Hubby and my parents have been very supportive and helped me so much...
I suffered very mild postnatal blues, i guessed tis is pretty normal. Coz when i see Rayden keep crying, unable to pacify him, i cried along w him, coz felt so helpless n useless as a mum.And when i was alone w Rayden , i felt so afraid, i wish he could juz slp and oni wakes when my folks back home.
Taking care of bby is really tough.. I'm so glad, i overcomed it.. and thanks to my darling Hubby, he did alot for me n baby.. and my parents for their unconditioned help and support.. and my MIL as well..rushed down all the way from her workplace to my mum's house to cook for me and see Rayden.
GOes w/o saying...got alil bit of conflicts between all during confinment, coz diff opinions mah.. not oni MIL, sometimes my parents as well..
Anyway... i guess that's abt it..din record down during then, now all based on my memory. Hee...
i think we moved back to our house on 2nd Dec... cant really recalled.. hee..
