the start of melodramatic postings #1..
expect some postings on something very close to my heart.. breastfeeding!!
i started work right after my 4w confinement after i labor wenn.. it's nothing to be "khe lian" (pitiful) about.. i was ready.. mentally, physically.. i think i'm quite the healthy type.. *SCARY*.. my mom said i recover so well so fast from labor that i shd give birth to more babies!! YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.. what type of statement is that?!?.. i guess something gets easier.. and not to mentioned i have more help this time round.. and also i'm more experience with breastfeeding.. but even that, the initial days wasn't a breeze.. but MUCH MUCH better than the time with ken.. so i do really enjoy my bfg journey this time round..
probably also i think my OB is champ in his stitching! despite him being a governmemt hospital OB.. hee.. i'm like moving ard in my first hour after labor with not much pain down there.. so that helps a lot!.. you do not want to be in pain down there and engorged up there with a dunno why can't be sooth wailing baby!
anyway, my posting today is not abt my labor story.. it's about this!
if you click on the graph, u shd be able to see a bigger image.. it's my EBM (expressed breast milk) output!!.. each week records the total of how much i pump from mon to fri.. although i do pump on sat and sun but i do not record those as it's erratic.. i pumped from week4 to week 58 with highest output yield of 129.5oz at week 6 (growth spurt?).. minimum is not chun (accurate) as some week i took leave here and there.. haha.. i must be really insane to do this!.. you see, i find little joy in my work.. and thus, i need to find my joy elsewhere.. so, might as well do something everyday on things i like!.. hee.. actually i don't really like pumping as well.. but it's something i can do to get off from something else i do not like.. complicated? *sigh*..
anyway.. as you see, it went downhill.. that shd be normal!.. one's breastmilk supply will go down.. it's natural.. do not be disheartened! I shall end this posting with a sms from my friend (lara) who gave me much encouragement time to time.. "Jia you! Pumping working moms unite."
