| No! I haven’t heard her. I have just come back after I stay out of circulation for awhile. It is good that anyone like you has give importance to the presence or person like Lee Ka. I know you are closed to her. And I read over the above comments made here Lee Ka was having a delivery of a baby girl through Caesarian operation. You’re all hoping that she’ll be doing well, including myself. As soon as she gets well and fully recovered from a delivering a child, Lee Ka would be backa and will tell us her experience. Let’s wait.

| @peachpurple Do you find 3.5 kg big for a newborn? My smallest was 3.18 kg; my largest was 4 kg. Here, that’s considered fairly average. | |
| I would say that is average in the U.S. also. My first one was 8 lbs 13 oz or roughly 3.6 kg. It sounded big but she was so skinny. She was 21 inches long though so that is why she weighed so much. My son was 7 lbs 13 oz or about 3.2 kg but he was 2 weeks early since I had high blood pressure. He was so tiny I had to buy newborn clothes for him since the 0-3 month closes were way too big. He was only 19.5 in long. He is still stubby. 🙂 @ruby3881 You had a nice sized baby at 4 kg. That is what I was when I was born as well. My sisters were a little bit smaller. | |
| @morgoodie Actually, our babies were the same size! 8 lb 13 oz comes out at just about 4 kg. My daughter was also long, so she didn’t seem big at all. | |
| @peachpurple My baby boy was 3.09kg when he was born. I expected him to be heavier actually, as during the pregnancy, I seemed to have the biggest tummy among my three. Perhaps he was a week earlier, so he was actually the lightest. 😀 My baby boy is now sleeping quite well day and night, except when he needs to be fed. That’s why I am actually quite free now. Besides feeding him, I can actually spend time to do other things. 😀 Those days when I stayed in the hospital were not really boring, but I was not used to be so “free”. When my baby was sleeping, I just tried to sleep, but after I have slept too much, I couldn’t really sleep. It seems like my time has always been occupied, and suddenly I was too free and it was strange to me. I was staying in single room, so did not really chat with others, and I didn’t turn on the TV at all. My little girl always sings “Rock a bye baby on the tree top” to the baby brother. 😀 | |
| @kaka135 Just try to rest and relax, and do not stress yourself too much. Knowing you, you will want to get back full swing into writing, and commenting. That is not good. Once you get started, you will continue on and on and forget about the time. | |
| @Lee ka, We are all happy to hear about you and your baby fine.We are friends there in Blog J so our friendship already rooted from there .All people here are the same people in the other site and we have treasure our friendship. | |
| @ruby3881 @morgoodie I think it depends on the mothers’ size and may also on the races too. My first child was 3.3kg and second was 3.4kg, and these were considered quite big when my friends heard about them.
I have heard many newborns from my friends were around 2.6kg – 3kg. Of course, I have also heard some newborns were around 3.6 – 3.8kg, but those are considered really big and not so common. I always wonder how or what people in US or other cultures do after they gave birth. For Chinese, we need to stay at home for at least one month, which we call it “confinement period” and there are quite a lot of things we can’t do. I wonder if others need to do this, or just do what they normally do, but of course have more rest perhaps. I actually do not really follow those rules, but try to rest more especially when I am tired. I also try to spend more time with my two elder children. | |
| @scheng1 Yes, you are right. I am not sure if I have already used to sleep lesser hours per day, I feel like I am sleeping too much now, and sometimes I couldn’t easily fall asleep as usual. I already started to plan what to do. I might not spend as much time on online work as previously, because I would want to spend more time on preparing for homeschooling, but for sure, I have allocated some time for online work too. 😀 I won’t stay online for too long, because now I actually have more energy to spend time with my elder children and also I will need to manage my time well for other tasks too. I will try to do things casually now and not with much pressure. I just don’t think I would enjoy sitting down there and doing nothing at all, I might end up couldn’t fall asleep easily at night. 😀 @lovern Yes, it seems like we know each other from other sites and here we gather together! 🙂 | |
| @Lee Ka When one is used to being busy as a bee it is kind of odd to be in a state of ‘freedom’ You will soon get back to your usual self but it should be gradual. Happy to see you back. | |
| @bestwriter Yes, I think that too. I am so used to be with my children, my house work and my freelance work when I am at home, suddenly I was so free when I was in the hospital, it’s just quite weird to me. I am getting enough rest as whenever I am feeding my baby, I am actually taking a rest. Moreover, as long as I sleep early at night, even though I need to wake up in the middle of the night, I still feel good. I still like to get back to my usual self, busy but contented! 😀 | |
| honestly, for Americans , new born babies weigh 3.6kg-3.8kg is considered normal because Americans are bigger built, heavier bones and bigger size than Asians. For Asians who are smaller petite size , a newborn baby that weighs 3.8kg is way too big and heavy, as if carrying a baby gorilla. My 1st child weighed 3.8kg, everyone-the nurses and doctor were surprised that a small size mom like me is able to give birth such a huge baby. I had checked out that my baby was big in size because I had diabetes when I was pregnant with her. I looked like carrying a big bass drum in my tummy. Bystanders were worried that my water bag might break anytime. My second child weighed 3.4kg, that is also a big baby for a boy. | |
| wah lucky you, stayed in a single room, must be VIP room. Didn’t watch TV, not boring at all and nobody to talk to? Air con must be very cold. Your baby boy weighs 3kg is consider normal, at least he is in average size. Most importantly is healthy baby boy. Does he resembles your hubby or you? Both my kids resembled their daddy at first glance. None of them look like me. Did you requested the nurse to let you breastfeed your baby or the nurse gave him to you automatically? When both my babies were born, I requested for the nurse to let me breastfeed them but they ignored my pleas. My baby first milk was bottled formula milk. Very sad indeed.

| @peachpurple It’s very sad when breastfeeding is not supported by the hospital staff! I gave birth to all of my children in a special maternity wing that emphasized birth in the mother’s own room instead of in an operating room turned into a delivery room. We had our babies by our sides at all times, unless the infant needed watching or the mother requested the baby be in the nursery overnight. All the nurses were trained to respect the mother’s wishes to breastfeed her baby, and I never had any troubles with this. But I did hear of others moms who were prevented from nursing, both at that hospital and elsewhere… | |
| you sure are lucky, to have your babies by your side In our country, new born babies are placed in a baby room where all new born are sleeping in a small “bowl” that resembles a crib. They sleep next to each other. So, if one baby cries, the rest cry all together because they are affected by the crying, can’t get to sleep. I don’t know why our hospitals do not encourage breastfeeding and baby sleeping next to mommy. I do admire the Americans who allowed this privilege. Hence, I had to take a peep at my baby from outside the baby room every now and then. Moms are not allowed into the baby room either. So sad
