silver i've been feeling very thirsty since i 1st knew i was preg.. in fact i will wake up at nite to drink water then shun bian go toilet, not the other way round..
when i lunch outside i seldom order drinks, will go back office then gulp down 1 bottle of water. if i cant hold the thirst, i'll get fruit juice also, or yoghurt drinks or soya bean milk..

hahah I like what fuzzybear said. To each her own lar. If you want to try for natural without epi, then try lor. If you want painless like me, then straightaway epi, I was sleeping and watching TV after that while waiting for dilation. so relaxing. haha. Most importantly, whatever choice you choose and whatever the actual outcome on the day of delivery, don't blame yourself, even if you end up in emergency c-sec. The most important thing is that baby is healthy and well. One or two years down the road, no one is going to ask you how you delivered your child. All they see is how cute and well brought up your child is. period. In my previous forum, there was one mommy who kept on bragging about how she gave birth to her 4kg baby naturally without any painkiller. but hey, you don't get a prize for achieving this. maybe just some praises from your friends and relatives only. Also, you have to see if you are a petite mommy or bigger built. If you are petite, most likely your baby at birth will be small (3kg or less), or else you will have difficulties giving birth naturally. 4kg baby can only be given birth naturally if the mommy is of bigger built. So conclusion is, do not compare and to each her own.

Hi mummies, this is my first posting in this thread
This is my #2, EDD 5 Nov 2013.
I agree with not insisting too much on a certain birth plan, it really depends on what happens on the actual day. Like for my #1, I was quite sure I can go natural w/o epi as I have a high pain threshold, end up had to go for emergency c-sec at 35 wks as baby had complications. So you never know... anyway, no regrets, as long as baby comes out healthy
Regarding full bladder for scan, I did my NT scan at KKH (I opt out of the blood test) and standard procedure at KKH is they will ask you to empty your bladder on registration. I think I waited about 45min before my turn (I reached 30min earlier than my appt time). Usually the amniotic fluid at 13 wks is sufficient to get a clear scan, so they don't need the bladder to be full...

Ya, nobody will rem u caved into getting an epidural or had to do a c-sec in the end. don't over think too much. what's more impt is that both u and ur baby is safe. Recently a close fren of one of my previous thread mate was due to deliver her baby. yet something went wrong during labour. her gynae immed did an emergency c-sec but could not save the baby. can u imagine the pain? she was 39+ wks. She already has 2 boys and wanted a gal very very badly. this baby was a gal. she ended going home with nothing. completely heartbroken. many of us who heard the story cried along with her.
Why are u guys limiting ur drinks? I drink everything. hahaha..
Winkle, yes pls do ur Kegel exercise. i didn't have prob with incontinence both before and after delivery but i have frens who will leak urine when they sneeze.
Ankh, some guys are just traumatized by the whole birthing process. others are not.. haha.. but doc prefers that ur hb don't get a shock of his life and faint.
then he would have another patient to look after!

winkle, your male colleague is so irritating! first of all, he has never experience labour pain before and he is in no position to comment. I hate this type of guys! I pity his wife. seriously. ha
fuzzybear, oh no......so sad....this is worse than a miscarriage. It's like carrying the baby for 9 months already but go home empty handed.

SN, phwah, for a moment I thought the mummy didn't even use laughing gas. To some extent I think it's true mummies size correlate to bb size. But shape of pelvic bone and/or birth canal also affects ease of delivery. This fact learnt at Mrs Wong's class, can't remember exact details. I think my mum good example lor. She gave birth to my brother naturally. She is 1.59-1.6m tall, very slim hands and feet but got, ah, hips type. My bro was 4.2kg at birth! Hm, maybe his head small at birth? Kekeke.
Winkle, I think ah, by the time a woman gives birth to the nth baby, no time for painkillers. We now give birth to bb no. 1/2/3, need a bit more help la. Our bodies not so pro at birthing yet.

fuzzybear, such a sad case...
Guys will be guys, like to talk big. Only the mummy knows whether she needs the epi!
SN, can help me fill in? I'm FTWM, with Dr Karuna. Thanks!
Difference about having #2 is everyone assumes I already know so not much ppl try to tell me what to do and what not lol...

Actually whether epi or not, also depends on situations ma..
Like one of my gf had her waterbag leaking at home.. So by the time she reached hospital & etc, everything happened too fast for her to even ask for epi although she was in pain.
But fortunately it was a very fast labour and her baby was pushed out in 10 mins.
I also had friends who read too much about the side effects of epi, they were convinced it would harm the baby so firmly refused to take.
Some wanted to save costs, so bear with the pain.
For my case, my baby was induced. So from the point my waterbag was burst by gynae till delivery, it took like 8 hrs later for me to fully dilate.
1 hr after waterbag burst i started to have bad contractions. How to tolerate until 10cm? If i were to have a bad experience during labour, i would nv want to have another child lor.
People did tell me before that having epi is like not fully experiencing the actual labour process, but to me, who cares right.
It's just (in my opinion) silly to make yourself suffer when u can have a choice.

For my case, my baby was induced. So from the point my waterbag was burst by gynae till delivery, it took like 8 hrs later for me to fully dilate.
1 hr after waterbag burst i started to have bad contractions. How to tolerate until 10cm? If i were to have a bad experience during labour, i would nv want to have another child lor.
People did tell me before that having epi is like not fully experiencing the actual labour process, but to me, who cares right.
It's just (in my opinion) silly to make yourself suffer when u can have a choice.

Yup, it is a very sad case. i rem hearing abt it and crying.. a couple of my frens later texted me abt it too and we were all teary. went home to hug my 2 boys. so don't over think the labour process now. bottom line is that both u and ur baby's lives are safe.
Winkle, urgh i hate guys like that! annoyingly, i find guys whine a lot more when they are sick compared to gals. a bit of cold only grumble and grumble. say cannot breathe etc. i don't think our hbs have the right to decide for us if we shd opt for epi or not. Only we, the one giving birth, have the right to decide (and your doc of cos). I did have some moms that said they wanted to save money and what not. in the end they cannot tahan. seriously u cannot imagine the pain. even if u had delivered one before, u kinda forget the pain until u experience it again. haha..
Mummychua, oh dear. hope its just MS and not some tummy bug.. wait, i think it shd be reverse.. a temporary tummy bug and not MS!! haha..

Re: Epi/no epi/natural/c-sect:
Actually it all boils dwn to individual preference. Some wanna try without epi to see how far they can tahan the pain while some knows right from the start that they do not wan to go thro too much pain/cant tahan the pain. I dun think anyone is trying to compare or say whose delivery is better than whose or whose. Everyone is just sharing their views/opinions/ideals situation they wan to be in.
Kayliz,
And i agree sometimes situation does not allows one to take epi. Example i went in for my #2 dilated at 4cm and within 15mins i already felt the urge to push and nurses were shocked when they checked that i was already 10cm dilated. In this case, even if i super scare of pain and i wanna use epi is also not possible.
Every pregnancy and kid is diff from the previous. Even a mother of 2 or 3 kids will learn new things That she may not come across previously. Hence, support grps are impt for sharing info and ideas. Just learn to 1 ear in n 1 ear out if some comments do no applies or do not goes well with u. Most impt is to be happy with our own decisions.

kayliz (kayliz) >I fully agreed with you, I don't need to torture myself, to experience the birth process. my #1 was late for 9 days, gynae induced, contraction came, and I asked for epi, I slept through, until it dilated 10cm ready for birth, took me about 7 hours from time of induction, if no epi, I think it will take forever. #2 contraction came at 5am, 7am went t hospital, cannot tahan contraction, asked for epi, but gynae told me actually no need, because baby came in less than 2 hours. I think if not because of epi, which makes me relaxed during the process, I don't think I will want to have more than 1 child.

yah, thirdtimemum and kayliz, my friends (with no kids) were all surprised when i told them the delivery process was actually very pleasant and not like what was shown on TV. I even told them i don't mind having another baby. haha. If I had been traumatised, I would have stopped at one. People are all scared of giving birth because of all the horror stories they hear and watch on TV.

Morning mommies!
Any of u experiencing round ligament pains yet? it has been bugging me for the past 2 days.. sigh..
Piggie, yeah kinda early to be buying stuff though i think u will be abt 4.5 mths preg by then? u need the following basic stuff:
1) cot
2) diapers (can buy a few packs to stand by)
3) diaper cream
4) clothes (separate top and bottom for the first mth is better cos baby's head is too floppy to thread through rompers)
5) steriliser
6) milk bottles and teats (if u wanna tbf, u can skip this initially because latching babies might have teat preference)
7) pump
8) Swaddle
9) mittens and booties
10) wet wipes
11) baby bath
12) moisturising lotion
13) changing mat
14) nail clipper (though ordinary ones also can be used)
15) clean cotton balls or pads for cleaning baby's eyes
16) hankies like tonnes of them!
17) tongue cleaner from Nuk
18) rocker or a bouncer for them to sit on if they are not slping
19) some basic toys
That's all i can think of now.. i m sure the rest of the moms can add more.

23) carrier (i don't have this because i prefer stroller)
24) car seat (a must if u drive)
I forgot the tub! wahahaha..
There's one luxury that i recommend: a swing (NOT yao lan). swing is safer for baby's neck and also sits baby semi upright so it is gd for baby with reflux.
abt 12 wks old u can get a Bumbo seat.

looking to buy a good n lasting one, but cant afford exp brands (like quinny n maclaren). am wondering btw capella and combi, which is more recommended? or any other brands that i can also consider? haven't go physically look at strollers but reading on the internet i get a little confused already by all their specs.. haha..
RE: pump
i'm worried that if i buy pump early but end up no milk, then it will be a waste, esp since pumps are not exactly cheap also. but if wait until bb is born then buy is abit too late also rite?
