Wondering if anyone has setup a group in Facebook for Jul 2016 mummies?
Haha, don't waste the bit of epidural left hor? But how abt side effects after? Puking or shivering? That seems so scary.@tuna I was so scared and told them not to lower.... but after some time they lowered and I still didn't feel a thing.
I didn't feel a single thing during childbirth!!! Hahaha... my gynae said since I'm so scared of pain, she allowed me to finish my epidural as there was a bit left.
Only pain I felt throughout the whole process was my initial contractions which was like menstrual cramps.
I thought I had a good birth as my labour was only about 6 hrs for a first timer. So I'm hoping I can be 2nd time heng heng again.... more unlikely I guess. :/
My 1st one c-sect awake. Hubby can go in togather. Understand that baby will not take in the med when carry out both mummy n baby is awake. Stay in recovery room shorter. Cons: can hear doc voice n the sound. Can feel the gas the pump to ballon your tummy n abit movement. No pain. My Gynea keep talking to me during the procedure. Under GA baby will be drowsy too.Asking for C section mama,
Who has done it awake? I did it under GA last time. Gynea is persuading me to do it awake instead. I worry about being awake n listening to all the "operation sounds n discussion". I never liked dentist experience with all the cling clang dang.
Can share your experience? Pros n cons?

Hello,
Unless doctor advise you to go for GA, i will encourage you to be awake while the C section is being perform. GA carry a tiny tiny risk.

Gynea is encouraging awake. But I'm having cold feet to hear everything.
Hello mummy, understand what you mean. How about telling yourself you wanna to hear your baby first cry. That might give you of incentive to follow doctor advice. Thinking out of the box, maybe you can ask doctor whether you can wear ear plug while he operate on you, then ask your hubby to help you to remove the ear plug just before the baby is scoop out from your tummy.
Jia you.
Are you ok with dentistry procedure type?
I'm trying to access if I might have panic attack...
It's a great idea! Appeals to my left brain.
My right brain is freezing
How about feeling the tugging and all?
My anesthetist kept talking to me and asking me questions that I didnt even realised I was being cut up. I think the epidural was more frightening than the csec. The csec happened so fast that before I knew, the first baby was on me. Then they continued with second baby. I only remembered seeing the second baby and my hubby following the babies out. Then I fell asleep.....Are you ok with dentistry procedure type?

Hello,
I am sure you will do just fine. Whichever way you finally decide to take. It is going to be a sui sui uneventful delivery.
Honestly speaking, the feeling of entering an operating theatre is really not good and frightening for me too. mine was an emergency C Section and since i was already on epidural, i think what they did was they top up the epidural juice to prolong the effect then do the c section while i am totally awake. Everything was in a daze to me, i am totally exhausted after a prolong period due to trying to go the natural way. Hearing the baby cry was magical moment to me. It is like the signal that it is finally over. But in reality, it is really only the beginning. ha ha
I was distracted by the conversation. I suppose if you are not distraction by something you will definitely be aware of the sound. Dont remember I feel any tugging. Numb.So you can't hear any sound or feel any tugging?
I think I will ask my gynea if I can play my music. Cos when I did MRIs last time, they played my music, 1h passed fast. If gynea is ok... I will invest in a good headphone to muff out external sound. My hubby can chat with the gynea instead.I was distracted by the conversation.

I have palpitations and chest muscle tightness. Too heavy now.I'm starting to get mild heartburn now at 29weeks. Can't eat too much. And my immune system is dropping; having flu and Im one who hardly fall sick (touchwood).
Rant aside, yeah jia you everyone! Oh who is going to the prudential baby seminar talk tmr? I'm going because my gynae is giving his talk and he was selling me the tickets lol. Support him lor.
If 2nd only 1h, your 3rd hv time to go hospital?Wow suddenly this thread becomes active again.. Guess everyone is excited when talking abt childbirth. While some dread it, some looking forward to it. For me, I'm looking forward to it.. But of coz not so looking forward to sleepless night. Now at least I still have peaceful nights! Looking at the bright side of it, I will have 4 months of leave without any work stress!
For my previous 2 birth, as my bb are small it's still quite easy.. Normally they says it takes abt half the time to deliver the 2nd one. If u took 6 hrs to deliver the first one, the ordeal will end 3 hrs for the 2nd one. I would say my 2nd one is really very fast. From the time the water bag burst till my bb is out is only less than 1 hr. Hopefully this one also easy birth..
Keeping my finger crossed
@tenq: I've gotten my nursing bra from qoo10.. Less than $10 buck per pcs n I tot it's quite a gd buy
Don't worry too much. Everything happens very fast. At least with epi csec you can see your baby once he or she is out and your recovery is faster as compared to GA.I think I will ask my gynea if I can play my music. Cos when I did MRIs last time, they played my music, 1h passed fast. If gynea is ok... I will invest in a good headphone to muff out external sound. My hubby can chat with the gynea instead.
If halfway I panic, can't change mind about the GA anymore right?
Mrs Ler, I had epidural csec for my 1st born. Can't feel the cutting at all. Only feel a bit of discomfort when they try to push the bb out after cutting me up. There were 3 pairs of hands on my body pushing the baby out and I felt like suffocating but it was matter of seconds.
In fact, I'm opposite of you. I'm thinking of doing GA csec so that I can get ligated at the same time. But I worried about sleeping and not being able to wake up again. Paranoid. I rather know what's going on and that everything is fine a not.
btw, anyone has recommendations for online websites to get nursing bras?

I m seeing my doc tomorrow . Think will ask him any chance of natural...although in the beginning he mentioned c section coz of my blood pressure.My gynae already asked me if I wanna try natural maybe around week 24? Is that too early to be asked? Anyway I will ask him again this Friday. I'm opting natural for sure.
