my ger is 8 mths next monday... so her gap with didi will be 11 mths... can do the full mth and her 1st bdae toghether.. hahaha
my edd is currently on 20 aug... last yr my ger's was 20th sept.. lol...
ahnetsan:
u never know de lar.. maybe u can dun feel the pain ley? lol.. in fact the pain was so intensive, i did not even know he was cutting me (the epitosomy) - i felt something cutting me up but no pain lar! or perhaps the contractions pain n the pressure of bb head forcing itself down was much more compared to the pain from cutting?
when my ger was pulled out, i can really feel the force of the bb being taken out lor.. was not painful at all.. in fact it was a relief coz all the pressure on the pelvic area was all gone the moment she was pulled out...
then the heartwarming part was when they wipe the blood off bb and place bb on ur chest... then u can say hi and see ur lil one for the very first time... from that moment, watever pain was worth it. then Dr ang will ask ur hb to cut the umbilical cord...(at this pt, if u have opted to collect cord blood, he will help u do the collection)... then hb will follow nurse out to weight bb... then Dr ang will start to pull on the remaining cord and get the placenta out.. as normal procedure, he will show u the placenta..(if u are collecting the placenta, pls let him know too)...after he shows u the placenta, he will start to stitch u up.
he inject some painkillers ard the area and proceed to do the stitching... i was able to see him doing the stitches.. n while he was stitching, he was talking to me.. hahaha but my eyes were on his hands..
the pain from healing of the stitches is only when i use the antiseptic lotion to clean after i pee/poo each time.. but still bearable... otherwise, it is really okay.
maybe the 1st 2 days is abit pain... during ur stay in hospital, he will check on the stitches and also do a VE to make sure evthing is fine.. 1 week after delivery, u go back to see him so he can scan ur womb to make sure evthing is fine and that uterus is shrinking.
so now u must psycho urself into thinking that it is not pain not pain not pain... hahaha... hb scolded me for squeezing his hand v v tightly but i told him it was pain lor...
hope i have not been too graphical in my description.. coz i know some people may be put off by them.. hehehe
MLai:
dun worry too much... just relax and breathe normally... the nurse will help u along too... i think my screaming from the pain was quite loud n i kept telling my hb that i will not want another bb.. but here i am preggy again.. lol... just remember at the end of the contractions, you will hold ur lil one in ur arms... n nothing beats that feeling.
kaka.. lemme attach a recent pic of my naughty ger to spur u on... hehehe
