Lying on the back is bliss, but only for a few seconds cos the tummy area seems to pull/thug/cannot describe the feeling. It just feels brrr, sensitive.
Back pain? Mine is backache...
In fact the shoulders and back feel so achy. It could be the sleeping posture - cos we "force" our frame to sleep on the left side.If not for pregnancy, sleeping on the RIGHT side is better

hahaha...paranoid as in something red? But don't push means toxins will remain in the body and it would be worse for the bub and yourselfSo paranoid. Sometimes when pushing even mildly, more pee leak out instead before the shit. I'm keep checking as so paranoid
Maybe again, it's nature's way of "training" us to push. Labor is similar to severe tummyache (with backache) & constipation. You will just automatically spread your legs wide & push when the wave comes along. Sigh.
Aside, I know of one friend who actually pooped during labor. She was so damn pai say and to make things worse, the nurse (or midwife) gave her a black face.

OMG!!!!! u manually dug out that piece of shit??? For me I will just 'suck' it back first then I will leave the toilet cubicle feeling really unhappy. Thereafter I will try to drink a lot of warm water and somehow becoz it's already stuck at the custom, after a while I'll have the urge again then I cheong to the toilet.
Prune juice doesn't work for me at all. Infact, it made my constipation worst! So I guess it's really a trial & error to see what combination of fruits &/or vege will enable you to have a 'smooth journey' in the toilet!! haha
I'm either worried about pushing too hard and babies come out or the stupid piles will come out. Either way also jialat coz having piles is really no joke! I did request for suppository & ointment from Dr Tan HH to relieve the inflammation for my piles.

For avoidance of doubt, only AXA and AIA provides maternity insurance that covers IVF babies. And I was told by my agent that they cannot cross sell the products especially if it's ILP. Meaning, your uncle from Prudential might not be able to sell you the policy under AXA or AIA. Good in a way so you don't have to tell your uncle about it. So you can call both companies and meet up with the respective agents & see which one you're more comfortable with before you commit.
If bb born premature, don't have to wait till few years old. After 1 year old the insurance co. will access and of coz, during that 1 year period the bb has got no major issues, they will take the bb in. That's what happened to my nephew. He was born at 35 weeks but healthy. No need NICU but obviously, insurance co. don't want to risk & take him. Luckily throughout that 1 year he go no health issues though he got admitted to kkh for breathing issues when he's few months old. Turns out was he got nasal block!! Thereafter no other issues so the insurance co. took him in after he turned 1. So that was a valuable lesson learnt for us and explains why we bought the insurance for our babies & I'm glad we bought it especially now that we know our bb girl's heart condition is still unknown.

Talking about labour...I dreamt of Dr Tan HH last night and I was preparing to go into OT for c-sec! the dream felt so real lor!! Now think liao also scared now!
Just seeking for opinion. For elective c-sec, will u choose for full GA or 1/2 body?

Most of my friends chose 1/2 body cos they want to see the bb immediately rather than wait for the GA to wear off. Can take pix some more!

kk impose a compulsory nicu insurance for the babies. isit the same across private? if so, pregnancy insurance is more to cover the mum if anything bad happen right?Hi Babe,
From my understanding when I talk to the agent it covers the following:
-pregnancy complication as listed in their policy
- hospital care benefit for mama
- death of mama (touchwood)
- congenital illnesses of child
- hospital care benefit for bb
there is cap on the amount for mama and bb. I think 5 k each. (this is base on the 3 year plan).
IVF declaration is just a one time loading for the one time payment for the insurance.
Y dun you call the hotline and check it out. no obligations anyway.

For moms who are carrying twins/triplets, how will you be managing the care after your maternity ends?
I'm having problems engaging a confinement lady now because not many r willing to do multiples. I'm not really into getting a helper because of the many horror stories.
I think the first 3 mths may be manageable because I can look after them with help from my mother n in-laws. I cant be SAHM because my husband's salary alone will not be able to sustain the household. So my main concern is when I return to work cos my mom is still taking care of my 16 mths old baby niece and my in-laws r working, and I'm not too confident in placing the kids in infant care either
Anyone can share their plans for my reference?
Hi, you can try my previous CL. She had handle twins baby experience.
You may call her at 9069 9570.

Actually prune juice must start drinking early and is not effective as a last resort remedy. Doc said dun wait till custom congested or stuck liao then too late, drink also dun get immediate relief becoz the hard stuff already built up and block the entrance. So after manage to clear the blockage, can try loh hopefully prevent further blockage. Then again he also said by third trimester when bb press on the rectum will still cause constipation somehow maybe not because sai too hard but path not smooth.
Hi lufie, I think u only have the option of employing helper much as your resistance to it because definitely not easy for your mum to handle twins plus a 16months old . At least u can put maid at your mum place with the twins so there is a watching eye for u.. If not the only option is ifc but if touchwood unwell also need someone to take care at home .

Hi twins mummies, I would like to ask...
Do you & ur DH still DTD?
Do you & ur DH still DTD?
I will choose half body cos can experience the whole process and get to carry baby immediately. Also can take photo with babies in the OT. Hee.
Yup when I did lap I was given a liquid insert to clear Sai too

Do the deed... Haha
Not just cover mum but after bb come out can transfer ins to baby. Nicu ins is only cover nicu if bb need to go nicu
U can check with dr if ok to have sex but first tri is definitely no no. Last tri also cannot cos the sperm can trigger premature birth. Something like that. Also any stimulation to nipple also can cause premature birth. To play safe better not lah

Must have own initiative to clear your bowels first before you go for delivery la. Sure can one.

You know the first thing you think of after giving birth and after the nurse cleaned up the baby? Food!!! Cos you are not supposed to eat & drink at all (only wet the lips or maybe cheat abit). Reason being, in case you need c-sect and they need to give you LA or GA. I remember wolfing down 3 packets of cream crackers and 2 cups of hot milo after labor. The good thing about natural is, you can walk after the whole affair. IF possible, try to do natural.

Seems like it's not so common in SG yet; it also depends if your gynae is pro-water birth.
Though those who had done so mentioned that it's very natural cos no epidural, no laughing gas, just purely on your own breathing techniques and mediation, I feel uncomfy immersing in the water for hours ley
Towkay u attended?? Compulsory hor??
Anyone else attending??

No la, such things are not compulsory. I've attended one previously with KKH but I find that it's not so helpful. They say Thomson medical classes are better

Ooh you mean it's to be used with water-birth is it? I thought it's more to help concur fear etc? I was thinking of going for the course but no sure if it will be really helpful.

It's used hand-in-hand...
Maybe have just hynobirthing alone..should help I guess?
I dunno if as a 2nd-time mommy, will I be calmer and composed during labor?

it's not a must, but you can put it in your birth plan and let your doc know that you want to cut the cord.
I more kaishi type. My 1st born. Last scan big head n low water level. On that day of dr review immediately admitted to delivery.
My cousin one scan 1round of cord on her baby's neck. Go for csect come out is 2round. Lucky go for c sect.

Bahaha.. I hope I won't beat up my husband!
I heard some women will scream to the husband and say.. dont ever touch me again. Lol.
Yah.. ppl tell me that after all that, once you hold the baby in your arms, you'll forget all that pain.
