I also think my body is a wreck now, what with the scars and the belly and the sore boobs, but hey it will get better! It's too soon to bounce back to pre-preg body, give it time and stay cheerful! :)

Are you using a tummy binder? It really helps.

I recall a couple of mummies asking about the take-home gifts that Mt E Novena gives upon discharge, but I forgot who :D Apart from the POSB gift set that is given at every hospital, we went home with a rather unattractive diaper bag, a rather unattractive nursing shawl, a plain baby onesie and...

i just delivered yesterday w epidural csect too. Was shivering uncontrollably from the medication n partly cos it was cold. It helped that the husband had very warm hands and held my hands while distracting me with chatter. Whole process over in 35 min and it wasn't too bad! epidural insertion...

I'll only know the results of my GBS swab this Friday, but I was assured this is really common (about 1 in 3 women). As you mentioned, GBS positive mummies will be given antibiotics during labour to prevent baby from infected, and I understand from my gynae, even if baby is infected it usually...

I know right, I wanted to sun some stuff today but it was so overcast. Lol I've never been like a super neat person. But lately (especially today) I feel an obsessive need for the house to be spotless and completely germ-free in order for it to qualify as baby-ready. Everything must be...

All the best to all those giving birth soon :) I woke up restless today and the nesting has kicked in full force - kept on cleaning the house even though I know I should be taking it easy. Now ended up with a super achy back and pelvic pains because I was bending here and there sigh. Brought...

I attended the 6-sessions class, sounds like all the key topics were covered in the intensive class based on xyun08's reply. For the 6-sessions program, we repeated the exercises and massage tips at the start of every lesson, and probably there was a bit more hands-on time. If you have already...

Congrats Lynnie!

I see, thanks!

Is there a difference which bank is used for CDA?

I found this interesting read on http://pregnancy.thefuntimesguide.com/2008/09/baby_position_in_womb.php Here’s how you can determine the position of your unborn baby yourself: If your belly and navel pop out and/or you feel kicks under your ribs, chances are your baby is in the anterior...

Oh dear... perhaps she might want to do some pelvic floor exercises if she hasn't already done so, it does help a bit.

Does your colleague suffer pelvic pain when she tries to stand up or when she walks? I used to have that as well but after picking up some exercises from yoga it helped. Now it only hurts when I'm changing position in bed.

I'm the same except mine is super pain haha, have to turn verrrrryyy slowly, and have to do like a 3-point turn. And because I am trying to keep my legs elevated due to the fluid retention, so when I shift my legs the pain at the pelvis wakes me right up and keeps me awake. But baby haven't drop...
