Jubilee, definitely using epidural! I took epidural for my first birth. Totally painless and I can relax and sleep while the cervix takes its time to open. My hubby said the machine which measures my contractions were shooting up sky high. Imagine if I hadn't taken the epidural, I might faint...

Last time I only drink coconut juice from week 36 onwards. Only drank 3-4 times and my baby is born coz he's born on week 38. I think this time, maybe I'll start this week which is week 35. Shd be ok too.

Juniorbee, must be careful of cleanliness when buying sugar cane drinks. I heard cats like to poo & pee near the sugar canes n if not washed properly, esp in market stalls n cat waste contents virus harmful to unborn baby.

LOL with so many ppl joining fb, I dun think ppl will come to this thread anymore. But some advertisings here are really pissing ppl off, especially the ones who post as mummies but obviously are advertisers. Very very obvious and easy to spot.

zhaqqqie, we didnt take newborn photography for our first baby but we went to Studio Play when our child is about 13 months and took baby and family pictures. We've got a free newborn photo package after signing up with Stemcord so I guess we'll give it a try this time round for second child...

Siti, my bb has already turned head down at 27 week check up. Some babies may turn later.

I've successfully weaned my older child off Breastmilk at 20 months old. Thanks to my hubby for his help. But as my tummy gets bigger, it's getting more difficult for me to take care of older child n I felt exhausted n sleepy easily too. Getting depressed easily nowadays. I pity my son n yet I...
