foreverfriends,
i will say i have an ultra short labour, reached kkh at ard 1030am and gave birth to Javier at 1104 liao.. think i ren too much at home liao cos at home, my contraction is already up to stage where it is abt 3 mins interval and i already have the urge to push. the journey there is also really unbearable.. and once there, already 8cm dilated liao.. so just push and deliver. more to come in jan 06 thread.

EDD2Jan,
Were you watching an interesting show at home that you didn't realise contractions had started ? The journey to the hospital must have been hellish.

bulma,
did u read eed2jan's birth story? really short labor!
edd2jan,

Hi edd2jan,
what preparations did you do to have such a short labor? I salute to you, you can tahan the pain that long.
Hi Ladies,
I'm not feeling well these past few days, it's like I'm carrying a heavy sack whenever I stand or walk. But at the same time I also can't sit too long. If I lie down, I have difficulty breathing. I feel lethargic almost the whole day.
Do you have the same feelings? I will only visit my doc in 2 weeks time, but it will be good if i hear some tips from you. Thanks and happy new year

actually i din do any preparations to have a short labour. i think in our Jan 06 MTB thread, there are a few mums also have short labour. think we are just stubborn and din believe we are in labour and until last min no choice so cannot use epi so just ren and push all the way. hmm think the breathing ex from the antenatal class does help abit. rem 'pant pant blow'
rachel,
my stay at kkh was short also. been warded ard 1+pm on 28 dec (date of javier delivery) and discharge the next day ard 1+/2 after the lunch. i took the 4 bedded ward (B1) and HB stayed until ard 2+am before a 'nasty' nurse came with my Javier for breast feed and said he cant stay over. but other nurses just close one eye tho. anyway i find that he is v uncomfortable sitting on the armchair trying to sleep so i ask him to go also. as for bill, not known yet as they will send to us later.. but heard might have a rebate from the $1100 deposit cos short stay only.
i think for me giving birth is ok BUT the taking part is worst. this make me rethink of wanting another bb.

Hi Marcia,
I did feel very lethargic towards the 37th week of my pregnancy too. Can't walk too long as the baby was resting on my bladder and feeling just like you now, carrying a heavy sack. When you lie down, rest on your left & not on the back as it interferes with the breathing. Also try to put a pillow or cushion between your legs.
edd2jan,
You just delivered your 1st baby. I don't think it's a good idea to think of Number 2 yet. I was just joking with you earlier. The first 2 years are the toughest with night feeds, jabs, feeding and change in lifestyle. Enjoy your new role as mummy now, but don't forget about daddy.
Happy New Year pregnant and new mummies.

Kowtow to u. Your threashold for pain is high. U can tong n took breakfast when your contraction is 5 min apart, waited for hubby to park car n walked to labor ward. When my contraction wz 5 min apart, I wz getting ready to go KKH. Upon reaching KKH, my hubby juz stopped n left his car @ drop off pt n wheeled me to labor ward.
Do u stay near KKH? I presumed there wz no traffic jam

Bulma,
My pain threshold also very low. Menstrual cramps can still tahan, with Panadol. But labour pain cannot don't have epidural. My gf gave birth to 3 kids WITHOUT epidural. I really salute her !!!
edd2jan,
How's your Javier ? Weather is very cold of late. Take good care of yourself and make sure you keep warm

SY,
B4 my maid came, we were clean. I am particular with cleanliness and hygiene in the house. But cannot have too high expectations because a maid is also human and there is a lot of nitty gritty work in the flat to do. As long as the floor does not have too much dust/hair and not sticky, I am ok. I think you have to tell your hubby that the maid only has 2 hands and with a newborn around, she will be VERY busy.

Hi SY and Bulma,
I also feel the same. I'm very emotional, moody and feel lethargic most of the day. Last night, I feel some contractions and I panic. My doc told me to take some panadol to take away the pain but if doesn't go away, go straight to hospital. I'm very scared as I'm only 34+ weeks.Good thing after Panadol, pain went away. Now I'm back to work but taking it very easy.
My baby weighs 2.5kg at 34weeks.My next visit is after 2 weeks.Really scared...

Hi Marcia,
Take it easy. As for pain killers, try to abstain from medication as much as possible. I remembered how I had flu bug and was given antibiotics which is safe for pregnancy, asked the doctor so many times whether it is VERY VERY VERY SAFE.

You are at week 36 now. After bb reaches 3rd trimester, some grow exceptionally fast while others slow down like mine.

Since she is growing well, good lah. Don't worry too much lah. You can't tell bb to slow down.

We want to treat the maids as humane as possible, but don't spoil them. If there is something she is not right, correct her nicely. Don't keep quiet and accept it or she won't be happy when you correct her down the road.

Hi SY and Janet,
My doc told me it's safe to take Panadol for the pain. So far, this is my first time to take panadol since 2nd trimester. My contraction is not at the lower abdomen, it's the upper part. So doc said it can't be the labor contractions, that's why he gave me Panadol.
Hi Bulma,
I join the Feb06 MTB thread, ur right they are funny. My EDD is 10-Feb and I'm delivering my baby in KKH. But since I'm having this pain in the upper abdomen, my doc said it's just a matter of time that it will go lower. So wait and c...

i still think the delivery of javier is ok compared to taking care of him. come to think abt it again i think right now i feel more painful cos i have a longer way to go...
bulma,
i tried to go on TBF but its really not easy cos Javier is always crying for more milk. after i direct fed him, he can only sleep for like one 0r 2 hrs max 3 hrs so it really tiring to feed him sometimes esp at night.
sy,
yes i did hear may have rebate if they din need to use the full $1100 so i will wait for my bill and see. will update u guys.
just to let you know. KKH does provide 2 x 10pcs maternity pads and 7 pcs disposable panties. and their pad are no longer tie string ones but no wings. after delivery, they will let you wear that but at ur ward, they will give u 2 pks as mentioned above. i din use theirs at all cos i think i prefer mine with wings.

Having a maid is to give us more time to bond with the family. Of course my hubby & I try to help her too since she only has 1 pair of hands. Now that my girl is bigger, it's a little easier than before. The impt thing is your hubby cannot expect too much from the maid.

Bulma/edd2jan,
My girl drank only expressed milk for 10 months. Nature is wonderful, I always managed to express out the right amt for her every 3 hours. After that, she would sleep well and won't cry for milk. This way, the new mother also gets to rest instead of feeding all the time.
