hello,

Congratulation to all the mummy here and Happy chinese new year to all.

It is nice to read all your experience and story here.

I am a father to be too.my wife EDD is end FEB.
we are excited and worry too cos my wife cant realy take the pain .i hope i can so relax like ivory hb eat n sleep.me too a 'kan cheong ' person.

Actually some of the info ur post is useful too .
 
professor
my hb also cant sleep when in delivery suite.. he walk here n there in e suite haha

i also cant tk pain so i request for epidural to b administer early when i 3cm dilate

dun worry... everything will just pass by without u remembering... my hb told me he alr cant really recall how that long nite pass by hehe
 
hi bulma,

thanks for yr adv...BTW is it really very bloody when the bb come out? worry i see too many blood n faint liow somemore doc need to rescue me first.hehe so 'pai sheh'.

Vonvon78,
i hv the same feeling with u cos now feel the bb kicking and moving is very happy and sweet for me,some more the respond from the bb when i play with him is very very great.
 
professor
i not sure bloody or not hehe cos no strength to see haha but my gyn did say i bleed a lot... but bb not bloody lk dat... dun worry ... wont faint lah... my hb scare of blood too also no faint hehe
 
Hi Ivory,

Congrats! You boi v cute... I love his hair.... esp the side burn...

U hb v cute....... can eat and sleep and snore so much while u in labour...
 
Amanda

I didn't know when it came exactly leh. Coz i didn't have engorgement. When I was in hospital, on the 3rd day, my gynae squeezed my breasts and have milk liao. Guess that's when it came.

I was breastfeeding him in the hospital liao in the day. At night, the nurses take over and give him FM via cup feeding. That's all lor. When at home, it's TBM.
 
professor,
As a hb, I strongly suggest that u follow yr wife into L room and share the excitement. She really needs yr encouragement. It is actually not an easy process as u thk it is. You cannot understand the pain we are gg through. Although there is epidural for pain relief, but there are side effects also. Right mummies?

If u r afraid of seeing bloody scene, u can stand beside yr wife and encourage her when she push out the bb. Just follow the momentum. When she is fully dilated and ready to push, just encourage her by asking her to take a deep breathe and push by the counting of 10. Then take a rest until the next contraction pain comes... I watch birth stories from Discovery Health and most of the mummies push this way.
 
hi babycutie,

Actually i hv decided to follow her in,only not decide where to stand ,either side or front.
I also watch discovery channel related program.can see the mummy screaming in pain while pushing.
 
Hi all
Thanks!

Here is the summary. (excuse me ah, broken english n in point form leh)
Morning, went to church, feel tummy super heavy. Need 2 hands to carry.
Afternoon, back home nap, feel 2times contraction. And PS twice. (Thinking: hmm, is this a sign of "shen"?)

Evening, more contraction. Jus ignore. Thinking maybe is a practice for delivery.

10pm, preparing CNY angbao, feel more n more contraction and cold sweat. Jus ignore!

12am, go to bed. Thinking even is real, will still need to have good sleep 1st mah, cos 1st BB usually take 24 hours or more mah... So tried to sleep.

Wake up every hour, due to contraction and pain.
And visit toilet to pee.

3am, cannot tahan, jus wake up and sit on the bed.
HB woke up and saw me sitting there. But I told him I am ok, and asked him to go back to sleep.
On and off, I go walk around in my house, to ease the pain, using yoga breathing method.

5am, buay tahan liao. And my HB happened to wake up. Saw me, struggling at living room. I was holding on to the cabinet and practise Cat pose + breathing. I was thinking to use EPi when reached hopsital.

I told HB, need to pack up bag. And to call gynae whether to go hospital?
Gyane confirmed can go now!

Reached ESH in 20 min.

Midwife told me there are 3 types of pain releases... then, she checked my dilation. She said, wow 7cm liao ah! Then dun need epi n tat injection at thigh liao!

So I go without both, left with laughing gas... I refuse to use, scare later cannot push. But was forced by the midwife to use. bo bian!

Gynae reached abt 7am plus. I was dilated to 10 cm liao, and ready to push.

And I started to push, feel like going to PS. (thinking, hmm, dunno whether my poo will also come out or not? Paiseh later if got poo... hehe!)

After 4-5 pushes, bb is OUT! At the same time, gynae cut.
(Point to note, dun me like me, paiseh to push. Jus push, n hold breath long push. I was like mei qi, stop n breath in, bb got suck in again, waste effort!)

Then, my gynae doing the sawing, chating about plactenta receipe... hehe!

Now, I still got a bit of pain from the cut. Dunno why? Got 1 small pile came out. Dunno is pile or cut pain?

N bb's photo, need to reduce file size 1st. Best of all! Hehe! (also, taken plactenta! Want to see? Hehe!)
Name of bb: Xie(4) Yu(3, meaning universe), Jie(2, meaning clean)
Wt: 2.775kg
born in wk 37.
Length: 52cm
 
Siewlng
congrats! Finally chosen a name ah ha ha :p u really matched eery name with ur bb face ah hee hee :p Nice name...hee hee
happy.gif
wow ur tahan gong very good hor hee hee :p so which means by the time u reached hospital no time to clear bowels liaoz....Mmmm.....

I think hubby's support in the delivery ward is extremely crucial cuz wife will feel she is going through it with the hubby and not standing alone. But of course if hubby really have those serious phobia of blood like Venus hubby then better not....

CNY in another 2 days times. Girls have fun ah!!!!
 
hey professor,

welcome to the group.. anyway, when is yr wife s edd?? you might wan to send details like wife s edd, gynae, bb gender and hospital that kind of thing to ivory so that she can put you into the list.. mine is also at the end of feb so seeing that one by one of us is popping makes me all excited..
 
bochap,
Yr boy quite long leh at 52cm and his name also sounds nice. What is his head circumference?

Wow!! U really can tolerate the pain till 7cm. It must be very painful right? But how come u still thk this is a practice for delivery? Usually such pain means real contraction liao woh.

But really admire you. BTW, can share with us the yoga technique of breathing? It may be come in handy to some of us leh.... especially those not opting for epidural....

Remember to pose pic of Yu Jie.
 
Venus has given birth to a baby girl 3.32kg at 640pm. Smoother delivery. Natural with epiduraldeliery. COngrats!!!!

bbcutie
bochap's bb is a girl hee hee :p not boy leh...hee hee :p
 
Venus,
Congrats!!

Bochap,
paiseh... thought its a boy...kekekeke... because the word Yu (universe) is more like for boy leh.... kekekeke... But hor if u don't see the handwriting, the name sounds like a boy name leh... Sorry hor... That's my opinion only...
 
Von delivered marcus Kang at 1901pm. Baby weighing 2.646kg. She said she has a hard time pushing and almost nearly needed vacuum suction. She is very tired but happy.
 
bochap: Welcome back!!!!
Wow... u actualli tahan so long ah... hmmm yong qi ke jia....
happy.gif
So how u feelin now? Do take good care of urselves ya...
happy.gif


Venus / Von: COngratulations!! hehe... so happy that ur babies are in ur arms liao.... *envy* hehe

happy.gif
 
seems like a lot of mummies on leave today... thread not so active today.

I am on half day today... Here's wishing all Abundant Wealth &amp; Health in the Year of the Dog!
 
Hi Feb2006 MTBs,
I juz came from my checkup and doc said that i'm 1cm dilated, baby engaged and cervix oredi ripe (soft). So he said it might juz take a few days then i can c my bb oredi..He did the VE and it's a bit painful, i didn't bleed though.

My bb is 3.1kg at week 37+. If need to induce, I'll be scheduled on the 2nd wk of Feb.But i'd rather go for natural so will try to eat curry, pineapple and walk walk the next few days to fasten the dilation..
Ooops, the pain that I'm having are the start of contractions...so doc said i should monitor.
Will keep u updated.

Hi gals

My boy finally take to the bottle liao. phew! he accepted the nuk teats. :p Now can start expressing again!

However, he's been using me as a pacifier, been on me for 1.5hr!!! So tiring. But coz trying to get him to drink more milk, I'm not going to ji jiao with him now.
 
Hi all,
Happy New Year.
happy.gif

still struggling with my babies especially the night feeding. hb and me are now endangered speices aka panada. babies are still not sucking well, so I have to pump milk to give to them via bottles. actually not enough, so have to supplement with formula. Still have a headache with the names, cause we are trying to find two names with related meanings and after first consultation with the shifu, we are not satisfied, so we waiting for the next set of names from the shifu again. so right now calling the babies gor gor and di di if not then babies.
happy.gif


Congrats to Ivory, Siewlng, Smiley, Venus, Ling, Vonvon. Welcome to mothermood.
happy.gif
I find it super tiring, worse than when I handle 3 normal academic classes and 1 normal tech class and 1 express class when I started teaching. :p
 


hi all
thanks for congrate!
I tried TBF, tough... same as Mashy, I feed for 2 hours each time.
Refused bottle. At 2 hours interval, super tired. Now lying down n type, back aches..

Although feed so much, PD still said my bb weight loss more than 10% liao. Got to monitor. Worried...
As for Jaundice, heng ah, so far, dun have... (hmm, maybe my TCM doc is correct, dun take yellowish foods b4 shen?)

As for previously, PD said bb's heart got sound (likely cause by heart got hole). Today, tat sound is softer liao. Will monitor again!

My breastmilk finally "full tank" liao, but a bit pain now. Trying to express out, hope bb can drink and get fat.

(Bbcutie, dun worry, I purposely choose a name tat cannot be identified as boi or gal one hehe!)

Last, wish all Happy Lunar New Year! Enjoy the foods ah!
