tinklebell, stephanie,
Thank you... I called my gynae's clinic already. The nurse said will call me back.
I dunno why do I still need the jab. Last Sat, when gynae told me to take the jabs, my mind is only "alamak, pain again". So never gave it a thought. Is there any way to scan to see if baby's lungs is ok? My gynae said "just in case"...

okipoki,
My EDD is based on LMP. The EDD given by my 13 weeks scan is also about the same.

tinklebell,
u must be more careful lah....try not to do housework nowadays or lighten ur load. Ya, i asked Adrian bout epi tat time must standby one boh. He said there will definitely be anasthetist there one no need ask for standby but dont wait till last minute then scream for epi, cos bb come out by the time epi takes effect or b4 epi is administered....*lol*
lyn,
tink of it this way. If a jab is necessary to strengthen the bb then go for it cos if its gd for bb then dont go and worry bout it
think of the smile ur bb will give u when he pops

u going thru epi or LA? if u can, at the v least, u should take a look at the placenta. i didnt even see what it looked it. should look gross lah... but i thought no harm taking a look.
dsiitan,
ya lor... i think it's bec the wound stretches and when pregnant, u tend to perspire more and so that part may start to itch. it is not painful unless u scratch until it the skin falls off.

Lyn,
Heee personally i think dun need jab because ur bb considered full term liao
I think some gynae really want to safeguard everything. U know, i didn't have any jabs, and when u all talked about the STREP B test or something like tat, i didn't do it either. And also, have to take Hep A or B jabs after delivery. I didn't have that either
Tinklebell,
Haha, having bear through so much, i didn't get to feel what real contractions is like, what placenta is like.. sad hor?
I guess mums who gone thru natural delivery would experience and feel much more than me
Okipoki,
To me, i dun believe in EDD as it is based on LMP. Unless ur cycle is very very accurate, else LMP not accurate. Detailed scan is the one which gives u a more accurate date as it is based on measurement of bb and at that stage, the measurement of bb gives a true picture of which week it is in. In 3rd trimester, due to growth spurt, u realise gynae dun measure anymore because measurement info becomes redundant.

Hey Dsittan
Did your gynae tell you that your bb was a small one prior to delivery? Well, my gynae told me that my bb is very small. He is growing only at the 25 percentile. I am hoping for a miracle like yours when I deliver this Thurs.
On this Thurs, I will be only 37 weeks. I kept asking my doc abt the lung jab ...but she said it is not necessary since bb is more than 34 weeks. Is it true? Should I insist on taking the jab?

okipoki,
My detailed scan also showed a different due date from EDD based on LMP. It is in fact a week later than EDD. So based on detailed scan, i had my caesarian in week 38. But LMP would state week 39.
missk,
Dun worry. If gynae say no need then it is not necessary.. i didn't have any jabs too
Lyn,
Dun worry.. u are under GA. Before u know it, ur bb will be borned!! Congrats in advance
Celeste,
Talking abt baby bonus.. so mad with it.. why dun the govt give $3000 in one go?? They split into 4 times to give, each $750.

Celeste(celk),
hehe...the hawker centre there a lot of yummy foods. The Laksa stall named "Meng Kee" is yummy also...the rojak also! Many stalls with yummy food
And the food is cheap. I buy the mixed vege rice there same kind of dishes as what i bought at YewTee last time. YT one costs $3, at the boon keng there only costs $2.20! *faint*
kk,
i still tot they give the $3k at one go? So its $750 at one time ah? Then give once every 3 mths or wat?

u make me ganzhong. Tmr morning i m gg for induce. dun worry abt e jab, i got e jabs at 35wks too cos that time i lost my mucus plug n gynae afraid i m gg to deliver at anytime. Tis is for playsafe n just in case that ur bb's lungs stil hvnt mature yet.
anyway though i wil be induce tmr 060606, but who knows i might not get e date cos induction might takes long time, i let my bb choose n let nature takes it course even arrive on 070606
as long healthy can already

lyn,
understand your anxiety.. i gave birth twice and both times also feel nervous.. hehee though i appeared to be very composed but inside actually very apprehensive. Anyway i think its ok not to have the lung maturing jab.. cos your bb is 38 week full term liao! Both my children borned in the 37 week do not need jabs.... so far i only heard bb need jabs if they are premature leh... maybe u double check with your gynae why need lor
dun worry... just keep focusing on soon u will be seeing your bb... someone u longed to see for so long and finally will be able to held in your arms... that's the only thing that matters

Hi gals,
I was discharged yesterday at 11am and went home with my precious darling!
My family visited me at home yesterday so i've no time to post my birth story here. The last ended with exhaustion, so i went to bed early 10.30pm.
2 June, 12pm
My gynae called me and advised me to admit and go for induction, he's afraid that when the real contraction comes, i might be in great pain...after a thought, i was worried if it happens, i may experience difficulty making my way to hospital or rather very clumpsy n messy. Also considered that it's a friday, if everything went smoothly, i can go home on sunday and hubby dun have to take leave on weekdays! So i agreed with my gynae on induction.
2 June, 4pm
Admission at TMC. Proceed to delivery ward/observation room at 2nd floor. Gynae came at about 4.20pm, check cervic, break water bag (no pain), then nurse set up ctg. Gynae says see me around 9-10pm at nite. Nurse came back to shave me and ask me clear my bowel.
2 June, 5-5.15pm
The nurse set up the induction drip on me (painful). Then contraction came closer to one another, about 5-6mins once. I think this must be the 1st stage of contraction but already painful to me! So nurse ask if i wanted epidural, i say yes.
2 June, 6pm
I was pushed in to delivery ward 7, getting ready for epidural administration. Anasethist Wong Kah Ho came and administrate the dosage into my spine...oouch, painful!!!! I rem tinklebell's experience so i dare not moved and curve my body as much as possible. It's so miracle, i can feel the dosage runs down from the spine to lower body....Lucky, it's successful! About 15 mins later, i began to feel slowly numb and then fully numb. So good! I no longer has to suffer the 5-6mins once contraction pain! I am glad that i decided epi early so that during the administration, i dun need to endure so much pain and won't shake my body so much, so that i can achieve in a successful administration.
2 June, 6.30-9.30pm
During this time, nurse found my contraction not regular, called gynae and gynae asked to increase the induction from 12 to 24. But baby's heart beat abit drop, means baby can't take the pressure so gynae ask nurse to reduce the induction level back to 12 and 6. Is all waiting time during this while.
2 June, 10pm
Gynae came and check my cervic, 7cm now. and check the ctg, he asked nurse to increase the induction level back to 30 and asked me to talk to baby. I ask hubby to play my baby's favourite music cd and we start talking to baby and encourage him to work hard. Indeed, there's an improvement in baby's heart beat....this time the contraction is very close to one another, about 1-2 mins once and baby's heart beat is consistant.
2 June, 11.30pm
Nurse checked my cervic, fully dilated, gynae came after and the pushing began. Oh gosh, no strength, deep breath push hard, hold the breath, i almost vomitted, nurse passed me the oxygen mask, tried many times but still unsucessful. In the end my baby was delivered with vacuum suction. Gynae told me baby's heart beat drops a little at the end due to baby's cord strangle at his neck...so had to use vacuum to assist me... The moment when i see my darling out, so amazing, so happy, the feeling is unable to describe... and i'm so glad that i can go through the natural delivery process to watch and experienced all these myself! It's really a lifetime experience and memory that i will never forget.
Though i'm not as brave as to try w/o the epidural, but i'm very glad that i've decided to take epi. So that i can enjoyed the whole delivery throughout w/o making my hubby and gynae panic... My gynae says, what we want is a pleasant delivery and not an unpleasant one and i agreed. So, at that moment after the delivery, i actually enjoyed the whole process and actually think that it wasn't so difficult after all to deliver a baby. I'm so glad to own my precious son now and really love him very much.
My son brayden born on 2 June, 11.47pm at 51cm, 3.135kg. I will post his pic later.
lyn, good luck for your delivery tomorrow.
