LABOUR PAINS
hi gals, esp mommies who have babies already. my plan was to have a completely natural childbirth, without epidural, can i ask how often is that possible? any way to describe wat the pain is similar to? i took out my appendix b4 and found the whole episode q a breeze, but everywhere i read they say labour is the greatest pain in a woman's life ..
read this article http://www.alexandertechnique.com/articles/childbirth/
also in sgp wat position is a woman in for natural birth? the article said being on all fours is good? hmm.. labour sounds v unglam .. can poop, be on all fours .. but im sure at that point who cares.
im suddenly starting to panic and not feel so gungho afterall ... anyone here had completely natural childbirth?

Hi Ningyo,
I bought bolster and pillow cases at the last Babycare Festival Expo, and the price was abt 40% cheaper, so maybe u can expect the same for mattress at the expo. Oh ya, the pillows and bolsters were so much cheaper at the fair too. But dunno if they will be participating????
Pupsandcups,
I delivered my ger 4 yrs ago without epidural, just the laughing gas and pethidine. It was assisted deivery.
As for the positions, i tink most gynaes do it the half lie/half siting position lor. As for on all fours, it depends on your gynae's preference. u might check with her/him.

pups,
whether u use any pain-relieving method, it all depends on ur pain threshold. if ur pain threshold is high, u dun need any. let ur gynae or midwife advise u when u r on e delivery bed. let ur body decide too.
for me, i had epidural n went thru assisted delivery. i wasnt planning 2 use epi but my gynae insisted i do cos i couldnt tahan e contractions (my pain threshold is nil - i cant tahan any sort of pain) n since i cant relax, there's no way i can dilate. after epi was administered, i dilated very fast.

pups,
try to drink less milk i guess cos maybe baby cannot tolerate lactose. cos i read somewhere on the net that some babies cannot tolerate too much lactose which lead to diarrhea.
augs & butter,
i encounter the same thing as you baby also kicks me during at night which make me can't sleep really well. Its ok for tummy not getting bigger cos is normally first pregnancy is always smaller..but when we reach the 8th mth and 9 mth of the pregnancy i think tummy will be heavier cos by the time baby is already 1 or 2 kg

Hi Dino,
Last trip i did not ask much, she also din mention anything particularly. She already gave me the baby movement monitor chart in previous visit, but in fact i din monitor by writing down the time when baby moves
as i can feel bb movemement every now and then, she said ok. She only mention there r some very light stretch mark at my lower abdomen which i can't see it myself.
She'll give me a list of things to pack for hospital after 2 weeks. My next visit on 10 June.
ya, i will be giong for the talk tonight.
Dino, are u the one who came in late last saturday? hee.
maybe i guess wrongly..

to help bb have strong skull:

to help bb hv strong body and mother hv strength for labour:
from week 24 onwards, drink chkn with "pao sheng" once a mth, stop @ week 36, coz gotta prepare for delivery anytime also.
-buy kampung chkn, de-skin it, stuff the chkn with 5-8pcs of "pao sheng". put in a container, with NOTHING else. just brew it for abt 1hr. and u will the essence of the chkn & "pao sheng", drink it!

Babyboy, think should be at the secondary school.. ya, 7-9pm. wah.. ur baby is 1.6kg at 29wk! yes, booked 4 bedder room already.
Ok, thanks Chrys...secondary school...
dr wong suggested i book the 4 bedder room first and decide how (whether to upgrade later)....
have yet to see how the room looks like, always closed for tours because there are patients in there...
yeah,i've got a big boy..he is one week ahead his average weight..but his mummy & daddy all tall so dr wong says its normal...only strange thing is that my tummy is still considered small at 7.5mths...
Chrys & Dino, when is yr EDD? Maybe can see you girls after delivery..... : )

Hi Babyboy,
Dr Wong mention to me that when we are in the delivery ward, remind her to check for us whether are we in 4 bedded or 2 bedded(although sign up for 4bedded). If happen that there is vacancy in 4 bedded, and we dun wish to be in 4bedded, we can upgrade at the point of time.
Hi Chrys,
U bingo. Are u the one who came in slighty early b4 me? And we meet each other at the carpark?

hi pupsandcups,
if u r with kkh, they do provide but they will still ask u to bring ur own so u r more comfy. my friend at tmc told me that the hospital does not provide so u have to get ur own.
hi rain,
i just bought one just now at simei but not sure whether it's cheap. $15.90 for one that is like a cotton shirt but is rather long (around knee level)

can't remember who recommended the raspberry tea, the dalcott one at carrefour. anyway i jus realised its black tea infused with raspberry flavour. for the benefits, need to buy raspberry leaves tea, which i read on another thread can buy at taka basement tea shop.
tks for the coconut tip, maybe i start eating soon, weather so hot will be good also
