phy,
what i know is that there is more possibility for a free upgrade from 4-bedder to 2-bedder because there are only 2 4-bedder rooms that are usually full.. hence quite a few mummies can get the free upgrade..
but they have quite a few 2-bedder rooms and hence, a free upgrade to a 1-bedder, though possible.. depends on whether all 2-bedder rooms are full or not..

re: your question on real labour pain
it all depends on individual pain threshold and how long your labour lasts.. from my past 2 experiences, the contractions in the early part of labour were more of discomfort rather than pain.. more like menstrual cramps. it only became very painful when i was reaching full dilation (maybe very severe menstrual cramps x 2 or 3 times). the worst part was when i had to refrain from pushing when the urge is very great and the contractions at the peak.. if u go without epidural, the pushing part is bearable, coz u wil be pushing hard when the contractions build up and u won't feel so much pain.
but if you are distressed by the discomfort or pain, better to consider pain relief, have a nap and enjoy the birth process
juz hope that you have a fast labour and any pain u may experience will only be for those few hours. once baby comes out, all pain will be forgotten and worth it

missylan,
thanks for ur reply.. i'm also tempted to stay in a 1-bedder but guess its a little over budget so thats why hoping for a free upgrade to a 2-bedder instead..

cookiemz,
wow! thanks a lot for the description.. at least i will roughly have an idea on what to expect..
i guess my threshold of pain is rather ok.. just got to pyscho myself for the very worst and if it turns out not too bad.. then i'll be ok..
i do want to enjoy the birth process but at the same time.. wanna experience real labour..
guess i'll decide when my little gal has decided on her birth day.. hehehe

Petrina,
wow, you intend to go without pain relief? Salute!!! My threshold for pain very low.. even hubby said to me,"Think you'd better get epidural."
I've requested for single-bedder since hubby gonna stay overnight with me
Cookiemz, menstrual cramps x 3 times? That must be really really painful!! I remembered I used to have fainting spells when I had bad cramps... *cold sweat* think epidural 100% for me!
I'm a little coward

constance,
wahh... yr maid very daring lei. mine is worse hor, caught her red-handed lying but she still insist NO. dun dare to scold her much, fear tat she will poison my food... she cooks for the whole family. we are quite lenient with her, as long as she does her job. she holds a mobile phone too... told her tat she can eat anything she wants in the cupboard, canned food blah blah. and she eats watever we eat. the reason y im still keeping her is becos she can speak and understand mandarin (cos my mum cant speak english) and also does massage my mum everynight. so i guess better dun be so fussy lah, wat if i send her back and request for a another one but turns out to be even worse...

hi sassy
so qiao. mine also can speak mandarin.
Actually i also dun really scold her cos i have 2 young kids at home, somemore 3rd one on the way. Pretended to ask my mum abt the birdnest this morning, when mum said she didn't take any, i turned to the maid. She gave me innocent look and said she didn't take. So i just say very loudly "funny ah, got 6 bottles, i only took 2, now left 2 only. How come 2 missing." Maid quickly go to the kitchen and pretend to busy herself with hsewk. I think i have to talk to her 2nite again. So angry. everytime we always offer her the tidbits and food we buy, she keep saying not hungry, but secretly steal food. So hypocritical. btw, i also found out that she has been using our photocopier machine secretly.
Really in dilemna whether to change her. Worried that next one may be worse....

Any of the mummies here are taking care of your newborns alone?
My mum last min back out, say dont want to help me take care of my gal in the night as she commented very tiring as she has high blood pressure. Then my hubby needs to work in the morning and i did not engage any confinement lady too.
So if were to engage a CL now, i wonder how will she charge me as i had gave birth 2 weeks ago and i order confinement tingkat.
Mummies, can u share w me where u get the contacts for your CL, i need to find 1 urgently.
thanks

miorei, note yr interval bet each contractions. & if u experience like 10mins (tat means the end of the last & the start of the next) interval & it's regular, then u better go to the hospital... any other signs?? muscus plug (in brownish sticky form) or any bloody discharge?
Hi mummies,
I have popped. My son Luke was born on 29th Nov at 3.385kg. it was natural with epidural.
Linda could you help me update.
Have been very busy with the new born and my 1st gal. she seems jealous and keep asking for attention.
Now my baby is still having jaudiance and was hospitalised for an additional day in hospital and we rented the photothrepay machine back to our house. Cos jaudience level still high after the 8th day.

our bbs born on same day
she's currently under phototherapy at home too. $250 for 3 days rental, transport etc. Tomor going to review again. hopefully it'd have gone down then can return the machine. she was ok upon discharge but jaundice lvl went up to 14.8 on wed's check. if hit 15 then must hosp liao.
Have been having trouble bfing, so now expressing out and letting my mil feed. problem is that means i dun even get to hold my bb until bb's nite feeds coz she insists that i just lie there and sleep. dunno how to tell her that it's not the milk thing, it's just that it's my bb n i want some time with her too. tell hb he'll say that it's nothing lah, but it's a pretty big thing to me. sigh. last time with #1 like that, now with #2 also like that. that's why I much prefer to have CL, at least being an employer got more say than being done a favour by mil.
ss also still low despite pumping every 2 hours. no more latching already, and averaging 30-40ml total/2 hrs. trying everything, fernugreek, goat's rue, but still miserable. Argh!

u saht saht! jia you!
u saht saht! jia you!
hahaha... linda, u really leh, there to deliver still so busy with yr laptop! hahaha...
claire, i agree, tat's y tis time round, my #2 we engaged CL... cos my hb also know i xiao xiao, he keep saying i got mild post-natal blues after my #1, which i know am not lor, cos i juz dun quite like the idea of my MIL doing confinement for me, so i cried a bit during my #1 confinement, so this time round he scare i break down again, so we went for CL! haha...
i guess the milk supply is mainly due to u not direct latch lor, if u can get BB to latch on direct, i believe will improve alot! cos i remember the lactation consultant did tell me, even if u express, it's only like 1/3 of wat the baby can suckle direct, so tat's y they always encourage feed on demand to increase the milk supply! Good luck & rest well!!

Hi Linda - I was at Dr Sim's earlier. While she was scanning me, she asked Jaslene to call up the labour ward to do VE on you. That was when I realised you haven't popped yet. Hang in there ... should be anytime soon. Good luck!
Bluelily - we were just talking about how we have to work for 2 more weeks before our ML on Monday, and now you've raced ahead and popped already. Congrats!
