Hi ladies! I was reading the thread today on C-section. Actually, I think why not try natural first and if there are complications, C-section can be your option? After all, it's the wonder of the whole birthing process that makes the experience memorable isn't it?
I wanted to share that I'm very happy today cos I think I've found the hospital I want to deliver at! Hubby and I went for a hospital tour at Samitivej Hospital (Bangkok). I was afraid I couldn't find a pro natural (active) birth hospital in Thailand. But this hospital's birthing room is really nice (see http://www.birthinternational.com/diary/archives/2006_12.html.) complete with a birthing pool, birthing balls, chairs, ropes etc. They also have the normal delivery wards and the operating theatres. Most importantly, there's a team of midwives who will be at hand to give you massages, hot packs, cold towels.
Has any 2nd time Moms here tried water birthing before? I hear that for water birthing you don't even have to have an episiotomy. I'm quite keen to try water birthing but wld like to hear from your experiences.

It's me again. Sorry, I wanted to ask you ladies what your OSCAR tests comprised of. Is it nuchal scan, PAPPA and the free Beta HCG test? What about other blood tests? Also, how much did the OSCAR cost you? That's cos I found out Thai hospital has OSCAR test too. I was going to fly back to Spore next week to do my OSCAR but if I can do here, might as well save a trip home.

bkkgal: yup, i totally agree, try natural first... although i wont have a choice, i think. my gyne isn't keen to let me go into labour coz he's afraid of complications

hi hi..
hi cheryl, mine no itch.. u must be soo uncomfortable.. must be very tortureous for u..
hi dorothy & garfield i always lie on my tummy.. just wanted to be sure that it's ok.. i think i'll miss lying on my tummy when it gets bigger..
hi babybug, i m really lucky.. no MS at all.. so far only on 3 occassions stomach feel very bloated.. that's all.. i get hungry easily.. every 3-4 hours stomach start growling.. just one thing.. i don't shit as often.. think it's because of the iron in the prenat vit.. so my stomach's quite big.. n i don't know if it's big because of baby or big because of food.. haha..
my next appt on Monday.. yeah, i think u r right that the EDD depends on size of baby.. typically they estimate 40 weeks from LMP, but heard that 36 - 38 actually ready for birth..
hi tong tong.. do take care of yrself..

hi apple,
congrats! you must be relieved. i'm going for mine this friday. can i ask if there is any dietary restriction before blood test? the nurse never tell me anything....
the bra extension works only if the cup size fits, but the straps are too tight. so with the bra extension, the fit is just nice. but if your bra cups are too small then bra extensions won't work for you.

hi goodbaby,
no need to sew, it's interchangeable. super easy to use!! the extension comes with two hooks and 3 pairs of eyes. so you hook it onto your bra's existing eyeS and it's extended already =P
so only need 2 pairs. one to wear one to wash (unless you are particular about the colours matching). it comes in all colours too.

hi goodbabyb,
i was told to go toilet to pass urine before the Oscar test. Strange. Mabbe the machines in US are very different from machines in singapore.
Cheryl,
slight cramps are normal, but not normal if u get cramps on a regular basis leh. The pulling sensation is normal cos the ligaments are stretching.

goodbabyb, I drank about more than 1 500ml bottle... maybe you drink until a comfortable level and see whether bb in right position or not... at most wait a while and do the scan again...
This morning my bladder was so full that I almost go and ask them to do the scan for me immediately... I scared I cannot ta-han... but luckily they called my name while I'm still hesitating... and I was so scared it will leak when she pressed on my tummy...

I got sore throat in early wks of pregnancy also and was so bad, i juz took Pi Pa Gao lor... it really soothes a lot. I am not sure whether ok but think once or twice shld be fine
Hi Doink! My EDD is the same date as yours!
Eileen, OSCAR is a comprehensive first trim scan which includes blood tests. They do a nuchal scan to measure thickness of fetus' neck (to check for Down's syndrome), PAPPA and Beta HCG. It's recommended for women above 30 yrs of age to check for abnormalities. Usually, this is done before more intrusive tests like amniocentesis is recommended (if needed at all).

Thanks ladies. I have been coping by drinking lots of water and taking hacks blackcurrant sweet... but u know lah nothing beats having pi pa gao down the throat.
But to be on the safe side, I will consult my gyne when I see her next week. Btw my gyne told me that we can drink honey but it must be 100% processed. Does anyone know what that means? Most honey over the shelf did not state whether they are 100% processed or not.
