HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL OF U

for both i have normal delivery and no epidural...baby is in correct position....for my #2 delivery, doc ask me whether i want to wait for Msian National Day or not coz that time i was in labour ward at 9pm on the eve and i told him i don't want to wait so by 930pm he broke my waterbag n 1030pm all done.
As for my both experience if u feel the contraction and back pain mayb it is the signal for you to be ready if the EDD is correct...

Happy Valentine's Day, girls!
iamsnow,
Does he play any PSP/xbox 360/ps3 games? Maybe can get him a game? Prolly the shop can recommend some new games. Or how about a shirt? Just some suggestions.
shycloud,
Got receive b4 from hubby very good liao. i only received 2 from my hubby and i also know he finds it not practical. apparently, the 1st bouquet was sent only because our mutual friend (who intro us to each other) told him to send. *faint* hehe, guys will be guys.

tera,
it's really cheap to tailor made in thailand. we tailor make whenever we go bangkok or phuket.
for quite good material, one top is around 25+ and pants is around 60+. if u go for cheaper materials like cotton, it's even cheaper. the worksmanship also quite good.

Hey Danryan, so cool! Without epidural ah!!! I also dun want but not sure if can tahan the pain! If bb gal, will feel more confident.But was told bb is mickey. Less confident but will try hard to tahan. Ithink it's much better to do without epidural.
Ladies, I'm planning to get a maid to help out with the bb when bb arrives. how early do you think I need to start my search from the time I need help? I will be relying heavily on my MIL and another maid until bb is 4 months old. After that, will depend on my mom (who has 40 days of annual leave to be used in Nov & Dec) and my retired dad. Sooner or later my mom has to return to work and can't helpwith the bb, and Ican't leave my dad alone at home with the bb. I'm also ending my part time work in Dec and will revert to full time in Jan 09. Any ideas?

iamsnow,
Wah, cheap and good.
cactus,
Not sure i got you correctly. That means your maid will start looking after your bb from 5th mth onwards or only when you revert to full time in Jan 09? For my case, maid will start looking after bb once born so I was advised to get one in late April/early May so as to give her time to settle down and familiarise with the environment.

My hubby who told me not to take epidural....i i didn't think of taking dat also...
I also plan to take maid b4 my delivery...coz my mom now 63yrs old...my 2 sons already make her like tarzan....pity her to take care for my 3rd bb....hmmmm...ever hint hubby if we have the 3rd one, we have to take maid already but till now no news or mentioned abt maid leh....i just pity my mom.....

I think I'm hoping to get maid come in in jan 2009 latest. but not earlier than Oct 08. Cos I dun want my maid mix too much with my SIL's maid who is at my IL's place now. My SIL's maid is quite a troublemaker for my ILs and my SIL. Scared bad influence. Maybe in this case, I should start looking after my confinement? Maybe in Aug 08?
I'm hoping for a young unmarried filipino with experience with babies, or a middle aged married filipino with grown up children (teens). I'm open to Myanmar and Indonesian. I heard Myanmar maids are very gentle and good with children. Does anyone know if they can speak english? There are some good english speaking Indonesian maids too, so am open to them.
Danryan, can I find out why your hb told you not to take epidural? I understand that alot of hb's cannot bear to see their wives in great pain so rather they take epidural although the side effects and risks of epidural are well known. When I was first pregnant, my hb told me to please take epidural.. but after I started reading up on natural birth, he actually changed his tune and told me actually birth without epidural is better. Now that I have hb's support is battle half won but alot still depends on bb's size and positioning and my tolerance for pain.

initially i was thinking of myanmar maids coz i wanted a maid who pref can speak chinese so can communicate with my mil. but to start off with, not a lot of agencies have myanmar maids. and almost none (out of those i called) have chinese speaking ones.... plus myanmar maids have more exp agent fees. we need to pay the agent higher comm..... so now i'm thinking of indo maids....

Despite to avoid extra charges for the epidural...what u have said above like side effect all dat are some of the cause my hubby told me...but i endure the pain for a while and after bb is out from our worm.....wow what a feeling hehehhehe...relief dats is how our mum gave birth to us.....yes i admit the pain is unbearable if the contraction comes n go like our waist want to break into 2....

feifei,
Spring @ Suntec is open from 11am so I think the atrium sale should start around that time as well.
iamsnow,
Yah, i've also heard myanmar maids not easy to get. If I can't get myanmar, then I'll go for Filipino.
cactus,
I also heard good reviews on myanmar maids. My relative's maid who's from myanmar can speak English.
Danryan,
I felt shivers down my spine when you mentioned the waist like breaking into 2..aiyo, u r very brave!!

Feifei,
I oso read that we shouldnt go to the hospital too early. You will end up struck in the bed and might not give birth immediately. Nothing much to do and oso incurred medical bills.
iamsnow,
I used to think that way too and I told hb not to buy me flowers cos waste of $$. Hb more than glad to obey. However, cannot help but envy other people on V day. Haha.
cactus,
I dun have a maid and not intending to get one. However, I think it is better to do so earlier. Not only can the maid familiarise herself, you oso have the option to change maid if unsuitable. I heard of stories where family change a few maid before finding the ideal one.

He will ask me when is my EDD, when is the contraction start and told me to time the contraction pain or if any bleeding then can straight away to hospital....

hi....
Happy V day to all mummies.
so wat plans are u all having today?
sigh... my turn to be falling sick... been having runny nose and i can feel a sore throat coming.
i went for my detailed scan yest already.
everything is ok...
and very very confirmed that mine will be a minnie.
gynae says she is quite big too... she did a measurement and estimate her weight to be abt 430g (@21 weeks).
Tera, can help to update the chart? thanks!
ellysia,
there shld be an emer number for u to contact on your gynae appointment card. the number shld help u to get in touch with either someone from the clinic or the gynae in times of emergency. maybe u can ask the nurse next time u go for checkup.

Hi soyabean! congrats on your minnie!!
re: doctor's hp number, my hb's also holding on to the number for me. the plan is if I think I'm in labour, hb contact doctor and try to book a bed for me in advance. it may be easier for him to do so cos he works at the same hospital and the nurses prob find him familiar so more willing to help us pre-book. My doctor is also the only consultant of labour ward so most of the time he is roaming there if he is not at his clinic. I'm seeing him at SGH. I was told before 24 weeks, if any pain or bleeding, go to A&E.After 24 weeks, go straight to labour ward. If I think I'm in labour, I'll call hb who will call doctor. but the actual admission is likely to be later. as late as possible.

feifei,
If it makes you feel a little better, I am also suffering from the "flesh" problem. I got it once in 1st trim and then just last week, it came back again. I've been having it almost everyday this week. Some days it's there, some days it seems to have gone back. Hang in there, my friend.
Maybe u can ask ur gynae tomr if there's any medication or anything we can do to alleviate it?
hi crystal,
welcome back!
