<font color="aa00aa">Got a qn to ask u ladies. For those music to let our bb inside listen, can we just play the music in the room and the baby will be able to hear. Or must buy earphone n strap to tummy huh? So far, i either listen via earphone in office or thru player in my bedroom.</font>
Contractions... even I am a 2nd time mummie sometime i can be also confuse and cant recall what is contractions like. I think can be a kind of instinct u know something is not right and go popping bah
Angel,
think for me I think most comfy is e hospital you like. Though now KK is doing the job but no matter how u still prefer TMC right? So just go back TMC hehehe and feelings can be different. TMR u sure can discharge and rest at home tell bb be good.. I think bb out after 36weeks is ok one yeah.
Liew,
Can be true leh.. when we dilated we also don know cos it may not be like contraction feelings. Some ppl dilated without having contractions that is power also!
I think all of us will worry how contractions like & labour pain etc.. DOn think of it. Just tell yourself able to hold little ones in our arms soon, can even g without epi. I also go without epi and process is fast too. When bb is out e feelings cant be describe

<font color="aa00aa">i find own singing is the best and your baby will recognise your voice once they were out.
I remember i always sing Twinkle x 2 lil star to my #1, then during hospital stay whenever she heard me singing the song, she'll stop crying lor. So miracle. </font>

mylittleprince,
for me I play the CD in the room cos they say no good to put earphone near the tummy cos too loud for the baby liao.
felicia,
yours is good idea cos baby will recognise mummy voice, cos when my hubby or me talk to my baby, she will respond now by moving or kicking me.

cynthia: ya.. i more comfortable with tmc.. cos i see the way the nurse handle the baby here quite rough.. another thing is that the docs here all very young.. alot of trainees (can see from their tags)
but apparently kkh got reputation leh.. ppl say if gto any complications, sure send to kkh..

Hi mommies,
Its adviseable not to use earphone on the tummy...
So have you all decided whether to use EPI or not.. From wat i know, epi do have many side effects and on labour time, if your request for EPI, the nurse will give u a list of side effects and u got to sign it after taking the EPI. So in the middle of the epi, if you died or what they are not at all responsible.. SO its sound scary to me...
I tried not to take EPI ba,.. try to tolerate the few hours then our rest of our life suffer from those side effects...

Me also heard tat epi got lots of side effect but if the pain is really unbearable think epi is better but if still can endure then w/o.
icegal n christina: i surf the forum, there was this thread asking who suffer from backache from the use of epi..
surprisingly quite a few mummies didnt kena much sideffects from epi leh.. maybe it differ person to person?
i seriously cant take pain la.. so will take epi.

I think when the time comes for labour, we will definately know cos the pain is not easy to cope with... from what I hear lah.
Angel, it's true that go to kkh for complications, but if you want to be pampered TMC will be a better choice. Unless, you choose to stay in deluxe room at KKH, and be a private class patient (but the charges are not cheap... deluze room for 1 night ward charge only at $400 already!). As for the junior doctors, if you are a private class patient, only your chosen doctor will see you and confirm that doctor is a senior doctor. you can even choose head of department to see you, or a professor. no joke. These people are supposed to be the best of the best in the industry and the hospital staff look up to them, so there are additional benefits being their patient cos things will be done more efficiently. I was warded at CGH for suspected appendicitis, as a private patient, seen by a professor. I was treated very very well by the nurses and the staff.

Angel, Christina, icegal,
There are risks involved in using epi. We will be advised of the risks and sign an acknowledgement slip before we get the epi. As for side effects, yes, but it is a "risk" to every woman. Some women get it, some don't. I'ts ilke, some people take antibiotics, and get rash. There is a risk that antibiotics cause rash but it doesn't happen to everyone.
Actually, epi is good and bad at the same time. depends on our luck. For some women, epi can cause the woman to relax and even sleep for a while. their dilation will be quicker. for other women, epi can stall labour, cause contractions to be less effective and end up in emergency c-section. My doctor told me epi results in higher risk of forceps and vacuum deliveries. just sharing.
epi is bad for bb. confirm. bb tend to be more drowsy, unwiling to latch on. cos epi is strong medication which will cross over to the placenta. and affect bb.
My threshold for pain is very low but I'm hoping that I can go without epidural. Last consultation, my doctor asked me if I want epi or not. I told him have not considered (white lie!!) cos I want to wait for bb to be engaged properly first (at the moment bb is already head down in a good position but nothing is confirmed till bb is engaged). I did tell him I want to avoid a c-section. He got my message.

Angel,
I think depends on what type of care you are looking for. At KKH's The Private Suite, per consultation with a senior consultant is about $100/visit only. minus vitamins, scans, blood tests. no joke. Their most expensive ward is at $400/night. On an average though, KKH's normal 1 bedder is a bit more expensive than TMC's 2 bedder.
Private class at KKH may mean that you are seen by a Registrar (lowest of all specilist.. the order is Reg, Associate Consultant, Consultant and then Senior Consultant) and stay in a 4-bedder (B1 ward). This will be cheaper than being seen by a Senior Consultant and stay in deluxe suite.
