u can go http://www.yahoogroups.com then sign in with yr id and password u can see liao.
grace,
I am not sure whether the effects of epi is true or not.
If i got real contractions and i can tahan i prob dun take epi.
But if induce, tink must take epi or else cannot tahan and my pain threshold is low.

wow ellysia, envy your sleep time... how glorious to wake at 11am!
enjoy your time and space now, and hope "it" will happen soon! is your amniotic fluid level ok? if so, i figure it'll still be ok since anything from 37-42 weeks is considered full-term...

Hi gers,just will like to check if admit to hopital must bing marriage cert meh?
sigh.. i seems to be doing more when on MC. Cant stand looking at nice sunny day and not doing laundry. And also the housework to be done. Dunno whether any mommies here are also like that.
Just curious, anyone here decided to send your bb to babysitter/nanny once ML is up? I am intending to send my bb to the same babysitter that is looking after my first boy. Just wondering what is the market price now. I am waiting for my babysitter to quote me the price this evening. In year 2005, the standard rate was $500. Hope can get more up to date rates from any mommy here.

Ellysia, I'm not in yahoogroups yet.
Grace, it is true there may be side effects to you and your bb if you take epidural but if cannot tahan the pain, it may be better to take epidural. it is a double edge sword. only you can decide and each labour is different too. in terms of pain and duration.

Thanks, nss! Yup, Danryan. Doctor will look at the CTG print outs and tell you when to push. you only push when you have a contraction. Erm, some doctors will turn off or turn down the epidural dosage to let you feel some sensation of pressure so taht you will auto push.
But a word of caution. if you don't accept any pain relief from the time labour starts, your body actually produces a chemical which helps your body deal with pain (if you are relaxed) and this is proven to be more effective than even epidural. but very very few mothers can acheive the total relaxation attitude during labour due to anxiety, fear and medical intervention. Once we accept pain relief, our body stops secreting that nautral chemical substance, and we actually feel more pain than if we didn't accept pain relief. For example, without pain relief, our pain may be 6 on a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being most painful. With pain relief, our pain may be 8 due to decreased hormone secreted.. but our perceived pain may be 0 or 1, due to pain relief. So once epidural is stopped or reduced near pushing stage, we may feel alot alot of pain or more pain than normal.

hi grace, christina, thanks. does this rate includes food once your kid start on solid food? The rate I was paying for my first kid is not inclusive of food.
Wonder anyone had 2 kids with the same bbsitter? Will it be the same pricing even if the first kid is at school for 3 hours everyday? I prefer to send them to the same bbsitter as this means less logistic headache for me. If only hb agrees to getting a maid....

Fennie - Wide gap or not, its no problem lah. As my mom always say, its how the parents teach the kids to love each other. My cousins kids are also quite far apart, about 6 years. So far, they are OK.
Talking about epi, when I had my #1, I wanted to go natural. The pain was out of this world for me. After 4 hours of pain, I cannot take it any more and ask for epi. Heng ah, still can take epi. Then it was 8 hours of heaven. When it was time to push, I could still feel the baby pushing himself out. The nurses will scream - Push! So no worries in that department. 3 pushes and my boy came out!

I have felling of slight menses cramp. Is Contraction feelin similiar to that?
On epidural:
I asked for epidural during my first one. For my second one, I am thinking of going natural without epi, as hoping to experience what labour pain is like. My hb was highly against not taking epi, think he scared that I cannot take the pain and kill him. Now in dilemma, dunno to take epidural or not. Anyone here deliberating opting for NO Epidural?

peacebloom,
Yes last check my fluid is 11cm whereas the benchmark is 6cm. My bb still have water to swim around.
jesslyn,
U are now in which week?
OIc so we are same clinic me under dr wong.
yes 3.5kg is considered very big..
My gynae still told me 3.4KG shd be no problem for me bec i am tall.......me 1.68m tall.
cactus,
In order to counter that chemical reaction, i will tink its better to learn from ah mor example.. i remember she told the nurse she want min dosage of epi and she can even feel during the last stage.. tat is quite good i tink... i tink if i get epi i will get min dosage.
my colleagues told me only no 1 may need epi after tat, no 2 and no 3 will be less pain and thus no need epi. since they are all experienced mums with 2 or 3 kids i quite trust their opinions.
why u dun join yahoogroups?.. TF no invite cactus?????

jess, JP is correct, must bring original one.
Hi Connie, I had that menses cramp too. It is different from contraction leh. For me, contraction is more like tightening of the whole stomach area, whereby menses cramp lower and more painful.
Not sure is it the same with the other mommy. Ellysia, is yours like that too?

Jess and JP,
Original marriage cert. No photocopy.
I put my original mariage cert in a document bag and put next to my hosp bag.
nss,
Nope from wat i understand from dr and articles, tightenting of stomach area is braxton hicks contractions and definitely is false.
Real contractions are menses cramp pain but sometimes can be false alarm only pain for less than 1 hour and not persistent.
