Babycupid/Cactus,
Haha, same here mah, easy to say but not sure if can really perservere. Just got to keep an open mind that certain situations may arise on the day which prevents us from going natural or without epi or the pain could simply be too much for us to bear. I may not really know my threshold for pain that well, as in now I think I can tahan but then actually cannot.
We shall try our best!

TF, I think we're looking at bb's position from different perspective, cos I've already ascertained tt my bb is headdown, and after that has been established, the other factors to confirm that bb is facing outwards are :
- saucer dip around belly button,
- kicks towards tummy.
I think if head is up, it's a different way of telling?
I didn't read into that cos my bb had been heads down since 24 weeks... so my concern became anterior/posterior... greedy me.

Thanks, Danryan!
ioio, never forget about you lah. just that you were so quiet.. didn't realise you were reading the thread now mah!!
I came across an internet article about location of placenta and fetal positioning but can't recall what it said already. My placenta is posterior.. if I can find that article, I'll post it on this thread.

ioio, "Anterior placental location predisposes for occiput posterior presentation" from the article above. don't think too much about it though.
Tera, Cupid, ioio, this website has some advice on how to turn bb to anterior.

TF, yes. he didn't want me to go through pain.that's why he told me although he will support my decision to go w/o epidural, he won't blame me if I turn to epidural during labour. But he also said he won't let me take epidural too early cos he worries about emerg c-section and he wants me to avoid c-section at all costs. He did say he'll be monitoring the epidural very closely in the event I do opt for it.

Cactus,
Initially i dint know if i opt for VBAC i cannot take epi, but then Veniz whom is oso trying VBAC told me that.
Then i did a check with my gynae and he told me for VBAC, are not encourage to take epi coz if our old wound is tearing inside, we might not be able to realised if we take epi. Anyhow, i oredy make up my decision i must try vaginal birth unless bb wont co-operate.
Actually i got lot of dissapprove look/ opinion when i told them i'm goin to try vaginal birth, but luckily my hubby is supportive on my decision.

cactus,
You're right!
The reason for not taking epi, is want us to realised the pain of the tearing, coz our gynae wont know if it was tearing inside.
Then had to emergency c-sec liao!

cactus,
I really dont like goin for c-sec. My 1st c-sec was due to low lying placenta and i was very very dissappointed. Plus i opt for epidural (half body numb, cant remember wat exactly is called), and it failed, ended up i had to be anaesthetic.
Not able to see baby born process was a dissappointment for me again.

Thanks for suggesting to me.

cactus,
My placenta is not low at current moment. *heng ah!*
Since preggie, whenever doc scan on me, i keep asking where is my placenta. During my detail scan, when the sonographer told me my placenta is at average and said that i can opt for normal delivery, i was so happy.

ioio,
I think i know how to use e loop one bah. I got the loop one cos I dunno where I saw this thread whereby they were mentioning better to get loop cos no plastic there, all cotton, so more comfy down there esp if have natural birth. Not sure if it's true.
But my friend told me just gave birth few mths ago told me loop is indeed better, cheaper and more comfy... She bot 1 big bag of sanitary pad, ended up nv use, got her hubby to go NTUC to buy the loop one for her.

Feli & Catcus,
Yup my #1 oso csec. then #2 if VBAC gynae oso say cannot take epi. but another frd of mine gynae allow her to take epi even trying VBAC, so i guess diff gynae got diff approach.
btw, now sometimes i feel my previous csect area got sharp pain
i think the healed wound is being stretched bcos bb growing bigger. very scare of going thru csec again...

Hi ladies, I was also searching thru the web and found out more on the optimal fetus positioning. Also saw the bellybelly.com link provided by Cactus. It's really useful. Guess that's why some have shorter deliveries timing than others. Most importantly, hope we will all have a smooth delivery!
Cactus, I also hope to go natural w/o Epi! Must remember my breathing techniques man! Now also trying to swim more often as the website says will help baby to position better.
Back fm Giant Tampines n finally got the disposable panties n nighties. I bought the Impression ones. 5pcs for $4.50. It states "For Expectant Mother" and no size indicated. I guess it's ONE SIZE only yah?
Went to see the Karmy nighties but feel that the buttons aren't that many. Saw another brand called "Beauty" with more buttons. So got that instead.Abt $14.50 a piece.
Finally settled these 2 things liao. =) Nitez...
