delphine,
me usually board the mrt at JurEast MRT so on the trip back chances are i might be able to get seats. Then have to switch at Outram MRT for NEL line back to Boon Keng...i cannot imagine if i stand all the way....that time when hb was doing reservist every morning i take the train n stand till my back aching. Cos morning train even worst...almost anyone u see sitting is closing the eyes asleep! For that almost 4 weeks i tink only got a few times got ppl give up seat to me *sigh*
SY,
previously u take EW line then now NEL line? But they are different lines lehz..so how come u can take NEL instead of EW line? Me blur liowz *lol*

celeste,
I use the laughing gas till I high..... ha ha .... I scream for epidural. only 4 cm then. Initially gynae dont' want to give me, but see I scream till so crazy.... say I'm in destress, so ok with epidural.
Straight after epidural, then I dilate 7cm..... ready to deliver. effects of epidural only set in after baby was delivered, while gynae was doing stitching for me. Really waste $$$$ for epidural ......

relax.. relax.. there are many of these people around.
piyoz,
you didn't bathe for days when u did your confinement last july? **deep bow** I doubt I can do that.
painful when induced?
Hmn... my was induced too, but the pain is bearable for me leh. I didn't make a noise, the midwife and my gynae were surprised. They kept asking me must take epidural or scream out if in pain... But I told them the pain is ok leh, why scream? maybe I got mensus cramp every month until I'm quite used to the pain liao.
I only use the laughing gas at the last half an hour, that's when I feel the urge to push but not allowed to cos not fully dilated yet. That's the part I feel is most difficult to endure, as if u have to go 'bang sai' but u must hold it and cannot let it out... Terrible feeling.

hehe.. thanks to my monthly training on the cramp, until I'm so used to it already, though the pain during labour is few times greater than the usual one during my M days. Put it this way, I suffer mild labour every month leh... So I'm quite happy when preggie, no M no pain.. only suffer one shot after 9 months

hi mummies,
today brought my gal for her childcare orientation, turn out quite well.
jaslyn,
thanks i do feel so much better after letting them know abt my thots, last nite slept so much better.
so good for you can start leave liao...nowadays always gets tired very easily, counting down to delivery
garfield,
me went for induction for my 1st one too so i dunno how to count the contractions hahaha...but i had a very painful episode when i was breastfeeding bcos doc told me it will induce the uterus to contract. i broke out in cold sweat and became very pale, think this round i'll might end up using epidural again if it's as painful as this.
PB,
welcome back! you must have enjoyed yourself so much!
Jmon,
since your letdown is so good, it's really worth it to use a dual pump, will get more milk. my hubby dat time saw me pump manually until he can't take it(said hands very tired, he even helped me pump one side of the breast), went to buy the dual pump for me.
re: bathing and showering
i think we better follow by using herb water to bathe bcos my fingers did ache when i washed alot of my baby's bottle and bathed baby myself so this time i told hubby n mil that they better do it instead.
re: aircon,
i stayed in the aircon rm most of the time with baby, which i think it's alright, just dun use a fan, bcos will intro more wind into our body.

I also got the same concern as u .. cos I dont want to use Epidural this time round and still need to tahan the stitching ???

seats in mrt
=====
yesterday someone gave up his seat for me and i read through my journey. when i got up, then i realised it was a preggie lady standing in front of me. really didn't see. and i think i was more preggie than her... but i still felt bad somehow.
jaslyn
======
raise your legs ok? and bend your feet forward and back. ask your hubby to massage you. last night i had to force my husband to get out of sleepy mode to massage my feet and calves cos so tight and painful!
do 'twinkle star' movement with your fingers to release any retention in them.

Morning mummies!
Fiona,
I also had epidural and episiotomy, didn't feel any pain even though my epidural had worn off by the time I delivered. Like you and lbt, I am also hoping to go non-epidural this time. Keeping fingers crossed that I can tahan!
Jaslyn,
Do you want the dresses? If not I will offer them in the WTG section. For water retention, I think reducing your salt intake will help. Also, sit with feet raised, and do those ankle/wrist rotation exercises periodically, just to get things moving.
Garfield,
Strange that your MIL stares while you bf. It's not like she doesn't have boobs herself!

usually i will go to the centre of the car and make sure my stomach is seen 360 degrees hehe. higher chance of getting seat. think in the coming weeks if/when i get very big and really very xin ku, i may just be unshy and ask for seat hehe.
jaslyn

agree with youpi! don't give the water (and blood) a chance to pool. when you're lying in bed also, raise your feet. i put a big cushion just under my knees and my calves until ankles rest on it (ya it is a BIG cushion!). when i turn to lie on my side also will still be on the cushion hehe. hubby says bed too many pillows liao, he got no space
if he doesn't want to massage me, i pull out the baby guilt card. 'i'm carrying your daughter you know, that's why my back/legs/shoulders hurt'. mean i know, and he's tired too i know, but it's true what. we DO get these pains because of the little one! when the babies are born, think it will be harder to get hubby's attention so might as well milk it while we can. only 9 more weeks+ to test their patience anyway! hehe
