jvenus
Think maybe some men will need a lot of motivation to do household chores hor? Tt's why I tell my HB tt having gers are better, then are more willing to do household chores..
I didn't bother asking HB to help with bb's clothes, sure no order in sorting them out.. And the folding?? *tsktsk*

U're a brave mummy! No epi leh.. Must pray tt my labour is like urs, not too long. My colleague said her no-drugs birthing process took 26 hours!!! *argh*
*hugs* Is ur MIL going to be the main caregiver too? I must say sometimes the older folks listen alot fr here & there & think tt's THE way.. U must get HB to put his foot down & show/remind him the notes fr ur antenatal class. If not u wld always be so pek chek

hello mommies,
congrats to those who have delivered!
and to those awaiting to see ur babies eagerly, u'll be grinning fm ear to ear soon!
luvlel, hope bb stays inside u for another 2 wks!
cocomo, can help me update? 3.1kg @ 37 wks.
went for checkup today and did GD test. hopefully *cross fingers* tat test results are negative.... haven't been touching ice cream for SOOOO LONG oredi... *sigh*
doc oso said, baby not low, not engaged. most likely will be carried till full term... eeks. again. i better take some leave to ease my swollen feet, aching pelvis, and painful right hip.
also did a tour @ TMC today. not very satisfied. @ East Shore, juz go straight to labour room, dun need to go observation rm first then labour room. nonsense. furthermore, oni SOME labour rooms have attached toilets. even more NONSENSE. the gal who brought on the tour kept saying 'depending on availability' like broken down record player. she even used tat line when we asked about the newly-renovated rooms. wait suay suay get the room tat not renovated.. biang eh, they better gimme discount. i tink i might consider going back to east shore to deliver. only prob is tat the gynae can't pop by to see me tat often....
re: PD
personally, i dun find Dr. Ho tat fantastic. In fact, Dr. Loke at the same clinic might be more attentive, u'll find. but downside is the LONG waiting time. btw, Dr. Ho was actually the PD assigned to me by Dr. Heng previously.
re: Post natal blues
hang on in there ladies, it's gonna be a tough ride, but we can do it. juz concentrate on the bb, n get our minds off the other nitty gritties.

Cocomo,
Kindly help me to update:
bb is 2.7kg at 37wks 5 days.
Gynae said i can choose to deliver anytime now since oredie full term (tho bb not fully engaged) but bcos i'm not showing any sign of discomfort yet, e.g. terribly swollen feet or high bp, so she is not in a hurry to induce/deliver me.
She will oni do VE for me at my next visit, i.e. wk 38 to see if cervix is soft and open.
If so, can then decide whether anot to induce.
Anyway since 2.30am, i've been feeling tummy tightening and pain in the upper & middle part of the tummy.
Interval was sometimes 5 mins apart but now, i tink it's gone. Dunno if it's contractions, so got up to research on it..and seems like it's a false alarm. Luckily din wake up hb cos i was really scared jus now.

I can tell you from experience cfm got differences one! You know same culture also got diff, whats more when it comes to different cultures... : p But I guess at the end of the day if some things can let it go, then just let go. Cos you also dun want to strain the relationship becos of bb and put hubby in a difficult position. I had my fair shre of differences with my MIL also but sometimes I can close 1 eye i just close 1 eye lor. Is she going to be yr bb's main caregiver once you go back to work?
Peppermint
Hi-five man! I hate the pacifier! And I also had problem with my MIL that time becos I dun want bb to be over independent and then it will be difficult to wean off. Same lor. With my #1 she also "promote" the pacifier cos she said she rather let the bb be pacified then let him suck in too much air whenever he cries. Heng my boy didnt really like the pacifier, i think its also cos i hardly give... so by 2 mths, he totally wean it off. Then my mil is a "sarong" fan... she says baby sleeps better in the yao lan which i hated it but becos my boy had difficulty sleeping in the day and the yao lan seeems to work wonders, I had no choice but to give in. Luckily he is quite adaptable.. he can sleep both in sarong and bed... geez. Bo pain one. Like what you say, we need our MILs so somethings can let go, then let go...

morning mummies!
faeriekim,
you considering to deliver at East Shore Hospital? Will be nearer for you. Cannot remember from hospital tour about going directly to labour ward.
How's En Bi? Any signs of jealousy from her?
reirei,
I really think you and I and our gals can make friends liao. Our babies about the same weight during the same gestational week. Plus the tightening and cramps I also experience since yday morning. Though for me, the cramps more on the lower tummy, below the belly button.
Last night, I woke up twice to pee, still feel slight cramps.
Thanks for the info on true and false labours. Think my cramps also just false alarms.

snow74,
i told hubby i want to stop walking now. don't want baby to come out earlier. have been telling baby to wait till next week. maybe i will start to take cab to work instead from tomorrow. heheh...
hopefully, he will come out next week so that i got chance to look at transfer vacancy. thinking of asking for transfer next year but must apply this year.

M2B,
congrats!
Waiting to hear from you soon!

Hopefully they will learn to adapt when bb comes.
M2B
Congrats! Keep us updated k?

My MIL best... never even buy but fix the traditional one in her house! Hahah! Cos the ceiling got the hook so all they need is to get the parts and sarong. True alot of ppl say yao lan will make bb sleep better but I was scared they become so used to "rocking" that they dun want bed...Hehehe! Yeah they can be contraditory sometimes... : p

hi all,

(did i miss out anyone else? )
it's been a long while since i posted as i stayed in the hospital from 24 july till yesterday!
the long awaited drama birth story:
24 july:
3:30pm- went clinic to insert pill, cervix still closed
4:30pm- contractions started so made arrangements to admit
6:30pm- last decent meal: fish n chips..i refused to eat hospital food
the waiting game started..keep having menstrual cramps thruout the night then became constipation cramps.
i keep going to the toilet to pee n thot i need to clear bowels
25july:
8am- dr came to check my cervix..only 1.5cm and dr broke my waterbag to increase dilation n put me on IV drips to speed things up
i asked 4 epi immidiately. scared pain la
2pm- cervix only 2cm!!!!! after drips n waterbag
4pm- cervix 3.5cm to 4cm only after double dosage of IV drips
6pm- cervix 4cm! by now the epi is not working, i can feel contraction pain move down to my backside. baby is already at my cervix pushing her way out and her heartbeat shot up to 170. she is in distress and mummy's temperature is shooting up
dr and i agreed we have tried our best, time for c sect liao
i opt for GA.
an op nurse came in and encouraged me to do epi instead since i am already on epi ( my second dosage liao )
hubby also wanted to see baby come out, so without thinking i went for it.
epi c sect was fun
i get to be in the op theatre to witness baby;s first cry and can take pics with baby. i didn;t regret la
BUT: thinking back , it takes alot of guts and if it wasn;t the fact that i was tired n wasn;t thinking, i would have gone for GA!
DRAMA:
my family n hubby;s all greeted me and followed me as i was being wheeled frm delivery suite to the ops ( like some HK drama series )
when i was being wheeled out after c sect, i was greeted by family again. i was very much alert
IN THE OPS:
i was shivering badly frm the increased dosage of epi, i threw out just before ops! i was feeling very uncomfy n wanted to move badly secs before my ops. they had to give me sedation! as well as morphine and antibiotics and anti vomit meds.
i could feel my dr pushing my tummy to get baby out!
i could feel dr pushing tummy together to stitch me up!
towards the end i could feel soreness when dr n nurse is wiping me up. i told the nurse, pls be gentle i can start to feel the soreness liao!!!!!!!
( the nurse wipe me like wiping table man! )
anyways, i'm sure glad it is over
no regrets la cos at least i had tried natural n in my stay at the delivery ward, i also witness so many mummies giving birth one by one. every other moment i could hear the next room scream:
PUSH! PUSH! so drama. then baby cries. i feel so happy n relived for the mummies. i feel that i went thru together with them. one of them we were induced at the same time, her cervix manage to open but she pushed for 30mins banging her bed! dr ask her to do imm csect but she was determined n finally did it. feel so happy for her. another one no epi, moaning n crying but less than a min her baby is out!!!
with all these going on, i feel that i already went thru natural labour
CERVIX CHECK:
why nobody tell me it is so bloody painful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i rather go thru csect than that man!
labour or contraction pain with epi or epi jab is nothing compared to the cervix check
looking at my baby, it is all worth it la, she is so cute n her cheeks are so chubby
to the rest of u, jia you!
mine is drama cos i already suspected my cervix won;t open la that's why i did tell dr i want c sect. but he encourage me to at least try since it;s my first baby.
thank god for CL! i can really rest rest rest!
btw, i thot i won;t have milk, but today as i wipe myself i started to drip milk! but i still sub with formula even in the day time cos i have a really hungry baby! every hr wanna drink milk! how to produce so much!

hi everyone, the unexpected has happened! i gave birth 2-3 weeks early to bb jonah on sun. here's my birth story:
4.45am: water bag burst, flow cldn't stop, quickly packed and headed to hospital.
6am: went to delivery suite. contractions quite strong but cldn't feel anything.
10am: started feeling contractions but only 2cm dilated.
1pm: decided to go on epidural coz' haven't give birth yet and pain was getting very strong. only 4 cm dilated.
4pm+: finally time to give birth. 10cm dilated. bb wasn't in a very gd position, so had to be sucked out thru vacuum. doc turned his head so that he cld come out properly. birth weight: 2.8kg.
stayed in hospital till yest. now at home resting with CL. bb doesn't take well to the breast. very sleepy coz' got mild jaundice. have been feeding formula if he doesn't suck much from the breast. also pump so that he won't miss out on the colostrum. i think he finds feeding from the bottle easier since the flow is so direct. he hasn't really learnt how to latch on properly. hopefully, in time to come, can give him breast milk from the breast again. now have to supplement else jaundice will get worse.
will post updates whenever i'm free. gd luck to the rest!

Little twin stars,
Hullo there! Your description made the whole process quite drama. Anyway, I'm sure it's worth it to see your lil' princess
Congrats!
krex,
wow, so you gave birth ahead of your EDD! Congrats!
Jonah looks v peaceful sleeping in the pic.
Good that you have your CL to help out. Perhaps you need to get your hubby to help you with the maid selection. Maybe will be good idea to get a maid in soon with CL so that maybe CL can also help train new maid abit?
reirei,
heh... duno leh.. maybe our babies got some telepathy wor.. send secret messages to each. My gynae didn't say anything about inducing birth, but like yours, prob will do VE next week for me.
Now cramps like not so bad liao but duno if will act up later. Can feel down there v heavy and got urge to poo. Just now after lunch, went to poo. 2nd time today liao!
All the birth stories making me gan chiong too leh.. So exciting, all the mummies popping one by one.
Hullo there! Your description made the whole process quite drama. Anyway, I'm sure it's worth it to see your lil' princess
krex,
wow, so you gave birth ahead of your EDD! Congrats!
Good that you have your CL to help out. Perhaps you need to get your hubby to help you with the maid selection. Maybe will be good idea to get a maid in soon with CL so that maybe CL can also help train new maid abit?
reirei,
heh... duno leh.. maybe our babies got some telepathy wor.. send secret messages to each. My gynae didn't say anything about inducing birth, but like yours, prob will do VE next week for me.

Hello mummies,
I missed alot of posting. Gotta "re-start" (",)
Congrats to mummies who have popped.
Congrats twinstar
Congrats avocado
Congrats krex
Congrats aurora
Did i miss any1 out??? So many cute cute baby pics. Pls post more pics.
I can't wait to see my baby, but hopefully won't be out too soon. Now I'm only 34weeks++. Hopefully after mid aug should be fine.(",)
Been very very busy shopping for toilet accessories & misc items from ikea. Very tiring. But once my new house is done up, I think every trouble & effort put in is worthwhile.
BTW, can we celebrate housewarming & full month together? Will "clash" anot?

Dear all,
Im feeling so much better today! Thanks for the encouragement and advice from all of u. I really relaxed n learn to let go more.
Called my mum to tok n it helped cos was homesick and realised how noble my mum is now tt im a mum myself.
Hubby was very concerned abt me n kept assuring me tt they r all here to help. He says i can't do everything myself and i need their help. Told me to relax n not give myself so much stress. BB is growing everyday n will hv different needs n pattern everyday. Everyone is learning to cope. Think being a first-time mother, I also very gan cheong. Wan everything to be proper.
Today I looked at MIL bathe bb. Just looked n no comments. She's still forgetful e.g. kept cleaning bb's eyes repeatedly with one cotton pad, but i just close one eye. Maybe will ask hubby to remind her again. Hahaa.. sometimes feel tt she cldn't understand wat im saying.
I gave bb EBM in front of her just now cos bb sleepyhead, didn't wake up in time to feed n i pump out first. Luckily she didn't dare to say anything. She also scared of making me cry bah. Hopefully she'll get used to it n take on the idea.
Huichin,
wah, urs might be more challenging cos of different cultures. But im sure u'll survive it all.
huichin/ peppermint/ hisstory,
hahaa.. yah lor. Sometimes really dun understand the rationale of the things MIL do. But I guess they oso feel the same. My MIL keeps saying tt time has changed. Everything now so different from her time. She dun understand y need to use sterile water to clean bb's eyes n face, y i dun wanna use powder puff on bb, and she's never used wet tissues before. It's really a learning journey for everyone.
Little twin stars,
wah ur birth story really very adventurous! Brave of u to try natural first n then epi c section. c section wound will take longer to heal. Take good care yah. Are u bf ur bb?
CONGRATULATIONS TO M2B AND KREX78!!! Jonah is very cute! Sleeping so soundly.
I can't post pix yet cos can't find the cable to connect to my notebook. Will post asap. hehee...

Hi, CONGRATS to all mummies who had delivered.
I saw the cute photos posted on the thread so sweet n cute.
I'm one of the mummies due on aug. My EDD is 26 Aug n in my 36 weeks now. This is my second child. Also very excited as can't wait to enjoy my maternity leave.
Been reading those interesting n novel delivery post. Keep it up! Those breastfeeding must persevere as I know it is very tiring n every 3 hr need to feed the child after breaSTFEEDING, washup, then 1.5 hr later breastfeed again, but this is a good bonding between u n bb. Else ur flow drop or no longer breastfeed, u will miss those moment.
krex78 (krex78), bb so cute n he's resting peacefully. You need to breastfeed him again with ur breast else, by the time he's used to bottle-feed, he will not latch on to you. My sis's daughter prefers bottle to breast as she can't latch on properly.
little twin stars (stardiva), hmm...why is cervix check very painful. I remembered my gynae checked on me during my 1st child, I can feel the pain but not as painful as in labour. Perhaps u are a petite lady. Nevermind, it was over n now u r going to be a brave mother to develop bonding with ur little angel.

Hi huichin (huichin) & hisstory,
I used to nag at my hubby for procrastinating the hsewk but...instead of being unhappy with him or spoilt the relationship, just do it myself since it is still managable for me.
Meme dislike doing hsewk, as long as they play a part by contributing some income to the family i will be glad...

snow74,
actually, i can still walk leh. but i don't want to induce labour lah, so must stop walking. hehehe... not sure if i should continue with yoga though.
tummy is getting in the way now. i keep dropping food on my tummy and hubby always laugh at me. cos now i can't sit close to the table or tuck it under table. got to sit up straight to eat, if not will feel uncomfortable. so i always tell him, its not my fault. its baby's who wants to eat the food.

Congratulations!!!
fitbaby,
All the best!
I was discharged from hospital yesterday @ 5 pm. Still having contractions even after taking orange capsules.
Dr didnt advise steroids as it may affect the GD. She was saying its difficult to make baby stay inside till 8th aug ie my 36 weeks completed. She also said the moment i stop the capsules I would go in labour. She says max can stop for a week. Got appoinment on 2nd with her and hope can ask baby to strech for another week.
I m totally on bed rest and find it difficult to walk.

Hi mummies!
Being MIA for almost a month and really have alot to catch up! Being on course for this whole month and just sat for exam yesterday (prepared to fail liao). What bad timing... :-(
Congrats to all mummies who have delivered!
I am now in my 38week yet still no sign of labour. Guess will be overdue like my first one. Still very active, rolling around in the womb.
Nearly need to go for Csec cos baby decided to head up at around 34 weeks. Luckily head down again. Still keeping fingers crossed.
Will try to catch up with all the juicy news starting from 1 Jul..

But now no more red liao, just abit of brown when wipe.

My gynae really pro-natural lah, he doesn't encourage me to induce. Since today got start of show, he ask me to wait...

Hi Mulberry,
I am also playing the waiting game. But I recalled that after my son was delivered back in 2005, I became so busy as a 1st time mum that I find it's easier with him back in my tummy.hee!! So now, as much as I wish to see Amber's face. I know I should wait since once she's out, I will be so busy again with breast-feeding and routines!! Seeing gynae again tomorrow...38 weeks 3 days.
Congrats to all those who have popped and good photo of baby Jonah taken!!

I'll be 39weeks tomorrow.
<font color="0000ff">ReiRei</font>

Then dunno why this morning woke up with abit of slight fever. Body was achy
oh btw, me and hubby went to Carlton Hotel for dimsum today. It was yummy! Thanks for the recommendation.
hehe...While eating there, i told my hubby that tomorrow I wanna try Lei Garden...haha...i'm such a pig right.
