massage:
for massage after my c-section, gynae is skeptical but she say if i want, only can do after 6 to 8 weeks and after a check up and her ok. come to think of it, you're right lor maybe too late liao. my cousin in hk also no malay massage lady, she say use binder and eat wind ridding foods, with some exercise can tone up the tummy.
karen,
i also sometimes have the 'why don't i choose natural' guilt trip but yours is more circumstantial because breech, mine is more safety related because i have spinal implants.
i think as long as bb and mommy are safe, no need to be so harsh on ourselves right. like u, i too long to feel labour pangs even if it's only for a short while. i actually look forward to timing my irregular contractions.. hehe.. it's a complex i'ld get out of my system lah, when i hold my little girl. maybe it will be the last thing on your mind when you're holding your little one.
Juz Us,
i have three friends' wedding coming up from oct to jan next year, i also told them in advance pls forgive me if i don't make it because bb is still so small so i tell them first. If they really friend enough, they will understand. next time when they become parents themselves, they will def understand. I think your frenemy quite unscrupulous lor, can emo blackmail you liddat. but u know, sometimes wedding planning turns some women into bridezillas the same way baby prep turns some women into momzillas. ehhehe
xinying,
hahah... your doc's bedside manners very good leh.. but it's true lor, their visits also so expensive, just to say hi and check on u.
Carole,
