cjteng: did u also engage ur massage lady fr originjamumassage? I finished my 10 day massage with them. My massage lady is lathifa. V good n almost no tummy liao! Btw,i also using e green wrap..now though massage finish liao. But still must ownself wrap for 4 to 6 mths to achieve best results
Ni, thanks so much for the contact! I just called miriam and she's available. she seems nice. when did you start your first massage? she suggested to start earlier cos she can help with breast engorgement... so happy to get another thing done.
Zill: you are posting from hospital now? how's little one doing? bf okie? I've already decided to use epi and told me gynae about it. hopefully my body is able to take it. but the info here does help me get mentally prepared of the side effects.

Suika:actually,during the first 4 days home,he will sleep immediately after the feed.only since 2 days ago,he started to want to cuddle. Just tried putting him on our bed instead of the cot to sleep,and he slept soundly for 3 hours liao.Maybe its the bed?
M_int:ya,last night let him suckle for a while and asked CL to feed through spoon my EBM. What FM are u using? My BM has been quite sufficient plus we haven finish the stock of glass bottle milk that TMC gave.. but i think must stand by fm liao.

ladies,
here's an update of my birth story. sorry got the timing wrongly. delivered at 1758 hrs and not 1558...
9.45am - arrived clinic
10.10am - inserted tablet and observed at clinic
11.00am - went for breakfast and contractions started abt 15 mins interval but still manageable
11.40am - admitted to labour ward under observation
1.00pm - administered epidural
1.40pm - VE done, 4cm dilated
2.20pm - wheeled to delivery suite
3.04pm - administered drip to speed up labour
4.00pm - VE done and still 4cm dilated. nurse say maybe around 9pm will deliver
5.30pm - told hubby i felt something sliding down under there. asked him to and get the nurse
5.35pm - nursed rushed in and did VE. 9.5cm dilated!! at this point all of us were shocked cos din expect so fast. moreover was on epi so they were quite surprised i can feel something down there. called doc and while waiting, started pushing
5.58pm - baby Zachary arrived!
cord was around the neck but no harm to bb (But imagine if i din call the nurse and din feel something sliding down then how?? if push and cord wrapped all the way round the neck how??). also found a cyst which doc khi removed for me before she stitched me up.
doc khi was very cool when she arrived. she took out her jacket, tied up her hair, then changed into her gown and stood there folding her arms and looking at me down there.
i regretted taking epi cos it was damn painful. the epi itself was not painful, but prior to that they had to jab the anasthetic to numb the area and THAT was painful! then during the epi,the anasthetists told me that i will feel some spasms in my leg, then i felt a very sharp pain similar to muscle cramps in my calves. then the nurse keep saying, breathe breathe! i scolded her, and told her to bend my toes inwards. then only the pain stopped. haiz... comparing my 2nd delivery with epi, this experience is bad man!
this morning i got up early to shower and an old nurse who wanted to take my temperature told me off for bathing so early in the morning...
my girls came to visit me this morning and each brought a stalk of rose!
that made my day..

Rachel & Samval : Thanks for sharing ur experience. Both of you are so cool! =)
Samval : how come u still feel the sliding part? isit bcos the epi not strong enough for u? or maybe it's juz ur motherly instinct. =) did u feel any pain then? so sweet of ur gals to bring u roses! so heartwarming! =)

. I think after my 1st girl, tahan SOOOOO many hours of excruciating pain w/o epidural, my 2nd was really short and quick. Dunno how this #3 is going to be, but I hope I can do it again this time.
rachel, samval, bbstarlet, CONGRATS!
