I went for my checkup yestd, asked doc abt donating my cord blood. He says he can do it for me at no addl cost, but he cautioned me that I may bleed more... cos I'll be delivering by c section, the womb will be cut opened... if he's going to take another min or 2 to retrieve the cord blood for me, there's a possiblility that i may lose another 300-500cc of blood. (sounds scary to me now....)
I oso asked abt post natal massage. He says it's ok to do massages, but the tummy area shld be avoided until 1 mth later... hmmm... i m not too sure if massaging aft 1 mth is still effective?....
He has oso given me a range of dates to choose for my c section. It's btw 12/1-20/1, tho he highly recommend 12/1-16/1. So, my initial plan of 23/1 cannot be carried out. He says he'll let me decide if i really choose 23/1, but it's very likely that i'll go into labour b4 tis date. Well, he did emphasized that he's not a prophet, juz speaking fm experience lor... gotta seriously think abt it now....
