i agree with wintertime that BEST is dun need to use lar but my gynae was saying that as long as its non-genetic like heart disease ... where he discribe as 'machine breakdown' or leukema where the bone marrow just breaks down .. all this can use the stemcells and he was telling me some research that the US army was embarking on but stopped by the Bush etc
so he say that the use of stemcells will be ALOT next time ... in other words he strongly feels that if i can afford it ... then just pte bank it lor

quennie, i initially i wanted to use cc payment cos me n hb says tt we don't wan touch bb's CDA fund... cos we wan bb to keep his own money.. ahhaha.. but after much discussion, we think with such bad economy, might as well opt for CDA.. now cash is king.. but we agree that we will "return" this sum of money back to bb's CDA in due time.

i agree lar ... thats why i say everyone will tell their story and highlight points that favour them lor ... we have to do our own research to make a decision on our own
for me its the lazy way out - listen to gynae heehee
sunshinebaby ....
yes i was on epudural ... thats why when i told them that i want to poo they increase the dosage so that i dun have the want to push sensation ... but when its really time to push ... i dun feel anything liao hahahaha so just listen to my gynae's instruction lor
cos he will look at the machine that track our contraction ... at the peak of the contraction then he will ask me to push
i felt like big time constipation like that hahahaha but my son q small ... 2.79kg only so v easy to pop
yar lor ... keep poking into my v and tell me how many cm lar and that they can feel my bb's head liao *faint*
for this time round ... alot of ppl tell me to try without epidural lor ... cos actually my pain thrash hold is q high from my past experience heehee but i say i see how lor
my hubby agreed that if i dun take epidural then he pass me the $800 in cash for the 'pain' that i need to go thr hahahahaha q a good deal hor

u on epidural still can feel the urge to 'push'?
but y gynae wanna increase the dosage tat makes u no 'pushing' sensation at all? tot u hv the feel, easier to do the push?
tat's quite a gd deal wor... u should give it a try since yr pain threshold is high... kekeke

sun, ya.. i know.. but at least we or his siblings can use it... of cos i hope won't get a chance to use it at all.. but never know mah.. tt's my thinking.
send u guys this link which i read this morning.
http://parentsguidecordblood.org/content/usa/banklists/listasia.shtml#asia
at least cordlife, there's many branch and more establish. there's not much details on stemcord according to this website.. anyway, i did ask around, most of my gf also think cordlife is more reputable.

seabreeze, wah.. ur hb so funnie.. i am still thinking if should use epi or not.. see how i "perform" on that day lor.. maybe i got a higher pain threshold leh? keeping fingers cross. but anyway, the idea of giving u the 800 bucks is gd leh.. maybe i can suggest to hb also.. wahahhaha
sun, my gynae done the cervical check on me when i was wk 35 plus... not tt painful as the rest of mummies claim to be.. maybe my gynae more gentle.

yap ... thats why i can imagine that they didnt give me v high dosage for the epidural oso
they increase my dosage cos they were not ready yet ... cos usually after gynae burst the waterbag still need to wait for 1 more hour ... and i had 3cm to go mar ... then suddenly within 10mins i was 10cm dilated so they oso caught off guard lor
but the most gan cheong was really my hubby lar ... cos suppose to can go for 1hr breakfast suddenly call to come back
see how lar ... my mum told me that my bro and sis v fast ... so she never take epidural oso ... only took when she gave birth to me heehee

yr mum's time got epidural available? my mum said during her time nothing at all... juz natural birth...
tink norm 1st one will be a bit tough, subsequent one will be much better right?
my gynae oso tell me not to worry, everything will decide at delivery ward as u wouldn't noe yr own pain threshold until tat moment...

teddybb, update us after ur visit.. i am going off to buy it with my mum.. think 1 dollar per pack per usage if i not wrong. i buy liao then let u all know..
seabreeze, hees.. gd gd, i think whichever one we choose, as long we keep the cord blood, it's an insurance for us too.. if i don't keep in the ptve, then i will opt to donate it out.. no pt throwig away. who knows it might be of gd use by others right??

anyone having itchiness at v area? seems like v area is widening, then the folds get sore when over-scratched. i get that sometimes, and i cant get to sleep
wonder if this is called vaginal infection, coz it's not exactly the inside v area...
*sorry for being so graphic*

seabreeze,
I also asked hubby for 'push prize' so that I will be motivated to go without epidural and he asked me what I want. But I don't knw what I want le. Maybe cash is a good idea...hmmm
But really man when I realised that the cost of epidural is btw 800 - 1000 (depending also on the ward you choose) my eyes popped out man!

thanks kome,
problem is, its perfectly fine now...gynae ever prescribed pessary to insert into v area, but it doesnt seem to help, coz the soreness is on the outside, not the inside of the v area.
nvm, i shall ask him later!

the lady from cordlife did explain that without the CNY promo, the signup fee is $1.5K+ (thereabouts), so with the deduction of FBI $450,so plus 10yr storage it will still work out to be more expensive than the current CNY promotion which is $2888 (10yr storage)

Hey there mummies..
Had a great time following the thread today.. many talk abt stemcells today learnt alot from mummies here, didnt know abt the 25k required if needed from private bank loh..that amount is very incredulous..
For me, also lazy to choose Cordlife or Stemcord.. Since my gynae (also Seabreeze's gynae) recommend Stemcord, then I go for Stemcord loh..
But if I were to go for public bank, i guess i would just donate even when there is 25k thing when I know that I most likely won't be able to use in lifetime(or the baby's cord blood aldy donated to someone else, which is most likely to happen)but to know that I'm doing a good deed about the possibility of able to save someone although the public bank is earning alot of money through this..
It's also like if you give something to someone, it sort of aldy belong to the person and what the person is going to do abt it, you can't control mah

It sounds like a yeast infection..if it is itchy. is it at the labia..?? labia is the folding skin on the sides of the vagina..
You may see milky liquid oozing out from vagina if its bad yeast infection..
Very bad case is have to take antiobiotics.. if only abit, eat yoghurt cos yoghurt has friendly bacteria and monitor first..
If really jialat, then get gynae to check loh..but monitor first loh if its not that bad cos if on tight budget, you have to pay for that consultation when just to ask gynae check.. or your next visit is coming soon? Then can ask your gynae shun bian check..
