hey mommies,
did a quick glance on this thread, no time to back track to archives.
Congrats to Asura! You are really brave, esp when your hubby is not even around. I would be crying buckets if I were you. Salute!
Wintertime,
Happy Birthday. So nice. BB Wilber is your giant birthday gift.
Maple,
I posted my bill from MT AL (should be fairly similar lah) a couple of days back. I'm afraid you have to back track to find it cos I don't have time to search. Paiseh, bb waking up any moment liao, can see from my bb monitor that she has managed to wiggle her little hand out of the tight swaddle. Should be sometime last week. It';s a very very detailed breakdown including info on how much was claimed etc etc.
(2) GA basically means you go to sleep and wake up several hours later, with bb already extracted meanwhile. Hubby cannot go in.
I went for epi (but apparently gynae said he chose a diff type of epi, much finer needle. Regional epi or something like that. Anesthetist administered it on my spine, with me sitting on the operating theatre, legs hanging down the table and arms hugging a big pillow. Am so glad I chose this because it gave me the pleasure of witnessing the birth of my bb, together with hubby. A magical moment which I will cherish in my mind forever.
Not sure about CA with spinal ...
(3) mine was given by my gynae clinic so it is much cheaper than taking from hospital. Heard from some mommies that you can buy from guardian/ It's an abdominal wrap for post C-sec and other abd surgey. Gynae wrapped me up immediately at end of operation.
By the way, be care with the size. Cos I am super small size yet gynae gave me a L sized binder. Thought he made a mistake. Turned out to be perfect for me post op as I have o wwear it low ... about hip area to cover the wound.
alamak bb crying already
BB here I come ..... milk milk coming
