Muffintop, yeah, got contractions, but mine is BH contraction aka practice contractions only, not the real thing yet.
I am also waiting and waiting. I asked my baby to faster come out so that I don't have to explore other option. Then my hubby says maybe baby is not ready, let him come out when he is ready. Then I say ok, baby, take your time. Then my hubby say don't confuse baby, sometimes ask him to come out faster, sometimes ask him to take his time. So we have been telling baby to ask him to come out when he is ready. Hopefully soon.

I went to see GP today cause I was sweating like mad even though I slept in aircon room with temperature 18 degree without blanket. My hubby was wrapped in blanket. GP says I have a cold and gave me MC. No wonder I feel so tired these few days. But I am still sweating alot even after taking medicine (but my hubby forbid me to on aircon upon learning that I have cold). Is it normal to keep on perspiring?

8am ate breakfast
9.30am Gynae checked for dilation. Only 2cm!!! contractions only 5min interval n not intense
he decided to induce the contraction with drip.
11am super intense contractions and bb is distressed by it! Midwife suggested to drop the drip coz i will need to go for C sect if bb too distressed
11.15am on laughing gas to cope with the contractions. dilated only 5cm!
12pm decided to put me back on drip tog with laughing gas..
1pm too goggy to concentrate anymore n can feel the push effect but not fully dilated yet.. cant bear.. screaming for epi.. nurses said ok.. but bluff me coz bb already at the position.
1.30pm gynae came...
1.39pm 3 push n bb Kayden is out! I was so goggy that i cant even open eyes to see him when they put him in front of me...

congrats Ling! so was natural w/o epi bearable? luckily u didn't take the epo cos another 39mins bb kayden arrived ya.
915, good to see u here. will u be doing csection?
re hot weather,
i am sitting under the aircon directly now and when i sleep, it's aircon plus fan.. my husband tried to persuade me when it was a bit more cooling last night to just sleep under fan. i was emmitting so much heat that i just use my hot palms and leave it on his arms. he buay tahan the heat and have to switch on the aircon for me. haha.
confinement can have aircon, i heard, just no fan. but i dun wan bb to sleep in aircon if possible, cos dun want that to be a habit for him.. how ah?

Ling,
Thanks for sharing ur birth story.. sounds like mine.. esp where cervic didn't dilate!! Mine was 20hr in labour for #1..
Tearing during birth:
Tearing can be either a natural tear or some gynae would do episiotomy (cut for you).
If you take a pc of paper, u tear it (natural tear) and u cut it using scissors. Try to 'glue' it using water. U see which one 'glue' better. The resuld is natural tear will 'glue' better, hence, meaning that natural tear will heal faster than episiotomy.
btw, I dreamt tt I was admitted last nite! So funny..

Ling:
there was like 5hr stagnant for the dilation..even tho was on induction..
Nect birth u can try without drugs liao! (what I did for #2)
Epi:
If the dosage is too high, you will not be able to feel it when contractions kick in when u ready to push.. so midwives or gynae will have to tell you when to push!
Jamie:
Tea contains Caffine.. hence, too much is no good... however, how to explain when pple in china drink tea like plain water loh??
Air-con:
I also start sleeping in air-con arnd 24degree with fan on.. Will see weather when during confinement loh..
Swallon feet:
I had very bad swell last wkend.. till the 10 toes can't even tough the floor! I tried sleeping on my back wif bloster lifting my foot, but, very painful for me to lay on my back! This morning the swell comes back when reach office.. think I will stop sleeping on back le..
