Adrienne: Mucus plug is not a true sign of labour, it could take 1 day, days or weeks before true labour is near. I don't have contractions yet. Just that my lower back is v.suan and feeling tired.

Porky: Nope not going to admit yet. Also didn't call Dr Adrian since no contractions/water bag burst. Don't want to waste time in hospital n paying. More comfy at home.

Cheyanne: Thanks

Xue: Yup a mucus plug is a jelly-like substance with blood. But some people's mucus plug is colourless.

Thanks goodness my mucus plug came out when I was in the toilet. So no mess. ;p

re. full month
I also heard lot of gd reviews for neo gardens.. maybe will stick to that.. haha.. sound so early to decide.. but v fast, 1 wk already passed since birth.. heehee
 
ling,
which one did u go to for ur boy's chinese name?
i was told of one in toa payoh quite cheap, but dun have the details
 
juju, i went to this shifu at clarke quay one.. i changed my name last time.. find that he is not bad.. he charges $50 by explaining the baby's sheng cheng ba zhi. But he will not gv u the name specifically like what you long zhi does.. he will only gv u a list of 2nd n 3rd characters tt suit baby and ask the parents to mix n match.

hi mums
i remembered baby andrea's head circumference n length alrdy!

head circumference - 32cm
length - 49cm

baby andrea is now in special care nursery because the doctors want to monitor her heart and blood pressure..

so i have no chance to feed her except during visiting hours (i'm considered a visitor - omg) so later at 7pm i'm going down to let her latch on. i don't have the luxury of keeping her by my side n i cried when i saw her lying there alone..

but doctor's review was she's doing well, just going to monitor for a day more, den if all goes well, will push her back to normal nursery to be with me..

i went thru 28 hours of labour from moment of 1st induction..

after 23 hours of labour pain, i was shivering n almost collapsed cos i only relied on gas.. i was only 1cm dilated n could not dilate further.

gynae gave me 2 choices

1. c section
2. epidural so that i won't collapse if i want natural birth - to numb everything so that my cervix can dilate faster

so i had to take epi after 23 hrs of bearing with the pain..

suffered frm side effects of epi, shivering non stop the moment it was administered.

after epi was administered, in less than 6 hrs i was fully dilated and was told to push.

had no strength cos i was in pain for so many hrs.. another side effect of epi - vomiting - i had to vomit before pushing and the moment i vomited, i felt andrea's head coming out and the midwife screamed for the nurses because no one was prepared i would VOMIT her out haha!

gynae was not in time to deliver baby andrea - midwives and my husband did it. no episiotomy cos again, gynae wasn't there. she left once she burst my waterbag after epi was done.

had 4-5 stitches and the pain of urinating n using alcohol to clean the wound is NOTHING compared to labour pains.. 28 long hrs of it.

thank God for saving me as my BP was going haywire before epi was done.

i felt lousy that i could not survive without epi, but looking back, without it, andrea would be in distress and the induction would have flopped.

doesn't matter i don't get to total breastfeed her for now, all i ask is for her to come back to mummy and discharge from special care nursery.

broke my heart seeing her in there..

mums,
u can do it. and epi saved my life. saved andrea's life. and epi had to be administered while keeping still - i was haywire, shivering, hyperventilating and really if it wasn't for God, my epi would have failed as well as i couldn't keep still.

don't give up even though epi has to be administered - it saved both mum n child.

thank u all for ur well wishes..

upon seeing andrea, all the pain was worth it.
