Morning ladies!
ashley> what's ur erm email? or u want me to pass u the contact tonight? he's at/ near blk 492.
wendypoo> dont worry ok, no such thing as bb too big. health is most impt. *hugs
blueginger> see u tonight!
taurus> yup, id is interior designer but i can jus ask him call the relevant contacts for u. glad that u feel better. the salon is at jurong west. i don't think it's a special price
depends more on ur hair length. my husb's cut was $12. let me know if u want the contact. my dh also sometimes can get on my nerves. so dont think so much ok, sometimes they also beri stressed so we try to 'forgive' them when they feel guilty, it'll be PAY BACK TIME! lol.
momoko> how are u feeling? don tink so much abt ur mil ok. *hugs.
OK, MOST EXCITING NEWS OF THE DAY!}
My friend has given birth after 15 hours of labour @ 40 weeks and 1 day!!
2am> waterbag burst. woke up and went back to sleep.
4am> bigger gush of water. woke husb up and they rushed to mt a. (was good timing cos they stay at bedok, so at that hour no cars)
took in entonox, didn't work, took in 2 jabs of pethidine, din work. dr told her she should deliver ard 1 - 2 pm but becos she bore the pain and din scream, cervix took very long to dilate. in the end she settled for epidural ard 2 pm. dr scold her say took one jab of pethidine din work should take epi liaos and she would have given birth!
delivered ard 5+pm to a baby girl weighing 2.81kg after pushing for an hour!!
she told me she thinks that walking helped. i am horrified lei cos i told her if walking helped. i can't imagine how long labour will be if she din walk! she also told me the epi din hurt as much compared to the contractions, this comin from someone who told me she had high tolerance for pain pre-preg. i am SO SCARED NOW LO!
i am so happy for her
. she told me she really did hate her husb during delivery ward for causing her all this pain (for AYUKIE 
) but didnt have energy to scold him liaos. her husb also super cute she said very blur during delivery until the dr asked him, u don wanna take photo ah!
hope u all enjoy my friend's lil birthing story. it'll be our turn very soon!
i should be dropping by to see her later on my way to/ from apptmt since she's at mt a. erm, any pang tang abt that? i don intend to touch/ carry her bb of cos. any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Jane,
Your friend is so fortunate. I had a long labour for my no 1. 6am in the morning waterbag broke.wait til 8pm then contraction comes in 12midnight only dilate 4cm so take epi til 4am the next day only dilate 8cm, no progress until 7am. In the end, doc said too long so have to go for C-sect. No. 1 was borned at 3.66kg.
I really wondering how many woman can give birth naturally for the first time with baby more than 3.5kg. This time I tried to control my food intake so that I won't have a baby more than 3.5kg.

Jane,
I'm dg nat again. Last time after birth, I dropped 9kg at once. within a mth, can wear all my clothings.
Your friend labour not consider long, everyone and every labour are different. I have friend who gave birth within 15mins and also friends who waited 48hrs. All different. But I heard waterbag broke will have long labour.
I'm not sure abt visiting friend, but I visited my friend who gave birth on 09.09.09. I'm not the pan tang type.
Sporty,
received your msg. See all of you tonight.
WOw, so many of you tonight. I properly have a tough time rem all your name now that my memory isn't very good. hahaha
Gals,
Are you excited for the new arrival? My no. 1 just last year, but I'm still very excited for the new arrival.

Morning ladies! Looking forward to the dinner gathering tonight! (think I said this many times already..LOL)
Taurus, your girl has pretty good EQ at this young age. I mean she can actually be ok with her dad's outburst and be so cool. Tell your hubby to control his outbursts in front of your girl...cos he is setting a very bad example for her! I think our hubby really same pattern. I also didn't know my hubby got quick and that bad a temper before we got married. Sigh...anyway, no one is perfect la and as women, we tend to be more soft-hearted and will think of the nice side of the person/marriage. Just leave him alone and let him cool down whenever he is mad lor. Hope your toilet issues get resolved asap.
Jane, I'll get the contact from you tonight yeah?
Regarding the delivery process / during labour, did anyone cried due to pain, too emotional, etc?? I'm a crybaby lor and scared that I will cry when the pain is too much for me...that will be super embarassing!

morning ladies,
I've been getting in the middle of the nite, not really for the pee, but cos sweaty n belly itchy.
Other than air con, any good ways to relief? Or it's our body trying to work out?
I went to antenatal class and know that while in the delivery room, no food allowed. But water?
So can I eat b4 I go to the hospital? Really need energy to tahan if over 10 hrs...

kimfin,
went for antenatal class & they told me the same thing. No food allowed once admitted. So it's best to have full meal b4 checking into hospital. If hungry, they will give u glucose drip.
Am wondering if one drink chicken essence b4 ck-in, then if choy labour very long, then chicken essence no effect when one reached 2nd stage & start pushing? worse, cos drink chicken essence can't get to sleep during 1st stage. any comment??

Goood Morning!
How is everyone doing after the weekend?? Pheww..finally got down to washing the bb clothes last nite coz i am thinking of packing my hosp bag already...
Ventolin/Sabultamol: Muscle relaxant. Coz i am asthmatic so i take these 2 drugs for treatment to relax and open up the airways. Dr told me b4 that if we inhale it (which i do), den it helps to open airways and relax tense muscles there. So if u take it orally, den should b to relac ur muscles so decrease contractions.
Momoko: wat is CTG for? * Think positive* =)
Ayukie: Take care gal...Hope Ur dr gives u mc or HL to rest at home...

Sporty n Rue,
cos if gg for normal delivery but if last min need emergency op, then might be an issue.(but was thinking if by the time, long time passed)
So if drink chkn essence, at least better than food..
Went bugis, buy the longan red date ingredients...
But did not buy the entire package cos the ginseng and duno wat herb super exp, n if breasfeeding, I want to avoid herbs too.
Anyone here who brewed the tea with the following ingredients: longan, lycee, red date, black date and Nan date (nan zao)?

Ashely,
I get emo too. The first time I see the scan at 3 or 4 mths, where the shape of the bb is very clear, tears rolled...tears of joy.
Now, looking at bbs in the nusery during hospital tour, I also v "gan dong"..so I cant imagine seeing my little one soon. wah, time passes fast, but also now is the crucial waiting time...
hmm, i duno if wan my hub to hold mirror for me to see the progress of the bb head during dilation?
From the video shown in my class, the bb is so cooperative!

raerae, i agree with jane...the energy came from mother's love lor! heheh... i didnt scream or cry during labour, i did moan abit la...cuz during active labour, i was bz managing the contraction pains rather than scream/cry...cuz no time to do tha lor...
jane, no prob
rue, not everyone need glucose drip...i didnt have tha the other time...i guessed u will need tha if u going for epidural/induce?! not sure also...
kimifin, u wun see bb's head during dilation unless its 10cm when the bb is coming out la...by then hor, i think u will feel damn pain and managing the pain rather tha see the head thru the mirror...heheh
ayukie, i still think u shd go on HL sooN!!
