Speaking of signs, today afternoon went for gynae weekly appt. Was 1cm dilated, had brown discharge after VE. Gynae advise me to walk more for higher chance of natural delivery. Had a very long walk with intervals of rest at shopping malls (Velocity, United Square etc) around Novena MRT. I think I shop for 4 hours plus. Now having cramps at around 15 mins intervals since 9pm but also having stomach aches, so feel very confused. Continue monitoring.......

Such a pretty girl, loh. You got a lot to worry when she hit her teens.
Sue... I'll try to make it for lunch yoga too provided I can slp well tonight cos gynae at 9am tmr.
My brownish discharge had stopped so now just waiting for contractions. Everyone's asking if I've delivered making me so can't wait also.

Congrats Loh! Confinement is crunch time for wifey and you. So if wifey snaps at you, don't take it personally. It's her raging hormones that making her frustrated and easily irritable.
Your girl is very alert! Not like mine... Always zzing away. I am tempted to call her sleeping beauty liao. Want to take photo also very difficult.
Congrats to Maggie mee too!
Edie, go walk walk about is really good for labour. Do so or continue with your lunch yoga class. Paiseh... But did you gynae mention anything about your discharge? If not mentioned to gynae, remember to inform during your next visit.

Anne, i tried doing a lot of deep squatting (squat like u are using the old school squatting toilet) the night before i went to induce. baby came out quite fast, in fact, i could feel her pushing herself out. the pushing till baby coming out was like less than an hour.
gynae and the nurses said the entire process was quite fast taking into consideration this is my 1st child. the nurses were going like... "u win u win" when the bb came out. i'm wondering if they were having some private bets on which mummy delivered first. haha...

Loh, yup I also agree. Yr girl got the looks. Congrats to u n enjoy fatherhood!
Anne, Mrs Heng, bx: I'm also waiting n waiting but no signs yet. When is it gg to b???
AR, u mean the pain can tahan w just gas? I scared halfway through I can't take it but too late for epi! N it's prob this fear tat make me wanna go for epi fr the start. I also got low threshold for pain, as in even injection I also dun dare to look n will look somewhere else to distract myself. But I think if I can go along w gas only, will b v proud of myself!! Hehe.

chillimum - U know what, i had a bad bad dream last nite. I dreamt dat i had beri bad contraction n bleeding away. Then i know i gonna give birth but when i turn to look at my hubby, he was playing mahjong!! Weird dream rite?..when i told my hubby abt my dream, he laff it off.
As much as i would like to try going w/o epi, I think dats quite impossible. Coz i cant even tolerate the pain for wisdom tooth extraction...nt to mention abt labour pain =(

Mrs Heng, I guess we only know wats our decision gg to b when we come to tat! Now I dun know how pain is it gg to b so I will try w gas first, n hopefully b still in time for epi shd I need it! N i have such low threshold of pain, I guess I shd b able to 'make it' in time lol! Really envy those mums who didn't take epi.
Haha think now all in our mind is when is bb gg to come. Start having wierd dreams cos of it. I also feel restless nowadays like just waiting for labor to happen.

mrs heng, i was also trying to aim for labour with epi... i went thro the entire induction without epi... from 8am till 2pm... the contractions were bearable for me, even the bursting of waterbag i was ok. gynae said i had high chance no need epi... but once the bb start descending and pushing herself out... i gave up... and asked for epi...
i had the epi administered at about 2.30 to 3pm... 3.30pm started the real pushing, and pops goes the bb just before 4pm. end up only enjoyed the epi for a while. not worth it. =P

chillimum - haha ya man! Hopefully we had underestimated ourselves. Who knows we will join the no epi mummies grp. Then can use the epi cost on more bb's items =D
Jsp - orh..tks! I tryin nt to stress up myself too much coz i know the real challenge is after labour!
Blueturtle - I feel dat u hv beri high threshold of pain. U r already brave enuff to tolerate the pain for so long.
My hubby dun seems to understand the lvl of pain for labour. So i told him to imagine his anus being ripped apart n his face juz go blank...lol

JSP,
Good to hear from you again. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I have been hiding in the aircon the whole day.
Other than eating confinement food and not drinking cold water.
I don't really have any confinement rules to stick with so life is relatively easy.
That's why you can see me here more often these days...hee
After you sacked the CL, did you manage to get any help?
shuyan,
Time passes so quickly! Can't believe you already celebrating bb's 1st mth....
Congrats! Another big milestone over.
What are you planning to do for the big day?
Anne,
like blueturtle mentioned, all the squats and yoga really helped.
I didn't do any exercise for #1 and for my 1st labour I spent more than 12 hrs.
Who would have thought my second one is so chop chop, 1.5hrs in the hospital only!
Any later I would have delivered in the car I think.

kcpq,
Is your fever is due to a common cold or engorgement/mastitis?
yes, u still can feed.
In fact it is better to keep feeding so that the antibodies continue to be given to your boy.
As a prevention, you can wear a mask when you are Bfing.
Paracetamol is fine for the fever and to relief pain.
You are doing well. Don't give up, keep trying. See a doctor for some BF safe medication if you r having other flu like symptoms.

bx,
I suppose if it is working fine there is no reason to replace it unless you are concerned for hygiene reasons ie. 2nd hand.
Yes, I will sterilise the breastshields together with the other parts. I use a medela freestyle and ameda.
oh MIL is here.. I feel like I am going through a broken record. Here goes the same question again and again...
kcpq,
You must be having engorgement, try to remove the milk with your pump/ hand expression before your breasts get inflammed (ie. mastitis)
Once your nipple/areola soften after removing some milk, the best method is to get your boy to help you relief the engorgement by latching.
Now is not the time to avoid him, now is the time to make sure he helps you!
Have to try to find some way to KO your MIL and get to your boy somehow or your bf journey could just end here.
Don't treat it lightly, engorgement can aggravate and result it mastitis, then you may have to take anti-biotics or worse if develop into breast access have to go hospital and drain the milk.
Now is the most trying period. Hang in there...Don't give up.

hihia anne..
nope i wun agree to induce yet..
will try the non-chemical methods of induction come w41...
i.e more squats, more walking up stairs, nipple stimulation, rolling on exercise ball, aromatherapy to induce uterine contractions and finally followed by VE / sweeping of membranes by gynae
that's if water level is ok and bb hb is fine so far...
