its actual the personal threshold for pain de...
one of my friend.. super super small size.. give birth to 5.. all natural no epi..
dun think or hearsay too much.. dun scare urself.. really... cause most of the time, u walk out of the hospital thinking.. how come its not the same way as i thought? i shud have.......
jus take whatever that comes. learn what are the options u have but dun commit yet.
dun forget, our body does great wonders. soon it will be even releasing stuff that is like a pain killer to us... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
i always tell myself.. my ah ma can do it, how come i cannot? haha.. true enuff, the pain was bearable (to me at least).. i was jus shock with all the first times like.. water bag burst, pushing in delivery ward, using laughing gas, pressing the red button, checking for dilation..
in fact, checking for dilation is more pain that delivery lor! haha..

hehe thanks girls. guess, if God wills, i will go for natural without epi.
ica, one of my colleagues also describe it as menstrual cramps. hopefully i will be able to endure it.
i've heard that having a doula helps but engaging one is like ex.

cherry.sue -- dun worry la.. the contractions are intermittent.. its not like pain thru out.. jus the the resting time will get shorter and shorter.. but before u know it, u alr pass the stage liao..
actually, my hubby was very touched when he saw me pushing and delivering.. and its really a very precious moment.. treasure it.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

whoa serene, you really put me at ease. hehe will remember what you say. the past week, i've had two friends who gave birth - thus the reason why i'm so antsy, hehe.
thanks a lot for your assurance :>
thanks a lot for your assurance :>
cherry.sue -- cause i was like anyone of u.. scared of a lot of things.. but then.. after that, i realise.. actually, positive mind helps alot.. i carried the.. "ok, im ready, what now?" mindset into the hospital..
after the whole thing, while dr was stitching me, i remember i turn to hubby and asked a qns that i dunno why i asked.. cause it was a still birth delivery.. i asked.. "hows baby?"
at that moment, when i heard dr and hubby telling me, everything's good.. my heart jus felt so good and tears were welling. its not because of the loss.. its because i know everything's alright.
my bb was bigger than expected.. then i asked dr if next delivery would be the same.. he pat on me and say.. "yes, if u can endure this, u can safely deliver naturally next time also"
that kinda.. "first step into motherhood"... haha.. super wei da de lor
sun_tan -- depends on the stage of checking.. initially, missy or dr will use their finger to check and kept repeating "sorry sorry" cause its a disrespectful behavior.. then they will try to "help" the dilation..
from 0-3cm, its the longest duration liao.. means.. it can take days for u to dilate to 3cm even.. but once u hit 3cm.. it will speed up extensively.. 3-8cm can be like.. within 2 hours or faster..
when i was abt 8cm dilated, i was in the delivery ward with the leg rest and wide open.. haha.. then missy will train u to do proper pushing.. and shun pian check ur dilation (normally to see if they can see the head or not)..
each checking, they will let u know how much u are dilated.
when u are pushing, dun make noises, dun kiu ur face.. all strength and energy must be converted to the tummy area. once u make noises or facial expressions.. then ur energy and strength will be diversified everywhere..
i gotta learn this from a snr nurse who came to visit me during my delivery.. diff nurses teach diff.. at least i got a indian nurse to teach.. she wasnt very clear.. but when the snr nurse came.. she got the indian nurse out and she sit in front of me to guide me.. because of that, i pushed out within 3 lonnnng pushes..
oh ya, each push, try to endure and tahan ur push.. meaning.. breathe out slowly and consistently.. my per push is about 8 secs or so.. this will help a lot in ur delivery..
mai kan cheong.. thats very impt too!

oh ya, my bb boy was breeched at the point of delivery. i was worried that he would ask me go csect.. but he told me.. "i am confident i can do it."
and true enuff.. bb came out successfully but with his butt out first.. so imagine the "pain" i was suppose to be feeling..
but like a lot of mommies say.. "before u know it, its over le.."

lol..
its a maternal instinct.. all of u have it de.. bring it out and face it bravely.. carrying a bb in ur tummy is a great responsibility. the moment u are preg, this duty to brave thru all storms is on u.. its not only about giving the bb the best.. its about protecting the baby till ur very last breath.
i carried julius till i was almost due le.. my bond with him is very strong and its a miracle.. many pple were amazed how i could play with him and how he could respond to me when we had no way to communicate.. lol..
at that point when dr tell me "sigh, im sorry, theres no heart beat" i cried very loud in the clinic.. but i know theres more things i need to do than jus crying. even thou no life liao, but, i still gotta make sure i deliver him properly and fulfill my responsibility as a mother.
im glad i didnt avoid, i didnt opt of any csect or any sort to avoid anything.. cause, going thru the process of delivery is a reminder of what i went thru to protect this little life and how my responsibilities.
so for bb celeste, i want to do it naturally and feel it and remind myself, from this day, i am not only a mother, but i need to know what i shud do as a mother.. cause i brought this life to earth.
sun_tan -- dun worry.. remember this.. deep long breaths, transmit all energy to tummy.. stay calm..
when u are the only one in control, u need to be calm..
there would be many voices (nurses, dr, and hubby) but ultimately, u will only seem to be able to hear the voices whom u trust most. for me, it was gynae and hubby.. hubby was doing a great job so gynae didnt talk much.
keep thinking.. a bit more, a bit more..

dun worry la.. all of u are great mommies.. everyday, i see all of u looking for things that u can provide for your babies.. even thou its ex, but u ladies still try ur best to get it.. all because of the child in u.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
think of it this way, its a sign of responsibility..
everyone will walk thru this motherhood differently.. some may have hiccups here and there.. but then.. think again wor..
do u have that much courage before u were preg? initial fears are normal.. scared of delivery, pain and worried that u dunno what to do.. but ultimately, its the maternal instincts that gave u all the courage to face them all..
some of u may be mindful abt ur weight (suppers and late night cravings) or diet before pregnancy.. but when u know u are preg.. u jus want to eat well to make sure ur bb is growing well.. lol.. we are alr making sacrifices le..
everyone is brave and strong here de.. im sure men cant do that.. haha..
once u prepare ur mind and body for the new arrival.. u will enjoy and learn the process more than just suffering the pain.

Serene: Your story is very touching and u are a brave woman.
I once read somewhere and what this person wrote actually meant something to me. It's just a simple sentence. "Tough problems dun last but tough pple will".
I am sure we are all tough pple and we will manage watever is in for us especially during childbirth.
babycoco: Haha.. ya.. i love to eat. but now go HK, won't it be hot?

Good morning ladies.
Serene: Ya lo.. I easily spot if i overstrain myself. Like on Monday, when i go Taka BB fair and shop on my own, I walk without stopping for about 3hrs, at night, I spot again. If go HK, beside eating, of cos wanna shop for BB things also even though I have gotten alot of things le. Hehe!!
Actually was thinking of going Malacca.. nothing much to do.. can eat. But hubby going drinking and clubbing with his colleagues on 1st Apr, so i dun really trust him to drive the next day. And I really dun like to rush too much in my condition now. Like to take it slow and easy.
Sun_tan: Cruise is a good idea but hubby say very ex and got nothing to do. Not worth the money.
Maybe just consider Malaysia.

Hi May.
I have a baby list which I had given to mummies here before. I can send you for you to take a look. It's actually from my colleague.. very detailed.. but u need not follow everything she wrote there. Just a guideline for you only. You can PM me your email address and i send a copy to u.
For wide neck bottle, i understand that it is more closely resemble mother's breast, as they require a wider nipple which facilitates a latch more similar to nursing than a slimmer bottle nipple. This is what the salesgirl at the Pigeon counter tell me.
