ahNah, I think hubby's support very impt leh. That time when I'm admitted to KKH. My hubby was came after my injection for stenghten of BB lung injection. I'm so scare and loss loh. When he arrived, the doc did the insert of needle for the drip for me, hubby gave me his finger to grab, even though I shouted loudly during the insert but I feel safe and secured cos my hubby is beside me.

Ednique : I've pain at my pelvis bone too and yes, i cannot lift up my leg anymore. i can feel that my below like got dilate abit. i've been asking my gynae and he keep saying its normal and ask me don walk too much can already. -_-
Ednique,
that is serious. You better rest well.
I ever did ask my gynae but he said it's normal. I already have this pain for almost 2 weeks and i am planning to do massage if she can push my womb up. Sometimes i do feel that my baby can be quite low but luckily she is active enough to move about inside my tummy.

ahNah,
I also dare not see bb come out.. I saw the video and it freaks me out. It's good to have hubby by my side cos more moral support. And he can help massage the back or distract me when in pain.
White lady,
I dunno how hard is breatfeeding cos this is my first child. But i think i will try my best loh. When we attended the antenatal class,the trainer said it's good to latch on cos it's the best way to get milk flowing and also prevent engorgement.

Nature_Lover> my #1 popped abt a mth earlier. so this time rd, my EDD is 4 Aug, and already prepared for bb to come early... Jul, guess don't dare to move liao even if bb not pop yet. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
my bb not only hiccup, but sometimes the "kick" moves from left to right, and going to cut open my tummy like that. still like 1st pregnancy, feel like having an alien living inside my womb. haha... everytime wanna show my #1 the funny movement of the tummy, bb stops moving. seems like playing with us. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
ahNah> hehe, i thought can play some funny music or what to shock the baby so hiccup will stop. just joking lah.
ann> you have gastric problem? for me, if i eat some spicy or "banned" food, my stomach will be bloated and i will start to burp. you take care. hope you feel better soon.
Fumiko> my old tommee tippee sterilizer, which i used for #1 like 3 years back, has the same problem. it's common problem even for electric kettle/hotpot, due to the impurities in our tape water. last time i did follow the descale method as described in the manual but guess not completely cleaned. recently took it out, tried both citric acid and white vinegar methods, just failed to remove those white dots (hate it coz the metal plate is also hidden under the plastic base like most of the brands). finally i bought a new pigeon sterilizer for #2 at the motherhood fair.
backaches:
stretching does help. thanks bakaholic for the info. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Ednique> wah, i thought your pain was gone after the "Sengkak" massage? the pain at my right "pelvic joint" area is not that bad these few days after i try to do some stretching. but will still check with my gynae when i see him next Tues. during my last visit, he already prescribed me the med. to prevent early contraction since i gave birth my #1 abt a mth earlier than EDD. you take care ya. have a good rest at home.
winnie> guess that's why all maternity pads emphasize on soft cotton top bah.
jascmy> MC given is really depends on the gynae one. my #1 time, i had 2 colleagues kena chicken pox, and my gynae immediately gave me 1 wk MC to stay home. another 2 pregnant colleagues in my office also notified their gynaes but no MC was issued. their gynaes didn't even ask them to take leaves and avoid going to office.

dreymin> hehe, coz i got updates fr. Metro mah. but still find it too expensive for such a design/look.
ah_bee> why put over your tummy? the pillow is to apply some pressure on the chest of bb to give them the secure feeling lah... put on your tummy will only cover the light to your bb leh.
will msg u in fb for meeting up. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
bakaholic> i bought Pigeon now coz its metal plate is exposed, and if necessary, some gentle scrubbing still possible, unlike other brands.

ahNah> yaloh, you need to company your wife in the labor rm to fight together with her lah. you don't need to watch how the bb is out if you don't wish, just that after the bb is born, the nurse will carry the bb with blood ard the body and show you. telling you where is the birthmark and mole before they "label" the bb...
i have downloaded a documentary by Discovery Channel abt baby in the womb, guess includes the delivery process too. played the part I to my #1 that day but have yet seen the part 2. probably watching one of such documentary will prepare yourself better for the labour rm with your wife later? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Purelyz> glad that your son has recovered.
wah, you still can remember so well your #1 delivery. salute! i only remember that before my gynae arrived the nurse gave me laughing gas, and told me not to push hard. after my gynae arrived, i just follow his instruction on breathing and pushing until the bb was out. will try your method this round.
how come so early your gynae can tell your this delivery will be faster?
Eeyore> do take care. it seems like the kids nowadays are taking turn to fall sick. can't imagine with #2, how busy will we be just take care of the kids if they fall sick.
you still can take photos and video ah? so good. i remember that time the machine measuring my contraction beeped so loud and made me more nervous, till my hubby found it irritating and asked the nurse to turn it softer.

Bakaholic> yes, it's good to latch the bb on. in the labour rm, the nurse will ask if you want to bf then will bring the newly born bb to the breast to try to "latch on". i remember it was funny to me, coz just after the hard pushing and i was so tired, the bb's eyes not really open yet, the nurse just pushed his lips towards the breast...
but since my #1 was born nearly a mth earlier, he has prob. latching on till i think 3 mths old. so before that i have been expressing with the breast pumps loh. engorgement also boh bian, found other ways to solve.

ahNah,
my labour was spilt into 2 stages; induced labour of 11 hrs and later emergency C-S.
through it all my hubby was around and i was thankful he gave me support and we were both emotional when my son was born.
he being there was v important; he is the father of the child.
aso he ever told me, seeing the whole process he treasures me even more.
the bonding between a couple after gg thru childbirth is rather amazing.

ahNah> i have pm'ed your my no. before the motherhood fair right? you didn't get it? ok, will sms you again later.
ann> colic... i thought this term only applied to bb? you take care ya.
jascmy> ic, so that's hospitalization leaves loh. maybe can ask for more MCs fr. gynae to rest at home.
pekkle> i used Ameda before. it's good for its price range, very portable too. but can't really last loh. i used it for like a year for my #1. now already spoilt, so getting new bp for #2.

jascmy> which brand of maternity pad you bought is stick one? i think last time the one i bought also loop but forgot the brand liao. still thought of using my usual sanitary pad, but now think again, just standby 1 pack better.
ahNah> agree to dreymin. it's not only the bonding between the couples (which we already know you treasure your wife a lot), but the involvement of father in taking care of the bb will also be more, and so the family bond is stronger.

pekkle> ya, avent bottles are all wide-neck while medela & ameda are both standard. what u can do is use the standard bottles to store the milk and the avent bottles just for feeding your bb loh. for bp, i have ordered avent isis duo (or twin electric) fr. Amazon US, coz many of my friends have been recommending Avent manual bp to me since my #1 but i found it exp. furthermore that time i was unsure how long i would like to bfing also. so the Ameda bp just nice to fit my budget and needs.
jascmy> can pm me? in case i miss your post. thx. ya, all no wings, and i remember for my #1, the soft cotton top actually is not as absorbing well as my usual sanitary pads, tat's why i don't like to use one. i think i didn't even finish 1 pack before i switched to my sanitary pad.
