diamantz,
I read the hypnobirthing book and practise it a bit (with the cd). But always zzz before it ends.
But in the end, no chance to use it coz mine is a c-sect. I heard it will be more effective if you attend hypnobirthing classes besides just reading the book.
Sometimes when I am sad/tense, I still use the relaxation techniques...to escape into a safe world of my own.

jynnsan> oh! pls don't think that you've made me worry! nonono! i'm actually more concerned abt how you are handling it. basically, both my husband and i are quite "vigilant" about my medical stuff, so we aren't too worried on that score. plus i'm very well taken care of medically, so i'm not not too fussed. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] don't worry ok? i'm more worried about how you're coping!
pomme> i started eating that a few weeks back. um, hormonal intervention is like the MS is super bad (I think), or if there are other probs related to the MTBs hormone levels...it's just like how if TTC or in cases of contraception, usually, some hormonal treatment is used in western medicine...
hello mummies
anyone experiencing swollen ankles and bad lower back ache.
pls share what to do to lessen the pain and swelling.
I am taking loads of water and also using the Bengay for relief but sometimes the pain in my lower back
becomes unbearable to a point of i cant get up from the chair and walk.
i have tried cushion and even now i am using the osim cushion but it is of no use.

Badfifi,
Can share your "处方" with us? My mum is planning to buy the standard set from medical hall. Don't know reliable or not. Am also thinking if i should go visit "中华医院" at toa payoh.
Sasha28,
Swollen ankles sounds like water retention. Are you suffering from water retention now?? Heard it is good to prop up the legs at least 30 mins each night to help reduce the water retention. I am doing this whenever i can cos i have some even before pregnancy.
I got this anti-water retention gel from Loccitane (half price) and get hubby to massage my legs (prop up at 45 degrees) to push water from legs down to body.
BTW, are you sleeping on your back at night? It is recommended to sleep on the side as the baby is pressing down on back if we sleep on the back, more comfortable for mums

starluster > u join the course or just got the set? can share which course you took/ book you bought? do you need a lot of concentration? have you look at other alternatives? i think in a way it makes sense to take the fear away, but it's like psycho-ing yourself to believe that the pains are tools to help you deliver your baby... ;p
is it safe to get hubby to massage the lower back? just light kneading....
sasha swollen ankle is considered water retention? put your leg on pillow when you sleep? i think best to check with doc since its sounds quite bad.
sian. my colleague say my leg water retention liao...

Here's some information on swollen ankles and feet from Mayo clinic, a very reputable hospital in US.

Diamantz,
I borrowed this book from a friend.
http://www.amazon.com/HypnoBirthing-natural-approach-comfortable-birthing/dp/0757302661.
She went for classes, not sure if the CD comes with the book or from the class. Yup, needs a lot of practise and concentration.

Jynnsan:
If you are worried of the post natal or you are happy with her delivery skills / post natal care, then just change to a gynae with good reviews lor. No harm just make an appt with a new gynae, see if you like before cancelling appts with your old gynae. Anyway, just stay positive.

tiger lily> sorry ah, i actually don't know. honestly, i don't know much abt TCM, just that i've been taking TCM med most of my life. for the an tai med, i don't know but my principle is, even if it comes to common medicine that can be bought from medical halls (eg bazhen), should see the TCM dr 1st, cos not everyone will suit the prescription as is. for example, in my case, when i take bazhen, mine is slightly modified to suit my constitution, with some herbs added and others taken out...

badfifi> oic. then i think i will see TCM first before i take any chinese medicine. tks..
Hi AR,
Thanks. Is my 1st pregancy. I'm at my week 30th, I wonder if my BB will come out earlier than EDD date. I have asked my frens, I have decided TMC.
But this few days my BB kick quite frequent and hard kick too. At night can't sleep well bcos of his kick. Today so tired that i can't get up to work and took MC instead.

Adelynn and Sasha,
Glad you found the link useful. I have headaches at times too.
Diamantz,
The loccitane is called Anti-water retention gel. Not sure whether they still have it. Think more useful as massage gel, but sure helps in the kneading to push fluids pooled into the thigh tissues out into the lymphatic drainage system again. Got massage instructions inside too.
