tres,
you can do it without epi yeah. My #1 was 3.35kg without epi too. #2 was fast as she was smaller, at 2.7kg, so 1 push she is out. Hoping this round wull be short & fast. #1 took me 3hrs, #2 took me around 1hr30-2hr... then everyone telling me #3??? 45mins! Wa shiok la I don mind. But where got so fast....
Fenugreek... I saw GNC having promotion now. Still thinking should buy 1 bottle to try out first. Some of my friends say effective but some say no. Depends individual. I still believe in drinking more soup, water & enough rest.
Confinement. My mum say 40days is the best. But for me after 30days I slack liao. E most will avoid cold drinks, seafood within 3months. Those mummies who do not have enough tonic to 'bu' can do it within 3months.
Please believe in confinement. Perhaps now cannot see any effects... but somehow 6months later or even few years down the road.. all those signs will start showing lo. Like both my SIL are good example. They do not believe in confinemet & 1st bb, end up now complain here pain there pain this & that...worse is on lower back pain due to epidural. How true epidural can cause all these, still no scientific prove..
But since if many are getting a CL,just try let CL do. I heard best is can lay down 1st 7-10days to prevent back aching. Other than eating, breastfeeding... just lay down.
Massage lady,
I felt should book early & get a confirmation. I informed my massage lady I may due early and she say already stand by. I felt a good massage lady should have proper planning & not just take any jobs that come & QC them if cannot do it.. just my own opinion.
Angelia,
Mybe you can reduce carbo food? Take more soupy ones & fruits vegetables? Hard to control I know how its like. Lately I been craving for alot of food too & tummy like bursting. Gaining more weight now rather than from the start.
