HI LADIES.
Having just gave birth, I would like to advise all mummies here to go through all the listing on the confinement ladies in case you get a bad confinement lady. I had a bad experience with my confinement lady and do not wish any mummies here to encounter the same and waste your money.
Sorry to disturb but I just feel I really need to highlight to all mummies, thanks!

Hi ladies,
I'm going for natural w/o epidural and induction. Will be going thru pain for long hours..Heh.
My wish & hope;
Waterbag burst naturally,
see gynae and check cervix open already or not,
go home and monitor contractions, if still not open yet and if it is advisable to go back.
Target 8hrs labour with max just gas.
I need all the support & encouragment from hubby.
Maybe I sound crazy, but whats motherhood if there's no pain involved?
Wish me luck!!

Gals, any idea if we can use yoko-yoko? I've bad muscleache... Tks...
if u gals want to hv natural without epidural, towards last stage better walk more so that our muscle can contract better and dilation is faster..imagine ur waterbag burst and you are onie like 2cm dilation and u gotta wait till it is 10cm dilated before can start pushing..could take hrs leh..
not to scared anyone but my fren ever had 26hrs of birth.. it was so difficult that she blacked out, developed fever, etc. Haha
but hor my mom oso delivered 4 of us without epidural..keke.
Agree with Audrey, must wash hair, hv hearty breaky before going to hospital to pop out the kid..
janice, c-sect of course with epidural..i dun want GA cos i still wanna hear my bb cry and take photo with him in the labor room. I chose c-sect cos it's better for me with prev 2 c-sect alr..
eh, i hv long hair (slightly below shoulder), not very tall (1.65cm), shuld be wearing jeans bah..haha

Hey mummies, I'm checking on behalf for a fren for a doc that specializes in infertility. I saw a common name previously and want to recommend to this good fren. Please advise
jgwee,
I went through emergency csect for #1 under epidural. Was thinking that since I can't go through natural birth, going through csect witnessing the birth of baby is the next best thing.
This time round I'll see if I can go VBAC. Otherwise, I'm considering going through GA csect as epidural didn't work wonder for me due to me having scoliosis.

Victoria Beckham is splashing out £150,000 on a nursery for her baby.
The 36-year-old star is currently pregnant with her and her husband David Beckham's fourth child and the couple are sparing no expense for their new arrival, which according to reports is a girl.
A friend of the couple told Britain's Star magazine: 'She hasn't looked at a price tag for a single thing she's bought. If she wants it she
gets it, no questions asked!
'Believe me, that baby will be surrounded in luxury from the minute she, or he, comes home from hospital.'
The room is believed to have a 'bunny' theme, with the fashion designer planning to buy a £1,000 'French Bunnies' round cot with hand-carved woodwork from exclusive store Petit Tresor, as well as a matching nightlight and two lamps.
Victoria - who was said to have been told she was expecting a girl at a 16-week scan at the private Rivers Hospital in Hertfordshire, East England - has also ordered a rocking chair and cashmere robe from Petit Tresor, while she is snapping up blankets from Little Giraffe following a recommendation from friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
Even though she has hired a decorator, Victoria is overseeing the styling of the nursery, which is to have an 'old-fashioned theme with a shabby-chic feel'.
The source added: 'The decorator was pushing colours other than traditional girlie pink but she wouldn't hear of it. Victoria gave strict instructions that she wants the room to 'look like a little
girl lives there'.'

audrey, tks for the offer. that will be good. but i think u dun have to q. just reach there and tell them it is a group of 20. then q for 2-3 mins the say u need to go ladies, will be back. then just disappear. haha. so u dun hv to q so long. that is what i plan to do if i reach early. cos i cant stand stationary for long. else will hv giddy spells.
i forgot who asked re the room i marche. it is not really a room. it is an "enclosed" room with no window. but more privacy... i sat there before with group of 6..
syrah, just ask them where is the group of 20 woman sitting. they will guide u. then just look for the noisiet preggies group. i dun think it will be hard for u to find us. haha.. if latecomers dun mind can pm me your num. then when u reach just call/sms me. i can go and pick u up from the basement entrance.

jgwee,
Take epidural not as pain as contractions. It's all in the mind actually because when injecting epidural, we got to bend our knees and curve our spine like a baby. A very vulnerable position hence the 'scary' part. Too bad for me, the epidural was not 100% effective for me due to my scoliosis as I still feel contraction pains and the pain due to pushing down of baby in the OT during csect.
My #1 was born 3.46kg with head circumference of 36cm. I fail to dilate successfully after more than 8 hours after water bag is burst by gynae. Only dilate to a max of 4cm due to baby head tilted as well.

I had my #1 thru induced coz i was losing weight. Natural birth w/o epi. I only suffered severe pain for abt 40 mins and bb was ready to come out b4 my gynae reached. I walked a lot during my first pregnancy and i guess that's the reason why for the smooth delivery. Hoping for the same this time round. I showered twice and had hearty bf before going hospital bt ended up vomiting all my breakfast. Think the drip made me puked. So u ladies better check with yr gynae before having hearty bf.

wah, so fast we talked about delivery?
Though mine was long labour, short pain, i got goosebumps listen to your stories and thking #2 delivery hopefully wud be smooth.
my #1 was due, and doc wan to induce, cos no signs of contraction and not good to stay inside too long.
1am start to induce, 8am doc burst waterbag (thk got dilation), and say maybe 2pm then can deliver.....n left.
pain at tummy as contractions start, tolerate for 10 mins, n give up, cos the contractions come evry 30s.
epidural doc come 20 mins later, i already all tears.
I was lucky,took effect immed, BUT side effect of shivering, so ask nurse to reduce epidural dose...already reduce to MIN, but i still shiver. hhaa, the shiver comes, pain goes.
doc comes at 2 plus, ask me push, 3 times, n OUT (got vacuum).
the wait from 10am to 2pm was long, cos i can hear bb heartbeat from the machine N i v scare last min got anythg happen...

once waterbag burst cannot wait too long for delivery cos bb will be stressed out too..
elch, ur bb weight was good.. my boy was born onie at 2.7kg. Tiny n wrinkled..haha.
pillow > besides walking, can do some swimming too. Best to do it at last trimester cos if u start walking now, tendency our swelling feet will get worse! do some kegel exercise too.
3 weeks before delivery, drink some coconut water (once or twice a week) so that bb comes out cleaner [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] it works!

pillow,
the website is www.drugstore.com... you have to use vpost/comgateway/borderlinx to ship back to sg, but the savings is worth it. If you don't have a lot of things to buy, u can just join a spree. The good thing about buying on your own is Desitin is slightly cheaper cos sometimes they have promo like buy 2 get $1 off and it's limited to 2 tubes only. I am planning to stock up some stuff like nursing tea, lanolin cream, fenugreek when it's nearer to edd. Besides, I have a toddler so I buy his supplements online too.
I had my #1 delivery without epi because I heard that epi may delay your labour and sometimes it's associated with assisted delivery. Hence, I only took the gas and my labour lasted around 5hrs. The pain is like a super duper bad stomachache, and it actually gave me a phobia of labour. I am hoping this time will be better and faster than the last time. If anyone is interested, you can check out hypnobirthing courses. I think it helped me.

modish.bebe,
Yup. My boy's estimated weight was 3.1+kg just 1 day before birth but when he came out we're all shocked to know he weighs a hefty 3.46kg with a big head! Haha!
I suffered from non of the epidural side effect. More proves to show epidural doesn't work for me. Now I wonder if I should still opt for it this time round.

tsukushi> the one tat i heard is not just directly after delivery.. my frens told me that after epi, they became weather forecasters.. back starts aching once its going to rain.. even years after their delivery. and uncontrollable bladder for first few mths.. did anyone else have it?
