Thanks for sharing mummies! I've a better idea on epi and laughing gas now
But kind of scared to go through labour. Hope our labour pain doesn't last long!

for my #1.. b4 EDD..gynae already asked if i wan epi..told him yes..on the day of admission..told nurse to get the anaesthetician to be on standby..i endure for 2 hrs after gynea break my waterbag..b4 i ask for epi....my epi was administered at 10am++ and i delivered closed to 5pm..no vomitting for me..only thing is after dat..i had difficulty sleeping on my back for quite some time
jingles,
Yup, nurses will usually know gyane's preference. For my #1, nurses told me my gynae prefers mothers to be able to feel some of the contractions and be able to push better. So they did not increase the epi dose when I requested for it at 8-9cm dilated.
For the episotomy, gynae injected local anethesic before cut and sew. So I didn't feel any pain, but I did have some sensation during the sewing part.
I didn't have any bad experience with the epi. The doc admistering it was great, came withing 10mins of my request for epidural, no pinch or pain during the administering, no shivering etc. But did puke once. I was sitting up cross legged and carrying my daughter once they got me to my room and walking as per normal they next day when catheter was removed

i had epi csec.
So far... so good. Did not suffer from any epi side effects.
Throughout the op, i was "scolding" my gynae. Say if baby is not boy, he have to get baby a set of pink clothes. Or if baby less than 4kg (i had to do csec coz gynae say baby too big, ask me dun hero try natural), i will not pay him coz he made me go thru csec etc.
But yes... really felt like meat on the operating table.

Jingles,
Yup, at tmc I did tell my gynae i wanted to try to go without epi. I didn't think the steriod jabs were painful, so my gynae's opinion was i havd a pretty good threshold for pain. But i ended up wit an induced birth. After 6 hrs of waiting ard for cont ractions to hit and 3 hrs of induced pain and only 1.5cm dilated, i threw in the towel.

Serene: I can't view the pic leh. Think it's too big. Possible to resize? Sorry for the trouble
Birdbrain - they will still administer epi when 8-9cm dilated? I am v worried I can't rush to hospital in time.. Friends laugh when they realized I meant not in time for epi
they thot I meant not in time to deliver! Told hubby tis time once I feel contraction we will chiong to hospital though it's only 10mins car ride away!

kekekek if they pass to me to cut i not sure if i still have the strength to cut or not
hkbaby
i guess the administer of epi will depends on alot of factor...if 8-9cm but if anaesthetician is expert and spinal is clear and ez for him to spot, administering and kicking in of epi effect is quite fast....so actually is depends on scenario tat day and how expert the anaesthetician is

jingles,
Hahaha, attempted to... but still end up with epi. The contraction pains were actually bearable (just grab hold of the bed rail and squeeze with all your might), but it's the fact that I know that got at least 5-6 hours more to go before can be fully dialted... that's when I decided to get epi... relaxed prob can dilate faster =p

so fast move onto delivery...
my gynae actually say, there is no real facts for the side effect of epi (eg. normally we might hv backaches, not only after epi)...
will be able to enjoy the labour process and hv more energy to do the pushing when its time...
i endure for 3 hrs, then i took the epi, and slept thru for like almost 8 to 9 hrs before i got dialated enof and the nurses woke me up to ask me to push... hee...
at the end of the day, really depend on your threshold of pain...

hi mummies.. opps, am i the only one who've not booked my ward yet?? for those who've booked MAH, are we supposed to book thro' our gynae or booked with MAH directly? hopefully they still have single room.....
jingles:
coz i never expected i could go thro the pain until i tried. to me this is called a true natural delivery. people always said lab pain is the most painful on a scale of 10, so if i could go thro this pain, other pain should be easier.
but i will stil feel nervous to go thro the lab pain again.
serene:
i haven;t booked my ward! coz my gynae said wait till the 8th mth...
is it too late huh?

re: seat
anyone has been offered a seat now that i suppose your tummy is obvious? in the morning, i realise usually alot of pp in the reserved seat are sleeping. only can wait for other kind pp in the same row to offer a seat. i think my tummy is getting more obvious so the gentleman in front of me gave me the seat even though i am wear a loose t-shirt.
jingle:
