Have a question on induce. Last time, i went for induce cos gynae said baby growing too big and might end up c-sect. But the whole process lasted 27 hours which was very tiring. Any of you gone through induce and how long does it normally take?
 


Some mummies sent your kid to ifc right? Roughly whats the time schedule like?

Say:
-after work, pick up baby
-reach home maybe 7plus pm
-have to wash up, change, feed, talk to and pat baby to sleep
-we also have to eat and bathe
-by the time, everything done, 11pm liao ah?
 
starr_nn - i think i can finish all by 10pm? i usually reach CCC 6.15pm after picking my girl, go for dinner and reached home 7plus. Rest awhile and let her watch her cartoons or play games den go bathe. we should be in bed by 9pm. I usually talk to her til we both sleep. LOL
 
dym - u very efficient leh haha...i think about all the logistics and time, i want to faint. the other day my hubby was just telling me he's scared now..next time no full night sleep anymore lol

chomp chomp - ifc infant care
 
chomp chomp - if our 2 bedded will be same room i dont mind lor haha .. nvm, lets cheer each other to have the power to PUSH !! lol

my gynae clinic is at bishan , Dr Vincent Lee .. cos he's my family gynae so stick to him for my #3 also .. =)

i'm a SAHM so i look after baby myself and for confinement , dont tink i will be doing so i'm not worrying on who's helping ..

Kelly - so in e end , u still give birth naturally?

my #1 & #2 was induced cos overdue, #1 it took abt 12hrs ,i had epidural once i checked in so had a good sleep until the pushing time , cried so badly and plead for c section cos i simply cant push lol ..

#2 it took 8hrs .. i had epidural 2hrs b4 i start pushing cos i worry abt the pain wen they have to cut and sew so gave in to epidural ..

i guess how long depends on individual , some takes long like urs 27hrs and i have frens who pop out baby in just a few hrs like less den 6hrs..
 
Kelly: When I was having #1, I suffered from high blood pressure around week 38, so doctor advised me to induce but was unsuccessul after 12 hours on drip, so he suggested for emer C-Sect as he was worried that the baby will be under stress.
 
starr_nn - did u see i skip ALL houseworks? im leaving all these for my hubby. thats what he get when he cant accompany us at all. somemore he ask for #2, so he has to do all the shit work.
 
daisy - yes, natural birth. wouldn't have been able to do it without epidural cos gynae put his hands in to pull baby out...hb was too shocked for words..
 
chomp chomp - lol ! sure i'll cheer u on !!

kelly - i had vacuum extract for the #1 cos i totally gave up on pushing ..
 
lusciousash - have u announce urs?

i announce on the day i test positive on pregnancy kit haha , i cant wait to share the happiness ..

i updated on facebook status , called up my family , close gfs to inform personally ..

lol , i'm abit kiasu on tis haha !
 
Ladies : at which week we can feel bb ... i dont know is it my imagination or what ... i can feel like movement inside but not often de ....
 
Dym,
that explains why our hbs prefer to have helpers. Cos my hb is the one that does all the housework too, haha! I'm only incharge of cooking and the kids. :p

lusciousash,
most people already know about my pregnancy, hehe.
 
Carice - suppose is 16wks when we able to feel the movements more often , we can feel some after 12wks but wont be tat often ...

however i'm in 16wks alrdy , didnt feel much yet either lol
 
i told my 2nd sister when i tested positive for preg test kit, then following that day, all my family knew about it. thanks to my 2nd sister. haha.

as for my hub's side, when lil fella turns 6 weeks in my tummy (which we heard the heartbeat) then we told PIL (parents in law). they were too overjoyed. my MIL cried when she heard the news.

as for my office ppl, they knew it when i got my first vomit (morning sickness). cos i took company trspt, and was vomiting on the bus. haha.
 
BB - i dun even got the time to talk to him everyday. i think if i get him a helper, the more i got no excuse to call n nag him for houseworks. -,-"

Carice - u can feel baby movement at about 16-20weeks. but i dun think u know its baby moving. its just v v light movement. when baby gets bigger, u can even play with him/her. u can even see the movement of ur lil one. v amazing de. LOL..
 
lusciousash, initially only my 2 bosses know...then as tummy starts to get bigger, my other colleagues started asking. at first i say no la, i am just gaining weight, but gradually it became obvious that only my tummy is gaining, and every other part of me still looks normal..

2 weeks ago, my cousin had his wedding dinner, and most of my relatives was ooohing and ahhing away cuz i definitely looked like i am with child..

i guess, for u, its also a matter of time people start noticing
 
Chomp: think we have the same edd 3rd march. which hospital u planning to book? My gynae book for me at tmc le. my 1st time too.

Lusciousash: my husband n I only disclose my pregnancy after my oscar test.
 
department ppl knew cos i was taking time off for IUI procedure.
these 2 days wore maternity clothings, guess it's announcing it to the rest of the company.
close friends knew, not so close ones, wait for FB post bah
hubby can't wait to announce to his world hahaa
btw, anyone know abt my question on the peeling & itchy nipple? what cream can use?
 
Jo - my colleague mentioned a nipple cream to use during bf .. maybe now can also use since its safe for babies

quite a number of brands in the market
avent, lansinoh, mustela etc
 
chrmei, hi-5 !!

i can choose either mt. A or thomson, cos my gynae can deliver at both hospital.

i'm opting for the hospital tour for both hospital (diff dates) at the end of october.
 
Hi..

I'm new in this motherhood forum. 1st time mummy, EDD 27th March.

Nice meeting u all
happy.gif
 
<font color="000080">Lusciousash >> My bosses found out soon enough, cos I was on bedrest a lot from 7-8weeks onwards. And I told my mom so she came over to cook for me when I was on bedrest. My MIL I told when spotting stopped and everything seemed more stable, at about 11+weeks. Now I told a few close friends plus those who invited me to their weddings (just in case their side pantang), but won't really ANNOUNCE it I think, haha. Not until bb is born and healthy, at least! :p</font>
 
Dym,
oh, you mean he won't be home if there's a helper? I thought with a helper, you'll get to talk to him more cos he won't have to do housework, haha!
 
recently my hubby has been like a zombie doing housework..esp when he mops the floor. mopping the floor is the last chore after everything else is done..so he's tired..then he will go like shaking his head, doing zombie action when mopping...

always mumbling to himself that should have gotten a smaller home and that its time he gets a part time cleaner to come in lol
 
BB - ya. he usually comes back after i Zzz.. When i go work, he Zzz.. LOL.. we used to talk when he haven change his job. his job now retail hours, i can only try my best to stay awake just to talk to him on weekends. now i totally give up. we fb chat instead. sometime, whatsapp. -,-"
 
carice - i cant stand too, he mop like don't use strength one..the mop damp, the mop go across the floor, the floor damp...means done liao... <roll eyes>

now i close both eyes when he do housework...also poor thing la, do all the housework, i would be grumpy too lol
 
Daisy - i havent announce mine yet to others. Apart from immediate families, only a group of our frens knew cos we are expecting baby in Feb, Mar (which is me), and Apr 2012. The rest was joking that anyone taking the spot for May.. lol

Dym, I havent told anyone in office yet. =X

BB, wow its nice that most ppl already know. =)

chomp chomp, my colleagues didnt suspect anything at all. I was vomiting secretly in the toilet in the initial weeks. So pathetic.

starr, im not sure if anyone start noticing. My hubby commented that my stomach is growing indeed, but no-one at work has asked me yet...maybe i wore polo tee /loose tops.

In fact i was thinking maybe i shouldnt tell my colleagues, see when will they start asking me if im growing fat. hahah
 
Kelly G: I was spotting that time at week 39. Clinic not open so went to TMC straight. End up go there cannot come out! Induce twice (around 24hrs) and still cervix not open... in the end c-sect lor. So have to pay double charge... for induction &amp; c-sect
sad.gif
 
starr : you know what my hb did .... same mop (3x) then finish liao .... i tell him must mop 3 x (include raise water after every mop) and that the way he did .... Zzz ...

my friend say as long he do for you can le ... dont grumble ... which is quite true la ... i still do ironing ... when tired he has to do his own liao ...
 
lusciousash - haha maybe end of tis mth , one of ur frens in the group might say 'i'm taking the place for May' lol ..

grats for the results for oscar =)
