i'm oso in my 36 weeks, drank 2 coconuts last week.. feel so hot...
Thank you mummies!
LittleDd, i was 39 weeks 4 days. Haha.. Cos i am super terrified of pain. So i took it! But it turned out epi procedure this time was super painful. Worse than contraction pain..
Lotusmum, thanks for sharing! So no pain during pooing or wiping? Omg. No idea why but i am super worried it'll be painful.
Ayana, gynae assured me i didn't need epi and it would be fast and painless. But i didn't believe it! So i took it..

Congrats lovexuan!

I won't exactly say no pain. I also very scared of pain but somehow you will need to go..it will be worse if constipated..i think the hospital can give you something like fybogel to prevent constipation leh. Don't wipe, will hurt.. Just wash and use paper to dab dry..

Lol!! Seems like you didn't not need my special customised "give me epi!!" stickers haha
Wow how lucky that you had a gynae appt that day! 5cm and still no pain? 7cm and still smiling! Woman, you are the champion!!
I have a gynae appt on thurs. Wonder if I can also catch a priceless expression from him haha. Maybe he will send me to the hospital himself? Hahahahhaha
Ohh I don't remember when I did a poo... Not at hosp, at home ba. I had just done it on the morning of delivery so not so bad. Gynae no give special spray to clean? Last time I got. Must spray and clean regularly (not just for poo).

Ayana, I drink longan, red dates, wolberries, pao sheng regularly and always buy from Hock Hua.
This time, I've ordered the confinement herbal package from PEM Confinement Nanny $430, you may go their website to see what is including in the package. The medical hall near my place has quoted me $600 for soup and $6 per day for the longan drink!

Thanks all!
Lotusmum, noted! Thanks! I am so afraid i may need to go tomorrow.. Rather wait till i get home.
pinkbunny, my threshold for pain gone up unknowingly? I don't know. But all i felt was the regular BH and pelvic pain. Or i thought so? Lol!
mom2012, i walked a lot this time compared to #1. and i climbed stairs at least 6 times a day. Maybe cos this time i have an elder girl so no choice. I still ran errands and did marketing etc.
desperatemum, thanks for the advice! My #1 was an 18 hours long labour!! Jiayou. Every pregnancy is really different.
JIAYOU mummies! We are all popping one after another! Wheee...

The coconut is a deal! I bought from NTUC 3 for $2.95 but I don't know how to choose, sometime young sometime old. Btw, you bought with husk or bald?
MeinMe
I bought the ones with the husk (white), cos I think read somewhere said that should take young coconut and the bald ones are old.. I don't really know.. But the ones with husk are very troublesome, need to chop, thank God I have a hb who was a kampong boy can do the chopping..
Actually, I also don't know how to choose, just take those that are heavier and husk looks fine.. I only know young ones are not as sweet as the old ones..
Contractions
I have been getting contractions every 10 mins since 3am till now.. But no show..

Me too me too... Exactly... When I was nuahing in bed, the contractions don't seem to be so painful and intervals are 10-11 mins but when I walked around, the intervals become 7-8 mins and more painful.. My pain is at the tailbone...
Called the hospital, the nurse told me that likely the baby is not ready, the contractions need to be more frequent and stronger..

Re Baby bonus,
my #2 baby bonus from OCBC. more convenient as there's more branches & ATMs around. we can easily make fund transfer thru internet banking as well. (some discounts from certain merchandise)
well, juz got a bad news from my boss, salary will be late dis month and will only payout by end of next week. worst still, it's cheque payment. hopefully my baby doesn't come early... :'(

Re: baby bonus.
OCBC is better. I open one for my #1. they always have promotion from time to time and you can redeem free gift for the kids.
I will still go back to OCBC, for those who deliver at KKH, there is account opening service at KKH at admission office. Very convenience.
Now I really felt difficult when walk.. I can feel my baby heading down and can feel the pressure.. Walking like penguin
Really hope baby come out soon this week...

Lotus mum
just back from my gyane. Gyane say if i over 37weeks den i go deliver but I by monday den i will be 37weeks so not so good to deliver now.
My CTG show I'm in early labour so give me some pill to stop the contraction till monday for my appt.
CDA
all my bb using stand chart, their interest % is higher than OCBC if i'm not wrong.

Ahh icic. I agree that OCBC has more outlets and more convenient to do bank transfers etc as my hubby alr has existing ocbc account.
Checked the interest rates seems like both the same, but ocbc merchant list is more applicable to my family. Standard chartered's like more atas ones.. Haha.
Anyone applied for cda extra? Wonder how it works.. Btw when u apply for bb bonus, do u submit the bank application forms together as well? Or wait till govt send u approval form den can go apply for the bank account?

Hi mummies, i have delivered my baby girl, Lovelle on 30th March. She was induced by order of Dr Heng.
Compared to my first delivery, this time I managed to enjoy the process, smiling all the way... For my first delivery, i was silly enough to think that epidural was the last option of pain relief therefore i did not call for it until i was white with pain. Then after it was administered, i tink the dosage just numbed me that i could not feel a thing when pushing.
This time round,epidural was working in tandem with my oxytocin drip. I took the epidural 2 hours after my drip. So epidural relieved the pain while I was still able to feel every contractions. Up to the stage when i could feel baby pushing down on my anus, and that was when the nurse announced she could see my baby's hair!
=)
Now Im a moo-moo cow doing confinement at home.
By the way, i wanted to ask mummies who are taking post natal massages packages.
Can i know when do you all start the massage?
Must we take the package consecutively, for example, in 7 days time?
Or can we break it up into once a week?
Mind to share how are your packages like?
Im tinking of getting a freelancer to come over to my house. But not sure what i shd look out for.
Thanks for sharing!

need to rest alot during this time to keep the baby inside..
I went out for the entire day today, got brown discharge in the afternoon and now I'm admitted due to water bag leaking but no dilatation.. So will deliver within the next 24hrs..
Desperatemum
Show means got blood or brown discharge..

Desperatemum; show is a term of having bloody or brown discharge before labour, it's a sign that labour is starting. Another one is having mucus discharge with brown or red streaks.
Mummyjesline: that's great! Congrats! Wow second time labour was so smooth!
for the massage, it's best to start 2 -3 days after birth, u need to do straight for at least 5 - 7 days depending on individual. My massage lady said she have women who only need 5 sessions, some need more.
I took 6 sessions straight 2 days after birth (as she has off day on sun so not able to do 7 days straight) and will maybe continue 2 or 3 sessions during my last week of confinement. Muz ask ur friends for reccomendation as I only trust those that people tried and tested good. If u need my massage lady contact, let me know! She's gd and v popular, schedule always packed..

hi mummies, i'm back to chat. but thread has moved so fast,i dunno start from where! haha
my CL has been very gd so far. so i better relax and use the comp as much as i can now!
jesline, it is best that you can do the massage for the 5/7 days straight cos then the binding will be most effective. but if you cant, then its ok one.

1xMummyJesline (valkyriegal),
my massage lady told me for natural birth we can start 2nd day after delivery. for my #1 and #2 i started on 4th day, which is the day after i'm discharged for a straight 5 days. but dis time round, i'm planning to take up at least 7 days.
