Hi ladies
I'm a silent reader. My baby #3 will be due somewhere Betwn 30jun to 6jul (supposed edd is 14jul) but scheduled csec date is 6jul so hopefully bb can wait till then.
Ssmilezz - reading ur journey to birth delivery sound so exciting in this thread making everyone so kan cheong for u!
But urs is somewhat similar to my #1. Same case op position bb. During that time I had painful contractions since Monday nite 7Pm then by tue morning, I got admitted, doc induced with tablet, drip n injection but dilation was superlong, then doc burst waterbag n we waited n waited till finish up 5tubes of epi by the time I'm fully dilated, then tried to push on Wedn morning, after several attempts, doc even cut below n vacuum, nothing work, bb understress so doc said emergency csec. So finally bb out at 9am by ga csec. Total of 38hrs labour, going thru natural n csec so I had 2 wound n also bill came up to b 5 figures! My bb was big also at 3.5kg 52cm, too big for me. Doc said some ppl actually still can deliver such op position bb naturally n sometimes a last min bb will turn to correct position so it really depend on individual lor but it is expected that such bb will ve a long labour bvos the head is harder to come out unless bb is really small. My doc told me if she didnt induce me, my labour pain could go on for another few days but at least urs ve "show" n did dilate. Mine only contraction pains no dilation until doc induce n induce. Oh btw, u can still natural for ur next bb if no other issues, but I was told u won't b able to use epi for ur next time.
Breastfeeding:
In order to ve successful breastfeeding, I was told by the nurses at prenatal class that u need to b "happy", when u r unhappy the production will b affected. Don't stress or ur bb will also find it hard to bf. keep trying to latch ur bb in the most comfortable position u like, with frequent latching, the production will kick in. Supply equal demand. What I like most abt bf is the bonding n also bb last prone to b colicky. I bf my #1 for 28mths, #2 for abt 14mths. Love bf never regret. Don't worry too much of what others say, it's ur bb, it's ur choice! Even if confinement Aunty discourage (most likely is bcos they r lazy), tell them u want to bf ur bb n they need to follow since u paid them for their service to follow ur instructions.
Hiccups :
Bb hiccups r v common Le. Nothing to b alarmed. Every normal human will ve it Le. I dunno will this method work for bb but u can try, when bb hiccup, use ur fingers to lightly hold down ur Bb wrist (either one of his/her hand) where his/her pulse can b felt, n count calmly n slowly to 5. For normal kids or adults, this will work if the person breathe in n out deeply n slowly 3x at the count to 5. But bb can't take in deep breath as instructed but u can try.
Hope the above helps
