Hazel: No need to feel guilty la. Recently I told hubby that he needs to be on standby, means the handphone must always be on, in case I call him if I go into labour. Then got 1 time I call him during the weekend when he went back to his mum's place to ask him to buy back some gocery. He later told me try not to call him when he's out, I thought he doesn't want me to disturb him but he said that his heart will now always skip a beat when he sees my call. So if it's not labour, I would SMS him and he would call back instead. Hahaha.

It brown rice tea & red bean water.
For red bean water, u can't over cook the bean till the bean break and the water become milky like the dessert type. And only drink the water.

I recalled that some of you will be ordering confinement food tingkat. Which are the recommended ones again? I am considering ordering the tingkat for just lunch time after my CL left as I will be alone at home with baby.. still comtemplating whether I should go for normal tingkat or confinement tingkat during the 2nd month... hmm..

Ivy:
1. how to sterilize bottles?
A few ways for you to do so. Easiest is to use the electric sterilizer. Always wash before your sterilize. Other ways include the boiling method where you boil the bottles in a clean pot of water for 5 to 10 mins. Then there's also the use of sterilizing tablets where you put one tablet in a clean container of water and soak the bottles for at least 30 mins (or depends on the instructions for the tablets). If you have microwave, you can buy those special bags or containers and put a little water with the water and put inside for a few mins.
2. What do i need to sterilize?
Bottles and its accessories, pacifiers, pump parts, basically everything that bb mouth touches. But do note that some stuff cannot use high heat sterilization.
3. If i sterilize bottles etc now, when i wanna use it again, i have to wash/sterilize again before use?
No need, just make sure you handle the bottles with clean hands.
4. Is one wash enough for nb clothes?
It depends on your comfort level. I only wash my bb clothes once.
Ninger: In the FB grp, I saw some mummies ordering richfood confinement. To continue for 2nd month depends on your own body constitution. If you are feeling okie, then normal food will do. Also normal food will be much cheaper.
My HL starting next week, but will be returning office on and off depending how I feel on that day itself. Sometimes alone at home also very sian. Hehe

Sri, I went through emergency c-sect for my #1 and was a rather traumatic experience.
Previous gynae said my pelvic bone is small and I'm rather petite.
#1 was born at 3.17kg at 41 weeks, induced and dilation at 9cm throughout the process of 12 hours.
Since this time already have a c-sect scar and make no difference if I opt for VBAC.
Would prefer to plan nicely and check in hospital.
Afraid to go through emergency c-sect again..
Are u planning for VBAC?

My #1 also emergency c-sect. Tried normal labour for 14 hrs but I only dilate 7cm after induced. Ended up had to emergency c-sect cz doc broke my waterbag. #1 I gave birth at 39 wks 4days. Her birth weight 3.7kg.
This time round I ask gynae if she can measure my pelvic bone n baby head. But she cant do/say much until the time comes for me to give birth. Isn't it too late? Asked her why #1 I had to c-sect? she gave me lots of reason which make me 50/50 lor..
1. is pelvic bone to small for the baby to come out.
2. Baby position
3. Baby head too big
This tues, 31st July I hv appt. Hmmmm..I gt this feeling I'll hv to c-sect cz at 36 wks 1 day, my baby weigh 3.1kg liao...by 38 wks shld be bigger rite? dun think can come out...heee

nikki/sri, i had emergency c-sect for my #1 too due to dilation only 4cm after 15hours. this time round, gynae told me my successful rate for vbac is only 50-60%, tat's y i opt for c-sect again.
I try explaining to him tat I wasn't working when I was expecting my #1 therefore less walking etc but he dun see the point. For my #2, I'm always walking as am in sales so I tot it might be easier for VBAC and who knows... haiz

I also had an emergency c-sect for my #1. My gynae initially also said my success rate for VBAC is 50 - 60%, but I insisted on trying anyway, because I really didn't want elective c-sect. In the end, it made no difference anyway, since my #2 was impatient and came at 36 weeks, and quickly, so I got the VBAC I wanted.

Actually naturally delivery is good (vbac or not) not just cos of the scar but of the following benefits (more but i just list the more impt ones):
- chances of cervical cancer is reduce a great deal
- milk supply higher chance to come faster as natural delivery also helps send signals to the brain to start milk production
- as bb pass thru the birth canal, he/she will pick up the good bacteria frm mummy to help fight allergies
Understand some mummies may have unpleasant memories frm the birth of #1.. Even gyane say it's 50%, try to look at it as half successful rather than half fail, ultimately u nvr know until u try. Jia you!

Do note that there r some gyanes who want to push for elective c sect rather than encourage natural delivery cos they want control. To say it plainly they plan more for themselves than for the mother and bb.
But I guess it's all fated, most important is bb is healthy from whichever way they choose to arrive.
I was initially disappointed when couldn't deliver naturally.
But I think my gal did try her best to come out naturally cos her head was "pointed" when delivered via emergency c-sect..
Dot, great that you had successful VBAC!
But I went through a great deal of trauma when the epidural was also not properly administered when trying for natural birth.
In the end, just surrendered when gynae proposed emergency c-sect.
Going for CTG tomorrow, hope everything is well.

Nikki: yup. The main thing i want to emphaize is not to let ppl influence u if u want to go for natural birth, of cos if bb is a little naughty or there's medical complications, then bo bian.
