hoo.. im back.. wah the thread suddenly move so fast.
zzz:: hoho.. my next 'boy' on the chinese prediction calender is Nov, so im guessing im 2-3yrs older than u. bahaha~
actually i envy u all with all the birth story. i do not have any. haha.. cos mine was elective c-sec, i selected the date/time, so did not have a chance to go through labour. plus, it was not advisable for me to try natural, so ya.. since need to go through c-sec, so i selected date lor. smtimes i feel like not being able to go through labour pain & the natural delivery part...like not having a real start of motherhood. sigh. but..ya, for the safety of my babies.. it's worth la.
so i tink if i were to get preggy agn..which i believe will not be as lucky twice, juz a singleton, i will still select a date n go for elective c-sec...to be 'fair'! LOL~
earlier this yr a master told me rabbit or dragon bb will be good for me..but dragon being better... so ya, dat's y wana wait till aft june. else i wld hv tried months ago le.
i oso prefer to hv at least 3 bbs.. if financially and health wise can.....4 or more will even be more fun. yes, 1 will be very lonely, n like u all mentioned, in future the single kid will hfta take care of the parents alone. i tink 2 oso quite boring, esp if the siblings r very close, whn 1 gets married le, the other will feel 'sad' de. so ya, at least 3..

fatBobo - agree totally!! I also wan 3, just nice to fill up the backseat.. heh heh, but fren keeps telling me tt #2 will be like v lonely, like singled out wor.. dunno leh.. =p
haha, ya said tt dun really have a birth story?? =p aft my delivery, emergency c-sect, I'd prefer to have a elective c-sect.. coz I've had mild contractions for 3 continuous days, then on the 4th day, even gynae said will deliver past midnight.. but ended up, aft 2 pills to induce, multiple drips etc, gynae said too slow, so came in past midnight and c-sect.. ended up we paid for the emergency c-sect rate, so ex.. if only we knew tt tis gg to be c-sect, shld've chosen a nice nice date instead..

zzz:: tell me abt it.. im a #2 myself of 2 other sisters..... i owas say i hv middle-child-syndrome!! my elder sis is 1 yr older than me, n younger sis is 11yrs younger than me. both my sis, 12yrs gap (1 cycle) are very very close.. prolly cos oso im married out. but when we hv weekly family dinr n all, still close..juz dat i hardly meet them up other than family gatherings or even like casual chat here & there. before i got preggy, we will owas play mahjong aft weekly dinr with my dad..which was fun. my mum doesnt know hw to play. so ya, at least hvg 3..plus a parent...can play a game of mahjong or 2!! bahaha~
waaaaah~ yr birth story... but sure was an experience which will be with u a lifetime.

Zzz : VBAC = Viginal Birth After Caesarean
Fatbobo : no need to envy about all the birth stories. Cos as a mommy the importance is not about birth stories, the most important is delivering healthy babies irregardless of emergency c-section or elective c-section or natural.
You are already a very super mommy alr... it's not easy to carry twins. I'm sure you have endure alot of discomfort. "Salutes"....

happiness:: heee..thanks. i've seen multiple-pregnancy mtbs like so easy throughout pregnancy..n some could delivery the bbs naturally too. ya, must be due to my short (and fat) build.. the bump had to press onto my pelvic very hard. i had severe MS..n had very sensitive nose, couldnt take alot of smell. had to change alot of floor detergent, hb had to chg alot of shampoo & body foam..haha. cldnt walk or stand abit longer, even sitting down oso hv prob. but it was fun. hehe. esp whn both feotus moving, n smtimes whn it's ard the naval, u wun b able to tell who it was. my younger twin on the right was owas 'running' out of plc, making my bump loopsided. lol~ i missed those days...... n i really hope to get preggy agn..really!

zzz: feel the gender?? haha how to feel? hmm some say on the food u eat.. if u like sweet food den girl.. salty food will be boy.. haha.. somehow i like sweet food during pregnancy.. n my tastebud is so different frm normal pple..
fatbobo: all the while i wan my delivery to be most traditional one.. but i am so disappointed that end up it's a caesar..
i wan 3kids too.. coz i alw feel that 3 den will good.. my theory is, if 2 child n end up 1 child go overseas work or not close with family, u can onli relay on 1 child.. if u haf 3 kids, at least u still haf 2 more kids to relay on.. the chances of 2 or 3 leaving u is not so high bahh haha..

actually i read/heard (cant rmbr) dat natural delivery are higher risk for the baby.. but c-sec is higher risk for the mother. k la..since most of us had a first delivery via c-sec, we shld tog hold ourselves up.... bahahahaha~
weeeee~ we can all work towards our '三个刚刚好' target. knowing sometimes it's not just how many we want, but if the other half is ready for that or not.. n most importantly, if health n wealth aspect support that too or not.
good health & wealth to all~

my fren tried on her parents & elder bros... all chun la. hehehe. we did on another fren.. (she juz had a #2).. chun for her oso.

fatbobo : I had MS too, throughout my whole pregnancy till i deliver my girl. I could not stand fish, not even a look at it..It will send me running to the nearest drain. I cannot stand garlic smell, fried shallot smell, fried fish smell etc.
Natrual Birth will not "endanger" the mommy. In fact It is good for the mommy. Cos during labour yr body will release a antibody to the baby to protect them when they are coming out from the vaginal.
And the mommy actually have better recovery when they have natural birth, the best part is u are able to breastfeed immediately after delivering the baby.
Of cos if your health and baby's health allow, natural birth is actually "nature way" of giving birth.
Having said that, I'm not saying the c-section is no good. Infact I have a friend who had 2 kids with elective c-section. Because she knows she has very low threshold for pain. And she prefers "stress free" birth
There is no right or wrong with birth methods. Choose one that suits u and baby's health is the most important
=>Oh multiple preganacy can have natural birth also ar?? I didn;t know abt that. Ahhhh now I learn something ...
I had singleton baby, but my tummy is also lopside whenever i sit dwn. My gal likes to lean to my right side... heee...Push her back, she will lean back to the right side again. heeee...

happiness:: heeee.. sound so fun.. i wonder hw it's like for a singleton pregnancy..n esp like yr girl..so cute, likes to lean to one side. hmmm..
one good ting abt my twin-pregnancy.. i cld sleep on the back... cos quite even out.. but i believe for singleton, quite tough huh?
oh, actually i meant.. c-sec delivery is more 'dangerous' for mummy..cos alot will suffer frm epidural after-effect or watnot. but a natural is more risky for the baby actually. although it's the natural-natural way of delivery. but nowadays, ppl get well nourished, n babies tend to be bigger, i heard of alot of scary stories of hw the baby got suffocated being stucked trying to be out.. or died of brain haemorage (duno-hw-to-spell) aft ob-gynae used vacumm or forcep trying to pull the baby out, etc.

Fatbobo : U can sleep on yr back with twins? Won't feel heavy ar? Mine singleton i only can sleep on my side... I feel very suffocated when i sleep on my back... hahahah...its tough to sleep on my back...
My girl is quite big, she is 3.53Kg...she is quite "bak bak" when she came out from my "womb hotel"... hahah... I think the gynae usually will advise ba. I rem my gynae telling me I would probably need c-sec cos my girl is pretty big... but i told her i would prefer natural... so my gyane told me to prepare for 'long labour" cos of baby's size. And my girl was not even engage when I went into labour... thus that explains my long labour...
Actually i dun knw what happen, I was pushing like crazy and the next thing i know I felt something "swish" out of me... then felt weight on my tummy, warm and moving... I peer dwn and saw my baby kicking and crying angrily...hahahha

guess with twins, both even out on the sides, so ok to sleep on back.. in fact, smtimes whn i sleep on the sides, it's quite uncomfy. hehe. mine very small.. oni 2.13kg and 2.03kg... but luckily just over 2kg, dun hfta go into NICU!
i oni managed to hv my elder twin on my chest aft they wrap her up..that was whn they were 'pulling' my younger twin out..hahhaa. i delivered at wk36..so prolly they had to make sure the twins were ok, so juz a quick swing over my head to show me they were out n quickly to test n weigh n watnot. then, wrap them up n let hb & i hold n took photos. hehehe.
arrrrrh~ i missed all these! LOL~

hi mrng all~
last evng i juz met up with a fren who's on maternity leave nw. she juz delivered her #2 in march. her #1 was nov 09 bb.. so oni 9 mths aft delivering #1, she conceived agn. chatted abt her birth story..(her #1 experience was quite happening..n ended up emergency c-sec!).. n she told me she was hvg irregular contraction.. but suddenly on the dat faithful day...n pain was very constant n din go away! she went to hosp but oni 1cm dilation..then the nurse learnt that her 1st was c-sec n din let her go for dinr..(cos most likely she will need to go for c-sec agn this time too..) then latr ob-gynae came n did some test n realised actually the old wound ruptured internally!!! she said she could actually felt the "POP" inside!!!! luckily she was already in hosp n the ob-gynae was fast to detect it.. her #2 was delivered emer c-sec n leg out first... if later abit more, the bb might not make it thru!!!!!
she told me her sis's fren (or someone else) told her on this lady, who also had her old c-sec wound rupture..'explode' inside..n lost the baby!!!!!
so arh.. pls hv adequate time to let the stomach n womb lining to heal well before trying for another one..... n if earlier delivery was via c-sec, u can try natural the next time, but not force.. if really hfta, c-sec bah.
aft hearing her story, if i were to get preggy agn... for the more i will make sure i go for c-sec n select an earlier date deemed safe n good.. n not wana go thru n take the risk!

Fatbobo : thats scary.... but i did heard that if have c-section, it is better to rest for 1 yr b4 having the 2nd child... because u will stretch even more when u are pregnant with 2nd... so if c-sec wound is not heal properly, probably will have some bleeding and risk the wound being infected or something...
My birth story is actually also quite happening de.... I was suppose to be push into operating theatre because I wasn't progressing too well.... cervix open too slow, baby not willing to come out etc.... but when they went to book the theatre come in to my delivery ward i was alr crowning...so thank God no need to c-sec...
I will post my birth story when i am "free" later... for anyone who is interested la...

happiness:: i oso heard frm most ppl.. to wait at least 1yr aft c-sec to TTC agn. but T_T's gynae said it's ok to try aft 6mths. then agn like i mentioned earlier, prolly cos T_T is still young. recovery rate is faster.
my fren's #2 was an accident.. in fact, she was hvg chicken pox when she realised she was 6 or 9wks preggy (cant rmbr)... cos she juz had her #1 9mths ago mah. but anyways...
yes yes.. i wld be interested to hear abt birth stories.. hoooO~

My Birth Story for anyone who is interested.
26 Jan 2010:
7am : Wakeup and went to the toilet and realise I had the bloody show. Since no contractions I went back to bed thinking that maybe i will deliver in a few days time.
10am : started to get contractions.
12pm : Arrived at gynae for a checkup. I was surprised when my gynae told me I am in labour and ask me to check myself in to the hospital.But was warn that my bb not engage yet and pretty high up. We will try natural birth 1st, if can't then will have to do a C-sec. I told my gynae I will admit later.
1pm : Went AMK hub for lunch. Went shopping (hoping the walking will lower bb dwn into the birth canal). Tahan contractions.
4pm : Reach home. Hb also reach home. Final pack of my hospital bag. Still tahaning contractions.

6 plus am : More bloody show ... Super super high on laughing gas. 8 cm dilated.
7.30am : Gynae came. Check. Baby still high up. Gynae order for a C-sec. I panic as I really wanted a natural birth. Told gynae to give me more time. Gynae refuse and say bb might be in distress if in labour for too long.
8.25am : Had a strong urge to push. The labour ward nurse guided me to push. Gynae came in and guided me to push too. She also says if I am able to push bb dwn then we will have a chance for natural.

4am : Super high. Contractions nearly killing me.
5.30am : Waterbag burst. More intense contractions. Taking in laughing gas like drug addict.
6 plus am : More bloody show ... Super super high on laughing gas. 8 cm dilated.
7.30am : Gynae came. Check. Baby still high up. Gynae order for a C-sec. I panic as I really wanted a natural birth. Told gynae to give me more time. Gynae refuse and say bb might be in distress if in labour for too long.
8.25am : Had a strong urge to push. The labour ward nurse guided me to push. Gynae came in and guided me to push too. She also says if I am able to push bb dwn then we will have a chance for natural.
8.40am : Had push with all my might. Thou exhausted but i still persist pushing.
8.45am : baby crowning. Gynae says "Oh can see alr". everyone getting ready to received baby.
8.50am : Finally baby arrives. Screaming away. Powerful lungs the nurses exclaimed

Hi all,
Morning! =)
So happening, the birth stories..
fatbobo - guess tt's a nice weight for twins, heard some came out real early and v thin.. so at least ya's twins know hafta stay inside longer for their benefit..
sigh, think maybe wont have #2, coz hb's still not keen.. been asking since last wk.. but he kept pushing with all sorts of excuses.. like cannot go on holiday, #1 v poor thg coz only 17 mths+, cannot give #1 the undivided attention, gynae cost v ex, delivery cost v ex, CL v ex.. even aft I offered to pay for my own CL, on impulse..
this morning, I asked again coz think today's the Ovulation day, so was abit hopeful.. then hb gave the lamest reasons, like childcare ex, no caregiver, if conceive nw, then may give birth during CNY, if I preggie, CL ex then somemore no one to tidy up and clean the place for CNY... ok ok, I get the drift.. fine.. so be it.. am not hoping to have another child with you anymore.. was more upset than angry with him..
coz I've got PCOS, then during the health screening, I saw the egg and was so happy, tis of a gd size and apart fr the egg, what I saw, was a chance of conceiving.. I've read other threads whereby some mummies have been trying for mths, am so worried and dun think I'll ever have the courage for IVF and all.. so wanna try earlier but hb's real insistent that he dun wan a 2nd one now..
think tis abit unfair to me coz if he wants #2 ltr when I am older, he din consider whether my body can take it or not etc.. :`(

zzz:: *hugs* dun b upset.
prolly juz give him abit more time.. n dun hfta keep asking him lor. juz let nature takes its course? i tink anytime, like if u ask a younge man if he is ready to get married n have kids, etc... the asn is prolly 'no'!! smtimes even for some ladies too, aft got married le, ask her when wana hv bb or wat.. sm will say 'not ready'..etc too. i tink it's juz natural la.
prolly he doesnt want say he's so ready..n in case, in the end, he cant provide for you, the kids...he might feel 'useless'.. or dat u will be hurt in some ways.. etc.. he juz wana make sure he CAN..n doesnt wana make empty promises? i mean.. smting like dat?
aiya..im not good at words, n explaining or watnot. but.. bottomline, dun be upset, dun be angry. take sm cooling off period n see hw tings go. or latr on hv another chat. nw everything expensive....but in 3yrs..5yrs...8yrs dwn the rd.. everything will be even even more expensive!! n not oni whn u get older...he will get older too.. n whn he finally decide to hv another one whn u both much older.... n will need to work harder..longer..into bringing up the kid too. he juz prolly din 'see' it far enuff.
good luck.. n let fate decides bah.

Zzz : Dun be sad. My hb also give me the same lame excuse. But dun be too worried abt age ya... My ex-col has her 1st child at 41yrs old...and she carry thru the pregnancy to full term.
No i'm not saying you will have one that late. But probably when yr #1 is alittle bit older, he may miss her "babyhood" and "beg" u for a child.
In fact I am not so young anymore too... But i am really hoping and wishing I can have a boy.But it need not be in Dragon year if I cannot board the boat in time.
fatbobo : PCOS is Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome. Hope my spelling is correct. Its when women have very irregular menstraution because hormones are severely "out of control".... it can cause difficulty in conceiving... I only know this in layman terms la... medically or if more "chim" i cannot explain liao. My frd had this too, but I knw if left untreated it can lead to some heart disease or something....

fatbobo : My mense is also very irregular. But will come every month la just that it does not fall under regular 28 -30 days cycle...
But after i deliver my girl and breastfeed for 1 yr (no mense during pregnancy and bf-ing), my mense came after I stopped bf-ing. It was super irregular.
Then add on I had a steriod jab a month ago for "carpal tunnel syndrome" on my wrist caused by my pregnancy, my mense went super haywire. Come every 2 weeks. So now I am under medication from gynae lo. So within these 3 months, i will not try for a baby lo...

Thx all...
Think will not ask him anymore.. suan le..since he dun wan #2 now, I also gotta plan for myself.. think I better find myself a new job and concentrate on career bah.. just let it be.. and my plan for myself's to try to slim down, stay healthy and all.. dun bother abt him anymore..
Since he can give such lame reasons, such as the cleaning for CNY and seems like he wanna me clean and tidy up the place, then forget it bah.. coz even if I get preggie, think he will nt bother to clean the place up and just say tt he cannot manage alone..
shall cool down and not be too affected by it..
For my PCOS symptoms, tis weight gain bah, then irregular menses, can go haywire fr 30 days to sometimes 40+ days, then like yoyo like tt.. so abit hard to predict O..
guess #1's pure luck bah.. so abit worried on whether will we still have the luck with #2.. best to try early.. phew phew.. shall try to cool down.. suan le suan le.. no pt getting myself so upset and affected when hb most prob dun feel a thg..

Hi dairy : I have a ox girl too
but she is born in Jan 2010... she is "oxtail" ...hahahhaha
Mommies : Those with dogs at home. I'm facing a tough tough decision now. My dog is 12 YO and has very bad skin, smells very bad and oosing discharge. His eyes is also not so good, hearing also slowly not so good liao. 2 days ago, he started to have difficulty moving, so I have to carry him dwnstair to grass patch for him to pee and poo (he is not paper train, he only goes to grass and pee/poo). He can muster enough strength to walk a few steps only.
I went to the vet this morning (cos she mention if he has mobility problem I may need to "decide) and told vet abt my dog's problem. She says i need to decide what i want to do. But besides all this problems stated above, he is eating well. I dun knw if i should make the decision to let him go. I so scared i make the wrong decision.
I cannot stop crying since i come out from the vet this morning
Anyone here have the same experience b4? Can share with me?

Happiness&Bliss - thx! =) Have reviewed and think mayb try for #2 next time bah.. coz recently I seem to get breathless real easily aft lunch..dunno why.. maybe tis the excess weight still leftover fr having #1.. so will concentrate on losing weight and maybe find new job 1st bah, instead of having #2 then find new job..
wah, ya menses come every 2 wks? v luan wor...
Erm, I have no dogs at home, but if ya planning for #2, then ya wont be able to afford to carry him downstairs daily too.. wld someone else be able to help carry him downstairs? maybe ya can ask the vet in return to see what's his take on the situation? coz if ur dog's suffering fr all those and feels the pain fr the discharge and when walking those few steps, maybe can let him go? but if other than those sorta 'old age' symptoms, he is coping well, then maybe can keep him? coz he is still living well..
dun b too sad, ask ard and decide aft discussing with ur family.. the decision's not urs to take and shoulder, on whether to let him go or stay, else ya'll always feel bad over ur decision..
just my 2 cents worth.. Good luck ok?

Anyone know of any info/method on better chance of conceiving girl? I am now using http://www.babyhopes.com/ovulation-calendar.html but doubt it will work for me as my menses is irregular due to breastfeeding my 21 mth old son.

Hi All,
Been MIA coz back to work already!
@much_needed: Thanks for sharing. Hubby wants dragon so we'll have horse, tiger & dragon in one family. Saying goes it's good combi.
Anyone knows how to buy OPK online? Any BP spree?
Re: Gender
Understand that mum's diet play a part. To conceive a boy, mum should eat more red meat. Vegetable also imp to alkalize the body. Mum who already conceived boy, can share if this is true?

Hi,
I am new here.
I wanted a 2nd child and hopefully it is a boy.Anyways, on second thought if it is a girl it is OK as long as she is healthy. Wanted a bunny but i guess i missed and hopefully can get a dragon baby
Reira,
I see from reply above, you still breast feeding your 21 old son. You plan to wean soon?

T_T - haha, sounds like tis a v bz full mth's celebration wor.. haha.. prev when we did the full mth's celebration for bb.. hb was commenting tt it shld be a day where the parents shall go and have a gd rest while everyone gets bz carrying and passing bb ard.. haha..
Think PCOS seems abit common nowadays, but was afraid and dunno if it'd disappear, shall know next wk when I get my health rpt..
bluehime - whoa, think tis a good combi, then ya'd have 2 heavyweights wor, tiger and dragon.. i wanna have one tiger but my bb cow's born too late into the yr, plus c-sect, not in time to have a tiger.. else will be gd combi for both hb and me..
coz they were saying tt ea zodiac has their own gd frens wh can help one along the way.. heh heh, then tiger and cow's our gd frens, supposedly..
since not in time to have tiger, hope will have dragon.. but I want boy leh, coz got a girl ler..
prev read somewhere whereby 1 mum said to lean on dunno right or left side aft BD, cant find back tt post tho..
am afraid tt if lift up legs for it to flow in (top have as many inside to up the chances), then the girls will flow in faster since they'r supposedly to be heavier, tt's why they swim slower while boys swim faster.. gravity pull..
My colleague has some OPK strips tt she bot extra online.. not sure when's the expiry date..
Think shall ask hb again if wanna try for dragon somewhere mid of the yr, maybe if can skip the CNY peak rates for CL, maybe hb will be more agreeable.. hopeful..
