wt81: For MT A, I think the parking problem is due to the construcion work. By the time we are due to pop, I think should be ok. My friend delivered in end Nov and it was still ok. Doctor and patient going for delivery has priority.
new year goodies: i've been really unhealthy in my diet recently. keep eating new year goodies non-stop!!! finished don't know how many tins of goodies already. hopefully the weight gained goes to bb LOL
Epi: for Mt A at least, epi is additinal charge. It's charged by per tube. So the more you use, the more you pay. About $500-600 per tube if I am not wrong. my advise is, it is better to decide whether you want epi beforehand and not try to endure until cannot take it then ask for epi. b'cos by the time you cannot take it, the bb will be out soon. by the time the doc come to inject epi and the epi take effect, bb already out.
labour: actually labour not necessary scary. to me labour was the easiest part of my motherhood journey LOL. my contraction start during dinner time and then it was still quite mild. then ard mid-night start to get strong and regular so woke hubby up and get ready to go hospital. reach hospital at 2+am. immediately asked for epi. gynae came and burst water bag which i no feeling cos epi already kicks in. then try to rest and wait till 8am, fully dilated. gynae come, push a few rounds, then bb vaccumed out. basically the whole process was smooth and painless and the midwives were all very nice
Xuan: i can tell u that boob size got totally nothing to do with milk supply. my friends who got smaller boobs all super duper good milk supply one. and even if ur milk supply is low initially, with hard work, u will still be able to supply enough milk for ur bb.
for my #1 I very kiasu and brought breast pump to hospital but actually the hospital got breast pump which you can rent. it's about $20-30 per day and super powerful kind. my friend just delivered last month at TMC and she rented the hospital breast pump and it's super good. helps her to kick-start her milk supply and now she got very good supply. for my friend case, her #1 her milk supply not so good so for #2 she decided to start pumping in hospital. and also cos her #2 can't latch very well cos she has history of flat nipple. But if your bb can latch very well then no need to pump. Just keep latching will do. Nurse will bring bb to you when it's time to feed.
