Hmm i checked with my admin. she said HR seems ok for us to take HL without deducting from ML.. It happens for another colleague of mine who also took quite a long period of HL before she delivers.

my company says 1 month before, MC = ML

They can control how much drugs to drip.into our spine.

Last time when I had #1 it was controlled by us mummies.. we have a button to push whenever we feel Pain. Thus some mummies kiasu keep press then very fast finish...

Now it's controlled by the nurses. They will take a ice pack n try see u can feel or not ... then adjust the dosage

Hi anyone...
I decided to take c-sect as my baby too big about 3.5 kgs at 38wks.. I will be deliver the baby on this friday.. But im still confusing to take epidural or full anesthesia? Anyone mind to share pro and cons?
Click to expand...
I went for elective c-sec in mid Dec coz baby was big too. I had spinal anaesthesia coz i din wanna be the last to see my baby haha. I had prior experience of GA so can compare. GA really makes u very very groggy, u will be disabled for a few hours at least. For my spinal, I was shivering quite badly but the shivering went off quite fast. Legs took a few hours to feel again, but was able to hold baby and breastfeed.

As for experience in the operating theatre, the jabs to the spine was painful. I took 2 jabs coz the doctor administering din manage to jab deep enuff for the 1st jab -_- My gynae best, begin operating with no warning haha. I was like start liao? Look at hubby, he was like "erm....." Everything happen very fast. I was in and out of the theatre in less than 30mins.

There is a machine attached to the tube/needle that's insert into our spine.

They control using the machine. N the machine holds on to the capsule of epidural medicine.. once finish they will beep n need to refill with a new capsule..

From the machine they adjust the dosage.. on or off etc.

Why ur gynae like that. I am also quite small, 152, but I put on 15 kg durin preg): now I am 58. Lol gynae also say I small but can still go for natural
Click to expand...

You're above 150 so you're past the "short stature" definition so not as serious as my case, or at least I think that's how she thinks lor. Anyway, I leave it all to God now. Next time must be more careful to find a pro natural birth gynae, especially pro VBAC if I end up with c-sec.

So you mean the needle is inserted into the spine all the time until bb comes out, that's the way they adjust the dosage right?! :eek:

Archie7 said:
Pssst…. get your hubby to sneak in some fresh coconut juice, orange juice or pocari sweat, for you to drink. That was @cuteowl's plan to replenish energy during the process and it seemed to work very well for her. She managed to give birth after being induced and without epi.

Wow... without epi and induce... sound so good.. hopefully I won't need to be induce..

Very sad to read such cases. If the maid had an issue with the employer, she should take it up with the employer instead of causing hurt to an innocent 2 month old baby! :mad: Luckily the bb was not harmed.

My bosses were chatting with me on the various child-sitting options (parents, in-laws, maid, infant care etc.) for me to return to work after ML, as they were reluctant to grant me no-pay leave or even part-time work. One of them said having a maid is good as you can scream at her while you can't do that to your in-laws. My hubby had the good sense to think, no, the maid may sneakily do harmful things to you or worse, to the bb, behind your back. And this is exactly what this case shows.

Hi there,

Would you be able to share with me your fren's contact for the customized cakes? Does she has a site or something where we can view her final product?

Many thanks in advance

Yeap, agree! My mom is helping to look after baby when my ML ends but she wants a maid to help her. So, I'm getting one. Quite worried. Thinking if I should install IP camera at home just to make sure she dun let anyone in or go out jalan jalan when alone at home.
