Lyn,
Heeeee.. yes yes, I am very pro adoption and fostering…if my MIL not such a funny character (just recently she began to emphasis to us that she thinks we must have two kids, and I know its because she knows we are having a girl. Told my hubby, at least she should wait for my current bb to be born before saying such things), hubby and I would have explored the two options more. Pls don't say you are selfish, its exactly you are not selfish that you think and reflect so much about. And your mentality of doing your best now and leave no room for regrets while keeping options open is the most sensible, selfless and balanced thought. Correct sister, continue to strike on and rest at some juncture when you are tired and then gain more strength and strike on. And also, your hubby is god-sent
If he knows your sister thinks so highly of him, he sure blush blush
…I can sense you will have a very happy story to tell down the road, its only a matter of time
And pls don't thank me, you never know how much I have gain and is continuing to gain from this thread. What I have gained and continuing to gain is what money cannot buy loh.
Lyn, remember u got a bit of hyperthyorid, so best to avoid spirulina.
Ling,
Seriously, I have a lot of respect for the patient of your gynae. Her courage is beyond the word admirable. My gynae also had a patient with 6 mcs and then three kids in a row. It must also have been beyond the word painful for them but I can also imagine how strong these couples' character must have been molded along the way. Seems that they are the unbeatables. If one day couples like them publish book on their unbeatable journey, I will surely buy and read. Heheheeheee..sama sama as you, I rather have three girls, three boys walking about in the house very overwhelming leh!! Imagine if the age is close, three pairs of army boots and at least three army suits at home..
With your perservance, you will have many pairs of used small baby shoes stacked up in your house soon one
Rostrum,
Sister, I really want to say that do you know you are more forgiving and courageous than me. I might have said it before, they are some outings I die die will avoid because without fail, all the interrogation will always make me feel like a loser. So from now on, you have all our support to avoid those good for nothing outings. Go outing is to be happy at the end, not to feel like a loser.
Yeah, thanks sister, I will take care and sleep like a pig whenever I can and you also must continue to protect your wellbeing and in the very near future, my baby can look forward to having more playmates, courtesy of the factories of Rostrum and many other sisters here..heheee..I have a wish that one day our babies can become good friends/playmates. And you also don't thank me because by having friends to chit chat on this thread, it also keeps my sanity in-check being another fertility challenged sister myself you know
Hopewaves,
No, I am in the dry banking industry, although I hope to become a teacher in a kindergarden/primary school, dont mind having to wipe shit off their backside for primary ones but I will also use the chance to hug and squeeze them..heheeee..Thanks for looking me up..heheee..I just saying out some of my own experiences as I was a "totally ttcer" before..
Hopewaves, agree with Rostrum that you can consider Krabi for a short getaway? Can do spa also and its really worth it as you get the good service of the smiley Thais and its also not as exp and commercialised as in Bali. If you just want to face the innocent sea (the resorts there face the South China Sea) and really white sand, can consider Bintan like Rostrum suggested. There are very few things to do in Bintan but if doing nothing and to loss the sense of time is what you are looking for, it’s a great place, travelling there and lodging are cheap, the only more expensive item is food that is quoted in SGD.
Elle,
Pls don't mention, if I can, I wish I can "shake-up" your hubby from his daze. Good, give him time and yourself time too. He will wake up before u know it. Babies are blessings, your gal will bring a new zest of life to your family
Sat, sat sat..
I feel like counting down with you liao..
Ur gynae is so good to come in on Sat for u. Mine will charge me extra on sat. I remember you are giving birth in tmc right? I heard it’s the place with the best and most experienced midwives in singapore to help u. I attended prenatal course by tmc and the tutor nurse described the whole birthing process and breathing. Its all very "well-controlled" by the midwives. If you are using epidural, the only breathing technique you need to use is deep breathing. 1. Just deep breathing throughout to keep yourself relaxed and nothing else. 2. And the ctg machine sense contraction, the midwife will ask you to push as you might not feel the contraction well given the epidural. 3. When midwife saw that the baby's head has come out, she will ask you to stop pushing so that she (or gynae) can ease the baby out and clean her nasal passenge and prevent tear to the vaginal. When they ask you to stop pushing that moment, you stop pushing and just pant lightly like "ho ho ho", something like Liang Po Po panting style. By saying "ho ho ho", your body will naturally stop pushing to buy time to clean baby nose and let baby ease out. 4. After that, if baby not easing out, the midwife will ask you to push when necessary.
If u are not using epidural and all go natural, you will experience real childbirth pain and there are other breathing techniques involved. BUT the tutor nurse said that very often, when experiencing such pain, all that a woman can remember is still deep breathing which will suffice. Just remember that when u experience a painful contraction without epidural, breath in and at the peak of the contraction, breath out to relax urself and conserve ur strength. I am going for epidural/or even c-section if bb is still breech as people like us already know its difficult to be a mum, no need to experience real childbirth pain to know what is a great mother. Whichever method you use, just remember that in these eight years, you have gone through so many trials, what is childbirth pain, somemore with such modern science. Yes, the sisters here are all behind you in spirit in the delivery ward you remember that
Miraclebaby, Lyn,
Hope you all have recovered fully..yes, lotus soup mentioned by Rostrum is actually very good for woman, cool but not too liang. Also, when you feel you are about to fall sick that time, faster down one fresh cup of orange juice for two days in a row, take at least one day of leave/mc and sleep at home. Rest is very important to let our body fight the bacteria. I was sick two months ago and I dare not eat medicine, so I believe my mum's lotus soup, orange juice and one day of leave helped to recover naturally.
Miraclebaby,
With Rostrum's cute and sexy bom bom cheers, hope you have a smooth cycle and will deliver a pair of cute twins for this thread soon..
Gan,
Huggzz to what you have been through. All the scan results and gynaes' opinions must have caused you several emotional roller coasters... and as we all saw, your little gal is a fighter and she despite all the worries, she will be born healthy and feisty in Jan
Really really glad is a false alarm and ur hubby's decisiveness can let you enjoy the next four months liao.
