woah sheris! all 4 w/o epi and 13hrs max! i really kowtow to u man! i duno if i can tahan if my labour had been longer than 5hrs cos i was so tired by then, almost want to give up pushing & tell the nurse to do watever it takes to bring out my gal. i envy my CIL cos she labour for only 1hr but she had contractions for 1wk. she gave birth 3mths b4 me.

oh boy, all these talk abt labour pains is making me nervous!!! i really shudder to imagine how painful it is. me already psyched up from month 5 that i'll be going under the knife so no worries abt contractions, labour pain, iducement, dilation...
i went for GA and woke up an hour later feeling great, hey, i could finally see my toes while lying on my back!!! har har har!!!

they always pick up the bad things from us. actually from day 1 when i see his skin and doc tell me is eczema, i already know is genetic condition. I'm still battling eczema, maybe i only got it in my teens which supposedly wont outgrow, haha
I had epi cos the gas made me sick. Gynae said better have epi cos i already having sharp contractions for many hours w/o much dilating and water bag wont burst plus overdue. Induction also doesnt guarantee successful labour and might take ages. He was concerned i wont have the energy to push when is time.
I took chicken essence b4 i went hospital, supposedly will help perk up. My mil called me almost everyday to remind me
yeah i also missed those preggie days! i agree with zion, dun worry too much! enjoy your most peaceful moments now, soon u'll have to welcome a very tedious routine.

hmm... when you say "labor for 4hrs", when do you start counting?
juxta,
i had eczema since i can't remember when - very young. as i grow up, it moved to other parts of the body but since 20s, it seems like it's dying off altho occasionally i still scratch/have patches here and there...
juz hope my boy won't kena - poor thing lah

pinkie, I had these ugly patches on my neck, fold of my arms and legs in my teens. It got better as I get older. I still have this itchy left palm. Is often red and dry, was extremely bad during pregnancy. Saw a skin specialist, say can only control so much but cannot guarantee will cure so i stopped seeing and put hand cream.
My boy got very dry skin also, esp the legs, if he wears shorts and go out when he comes back, will have alot of red patches. Have to use a no soap shower cream and moisturise. Lucky is a boy hahah. How many days overdue are u now?

i always get my steriod cream from We Care clinic near my place (dr 4) - i find Dr Wong quite ok, maybe you can try
my old scars are still there, but seems to have lightened up.
i gave up on skin specialist long time ago liao
i heard QV cream (moisturizer) and cetaphil (washing soap) helps, didn't really work on me but maybe you can try
me edd 22feb - but gynae keeps saying i might pop a week earlier. and worst is he's away for vacation until 19 feb! argh

hi pinkie, thks for the recommendation. my boy's pd told us not to be too dependent on steriod cream cos it'll give a lightening effect on the patch where we apply, so we just use for treatment but not for maintenance.
I also bought cetaphil for my boy, is much better than most other wash for him, but still need moisturiser. He's an expensive kid, plenty of probs for us to spend money on. As for my hands, cos is on my palms, find it hard to keep medicine on, so i just try to moisturise.
I can understand how u feel cos my gynae also went on conference close to my EDD! Dun worry, baby is smart, they know how to wait. haha

orh - Dr Wong is for YOU (juz in case)
but i heard Dr Wong used to be a gynae in KK and seems like many parents bring their bb there...
i was an expensive kid too, eczema + sinus + heart murmur... hahahaha
i hope my boy knows how to wait - been "talking" to him everyday now... kekeke

juxta,
true true, now i become a parent then i know how difficult a time my mum went thru. being a mum is not easy, that's why they say mothers are great.

I went for checkup on Thurs too and found my baby engaged. In fact, I suspect he was engaged last week as I suddenly felt him dropping till very low. I was so worried then, cos tt time only week 34. Thursday's checkup confirmed my fear. So gynea said I can be due anytime... asked me to prepare myself - hospital bag, clear my work etc. I have to minimize walking and exercising in order not to give birth too early.
Luckily my cervic is still closed, else not sure whether can tong till this week or not.
I'm surprised tt your gynea said you will be one week earlier when your also engaged now... hmm.... hope it's true as I hope to have a mickey mouse rather than a piggy.

Hi mummies,
Interesting topic on giving birth. Gynae and midwife will insert their finger as a guideline on how many cms cervic is dilated. I'm remembered my gynae requesting me to relax as both my legs are spread out like aeroplane wings. hehehe. I'm can cope better now with the early pap smear check-up. Tell myself, breathe and relax.
Saltue mummies who didn't take up the epidural. I was strongly advised by my sis to take epidural. During the prenatal courses, learnt that there's a survey done on ppl who gone thru with/without epidural and it shown that 30% will have form of backache regardless of what they have chosen.
Also I have strong side effects of epidural, my teeth went chattering all the way even though I don't feel cold at all, I vomitted at least 3 times all over my upper body, have to change gown each time. But felt relieved after the medication is pump in thru tube. I'm glad I choose epidural cos I save my energy for the final long push. Just remember to stay as still as you can when the specialist perform the insertion of needle. You'll be asked to crouch like a letter 'C', with knee bend. I know, that's a stunt for due mummies. hahaha. When midwife check that it's 10cm dilated, will switch off the machine that control quantity to pump the medication thru the tube. You'll need to feel some kind of urge in order to push baby out. Soon, your darling will be in your arms.

huh, mbb2, then yours contract very fast? how come mine no pain? no wonder my tummy still so big; think cannot shrink back to normal ! ar har har!
mbb2, i think cant meet u up this period, rather busy with spring cleaning and baking.
Yeah, i also hate the part after giving birth and had to wear that super thick pad, plus washing the woundn. I have this phobia that its going to split open! I think the malay lady did a good job in massaging me, although i still have a slight tummy cos i always have haha.
She commented my gynae did a good job in removing the excess blood in the uterus thats why my bleeding was minimal. She shared some stories like some gynae didnt do a good job, after that, a whole chunk dropped down while in the toilet.
I had the epidural mark on my back, according to her was a pool of the drug that didnt disperse, so she massaged it away and really the U shape disppeared.

wow, i din do any massaging, no wonder the tummy refuse to flatten. some ppl advised me to wait; some said to do after 1 month. confused.... now already 8 months, think too late already hor? but at least it's not so bad now; perhaps look like 3 or 4 mo preggie only. now lesser chance of ppl giving me their seats on the MRT!
mbb2, just a reason to force myself to clean the house and for good luck, haha
i've a big frame, so my pregnancy didnt show much, even at 7-8 mths pregnant, i ccould still get away with ppl thinking i'm fat loh. Hardly anyone gave up seat to me on the MRT!
The massage thing not only helps to flatten tummy, supposedly to push all the organs and intestines back to position as they're squashed up that 10 months
