I can't wait for baby's first HARD KICK, I can't wait to know the sex so I can start buying lots and lots of nice baby clothes, I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over (but i also don't want baby to come out so fast *fickle-minded*) so i can finally enjoy my raw salmon and oysters and a glass of ice cold BEER!! I can't wait for Baby to call me MAMA!!

And i seriously can't wait to BINGE on JUNK FOOD and ICE CREAM and EAT LIKE A PIG!! :D OMG!! lolz.. so many of the can't waits to do !!

How to Avoid a Cesarean - Ten Steps to Take for a Healthy Delivery, Page 3 of 6 - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com
Actually saw this web on "how to avoid a cesarean" .. haha.. dunno how true but i like this two points from the webby..

3-Stay Home for as Long as Possible During Early Labor
Early labor is the longest stage of labor, especially in first time moms. You will be more comfortable, and less stressed in your home environment and your pain level will stay lower at home than once you arrive at the hospital. Staying home during early labor also helps you avoid unneeded interventions like enforced fasting, routine IV's, and constant EFM which can all increase your chances of Cesarean delivery.

4-Avoid Induced Labor if Possible
Studies have proven that the average first time mother actually has a gestational period of 41 weeks and 1 day. According to the research you aren't "overdue" until you hit 42 weeks. Be sure you discuss with your doctor or care provider whether an induction you may be discussing is absolutely necessary. Many inductions fail for the simple reason that the baby wasn't ready yet. In fact, medically induced labors are associated with an increase in Cesarean rates three times higher that of "God appointed" labors.

Carisella - Its actually not that long lah. Time flies when you have a newborn! Barely any time to eat or sleep especially if you don't have confinement nanny or in-laws to help.

I believe the peeling skin is from the leftover vernix (white creamy substance covering baby when born) and also because they've been immersed in amniotic fluid for so long... so their skin needs a little time to adapt to the outside world. Will resolve on its own after a while. Shouldn't be ezcema at such an early age? Let's hope your baby doesn't inherit daddy's skin!

Chocobaby - We're Singaporeans, but living overseas for a couple of years. Your boy sounds so cute, wanting to teach the baby to kick @ss and run away from you! Haha he's going to be one loving brother!

Carisella - why cannot eat junk food and ice-cream during pregnancy? That's what I've been surviving on so far leh, since my baby rejects most proper food.

Oh, and the study you found about inducing labour is true. We decided to induce my girl at 40 weeks cos too impatient to wait further, in the end nearly kena c-section cos no progress after almost 28 hours of labour. Only after the gynae said to prepare for caesarean THEN she finally decided to come out. So since then we always think that this kid must 'threaten' her otherwise she won't move! =)

Haha.. tat was becoz boy boy easy to "spot" ba..
But hor, will our EDD bring forward?

Actually, 14 weeks scan that time saw something sticking there already but doc just went "hmmmmmmmmmmm"
then Saturday scan , baby was in a good position facing forward but then when gynae zoom in, baby turn turn turn until buttock face us :( * I was like :O * Nurse saw my expression and laff at me, then doc said "cannot see properly" :( so notti

My EDD at first was 30th Aug then after went to TMC for the Down Syndrome Scan they said become 4th Sept..
Saturday scan that time EDD changed to 28th Aug.. I think not accurate also la.. lol.. When baby is ready to come out, it'll ownself come out la.. haha.. Don't wanna stress over it also .. But just come out after the Chinese 7th Month can already :( Dear mommy me got exams in early August

By the way, any mommies had friends/family/relatives with first birth going up to 42 weeks? Just wondering to see how accurate the study from the website i read yesterday was as it mentioned that fail inductions are simply because the baby wasn't ready yet, and medically induced labors are associated with an increase in C-Sect rate 3 times higher than non-medically induced labors.

With my first baby gynae estimated that I could go all the way to 41 weeks. But we chose to induce at 40 weeks exactly cos my hubby had some important conference to present papers at and he wanted baby out first! In the end my induction nearly ended up in C-section. Cos no progress for 28 hours of labour man... Even before that my gynae also warned at the last few checkups that if the baby is not ready, most inductions end up in C-section, especially if bb cannot tahan the trauma of long induced labours.

One of my friends gave birth to her first baby at 41 weeks 4 days... And she had been waiting impatiently for her daughter since 37 weeks so it was an extra month before baby made its appearance.
