oh, and I have also read and heard about castor oil. but it sounds scary too, all that pain from diarrhea and vomitting. I have also read that it might cause distress to the baby, and the baby might poop, resulting in meconium in the sac or during delivery. I wouldn't want that. I have first hand account of meconium being inhaled by a baby before during delivery.. and it didn't make it. that in itself is enough for me not to use castor oil. if I have to be induced, I'd rather get it medically done.
sex and orgasms may help but I also researched it and seems that some mums tried it, but didn't ever work. so I guess when a baby is ready, it will start labor. if it's not, it just wouldn't happen (even with castor oil!)
so I shall just have to be patient.
for those who are bored waiting for their babies to arrive: maybe we can meet up for lunch next week, one of the weekdays, have some sort of taitai ish lunch?![]()
I started mine on day 6...more like cos I wanted to settle down after discharge first...I heard from my massage auntie that some pple start right after discharge so I guess it's up to uhi for those mummies had delivered..
When do you start your post natal massage?
im using the pigeon nipple cream...willQ for mums who are breastfeeding: what nipple cream are you using?? do you wipe them off before breast feeding your baby?
Kary! Wow you seem to be one of those glam mummies. I doubt I'd take the effort to doll myself up before going into labour. Haha! I guess I'm gonna be fine with myself looking like a messy gorilla after all the pushing.Eeneyminey - same I keep saying I have no clothes that fit me anymore.. But anyways few more weeks for us, and then I'm sure we should be able to fit into our old clothes sooni...
I'm planning on straightening my hair and putting on some light make up for when I go in for the delivery too... Lol.. Though I don't know for how long it will last, but may just keep touching up if I can.. Was thinking with all the screaming and pushing and sweating when the baby sees me for the first time she might get scared and go like OMG who are you, and might want to run back inside hahahaha... So might as well do it in style.. and I think you should also do that one special date night with your hubby it just helps to boost you up... I would have wanted mine to be more of a surprise, but I didn't see that coming so had to just tell him that we should do this and it was indeed lovely![]()
camcam: did the cervical check hurt because you have yeast infection? I am having a recurring yeast infection for months.. comes and goes.. it's now back with a vengeance. I really hope it will go away as I am due so soon: I can't imagine the pain for a baby going through my vagina while I have an yeast infection!!! I can't even have penetrative sex without crying thanks to the yeast. grar!!!Kary! Wow you seem to be one of those glam mummies.

I went to the gynae yesterday, and he did the vaginal check for me. At first he put some cream substance that I think should be lubricant, but it BURNT LIKE FIRE! And then he started swiping and feeling inside and it was really uncomfortable. But doctor informed me that although my EDD is about a week away, there is no signs of early dilation or whatsoever. He says baby is still too comfortable to come out. Sigh.
But the worst part is, I had to fall sick at this last crucial moment. And my heavy flu and fever isn't getting much better because doctor prescribed very mild medications. Because of the flu, I've lost quite a bit of weight in a matter of days and that is worrying me.
Another thing is, the extreme pain in my right rib that has been going on for a long time. It feels like something cutting into me. And there was one time when I felt a "piak!" after baby kicked. So doctor was telling me because of my extreme pain, he advises that I go for a simple X-ray scan after I give birth to check for any hairline fracture. @.@ I think I'm the only new mummy who has such weird complications?!![]()
And all the birth stories are so exciting and inspiring, but scary at the same time! Haha! I want mine to be really really fast and I'm planning to wait till my contractions are about ten mins apart before going into labour ward? So afraid of the pain.![]()
Maybe one day when our babies are a few months old, we can have a mummies meet up with a little picnic or something! It will be so fun!![]()
Oh my! That sounds terrible! Isn't there a way of making it go away permanently? Nope I did all my tests and I've got no infections. But the substance that my gynae applied and the way he was "digging" inside was uncomfortable to me. Hahaha! Can't imagine myself during labor. I'll probably wake the WHOLE HOSPITAL up with my screams. :/ gosh.camcam: did the cervical check hurt because you have yeast infection?
