Will really be uncomfortable for me as well. Maybe ask yr hubby speak to him.
 
Nurses at the hospital brings me bb to be fed every 3-4 hrs, and funny thing is only one side of breasts is producing milk, like 12ml, the other like, has nothing!

WoWorried, quickly bought fenugreek capsules to take, hope it works
As long as you feed your baby both sides, the milk supply will come. Rest well!

I had that feeling whatever my in-law did during my confinement time, I wasn't please. They are just trying to help and in fact, skin to skin contact is good for the baby. May be you can speak to him in a different way, like asking if he feels cold not wearing any cloths etc. Sorry, I am just ke po.
 
Mrs S, suggest u take epi.. so u r more relaxed n u dilate faster.. if u cant tahan the pain and faint while pushing, it can be very dangerous. ..

Whatever drugs you take crosses the placenta to the baby. When baby reaches the birth canal, there is reduce discomfort. While you may experience more pain, and that pain comes from fear than the pain itself. If you can let your body takes over and not resist it, birth will takes place sooner without the epidural. There are lots of misconception her and lots of fear people put on others. Birth does not have to accompany with excruciating pain. You can choose to prepare your body and mind for birth if you have not done so. Don't let other's experience becomes yours. Good luck!

It is called stretch and sweep, separating the membrane(sac) from the lower segment of the uterus. a form of induction. Can be very uncomfortable and also can cause infection. You can ask for their patient and time. There is no medical urgency to get the baby out. When they break your water bag, your baby has less cushion and baby can be stressful. It is good your body is ready but baby is not ready. It's best to wait for the natural onset of labor. More natural and more exciting. Good luck and take care.

Hi Mummies, anyone here having small babies? I'm pretty worried as i'm in my 37th week but my baby is just 2kg. Not sure what to do. Gynae kept wanting to induce me to deliver the baby but i do not want baby to go to NICU and would like to drag longer to ensure that baby's lungs mature. Any similar experience to share or any advise?
