true.. in fact, we took out the bumper when ds was back from hospital. cos we cant see what he is doing in the cot if we lie down on our bed. haha :tlaugh:
haa.. totally true.. anyway, that was the easiest time to change their diaper. when they start to toss and turn.. wah.. must use the faster way to change... now even have to change when they turn, cos they dont want to lie on their back.. haa
Even though I bought the bumper but I still hesitate whether to put it or not cos like u guys said can see what bb is doing and I also worry it is too hot for Bb no ventilation

Oh, my bumper, comforter, pillow come in a set with the baby cot. So i guess have to store them aside for the time being.
Need to ask experience mummies, i'm afraid the baby will leak urine / poo as i'll be giving him cloth nappy with diaper cover (the traditional type) during daytime. I do have a changing mat when doing the changing for the nappy. But do mummies still put the changing mat or some protection cover on the cot when the baby sleep to prevent staining the bedsheet/mattress?
I'm kiasu, got a waterproof mattress protector to place inbetween the mattress and bedsheet but now afriaid will stain the bedsheet do so many washing.:nah:

Actually not all induction may take a long time. For my first boy, was induced at 39 weeks 6 days cos almost full term still dun wan to come out, started at 9am and he came out by 3pm on the same day. But I dun really rem them inserting any pills for induction, more like drips.
For the case of a close gf, she had to be induced at 38weeks cos amiotic fluid low, gynae inserted a pill for her to start dilation and she walked around town for almost a day to try to speed up dilation, but din't work out until next day.

as mentioned before it's all up to individual. some lucky one will get it over in short period some is a prolong period...for my colleagues all had prolong period and some even ended up emergency C sect cos BB in distress already

Whatever it is, pray hard that all of us will be blessed with a smooth delivery
for things that we can't really control, we can only relax....

my cousin also have the same 'problem' as u, quite similar cos tt time she has pass her edd (though u're not), no sign of contractions, gynae asked her to choose btwn induce or c-sect. but her gynae told her if induce fail, means emergency c-sect. she dun wanna pay for both normal delivery n emergency c-sect, so she just go for c-sect.
like u said, some ppl lucky, even cervix not dilated but still able to delivery within short time aft induce while some, they cant. so now, i think best is to discuss with ur hub and gynae, which way is the best for u. Once again, mummy n baby safety is much more impt than the method of delivery. =)

No win win situation, we woman still have to "suffer" no matter which option we choose!:err:
yah... had discussed with hubby and both of us decided to go straight to C sect... we not keen to put myself and BB through worst case scenario ..prolong suffering and distress :001_302: will inform gynae of our decision next visit... though i think gynae prefer induce...dunno why

yup.. but to some ppl, they might tot c-sect is easier cos dont nd to suffer from contractions pain (for those who went thru scheduled c-sect(. my gynae told me b4, natural birth mummies suffer during contractions but recover faster. c-sect mummies dont feel the pain when bb is being carried out but aft tt, mummy will be in pain for sometime. giving birth is PAIN, no matter which way we choose. hahahahaha!
actu most gynaes prefer their patients to go thru natural birth, tt's y.. =)

oso for c-sect, i heard cos of the pain after delivery, u may feel difficulty breastfeeding initially, since baby gotta rest on ur tummy when u hold him... but that is if u intend to breastfeed....
and don't forget that if ur first is gona be c-sect, subsequent delivery will most likely have to be c-sect oso cos there can be some risk involved if u do vbac...

but induce already not natural already :tlaugh:
guess that is when nursing pillow will come in handy :tlaugh:
anyway ...my main concern is now... why think so far about subsequent birth ?

yup, must prepare a nursing pillow. it really helps. even for those who go for natural, nursing pillow also helps i think.

nursing pillow not bad. not only mummy can use when bb is older, lik 3-4 mth old, can use to tilt them up. quite useful but i only use for a few mth and nw is in the storeroom. :tlaugh:
