if you choose "2. inhalation entonox thru  a mask", remember to take deep breaths.

Normally, a stay-in confinement nanny for 28 days charge you for S$1.7-S$1.8. Not sure about non-stay-in.

However, I would like to advise you to have all the rest/ sleep as much as you can. Leave the baby to the nanny. you will have your turn to  take care of your baby. Remember, rest for a month only but taking care of your baby for the rest of your life. I take care of my baby during my confinement month although I did hire a nany. Now ended up here and there pain as I sit & walk a lot. Eyesight also geting worse as I read book and watch TV too.

I was given the book guide too but during the delivery moment, no one asked me for which type that I want. Once you say you can't stand it, they will presume that you want the epidural. Maybe I was wrong. But they didn't ask me which one I want.

Perhaps you can discuss with your gynae during your next visit. She/ he would be able to explain to you more.

And remember those deep breathe u take have to be during when u feel yr contractions coming..otherwise it will not be effective..The first time i use this 'laughing gas', the midwife did not guide me how to use it properly until i told her i m in deep pain...I also took the pethidine injection then but it did not help much at all..instead my right leg had numbling sensation after that n it took a few days to subside..
So for my 2nd delivery, i survived thru by using 'laughing gas' only...very agony but still managed to endure cos my pain threshold quite high..The scariest part is moments after my delivery, i discovered tat my eyes & nose blood vessel had broke due to extreme pushing n there were blood stains in my tears n blood mucus in my nose..
so before u decide which pain relieve to take, do consider yr pain threshold level too...

Yes, having enough rest is important esp during the 1st month n also the confinement lady will help to prepare some tonic for u..In fact, after the 1 month of "recuperation", u will feel much better..My mother-in-law always tell me tat if u take good care during the 1st month, it will help to improve yr overall health condition..otherwise, it may deterriorate n u will fall sick n feel tired very often..
