Any Mummies to be here?!

[Vivien Wong]

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...

Wow, I really first time heard. Seems very scary to me. I think Kool you shouldn't read more about our experiences liao. Later you have phobia. I myself wants at least 4 children since I came from a big family (6 of us) but when I think and think, I don't think I can be a "mad woman" for four times! Haha Esp since young I have been taking care of 4 of my siblings and two of my aunt's baby. Added with my own experience of being "paralysed," really scary. Maybe another one three years down the road.

So two is nice for me. How about the rest?

I had epidural. After birth for 3 mths body ache. Even driving when checking for blind spot, wah...the neck was pain.

Fortunately, went for acupuncture about 8 sessions recovered fully. No more aching till today.

Mummy is the greatest person in the universe. She gave us our bodies at the expenses of her health, she takes care of our physical and emotion needs throughout our lives. I wouldnt noe how great are Mummies without being a Mum myself.

For me, 1 child is enuf.
I was induced for labor but stayed in the labour ward for 24hours, not diliating. I was on epidural for at least 12hours and in the end, sent for Ccrian instead. During then I was while awake (half body numb from epidural). Doctors in KKH are in general, very ethnical. They will make sure u try until cannot then go for Ccrian. For me, it was a 3 days episode torture. The bloody checking of cervice is the worst of the entire process. Everytime the doctors come checking cervice, I feel like biting my tongue and die.
