wow... so many mummies have popped from the latest update. congrats!
gingerleaf,
poor thing to hear u suffering from the woes of the battle to provide the best for ur child. try to perservere, k? gosh... u really have found the ultimate solution instead of trying breast shields!
gollygeegirlie,
yap, heard abt the breast shell thing as well, it prevents the nipples fr going sore further by preventing contact wif our clothes. not tat ex, plus, its reusuable, just need to sterilize after each use. mendala also has breast shells.
hippo, unice, dodo,
went for gynae check yesterday, she said bb's engaged, but not dilated yet, didn't realize that my tummy also has 'dropped', till my mum mentioned this morning. not sure if he's going come out on 10/10 as we all hoped for our precious babes, mayb not! but i also not quite prepared for bb's arrival coz my exam papers have just come in!!! wonder if i can finish them b4 i pop?
dodo, hippo,
both of u intend to induce? quite tough decision to make leh. not sure if should let nature takes its course or induce. but there are some mummies who managed normal delivery even though their babies quite big... coz induce somehow is still not 100% garantee as may end up c-section. but ultimately, decide based on ur comfort level n the best possible decision or both u n ur babies.
dodo,
can try walking, climbing up stairs, squatting (abt 5 times per day), etc, to get bb engaged. but must rest in between also.
sharon,
thanks for the nipple cream tip. also heard it from gynae, gonna try applying it first, hopefully can ease the pain when bb eventually pops...
Kris,
sayang... poor girl. can do a quick towel wipe or something, to at least bring down the uncomfy feeling? after the 1st week, can bath with herbs?
my mum told me 1st week, try not to bath, after tat can bathe with herbs. switch on air-con if too unbearable, then wear light PJ, mayb can help?
perlicia
best wishes. take care!
