What's the symptoms of false alarm feels like??

Tightening sensation or we call that prelabour warm ups. It's the body preparing itself for labour.

Hi , may I know which mosquitos repellent is recommended for pregnant ladies ? Thanks

On top the thorough list suggested by the mom above, perhaps you can consider natural deterrents as a supplement to the usual mosquito repellants. I learnt back in school during camping trips that lemon grass is a good mosquito (and I'm guessing other bugs) repellant. We used to bruise the lemongrass stalk and dab the juice of the lemongrass on our pillows and blankets. And it worked well all the time. I haven't tried it recently but maybe I would since mosquitos seem to be a hot topic these days. It's a natural and cheap supplement that you can try, I reckon.

I am the writer for previous several posts indicating my serious nervous breakdown on the scary fears of contraction and delivery labour pains. My mum in law understood my fears & worried I am having a mental breakdown or severe depression which I am facing seriously lately! I told her directly I may want to go for C-sect with epidural delivery even if my baby is not in breech position. Because I heard from 2 friends that their C-sect's wounds are not really very painful after delivery. If painful, just take painkillers to ease. I don't know how true though. But my mum in law "insisted & psychoed" me to go for normal delivery with epidural. She told me the contraction & actual labour pains were ok to deal with which can be tolerated. But my pain threshold is extremely low. Then she also told me the wound (vagina tear or the cut due to episiotomy) wouldn't hurt as much as the big wound caused by C-sect op. She asked me: "Is it you want to have any excruciating pains from a C-sect wound? And do you know if the wound is not cleaned well, then will have infections too? Is that what I want?" She has her own points, makes sense and concerns too. She sounded really upset when I told her my current decision about C-sect with epidural and she told me very FIRMLY twice: "Ok I don't care which delivery method you used as long as my grandchild (gender unknown yet) is safely delivered! I just want to have a healthy grandchild that's all!" What should I do? She really wants me to go by natural delivery badly & maybe I want C-sect because I really don't want to experience contraction, dilation & actual labour pains! Of course I don't mind trying normal delivery with epidural as long as the anesthesia effect can last from contraction pains till full actual delivery (pushing out of baby). Pls advise mummies! Thanks!

Hello. Maybe you can try talking nicely to her or ask your hubby to talk to her. I understand old people or MIL tends to ask for normal delivery. I used to have the same problem but choice is ours we got to be firm. As long as delivering baby safely, the methods are not a problem. If baby too big also no choice got to Csec or if the head is too big also need csec. sometimes its not up to us to decide. After all you are the one who deliver a baby and not her. So make your own choice wisely.

Anyone who got really low hCg level which didn't double in every 2-3 days but still having a healthy pregnancy? It is so nerve wrecking :(

Hey mummy, here are some articles that you may find helpful. http://www.babymed.com/hcg-levels-in-early-pregnancy http://www.babymed.com/hcg-blood-level-by-week-during-pregnancy-is-it-normal# Here are some points I thought you would find useful (taken from the second article) regarding the rate of doubling of HCG values: - An hCG level in early pregnancy below 1,200 mIU/ml, the hCG usually doubles every 48-72 hours and it should normally increase by at least 60% every two days. - Between 1,200 and 6,000 mIU/ml serum levels in early pregnancy, the hCG usually takes 72-96 hours to double. - Above 6,000 mIU/ml, the hCG often takes over four or more days to double. Try to maintain an open mindset and not worry too much (though I know it is almost impossible). Wait for the next appointment and see what your doctor says. Take care!
