Brazillion Sugaring few days before edd

Anyone did Brazilian waxing or sugaring few days before edd ? Hows the pain level? I have scheduled Brazilian sugaring at my usual place 3 days before edd/being induced and am a little scared of the pain level. Ive been doing it since pre-pregnancy and during 2nd trim onwards and realised after 6/7 months onwards, the pain level has doubled 🥵 Most prob due to extra sensitive skin and the skin around it has swelled abit.

I did. I wax regularly so it felt normal to me.

Coconut water to have clean baby?

Anyone drinks coconut water during pregnancy so baby will come out “clean”? Im annoyed at how my MIL keep asking me pushing me to drink coconut water so baby will come out clean lol so what if baby comes out dirty? Baby is literally inside me for 9/10 months what do you expect. Old people and their beliefs

Ure the mummy of ur LO. Do what u feel is right.

Wondering how many of you have first born overdue? What are the circumstances that allow the baby to stay in womb longer? And how much longer? Did you have to induce? How to keep baby inside longer than EDD, hoping to keep another week in 😅 and do elective c sec like week 40-41

It depends on the condition of yourself and baby. And also if the gynae & hospital itself allow it. For me, i was not dilated at 38+4w and gynae asked me to induce max by due date to reduce risk of stillbirth and any other compliaction, altho me and baby is in great condition no complication. You can discuss with your gynae. I think for KKH sometimes they only allow until 40 weeks if still no labor sign theyll ask to induce the next day. I also dont want to risk it cs im scared baby’s umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck or smtg

Staying with MIL and expect me to do whatever she did after given birth

Currently staying @ in law’s and its just getting way too annoying MIL keep telling me i should be doing this i should be doing that be it during pregnant or after given birth. She expect me to do whatever she did when she was pregnant & given birth. It’s so annoying. Her days are long gone and some people need to really stop expecting the newer generation or us, to do whatever they did in the olden days. To them everything they did is correct and everything we do is wrong just because they have lived longer and brought up more children 🙄 My parents never even say anything but she’s always the one exaggerating. She even say itll be harder for me to give birth vaginally just cause im petite and skinny. Im 1.56cm & weighed 50kg before pregnancy i believe thats average. I can foresee my postpartum ill be more depressed because of her than the baby itself. And also she like to tell me to do stupid stuff like oh thats what the people in the olden days did. And i should be doing it. Like when bathing on the day im gg to hospital to give birth i should suck the end of my hair. Like wtf? I should eat 1 tablespoon of oil so baby will slit out smoothly. I should unlock all locks in my room. And keep saying i should drink coconut water so baby will be clean when birthed. So what if baby is dirty? The baby literally lived inside me for months ofcourse when it first come out itll not be as clean. And die die keep saying i should get a masseuse for my baby to hot compress my baby boy’s ball sack. Man this is getting way too annoying and ofcourse oldies being oldies they will never want to hear what we want to say. I did tell my husband all these and he just told me to ignore cause he also dont believe all these. Malay mums and their stupid beliefs.

I feel you!! Please talk to your hub or family n frens because when baby is out. It's gonna be worse n the depression is real.

Private patient @ KKH will it be same for child if go a&e?

I have changed from subsidized to private gynae @ KKH. After giving birth in the event i needed to go to children’s A&E at KKH, will my child still be charged as private patient or can be under subsidized ? If private, how do i go back to subsidized ?

go through polyclinic route to get a referral for subsidized rate. if go through a&e it’s a fixed fee. if you mean for ward stay, will have to apply for subsidy. nothing to do with your private rate already.

Induced but not dilated?

Hi mummies! I'm 38+5 today, am still anxiously waiting for natural labour signs. Anyone experienced doctor advised induction but cervix not soft and not dilated yet? How was your labour like? Did you end up giving birth naturally or e-csect?

My first child was induced at 41 weeks. I give birth after more than 12 hrs in labour. Mine was vacuum assisted delivery. I was induced due to 3cm dilated for more than a week and I am not further dilating despite in labour with waterbag broke. I did had other birth plan in mind if everything dont go as plan. I discuss with on duty doctor. I choose from vacuum assisted to forceps to last option c section. Induced is painful but how your body react to the medication and how it react to contractions. Individually will experience differently.

How many ml to supplement fm for newborn

Im preparing myself for post delivery. Heard that milk will come in slowly and will start off very little amd sometimes supply will stay low (ofc depends on individual body). If my milk ckmes in very little, if after latching baby and baby is still hungry, how do i know how many ml should i give him? Especially newborn. Do i just make like 60ml first then see he drinks until which ml? #FTM

There’s a suggestion on the fm tin. Can always make 30ml and top up again 30ml if baby “asks” for it. You will know.

Csect recovery tips

Hi hi i will be delivering soon, and so scared it might end up with ecsection. However, i also do want to prepare myself in the event i will end up needing to do it. I have zero tolerance for pain. Can experienced mummies let me know hows your recovery, and was it long and very painful? Any tips and advise for recovering from csec? As im a ftm. How many weeks after did you start your postnatal massage ? #firsttimemom #advicepls

The only painful part of csect for me was the epidural jab. I’ve 0 pain tolerance and post surgery did not hurt thanks to painkillers. You might feel uncomfortable but it’s not painful pain, it’s the muscle cramp/ache kind of pain. Recovery was smooth but was on painkillers for the first week. Always wear ur binder if you do csect cos the binder helps to keep the tummy in place and reduces any discomfort. It was awkward when I took out the binder like I couldn’t function as per normal hahah. Post natal massage I did after 21 days. (As long as you can lie on ur tummy without feeling any pain,should be good to go)

Size of tummy after birth

Once we have given birth, will our stomach still be as big as before birth ? Or itll be slightly smaller

Mine just pretty much looks like a deflated balloon with excessive flesh after birth. Took a few months to shrink back.
