I don't know about the HPT kit coming from the same manufacturers and then re-packaged for different brands part, but most HPT are pretty much the same.

Anyways, I don't recall any specific promotion for HPT kits. Usually if Guardian or Watson have sales, the HPT kits might also have discounts on them as well. And if I'm not mistaken, Watson is having some sales right now.

2 separate occasions... im a student, supposed to pull out the baby as well but the doc wont let me, so i only got to pull out the placenta.. wasn't much fun though..

hi all, quick question... who's the recommended OB-Gyn specialist nearest to cyberjaya area? thanks.

That's probably cause the baby is alive and the placenta is not, so that's why the doctor decided it that way!

But then again, snap the cord and you'll give them a big headache.. so well done!

OOoo... dont know man. Just go to any hosp and they'll have their specialist there?

I'd really like to help, but I have no idea since I'm in KL. But I think, Hosp Putrajaya or Hosp Serdang should have good OB-GYN there...

well, if you're not familiar with baby delivery, it's better to start off with placenta delivery.
learn how to delivery via control cord traction and fundal pressure first...dun rush. identify signs of placenta detachment -> gushing of blood, lengthening of cord and increase in fundal height.

dun rush to pull that thing out or you'll ended up uterine prolapse or retained placenta. by the time you see the placenta, you can start deliver placenta via turning motion to keep the membrane intact.

once you get better on this, then volunteer yourself to deliver some uncomplicated multip case. Most probably you wont have chance to do primi case because it require episiotomy.

it's kinda struggle to wait for the baby out...you wnt have nice sleep during obs oncall...baby just pop out anytime they want.

When you get to conduct a delivery, you'll know how wonderful it is to bring a baby into this world.

One of the greatest feeling is to see life being born into the world. The whole delivery thing is really touching for those who havent seen it before..

LOL, not to mention messy..

anyway, nowadays we're trying to cut down on episiotomies..
have had some primids (first time Moms) delivering with an intact perineum..
of coz, conducted my a Medical Officer, baby's weight usually < 3.5kg, Mom not too short, perineum looks stretchable & not short too..

damn, no more working in maternity.. now doing Internal Medicine..

Oh well, great start.. means you got through that posting!

How many babies did you deliver during your time there? btw, u working in a busy hospital where the labour rooms are always full? lol... then surely lots of babies were delivered by u!

yeah, managed to get through O&G..
hmm.. depends lah, was posted to the labour room with 3-4 colleagues for a month, 7am-5pm, delivered about 2-5 babies per day.. coz my hospital has this practice of allowing midwives & nurses delivering the babies of mothers from the general ward (uncomplicated cases), whereas 2nd & 1st class mothers must be attended by a doctor..

otherwise, just on call 1-2 times per month in the labour room at night.. deliveries can range from 2-10..
total deliveries during my 4 months: 40-50? can't really recall..
yeah, quite busy, vaginal delivery rate is about 100 per week, i think..

Hey, you guys with Govt Hosp, is it? So 1st & 2nd class moms get doctors? Not midwives? What about those who went through the Emergency room? Will they be handled by doctors or midwives?

at my particular centre, the Maternity Hospital is separate from the General Hospital.. but if in the case of Emergency Childbirth who mistakenly landed up at the Casualty Department, the doctor there would take charge..

Hey great experienced you've gain over there... thinking about specializing in OnG?

thanks for this reply. we actually ended in so far Sime Darby Subang Jaya Medical Centre.

But he was very very veryy tired coz whole morning in grandma funeral so i ask him go and have a rest. i tot was ntg so im trying to close my eyes and have some rest too but the contraction keep bothering me was getting worse and worse then i when to the toilet i saw a bit blood come out already.. i directly go call my hubby to wake up and send me to hospital. He was like half awake >.< then not more then 5 min my water bag burst out already.then i shout to my hubby he directly wake her mother and drive me to serdang hospital.. tht time my feeling i donno how to describe about the situation haha.. worry + scare + PAIN......... >.< reach hospital i still need wait for tht damm.. reception to register.. Stupid ppl still ask me wait. I already pain until No enegry to say anything already. then she only ask me go inside the room... the doctor still ask me go toilet and pee lolz.. i cant even pee coz already pain like a baby come out already.. so i go out directly from the toilet and told the nurse regarding this and she ask me to lay back on the bed again and the doctor come and check... she told me already open 8cm and have to rush me in to the labour room.. she still scare me with a words " Anak pertama ke ? sangat sakit tau... terutama kepala keluar masa itu, rasalah nanti sakit itu" zzzzzzzZZZZ reach labour room they ask me to change my clothes and ask me to wait until my cevical open till 10cm i was alone inside the room. SCARE + PAIN cant imagine i cant tahan lolz. i tot pain till donno how already as my fren told me deliver baby story was a scariest and horrible in alll women life. But i didnt tHink much i just feel the pain from my back tulang thts the worst pain i've ever had. when the deliver prosses i just know the nurse ask me to "Push" then i just follow the intruction she told me she will cut a bit from my vaginal to the anus part to prevent "koyak" when the baby head come out that time. then not more then 20min baby successful on delivery already. the feeling once the baby out was like " when u go to toilet, hard to constipation" thats the feeling haha~ My hubby was like very shock coz the nurse promise to call him go inside the labour room and accompany me but then my delivery was too fast i only feel pain on my vaginal when they doing the " jahit" on my vaginal part to the anus part thats the most painful eventhough already pass for 2 years but i donno why i still feel my vaginal "jahit" part pain when having sex especially >.< my hubby saids maybe its ur own trouma >.<

Hey nice sharing Glad everything went smooth in the end. How's our little baby doing?

Well, they had to make you pee because the bladder will get in the way of the delivery if it's not empty. Like an obstruction. Anyway, your pain should be gone by now. Probably the wound didnt heal that well.. speak to your gynae about it, and see what he/she says. It really shouldnt persist

hmm, what to share??

1st son = ceaserean (now 13teen years old)
2nd dauther = vacum sucktion ( 10 years old)
3rd son = forcep (7 years old)
4th son = baru normal labour (2.5 years old)

Wow, great that your wife managed 3 vaginal deliries after the first caeserean.. usually the scar would be the weak point, and 2 normal births are advocated only. Wish you well
