Talking about pregnancy ...

I wanna share you a story about my wife. How we went thru our pregnancy. My OLDEST son during fetus time, his intestine was outside we found out during those normal routine scan. It was a very serious matter.

Both My wife and my SON have to do surgery. Once my son was born I still remember seeing him inside this TUBE. With his intestine outside. He can't be expose to outside due to there might be a risk of infection. And there were SOO many cables monitoring him and even from the slightest change of temperature the machine will do a lot of beeping noise and you can see all the nurse attending to it. After seeing him he had immediately go into another surgery. Which was painful to wait outside. My mum in law and my mother was praying for his well being.

While my wife, she was in soooo much pain from the surgery that she can even barely TALK. I remember the first few days she can't even talk to me. Then the nurse tell her that she have to walk. If not mistaken ..hehehe ... But it wasn't easy for her as well as for me

Once the doctor came out he told me that the operation was succesful and manage to put all the intestine in. Goodnews was short lived. As times goes by, they notice my son wasn't coping very well after the surgery. He had to go thru xray and scan only found out what was wrong. The intestine didn't function well and they can't absorb the food and nutrition intake.

so HE HAD to go another surgery. I remember sitting inside the ward crying just to pray nothing happen to him. I wasn't easy going thru the first month. I remember the first month he had to stay NICU in the hospital. I remember we have to celebrate full moon inside the hospital with him. It was a happy moment but none of us gave up. It was really sad to see there was SOOOOO many wires and tubes attach to him like a robot.

But all good went thru and you can see him at my wife's blog

From what i've heard from mother's and mum-in-law .. Pain Killer's don't really help. The labour pain is still there. No difference.
But the drug may react differently to each and different individual

I believe Kapitan have answered you there.

If you still maintain workout's when your pregnant and after pregnant then it shouldn't be a problem. But it may differ with different individual as well.

Yeah i have to agree with you.

To have fully knocked out It's much painful. You have to recover from the "HANGOVER" and the pain @ your abdominal.

An CONGRATS to you and your BABY. You have started a wonderful journey and i tell you looking after a baby

Not an easy job for mothers. You have all my
