From what I noticed ... Alot of married woman nowadays tends to give birth after 30 cause of their career and such .

It was tough enough carrying a baby when you're in your 20s. In your 30s... I can't imagine la. But then again, yes, I'm part of a YahooGroups and in that group, there's a 38 year old lady who got pregnant.

I've always said that my daughter raised me, as much (if not more) as I'm raising her. I had her when I was 22. Gave birth to her in October, I went back to school for my degree in December. Those were trying times, and luckily, I did well in my studies...

Now I've another baby boy who's about 10 months old... And the cycle begins again...

no, never let your child stop you from doing anything good. but hey, like i said, she raised me as much as i raised her.

Great sharing... hope you have great fun with your 10mth old boy! There's going to be a difference raising a boy and girl, and you will tell when he's a year and a half and starts walking around.. and then he'll run around.. and whoa, a boy is a boy! smile.gif

yes, he's quite a handful. already climbing all over the place although he still cannot walk. very different from the sister who, although quite adventurous herself, is slightly more... softer or girly la..

well, there's always advantage getting pregnant in early years instead of older age...
1st, faster recovery period...and most important...you can regain your body shape faster...(from what i observe from younger mother)...

body shape? ahah. ahaha. AHAHAHA.

but ur right lah. I guess the still high metabolisme rate etc helps in this sense.

When ppl are having intercourse when bathing and the male partner ejeculate on the female partner's body, will the worms follow the water down and into the female's partner's body?
*
First of all, they're not worms. (are you on drugs or something?)

Second, the chances of pregnancy that way is slim to none. #1, the "worms" have a long way to go. #2, there's still your ovulation cycle to take into consideration. #3 God is not that humourous. people who refer to sperm as 'worms' definitely needs a lot more growing up to do, ergo is in no business to have kids.

Now i dont dare to have another kids 1st coz im worrying about taking care a kids is kinda headache for me.. wait till my in law really come to KL and permanently here then i only think about to have a 2nd child... unsure.gif  unsure.gif

Support network is everything when you're a young mom. I don't think I can pull off being a young mom if my family and husband weren't supportive. Sometimes this support network goes beyond just helping you take care of your child, they're there for support -- advise, guidance etc.

But there's also a downside, of course. Chances are, you'll pretty much have to listen to your mom/MIL nagging, telling you what to do, how to raise your kid, bla bla bla. But after some time, you'll learn how to balance their "guidance" with your own knowledge and gut feeling -- mommy instinct.

By doing abortions, you are actually at risk of not being able to conceive in the future. Imagine when you are married, financially prepared and you can't have a baby because of the abortion.

And I've read a lot of stories on girls/women who took the easy way out and end up regretting it for the rest of their life. The guilt. You'll miss the little thing in you.

Abortion=Killing a life!

So if you are looking for ways to get rid of the little precious, why don;t you look for ways on how to earn extra money so that you are financially ready for the baby?
*
It's good when things are always black and white, isn't it?

Imagine this. You're a girl, then you were raped. You got pregnant as a result of that. Would you keep the baby knowing the baby is the child of your rapist? As much as the baby is your child, the hurt is still there. Would you, as a human being, be able to look past that hurt to have the baby and raise the child free of hate? And what about the society? What about their scorn and the stigma you and the baby will have?

I am pro-choice. I don't agree with abortion as a birth control method. I do, however, agree on abortion on certain conditions - condition being if the mother's life is threatened by having the baby.

In the rape case pregnancy, if I was in that situation, I'd have the baby. If there is no harm in me as mother to carry the baby to full term, then I'd carry the baby and raise the baby as best as I could.

at first, she'll have contraction pains, which will get more frequent & intense..
imagine that you have a stomachache, went to toilet, but nothing comes out, & stomach still hurts.. something like that.. tongue.gif
during the delivery of the head, the vagina will feel painful, coz it;s being streeeeetched really badly..
but the delivery of the head is usually a very swift process..

of coz, the husband's hand will feel pain when kena genggam by the wife.. tongue.gif
don't forget that their wallets will hurt for the next 20-25 years.. tongue.gif

But I thought the shoulders just slide out quickly?

Yeah, actually, once the head is out, then it's all clear.

But for my oldest, she actually came out feet first (breach? that's the term, right?), hence my post on the shoulder being ouchies.

Can you just imagine, babies' heads aren't even fully formed yet -- as in, their skull is not even a whole "round" piece, so as to accommodate their birth...

Yup, you're absolutely right! They skull undergo a process called MOULDING which eases the delivery by adapting the the birth canal! smile.gif

Ooo.. you had a BREECH delivery? Very cool.. didnt they try to turn the baby while she's still inside?

So how many children do you have? Interesting experience you're sharing with us! smile.gif
*
I dunno about "cool", but yes, my oldest (girl, will be 5 this october), came out feet first. I went into labour about 5 weeks earlier than the due date, so I wasn't expecting it or anything. One day, got home from work, lie down, and suddenly my water broke. Very the drama. I guess the fact that I didn't what the heck to do (despite watching tonnes of CDs, reading books about childbirth etc) and the fact that I was very much panicked, I literally just followed the flow.

My 2nd child will be 1 this Saturday (21st Feb). His delivery was a bit easier, in terms of I know what to expect and do, that is! biggrin.gif

Both deliveries with no epidural or whatnot. I think the doctor gave me a shot of some muscle relaxant (or something, I'm not sure, my hubby knows the name of the shot).

your shot could be Pethidine (an opiate based analgesia), used to calm the mothers down & relieve the labour pains when it's not time to deliver..

First and foremost, the "BudakJahat" nick sounds very misleading, LOL!

Anyway, I actually thought they should have discovered you had a breech much earlier based on USG and should have planned your delivery well. In the end, it still came out so not a problem la! smile.gif

Congratulations! Good to hear you're expecting your child this saturday! Do tell us more stories k?

Btw, which hosp do you go to? Private? Government? KL?
*
I think you got my message wrong... My 2nd child will be 1 this Saturday. I already gave birth to him last year. wink.gif

Both kids were born at a private hospital. I think the first child was more of a surprise, cos the last ultrasound I had, the doctor mentioned she was sideways. But since my due date was about a month +- away, and the fact that the baby was very active in utero, then they thought she'd move to the right position when the time comes -- who knew 'the time' was actually very near.

Anyway, it's true what they said. Babies tend to move towards the end of pregnancy, and usually after 37 weeks if they're still stuck there, then they'll attempt to turn the guy/girl around. Anyway, yours came early so no choice. Surprise they didnt op for C-section! Any reasons?

I think because it was a bit late to do that by the time I got to the hospital? Her feet was probably dangling or something tongue.gif

yeah, i work at the Labour Room as a house officer, will be ending my posting over there soon..

well, the delivery of the head is solely the mother's effort.. hence the 'difficulty'..
whereas once the head is out, the midwife can then help to pull the baby out, while delivering the shoulders quite effortlessly..

contractions pains can occur any time, but to say that true labour has started, the pain has to be regular, & the cervix will gradually thin out & 'open'..
once the cervix has 'opened' to 3 or 4cm (depending on the Hosp), with adequate contractions (preferably 3-4 contractions in 10 mintes), labour will be allowed to progress for 8-12 hours..
it is expected that the cervix should be fully 'open' by then.. (correct term would be the cervical os)
after the oss is fully dilated, the mother is encouraged to bear down to deliver the baby..
usually the delivery process (the part where the Mum is asked to push) will be allowed to take up to 1 hour, but if the fetus' heart monitor shows that it is ok, then some centres may allow an additional 1 hour (provided that the Mother is healthy & not exhausted)
*
oooo.. no wonder all the technical terms come out tongue.gif

Now, here's the thing, when people say they're in labour for 437 hours or whatever, what exactly does that mean?

Both times when I delivered, it was pretty much fast, contraction a bit all day long, water broke, contraction intensifies, then an hour++ later, the baby's out. I'm very2 lucky in that sense. But when people say they're in labour for that, long, does it mean they're having contractions or is it the "pushing" itself? If it's the pushing that lasts that long... wow... I'm speechless!

shakehead.gif haiya.. rollback..

anyways, thanks for the clarification aerikh.

so that means when some moms was "in labour" for a long time, they're most probably in the first stage lah. ok...

anyways, prior to giving birth to my 2nd child, for about 2 weeks or so, i had braxton-hicks contraction. damn uncomfortable. on top of the leg cramps, heart burn etc...

BH contraction is just a fancy term for false contraction.. heheh..

Here's a bit about Braxton-Hicks Contraction...
"But unlike true labor, this so-called false labor doesn't cause significant, progressive dilation of your cervix, and the contractions don't grow consistently longer, stronger, and closer together."

No, I discovered that thru reading. The pain is quite the same, but not as intense. With BH contraction, the pain subsides if I change position, like, if when it comes I was lying on my back, then I switch to lying on my side, then the pain stops.

Hi,

Wanna ask about prenancy test kit..

I read the manual (Bought the ClearBlue brand), it says dip into the collected urine and the "|" will appear in the control window. Then wait for 2 mins before viewing result. But when my wife did the test, dip it into, but the result window has result already shown + before the control window show "|". Faulty test or pregnant liao? The manual say will see "|" first in control window before + is shown 2 minutes later.

You only got one? I usually will buy two, different brands and type of HPT. Then test on both.

No need liao...
If I knew pregnancy test only cost RM25, I rather goto clinic. Thats because the kit I bought (ClearBlue) also cost me around RM2x. Anyway, test with clinic also same result. I think maybe because my wife missed for 2 weeks liao thats why the result appear faster. The ClearBlue stated can test 4days before period due, so I guess its a little bit too sensitive.

The clinics probably use the same type of HPT oso... Then clinic need to pay for doc's consultation fee.

Not too sure about yoga etc though. Perhaps you can check with 'normal' yoga centres, see if they offer yoga for pregnancy?

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.
