Labor Story

Thanks to Isabelle's tag, now its my turn :)
Quite timely looking at I've got another erm 21 weeks to go...reminisence of fifteen months ago....

3 sakit yg anda takut bila mengandung / nak bersalin

• Sakit contraction – worse than the delivery pain itself. Before labor tuh ingat delivery je yang sakit…but rupe-rupernya it’s the contraction…
• Sakit hati when people are not considerate – taula I am very active and hard-core, but now am pregnant la woi!
• Erm…only 2 je kot…

3 proses yg anda harap boleh skip time mengandung/ bersalin

• Achy legs towards the end of the pregnancy (2nd time ni baru experience this and its really horrible.
• Itch during the 1st trimester (which extended to almost throughout the 2nd for my 2nd time)
• The strict no-shower-rule during confinement which my mum made me go through (arrrgh this is horrible , not looking forward to it this time either)
  

3. 3 beza labor story (normal/ induce/ caesar)

• Normal – the most ideal with fastest recovery. I didn’t even use the painkillers given to me the very next day.
• Induced - Oh yes, I had to be induced cos my waterbag leaked but I wasn’t even dilated yet. And even after being induced, my labor onset was really slow in the beginning.
• Caesar – oh no…I don’t want to ever experience this and I think that women who go through this (by choice and not because of a life threatening situation to either mother or child or the gynea suggested cos he/she came up with a very convincing reason to just make more $$ from you) are faint-hearted and will never know the ‘beauty’ and ‘pain’ behind childbirth… (wah, macam I terror sangat pulak ;p sorry if anyone felt the pinch)

I forgot....these are the next Labor Stories we could hear from....
