[applefreak 1]

heard from a friend that on a scale from 1 to 10

paper cut is 2-3, bad toothache is around 4-5 and child-birth is 10!

I remember a friend saying that a colleague told her that after giving birth, there would be nothing you are afraid of. But she is still 'scared to death' when she needs to see the dentist.

I did c-section at kkh. I vow never to go back there if I ever get pregnant again. It was a totally traumatic experience which remains vivid in my memory and sends a shiver down my spine whenever I recollect the stay.

most important is you must be comfortable with your obstrician

if not best hospital and nurse also no use

most pregnant women i know follow their obstrician, whichever hospital that may be

also, heard that KKH provides the kind of food specially for new mothers e.g. sesame chicken etc

east shore also had....

breakfast, lunch , dinner for new mother

For KKH, if u don't ask, they don't give.

My friend stay in KKH 1 person 1 room one. They give her those normal food (not for new mother type)

wow, then i better don't pregnant liao.

but after the pain.. when u see the baby.. everything is worth it

c-secion.. yes yes.. operation....

epidural.. is a pain release.. to inject ur backbone..

some people want to maintence their hourglass shape, they choose c-section.

But c-section got a time frame and number of time to use....

The last heard is must within 1 yrs cannot have 2 c-section

total use.. 3X

Now I know why I am so fearless. My sis is a gynae and my brother is a dental surgeon.

Okay... so I am a male....

c-section is short for cesarian section. It involves cutting you up. The operation may result in you developing a keloid, which is a scar like overgrowth of tissue. If you like to wear say bikini, the keloid can be quite obvious.

My wife underwent 17 hours of labour, and in the end, she still has to go for the cesarian. My sister prescribed a cream to deter the formation of keloids, but my wife didn't use it consistently, so the scar is fairly obvious. Incidentally, we ended up paying a bit more than usual because we had to pay for both the delivery room charges *and* the operating room charges. Fortunately, we got a waiver on the obstetrician charges.
