wife deliver but may not be there with her

[daBoss]

thinking about it...

i'll be in singapore... dalady's due sometime in may/june... 3rd baby... could explode anytime 2 weeks early or 2 weeks late... so that's about 1 month!!!

since there's no way i can take 1 month leave, i guess there's a chance that i won't be in kl when dalady actually goes into labour...

if dalady goes into labour at night... i may not be able to get a flight home in time... :(

how ah?

[LiLiaN]

daboss, i think there are tell tale signs when labour is imminent, isn't it..?
get dalady to tell you, then hire a car right away and get back...

[daBoss]

get dalady to tell you, then hire a car right away and get back...
thought of that... she and my parents definitely won't allow that... they'd be worried about safety... since i have really really bad driving habits...

[Oddfather]

althou there are no facts to back this claim....but I think baby after the 1st one usually comes earlier....so my 2 sen advise is to prepare for early delivery than later.

[daBoss]

althou there are no facts to back this claim....but I think baby after the 1st one usually comes earlier....so my 2 sen advise is to prepare for early delivery than later.
hahaha... any doctors to verify this claim? :)

i think knowing my luck... i'd probably make the wrong bet...

[LiLiaN]

thought of that... she and my parents definitely won't allow that... they'd be worried about safety... since i have really really bad driving habits...ah... worried if you're in hurry doesn't care about road safety huh...
well, there's always the next bus/train out...
but considering the waiting time, probably quicker by flight then...

[Oddfather]

hahaha... any doctors to verify this claim? :)

i think knowing my luck... i'd probably make the wrong bet...
what are you betting on? early or late??

[SS2006]

hahaha... any doctors to verify this claim? :)

i think knowing my luck... i'd probably make the wrong bet...
Depends whether your first two early or late...the trend will normally be the same. Both mine early.

[LiLiaN]

hahaha... any doctors to verify this claim? :)
i think knowing my luck... i'd probably make the wrong bet...err... i think it should be the delivery time would be faster...
i.e. first child takes longer to deliver, then subsequent child less labour time...
i don't think it's anything to do with the period of gestation...

[h2o]

althou there are no facts to back this claim....but I think baby after the 1st one usually comes earlier....so my 2 sen advise is to prepare for early delivery than later.
u r absolutely rite man

[daBoss]

ah... worried if you're in hurry doesn't care about road safety huh...

may miss the delivery especially if she goes into labour 10-11 pm... i guess we'll just have to see...

[h2o]

only an hour or so

[LiLiaN]

may miss the delivery especially if she goes into labour 10-11 pm... i guess we'll just have to see...perhaps try a chauffered car..? (if cost is no objection)

[Oddfather]

u r absolutely rite man
danke...mdm.:)

[daBoss]

only an hour or so
common misconception...

flight is only 40+ minutes... but the dem airport procedures alone take more than 2.5 hours total for both sides...

total about 3 hours at least... also, after 10+ pm, no more flight abck to kl...

[monay]

and somehow kids usually arrive in the middle of the night....eh, da baby boy or girl? chose the name? care to share?

[daBoss]

Depends whether your first two early or late...the trend will normally be the same. Both mine early.
first one was on the dot!

second one was 2 weeks early - induced... since dalady had stomach flu and cause some complications...

[daBoss]

and somehow kids usually arrive in the middle of the night....eh, da baby boy or girl? chose the name? care to share?
3rd one is a girl...

i just told h2o that we haven't decided on anything yet but it will start with an 'e'... like ethan and elise tiong (my 2 kids)...

i won't waste time thinking coz dalady will veto my choice... :)

[LiLiaN]

[siewhaw]

we're trying to help get 5 letters name with two syllables...

hem...kinda difficult. Then from the earlier list have to eliminate some names, i.e. esther, eleanor, emma, ella.

[LiLiaN]

hem...kinda difficult. Then from the earlier list have to eliminate some names, i.e. esther, eleanor, emma, ella.yup, those kinda would need to be eliminated... is ester a valid name..?

[siewhaw]

yup, those kinda would need to be eliminated... is ester a valid name..?

don't think it's a valid name. looks like spelling error. furthermore it's a character in the bible so shouldn't amend the original name.

[LiLiaN]

true also... can't think of anything else with 5 letters, bisyllable, starting with E...
i got a couple more irish name but difficult to pronounce for people who are not familiar...
don't want to risk other people making fun of the child due to her name...

[Dino]

No matter what, no eleanor please. That name gives me goosebumps. :sick:

[Dino]

I dunno to to spell it but a name that is pronounce L-C...
Elsee or something like that.

No matter what, no eleanor please. That name gives me goosebumps. :sick:

[siewjang]

When a women have gone thru 1st and 2nd natural delivery, don't think they will opt for a c-sec for the 3rd one. Daboss, maybe you can fixed a date and induce the baby at your convenience probably at 36 to 38 weeks? For induce birth, the O&G will make sure that the baby is at a good weight like 3kg? During my time, my gynae keep on pestering me to induce. He say why want to carry full term. Not heavy meh? haha... That time my baby is already 3.5kg at 38 weeks.

[athena]

haha..make money only la if induce...why wanna add up cost?

[Oddfather]

daboss mentioned the 3rd baby is a girl.
So Edwin II may not go down go well.

[song cm]

Edwina?? :)

[Oddfather]

Edwina?? :)
Lets wait for daboss signal.

[alfred98]

Doc giving advice here ok, free one lor....
Ok! If the the due date is very correct then opt for planned delivery...That's mean, by 38 weeks going for induction of labour..Daboss can come back on that day for this usually not much of complication if previous 2 had normal delivery..
This is called tailored planned delivery..in private definately.:)

[siewjang]

haha..make money only la if induce...why wanna add up cost?
Induce will be cheaper than c-sec and also to fly down urgently when labour is here. I think only few hundred extra for the drugs.

eerrr... still cheaper than cater for a copter hor.

[Linkinfark]

Are we gonna have a poll to select Daboss's baby's name?!! After all, this forum is considered his baby too... ;)

[siewjang]

Throw in one more suggestion - Elena, Emily, Elisa :) (from family of Dass) Elaine, Eunice, Eureka...

[LiLiaN]

i thought we're trying to help find name with 5 letters, 2 syllables, starting with E...? :huh:

Loctor Alfred98...you're the best lah! :D

[alfred98]

Loctor Alfred98...you're the best lah! :D
He he!!! Small favour onli mah.....Can deliver with me?

[Lava Gal]

I tot of ELSIE too...reshuffling Elise :)
In line with the criteria..What bout ELFIE?

daboss...i dont think c-section is good ides, coz if previous 2 babies delivered vaginally, why go for something unnatural? natural is dabest!

why women want to tolerate the pain of labour? to suffer isn't divine...but undergoing a c-section is not pain free! u need more time to recover from the surgical wound...and must care for baby at same time. mom's with normal vaginal delivery recover soon after, and can spend more Quality time wif baby.

my mom had 3 babies...and the third one, within 1/.2hr of onset of pain, my little bro was out dee! boys *shake heads*...too fast eh :p
anyway that was at a reasonable hr in the evening...unless us two gals who chose early morning (unearthly hrs) to come out.

anyway...what i'm trying to say is, da2ndgirl might come out pretty soon after pain onset. so boss, try changing ur schedule if can la...singapore can wait during that period.

or forego temaning dalady...i'm sure she'll be understanding. the baby will be ok...my dad was in germany & only came back weeks before my 1st Bday.

though it'll be hard on u...catch the soonest flight u can get, and kalau sempat can teman, if not...hey both mom & child will be urs to see & hug & wateva else :)

as for induction...well, our O&G s[ecialist suggested it...but i dun think gomen hosp will like d idea. so i'm not so much for unnecessary induction...final words for today : "pregnancy is a physiological process, as long as its natural, let God have his will...if its unnatural, let our O&Gs have a hand in it :) "

Yap!! Induction is the process of inducing...
It can be few methods but the normally by medical or prostin tablets or if the Cervix is open then artificial rupture of membrane follow by oxytocin drip....:) The other complications are failure to induce then had to caeser lor...
