I'm a full-time mummy

I am sure you will do alright.  God is amazing and He will bring back your 'breathing' memories in times of need!

Hubs and I took a prenatal class, too but all that went out the window. It didn't help that I had to stay in bed the whole time I was laboring to monitor Nathaniel's heart rate (it went super low during my first hard core contraction) so most of what I learned in class can't be used anyway, i.e. walking, rocking, etc. But mostly, my body and mind knew what I needed to do to cope with the pain so I followed that. I didn't want to be touch at all and did all the massaging and rubbing of my belly. Unfortunately, I had an emergency c-section

And you will be amazing! Praying for you and your little one.

You'll be doing great

Luckily I didn't have to use breathing techniques - I was blissfully on epidural. I'm sure you'll do just fine from your experience with Ben!

no kidding.. i'm also starting to panic.. asking arnd how to breathe and push.. hahahha... but my friend advice was go for epidural coz it will make u more "alert"  during the whole situation.. what's ur advice?

Hey Catheryn!
Thanks, but I don't think the breathing memories will come back since it was never 'installed' at all! ;P

Hey Diana!
THanks for your prayers!

Hey 24yomummy!
Thanks for your encouragement!

Hey Germaine!
I hope so too! Thank you for your support!

Hey Miki!
Errr... I try not to rely on any painkillers or drugs if possible. With Ben, I'm only on the laughing gas ler...

hahaha........... U jangan... nanti panik pulak...

start now u sekarang bernafas thru mouth la... jgn bernafas melalui hidung.... nanti lama2 u akan biasa masa di labour room..hehehe

Don't worry ya. I don't know any techniques also. But thankfully the nurses were very helpful and thought me the way. So I guess I did pretty well. So the dr said..;)

Hey Sumijelly!
Wah, hopefully la yek! ;)

Hey Carolyn!
Welcome back! Long time no hear from you! With Ben, I was busy focusing on pulling out the laughing gas from the gas mask and only heard hubby talking to me. I think the nurse also tried to teach me but too painful to focus on other things that time

eh! sama, I also didn't take painkiller, just the laughing gas, but the laughing gas almost wanna made me drunk, hahaha.

Hi 24yomummy!
Oh, I don't have any 'drunk' issue when using the gas mask, more to not knowing how to use when I first put it over my mouth. I was expecting a gush of fresh air coming towards me but was absolutely pissed when I was told I had to inhale hard in order to pull the gas out! Arghhhhh!!
