I deliver both baby at 39 weeks plus. I think depends on individual lah, my sister her cervic opened when she is 20 weeks plus, so gynae gotta stitch to prevent premature baby. i got friend her family seem to hv overdue history, most of them deliver at 40 weeks plus for their 1st baby.
Extremely painful is depends the level of pain you can take. I feel extremely painful at the very last stage of the delivery, Abt 30mins b4 the baby is out, by then its too late to hv epidural. During my 1st delivery, i felt so painful till i forgotten abt epidural and requested to c-sec. LOL...
For my first delivery i had slight red discharge at 9:00am. After my shower called my gynae and was told that i will not deliver so fast, anything just head to hospital and hospital will update him. At 3:00pm there is still no sign of water bag burst nor contraction, and called hospital to...

Baby can put in baby tub and bath, nurses did that in the hospital too. All you need to do is to adjust the bath water temperature that suit the baby, use the water to pat on his/her chest 3 times before you put the baby into the bath tub.

U can change for your baby if he/she is wif you, OR you can call the nurse to change.
There is once, i try to change for my baby but she poos till very messy. I called nurse for help and they had to bring her back to the nursery rm to clean her up.
When the baby is in the hospital, they will use diapers (pampers brand), switch to cloth diaper after your baby discharge.
Just FYI, most of the time the poo stain on the cloth diaper is not easy to remove. I hv to soak wif hot water and Napisan for a few days before removing the stains...
