Need yr comments...

How do I break the news to my relatives whom I met once a year during cny abt my newborn without upsetting them coz i nvr inform them that I'm pregnant. Or shd I be bother abt them? My mum worry they will blame her. I said it's my personal life, dun hv to broadcast to all. Was thinking whether to order full mth cake out of respect and deliver to them personally. This way they won't be piss with me?

My relatives also I only see during CNY, they didn't know I was pregnant either, until my mum informed them after I delivered. Like u, I also prefer not to broadcast, don't need their nagging n questioning, however well meaning. Luckily my mum feels the same way - she gets very stressed by them too! Ordering n delivering full month cakes personally sounds like a good idea, if u have the time. 都亲自送上门了, they can't be angry at u right?

Babe, I can tell u for me #1,2,3,5,6 I didn't use. Cos room won't be too cold, cos bb won't like, mine was perpectually around 25 degree, until I v hot. PJ not really necessary cos hospital will provide nursing gowns. Chux is the disposable underpad right? Hospital provide. Same for bedroom slippers. What I really used were my pads, n disposable underwear to stick them on.

ok then I think I shld go and charge my pump then!
I think I can seek the nurses' assistance in sterilizing the parts and the bottle?
Click to expand...

If Mt A they prefer you rent from them, then they will take care of all the bottles and sterilizing. Less tiring for mummies too, not exp but forgot how much.

agree with you on ur 2nd pt.

wait till u have @$%& relatives who ask u "how ah the man yue celebration" when u and some of ur cousins are popping abt the same time. then tell u a story bordering around the lines abt the neighbor (not my neighbor) who has say, his daughter planning her wedding at a certain time, then the relative (neighbor's)'s son plans a wedding arnd the same time, so the neighbor is upset. what is the purpose of telling u the story leh

I heard other says underpad is one of chargeable items. i also thought of bringing.. but eventually i took it out from my bag. cos i dunno how to tell nurses about using my own underpad lol.. think they will just go ahead and prepare the underpad even before we know it lol

idk leh. u know yest I went for the hospital tour, I was asking about what is included in the package (for up to single room). apparently it includes consummables like the pads etc. but if u are in the premier single, then everything is a la carte.

Well...I'd tell them the same reasoning lor.

Can't be everyone who has a FSM to calculate the name be very successful right.

Think abt it last time people also call their kids ah kao (dog) or ah ter (pig) , but u also have some of this ah kao or ah ter who became very successful
